(Lux/Shadow)
Lasi looked from one to the other.
So, he couldn't see the blush occurring across the male's face, the films he'd seen dictated it had to be there.
The pat from Luxury got a happy little grunt and a grin.
The revelation that they were 'just friends', however, got a little bit of a blink, another look between them...
And then a 'knowing' wink... Just friends was -exactly- the response he should have been expecting! Humans were funny like that.
As Shadow complimented and then suggested he might have a girlfriend himself, Lasi tilted slightly to the side as if in thought. Hm. No. And he'd never really looked. He shook himself, beamed at the pair, before tapping the candle gently with a wing and winking once more.
"Guh." He stated, happily, before fluttering into the air. Time to leave them to their own devices.
Hm.
So, the challenge was completed and he'd been 'helpful'. He started to flutter back toward Tambrey, proud of himself.

(Izaya, Faleen)
Shizuo just glared at the information broker at the comment of being careful of his clothes. He hadn't had his glasses on since he had changed so his eyes were in clear view with nothing to hide them but a few stray hairs here and there. "Don't try to turn this around. What. Are. You. Doing. Here." if Shizuo had grabbed Izaya's cape his words would have been punctuated by a shake each word, but as it is he just tightened his grip and tugged him closer. He wasn't worried about the Flea's switch blade right now so distance wasn't needed.
"And for your information Izaya-kun," Mouth twisted in a snarl. "I'm here to protect my room mate and her friends from people like you. The only one in danger right now is you."

"My, what pretty eyes you have," the superhero complimented, trying not to choke as the strings around his neck tightened with Shizuo's grip. "Too bad they're so blind they can't see for themselves what I'm doing here. Isn't it obvious? I'm enjoying the party. Or, at least, I was trying until I got man-handled by some zombie with mush for brains..."
Ugh, why did he have to be this close? This man, whom he hated more than anything else in the world with every fiber of his being. If he didn't let him go soon, Izaya considered pulling off his cape and whipping it over Shizuo's head, maybe to suffocate him. At least it might impair his senses long enough to let the grunt escape.
While he was contemplating this, though, something the neanderthal had uttered caused Orihara's lips to part slightly in shock. "Did you say...'roommate'...? ...'her'?" Oh, Arceus. Arceus, this was too much. The hero erupted into fits of laughter, choking on his meager air supply. "Shizu-chan has a female roommate?!" he cried aloud, loud enough for everyone in the near vicinity to hear.
"And she has 'friends'? What is this?! Shizu-chan finally managed to find a way to cure his sexual repression? No wonder you've been so much harder to rile up lately. And here I'd thought you were actually learning to be mature, or taking therapy that was actually working!" He couldn't stop laughing. Tears were literally leaking out the corner of his eyes, even as he fought for breath.
"Friends with benefits...I can only imagine how many you must be in touch with, considering your past job as a debt-collector for a dating site. Tell me, Shizu-chan..." A wicked grin and a lowered voice. "How many did you put in the hospital? You must need a lot with how fast you probably go through them. It's amazing there are girls still alive who are interested in you."

(Izaya, Shizou)
And there it was, some trainer had laid their hands on a fellow Rocket, it didn't need to be her partner for this situation to not be okay.
"Get over there Umbreon, watch, but make sure it doesn't escalate."
The dark type replied without a sound, streamlining his body as he slipped seamlessly onto the floor, easily dodging legs and using people to duck behind as he got closer toward the two men. His lips curling back as he hunkered low out of sight, his red eyes wide, ears pressed back.
Faleen remembered Izaya saying that he dealt with this person for a long time, so if he knew a way of getting out of this situation, as was apparent when Izaya slipped a move of his own and had his cape around the other man's head she wasn't going to interfere, but she was being careful to place her and her resource in a position to keep the situation from escalating. They did not need more attention drawn to them then was necessary.
But party was officially over.
"Looks like we might have a slight issue" She said to Claire. reaching out to pluck her cane up, making the rocket next to her aware of what seemed to be happening.
(Izumi)
Jerome hummed softly in acknowledgment. "Yeah he does that." Jerome replied to Izumi, glancing off after Izaya, but looked back to her a moment later, she seemed to be watching something.

"Oh! Come on, Jerome!" Izumi said happily and started to wander off towards Izaya and Shizuo, "Lets introduce our friends!"
----
Izumi walked up to Izaya and Shizuo with a smile on her face. "Shizuo!" The blue haired girl may have been slightly intoxicated, "Oh--" Izumi paused and looked at Shizuo grabbing Izaya's shirt. Luckily she was not one to jump to conclusions. "Do you know Izaya?"

"Alright" Jerome replied to her, following the much more perky, and lightly dressed women with his own dark and mellow posture, following her around like he would pretty much follow her anywhere she wanted to go.
She had said something about introducing friends, more friends huh?
Whatever,
When he looked up though, and saw two people he knew, but didn't know had connection, he raised an eyebrows. Specifically when he saw the expressions and body language of the two.
He raised an eyebrow, unlike Izumi, he was able to recognize that those two looked like they were about to get into a fight.
"Hey." Jerome said, his deep voice giving him presence, but keeping the tone calm. "Tux, Furs, S'up."
this was a much different 'S'up' then the more casual greeting he had given earlier, this one was more to draw attention, and politely imply the question 'the ******** is going on?'
Not only that, but Jerome was also wondering the same thing. did those two somehow know one another?

(Izaya, Faleen, Jerome, Izumi)
Shizuo twitched slightly when Izaya called his eyes pretty. Thankfully, or not, he was distracted from that by the rest. "You're version of having fun puts people in danger Flea."
......He should have never had mentioned Izumi. Shizuo's temper went up with each word and laugh that the informant let out. How dare he speak of Izumi that way? He was angry enough when the Louse talked about him in that context but add in Izumi like she was some kind of loose girl? One of Shizuo's few friends? Izaya was as good as dead already.
Shizuo had just balled up the fist at his side and was starting to bring it up to punch the little b*****d when he heard said friend speak. He paused an his right eyebrow started to twitch from just barely reigning in his anger in her presence. That Jerome chimed in right after her didn't help or hinder his attempts to not murder Izaya where he stood.

"Ahahaha, not necessarily," the informant snickered. "I only help them along...offer insightful suggestions and little pushes. If they end up getting hurt or worse, that's their own fault. You don't have the same excuse, though, do you? You can't even keep the people you care about safe." Crimson eyes narrowed as the grin widened, filled with hate and utter loathing. There was no person he wanted dead more than Shizuo Heiwajima. Yet, the monster seemed one of the most impossible people to kill. So all Izaya could settle for was making him really, really angry and hoping he was stupid enough to let his rage get the best of him as usual.
This usually caused Shizuo to make a mistake which, in turn, allowed Izaya a way out before any permanent damage was inflicted. That was how he typically survived such life-threatening encounters like these without his switchblade or pokemon, at least. It was like playing with fire; there was no guarantee one would come out unscathed.
Of course, Izaya had absolutely no idea that they had been referring to Izumi, nor that either Izumi nor Jerome knew Shizuo. Therefore when the couple came up to interfere in the impending fight, the informant was stunned for a minute. If he wasn't careful, he thought he might pass out from the lack of oxygen going to his brain with the bodyguard still holding him by the strings around his neck.
"I-izumi-chan," he laughed weakly, "Jerry-kun! Hello," he said, waving a hand as best he could. "This man is strangling me to death, holding me like this. That is, if I don't die of the close proximity of his bad breath first," he added, waving a hand in front of his face. "Phew...mind getting me down from here, please?"

(anyone)
Charlotte had completely lost track of her friends when she had went dancing into the crowd. In the mood for some people watching she snagged a cup of punch of the table and went waltzing around the room watching the many people in costumes which varied from pleasant, to laugh at loud hilarious. The night was getting older but she felt as young as ever and wasn't nearly ready to go even if she had no one to talk to at the moment. Once again she wished she had brought Draco along, he loved parties, or really people that would give him attention.

"What are you doing, Shizuo?" Izumi looked at her room mate curiously, and giggled sweetly, "Pf- Izaya, Shizuo doesn't smell. He's very tidy."

"You say that from down there, Izumi-chan, but he's not the one breathing down your face. I can smell the alcohol on him," the hero announced in disgust. "Speaking of alcohol...Jerry-kun, have you been spiking your date's drink? She seems to be getting a little tipsy." With a meaningful look and an nod in Izumi's direction, the informer hoped Jerome would get the message.
Get her out of her if you don't want her involved and leave this to me. I can deal with it.

Jerome got it, and for a moment he glanced from Shizou to Izaya with a frown tugging at his lips.
What the hell was going on, apparently these guys were not on good terms.
If Izumi had not been here, he would have probably questioned what was going on, but sometimes, Izumi just didn't need to know certain things... at least Jerome didn't want her to know certain things. especially with those two looked as if they were about to kill each other.
"Yeah, well, someone spiked the punch, I'm thinking it was Bro." He shrugged at Izaya's comment then reached out to put a hand on Izumi's shoulder. "Hey Ink, think maybe we shouldn't interrupt them right now. Lets go fine one of yer other friends, that pink one looks like she could use some cheerin' up."
He cast a look over to Izaya from under his hood, the color of his iris a little easier to make out behind the wolf mask then the rest of his features, strands of dreadlocks falling from his shoulder to dandle by a soft frown. If his roommate was so sure about this, then whatever, Jerome could respect that.
"We'll be over here." He told the other Rocket
If you can't deal, I'm over there.
Jerome had seen what Shizou was like when he was mad, he hoped Izaya really knew what he was doing.
Jerome glanced over to Shizou, stepping to the side as he shifted to lead Izumi away.
"Keep it cool man." He said. the implication was clear, though he kept it pretty casual. Jerome was already not happy about the fact that Izumi had been at the punch bowl alone, and with people he knew were Rockets. He didn't need this whole thing going and upsetting Izumi, so he was just going to play it safe and get her as far away as possible, she's been exposed to enough violence already.
"C'mon Izumi."

Luxury laughed at the Golbat, for he clearly still thought they were sweet on each other. That was ok, it made him happy and think he was being quite helpful. Which, he was, the girl noted as she took a swig of coke. Ah, refreshing!
At Shadow's words, she bit her lip and gave him a skeptical look. "Memory loss is serious. That doctor you went to is mucho loco if you ask me. I've had..." She frowned. There was the time she hit the ramp, the time she tried a half pipe for the first time, and a nasty spill on the concrete in which she left most of her skin behind her. Ouch. "Three. I skateboard." She nodded. "As far as work... Yeeeeah, it's not the best of what society has to offer, but its a living and it keeps me in the loop." Pfft, let the robot figure that one out.
Sighing, she took another drink, stood up, walked over to Shadow, and demanded nicely that he remove his helmet. "Let me look at your eyes, I can tell you in three seconds if it's a concussion or the act of a pokemon."

It....really took a lot to simply let go of Izaya, it truly did. He wanted to pound the damnable Flea's face in but held his self in check since Izumi was there. As it was, before he let Izaya go he shoved him back a bit then let god of him. "Don't worry about it Izumi." he managed out and crossed his arms, still glaring at Izaya. His body language screamed that just because he was containing his self for now, just about anything could and most likely would, set him off like a volcano. He didn't even look back at Jerome and Izumi, not wanting to take his eyes off him enemy least the Flea did something like run away or attack.
