Welcome to Gaia! ::

This mission would possibly be unnerving, but they could handle it.... Right?

Cal had told herself over and over again. This was just a party. You are to mingle and get close to targets. She was to be proper, elegant, beautiful. Just plain lady like, like they had rehearsed. That's what all those hours of ball room dancing and review of fine dining were. She was ready, and the young gentleman at her side was ready as well. Defiantly giving her a boost in courage.

Cal stood with her escort, her aqua blue strapless dress matching his tie. The dress hugged her curves like a dream- elegant, and beautiful, it magnified her overall presentation. Her lips were adorned with a dash of color, eyes sparkled with the light of the party. Her hair curled in wavy layers, framing her face delicately. The simple diamond necklace, a "gift from her dear old mom and dad, matched her stud earrings and reflected with dazzling colors as the beads on her dress did. It tapered off and slit at the thigh, reviling a slender leg and equally stunning heels.

She batted her lashes gently, looking over her party. Shade floated in in his own get up, looking as spiffy as his trainer. Speaking of the trainer, Panther had cleaned up very nicely. Blossom, her choice pokemon, emitted a vibrant fragrance. She was the best choice for this mission. Not too memorable, but able to give a good impression. The little Ivysaur had been versed in the goings on and she was to be polite, as always, and sociable. Atop her head sat a small black hat, green with foliage and red with a single rose.

Cal smiled to Panther as they entered. Tonight she was confident and sociable Tiffany Brooks. "That's right sweetie." And Panther was to be called Kato, she couldn't forget that. She would have to put her dancing skills to the test.

At the woman's approach, Liam's face instantly broke out in the widest smile he could muster. (Pfeffa's did much the same, but at the sight of the lavish jewels, not for show.) He was surprised to be 'approached' (it was something more akin to being leapt upon by a hungry lioness, in his opinion) so soon, mere moments after breaching the threshold. He remembered Aila telling him that it was polite for the man to introduce himself first (not that he could figure out why. He'd sooner Aila do all the talking, but he had to be presentable), so he did just that.
"Good evening ma'am!" he said, bowing slightly, careful not to tip the well groomed Jigglypuff from his head. She took this opportunity to give a bow of her own, waving his cap as if it were a traditional Japanese fan. "Yes, it is my first time at this particular event. My parents gush over it every year and I simply had to take this opportunity to see it for myself. I must say, I am not disappointed." His smile never faltered and his gaze never moved from her face. "This whole event is almost as ravishing as yourself."

Ugh.

Sure, it might have just been act, but Sorano clearly enjoyed having a woman about his hand. He reddened, only slightly, but shook his head to disperse the blood elsewhere.

His sudden love-drunk state was shattered with he turned to the ho-ho-hoing to the distance. Was that Snorta? Unfortunately, twas not. Just some boisterous man wanting to brag, brag, brag about his loving well, whatever he owned. Turning his gaze back to Faleen, he nicked his chin to the side.

"Shall we wanda than?" he chuckled.

Whinny stiffened up when she was addressed, feeling herself a little scorned by the Umbreon's tonality. "" she tried to reason. ""

Aila, playing the role of the proper lady, waited until Liam had spoken to voice her own response. "Yes, ma'am," she said in turn, a curtsy and a modest smile accenting the words. "Matthias was so excited to attend this evening that I simply could not allow him to leave me behind." She listened as Liam flattered the woman; a fine tactic, and he was performing well in his role. She made an inward note of approval.

Revenant was taken aback by the boisterous woman but made no outward sign of it, sighing a quiet "dreeeaa." The condition that she be praised and pampered all evening without exception was that she be polite and well-behaved at all times, and while she was a bit off-put by the fact that the human didn't trust her enough to bring her along without conditions, she obeyed nonetheless.

A quiet-looking young woman in a demure blue gown hovered near the drinks table, fingering the stem of her champagne glass while a Ninetails sat stoically by her side, attention turned rather wistfully to the dance floor.

They say Pokemon resemble their owners. The heavyset man conversing with other middle-aged guests at one of the side tables bore a striking resemblance to his Granbull, which surveyed the place with stubby arms crossed.

For Liam and Aila:

"Oh! Goodness," the woman trilled, giving Liam a coquettish tap on the shoulder that would nearly send him reeling. "Don't say things like that in front of your young lady. I'm Isadora. Where are you two from?" She straightened up - a rather impressive sight - and turned an eye on Revenant at the soft sound, studying her with dark little eyes.

Faleen placed the untouched champagne glass down on the nearest vacant table to them, letting her arm fall back next to her, while the other stayed on Sorano's arm, to let him lead the way properly.
"Lets go get acquainted with the other guests." she agreed with a courteous nod to the Agent, before hazel eyes returned to the floor.

Goodness this felt like it was going to be a long night. they usually were, talking and meeting people, having to fake interest in the most mundane things they would talk about, and never once did any of them care to talk about Robotics, she didn't care for this kind of event, but regardless, with the other she was going to do the best she could.

He stood next to Faleen, ready to move when she did.

Sweety, he liked that. A faint blush snuck across his cheeks. She had grown some since they first met, he shoved the thought away. He was not going to get involved in anyone since his last almost relationship got blowing out of the water.

Offering Agent Cal his arm, he lead her closer to the dance floor, to linger there and chat with the group that hang close to there. Perhaps they could find a pokemon to steal and he could steal a dance with her. They did have a little time to find targets. He spotted Seth's Luxray in the crowed fallowing Seth and Nadja. He made a note of where they were.

Shade floated after his trainer looking looking proper and very well behaved. He grinned politely at the other guests.
