(The party.)
The guard and Aiden had just began getting onto friendly terms, not that the bouncer's hold on the doorway was any less when Chance made his grand entrance. The bouncer on the floor eyes flared and the man lips were tight, enclosing the lines of angry sentences that were in the mix of could be happenings. He knew of Chance Godfrey and that was enough to let a moment of humiliation slide. A moment later the bouncer was up on his feet again and already had planned where it was his bit of anger would be taken out on.
And then Mairead stepped in.
"Dude, so sorry." Aiden cried and hurried her walk inside where she picked up her pace for a few meters and let the two girls go after pulling them in front of her. "Well, I liked him? Did you?"

Once inside it wasn't the grand beauty of the place, or the assembly of wealthy influential people that caught his eye; but a passing water. Chance was as quick to inappropriate actions as he had been at the front door, right hand gripping that silver platter teeming with drinks while his left hand used the cane to ease the waiter away with quite the devious, intimidating look on his face. Regardless of his status, his sheer size was enough to send the young man scrambling; leaving Chance to his spoils.
A quick glance around the room, albeit a little foggy from the untold amounts of liquor he'd consume, granted him the expected sight of his entourage in the crowd - they never missed a beat. Eye contact with one and a wave of his cane sent them simultaneously into action toward a choice seat in the far back corner where a luxurious booth stood. In fact by the time he'd arrived, the multitide of people that had been inhabiting it were being cowed away by his men's 'persuasions'. He settled into the craddle of the seat, facing the crowd and laying down that tray before offering his goons a rare chance to sit with him.
He'd only been there a short while and already the somber masses were beginning to bore him; a quockly finished glass of champagne easing that thought momentarily, and even brightened his outlook with new hopes of finding some delinquent friends in this crowd. Chance was a changed man that night, the lack of sleep and concotion of drugs he was on had hom teetering dangerously with himself; from manic to berserk in a moments notice for seemingly nothing at all. If anything it would be an exciting night.

๑۩۞۩๑ Arcana was unfazed by the bright lights of the party as she entered in through the doors. There was a sense of awe that washed over her as she took int everything that adorned the hall. It was quite beautiful to say the least but it was too bad that things would soon turn for the worse. With her dear friend Obsidian in hand, the pair preceded into the grand ball room without a care for the world. She turned her gaze to Obsidian and as though they read each other's mind she smiled. Everything would be going quite well soon enough.
๑۞๑ Obsidian was quite content as he and Arcana found a spot off by a archway to occupy. Depending on how the night would transpire would determine the actions that needed to be done on behalf of Novum Fulgar. Perhaps this peace offering of sorts would in fact benefit everyone but they leadership from the cyber land was quite prepared for worst. "This is going to be one crazy night I must say" He stated to Arcana with smirk of his own. A waiter crossed by them with wine glasses and he took two of them up in his hands. He handed one to Arcana and begin to sip from his own.
♞ -K.A.I. is with Vulcan outside of the party-

[ Guys, I was having some problems with my laptop. I thought it was something I just messed up, but I've been dealing with a lot of freezing and overheating. Been doing my best to defrag, clean up malware, everything—it takes forever.
But it's doing better now. We'll see. I'm going to attempt to make a post and hope all goes well. ]

It had been all a blur—the excitement after getting her dress, shoes (after almost getting into an argument with one of the shop workers that she wanted flats, not heels), and a pretty silver necklace to go along with everything; the dressing up party, for it seemed like a party in and of itself as she, Moa, and Aiden all fumbled and chatted in coherently as they got dressed (Aiden helped her put on a lipstick and gloss; she had never worn make up before, and never thought to until that moment); then the going to the party. All of it, though it had taken a couple of hours, seemed like it happened in a flash, or so long ago that Layla could barely remember any of it.
Either way, it gave her a rush, and she was grinning happily as they made their way to the building. She was wise to keep close to Moa and Aiden, especially when they neared the entrance to the party and its security. The exchange of words was a bit flustering for Layla; she didn't have any time to respond, but trusted that Aiden knew what she was doing. But security was right—even she knew she couldn't pass for Vossler's daughter. They were only eleven years apart. They were more like siblings, but in that sense they looked eerily similar. But no luck.
It was then that she saw a familiar, and large, man pushed through the crowds and pass them by. Layla was ready to call out to Chance, but then noticed he was too busy moving the security aside, and then walking in without a glance in the girls' direction. Odd... he seemed a little off, but the girl was bit naive.
As time went on, and when they were finally let through by a woman named Lady Mairead, Layla felt the pain of fear (sadness of thinking they may not get through) in her chest subside, and she sighed quietly. She looked over her shoulder at Aiden and grinned. "You think we'll see the Lucidus Magus leader in there?" she asked. Layla had done some reading on her, Lady Aaren; apparently she didn't get out much for appearances due to a mysterious chronic weakness. However, the girl thought it unlikely that the lady would miss this party. It was too important. Maybe, just maybe, Lady Aaren would talk to her? And she could mention becoming a healer, and then talk to Vossler about it, too! Maybe....

Vossler stood chatting with nobles and buisnessmen on topics that he had no want to be on. Mostly thoughts on how peace would effect the allowed trade routes or any more that would open up. The bodyguards had switched out duty multiple times to confuse anyone watching. He was now with two at his side and the other two awaiting in the ever growing crowd.
Vossler always kept an eye on the entrance. When he finally viewed Aiden,Layla,and Moa make there way inside he gave sigh of relief. Walking over to the girls he had stop a few feet to take in every detail. Aiden hadn't changed much being as from what he knew of her she was able to pull off anything and god rest the soul who says she can't. What surprised him was the big appearence difference from Layla and Moa. Layla definantly looked better in Lucidus attire and Moa left him speechless.
Vossler finally closed the gap and gave the three girls a hug. Starting with Aiden to Layla. "Qu'avez-vous fait avec ma petite Layla? Je pouvais à peine la reconnaître." Vossler gave a little chuckle at the joke and turned to Moa. He gave her a bigger hug than the other two and when he pulled back he left and arm behind her to rest a hand on her opposite shoulder. "You look very nice Moa. Très belle."

Her neck spun around as she viewed the area of the ballroom, mainly letting her eyes flick back and forth around the maze of lifted candlelight and then down to trail one of several masked performers with attire of red and gold whom Aiden's attention became attached to. He framed his head with the box of his arms and turned the white of his mask onto the direction where Aiden stood as an obvious spectator. The performer then bowed upon acknowledgment with the tiniest curl of his neck and then like a statue who'd come to life, he turned his torso as if friction had fought his way right and then like a ballet dancer whose grace were possessed by a feather, he took a step forward and the red and gold of his attire was gone, lost to a gap in the mix of gowns and suits.
"Yeah. I do. Why?" Aiden finally said responding to Layla while yearning for the performer's presence in front of her eyes again. The man made no return and instead it was commander Vossler Stone who made an appearance, his steps authoritative, equal, and strait.
"Vossler, whatever you said, it's Princess Layla. Get it right. And YEA Moa looks good!" Aiden declared.
A quick tangent of her thoughts occurred and Aiden now wondered where'd Chance's cane had led him off and so quick too!

As Moa entered the ballroom with the girls she instantly fell speechless. She really didn't know what to say with the turn out. What could she say? However, the thing that got her to blush deep red was when Vossler came over and hugged each of them, but staid with her when he was done saying that she looked good. "Um... Thank you." she said looking at him with a shy smile.
She looked at him taking in what he looked like and her smile became even more shy. "You look really handsome as well, Vossler." her voice was clear as her cheeks deepened.

If it hadn't been for Vossler's sudden appearance and hug, Layla would've been spellbound by all the sights and sounds of the room. There was so much to take in, so many people. She had gotten used to crowds, sort of; they drained her energy pretty quickly and always ended up too exhausted to see the night through. She hoped that it wouldn't be that way this time around.
The girl wrapped her arms around Vossler and giggled softly at his French. She understood what he said, but didn't bother to respond. Layla was briefly tutored in French by someone back at Vossler's estate, but she wasn't very good at speaking it, just understanding simple conversation.
She then watched him hug Moa and the two converse a little before she looked at the crowd. Layla looked hard, trying to find some sign of the Lady Aaren, but couldn't be too sure; she had seen her face in a picture a couple of days ago, so the girl wasn't completely unsure of the leader's appearance, but there were so many people.
"Aiden?" She said and looked over at the young woman. "You wanna get something to drink with me? I'm thirsty." And secretly, a bit peckish. She wanted to looked around and see all of the room and people.

Aiden looked down at Layla. The surprised look on her face was of raised eyebrows and a tight smile. "Hey, you just read my mind." She put both hands on each of the girl's tiny shoulders. "Gosh, these great minds of ours, right? Let's go." She released Layla and hooked her right arm so that the girl might slip her own in. "Vossler, Moa*, ya'll don't get too hot and heavy."
