sirenspull_logs | 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.

[Watching Jake tug at his mask makes Norman have the knee-jerk reaction to touch his own mask as a reminder that "Right. I still got this stupid thing on."]

I can't pin the blame on this thing. That was just me being careless.

[He folds his arms.]

I uh...I believe we've spoken before. Over on the network.

[ Jake drops his hand and goes back to staring thoughtfully at Jayden, already forgetting the fact that he almost lost his food recently. He's just glad he wasn't the only one to think he'd met this guy before. But the question was where... ]

I was just thinking that! Do you ever stop by Lion's Gate?

Heard of the place but I haven't actually been there. You probably got me mixed-up with some other person.

[Wrong guy maybe? No...Jayden is definitely sure he has talked to this guy before.]

[ Dammit all! And Jake was so sure he'd pinned this one down. He could have seen him on the streets sometime possibly? But he sees so many people and their faces disappear from his memory the moment he looks away unless something is exceedingly odd about them.

No, this man made some kind of impression, but... what was it? ]

Over the NVs maybe?

Yeah. That's it.

[Amazing what a few weeks can do to your memory. That doesn't stop Jayden from thinking this once over. Small details matter from a person's appearance, their speech pattern or certain subjects they bring up in conversations. In this case it's--]

You mentioned knowing a lot about monsters.

[There is a slight inflection in that statement. God, how the hell did he not catch his name?]

[ Jake grins, now he remembers the fellow! The new arrival that was getting something of a runaround from people when it came to explanations on the monsters around these parts. He's glad he finally got that all figured out. In fact, Jake's not even concerned about the failure of a name exchange. ]

And you're the new guy! I remember it all clear as day.

[There goes one mystery solved. The corners of Jayden's mouth pull a small smirk as he pushes the mask up from his face. The fact that he managed to keep his mask on for this long was a miracle in itself.]

You had me going there for a sec, I thought I had completely lost it.

[ One small mystery on an island shrouded in them, alas. But hey, at least being able to identify the people around them gave them one less thing to worry about, and considering Jake didn't recognize the vast majority of the people here it was nice to see a familiar face. Even if they'd only spoken once before. ]

A scarily easy thing to think in a place like this, but don't worry this time. You're all still there upstairs as far as I'm aware.

There's that, at least.

[He jokes but at this point, Jayden is counting the little things here in Siren's Port that help him keep his composure.]

Sorry but I don't think I caught your name back then.

[ No one can blame him, really. Most people don't go from one island overrun by monsters to another, and the transition can be pretty jarring.

Jake's more than happy to free up his hands first chance he gets though and offer his hand for a handshake. ]

Jake English. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[And Jayden is more than happy too reciprocate by giving Mr. English a firm handshake.]

Pleasure to meet you too, Jake.

[Boy, normally he would have to chase after teenagers his age just so he can ask a few questions regarding a case. Sure is an odd yet nice change in pace.]

Sorry, I don't mean to hold you up. You probably have other people to hang out with.

[ Jake can always appreciate a good handshake. You can judge a man's worth through his handshake! ... Okay, that's not actually true, but still. ]

What here? I wouldn't worry about that. They've all got their own business to attend to.
