finn derouen | 25/25 | grumping about his outfit

The ragamuffin turned away, and Finn didn't pay much more mind to their retreating back - he was still particularly focused on his abrupt change of clothes. He shot a dirty look to Aleksy, noting that his clothes had also changed but they looked badass. Why was Aleksy a samurai prince and Finn was femming it up?

"Uh, Finn Derouen," he said, eying Leslie's hand for a moment before shaking it. "I'm dating your boss."

Not exactly the kind of conversation he wanted to have when he'd just been magically redressed against his will into clothes that made him terribly uncomfortable, but fortunately, it was interrupted. Granted, it was interrupted by a pair of talking cats calling them all to attention, but he'd take it.

Finn reached for Aleksy's hand, and then realized what he was doing and stopped short. "So it's Clue," he said. "Well, not exactly Clue. Kind of Clue. I was never good at Clue."

Zac Bantock || 25/25 || darn it majestic cats. - question

Gloriously fluffy cat, Cheshire smiling cats...and a Murder Mystery.
And they were the only ones who could stop it.

"...well, if we're the only ones who can stop it, I have a feeling there will -absolutely- be a murder tonight." He groaned.
"I think we can handle brave, but masses of humans aren't exactly known for their wits." He moved to rub his face with his hand and got mostly mask.

There was something that they had said though. 'There will be agents of YOUR Enemy'.

"You say Our Enemy, does that mean you're neutral parties? Or that you side with our Enemy?"

Shun Kuroda 25/25 | Being unhappy with small talking animals

Shun caught Jeremiah's gaze, then let out a sigh. He had recalled all that the older detective told him of what he knew was to come in August. Someone was indeed on the hunt. And their prey could very well be the third teen. Or it could be someone else entirely. He wasn't even sure if Adoelle was here. It was hard to say what their chances of stopping this were as a whole. A few people here were... questionable as to how helpful they'd actually be.

While he waited for the cats (this really wasn't helping with the whole talking animals thing) to dole out answers, he just nodded to Chel. For once, he agreed with her.

This was messed up. But this was the other side.

Vega Hardy: 25/25 - Excited and talking to Autumn

When her attention was turned by talking cats, she arched an eyebrow. Autum with deer spots and horns was one thing. Talking cats like from anime she watched at the one guy's house she knew, that was so, "Cool."

She turned to Autumn and just smirked. This kind of thing was her jam. "Hey, you wanna partner up for this shindig or you got someone you're hoping to be here?" During the first part of their conversation, Autumn seemed like she was looking for someone. So if she really wanted to find them, Vega wouldn't stop her. There was a mystery to be solved and she wanted to figure it out. These kinds of things could be so inspirational for her.

Lily Babineaux: 25/25 - Addressing the quest-giving cat

Lily groaned softly at Nathaniel's question, using her free hand to palm her forehead. "You know, normally I would have said 'No, that's definitely weird and not how that's supposed to work', but I guess that's just the norm and I'm the one that's weird," she said dryly, her ears twitching flat. It occurred to her that she was being cryptic again, so she looked back to her date with an apologetic shrug. "Sorry, shouldn't be looking superpower horse in the mouth. My thing is when I'm here, I can do full on animal if I want to, but the trade-off is no speaking, and everyone else here cheats."

Maybe she should have been less open about her abilities with someone who had just realized magic was real about five minutes ago, but the whole situation still made her so salty.

Nevertheless, her ears flickered up when the cat began to address the audience, supplying the real reason for their collective invitations. It all felt a little..too scripted to be real. "So you're telling me that inside those doors is a party with all the phenomenal cosmic powers in Spookyville, who are super badass right up until it's murder time, so you call in the cavalry...of human derps." To make a point, she vaguely gestured to herself and the assembled company, her eyes unimpressed under her half-crumbled mask. "Sounds fake, but okay."

jeremiah mercer || 25/25 || cutthroat dinner party >/ asking another question to kittirs
nasir vasile || 25/25 || not digging this

Somehow Jeremiah was not surprised. Mostly because moonset was the unmasking and if there was going to be a murder ... The detective lieutenant let out a breath, glancing briefly to those around him and then to Algie.

It would be like other ashdown to force people to be part of something where someone had to die for the Enemy. That this was the way it was but he hated it.

"Are you saying that there will be bloodshed no matter what?" he asked the cats again. "Or that we can prevent it entirely."

Nasir was simply keeping close to Wil, face paling under the veil and a hand lifting to rub at his scarred bicep.

Chris Watts || 25/25 || Standing to the side, watching

Chris had, for once in his life, been a little late to something. A phone call that had gone a little too long and a bit of a dressing mishap, but he had managed to throw everything together in order to show up fast enough to see the cats. He now stood off to the side slightly awkwardly, just trying to piece everything together and find someone that was familiar. Hyejin had jumped at the chance to dress Chris and so he was in a rather flowery and ornate mask, a flower crown perched in his hair, and as for the outfit... he was just thankful it was a formal event so that it wouldn't be seen as too odd.

"This sacrifice, would it be considered a tithe?" Chris finally asked the cats, frowning deeply. The thought had come to mind as he had listened, mind going back to the stories about fae that he had read in preparation for this, particularly the fairy queen Titania. It seemed that they going to come in handy, although he wasn't entirely pleased about that.
