Halloween Masquerade Ball

Who: The Newcomer Political Party and The Newcomers!
When: October 27th, 7:00pm till Morning Sirens.
Where: The Newcomer Community Center
Summary: Time for some Halloween Masquerade Fun!
Warnings: Anything is possible!

The Community Center has been transformed into a sophisticated autumn dance hall, with bits of Halloween decorations around the room. When the door opens, you find yourself in the hall before the main room, someone ready to take your coat, if you have one, and another ready to give out bracelets. That way no one who shouldn't be drinking won't be able to.



The dance floor is surrounded by a number of small, round tables, each with an elaborate centerpiece of cobwebs. There are lights within the hanging decorations, with draped fabric over the sides, to give it a more close knit feeling. At the head of all the tables is a bar serving free drinks and cocktails to anyone over age. There is also a buffet



And then, of course, there is the dance floor, where people are dancing to the music supplied by two talented DJs, lights blinking and the room ready for everyone to have a good time.



Last call for food is two hours before sirens, and then the last call for drinks is an hour before the party finishes. You might want to be careful when it gets to be that time, though. Around 1:00 am, the party is going to change, due to a series of unfortunate events. You may not be very hungry or thirsty for awhile after.

[Halloween was a very enjoyable time of the year for Kaito. Quircky characters, candy... what more could a phantom thief and master of disguise like him ask for? And despite his circumstances, he wasn't about to slouch on this year's costume.

He doesn't arrive alone-- it was Aoko he had promised he'd take to this event. But he does arrive wearing a flowing, red cloak, a jaunty French-style hat, and a black mask pulled over his eyes. The Alfred Noyes-inspired highwayman costume was fashioned to match Aoko's dress, because hey... who didn't like themed costumes?]


Looks pretty crowded already, doesn't it?

[Really, it was the last time she let him take care of this kind of thing. Aoko comes in behind him, still decidedly pink behind her red-jeweled mask, hair and eyes temporarily black -- Bess to his Highwayman. She was highly conscious of the dress that swished around her waist and ankles -- or, more accurately, the tightness of the bodice on a girl who was already far too self-conscious about her chest. For the moment, she ignores the question, settling her arms into a cross over her front -- and not quite settling on the position, shifting and re-shifting it.]

So this was funny how, again?

[personal profile] pandorabox 2012-10-30 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
It's funny in a clever way, that's how.

[He responds cheerfully, spinning towards her as he held his cloak out in front of him, as though it were a large cape]

Clever and unique. I doubt you'll find anyone else here dressed similarly.

[And Kaito had always favored uniqueness]

[So trying not to be impressed over here, Kaito.]

'S an excuse to try to make yourself look cool, isn't it?

. . . You actually read the poem, right?

[personal profile] pandorabox 2012-10-30 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
[a snort]

Like I need an excuse for that.

[he lowers his cloak to his side again]

And of course I did. Doesn't mean the characters don't make good costumes.

[. . . He left himself so far open on that first line. But amazingly, Aoko passes it up, maybe because of Ultra Super Uncomfortable.]

Moooooou.

[Arm re-shifting!]

[personal profile] pandorabox 2012-10-30 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Her passing up a chance like that certainly wasn't normal, and he could already tell this would be a sulky night so long as she stayed in that mood]

Oi, c'mon. [He said, tilting his head towards her and letting his grin soften]

We're here to have fun, right?
whitefeathered: (to annoy)

[personal profile] whitefeathered 2012-10-30 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe.

[In other words, could be baited, but depends on how good he makes the deal.]

[personal profile] pandorabox 2012-10-30 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe.

[He repeated the word, a bit flatly, and extended his hand to her, head tilted slightly]

Try definitely. [a beat] D'you wanna dance?
whitefeathered: (to surprise)

[personal profile] whitefeathered 2012-10-30 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
[It's surprising enough of a question to make her blink and lose that sulky look.]

'Kay.

[And she finds her hand crept into his without her quite being sure how it got there. Plainly both body and brain have decided to be traitors today.]

[personal profile] pandorabox 2012-10-30 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
[It's a surprising enough of an answer to pull a genuine smile out of him as his fingers close around her hand, tugging her gently towards the dance floor]
whitefeathered: (to flush)

[personal profile] whitefeathered 2012-10-30 02:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[All right, so maybe she was hoping just a little bit that he would ask tonight -- and not just be the ego-inflated showman he usually was. She was still getting used to this new side of him, and it was still fairly rare, but admittedly (if privately) . . . she liked it. Her fingers tighten hesitantly around his hand in turn, and she allows herself to be tugged towards the other dancers.]

[She's not pink at this point. That's definitely imagination.]

[personal profile] pandorabox 2012-10-31 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
[He couldn't boast about being an incredibly accomplished dancer, but he did at least know what he was doing. As they approached the dance floor he turned towards her, lacing his fingers with hers]

D'you know how to dance?
whitefeathered: (to flush)

[personal profile] whitefeathered 2012-10-31 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Trying especially hard now not to turn red with his proximity. Focus.]

A little?

[In other words, not a lot. But after some hesitation, her opposite hand slides up to his shoulder.]

[personal profile] pandorabox 2012-10-31 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
[His other one comes to rest on her waist]

A little is good enough.

[He waits until they're able to match the beat of the music before he steps back. He goes slowly, to make sure that she can follow]
whitefeathered: (to flush)

[personal profile] whitefeathered 2012-10-31 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Of course she can follow; she would retort at that. But she is kind of watching their feet. Her hand on his shoulder is tense and a little damp.]

[personal profile] pandorabox 2012-10-31 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
[He speeds up a little bit when he notices that]

Look up, not at your feet. You know what you're doing.
whitefeathered: (to surprise)

[personal profile] whitefeathered 2012-10-31 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Starting to look up. Really. But keeps looking back down. It's just too tempting!]

[personal profile] pandorabox 2012-10-31 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
[He notices, and jokes lightly]

Are my feet really that interesting?
whitefeathered: (to sulk)

[personal profile] whitefeathered 2012-11-01 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
Mou. I'm doing the best I can.

[Her eyes tug back up to his. He's so close . . . and though she blamed him for choosing this costume to make himself look cool, she'll admit (very privately) that it suits him. He is handsome.]

[Muttering, trying to take her mind off her own thoughts,]
Where'd you learn to dance, anyway?

[personal profile] pandorabox 2012-11-01 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her question is met with a shrug, and he continues to lead her through the music, in time with the beat]

Mom taught me. I don't know anything fancy, just the basics.
whitefeathered: (to flush)

[personal profile] whitefeathered 2012-11-02 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
[The thought of Kaito asking his mother to teach him to dance is somewhat mind-boggling.]

Why'd she teach you?

[personal profile] pandorabox 2012-11-02 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
[It's a good thing he didn't actually ask]

She told me it'd come in handy one day, and made some joke about girls. [shrugs] You know Mom's weird.
