Mizaka groaned a bit when Michiyo commented on her dress. "Thanks, I guess. It's the only thing I have that resembles a toga..." She swung her bat into her hand and grumbled under her breath. "Who do I have to hurt for this...?""Good day!" Jack suddenly appeared next to them, sporting a long black feminine-looking toga. "Lovely time for a party, isn't it?" Mizaka's eye twitched as she stared at her Spirit's attire. "Oh God, whyyyyyyyy?!"((Jack pretty much looks like this now:  At least he's having fun~))

"The name's Erin York. You're an Exorcist?" he shook the girl's hand briefly.
He sighed as Soma walked away. Should happen? He doesn't even know us. How does he know what should happen? He scanned the room again until his eyes fell on Michiyo once more. She was talking to another girl he didn't know, and he realized that he really didn't know anyone at the Order, except for Michiyo. He downed the rest of his punch and decided to join the two young ladies. He was starting to feel slightly tingly from the two cups of punch, but they still barely had any affect on him, with his high tolerance.
"Excuse me," he nodded to Cecil before moving to where Mizaka and Michiyo stood.
"Yo," he smiled at both of them and extended his hand to Mizaka to formally introduce himself, "I'm Erin York. I don't think I've ever spoken to you."
He didn't exactly know what he was doing. Maybe it was the alcohol, maybe it was something else, but he felt the sudden need to socialize. He should probably have more friends anyway, he couldn't stick to Michiyo like glue could he? She probably didn't want that anyway.

Mizaka had buried her face in her hands in order to keep her precious eyes from staring at Jack. She looked up when she heard Erin speak to her and quickly shook his extended hand.
"Mizaka Kotori. Nice to meet you. I've seen you around before, but we've never introduced ourselves."

Cecil murmured out "Yes I'm an Exorcist." She watched the Erin leave. She return her attention to the cookies and grabbed another. She walked away to an unoccupied chair and sat down in it. She bit the cookie in half and ate it. Her icy blue eyes scanning and watching everyone.

Michiyo couldn't suppress the snort caused by Jack's outfit and enthusiasm, turning into a full laugh at Mizaka's response. "Looking good, Jack," she grinned.
When Erin joined them, she felt the nerves she had hoped had gone come back. Come on, now, play it cool, she berated herself mentally, returning the smile. She watched, hands clutched behind her back, as he introduced himself to Mizaka, surprised that they didn't already know each other.

[ Erin, what are you doing? sweatdrop ]
"Well, you really stand out with that red. Are you an Exorcist too?" he asked with somewhat feigned interest. He didn't notice the Spirit yet.
He didn't really pay too much attention to Michiyo, but he did compliment her briefly, "You look pretty."

"Why, thank you, my dear lady!" Jack bowed before Michiyo. "I must say, you look quite ravishing as well!" Mizaka covered her face again in embarrassment before turning to face Erin.
"No, I'm a Soul Officer. I'm here on a mission. This clown-" she pointed at Jack, "-is my Spirit, who is pretty much a dead guy that I'm connected to."

Michiyo glanced up when Erin turned to her and complimented her, and she started to reply, "Tha-..." but faltered when he almost immediately turned his attention back to his conversation with Mizaka.
Frowning, she closed her mouth, folding her arms across her chest, unaccustomed as she was to being pretty much ignored by him. She was saved from what would probably be a long train of thought by Jack's reply, and she shifted towards him, grinning, "Thank you. I was lucky to have something laying about with such short notice! Any thought as to who's idea this was?" There had been no name on the note.

"Oh. That's a ghost?" he glanced at Jack and narrowed his eyes for a second, as if examining.
Ravishing? Erin scoffed at Jack's compliment to Michiyo, even though he had to agree. He looked around, trying desperately to find something to talk about. Raising a hand to his hair, he dug his fingers through it in slight frustration. What was he even doing? He ran his palm across the sides of his head where his hair was shaved close, feeling the odd sensation of the slightly rough fuzz. Maybe he should actually talk to Michiyo about it...at least get it off his chest. He still didn't even know exactly what was on his chest. Stupid...
"I need some more to drink," he said rather abruptly as he turned and stalked back to the punch bowl, serving yet another cup and downing it in one go.

"I have no idea, to be honest," Jack answered with a shrug. "Whoever it is, though, they have a pretty good sense of humor."
"Yeah, a 'ghost,' as some people call them," replied Mizaka. She raised an eyebrow when Erin suddenly turned around and left them for the punch. She turned to Jack and Michiyo and made a "tsk" sound. "Good sense of humor? I see nothing funny about this..." She shifted a bit and realized it was getting a little breezy down where the toga didn't cover her legs. Blushing a bit, she tried to pull her short dress a little lower.

Cecil laughed lightly at the scene that was unfolding before her. She may be only ten years old but even she could tell what was going on. She smiled lightly as she bit into another cookie that she took from the snack table.
This is very interesting.

[[ I love how every character is completely in the know about what exactly is going on between them, except the ones in question <3 ]]
She had to agree with Mizaka. While her toga was pretty long and actually provided sufficient cover, the actual amusement of everyone dressed in this fashion was beyond her.
When Erin stalked off towards the snack table, she couldn't help but follow his progress from the corner of her eyes, and watched with a raised brow as he downed a cup of punch rather hastily. Averting her gaze back to Jack and Mizaka, she wondered why he was so odd tonight and whether or not it had anything to do with last night. She felt she was doing a pretty good job of acting normalcy, but perhaps there was something that had made him upset?
Looking for a distraction, she asked, "So, how did you two meet? I've been wondering how this works exactly," she motioned between Mizaka and Jack.

((I think it's cute. XD ))
Cecil jumped down from her chair and stalked the snack table for something that wasn't spiked. She settled for a bottle of water. Her gaze once more on the others in the room when she opened the bottle. She hummed about and then stopped.
"Oh.....You know I'm surprised Komui didn't do anything to this party." Cecil muttered to herself. She was now wary about everything around her.

Erin crushed the cup in his fist and leaned on the snack table with a sigh. The whole thing was ridiculous. One minute all he could think about was Michiyo, all he wanted to do was gather her up in his arms and kiss her. The next moment he was writing the entire thing off, doubting himself, telling himself he was making a mountain out of a molehill. Maybe he should just ignore everything he was feeling and keep his distance with everyone again. It was easier to just stay away, right? It was easier not to become attached, and to be independent and just take care of yourself. You promised...
He did promise. He promised he would stick by her side, and what if he broke that now? He thought about what happened the last time he broke a promise and his jaw tightened, his throat closing up at the memory. He shook his head and pushed the thoughts away roughly, straightening up and standing there for a long moment, trying to decide his next move. He was vaguely aware of Cecil as she approached the table, and was only broken from his reverie when she finally spoke.
"...Don't count your chickens before they hatch," he commented. It still wasn't too late for something to go terribly wrong.

Mizaka stopped pulling on her dress and looked up to meet Michiyo's gaze.
"How did we meet? It's a pretty long story..."
"It's not like we're going anywhere..." retorted Jack. Mizaka shot him a glare at him before shifting to face Michiyo.
"Well, the first thing you need to know is that I'm a Master, a type of human being who can control Magic. When I was around ten-years-old, I ran away from home and travelled to England, where I attended the Soul Academy, a renowned school for young Masters. I got in pretty easily once the teachers saw how well I could perform Magic despite my young age. For two years I've attended the school..."
"Then I appeared," said Jack, cutting in to continue the story. "During that time, I had spent many years in Hell. One day, I've decided that I was getting tired of eternal torture and managed to make my escape. As soon as I reached Earth, my powers were going out of control, thus transforming me into a Poltergeist, a type of violent and dangerous Spirit. I soon found myself at the entrance of the Soul Academy, where I began causing havoc and damage around the school."
"The teachers had all of the students evacuated," continued Mizaka, "but I decided to stay behind. I found Jack residing in one of the storage rooms and we had a very long and difficult fight. Eventually, I've managed to pin him down and defeat him. The teachers were shocked to see such a young girl defeat a Poltergeist all by herself. They never witnessed anything like it before. They were about to send him back to Hell when he started begging me to spare him."
"I was not begging, I was negotiating," scoffed Jack.
"Whatever. Anyway, I felt bad for him and decided to make a deal with him; if he formed a bond with me and became my Spirit, Hell wouldn't be able to touch him. Now, once you've managed to control your Magic, you can bond with any Spirit from Heaven. But bonding with a Spirit from Hell is nearly impossible. I tried anyway, not really expecting it to work. To both of our surprise, and to my teachers', the bonding worked and, as a result of that, I've graduated from the Academy at the age of twelve and was allowed to join the Soul Officers."
"The youngest one in recorded history," grinned Jack. "We've been together for two years -nearly three now- and we're pretty grateful for each other."
