Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sign danny up please!!

This time, at least, Elliot had come out to experience the bonfire of his own accord. While his parents had had to force him into playing games and join the parade, this event actually sounded like something that suited him. A warm fire and stories to listen to and tell? Count him in. It definitely beat lingering in noisy crowds of screaming people--he appreciated being able to hear the steady crackling of the fire. Looking more content that he had for a while, the teen settled down on one of the lots.

Except it seemed as if not everyone was quite as keen as he was to stick around. To be frank, he wasn't at all surprised to see Shun get up and try to leave, but that didn't stop him from calling out to the other man anyways, elbow propped up on his knee and chin in his hand.

"You stuck though the chaotic parade, but you're trying to leave now?"

Alec was pretty sure this would easily end up being his favorite event of all the things he'd participated in thus far. What possibly could go wrong during storytelling? He'd had enough drama, and chaos..a nice evening around a fire actually sounded comforting. Alec wasn't so sure about his storytelling prowess, but getting a chance to hear a verbally told story from those who had gathered sounded rather promising. As he'd aged, things like that happened less and less so secretly he relished the chance.Settling himself down on a log after being guided by the fire Alec squirmed some. While not as comfortable as some seats, he gazed around noting who was here already. The red head wore a small smile, although his eyes flickered from the small gathering to those trying to abscond, (some more discretely than others).

Tilting his head almost k-9 like, he watched on wondering why they were so quick to leave. It couldn't be that bad sitting around, even if some of them were strangers..at least he figured as much. They'd all worked together as a team, what was a little friendly banter...if that guy stopped shouting. Cringing he peered over at the bald man wondering how he'd take to people trying to flee the scene.

Sheesh. He seemed pretty serious, what was his problem anyway? Alec found himself wondering, namely as to why he was so grumpy. Crossing the bald man seemed like a horrible idea. So for now, Alec sat in place.

Nikolaus Windsor would like to attend this most auspicious event!
Quest Character: x

She was finally free, well for the night anyway, from the watchful eye of the woman who was paid handsomely by her father to make sure that his prized daughter would not have any faults in her virtue. It was completely ludicrous that he would go to such lengths but yet would not even talk to his daughter in person. It was because of him that she had missed the celebration; she could hear the sound from the inn at which she stayed, her heart constantly yearning to be free of the wooden walls and to be a part of the festivities, but according to her father via her governess, it was no place for a lady. The noble lady’s constant pleas went unheard, until the very last day. Somehow Nox, the old woman, had convinced Lord Eden that it would be in Miss Sirantha’s best interest to visit the festivities. Sirantha did not know what words Nox used to convince her father, but she was thankful for the old woman.

Sirantha Eden walked, and slightly skipped, toward the bonfire area. Her excitement could not be contained, and the words of the bald man only added kindling to the bonfire that was growing in her heart. She had only heard a few scary stories before, whispered on dark stormy nights near the small flickering glow of a candle, and as the story grew more horrific, the candle would burn out and thunder would boom outside. Her tiny heart would pound and exhilaration would fill her veins; the night would continue as each told their own ghost story. Many of the young children would cry and run back to their mothers, but Sirantha stayed where she was within the circle of young, until an adult told them to go to bed. This night was like all those nights before, except this time no adult will interrupt the tales and tell them it was their bed time.

She sat in front of the fire; the flickering was soothing as it danced. A few people tried to leave the grounds and she shook her head, it was their loss. Others called greetings out to people they knew and for a few short moments she felt alone, but she shook it off. She was here for the ghost stories, not to make friends.

Shun paused for just the moment as he heard Elliot, shrugging at the boy.

"I have better things I could be doing than this s**t," he muttered before turning, only to find Mr. Clean Baldy standing right there in front of him. His eyes narrowed as the man patted him on the shoulder, shifting away. Before he could actually step around the guy, he found himself being grabbed and dragged by the head. Instinctively, he fought against it by attempting to strike the man wherever he could reach. It wasn't easy, given his current position.

And either way he was now back on the log he had just been on. His expression hadn't changed that much, but it probably wasn't hard to tell that he was incredibly unhappy.

"Oh for ******** sake."

As Cyril was just heading out he heard loud footsteps coming his way. In the dark he couldn't actually analyze it although suddenly Casually just leaving however did not escape someone else's glowering eyes. He rushed at the boy with full speed and gave him the the most painful headbutt of his life. Usually no one wins a head but this guy had a friggin head of steel or something. The boy hit the ground hard holding his head while the bald guy was standing up perfectly fine.

At a moments notice Cyril was dragged by his head. He was already hurting so that wasn't really helping. When he was put into the group all he said was "Jeez not cool..." as he looked up at the two brothers giving each other hi-5s. "a*****e..." he said under his breath referring the bald twin. As he was on the ground he heard Alec. as he was still holding his head in pain.
