Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Monster Mash))

Having finished her second can of beer and steadily working on her third and final can, Ebony could already feel the embarrassment and anxiety of the night floating away as the blood gently rushed to her head. She wasn’t a hardcore drinker, usually only having one glass to drink, but of course that was normally stronger and somehow she thought a few cans of beer wouldn’t be the same. She hadn’t comprehended that alcohol was alcohol no matter the form and if you weren’t use to drinking so much of it, well then you were screwed really.

Luckily, she’d fled the growing numbers in the kitchen and was alone. At least…that’s what she’d thought until those slated orbs caught sight of movement off in the not-so-far distance. Rising some from her slouched position on the floor in the corner, Ebony squinted so as to force the flashing lights out so she may try to make out the figures. Thinking she must have been hallucinating at the sight of people without any legs, the catwoman rubbed her eyes before checking again. Finally a bulb went off and the word Raevans came to mind. She relaxed once more into her comfy corner, but watched the two in something of awe. Ebony hadn’t been in contact with many of the Lab’s creations, but the ones she’d encountered were mostly male. Though Sevilin was very girly in looks, she’d learned from listening to the others that the bubbly Frei was indeed a he, so to be in the present of not one, but two obviously female Raevans was quite a treat. They were quite beautiful, even if their faces were covered up a bit by their costumes. A pang of jealousy took Ebony by surprise as she’d wondered whom their lucky guardians were. How she wanted a Raevan now! If only she could get away with stealing one…but even in her intoxicated state, the thief knew it would be a very foolish and stupid thing to try as there would be many complications. And Ebony wasn’t one for getting into things that were too overly complicated.

A sigh left her lips before they were met yet again with that of the cans.

((Shadow Chateau --> Pools of Doom))

"Tsk, two young men like yourself, never exposed to video games?" Alex tried not to react to 'orphanage,' having never known that about Isi. Well, truth be told, she knew little about the two males in front of her; the knowledge - or lack thereof - made her heart sink with guilt. "I blame it on my brother. It's a good way to pass the time, anyway. They're like visual books, the ones that I like." She allowed a thankful smile to Aphismet's praise, idly running her fingers over Munchies' hindquarters. "Thanks. I'm glad I fit in with Natsuki and Jae."

Which reminded her: didn't they have mischief to plan? Her green eyes gave off a secretive gleam, her smile shifting into a playful smirk. "Speaking of the ladies, I still have a date with them for Jun before the night is over." It was the politest way she could excuse herself so that the brothers could have their own time together. Sure, she had her own reasons, but watching both of them so close and not understanding the gap between them and herself...Alex never was very good prying, although she sorely wanted to.

Standing with a sweep of her gown, she cast the two an Ada-winning grin, a manifestation of play and promise. "You gents enjoy some peace and quiet, hmm?" A brief pause, followed by, "Aphismet, call me if you need anything, even just an ear to chew. You too, Isi, I'm not that far." Alex gave the seated men a lazy two-fingered salute, winking before moving towards the last place she'd seen her two sisters in trouble-making.

[[Pools of Doom]]

Roll 1

Rivener blinked as he watched the ball go WAY off course, sailing off into the darkness no where near the target. He cleared his throat and tried (in vain) to look like he meant to do that, ruffling his wings and glancing haughtily at whoever might be watching.

"Practice, warming up my arm," he muttered, picking up another ball with single-minded determination. He'd better get at least ONE shot on the target somewhere, or he'd never live it down. It would be humiliation city.

The Scorpion pulled back and threw again.

[[Pools of Doom]]

Roll 3

Rivener let the ball go, once again putting all his strength into it.

And once again, the exact same thing happened.

Rivener blushed furiously, embarrassed beyond words. He puffed out like an angry arachnid and scoffed once. "Stupid game!" he hissed, before floating off to a dark corner by the back porch, sulking with his arms crossed, bristling.

((Monster Mash -> Shadow Chateau -> Exit))

Sleep had a funny way of taking one by surprise, most especially in the most unusual and unexpected of places. Ebony had gone to turn over as she would have done in her own bed, but instead of meeting with the soft comfort of her silk covered pillows, her head took a one way ticket to hitting the hard dining room floor of the Delaran home. With effort, she managed to push herself back up to a sitting position while rubbing her now throbbing forehead. When did she fall asleep? How long had she been out? But most importantly…had anyone seen her? It would have been very embarrassing to say the least. She was still feeling fuzzy from the alcohol, which was made even more apparent when she’d tried to stand up, yet failed. Trying again, but much slower this time around, Ebony was able to stand. Big mistake though as now she was totally aware of the bright, flashing lights and pulsing music around her. She needed an exit and fast! Half jogging, half stumbling, the catgirl finally found her way back to the living room.

Ah yes, much better! And the exit wasn’t too far off now. All she had to do was make it there, but…that could prove more difficult than one would think. She wasn’t exactly in the condition to walk a straight line then and the living room wasn’t exactly empty. No person in their right mind would allow her to leave the place like she was, but it wasn’t like she planned to drive. All she wanted was to crawl into the backseat of her car and away from prying eyes. Or did she? Ebony couldn’t tell anymore and shook that onyx clad head as a means to clear it. Of course that only aided in making her dizzier and she ended up ramming into a chair. And if that hadn’t brought enough attention to herself, she had to go and try to fix the chair while shushing it. Yes, not exactly her proudest moment.

((Added on to finish out the exit since there was no response. Sorry ya’ll! Just have to catch her another time. Hopefully when she’s not so tipsy, lol. ))

Ah, but it seemed that lady luck was on her side tonight, if only momentarily abandoning her for a good portion of it earlier, as no one had seemed to take notice of her drunken stupor. Or they merely didn’t care. Well why ruin a perfectly good exit with overly rated contemplation at a time like this. After a few bumpy detours through the living room, Ebony finally found the exit and not long after that of her car. Oh how those grey eyes sparkled in the moonlight as she scrambled to get her keys into the door. After several attempts, she heard the familiar click and crawled into the backseat. Mmm, yes, although somewhat cold, leather interior was much better than a hardwood floor. A sigh of relief escaped her lips as she curled into a ball and drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
