Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chuckling darkly, the shadowy Wraik shook her head. "Likely," answered Venetia, picking up one of her feet to look at her claws. "Or he'll run into a lady who can take care of herself and wants no part of his nonsense. Either way, should be entertaining." Her glowing white eyes slid back to Pyrrhos curiously. "You seem....familiar. Have we met?" After a moment, she seemed to shake her head, "No...nevermind. I don't think so." Shame...he seemed to know how to make something worthwhile of one of these foolish gatherings.




Pazi had been momentarily distracted during all the introductions by a stumbling, drunken Wini stepping on his tail feathers. The nerve! He'd just been about to go give that cad a good talking to, then remembered the lovely feathered lady nearby. Wouldn't do to look like some sort of ruffian when trying to woo her. Besides, he had to fight for her attention at this point! Blast these hovering Winis!

Clearing his throat, he moved to rejoin the conversation about the time the lovely lady said that she was having a marvelous time. "That's wonderful to hear, Maeta. Afterall, what sort of party would it be if you weren't enjoying yourself? Tell me, would you like some punch? I could have my minio--assistant get us some."







Though he'd had a couple of glasses of punch and started to mellow out a bit, Rahab felt a tingling at the back of his neck for a moment. Someone was talking about him. His eyes narrowed, pretty sure he knew who. Ugh, little mini pest.

A bit hazy from the punch, he decided he needed some more to balance out this feeling of irritation. He moved towards the punch bowl, inadvertently forgetting to check his wings as usual and brushing against another Winiko. It wasn't much, but he was normally hyper-sensitive to any sort of contact. He did recoil on reflex, but realizing it was his fault this time, didn't react further except to mutter, "Err...sorry about that. 'Scuse me." Only belatedly did he notice the other had one eye covered...another two-eyes in a room full of three...and four he supposed, with these Wraik skulking about.

"Tiburon," he supplied helpfully, with a smile. It was obvious she'd had some of the punch herself, where he was only just starting to feel a light buzz, she was succumbing to its effects quicker. Either she'd had more or wasn't used to it. Either way, it was very amusing to him. "....and yes, yes I would. What about you? Have you misplaced your cup? You should get another and drink with me," he says with a wink.



Janus barely reacted to being brushed by the other Winiko. It was crowded and he expected it, especially near the food table. He only glanced to Rahab after hearing the quiet apology, and saw the other pause to eye his, well, eyes. He took the brief moment to appraise the other in return, who had a curious third eye of his own. "No problem," he replies, then figures he should at least attempt to socialize a little. "Name's Janus," he says. Anything exciting happen here tonight so far? I was a little late to the party," he admits.

Giggling at Luca's friendly joke about Anne, Maeta felt relived when he revealed he didn't know many of these winiko here. "I'm glad, it wouldn't be fair if I was the only one enjoying myself. Plus it is nice to know I am not the only one who is unfamiliar with the others at this party."

Her attention then moved so Pazi who was offering her some punch. "Oh, yes, that would be lovely thankyou...Your assistant?" She looked around the room for anyone who could be considered a 'assistant'. She wasn't aware of any butlers that would be attending the party...

Janus glanced in the direction Rahab indicated. "That is... a rather lot of minis. I didn't know so many existed, to be honest...seems they all found this party." He nodded at the other. "Drunken song is unfortunately a side effect of affairs such as this. Drunken anything, really. Oh well, entertainment, I suppose." He idly wondered where the safest spot would be if such shenanigans occurred. He shrugged, taking another sip of his punch and reaching for some more snacks.

"I uhh... yes it seems to have wandered off." Eden smiled and topped Tiburon's cup off. He was unnerving her terribly, but she was enjoying herself too, she decided. The urge to run and hide was fading fast. Having found the extra cups, she poured herself some more of Lala's special punch. She shot another shy smile at her new wraik acquaintance and took a big swallow of the drink. The tingle on the way down was fun!

"Oh I was supposed to be refilling..." She had to suppress another giggle at her own forgetfulness. Why is everything so funny tonight anyway? Lifting the still mostly full jug, she started to tilt the punch into one of the large bowls when a screaming winiko blur flew from under the table! Startled as the demon dashed past her, the jug tumbled to the floor as she hoped backward to avoid a collision. Punch flew everywhere, and Eden plopped flat on her rump with a look of bewildered shock. O:

Tiburon smiled charmingly at her, trying to ease away any nervousness she had around him. He thanked her for the refill and took another drink as she mentioned refilling... well, the punch bowl he assumed. But then he winced at the scream that came out of nowhere, and blinked at the blur that went by him. He managed to hold onto his drink, but the girl he'd been talking to was more startled than he, though, and before he knew it, she and the jug were on the floor, and he was splashed with the punch. It took him a moment to recover. But then he smirked, and then, he couldn't help it, he laughed. Oh, he wasn't laughing at her, he was laughing at the whole situation. "What a fun way to share the punch!" he declares, and then moves over to her. "Here, let me help you up."

Once the initial shock wore off, Eden started giggling. Tiburon's comment, and dripping fur just made it worse and she laughed aloud. The spreading puddle was soaking her furry behind, and Bastiana was apparently the blur to blame. This struck her as hilarious. Eden flailed around a little, helplessly laughing, as she tried to get up. Between leaning on Tiburon and accepting Bast's offered paw, she managed to get to her feet. But she was so amused by the whole thing, what a mess!

"Its.. ok..I'm ok!" She said between giggles, trying to compose herself. "So much for the refills....oh I didn't knock my cup over though!" This caused another giggle fit and a bit of a snort before Eden could contain herself again. She daintily flicked punch droplets from her paw and eyed the wraik, then the jug on the ground. It was plastic, and had only bounced not shattered, thankfully. "Are you ok...?" She included Bastianna in her questioning look as well, seeing as she had been the one screaming after all. Something about a lime under the table?
