The neon angel stalked over to the girl in the cloak, probably the closest to her own age. "Hey. So, do you if there's stuff to drink or something?"

Acelr The Knave of Clubs was strolling slowly through the crowd, juggling... along the way, clubs or the various sorts bounced off Arthur, the cat with the toothy grin, the Knight (with a sharp ringing), the tree next to the the hidden Batman, and Xeen's mask. wink Pausing the stroll by the goddess, Cloak, and Alice without bothering to slow the juggle, the Knave said, "Pardon, ladies, may I amuse?" One could not tell from the costume or the voice whether it was a man or a woman. The neon angel lit down near dead center of the park and looked around. The angel was short, and the tight neon skin showed an adolescent girl. ...Probably. The Goddess nodded, "please do, could use a bit of amusemnt." She picked at her pomegranate as she watched the juggling. One of the golden curls fell out of place in her hair, having been splashed by too much fountain water. The gold paint bled away, leaving the dark red curl visible against her other locks. A dimple shined in her quick smile, and pale grey eyes sparked with amusement from behind the gold and white mask.

Acelr Spritekin Acelr The butterfly girl nodded to the queen with a hesitant curtsy and passed wide-eyed into the crowds. Like so many, she took Miran to be Draco at first, but something stopped her. Why would Draco come as himself? Yes, it is an easy costume, but didn't he have another one? She turned to ask him. "Excuse me," the girl began in a light, polite voice, "I wondered... Mi--! Uh, um, uh...m. Sorry, Mister, ah, well--nevermind. You're-- yes? You are? I'm sorry to have interrupted you... at..." She looked around, realizing he had not been in the middle of discussion. "...Your night... Are you here alone, then? Yes, of course you are. Sorry, I... Are you really..? Um..." She seemed bewildered, a thousand thoughts trying to make their way past her lips before she discarded them. The Butterfly stared at him for a moment, then shivered and looked down, embarrassed. "Pious says hello. Are you, did you really..." She looked back up, the curiosity burning in her eyes. "Was it really a book that did it? The," her hands fluttered, "...stuff?" A 3 Musketeers Bar waddled in through the crowd, bumping in literally EVERYONE. It couldn't see, you see. wink Being a giant candy bar with legs.

Just before the barrier was set--or was it just after?--a tall woman in a gray three piece suit with brightly colored toucan mask entered the park. Hair bound into a tight bun and rather obviously colored blood red, this woman carried an infant in swaddling clothing with a sleep mask over his tiny face and arrived in the company of 5 year olds Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy.

For the real queen of hearts' pleasure, the Knave varied the juggle to go higher and fall in a pattern. From the angle of those at the fountain, it would look like the clubs were spiraling around each other and the twirled up and down through the air.

The other cloaked girl (sans moth broach) slipped away from the Goddess and the others. The bright lights suddenly became a bit much for her senses, giving her a small headache. She moved past the punch fountain, past the dancers, past the music and into the darker shade of the hedge maze.
As she cleared the lights and noise she let out a long sigh, and tipped back her hood. She clattered the mask to the ground, her face enjoying the cool breeze. She closed her golden eyes for a moment, but the wounds on her back and arms burned like the sun on her homeworld, and would not let her relax.
Sahira walked deeper into the maze, and almost smiled at the shadows dancing between the foliage and the ground. There was always something peaceful and beautiful about the shadows, and midnight walks.
The peace was partially shattered as she caught something from the corner of her eye. It would have seemed innocent enough to most who viewed it, but she noted the shadows grow darker around the hedges. A small chill went up her spine, and she turned to leave the maze, only to find it had readjusted itself, and she was lost.

She offered the candies to the two children, gave a quick bow, and moved away.

Spritekin Miran's eyes flash a soft blue a moment but go back to their pale white as he just smiles a bit. "...Pious I take it has an eye kept on me then eh?" he asks curiously. "And as far as fusing me with Seraphi....yes its true." he says nodding, not afraid of revealing parts of his past that could get him into trouble. The Butterfly nodded at his question of Pious. "...I know it's not a common thing of which to speak," she said carefully, speech changing as she tried to be more polite, "and yet I should like to hear of the story sometime. One may hear rumors of change and read tales of tall tales involving a volume ancient, yet this is not truth and fact to me counted upon. Pious saying hello--that is merely that she has spoken of you, in so that I know she is your friend and would ask me to say thus if I met you. She does not tell another's tale."

The music and lights were begining to make her a bit light headed, but Ruby paid no attention to it, enjoying the feeling as much as she did twirling in rapid circles.

Spritekin The Knight in shining Armor glances around and spots the bushes a moment and the music change and begins to grow suspicious, fire burning in his eyes but concealed under the steel face gaurd. Something wasnt right at all, not right in the least.

In the background against a shaded wall, what looked to be a queen of clubs, glared over the surrounding guests. Her full mask covered the look of disgust, but the heat of it could be felt by anyone who glanced her direction.
Further hidden at the gates of the park stood the queen of spades, watching her plan run smoothly. Her long black hair reflected the lights, her face mask a simple white and black. The queen's dress was straight, and plain black, with a single white spade across the chest. Occasionaly a green moth dropped from fluttering at a lamplight, to land on her shoulder, and dissapear soon after.

Eulalia Danae Ruby let out a loud "ooooh," always one to thoroughly enjoy a show, so long as it was sparkly and interesting enough. She kept her attention on the spiraling clubs, occasionaly munching on pomegranates, and gently kicking her feet back and forth on the bench. The music and lights were begining to make her a bit light headed, but Ruby paid no attention to it, enjoying the feeling as much as she did twirling in rapid circles. "Madam." The clubs stopped completely, the Knave catching each one as it came down with a flourish and ending the whole thing in a signaturely ornate bow. During this, the Knave spoke urgently, "Be not lulled, queen. You are unmasked, and soon the guests shall notice. Watch the traps of foreign kind..." The Knave notched all the clubs in a belt at the waist and did one standing flip for her before walking away on his or her or its hands like a jester.
