Welcome to Gaia! ::

Maria curtsied, accepting his hand out of formality. Were she allowed to act upon her suspicions, she would've politely declined and investigated his intentions further to the best of her ability. "Thank you." she had replied to his compliment. "Yes, I suppose we do." she then stated quietly, wondering what he had to say.

Marcie smiled at how easily ashle had accepted, she would have thought she was going to put up a little bit more of a fight, she just took a picture of the dancing couple and placed the camera away, she was beginning to feel like paparazzi so it was better to look for raven, there was quiet a few number of suits inside the ball room but none of them looked familiar, she walked to the entrance hall to see if any of the guys in uniform there looked like Raven.

"Are you going to let me see the patients now Henry or should we wait until they die?" Ace of clubs asked as henry hadn't let her in yet, she also noticed eight's presence, when had he started tagging along, was he not supposed to be at the ball? he was a sneaky fellow, she had to grant him that, she hadn't really noticed his pretense until now.

((i made a drawing of Marcie's mask ^.^ Mask))

Elizabeth scurried in to the room quick and gracious like a shadow but when she took a look at who the 'patients' where her soul almost fell to the floor, she set to work quietly, nobody had mentioned 2 gunshots, her bullet had been a clear and non explosive one but she didn't know about the second one, she took out a small recipient and filled it with alcohol proceeding to heat it and placed her tools inside, they could have dirtied from the journey "Have you done anything to them yet?" she asked in general, she needed to know what had been done already.

Elizabeth sighed, she didn't wish to speak, it was just routine question, she looked at the state Victor was in, he had been damaged a lot more than he had been before and yet he lay there with closed eyes but breathing, was he unconscious? was he awake? she started to unfasten his blood soaked pants, she would inspect the leg wound first, amy had cleaned them but she hadn't stop the bleeding.

((sorry lyka i must have not read it correctly, will edit))

((no no, it was my fault completely, thank you for pointing it out, already edited.))

Jack gracefully lead Maria to the dancing crowd, leaving his doll behind. He placed a hand on her waist and held her delicate hand out. The musicians seemed to be playing a waltz of some sort.

"Do you know how to waltz, Your Highness?" he said quietly yet audibly. He pulled her closer, the smirk of a trickster playing on his face.

Gestalt pressed his back to a wall, blending in with a shadow. He kept his gaze on the Jack of Diamonds. Jack wasn't the promiscuous type; he knew that well. Sexual contact, love, and even marriage were not on his list of priorities. Despite this, Jack wasn't alien to using a woman sexually to get what he wanted. This was a tactic Jack saw as a last resort and kept it to a minimum.

The Red Queen, the woman Jack had almost pressed against his body, was a young woman. She was eighteen and Jack was thirty-one. Despite being a cruel man, Jack had some ethics. At least that's what Gestalt was hoping. Knowing Jack, he would discuss things with her in a very suave and persuasive manner, just as he usually did when he wanted something from someone.

Gestalt placed his mask on his face and tied the ribbons, shielding his clothed eyes with fringes of silver hair. He would have to keep watch on Jack and make sure he not only did anything rash with Maria Heartte, but that he was physically stable. Hopefully, Jack would remember that alcohol was bad for his anemia.



Raven gazed at the large ceiling of the entrance hall, humming tunelessly to himself. He could feel many eyes on him as the buzzing of voices and tapping of footsteps passed him. He was a Suit out of place at the moment.

He sighed deeply and looked ahead of him. A woman had stepped in that had caught his eye, a woman in a dress of emerald, a butterfly mask, and long rabbit ears. Raven's heard fluttered madly. The woman may have been masked, but he recognized those ears, that body, and what little bit of the face that showed.

He walked briskly to the woman who caught his eye. "Good evening, madame," Raven said with a playful smirk, bowing slightly and holding out a hand. "May I escort you to the main hall?"



Siyu kept glancing at Shinsei as people passed him. They had barely the chance to talk with all the people that came in, but the look in their masked eyes spoke enough words to make his heart pound madly and his head spin.

He gently placed a hand on the arm Shinsei had cut to make a blood bond all those years ago. Hopefully, the people arriving will slow down. I want this night to last forever.

Marcie smiled recognizing the voice at once, she took Raven's hand but walked slowly to the opposite direction of the main hall "I'm a little overwhelmed by the people around, dear stranger" she said playfully, the mask covering the smirk on her lips "might you you be as kind as to keep me company for some fresh air, the rose garden perhaps?" she asked more as a plea than a question.

Ace of clubs operated on victor's leg careful not to leave any fragments of bullet inside, the bullet had broken a couple arteries and barely missed the bone, she had to suture a couple veins before bandaging the area, the bullet on the arm on the other hand had already been removed so she just made sure the wound was clean before bandaging it and turning to victors hands, would he regain consciousness soon? he had lost a lot of blood but making a transfusion here was quiet dangerous for both patient and donor... "What am i going to do with you Victor?" she asked as she cleaned his hands, he had some minor cuts in there from gripping the knife before cutting the ropes.
