Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( Junk Shack / Junk Shack ))

Kyou was a little worried when Natsuki commented on his costume, because he was afraid that she might snap his suspenders like what he did just now! He narrowed his eyes a little when Natsuki reached for the suspenders, but thankfully she didn't snapped him. "Thank you. Your outfit is quite... sexy too." Kyou blushed a little as he couldn't find another word to describe Natsuki's Lara Croft outfit. Settling down his bag of candies, he reached over to get himself some fruit punch as well.

While Kyou is enjoying himself indoors, Lazarus is struggling with his costume outdoors in a deserted area of the house. He decided to come as a tribal warrior when he saw a huge red feathery mane for sale in the marketplace the other day, which turned out able to cover his horns just nice. But because it was so huge and heavy that it kept slipping. Kyou had given him a bag of hair pins to pin it in place, and Lazarus had been struggling with it for about half an hour now.

"There... is it okay now?" Lazarus mumbled to himself, tilting his head to one side to see if it slips. He had tied some rubber bands around his horns to secure the heavy mane as well. And it works! "Yes!!" Lazarus exclaimed excitedly. Picking up his spear that was leaning on the wall of the house, he proceeded into the party through the backyard. He was mostly topless, with tribal markings crawling up both his arms and creeping a little on his chest, and some on his face as well. A short grass skirt hung on his waist, with some of his ragged ribbon poking out from underneath. He went into the kitchen and saw that a lot of people and Raevans had arrived already.

((Entrance by Sevilin))

Don't laugh. Don't laugh. Don't laugh! Alex repeated the words in her mind as she eyed the doe-eyed dragon, the effort to keep her mirth inside reducing her smile into a tight smirk. Making sure the laughter wouldn't trickle out of her lips while trying to speak, she gave a flippant nod, extending her hands towards the Raevan to accept the book. Deft fingers flipped to a blank page, not paying too much mind to the other names in the book, if she could even read the scrawl; tapping a pristine page, she planted a kiss on the blank space, the gentle impression of a little lipstick and some gloss left on it. Satisfied, she wrote "Ada" as elegantly as she could, looping the words on the bottom edge of the lips. Dabbing a finger on the print, content it wouldn't smear, she snapped the book shut and handed it back to Sevilin. "There ya go, cutie. Take good care of that, hmm?"

It was only with those words that she remembered what had happened the last time she'd seen Sevilin...and that the Frei being here likely meant his none-too-happy-owner would be in the vicinity as well. The woman vaguely hoped her Ada-charm could hold for him as well, although she certainly wasn't going to hold her breath.

Roux's lips curved up in a childish smile, quickly flipping down into a distracted frown. Where -was- his Mitya anyway? He glanced around, reaching up to lightly touch his lips with his fingertips. "Mitya-also.. find." He turned away from both Mouse and Rivener, letting them have a conversation if they wanted, as he started his float through the Delaran home in search of his octopussy that Kyou had given to him.


Parfait gave an excited gasp as someone came over and proclaimed her as feirce. She promptly fluttered her wings and gave a tiny, rolling growl that was far from menecing. When he built a new town for her to destroy she promptly fluttered up into the air, backtracking a few paces.

She was even more wound-up as he watched her - she'd be sure to give him a good show. Parfait landed, going up on her hind feet. She took a deep breath and...

"Aaryaaa! Raaaah!" She began her treck through soon-to-be-destroyeds-ville. She lifted her head into the air and waved her front paws, clawing at the air, her jaws working open and closed as she imagined fire spurting from them like a real dragons. She stomped, tail swishing from side to side, knocking over buildings and cars and people. Obviously she was having the time of her life.

Once all lay in ruin and imaginary flame she plopped down, looking up with loving pink eyes at the person and chirruped.

Rivener smiled as the Horseman asked his name. Time to bring out the charm! He'd watched the movie often enough, he was so looking forward to playing the part. Rivener removed his hat with a wide flourish and bowed, just as he had to Roux. His smile was sultry, his eyes smoldering, his voice all honey and mysteriousness when he spoke.

"I am Rivener, and I am delighted to meet anyone who would bring happiness to Roux. He's told me about Mitya. That would make you... Mouse, yes?" Riv lifted his head slightly at the name, focusing his red gaze on the Mitya-head, since he had nothing else to look at.

When he straightened and placed the hat back with a grand flip of the brim, Riv grinned. That was quite fun! He was sure he put on an acceptable performance.

[[Edited for Ebony]]

Aphismet chuckled as Ebony reprimanded him for doubting her. When she started to prowl around him, he felt slightly less playful. Once she draped over him he felt downright uncomfortable.

He knew Ebony enjoyed testing people's personal space, and he never took offense to it... However, he wasn't in the mood to simply allow it. He softly reached up and tugged her arms off with his bandaged hands, saying in a playful voice to hide his discomfort: "I will thank you very much to keep the secret, then. Please, help yourself to any food or drink."

Now here was someone who knew how to do Halloween! Not only was his costume spot-on, but he was flawlessly in-character, too... good thing Rivener couldn't see how ridiculously Mouse was grinning right now. "That's right... nice to meet you, too. You're Eiry's 'brother', then? He and Isi mentioned you briefly when they showed up at my house one day," she ventures. "I can see why he's so fond of you."

And that meant the grumpy kami must have been Aphi, unless his presence in the room was a coincidence. Not knowing that said guardian wanted to stay hidden, she asked Rivener, "And the guy with the fluffy mask is Aphismet?"

Roux had vanished after saying something about his Mitya... the horseman decided not to pursue him. She was still half-focused on her pun sheet, anyhow.

((Entrance by Sevilin --> Doorway from Living Room to Dining Room))

Alex allowed a small grin to slip through, in fear of bursting into laughter at how adorable Sevilin was. The Raevan was enjoyable company, and she was momentarily sad to see him go; it gave her a good indication as to where We`rika was, however, and for the time being, she'd be certain to give that area a wide berth. Turning on her heels without so much as a stumble, she leaned against the doorway to the dining room and peeked in. "So that's where the party is," she murmured to no one in particular, preparing to turn around and check out a different part of the house. Dealing with people one on one was easy; dealing with a mob of party-goers was not something the young woman was very keen on.

Her plans were short lived as the most adorable growling and roaring reached her ears. The sound was sweet and familiar, prompting the woman to walk backwards a little and look back through the doorway. Keen eyes picked Parfait out of the gathered, her Ada-persona slipping away completely in a brief but heart-felt smile. She slowly turned to face the dining room again, back to the living room, leaning a bare shoulder upon the door frame as she watched the Gwee. The dragonette chirruped at someone who was undoubtably the source of her cute noises, warming her heart; there was no doubt in her mind that the pinkish little critter was well taken care of. She'd have to find Chloe tonight and tell her as much.

"Cutest Godzilla ever," she intoned in the same quiet voice, crossing her arms as she observed.

Parfait squirmed with glee as the buildings were set up again, this time she opted for a different approach. She came in from the 'sea'... a portion of table that had had blue construction paper draped over it. She lay on her belly, holding as still as she could even after the buildings had been reconstructed.

She waited...

...and waited...

...And finally 'rose' from the ocean with a tiny roar. She lumbered toward the bay and gave a gleeful scree as she attacked, decimating everything within sight again. In her zest she knocked a car from off the table and sent it bouncing to the floor.

Yes, Ebony truly was trying to be playful tonight instead of her strict, obsessive self, but it seemed she’d gone too far for the others liking. Although he sounded unoffended, there was a change in his statement than from the previous one. An underlying tinge of something suppressed, but she couldn’t really place it. ‘So that’s it…’ she thought silently as her eyes dropped away from his face. Reminded of who she normally was, Ebony did not mention it and forced the little bit of hurt she felt away from view. Honestly, she hadn’t thought she gotten as close to him as to feel hurt by such a tone, but suppose she’d let him in too far if it even had this little of an effect. Perhaps it wasn’t wise to be spending so much time with him. So she took what he said to be an invitation to leave him alone. ”…yes, all right…thank you…”
