Welcome to Gaia! ::

Emerwyn finally steeled herself up to come to the Halloween "Bash."
She found the whole thing overall out of place, and really didn't want to go. But, seeing as she had requested a costume (which she never tried on til this night) and she needed somewhere to go to get her mind off of Ian, here she came.
The room was bustling with activity. Almost everyone she knew, and then some, were there.
She all of a sudden felt self-concious about her costume, as she did when she first got her new, more revealing clothes.

She was dressed as a Dryad, a tree nymph.
She had fake bark covers on her upper legs and arms, and part of her torso. Her top was a green and brown corset piece with "leaves" along the top, covering her chest.
She was wearing a very small green "leaf" skirt, with brown stockings, which cut off at the ankle. Her feet were bare. She had heavy green make-up around her eyes, and actually took off her glasses. Leaves were in her hair, as well as green highlights. A flower choker wrapped itself delicately about her neck.
Overall, she was very impressed with the costume, and that's why she actually got up the nerve to wear it.

When she walked in, she immediately began drifting towards the drinks. She figured she'd wait for someone to talk to her.

((jumping in, don't mind me mrgreen ))

((Heh, *confused about posting but goes ahead* I say just post when it feels appropriate to....* shrugs* Kind of like a real party, kind of what people at the begining did when there started to be more people <.<; ))


Awen grinned up at the tall man. She looked back to the group and her smile softened. she was actually feeling out of place now that she was the only one without a real costume. But she ignored that awkward, not fitting in, feeling and just went with the party.

She glanced over and saw Emerwyn enter the party she smiled a little to her but made no formal greeting. She wasn't sure what to say to her after the awkward parting last time... Soon she just turned ehr attention back to Jamal and the othr group.

Waving to Emerwyn and chuckling, she let herself be pulled into a dance. "You can't not like Bob Marley, but after this I want a fast song. Girl's got to stretch her legs, you know?"

And show off her skills. The hawk whispered.

She jumped a bit feeling Jamal poke her, she chuckled softly and poked him back. She looked over to Ambrose and nodded a little bit. "Well I figured that he didn't get an invitation because I hadn't either. I just sent him a note incase no one else told him about it... I kinda... wanted him to meet the... islanders that have been around longer...ya know?" Hinting at the obvious without actually saying it. She didn't really want to push something on Jamal again, because he might get annoyed instead of just thinking she's trippin.

Ambrose smiled encouragingly to the two as they took off dancing. Things were actually starting to feel better around here - the obvious overshadowing problems aside. At least he could safely say that he felt happy for his two friends as opposed to jealos.

"Well, I'm glad you could make it to the party, Jamal" Ambrose smiled. "And you too, Awen - I hadn't had the pleasure of meeting either of you before tonight.

Ambrose turned to the concessions table and picked up a plate, putting a couple of the small finger sandwiches on it, munching on one of them as his date had wandered off and wasn't around to share a dance with. "Have you tried some of this? It's quite tasty." Ambrose smiled. "Though I fear they may have gone a bit excessive in the Halloween-themed food.... I'm not sure if the bugs there are supposed to be a joke... or not." Or perhaps a jab at some of their changing appetites. "Regardless, I have heard that some people in other countries eat them" He gave a grimace at the thought. "But I haven't exactly tried them myself..."

The black man eyed the insect-laden table with a great deal of apprehension, his nose wrinkling underneath the sheet as he approached the table to peer at the rest of the food. "I sure be hopin' no one gonna eat those. Where I come from, we stomp da s**t outta them things...not serve 'em up in a damn bowl."

He prodded one of the finger sandwiches, expecting to see a leg pop out of one of them.

"Sure grasshopper." - he walked to the sound system to punch in three Gypsy Kings songs in. Then he walked up to Jamal and Awen and smiled at the blue haired girl: "You wanna try this dancing thing? Dont' worry, I'll lead. Want to try?" - he asked nonchalantly.
