Amirynth  Malis hummed as she came in, the beat of the music in time with the stomps of her feet. It had been a good day and she had managed to catch quite a meal. It was skinned and dressed and was stored with some herbs for the grand feast she was working on. Now if only she could find some dragons... Looking around she realized there were more people here than last time. With a toothy grin she glanced around for an unsuspecting audio or other to pounce. Ashuu Dahlia scooted past the door as it was opened, stopping mid step to see all the people around. "...weh?" her spotted tail puffed up, as she caught all the new and lovely sents of other audios, her ears flicking back and froth as she watched all and then spotted the Troll audio, slowly skittering over to her and blinking her green-blue eyes. " Are there always this many people here?" Amirynth "Malis hope not... many audio together make loud. it be hard to hunt if ear became deafened t' noise." The troll wandered over to the wall and placed her axe in a safe place, she would get it when she decided to leave. "So what bring ya t' see t' awsome Malis-troll?" She peered at the spotted audio " 'cause ya don't look like much of a fighter... mebby ya a shaman?" Ashuu Dahlia looked at Malis smiling just a bit before she found some where to perch apon her tail swishing behind her. "you seem like a friendly person to talk to, shaman?" raising one eye brow she smiled showing her feline fangs. "I'm a hunter in some ways I guess, I only fight when I need to." she shurgged and smiled "I'm dahlia, you're name is?" she as much as she wanted to run up walls and act crazy learned to be polite at a young age and always ask new people she was talking to their names. Amirynth "Malis is Malis. Malis says Hi to De-li-la." The troll nodded with a grin, showing of her one tusk. "Malis is troll from Ogrimmar, though Ah hail from WillowGlen and now Ah live at Im-o-jen's place. Im-o-jen is nice but she sings a lot." She seemed to recite that little speech from memory as if someone had taught her what to say in times like these. Of course it wasn't to last and Malis brightened. "Malis is making big feats, lot of many beast and green things. Malis hopes to catch dragon for centerpiece..." Ashuu Dahlia tilted her head to the side, one earphone slipping down to which she pushed back up. "Feast?" she grinned, eyes going wide with curiosity being she never went to a big feast, just normall dinners with her owner. "sounds awsome.." she blinked again, tail twitching wile her ears swived and faced MAlis. "Dragon? is it any good?" she hopped down from her spot and moved closer to the troll Audio. "now i'm getting hungry." Amirynth "Dragon is most delishious!" Malis rubbed her tummy and licked her chops. "Dragon meat can be made into anything, Malis especially likes dragon egg omlet with fairywings for dessert." Bending over until she was close to the little audio's ear her voice lowered conspiritorally, "Fairywings taste like candyfloss!" The troll grinned again and then streightened up, her ears cocking to hear a distance voice. "Ah no... t' lizard escaped!" She looked a little concerned. Ashuu "Candy floss?" staring up at the Troll audio she blinked and then opened her mouth to ask what was candy floss let alone why would faries taste good. "lizzard?"

RavenFyre "Errr..." Haze stares at Pip, not sure what to make of him, either. MalisDelnaria Pip: Well hello heart And who might you fine fellow be?
Hmm... maybe Pip wasn't a good choice *face/palms* RavenFyre Haze: ... *he flushes the barest of pinks at the kiss to his hand, but manages to look put off anyways, yanking his hand back as if burned* Are you kidding me with this? *looks away in a huff* MalisDelnaria Pip: "I don't kid, Love. This is just Pip through and through." He chuckles lightly and winks before gesturing with a paw. "I find it easier to tell the truth all the time... it keeps the fibs from getting twisted around each other." RavenFyre Haze: Don't call me 'Love,' I don't even know you. *his blush only darkened* Kidding and lying aren't the same thing, you know. MalisDelnaria Pip: "Would you prefer Poppet?" The pnada chuckles again and his hand ran through the long hair at the back of his neck. "And as for the 'not even knowing you' It can be easily fixed with a little conversation." Sinking down to the floor, he made himself comfortable. "Not that I don't enjoy watching your beautiful features." RavenFyre Haze: *he gave him a hard look* ... No... *he sighed as he watched the other get comfortable* You're not going to leave me alone, are you? *not that he was sure that he wanted to be alone. He blushed crimson* W-what?? I... Don't say weird things like that! I'm not beautiful! *he looked positively scandalized* MalisDelnaria "Well if you reaaaaaly want to be left alone..." Pip made a sad, heartbreaking puppy face before it contorted into a trixters grin. "Darn... I could never keep that look streight." Leaning back slightly he tilted his head to the side. "You are beautiful, got that... exotic look to ya. Believe me, I should know." He put a scholarly expression on his face. "I'm an artist!" RavenFyre The lynx audio actually believed that heart-broken look on his face, guilt rising in him, which was quickly replaced by anger when when it faded to a grin, "Y-you... You're a jerk!"
He blushed darker, shaking his head, "Stop saying those weird things!" But his interest was piqued all the same, glancing back at him, "An artist..? What kind..?" MalisDelnaria "I am most sorry. I happen to like playing but sometimes I forget that people who are not used to me..." He left it hang for a moment hoping that the other would understand before changing the subject. "I am an artist of the pencil." His eyes lit up as he lighted onto his favorite subject. "Sketching and such is my field but sometimes I like to paint... though it get's rather messy." He stuck out his tounge and made a face as he rose his arms showing how inconveniant it was to get rainbow paint on hie otherwise pale white fur. RavenFyre "... Will think you're a jerk..?" Haze finished for him, now in a bad mood since he had fallen for that sad puppy look. But he was interested when he talked about his drawings, "I like drawing a little myself sometimes, too... But I like to write short stories, better." He spoke softly, surprised that he was actually telling this guy anything about himself. MalisDelnaria Pip could sense the other's change of feeling and wanted to make things right again. "Here, let me show you." He always kept a small sketch book with him and was thankful this was so at this moment. Tounge sticking partially out he reguarded the other audio with a sharp eye before bending close to the paper. After a few minutes he turned it around, there wasn't too much detail but the sketchy lines showed the spotted audio sitting down, a slight smile playing across his face. He had added in a qill pen as he heard the other add that he liked to write. "If you want I could finish this and give it to ya when we're done chatting." RavenFyre Haze watched him curiously as he pulled out a sketch book and doodled down on it, gasping when he saw the quick sketch of himself, flushing pink, "Ah... W-wow... T-that's really amazing!" He said in clear astonishment despite himself, blushing darker when he realized his slip of emotion, "Ah! I mean... that's pretty good.." He sighed softly, but nodded with just a touch of a smile, "I guess it couldn't hurt..." MalisDelnaria "Awsome" Pip smiled again then bent to work on the sketch some more. As they chatted he would add more personality to the sketch, showing things liked and such if he found them out. "I tried writing once, a poem, it didn't come out too well..." He paused and studied the audio once more before his hand moved across the paper again. "My sis loves to read though. She always has her nose deep in a book." Pip chuckled lightly. RavenFyre "I don't think I can write poetry at all. I mostly stick to short stories. RavenFyre told me that I have a jadded view on the world for what I write my stories about, but it's just what comes to me, really." He couldn't help but look away with a pink hue to his cheeks when Pip stopped his drawing to study him. "I'd like to read more stories, maybe get a few ideas and improve my writing style, but I never know what to look for." He tried to inconspicuously look at the drawing so far, "So what type of stories do you like to read?"

MalisDelnaria "I don't read too much really. My mind is more a picture book type." He looked up chuckleing lightly before gazing off into the middle of the room for a moment. "If I had to pick a group of stories, I guess Sci-fi would be one genra I like, that and history novels. There is just something about human nature that is reflected in everything" He turned to regard the linx with a light smile noting the audio was trying to catch a glimps. "I'd love to read some of yours if you would let me." RavenFyre "A picture book..?" Haze didn't know if he should laught at that, or actually feel a little bit of pity, but he assumed for an artist that a picture book was a good way to see life. "I like history novels, too. Biography and memoirs. They're like seeing into a person's life during a time period. it gives you a more personal feel about how some people lived in a certain time." he blushed and looked away when Pip caught him trying to look, shaking his head, "N-no... I don't like anyone really reading my stories. They're too... personal.." MalisDelnaria "Exactly, It's like a window into the time that they lived in. Sometimes I like to draw what I see in my mind when I read those books. History has had so many odd things happen that it's a great way to get inspiration." Pip added a n old-looking scroll in the other hand of his sketch as he talked before pausing for a moment. "I understand what you mean, many of my sketches and art can be quite personal. Sometimes its good to create them for the moment but then after they are no longer needed so they become a new serface to paint upon or something." RavenFyre "I'd like to see your drawings," Haze said, now genuinely interested in what the pnada audio was saying. He smiled softly, glad that he understood how he felt and didn't push the subject, "Maybe I'll show you a few someday... B-but not right now." He was surprised that he was actually getting along with this boy, when his first impression of him hadn't been a very good one. MalisDelnaria Pip nodded slightly before nodding a little more vigerously. "It would be nice to see a writers impression of an artist's impression of a written piece. I'd be curious if the messages can survive such a translation." He smiled again as his hand paused over the paper and he regarded the audio once more, this time adding in details, hilights and shadows. He could sense Haze was a little more comfortable now, something in the male's posture and he was happy which also translated into his tone and deminior. RavenFyre Haze laughed softly, "I'm sure if I repeat that more slowly in my head it will make sense. But it would be nice to get a visual of what I imagine when I read, even if it's from someone else's perspective." The lynx audio slowly blushed darker and darker each time Pip would look at him before adding more details to his sketch, "You really do take every little detail in, don't you..? Does it bother you that I'm not really keeping still?" MalisDelnaria "It's the movement that gives the image life by the end of it. Line over line adds together and soon by the end of it a motion or a full expression of time is connected." Partially spoken from memory as if quoting from some arcane source of art-dom Pip's brow furrowed as he smudged some of the shaded areas with his thumb. "Of course it all get's thrown out of the window when it comes down to the paper though." He added with a grin. "As long as you don't start standing on your head I can promice ya you are not moving too much." RavenFyre The lynx actually laughed at that, "Well I can garuntee you that I won't be standing on my head, then." He really was starting to enjoy himself with Pip now, which really surprised him. "You're not like I first thought you were.." he admitted quietly. MalisDelnaria "I've actually heard that before." The pnada audio held out the sketchpad at arms length and looked at it critically. "Hmmm... not my best but then again my subject was quite desirable and I kept getting distracted." He grinned and hoped his 'subject' would know it was a joke... not that he didn't find the linx attractive, but that usually thost remarks were left until at least the third date and he hadn't even managed to score one. "Well I hope you like it... especialy like it enough to let me draw you again." Pip leaned back after offering the sketch up for approval. "I would love it if you came down to the loft and took a peek at my little world view." RavenFyre Haze blushed crimson, not used to hearing such remarks about himself, "W-what?!" he murred, trying to get himself under control, "You dummy! I told you not to say weird things like that!" But he calmed as he regarded the sketch, amazed at how well it was drawn on, "I-it really does look like me! That's so amazing..." He regarded him carefully, not sure if he'd like to be drawn again. Sure Pip was nice, and he wasn't stupid... but his remarks left him so flustered sometimes, "Well maybe, but I would like to see more of your drawings." MalisDelnaria "I shall hold my tounge then." And thus he did, gripping his tounge between two fingers. He scrunched one eye closed before scrunching the other closed and then realizing that conversation would come to an abrupt halt unless he let go. "Well how about figuratively instead of literally..." The audio laughed and then, standing up with a bow he carefully took the sketch and pulled it out of the book, an easy feat as it was designed with that purpose in mind. "Here ya go for now then. If you are ever willing to be a subject again please do hunt me down. And you are more than welcome to come to the loft though I can't promice Immi won't sing at you."

Grey Dragon The invitations for the party had been sent out to all, delicate little cards adorned with ghosts and pumpkins, reading only a location, a time, and a request to come in costume. And, of course, that there would be free snacks. In anticipation of the guests, the large room in the dark, creepy-looking house had been decorated according to the holiday. Fake cobwebs had been strung on the trees in the yard and across tables inside the room, and not-so-fake cobwebs had been left to accumulate in the high ceiling rafters and window corners. Orange and black streamers were draped across the roof and walls, and a ghastly carved pumpkin lit from inside sat on the corner of each table to frame the bowls of chips, punch, and assorted Halloween candy. Although music for dancing was playing over carefully hidden speakers, it was quieter on the other side of the room where a number of chairs and sofas sat, each one draped with black fabric. Over the main entrance hung a sign eerily reminiscent of dripping blood, that read "Happy Halloween!" Amirynth Malis was happy. It had been a good hunt and even better time in the kitchen. She had had to terrorize one of the audio in there until they let her bring in the carcass and make a few... interesting plates of food. Most of it was actually quite taisty but at the first glance looked very suspicious. Fish, some small game, and plenty of fingerfoods were prepared along with a few small desserts provided by Pip... those she put to the side so he could deal with them. Looking around at the table she grinned toothily and then wandered off to adorn her costume she had made. As a joke, and suggested by Immi, she had managed to fashion a dragon costume from scales and such. Though at first glance she looked like a scaled demon with a reptillian headdress... Keyboard set up and her mbira in a corner, Immi was excited. She hoped the host wouldn't mind her bringing some entertainment along with her. The musical audio chuckled at her costume of choice, a lion outfit in a tutu. Twirling around she looked around for her mask to complete the disguise. This was her first haloween event and she couldn't wait to join in the celebrations. Pip was already in his costume, a Shakeperian actor, complete with feathers in his hat and one in his paw. He had practiced a little calligraphy and was trying to walk and compose a poem at the same time. His gaze siddeled over to Immi before he shook his head slightly. This was his thing, he didn't want her to find someting to hold over him. He plopped down on the couch and sighed slightly, words were not his medium, he much prefered to sketch and capture the emotions in a heartbeat than to try and meter them out into prose. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Relm's eyes narrowed. "Well then Tseng is less perceptive than I gave him credit for. Attracted, yes. Wanting "a piece of his a**"... no."
She sighed, then started to smile -even so much that it lit her eyes. "But I figure that's a moot point, if I read things correctly. Even if it took me the entire afternoon to see it." and then some... she added silently to herself. Relm was trying hard not to let her past mistakes completely ruin her chances at having a good time tonight & she smiled brightly at the red headed Turk while casually petting the chocobo-dressed audio. "It's nice to meet you, Reno. You wouldn't happen to be a "Secretary" too, would you?"
Light green eyes sparkled with intelligence & amusement. The door opened & Yahto struggled inside. His costume was huge. Behind him he wore the back end of what appeared to be a donkey. The cyan yoshi audio had a mask of a donkey's head with what looked to be rabbits ears alongside the regular donkey ears. From the space where the back end of the beast of burden attached to Yahto two overlarge feathered wings were attached. Thankfully, someone had the good sense to make certain that the wings were made folded back against the animal's body. All of it was the same bright cyan hue of the audio's own fur.
He ceased his struggling, looking beyond the other party go-ers for someone in particular. Spying his sister his face broke into a cheerful grin & he waved enthusiastically as he came towards her. "Hey! Relm! You forgot to Float me before you left!"
Smiling in greeting he nodded to the redhead & the chocobo cheerfully.The artist rolled her eyes, an action which brought to her attention the mostly white male with a sketchpad. She would have to go make her fellow artist's acquaintance later. Now however. "Sorry Yahto. It must have slipped my mind."
Pulling out her brush she quickly cast the spell, permitting the six foot tall monstrosity to float about a foot off the floor. She ignored her brother's cheer of joy. "I can't believe you insisted on coming as that." She glanced warily at the bunny ears. "Why two pairs of ears? & why not blue?"The energetic male stomped his feet for fun in the air. "How else was I supposed to get across that I'm Killer the rabbit without rabbit ears? And I like my color. Cyan's close enough to blue."Relm sighed, turning to the Turk with a wry smile. "My apologies, Reno. My brother of sorts, Yahto. Yahto, this is Reno & ..." A puzzled look crossed her face as she glanced at the chocobo she was still petting. "I'm sorry. I never got your friend's name."Yahto did not seem to care, smiling & nodding as he listened for names, his eyes already drifting to the snack table. He grinned at a blue tailed audio who was carrying food. Carrying around the weight of his costume had made him hungry. RavenFyre When they had received their invitations he had promised himself that he wasn't going to go, but after lots of goading from Raven, Haze found himself where he was now, walking into the seasonally decorated house. Not only had he been convinced to go, but somehow he had been tricked into going in costume. A young renaissance prince, and even he could see the irony of the whole sitation. He tried for the millionth time to smooth out the ruffles of his shirt and vest to no avail, the tip of his leather boot clad foot making a small clacking sound as he tapped his heel on the floor lightly, the boots covering up to his thighs, tight, black pants hugging slim legs the rest of the way up. He could kill Ince for his superior costume making skills, the damn cosplaying sex slave! "Why am I here again..?" he muttered to himself, but the question was quickly answered for him as his sister walked in behind him. He sighed heavily, "Maybe I won't meet anyone..." He muttered hopefully as he escorted his sister, Chii inside.Chii looked around with wide eyes of awe as she was led inside, not thinking anything strange about the clothes she was wearing, though she was dressed in a gothic lolita dress, her usually parted hair wrapped up in black lace pigtails, a crown of dark red flowers adorning her head, and small black wings were strapped to her back. She had never seen so many people all at once before and she was fascinated. "Chii..." Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Relm giggles, trying to ignore the continued topic of Rufus' posterior & focus on the rest of the conversation. Suddenly she is very glad to have been overlooked by the ShinRa leader. "Office monkey... that's one I've not heard." Yahto bored with the introductions spots his friend Chii enter & momentarily forgets about food in a effort to turn around to her. "Chii! I'm so glad you came!" Relm rolls her eyes as Yahto moves the bulk of his costume around. Still petting the chocobo she smiles, turning to face the audio inside if she can. "You make a darling chocobo, Baxter." Then outside of the chocobo costume's line of sight she winks at Reno surprising herself by saying. "So bondage really does have practical purposes. Amazing."RavenFyre "Chii..?" the audiocom turned toward the direction she heard someone calling her. Spotting Yahto she curtseyed politely, "Yahto, very nice to meet you." She spoke softly and carefully, it had been obvious that once they had realized how to teach her to speak she had learned quite a bit back home.Haze shook his head, his voice warm and soothing as he spoke to his sister, "No Chii, when you've already met someone and you see them again, you say 'Nice to see you again,' not 'Nice to meet you,' okay?""Chii..." she looked back at her brother and nodded, turning her attention back to Yahto with another curtsey, "Nice to see you again," she repeated. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf He wanted to lift her up & spin her around, but even Yahto knew that was nearly impossible in his costume. Chii's formal greeting surprised him as well & the yoshi audio cocked his head -and the giant donkey "hat" he wore- curiously. "Chii? Dontcha wanna play?"
Almost as an afterthought, the cyan donky smiled sheepishly at Haze. "hiya. Pleased to meetcha." RavenFyre Chii nodded after a moment, smiling warmly, "Chii would like to play!" She regarded her brother, "Chii will play with Yahto."Haze nodded with a slight smile, "Nice to meet you, I'm Chii's brother. So be careful while you're playing, alright?" Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Grinning as if to say 'of course he would be careful, Yahto took the audioCom's hand. His arms looked funny coming out of the donkey's chest but the yoshi did not seem to mind. "Whyn't we dance? We could play games like before, but I think Relm'd paint me for that tonight." There was a way he said it that implied a less than favorable way of painting. Still he smiled broadly. "Maybe they'll even play YMCA!" RavenFyre Haze watched him go, feeling a pang of apprehension, but he let it go. He couldn't coddle Chii, besides it being bad for her, it just wasn't like him. And he would not admit that his naive sister actually made him worry.Chii followed behind Yahto with a happy smile, the ruffles of her lolita dress flurrying out behind her. She tilted her head curiously, wondering what was bad about painting, "Paint..? Paint for dancing?" She nodded a bit vaguely, not sure about what to do without a hint of direction. Amirynth The Pnada-audio spotted Haze wander in and grinned. The first thing he noticed was the similarities in costuming and this was definatly something he could have fun with. The blue donky-rabbit thing had captured his sketch book and he decided to finish that one before starting a new sketch. Tounge slightly showing from between pursed lips he worked on the image in front of him before glancing back up and adding the final details and turning the page over. *doesn't have time to write it but pretend Immi just got up and started playing haloween songs (monster mash and such ^-^~)

Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Luckily for Haze, the cyan yoshi was about the safest person to leave Chii in the care of. She was Yahto's special friend. Besides, if the AudioCom stayed with the giant blue donkey she would at least be easy to find in the growing crowd.
Yahto nodded seriously, an odd expression for the fun loving audio -especially in his current get-up. "Oh sure. Relm paints all the time, but when she paint paints someone it can be horrible!" The entire donkey shuddered with remembering when he had accidentally rearranged the artist's paints without her permission. It had not been a pretty scene & it had left a lasting impression on Yahto.
"But that's not gonna happen, so lets just have fun, okay Chii?" With a happy smile he shrugged such thoughts off & started to dance to the music Imogen started to play, keeping Chii's hand to gently lead her as he had before. Yahto did not even seem to notice the change in his pretty friend. Of course, he had not noticed anything might have been wrong with her to begin with. He did pay some care to dancing in the monstrosity that was his 6 foot donkey costume (seven feet, eleven inches, counting the ears to be precise), although that was probably still less than most would prefer. RavenFyre "Paint paints..?" the audiocom asked in further confusion. It was true that there was still alot that she didn't understand, still alot that she had to learn, but that just sounded odd to her. She nodded all the same when told to have fun, knowing that now would be the appropriate time to smile, "Chii!"
Chii watched Yahto for a moment as the music played, seeing that she had never danced to this music before... In fact she had only ever danced that time where Yahto showed her the moves and sang for them. But she started to follow his lead, surprisingly light on her feet as she moved with him. "Chii!"Haze, after looking around, noticed Pip... But he didn't want to notice Pip, especially when he noticed that they were wearing similiar, almost matching costumes. He looked away, pretending he didn't notice the pnada and started walking away in a different direction, clearly remembering the last time he had met the other boy, fighting the blush that was threatening to overtake his features. Amirynth Pip had been staring at Haze when the other audio had looked around. The pnada grinned slightly and quickly looked down at the page. Something about the audio's posture told him that this one might be a little more fun. As Haze turned around the artist got a greit view and he wistled under his breath... To chase or not to chase, that is the question... He decided to stay put for the moment and instead started sketching. He'd get one pic in... maybe with that blue donky/rabbit and that pretty audiocom in the background. Immi shimmied around on a small stage-like area and sang all the haloween songs she knew. Her favorite was 'I put a spell on you' and she managed to sneek that one in twice. As anther one of her favorites came to mind she tried to encourage the other audio who were dancing to join in for a grand rendition of 'Timewarp' She showed them all the steps and then through herself into the dance not quite looking where she was going... Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Yahto whooped with thrilled excitement when Imogen started "TimeWarp" and even his sister perked an ear & grinned. "TimeWarp! Chii, You're going to love this!" "Now this I can't resist." With a last pat Relm politely ignored the growls from the chocobo. "Have a little fun, Baxter -it's Halloween." Smiling at Reno & the chocobo she made a motion to indicate they should join in too. While Yahto took care to see his pretty friend learned the dance & had fun Relm began dancing along to the called instructions. Even Relm sang along. RavenFyre "Chii...?" Chii was confused at first when the song changed so suddenly, but watching Yahto closely she began to mimic his moves. Looking around she saw that everyone who was dancing were doing similar moves so it was that much easier to learn for her. "This is fun!" the audiocom giggled.Haze ignored the singing and dancing and made his way to the kitchen. He snorted softly, shaking his head at the halloween themed snacks. Serving himself a glass of punch and making his way back out to the living room. After a quick look around, he wrinkled his nose in distaste and made his way out through the backyard, sitting on the porch steps there. He really wasn't a party-goer, and if it hadn't been for Chii he wouldn't be there at all.Lainey felt nervous as she made her ways to the addressed house for the party, heels clicking lightly on the pavement. Ince had really outdone himself on her costume, and she couldn't stop blushing, or looking around her carefully to make sure that such a lovely outfit wouldn't be dirtied up so quickly. She had asked the adult bush baby if he could make her a costume designed like a princess, but Ince... being Ince, took it a few steps further, especially when he heard that her boyfriend would most likely be at the party, too. Which is why she was there in costume now, wig and all. She sighed heavily, yes the dress looked like a princess's, hell, like a queen's! But she knew where it really came from. She had loved the movie, The Labyrinth, but the dress Sarah wore in her hallucination was a bit over the top and that is how she felt now. She tried not to look at anyone as she walked in, hoping that in kind not many people would notice her. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Aiden squirmed nervously on the back of the hover-cycle, causing the handles of the short sword and rapier on his left hip to clink together slightly. Leaning forward across the machina Rikku giggled. Fayths, Aiden! quit your wiggling! We're nearly there!"The soft-spoken male did not comment, more because he did not want to eat his sister's hair than because he did not want to speak. Instead he watched their progress silently. The Al Bhed was anxious too. She and Naruto had talked about matching costumes but her ninja had not yet seen the black cowgirl outfit she wore with its red trimmings & white fringe. Rikku had left her hair down and exchanged her blue bandana for a red one with a white & black paisley print on it that matched her outfit. The skirt was not quite authentic, but it was cute & Rikku liked it. Of course, in a skirt so short she probably should not have been riding her hover-cycle like she was, but the skirt had enough flair not to be in danger & the fringe helped keep it safe to the eyes too. Closing his eyes as a strand of Rikku's long blonde hair snapped his way the fae audio straitened the lay of his Musketeer tabard. It like the swords had belonged to Trelweny's late husband. She had needed to open a seam in the back to let the highlander's wings through but she had seemed honored that it would be used. Aiden hoped he could do it justice.... and that Lainey would like it. Rikku slowed the machina & Aiden opened his eyes to take in the sight of the Halloween Party. "Ach. Well i' seems somebody went all out, dinnae i'?"As soon as the hover-cycle came to a complete stop, Aiden hopped off & offered the Al Bhed a hand down. Giggling, Rikku accepted but drew the line at going in with him. "I need to lock up the cycle..." She offered as way of explanation, but Aiden's keen golden eyes saw how she glanced about as if searching & he knew that she wanted to wait outside for her beau. "Dinnae be te long abou' i', Rikku-lass." He said with a wink, donning the feathered musketeer hat he had worn on his back for the ride. "You got it!" The blonde agreed, tipping her own hat as she set it on her head, the braids surrounding her face bouncing as Rikku tried not to giggle. With a polite bow, Aiden sauntered in his black high boots to the door. Alone for the moment, Rikku hastily combed her hair from the ride. Inside, Relm was a little disappointed the Turk had not chosen to dance. It was not a big deal... the artist had merely been curious if he would try to get the bound Baxter/chocobo to dance. She spotted her brother's mate enter & kept one eye on the princess while continuing to dance & sing along. He was really into the dance -thrilled that Chii was having fun- when Yahto saw Lainey too & waived. "Look Chii! Lainey's shown up!"Aiden blinked at all the audios within. Many he recognized, though the often silent watcher was certain not as many knew him. The bright shine of a white dress as the light reflected from it made him blink as his eyes were adjusting to the light. The Scottish gentleman felt a strong desire to approach her -so strong he started to feel guilty & almost turned away completely when his eyes finally became used to the lights inside & he could see the familiar & beloved firework pattern on the few spots not covered by the dress. With quick, purposeful strides he closed the distance between them, guilt gone. What use for it, when the longing was for his own dear lass? "Lainey... my lady..." He bowed deeply, even taking off his hat properly. "Ye look lovely."RavenFyre Chii stopped in her dancing when Yahto pointed her sister out, smiling and nodding, "That is Lainey." Then she spotted Aiden walk up to her and a playful little smile danced across her lips, "We stay dancing here..?" she asked Yahto, hoping that the cyan Yoshi understood that she didn't want to disturb her sister.Lainey whirled around when she heard Aiden's familar voice, blushing as she took in sight of his costume, "A-aiden!" She smiled shyly, "Thank you, and your costume is wonderful, too! You look so handsome this way." She giggled, "A musketeer really suits you!" She shifted a bit in place, the large dress swishing with the movement, "You don't think this is a bit over the top..?" She especially felt embarrassed with the wig done up with the tiara, blushing darker. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf "Course!!" Yahto would much rather be dancing than hanging out with the couple regardless. He grinned, stepping right back into the dance. "Those two don't need our help!"The artist itched to paint the lovers, but somehow managed to resist. Relm did not even wave. It was Lainey's moment. "Nae... 't'is nae a bit o'er th' top, beloved." He took her hand in his, gallantly kissing the back with warm kisses. "An' thank ye, my bonny Lainey. I had hoped ye would like my choice." The fingers of Aiden's free left hand casually brushed the pummel of the rapier, Destiny, as they held his hat. Keeping her hand in his Aiden rose & donned his hat. Now, wha' be my bonny lady's desire?" He indicated with a casual sweep of his hand the dancing, the food, the audios drinking.... Aiden blinked at the sight of what would only be Demyx -with wings. Something told him they were not fake wings... not like his fool brother in his winged donkey costume. These were useful. "Saints preserve us..." The highlander breathed in surprise, doing another double take spotting an audio that could only be Saix also with usable wings. It made him wonder about the horns. Almost as surprising, the two seemed to be getting along -a far cry from the last time he had viewed them in the shop from high up in his rafter perch. Shaking his head to refocus his thoughts Aiden smiled apologetically at Lainey, tucking the hand he held expertly into the curve of his arm. "My lady?" RavenFyre Chii smiled with a nod, glad that Yahto understood. She was confused for a moment when the music changed, looking helplessly at Yahto for some direction. Yahto always seemed to know what to do. "Chii...?"Lainey couldn't stop the soft, shy smile that spread across her lips, giggling softly at Aiden's chivalrous act, though she knew it really wasn't an act. Her beau was of a dying breed of gentleman and she knew how lucky she was to have found someone like him, much less have someone like this love her as much as she loved him. She noticed the blades at his side, wanting to ask about them, but not getting the chance to. "Umm..." She looked around, not knowing what they should do.
She noticed then that Aiden's attention was elsewhere and followed his gaze. Her breath hitched softly in surprise. Two other audios with wings. The intimidating looking one with wings she had never seen before, but the one with angel wings... She had seen him once or twice before, but she had never spoken to him directly. He didn't have wings then, but this was a costume party, so she didn't think much of it. "Aiden..?" She smiled softly and shook her head, "Don't worry about it. They do look pretty realistic, don't they?" "She heard the change in music and smiled, "Would you care to dance with me, Aiden?"Haze was too lost in his own thoughts to notice that he was no longer the only one outside... That was until someone tried to sit on him. "HEY! Watch it!" he murred indignantly, then got a better look at who it was. He didn't recognize this audio, so he was surprise when she seemed to recognize him. "Umm... Hi..." There was something a bit... unnerving about this girl, so he'd have to be polite, otherwise he couldn't garuntee that he wouldn't be hurt. "It's awfully crowded in there, isn't it?" he tried to make polite conversation. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf The cyan yoshi's brows crinkled almost to a whimper. Oh, he could dance to this music -Aiden had seen to that- but Yahto much preferred fast paced dances or anything where the moves where easier to follow. However it seemed to him that Chi was waiting for him to lead her. He gulped. Aiden smiled softly at his princess. "I would be honored, my bonny lady." Spinning her into his arms the highlander easily leads Lainey in a dance onto what passes as the dance floor. He changes dances to fit the songs, but Aiden's dance skills certainly favor classic & folk dances still. As the music changed Relm quickly bowed out. As she left she could hear Yahto speak to the lolita dressed AudioCom. "I'm not as good at this as Aiden..."Relm chuckles softly, seeing out of the corner of her eye her energetic brother awkwardly trying to lead Chi in a waltz of sorts while still keeping his exceptionally large costume from knocking into people. Smiling at it, Relm sits beside the artist she saw sketching earlier -glancing casually at his page as she does so. With a nod & smile of greeting she pulls out her own pad & her paintbrush to permit her to paint the scene. A slight frown creases her brow for a moment at having to rely on her magics for this, but really... who would want to carry paints with them if they did not have to?

Amirynth The lond dress flowed from his fingers onto the paper. The pnada was so intnt on drawing he didn't even see the other audio sit down. It wasn't until he sat back and regarded his work that he noticed the other artist. "Why hello fellow artist, decided to take a step back from the festivities?" He said with a grin, his sketchbook seeming to magically switch to a clean page. Pip's eyes widened for a moment as he saw the conjured paints and he raised an eyebrow but declined to mention anything. "So who should I call ya, or can I just call you beautiful?" Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Sometimes it was easy to forget she was a carbunkle tonight, especially with her brush in hand. She smiled pleasantly at the pnada a brow quirking with amusement at the almost magical way he got a fresh page. Relm's smile brightened at the compliment. Even if it was offhanded, it still felt good. "For a moment at least." She agreed, tapping the tip of her brush's handle to the already dry painting on her pad. "Call of the art, you know."
Dipping her head in as much of a curtsy as she could manage sitting down she added. "I'm Relm Arrowny, but Relm's just fine." Amirynth "Relm's an interesting name, where is it from? As for mine, there are some who call me Pip." The pnada audio started sketching again, this time including his flatmate, Immi. "Others call me, hey you! pnada-boy or handsome..." He grinned down towards the paper, "but that's another story entirely." Continueing his sketches, Pip kept the conversation light. He was partially wondering how he was going to get that troll out of the garden withough causing any undue fuss and snagging a spot next to the one she must be chatting with. "So what kind of things do you like? Subject matter wise and such..." He had to admit to himself, it was nice to chat with another artist though... Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf "It's from Thamasa, where I was born." Relm had turned her attention to the drinkers for a moment, & was trying to show the shine of Demyx's halo without using her magic for more than the creation of the paint itself. Rufus had been correct in saying that using magic to paint was cheating in a way. It still irked her though. She was as good a painter with or without her magic. And her magic was natural to her. Relm put her concentration back to the painting & their conversation. "Pip... that's awfully cute for such a handsome audio."
She said so more with an artist's critique than from any attempt to be coy. "As for subjects, I prefer living ones. My family, more often than not. People I see when I'm out & about." Relm gave a light shrug of her green tinted shoulders. "But really, as long as I'm painting something I'm not too terribly picky."
Remembering her need to paint something worth painting that day in the park the artist-mage blushed scarlet. "Though sometimes, I long to paint someone with exceptional grace, beauty, character... or something hidden within..."
On the lower end of the page where she had been drawing those circled drinking was a smaller image of 13 audios in matching attire, four of whom were obviously among the drinkers. Relm blinked at it in surprise, not remembering having painted it.
Distracted, she hurriedly turned the page to a fresh one -magically drying the paint as she did. Looking at the Shakespearian Actor as she painted him Relm noted casually. "But you... you would rather be somewhere else..." Her head tilted and her light green eyes sparkled keenly. "A special "subject" perhaps?" Amirynth "You could say that." Pip chuckled slightly then waved his pencil around for a moment as if to waft that though away. He was here for the moment and that troll was over there anyways so it wasn't like anything could be done about it. He'd rather chuck it up to a lost cause for a moment and consentrait on what could be attained in the now. "Living subjects are much more fun to draw than stationary ones. So many expressions and so many emotions, it gives a certain... random-ness to the whole artform." He carefully diverted the conversation back onto the older track before noticing the other's slight blush that came from such an observant eye, cultured from being an artist for so long. "I see you may have a favorite subject too?" He couldn't resist making a return jibe, even if in fun. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Relm blushed hotly. "Not in the way you're thinking, nor why." No, Rufus ShinRa was definitely not a favorite subject... as much as she had liked painting him before. No. For a favorite subject like she wanted... Relm wanted someone who could love & respect her, someone she could respect, someone only for her.
But the question brought to mind her dear friend & the artist mage smiled softly to herself -almost forgetting Pip was there. "I do paint my friend, Keme, a lot though. His coloring is so vibrant... he's easy to paint."
As she spoke, the image of an audio -mostly green with blue, red, & white- patterned like a hummingbird appeared on her page. He sat in a tree & appeared to be humming as he flipped through a book while a small boom-box played on the ground. More than her other paintings tonight, this one seemed stunningly real. Like a window to something actually happening that moment.

Amirynth "Too busy it be..." A little mollyfied by the polite audio she grunted and and pulled off her headress, revealing the mass of bright red braided dreads and a rather interesting looking face. The bright eyes turned back towards Haze as she grinned toothily. "T'was hot under there. Dammned if Ah let that singer choose a costume for meh again." She frowned slightly before shaking her head slightly, letting the cooler night air flow in between her braids. "You be Haze right? Mah name be Malis. Ah be troll." She grinned again before winking, "Ah see ya match t' Pip. Accident or on purpose?" RavenFyre Haze nodded, "Yeah, it is pretty busy in there... And I saw a few people drinking in there, so I'm sure there'll be a rowdier bunch in there soon." Haze spoke easily. He look turned to that of surpise when Malis took off her headdress, thinking that she was oddly very pretty, but the teeth were scary. He had to try to hide a small tremor of instinctive fear that went down his spine. He snorted softly and looked up at the night sky, "So I guess I'm not the only one forced into clothes they didn't want to wear." He was surprised that once again this girl seemed to know who he was, "Umm... yeah... I'm sorry, have we met before? Did you... just say that you're a troll..?" Sure he had been thinking that this girl was a bit taller than even him, not that he was that tall, though the label "amazon" had popped into his head before "troll" ever did. He blushed darkly at the mention of the flirty pnada, and looked away, "Strictly accident, I assure you." Amirynth As the troll turned, Haze could see that there was only one tusk, the other look like it had been broken off a long time ago. "Yup! Malis be troll, Malis been troll for all time she can remember." The blue audio put the headdress to the side and streatched out her legs. Everything else about her seemed almost normal until she fully streatched letting the undescerning eye work out how tall she actually was. Long fingers ran through her braided dreads as she leaned back. "Malis has not met Haze before but Malis has seen Haze. Malis also hear about Haze from Pip. Malis can see things through bone too." She thought about how she could explain her shamanism talents without giving away all her secrets. "Malis can read stones." RavenFyre "I don't think I've ever met a troll before... I have to admit you don't look a thing like you see in children's books. They don't do you justice." Haze said, looking amused. His eyes went the size of saucers, his face the color of a tomato, "Pip talks about me?!" That couldn't be right, he had only talked to the pnada once before... maybe twice. What could the other audio possibly have to say about him? Though his embarrassment was put on hold by the troll's strange comment. "See through bones? Read stones..? Are you some sort of... fortune teller..?" Somehow that didn't sound right to him, though. Amirynth "Pip only talk about Haze one or two times to Malis. Malis see Pip like Haze through bones." She could sense the confusion and decided to try and explain. "See Malis can see things through reading bone and crystal. Skill was passed down many, many, many mothers. Sometimes watching is most important. Malis notice things like way words sonds and way person reacts. Same with stones. Some bones fall streight, some fall crooked, all land special way and Malis know how to read." She reached into her pouch that still hung by her side and retrieved a handful of stones and bone fragments. Some looked like antler pieces, while other's caught the light and sparkled. The troll handled them soloumly and then winked at Haze. "Blow on them." She stated and thrust her arms so they were almost right under his nose. "Ah show what Ah mean..." RavenFyre Haze decided he would listen to what Malis had to say before injecting his opinion on it. He never was one to believe in magic and other such things, but his family being his family sometimes it was hard to deny. He coudln't help but be embarrassed to be told that someone liked him, he hoped that he kept his expression passive on the matter. He watched the troll curiously. He flinched and pulled back a bit when she suddenly thrust his hand right under his nose, thinking for a second that she was going to punch him. "A-ah... Alright..." What could it hurt, really? Leaning forward and blew onto her hand, not really sure if that was what he was supposed to do. "Like this?" Amirynth "Yarp!" Malis nodded and grinned again, her tooth/tusk noticable when she did that. Mumbling some hard to deciper words she drew a circle in the ground with one finger and then ratteling the bones and crystal in one paw her other paw reached into the bag and pulled out a strip of what looked like a large rabbit skin and a few larger rocks. The skin was laid down on the ground with a malachire rock on each corner and then adjusted with the trolls feet as her paws continued to gatehr a few more things. Her toes, longer than most were able to grasp almost as good as her paws and soon another eight malachite rocks were added around the circle. Frowining slightly and still mumbling Malis shook the stones and antler fragments in a circle before suddenly releasing her handful and bending over the circle to see where they fell. "Hmmm... this be interesting..." The troll feel silent for a moment before reaching in her bag once more and pulling out a thin bone that, with closer inspecition was a rather big claw. RavenFyre Haze couldn't help himself from being curious, watching this strange ritual. At her cryptic comment he leaned over the circle himself, looking at the stones and bones as if he could read them as well. "What's interesting?" Amirynth The troll took another look and prodded at a few of the antler fragments before gestuing over each of the pieces. "Malis sees this one. Got three points? Well means choices... or chances, Malis forgets. Well means maybe paths are ahead but one to travel is not apparent yet. To many choices, too many paths. See is next to glitter stone like gold but not?" She prodded the piece of piryte that sat innocently next to the three pronged piece of antler. "Malis see that it be your fault there be so many choices... like you are hunted and no want to be found. But that be ok, many people no like being caught. See this stone with spirale on it?" A fossil had fallen toward the two stones, almost making a perfect triangle. "This also be influance but it be pointing towards antler which means good. Fossil will help guide, Malis know ya need t' find fossil but it be up to you." The troll blinked and then tilted her head to the side staring at another shell like rock. "This one ish good. Means many friends, many people care... and Hmmm...?" She paused as her red eyes alighted on another bone... RavenFyre Haze looked at each piece Malis pointed to intently, as if he could understand the meanings for himself once she explained them. He was quiet a moment, his brows furrowing. "So what you are saying is that I'm avoiding things in my life..? What kind of things am I avoiding..?" He was surprised with himself over how seriously he was taking this reading. He snorted softly, "Well I guess if you consider family as part of friends I could have a lot... but I don't really know that many people that are not part of my family. And is this fossil supposed to represent someone?" He scooted even closer at her pause, "What is it?"

Amirynth Malis nodded. "Many people avoid things. Sometimes is good, keep from harm. But sometimes is bad 'cause other wise no live life full. Malis chase all path 'cause Malis like event-ure but some no like hard path, only easy path, quiet, no event-ure." The troll shrugged before prodding the fossil again. "Maybe person..." she nodded. Pip get fossil lots... just same as he get not-gold stone." She gestured towards the pyrite with her poking claw before looking towards Haze with a fierce stare. "Fossil be who you want it to be. Or maybe it be no one but some... t'ing." She turned her attention back to the second bone in the ring. "Sell says many people care but you know not of them... bone says not want to know. See, bone ish wall... wall is protect but wall keep things in as well as keep out. Wall ish only good with door. This be good though." Malis picked up the next thing with a flourish. Hiding it in her paw she grinned her toothy smile. "This means ya found something useful, something to help with paths if wanted, Malis predict it be blue and very wise and very good looking." She winked before continueing. "Malis think you may prefer somet'ing black and white perhaps? It be hard to find another to help keep down t' weeds before they overrun the castle. But there be help along t' way, just keep ya eyes peeled." With that she handed a piece of smooth stone to the other audio. A small stone that had been carved into a doughnut shape. It was leopardyrite, a relative of granite, but without the pink fieldspar. All black and white spotted with small gray pieces of mica interspaced between. RavenFyre "I.... guess that I do avoid some things... I..." Haze stopped himself there, too embarrassed to bare his soul out to anyone, much less someone he just met. "I'm trying to get better at it," he said instead. The troll was actually giving him quite a lot to think about, maybe it was time for some introspect some things in his life. He blushed when his mind jumped to someone specific that the fossil could represent, someone black and white and very warm, friendly, and inviting, but he quickly shook that thought away. He chuckled softly, "You mean yourself? You are quite lovely, though I'm sure most amazon-looking women are," he threw back with a wink of his own. He blushed crimson all over again when she made indirect mention of Pip, wondering if she could read his mind. "A-ah... I'll keep that in mind..." He took the stone and looked down at it intently. "I-is this for me..?" Amirynth "Like Malis said, may people avoide things... wise ones recognize the paths being avoided before they are and then make choice to walk down or not after thinking 'bout it. Malis knows you will find way to choose rightly." She looked down at the chart that had formed with her proddings and mumbled under her breath again before sweeping the circle clean. After that she looked up at his next question.
"Yessums, for you." Malis nodded and started gathering her crystals and bones, putting them carefully back into her pouch. "Ahh, Haze think troll is from Amazon? Malis need t' show Haze where Ogrimmar be. Though Malis don't know if she can get back there. No matter, Malis be having fun here." She turned to the other audio and grinned. "Thankya for t' complement. This troll don't mind being 'lovely' especially when it mean Malis get to talk to handsom audio like Haze." She decided to let Haze make up his own mind about Pip but did make sure he knew that she was one he could ask anything about. "Malis always ready to read stones for Haze if he want... But don't expect the next one t' be free. Malis gave gift this time, next time it be Haze to give gift." Bartering was the way the troll worked, it was a good thing that she accepted interesting bits of rocks and baubles more than gold or gems actually worth something. RavenFyre Haze nodded thoughtfully, "Well I'll be sure to think about my actions now and where they can lead me, so thank you." He smiled and pocketed the stone for safekeeping, "Well, you're tall and voluptuous, which can make many people think of amazons, though I guess I haven't really seen one myself." He grinned, with just a hint of a blush, falling easily into his 'suave guy' act now that he was more comfortable. "I'm glad to got to meet you, Malis. You're a good person to talk to. You help me think about who I am and just what I'm doing." He raised an eyebrow in amusement, "What kind of things would you like as gifts? I'm afraid I'm not very rich" Amirynth "Shinies work." Malis nodded gravely. "Interesting shinies... Malis likes muchly." The troll leaned back and looked at the stars contemplatively. She was getting used to meeting all these new audio considering she had spent a good part of her life traveling on her own. Large groups she still couldn't deal with, but one-on-one was easy for her. It was much better than being alone. When it all came down to it, Malis needed others to keep going in her journey of discover and 'event-ure' The blue audio turned to watch Haze noticing the more 'clean cut' personality surfice and yet it seem more relaxed then when she had first met him on the steps earlier. "Malis think Haze is good person also. Very nice with trollish outside but not look it." To her, that was a complement but could be taken any way by the listner, she figured he'd know what she meant. "Malis think she's glad troll feet stumble on tail. Otherwise Malis be still board out of mind." RavenFyre "Shinies... I think I have a few of those at home... Well... not like diamond or gold shinies, but I have a few things." Haze wasn't sure if what she said was meant as a compliment or not, "Umm... thank you..?" He chuckled softly, "You think you'd be bored in that party..? I just felt overwhelmed by all those people in there." Haze was both relieved and a touch disappointed when his beeper went off, fishing it out of his shirt and seeing what the number message meant. "I'm needed at home." And he hadn't gotten to see Pip all night. Oh well. He had been both looking forward and dreading that visit and now it all fizzled out without finding out which emotion won out in the end. "It was nice to meet you, Ms. Malis. I hope we meet again. And tell Pip I said hi," wih a bow of his head he politely excused himself, heading back into the house, spotting his sisters and leaving the party with them.

Amirynth Bringing the music back to a faster dance beat for a moment, Immi decided to hop down and meet and greet. She spotted a princess audio who was dancing with a large cyan donkey and giggled. She had wanted to meet the audiocom when she had seen her before and this was the perfect time to do so. Jumping off stage in her lion costume she made her way towards them. RavenFyre With a laugh, Lainey quickly and easily followed Aiden's lead. They had not danced often, but she knew her beau's moves, had watched him before, how he moved in everyday situations and that same grace was even more apparent in his dancing. She felt a little embarrassed at the way her dress with flare our in turns, but she loved the effect all the same. She smiled softly and lightly rested her head on Aiden's shoulder, careful not to jar the tiara set wig. "It's really easy to feel like a real princess like this, Aiden..." With a teasing giggle she suddenly pulled out of his hold, keeping hold of just one of his hands and holding it up to spin herself around."Chii..." The audiocome seemed to understand Yahto's situation, and somewhere in the back of her mind she was grateful for her short stature at the moment. Even if her movements were akward along with Yahto she smiled softly, letting the other know that it was okay. "Chii.. Yahto dances well." With a soft squeeze on the cyan yoshi's hand, Chii took the lead of the dance, remembering seeing something similar on the television once before now that Yahto showed her how it was to dance to this sort of music. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Aiden's golden gaze drank the sight of her in as he lifted his arm higher to accommodate Lainey's spin. "Yer always a princess te me, Beloved."
He took advantage of the change in music tempi to pull her close to him, having no problems maneuvering her in her volumous skirts around. His own swords seemed to be an extension of himself -also not a hindrance. The musketeer kissed his princess once; lightly but sure. Then he pulled back to a comfortable distance, but one less suited for dancing. Not that he minded with the faster beats now playing. In the corner of his eye he saw Imogen approaching the dancers & gave her a kind smile & a nod. "Ah, the singer approaches, my bonny lass." Then to Imogen the lion. "Lovely music as ever, Imogen lass. Ye grace us wit' yer talent." He bowed genteelly. "May I get ye lasses a spot te drink? I'm at yer service." "Killer" nearly took out something he could not quite see with a hind-leg as Chii took the lead, but overall the audio inside the suit was relieved his dancing partner could lead. "Chii, that's awesome!" Yahto exclaimed, an excited tone totally inappropriate for the dance they were doing. He had no qualms letting the female lead. She was better at it.
Then the music shifted back to fast & he beamed happily. Only when the singer hopped of the stage did he really notice her & do a double take at her costume. Yahto was already starting to dance to the more bouncing beat when he laughed good-naturedly. "Chii!! Look! A lion in a tutu! A pink tutu!! Isn't that great?!?"
He was shaking with mirth, all six feet (seven feet eleven inches including the ears) of him -costume & all. Still, somehow the yoshi audio managed to keep on dancing. Amirynth "Why thanks!" Immi made a small curtsey. "A drink maybe welcome later when things start to quieten down." She caught the laughter that came from the cyan rabbit/donkey and turned towards them with a twinkle in her eye. "If you may excuse me, I have someone I would like to meet." She bowed again and added, "I shall see you about that drink later, enjoy the dancing and congratulations on finding such a beautiful partner" The lion-clad audio chuckled and made her way across the dance floor until she reached Yahto and Chii. RavenFyre Lainey blushed darkly, still not used to getting such warm compliments even after all this time. She giggled softly at the change in music, though it was just a bit awkward to move around in her large skirts, after a few trials she seemed to find a way to do it properly. She spotted Immi, recognizing her from before. She had met her siblings as well. "Immi, I love your costume!" She gushed. "It's really original!" She blushed all over again at being called a 'beautiful partner.' Or was Immi congradulating her and calling Aiden beautiful? Either way it made her happy. Trelweny Aiden bowed again. Thank ye. I'm very blessed." He waved lightly as Imogen went left them & held his arm out for Lainey. "My lady? A drink?" The highlander indicated the tables with food and drink, not the liquor cabinets. He recognized the knight & the schoolgirl by the tables from the day at the beach, though he had never been introduced to either of them. Still he nodded politely if they looked his way. Amirynth "My thanks Lainey. I think your dress is stunning too. Absolutly awe-inspireing." Immi grinned and then tucked her head back into the large plushi head before making a bow. "Have fun you too!" Came the muffled reply as Aiden helped Lainey manuver her way towards the drinks bar. How Immi wished that one day she may find someone like Aiden, that Lainey was a lucky girl, but then again she deserved him. Nodding slightly the singer though about Guide for a moment before sighing slightly. She hadn't seen him here but the night was still young...ish. Trelweny Yahto bounced happily in place as Imogen neared. "Wow!! A lion in a tutu!!" It looked awfully funny for a 6 foot (seven feet eleven inches including the ears) blue donkey to he hopping a foot off the ground -Relm had used a pretty good spell to see that her brother did not step on anyone's toes- but the cyan yoshi audio did not seem to notice or mind. "That's great!"
Praise for the moment finished, Yahto went into one of his favorite games -meeting people! "I'm Yahto!! & this is my friend, Chii!" He beamed fondly as the lolita dressed AudioCom with complete innocence. RavenFyre Chii just smiled softly, blushing a light pink from the praise. She was surprised when the music changed once again, but quickly fell back into the more energetic form of bounce dancing. When Yahto called to her she turned her attention to where the cyan yoshi pointed, "Chii?" She saw the singer and tilted he head curiously, not sure what to make of her. Amirynth "I love your costume too!" Immi was chortling with glee when she finally arrived at the cyan donkey/rabbit/audio's feet. "Let me guess... Now you couldn't be Killer the rabbit could you?" Those books had been one of her favorites as a kid and the costume had caught her eye for that very same reason. "You are definatly the most origional costume here tonight." Turning to Chii she waved before taking off her plushi head/mask. "Whew, it can get hot in there. Hi! I'm Imogen but people usually call me Immi. Are you having fun tonight?" She took the audio-com's paw and shook it vigerously in her own huge lion mitt. RavenFyre Chii seemed to relax more when the strange lion head came off and a normal audio was underneath. Once again she looked between Yahto and Immi, squeaking a small 'Chii!' when the flower audio took her hand in an energetic handshake. "Chii... It's nice to meet you, Immi. My name is Chii." she smiled politely, though her eyes were shining happily to meet someone new. "Chii is having lots of fun!" she nodded happily, "Yahto shows Chii how to dance!" Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Yahto hopped in delight. "You know!! You really know!! That's the bomb!" He grinned with pleasure & beamed while nodding that Chii had told that he was showing her how to dance. "But original compared to a lion in a tutu? I'm not the one who wrote the books! However did you come up with yours?" RavenFyre A beeping suddenly went off coming from the audiocom. Chii reached towards the white and pink second pair of ears she had instead of headphones, clicking the left side open. The beeping got louder when she did until her slim fingers pressed down on a button and the beeping stopped, a soft whirring sound taking it's place, the blonde's eyes going distant before coming back, closing the ear again with a soft click. "Chii must go now," she stated simply, hugging Yahto goodbye with a kiss on the cheek before she turned and walked up to her sister, the firework audio hard to miss in her large, elegant dress. "Goodbye Mr. Aiden," she bowed her head politely to him then dragged Lainey off in search of their brother. Amirynth Hearing the beaping Immi looked startled trying to figure out where it came from but after Chii reacted to it she understood. "Not a problem, I hoped you had fun!" She waved to the audiocom as she left before stiffeling a yawn of her own. "I should be off too, need to keep my voice and all that." With a grin, a wave and a bow she was off herself back to the loft.

Amirynth *throws Pip and Malis at Bulls*Pip: o_OMalis: Heya there! xx_Bullseye_xx o__o *hides behind Demyx!* Demyx: WTF?! *tries to scramble away*Amirynth *Pip lands on Demyx* Eeep! I'm sorry sweatdrop *attempts to get up**Malis avoids the audio-pile and scoots around eyeing Bulls* And so who is this cute man-flesh? *she winks* xx_Bullseye_xx *blinks at Malis* o_o...um...............hi? Demyx: x___X *squirms under Pip*RavenFyre Haze: *watches Pip and Demyx squirming* Huh... Well I guess that's how it is... stare Amirynth Malis grins again, "So how does Malis have the pleasure of meeting such a..." she pauses and runs a finger along the arm before blinking. "You be not an audio... Ahhh shells! Ah got t' wrong one." The troll stalks over to Demyx and punts Pip over to Rave. "Let's try this again," She smiles down at the orgy-audio, hand out streched.Pip: o_O *get's thrown around again and considers health insurance* RavenFyre *blinks and rights Pip* o.o;; Ermm... I think Haze is peeved now... *points to the brooding Lynx audio* Amirynth Pip gives a look of shock. "Whyfor the linx be so upset?" He peers around to take a peek, wondering if it was something he did. RavenFyre Umm... I think he saw you on top of Demyx and squirming... it didn't look altogether innocent ^^;; *leans in to whisper* Not that he'll admit that it upset him, but I think he thinks you're a player now... X3;; Amirynth Pip flails as he tired to explain himself. "But I swear it wasn't me... Ryn threw me over there, I swear" Waves his arms around before pausing to think. "What should I do to make things better?" RavenFyre *blinks a bit* Ummm... I don't know... Haze is still kinda a mystery to me ^^;;; Amirynth "Hmmm..." Getting an idea Pip took out his sketchbook and wandered over to Haze. Sitting next to him he chewed on the end of his pencil for a moment, thinking hard, before starting to draw. About three or four minutes pass before he shows it to Haze. On the paper was a series of chibi sketches. The first was a large snake-girl tossing him and Malis on to two that looked like Orgys. The next scene he lands on the one with wings and tries to get off with the next scene having Malis throwing him off. (He had added lots of squiggly lines to show how confused he was while flying in the air) The last was of a sad Haze and an even sadder Pip who was holding a large bunch of flowers behind him.
"I'm sorry, I don't have flowers for ya, but you wouldn't happen to mind a drawing of them instead for an apologie?" RavenFyre Haze gave Pip nothing but an icy glare as the pnada audio sat next to him, but then he looked away. He didn't move, but he didn't even acknowledge that the other was there. That was until a chibi sketch comic was slid just under his nose. He stared at the comic for a few seconds, then started to laugh, softly at first, then louder, leaning back as the chuckles shook through his frame. "You're very strange, you know that?" Amirynth
"I shall take that complement to heart." The pnada audio placed his pencil holding paw to his heart before letting it drop to his lap. "I dunno, a few months ago I might have not worried about it but it's like recently I have no interest in anyone other than you... and when I heard you were sad..." The black and white audio paused not sure how to explain how he felt, his hand making circle motions on the paper. Looking down at what he had drawn, Pip held it up for the other to see. "I think I like this Haze best." The sketch he had captured of the laughing linx looked back at the real one.RavenFyre His laughter calming down, the lynx blushed darkly, looking away once again. Honestly? What was he supposed to say to something like that? "W-who said that I was sad, huh?" Deny it... that was what he was best at. With a sigh, he returned his gaze to the pnada audio to look at his new picture, blinking and staring a bit as his own laughing face looked back at him, his face coloring an even darker red. "Why..?" Amirynth "That one did..." Pip waved his hand over to Rave before turning back, "But it doesn't matter now, you're happy which is the bestest!" At the spotted audio's questioning he paused thinking "uuummm... well... I'm not quite sure... I'm just not interested in others and I find myself thinking of you often..." The usually glib audio was tounge-tied, not quite sure how to express what he was thinking. RavenFyre Haze grumbled under his breath about nosey masters, "Well he was wrong. What does it matter to me when you throw yourself at other audios?" He didn't think he could ever stop blushing at this point, but there was still doubt. There was always doubt. "You don't even know me. You don't know anything about me, how can you say things like that? You can't possibly mean it." Amirynth "Come now, I like a little about you," Pip smiled and lightly patted the other's paw with his own. "I know you like writing short stories, even if you won't show me them. You like historical novels best as well as biographies and memoirs." Pip paused and grinned, "You also used to think I was a jerk, do you still think so?" The pnada audio had been blessed with a sharp memory for details as that is what made his art a little more personal. RavenFyre "You know the things I told you, but isn't that a little base and flat..? I'm sure a lot of audios like what I do. That isn't grounds enough to say you like me. I'm really moody and angry a lot, what kind of person likes that sort of thing?" Haze flushed a light pink, giving Pip a watered down dirty look, "Sometimes I do... but I guess not as much as I used to..." Amirynth
"But isn't getting to know you all about learning what the other person likes/dislikes and such?" Pip waved his arms about as he talked, "And who can explain a connection that is felt, unless you really don't want me around, I would prefer to spend time here than anywhere else. I might not know exatly why but I do. And moodyness and anger doesn't phase me, I have my own fair shair of moments as does everyone else." He took a breath, "Isn't it better to go through life with a want to shaire experiances with someone than to live life alone?"
After falling quiet for a moment he almost whispered, "I'm glad you don't think of me as a jerk most of the time anymore..."RavenFyre Haze was quiet for a long moment, taking in everything Pip was saying and recalling his converstaion with Malis at the halloween party. He usually didn't believe in fortune telling or other such nonsense, but when the orge spoke to him about himself... It really hit home and he couldn't get her words out of his head. He sighed softly, offering the pnada a soft, unguarded smile. "You're that determined, aren't you?" He chuckled softly and actually lightly butted their heads together, "No I don't think you're that much of a jerk anymore... Now I mostly think that you're strange." Amirynth
Pip chuckles, "I can do strange." He smiled and rolled over so that he was on his stomach, propping his head up and looked up at the linx audio. "I specialize in the strangeness." He picked up his sketch book and moved his pencil around on the paper as she reguarded Haze. "Though I have always been told I am quite the stubbon one" The pnada audio chuckled as he sketched.RavenFyre Haze sighed as he watched the other audio start to sketch again, a small smile tugging at his lips. "You'll have to be stubborn to put up with me... I can be pretty stubborn myself." He leaned back into a more comfortable position. "Well, since I'm in such an agreeable mood, what would you like to know about me?" Malis Delnaria "Hmmm... how about we play the questions game?" The pnada paused sketching for a moment and closed one eye, gazing at the linx. "I'll ask a question and then it's your turn." Looking back down to the paper he added a few more things before turning it up and showing it to Haze. The quick sketch was of a headshot of the linx with an inking quill behind his head and a scroll in hand. "If ya want I could start it? I hope ya don't mind if I sketch once in a while, I can stop if it bothers you."

xx_Bullseye_xx Demyx: *blinks as Pip goes bye bye* huh?....*twitches wings, slowly starting to get up* What the hell is g---AHH! *scrambles back from teh hand, eyes wide* Malis Delnaria "Awww, is teh blue angel scared of a mean old troll?" She stands back up looking hurt. "Ah swear Ah don't bite on t' first date... unless ya want me to" The blue audio sits down cross legged and considers things, he bright red eyes watching the other audio. xx_Bullseye_xx "N-n-no biting!!"
The winged one gave a loud whimper, folding his wings around himself to hide. Well...at least the large appendages were good for something. Malis Delnaria "Ah sorry if ah be t' one t' scare ya." Malis' voice softens a bit as she makes a gesture with one hand. "It be my nature t' be trollish. Here, how ab't ah do somet'ing for ya? Make better yessums?" She reached into one of her pouches and pulls out a few pretty stones. Arranging them in a circle she mumbles over them a few times before closing her eyes and asking the spirits for a favor. A few more mumbles later she openes her eyes again and chants a few times, a glowing light comming from the middle of the circle of stones. xx_Bullseye_xx Truth be told, Demyx was frightened by many things. Malis was just the most recent of them.
"I-it's okay...you j-just s-startled me..."
Slowly, he folded his wings back to peek out at Malis. What he saw absolutely amazed him. Green eyes widened, the angelic audio directing his full attention to the glowing light. Malis Delnaria The troll continued to chant as the glowing grew brighter before it started to look like a miniture explosion of fireworks. Small bright sparks of colour floated around but all stayes within the confines of the stone circle. If any did fly out they quickly dissapeared as if burning out by the breeze. With the totem now stable, Malis took a peek up with one eye and grinned to see that she had caught the skittish audio's attention. "Ya like? It be a strength of heart totem. Ah can make many many totems, each look different depending on what they do." xx_Bullseye_xx "S-strength of heart? W-what's it do?"
Now the obvious answer would be strengthen one's heart. But...what if they didn't have one to strengthen? It was a perplexing question, and Demyx had to stop thinking about it before he confused himself. He'd just let Malis answer and go from there. Malis Delnaria The troll thought for a moment. "It be giving ya courage. Ya know, Strengthening your heart so that ya can figh many battles and not have a wavering of spirit." It be like that uplifting feel deep within ya that helps ya keep on goin' when t' times gets tough." Malis waved her hand through it, making the fireworks dissapate before peering at the other audio. "Ya liek water right?" With a new chanting she repeated the same motions but this time instead of a small fireworks display, a small fountain of water showed up from the circle of rocks. Like before the glistening water didn't go far beyond the confines before fading. "This be a healing totem. It helps people mend wounds and sickness during battle." xx_Bullseye_xx "I...w-wouldn't know about hearts, or strength in battle...."
Demyx grinned sheepishly, raising a paw to rub at his hair. He wasn't exactly a warrior, and he had no heart to feel strength from anyway. Or...at least the kind Malis was talking about.
Water, however, was something he was quite fond of. The blonde grinned happily at seeing someone else summon it. The totem intrigued him, and slowly the sitarist moved closer to examine it.
"R-really? That's pretty n-neat..." Malis Delnaria Smiling now the troll knew how to get the audio's attention, Malis contuned her totem as she felt it's healing powers manifest. A feeling of life and vigour overcame anyone who was in close proximity any small cuts and bruises would instantly heal while others would feel a little itchy as if the healing was excellerated somewhat. "Why thankies, ah learnt power of totems a long time ago from old shaman man who sat in very cold mountain. He teach me many ways of spirits and other things to help Malis troll be good strong hunter."

Malis hummed as she came in, the beat of the music in time with the stomps of her feet. It had been a good day and she had managed to catch quite a meal. It was skinned and dressed and was stored with some herbs for the grand feast she was working on. Now if only she could find some dragons... Looking around she realized there were more people here than last time. With a toothy grin she glanced around for an unsuspecting audio or other to pounce.
