Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Wow, that sucks." Usually Kim didn't really have issues with accents, but Alec's really ought to have come with a manual - it has taken her a few seconds to actually understand what the teen had been talking about, curling one strand of her own black locks around her finger nerviously. All that hair loss talk had her on edge a bit.

Then, Liamh spoke, and she laughed a bit. "Oh, trust me, I wouldn't either, they all look the same."

Zach stumbled as well, almost bumping into someone as he fought to dislodge his claws from what had been Emer's Celtic costume earlier. There were a lot more people in here suddenly than there had been before, crowding the room and buzzing with varying voices that made his head spin. If he'd had any grace sober, it had been completely eaten away by the alcohol. Eventually the hopping around got the cloth off, but at the cost of his balance. Down he went, wings flapping uselessly, to land right on his butt.

He scrambled back to his feet as quickly as his drunkenness would allow, using the pitchfork to get some leverage. When he turned around again to find Emer, he was taken by surprise. Without the huge cloth thing she'd been wearing before, Emerwyn's costume under her costume was pretty sexy, Zach had to admit. He'd been seeing an awful lot of skin that night, and it definitely appealed to the human fraction of his DNA. He couldn't act on it, though - he knew he was only at the party to wait for Kaveri to show up. But that didn't mean he couldn't look if she was willing to wear something that revealing.

Rex's comment toward her interrupted his good mood, and the pace of the music had changed on him, leaving him struggling to find some dance moves. He too took another few dance steps toward Emerwyn, leaning his snout toward her as he tried to keep up with the pace of the song. It wasn't over yet. "Y'know, Emer, you're quite a dancsssser..."

"I think it is Rex," Nita agreed, standing on tiptoe to see. "Emerwyn, too, I think." She made a face when she recognized Zach. Even after what Kikue had said about him helping her, Nita still didn't trust him. It seemed odd that Rex and Zach would be anywhere near each other (and not shouting), but maybe they had come to terms since she'd seen them.

Ha.

"Well, do you want a drink or something?" she asked, trying to keep them both away from Zach, even if she did want to say hi to Rex.

Gallen laughed, "who is Vampier Hunter D?" He let Liamh ponder over his costume. He felt a little dizzy as he did this, takeing in another deep breath.

Not only did Tommy see Alec, but he also noticed Ambrose as he walked into the room. He was curious as to how...or if he remembered the bat-man. Tommy wasn't sure which one he'd prefer really...

Aubrey had come out of his duplex...were they friends? Ugh...maybe this party wasn't such a good idea...sharks to the left of me, wolves to the right here I am, stuck in the middle with you. He grins and chuckles behind his mask.

...and then they started talking about stuff he didn't know a thing about again. Alec reached back to snatch up another handfull of easily-accessible snack foods, filling his cheeks as an excuse to his sparse contributions to the conversation. Luckily he hadn't spotted the bat-man nearby, though he probably would've have been able to correctly identify him if he tried. All-in-all a good thing, of course.

Hr grinned at Liamh and suddenly decided it was about time to stake out the fun and games in the joint, already scanning the area for where they might be hiding. "Wanneh 'ave a try? A' be' a' coul' beat ue's all!" The childish shark snickered, haughtily challenging even though it already had been said that he'd most likely win.

Ambrose paused at the entranceway, eyes sweeping the crowd: the people, the costumes! It was almost an overload on the senses. Many of the faces were familiar, but Ambrose was surprised at just how many were not.

And even those that might be familiar had almost without exception changed since he last saw them. There was ... Rex.... Tommy? And Alec... Emerwyn and Gaius, and then a good deal of other people he didn't know. Most had pulled off into smaller groups and were chatting.

He noticed Tommy - that's who it was, right? Even behind the mask, the long fingers were unmistakable. He smiled and waved at him, walking further into the tent.

"Mmmmm... peeeenut butter cups..." Liamh said, his eyes glazing over zombielike at the mention of them. "Oh lord, why did you have to mention them... they've gotta have 'em around here somewhere..." he glanced over the table, snagging a peanut-butter covered celery stick. Not the same, but it'd staunch the craving for the moment.

"Heh! You're on, Alec! Anyone wanna go see what they've got? I haven't had any alcohol yet, but i can still make an arse of myself in no time..." He thumped the sharkboy on the back, glancing over curiously as he noted the fin. Ahh, that made sense.
