RP Response: Adalina watched as the fog began to rise clutching tightly to Alberts' arm. "Al... d-do you see that?" Quickly the smoke began to grow thicker and thicker. The thicker the smoke became the tighter she clutched her husband's arm. "Albert, I'm so scared" she breathed. Suddenly it became harder for her to hold his arm like he was being pulled away. "AL DON'T leave me" she cried out her arms flailing in front of her catching nothing but fog.

Just like it had came the fog dissipated and she looked around the room. "Al? Albert?" her voice began to reach frantic levels. "He would never leave me. What was that?" She looked around to the others that looked as shocked as her. "I have to find him.. ALBERT" she called exiting the room. "Al where are you?" she began to call down empty hallways. Her vision turning tunnel like and her head began to pound. "AL!" and just like that her vision went black.

She had only fainted for what could have been a few seconds, the old lady clutched her chest as her heart throbbed and she sat up looking around her surroundings. Still no Albert, she had heard screams, were they his? Tears welled up in her eyes as she sat on the ground muttering to herself. "Albert, my sweet sweet Albert where are you? Where have you..."

Having enough of a good time just snooping around, and maybe seeing if he could pocket something, Viper was briefly interrupted by the sudden appearance of fog. Standing upright from bending to look into a deep decorative vase on the ground, his eyes slid around him, body keeping perfectly still as he felt contact here and there. Man, what a production!

While most would be scared, he was enthralled. Slinky tail whipped about with intrigue as the fog began to dissipate, and the lights calmed. And it didn't take long for him to notice the lack of guests that were once there before. With a smirk on his pretty face, Viper waltz'd around to peer behind furniture, crevices, and corners in hopes of finding out the secret to this lovely illusion attempting to instill fear.



{ Viper is open to interaction. Just quote me if you'd like to rp with him. }

RP Response: Anaiise had to stifle a giggle when she watched Fenris' hair fell over and into his face as he tried to bow, a scene that was both adorable and humorous given their surroundings. Her ears had perked up to him when he was about to ask her something, both of them interrupted by the hybrid that had come to compliment her on her dress. She wanted to be polite to the lovely lady but she wasn't going to forget that Fenris had wanted to ask her something, mentally reminding herself to bring it up later. The grimm's comment about the both of them was far too flattering, Anaiise bringing up a hand to her cheek so she didn't blush more than she already was from the undeserved praise. "Fen, don't be silly; you're a fine looking gentleman whether you're in a suit or your regular clothes. You have your own looks that you pull off just fine." Fenris was a good looking male by many rights, Nine forbid that he would get a complex from attending this party and having his self-esteem knocked down without warrant.

She was about to ask the hybrid her name when the fog suddenly filled the room, shrieks and shouts of fear and shock starting to fill the air. Anaiise found Fenris' arm and tightly gripped the cuff of his sleeve, not wanting to lose track of him amidst the chaos and to reassure herself that she wasn't alone. When it cleared, not only was the woman who joined the conversation gone....but so were a good many others! "What in blue blazes...?" She said quietly, her country drawl a little more pronounced in her confusion. Fenris was still there, thank goodness, but it looked like others who had lost their company were getting worried...particularly the older woman who was shouting her companion's name in hysterics. She looked and sounded completely panicked, which had the neko worried. "I'll be right back, Fen. I'm gonna make sure she's ok." Anaiise looked to the grimm with a concerned expression before she went after the older kirin. She managed to catch up to her just as it seemed the woman collapsed, Anaiise picking up her skirt and rushing to her side as she was coming to. "Ma'am? Are you alright? Are you hurt at all?" She knelt beside her and gently placed a hand on her shoulder, looking at her face with worry. She could hear her muttering about her companion, wondering if she was in shock; poor thing. Anaiise reached into the thin belt around the waist of her dress and pulled out a handkerchief, handing it to the woman with a warm smile as she spoke with her soft drawl. "Don't worry, ma'am, I'm sure he's alright. He might have gotten lost in the fog and ended up in another room." She hoped she could help comfort her a little. So many people had just disappeared in the fog, which was definitely concerning her....but now she was concerned both about the poor woman and if something else like that was going to happen again. They should get back to Fen and the others and try to calm everyone down so they could figure out what had happened.

RP Response: Autymn snorted. "Why not? Free food," she said and grinned. She could tell that Wynter was eyeing the pretty ladies and who could blame her? There were definitely some tasty morsels here tonight...and she was not referencing the actual food.

The fog began to roll across the floor and Autymn narrowed her eyes before reaching for Wynter. She didn't want to lose her in whatever this freak indoor fog was. The shrieking made her ears lay back, snarling as she tried to see what was going on.

When it dissipated, Autymn frowned. "What the hell happened?" she asked Wynter. "You wanna look around some?"

RP Response: When the fountain began to belch fog, Rook quickly shuffled backward, dark sclera visible around lighter irises as his eyes widened. He stumbled over to the closest wall, heart racing at the sounds echoing around the room and the voice that seemed to pierce his chest. What was this place?

He blinked as the fog cleared, noticing almost immediately that there were fewer people here than before. There were no real signs that anything was amiss, but the sluagh wasn't having any of it. He moved beyond the parlour, calling out for assistance.

"Hello! Somebody let us out!"

RP Response: Zazie's ears perked up as the fog rolled into the room, finding it both odd and quite fascinating. She would have left it at that if not for the missing people after the fog cleared. There was certainly some game afoot now. Or she was being pranked, who knew for this season.

Among the remaining guests, she spotted a grimm with exceptional hair that she sorta wanted to touch. Making her way over to the boy, she decided against simply touching it and tried making conversation instead.

"Hey there, what stylist do you use?" Except that when it came to conversation, she wasn't really great with anything not science...

RP Response:

He was going to respond. He was going to suggest that everyone move on.

Was.

Once the fog appeared, Fenris felt his heart drop to his stomach, and he looked around frantically for not only Anaiise, but the rest of the guests as well. It was absolute chaos for the next few moments, and it was going to remain so until everyone was let out.

"Ah..." He followed Anaiise over to the elder woman who seemed to have just collapsed. Although Anaiise seemed to have the situation handled, Fenris found himself suddenly clapping his clawed hands over his ears. The other Grimm in the room seemed to be just as distraught as the lady that'd passed out, and both seemed to be competing for 'loudest reaction'.

"Ah, I wouldn't be so loud. It might draw the attention to you next time." He quipped, mostly in jest, and was about to continue attempting to lighten the mood....despite the sudden disappearances, when someone who was apparently fairly unfazed asked...about his hair?

"Oh- Um. Myself, really. It's...mostly natural?" He responded, a little more than confused now.

However, with the mounting panic around him, Fenris decided to take a note out of the bakeneko's book and remain calm.
