Danica raised a curios eyebrow and followed his gaze (or at least, the general direction of his sunglass shielded vision) and spotted the little green creature flitting above them. A bird? What on earth is a bird doing in here? Well, she guessed, if the doors were going to be open all the time then something was bound to slip in. At least it was a bird rather than, say, a racoon. Although there was that dangerous possibility it might poop on someone, and it seemed to be staying directly underneath the pair of them. “Eh… it’s a bird. And I think it is watching us.”
It looked like it was holding something in its beak. Some kind of plant… “Is that mistletoe?” She wondered out loud. It certainly appeared to be; although she had only seen it a few times before. A mistletoe wielding bird? It certainly seemed like something that would turn up here. She took a few steps around Napoleon and watched as the bird moved to remain directly between them. Lovely. It wasn’t really going to hang around until she kissed him was it? The poor kid didn’t even like to be touched! Just her luck. But she really liked this dress and bird poop was a pain in the rear to get out of fabric. “Eh…” she looked awkwardly at her partner, “have you ever heard of--,that is how much do you know about--, um… has anyone mentioned mistletoe to you? Well, there is a tradition around here that--” well this was just unnecessarily awkward, “oh, bugger that. I’m sorry.”
The redhead leaned forward and gave her little partner a light peck on the cheek.

Straffe saw his quarry, a sudden glint of the target out of the corner of his eye. What was the technical term for this? He had to drop 'the package?' Yes, this was the right words for it. Chocolate was inbound with secret ingredients? Hack was moving through the crowd at a rate of nots, it was hard to keep up, finally, however, Straffe saw his chance as Hack came to a stop. He pulled out the thin roll of paper from his back pocket. It was on that computer paper that they had in Sewit. It hadn't been too hard to get some. http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c232/sweetdeily/hackpressie.gifThe little ribbon holding the paper closed had a tiny card, signed by Santa. He brushed past Hack, trying to subtly and stealthily slip it into the hero's jacket.

Khoric Timothy Baasis
------
Khoric couldn't read the girl's eerie smiles, but he knew better than to trust that sort of face. He wondered what obscenities she was probably thinking about him. Whatever high-horse she was sitting on, he was sure never to reach that level. Why fight it?
-
As the girl beside him decided what she wanted to do, Khoric remained statue-like staring at the crowds of people. "Why am I here again..." He wondered aloud. "I hope it's over soon."
His eyes had traveled around the room until they briefly stopped at the exit towards the balcony. Maybe he would take a breather out there later away from these crowds of people, but his thoughts were disrupted by:
“I’m tired of being a lady,”
And the tug on his arm from the girl beside him. Did he forget she was there? No, but it may have seemed like that on the outside from his disregard of her being there. Her sudden lack of manner proving how spoiled and selfish she was, Khoric wrinkled his nose at this.
“I’m tired, bored and annoyed, I demand you to dance with me.”
“Oh I didn’t get your name, but not important. Show me your skills.”
Like I would tell you my name and why do I need to oblige, was what Khoric wanted to say to her but remembering her status he immediately diverted from this statement with "I can't dance.", a sour note in a semi-low growl and a slight downward curve of the corners of his mouth.
His body moved reluctantly to follow her onto the dance floor, and when they were finally there... And she twirled in front of him. Hand out, waiting. But clearly unable to wait any longer for his awkwardness. His head twitched looking left and right before returning his gaze down at her. There were so many people on the dance floor.... His discomfort growing.
“You know how to do this right? The dancing and the kissing on my hand part, in case you head is sleeping.”
"Why do I need to kiss your hand?" Was his blunt question, his mouth still in a slight frown. Given his imposition of being unable to turn this girl down, he forced his hand to meet hers. That smile of hers, so sweet it was making him sick. The stiffness escalating from his feet upward. He wondered how he would ever be able to dance in such a state. His eyes darted left and right, eyebrows scrunched downward. This girl, dressed in high fashion and expensive tastes, of all people she decided to give her unpleasant company to... It was to the one person that couldn't possibly stand her even at a distance. Perhaps that's what thrilled her so much. Thoughts and curiosities whizzed around in Khoric's head, so many possible reasons.

Violet had been rather spaced, her attention caught on something shiny in the area. Such beautiful decorations she mused to herself before something snapped her from her thoughts, the call of her code-name and a light touch to her shoulder had the disguised alien spinning around, her Victorian ball gown fanning out with her as she went.
Hack, she ran the name by herself looking over the tall dark headed male, admiring the scar across his nose before smiling a lazy smile and nodding on an answer of, "hello...Hack, of course.." Violet peered around and noticed some of the women taking their partners under the arm before they were led from the dance floor, so stepping up she looks to Hack expectantly and offers her hand out, waiting for him to lead her away, assuming then out of sight her ear piece would be fixed. "...Ready, fat kid?" Violet asked innocently with a smile.
Hopefully this would fix that static sound that she was hearing....
((Ffffft sorry thats short and wthish Mori my brain kind of lol died today ))

Juno Tsing || Sharp Shooter
----
It seemed like not much time had passed since his leaving his partner Clow when Juno saw in the distance Hack. Being contorted with pain caused by Dr. Flo. What an interesting turn of events, but then after a moment longer of watching he realized what Hack had done. And chuckled. Was he spiking drinks...? At a charity event for orphans... Brilliantly idiotic. He supposed Hack won a point for brave stupidity though.
Only just moments away from bumping into him and inquiring how he'd managed to escape the Control Room so soon, someone caught his attention through the corner of his eye. It was Anemone. His head flitted immediately to her direction and by the looks of the bubbly glass in her hand she had now just become a victim of Hack's not-so-innocent pranking. He would make sure to give his good buddy a knuckle noogie later for her sake, even though she was 18... Drinking underage was still a bit of a no-no. At least for someone as pure as she was, though he had to admit that it was partially amusing.
For now though, he would go and see if she was alright. He wanted to grab at least one dance with her tonight as it were and what better opportunity than the present?
Schmoozing his way through the crowds and sliding right beside the girl, he greeted her "Hey there Anemone." with a bright smile and a gentle tone. "Enjoy the dance?"
Juno gently put his hand on her hand holding the glass to prevent her from taking any more of this dangerous liquid. Who knows what such an innocent girl would say or do under its influence. He slipped the glass smoothly from her hand into his own. "Don't forget, you owe me one." He set the glass down on a table nearby.

xxxxAnemone had been so involved in watching the bubbles in her drink rise, pop and fizz, she didn't notice Juno approach her until he called out a greeting. "O-oh- -" Anemone jumped in spot, startled by her teacher's sudden appearance. She peered over her slipping glasses to look up at him, eyes ever so slightly glazed over. "Greetings." Ane managed to croak out, eyes trailing up to the ceiling after acknowledging the lanky figure before her. "It was fine," Answering his question, Anemone took another shaky sip from her glass before politely returning interest. "And yours?"
xxxxShe flinched as Juno touched her hand, but otherwise remained still and allowed him to take the nearly empty glass from her. "It tasted odd..." Ane commented, lacing her fingers together behind her back. Her eyes remained fixed above them, mesmerized by the thousands of twinkling lights above her. The intoxicated girl squinted, turning the orbs of light into star bursts against the tips of her eyelashes. Anemone seemed more distracted than usual, eyes flitting around from one interesting thing to the next. "Owe you one?" Anemone emptily echoed Juno, eyes still locked on various things above them. It took a moment for the meaning of Juno's words to click, but she got it a few moments later. "Oh. A dance?" She already knew his answer, but for some reason she was just blurting everything out... Anemone pressed her lips together, unsure of what to do. "I'm still... feeling slightly faint." Anemone pushed her glasses up her face lightly, magnifying her uncharacteristically droopy eyelids. "M-maybe I should get some fresh air." She probably could do with some, and getting away from the dance floor certainly seemed appealing. She returned her gaze back to Juno, cocking her head lazily as she waited for his response.

 The mistletoe bird had been resting on a chandelier when suddenly a bright bob of green came into its view. Swooping down from its perch, it fluttered about the two heads of Hack and Violet waiting expectantly.....

Juno Tsing || Sharp Shooter

"Oh, my dance was lovely. Thanks for asking." Juno was speaking in a very soothing lullaby sort of way, like a breeze that gently caresses your face. He could tell how spacey she was behaving. It seemed like the alcohol was working a lot quicker than he expected, granted how sheltered she was... There shouldn't be any real surprise here.
Juno nodded complacently as she asked him about the dance. She seemed captured by all the bright lights above him, which he glanced up at following her gaze. It was so unusual seeing this normally shy wallflower become so... What was even the correct term to describe this new change in behavior? Dazed? Confused? But he knew it would be very embarrassing for her if too many people took notice of this.
"I'm still... feeling slightly faint."
"M-maybe I should get some fresh air."
"Yeah, that's probably a better idea." Being obliging, Juno put his arm gently around her, his hand on her shoulder and the other hand still holding onto her hand. Knowing this would most likely make her uncomfortable, he added "We wouldn't want you toppling over, now would we?
And with that he guided her through the crowds towards the balcony area.

"Thank you for the dance. It was...Enjoyable...Listen, you go ahead and enjoy yourself, I have someone I need to talk to."
And that was the reason why Zone and any of the undercover staff and students didn’t hear any announcements so far, probably, because Fat Kid was roaming around. Zone saw that Dr. Flo almost ripped Hack’s ear apart from his head full of antics.
“Nice!” he thought and smirked from what he saw. “Points for the cat-food…”
He glanced to the left and right, and saw most of the people stopped dancing.
“Looks like I’m out of here,” he muttered and walked out of the dance floor, carefully avoiding bumping into the guests.

_©ⓛⓐⓘⓡⓥⓔⓡⓔ ± ©ⓛⓞⓦⓡⓔⓨ ⓔⓘⓡ"Pfft, yeah right Juno," Clow snickered in response to his comments. Romancing someone? As if that was the sort of thing Clow would do...or could do. Or something. But Juno had already left and Clow hurried to the side as to not interrupt anyone else dancing. She still didn't see her dad or her brother yet, although she noticed some guests were still just arriving. 'I hope nothing has happened to them on the way over,' she thought in silence, then scanning the crowds for someone to talk to. She saw Danica far off with a extremely short blonde boy, and figured it was best not to disturb. She didn't see Anemone or Theo or even Isaac; they must all still be dancing too. To that, Clow sighed in her lonesomeness...until she noticed someone making headway towards teh buffet area, alone.
"...Right, I have something important to do," the young teen muttered lowly to herself, with brows furrowing into a frown. With tight fists and quiet determination clear in her eyes, Clowrey hurried after Zone to the buffet area. [EXIT]

The man felt something brush past his jacket pocket as he made his way towards the girl, but thought nothing of it. He'd discover that computer paper thing much later when he was alone in his room, and be adequately confused by the cryptic poem while wondering who on earth would send him such a thing...
===
"Uh, yeah, ready..."
Hack stared uncertainly when Freckles extended her hand, unsure of what to do. Was he supposed to shake it or something? That didn't seem like the reaction she was expecting though. He glanced towards where she was looking just now, spotted Juno and Ane exiting the dance floor (in a very intimate sort of manner too he might add), and BB heading towards the buffet, with feisty girl trailing after him, and several ladies milling around with men on their arms...
Oh. Was he... supposed to offer his arm...? He chuckled nervously, just about to do so, and maybe lead her to the buffet with that yummy spread for a bite, until he was distracted by a strange flapping noise. Tilting his head up to get a better look, he squinted as a brightly coloured bird chirped back at him from above.
"Mistletoe bird...?" he muttered, and then made a face when he realized what it signified.
Him, and Freckles, under a bird, carrying mistletoe.
... He had to kiss her, didn't he?
A lopsided grin cracked across his face as he glanced pointedly from the girl to the flapping bird and made jabbing motions at the fowl in the air.
"I'll fix your earpiece in a bit, but first things first..." He leaned in, lips puckered up and all ready to give the green haired girl a quick smooch on the cheek. Of course, the man with a one track mind thought nothing about asking for permission, or perhaps having the courtesy to inquire if she was one of the aliens who might be unaware of their human customs.
Nope, he simply dove in for the kill.
He would be entirely deserving of it if she decided to slap him.
===((welp, feel free to slap him Vi 8Dbbb I was gonna have him lead her somewhere until that fowl beast descended upon them soooo yeah))

KENNEDY OLIVER ""Yeah. You know. Being swag and stuff. Character."
Kennedy burst into laughter. Not a malicious laughter, but a good-natured giggle. It wasn't the idea of Vasquez dancing, no, but just him having "swag" of any kind. It gave her the image of Vasquez walking around adorned with chains and baggy jeans like an audacious rapper on television (or maybe just a certain clique at her school). It was too jarring of a look to take him seriously, but nonetheless it didn't deter her from leading him to the dance floor. She was just glad that he didn't refuse her. She knew that he was a shy kid (unlike her) and didn't really reach out for parties or social events so it wouldn't have been unheard of for him to want to stay on the sidelines.
His grip on her hand was assuring, but the song...was not. By some cruel twist of fate, the song had changed from a lively tune to a slow song (why, why now?) She definitely couldn't shuffle to this. She was not a slow dancer by any means and something about that just felt weird. It seemed more like something couples would do (n-not that they weren't each other's date to this dance).
"W-well maybe we can just wing it?" she managed to stutter out before putting her hand on his shoulder, "slow dances aren't hard right?"

Napoleon // "Pinky"Napoleon kept his eyes on the bird above them. He hunched over as it fluttered above his head. Nap hadn't had a chance to interact with any local wildlife as of yet, tending to stay in the room assigned to him for the most part. " A bird? What's Mistletoe?" He straightened slowly as Dani moved around him. The strange little creature was staying right between them. Dani didn't seem frightened, just concerned. It probably wasn't dangerous then. Nap was tempted to try catching it. He was sure with just a bit of luck he could easily grab it before it flew away. " What's it want?" Nap considered the move, hesitating as Dani started to stutter over her words. Nap cocked his head at her, unable to make sense of what she was saying. " No!" Nap jerked back and swatted at Dani as she leaned in to kiss him on the cheek. He stumbled back and tripped over himself. Nap had had enough, He picked himself up off the floor and turned back to Dani. His cheeks flushed with anger. " Why do you need to be so close?! " Nap's voice broke on the last word. He had meant humans in general but the words came out directed at her. " Can't you just stay away?!" He flinched as another body bumped into him from behind. Nap danced sideways, trying to avoid others as he tugged the uncomfortable suit back into place. He was just about ready to tear the damn thing off and leave.

Ah... hang on, what just happened? A moment ago Isaac was standing near Princess and asking her to dance, and then he'd got swept away in someone's giant dress... poof thing. Now he was halfway across the room, making indignant noises as he tried to separate himself from the shiny fabric.
He managed to free himself with minimal fuss (though he did earn a few looks from people who he was vaguely suspicious of-- he knew that 'I'm going to pinch your cheeks' look anywhere.) He panicked quietly, doing his best to keep a straight face as he bee-lined straight for the exit.
Avoiding the big dresses was surprisingly difficult. And sure, maybe he was getting the attention he'd wanted earlier-- but he hadn't wanted it like this! Isaac ran up the stairs as quickly as he could, skipping a step or two at the time because-- well, wow. What just even happened?
Frazzled, Isaac turned towards the exit to find a different room and catch some air. He caught sight of Clowrey and Black Blood over by the buffet tables, and at least he knew those two and it wasn't crowded over there-- and so he braved the crowd once more to make his way over there.

Violet waited expectantly with her hand out, swaying a little from side to side with the playing music. Dancing...she would enjoy this more later, it was decided. Attention moving back to Hack when she heard him speak. Mistletoe bird? What was a mistletoe? She knew or at least believed a bird to be a winged creature here on earth, most were small from what she was told though again, Mr. Kitty was not fuzzy and did not have whiskers so she could be very wrong. Then again...he could have had a watch like hers she would find him later to see if this was the case!
Dark brown orbs peered up towards the direction Hack was staring and gesturing at, meeting the cute green little bird. It was love at first sight, that Mistletoe bird was...the cutest thing she had ever seen in her life, well other than a one legged rinoabonia. There was a lazy sounding aw that slipped past her lips, said lips stretching into a wide smile as she peeled her gaze from the bird to look back at Hack.
".....?" Violets head tilted instantly when she saw the older man, his words a little confusing to the little alien, what did he have to do first? Blinking Violet got fairly worried about her companion when it looked like his lips had swollen! Violet quickly pushed out her hands to catch Hack's upper chest as the man started to fall forward towards her, though was a little late in doing so and ended up getting caught on the cheek with his kiss. Her fingers gripped the fabric of his tux tightly, eyes widening. Perhaps his lips were not swollen after all, this...this felt very much like a ...kiss. But...why?
Violet did know what a kiss was, she had a boyfriend back home and in fact by her own home worlds definition of adult she was already at age to be considered for marriage. Though she was a little unsure as to why the man was, maybe kissing her. This was most odd, she thought to herself while his lips pressed to her soft cheek, did humans kiss people so freely? Was she suppose to kiss him back? Was he some kind of pervert? Should she hit him? What..was could she just..hm. Baffled was a good word for what the poor little alien was feeling, her fingers released the fabric and she gave Hack a rather demeaning pat to the chest. "That..was nice..thank you?" Violet blinked at him and shifted back awkwardly, under her disguise her thistle colored face was a bright green in its blushing state.
She didn't try to take his hand again, only giggled lowly, nervously and looked off towards the ever popular buffet. There were a fair amount of people there now, her nose twitched in a cute manner as a hint of something wonderful caught it. Hungry. Violet was getting a little hungry, glancing back to Hack she offered a smile and nodded to the man, "...hungry?" ((Vi's soo to much of a wimp to slap anyone xDD ))
