Enoh Love
It'd been a bit of a surprise to see the twins running at him eagerly. The way they had carried on, he thought they'd seen a zombie, not...been given an invitation to a festival. Not that he knew what a Festival was, of course; that piece of knowledge was given by Jack. As Jack sometimes did, he made the whole ordeal sound amazingly awesome; it was enough to turn two pairs of pleading eyes at the Cadaver Teen, both begging him in their own little way to be able to go.
The problem was? It was during the day.
Anon never went outside in broad daylight.
Ever.
But how could he say no? Sure he tried to argue that the party would be well past their bed time...but that obviously failed. Jack had mentioned all they needed to do was grab a nap and they'd be fine; he was being tag teamed from all sides. His only major objection - or was it paralyzing fear? - was that someone would be able to see his face. Sadly, there was a fix for that as well, and despite his half-hearted attempts to tell his children no, it was agreed. They were going to this...Festival thing.
The morning of the 14th, Jack drove them to the Docks, and after taking in a lung full of air that he didn't need, the hooded teen slid out of the dingy old truck, the twins in his arms. Under the shadow of the hood, he had a black baseball cap on, pulled down so low it aided with the shadowing of his face without eliminating his line of vision. With a silent sigh, he set Cheryl and Harry down on their own feet, holding out his gloved hands for theirs. If he had to do this today, there was no way in hell he was getting separated from them.
He still didn't like this. At all...

Had Anon been more persistent or Jack unable to argue a few points the Twins would have pouted but accepted it as their lot in life to miss something that sounded very, very fun and interesting. Despite their odd appearance and the way they looked they still desired to interact with the world at large. They piled into the truck with Daddy and Uncle Jack and when they arrived they were helped out and clung to Daddy's respective hands as soon as possible.
Daddy wasn't the only one a bit nervous about this whole ordeal.
Cheryl was officially in love with the day-lit world. So much light, so much life for her to take stock of and note that she couldn't quite know where to begin. Harry on the other hand was majorly indifferent about the whole daylight versus nighttime thing, it felt just a little unnatural for him to be out like this but that was perhaps that he was so used to being awake at night now a days.
Quietly the pair waited until Daddy went to move, the Twins agreed that since Daddy seemed so hesitant about this they would move at his pace and not their own. At least they weren't so overly excited with the whole event that they only thought of themselves...?

Victoria who simply didn't have enough arms had pinned a map to Lucifel's back. She had done it for convenience purposes... However, she was quickly realizing now that she probably should have picked another sister's back as Lucifel was twice as hyper as always.
"Lucifel hold still," Tori moaned. The last thing she wanted was to get them lost. It was hard enough keeping up with Enyo, Hannah, Harley, Amelia, Lucifel, plus herself. Sure one or two was easy but this! At least Harley and Amelia were in her arms. Harley to young to do much other than crawl, and Amelia to scared to walk.
In hopes of getting Lucifel to listen Amelia let out a very loud whicker.
Lucifel of course stopped to figure out where the sound was coming from. It was still a lot to take in that her sister was part Equine. "Fine," she huffed. She was really only in a hurry because she wanted to find out if Lily and THING were coming. Everything had been so rushed lately she'd hardly had time to use the phone.
Tori almost toppling into Lucifel caught herself last second. "Thank you," she said as she quickly glanced at the map. "This way," and she steered them in the right direction, of course counting kids as they changed direction. She didn't want to loose anyone, not even one.
Finally the little group of girls (of all ages) arrived at the dock. For a second Tori was panicking. With the lack of people it was hard to tell if they were in the right place or not. She didn't let on to this because she figured they could wait a bit before panicking.
Amelia climbed out of her sisters arms and shook. She hobbled a bit and suddenly was a Unicorn.
Everyone groaned...

For once Enyo was actually attempting to be well behaved. She wasn't running around like FelFel or attempting to prank any of her sisters as they walked. No instead she was relatively calmly walking along side Victoria with Hannah's hand in hers. The reason for this is just before they had left Kaida had asked Enyo to take responsibility for her sister seeing as she knew Victoria would be busy with all the other girls and might forget Hannah because of how quiet and peaceful she was.
At first she hadn't wanted to because then she wouldn't be able to do lots of fun stuff like FelFel but Mom had pulled the 'You're bigger now and have to behave so.' card on her and she couldn't say no to that or she'd be giving up her right to pull the big card herself. Still, why couldn't FelFel be the resposible one, she was older.
Hearing her sister give out another frustrated sigh Hannah gave her hand a small tug and once she had her attention Hannah gave her one of her little happy peaceful smiles in the hope she'd feel better. In reply she received a hand on her head as Enyo tussled her hair and smiled back at her. Happy that her older sister was no longer being all fidgety and upset she turned back to scanning the way they where going.
Ok so maybe the munchkin wasn't so bad Enyo thought as she turned back to watching Tori fail at getting FelFel to stay still, supressing a snicker at Tori's misfourtune as she did so. Besides they'd be there soon anyway and she was sure they'd be supervising adults to look after Hannah then, and failing that she got to show off a sister that had a snakes tail instead of legs which was pretty awesome she had to admit. What was not so awesome was Mia turning into a unicorn again. Groaning she was suddenly glad she only had to look after Hannah, at least she did as you said.
(And Hannah was once again forgotten by the girls slightly by the 'everyone' thought for Hannah did not groan, she wouldn't do something like that, instead she smiled indulgently and then shifted her gaze to the clouds, content to stare at the sky.)

Tish stepped up to the docks, Faiya in her arms, and glanced about curiously. When she had received the invitation, she'd considered not accepting, just because she had too many children to worry about leaving unattended. In the end, though, Faiya had somehow gotten wind of the invitation, and begged her mother to go, promising to keep her clothes on for the duration of the party if she could just go - she might even get to see her "My-Tori", she had insisted, so Tish had brought her down here to the docks, leaving most of the children with her friend Jadyn. At first she was a little unsure if this was the proper location - wasn't this supposed to be a festival of some sort? Why were there so few people? Then an excited squeal from the toddler in her arms brought her attention to the present.
"My-Toriiii! My-Tori's here! My-Tori, My-Tori, Mama, let's go see My-Tori!" Tish turned in the direction that Faiya was pointing at, and sure enough, there were the Song girls in their entirety. Apparently they had been invited as well. Tish was rather thrilled at that little fact, because whenever Tori was around Faiya behaved. Er, mostly. Keeping the clothes on was still a challenge, but her little blue child would do just about anything the redhead asked of her. The scent of coconut and lime filled the air around the twosome, making any perfume based on that scent pale in comparison as Faiya reached out to her favorite person in the entire world - besides Mama, of course - and squealed happily.

The Infected Maid
Maria groaned to the windshield of her car as she drove down the road. Her two newly discovered toddlers were yapping at each other in the backseats. Just as soon as she had gotten the two, she had received an invitation to a place she never heard of and with people she's never met. The invitation, along with directions on how to get to the dock, were up on the dashboard. The designs on the invitation threw Maria off. It looked as if a kid had drawn it. She hoped this wasn't some sort of joke
In the back seat, Nicole was shouting at Austin and squirming in her seat. The zombie boy's blade-hand was suspended right next to Nicole's shoulder, giving her great discomfort.
"I'm not touching you," Austin chanted, a devious grin on his face.
It wasn't the obnoxious chant or the feeling of almost being touched by that THING that bothered Nicole the most, it was the thought that at any given moment the car could hit a bump and then the blade would stab into her an then she would bleed and then she would die. Yes, die. Then Austin would laugh over her corpse and devour her and Mommy would get mad for having to clean it up. This over exaggerated though caused Nicole to scrunch her face the entire trip. Austin just found it humorous, so he continued his annoying game.
The car stopped at the parking-lot (I hope) near the designated dock. Before exiting the vehicle, Maria fixed her hair in the built-in mirror and threw some sunglasses on her head. She got out of the car and opened up the doors to the back seat. Nicole already knew how to unbuckle a seat belt, so Maria only had to undo Austin's. As soon as he was free, Austin jumped onto Maria and latched onto her back.
"Don't touch the lava!"
Maria shrugged and held out her hand for Nicole. Nicole grasped her hand while Maria led her outside. Once they were all outside and ready to go, the family walked down towards the docks.

"So you really won't be upset or scared if we get separated in a place we've never been?" Evari asked one more time as she and Tyyne wandered through Gambino to the right dock. She was...okay with staying by her side, she supposed. She wouldn't be able to behave her usual self because of it since Evari was trying to spare Tyyne, some weird instinct to protect her innocence or something. Evari wasn't quite sure why she was so adamant on Tyyne not knowing yet. Tyyne blinked, once again confused as to why Evari was so concerned about her. She didn't often keep close like this! She nodded her head, giving the glowing hand holding hers a squeeze.
"I'll be fine. I've been going out on my own!" She chirped proudly, smiling up at Evari. The glowing teen laughed, swinging their hands between them.
"That's my girl. If you need me though just try to find me, okay? No panicking~." Tyyne nodded, looking around at where they were. Docks. Docks meant water. Lots of water. And water meant...o-oh god. She moved closer to Evari, holding her hand with both of hers and staring out at the water. It didn't take them too terribly long to find what they were looking for, and it helped that there were people already gathering around. One of which Evari recognized very, very well. She grinned but didn't tear herself away from her sister, instead guiding her closer. Let's see...Victoria, Victoria's sisters, a lady and her dau--what was that smell? Coconut and...something else. Strange. Was someone wearing sunscreen? Ooh dear, maybe she should've made Tyyne wear some? She didn't even think to do that. There was also a boy nearby with a pair of children. And another woman with a pair as well. Wow...that boy had weird hands.
Huh..were they early? Tyyne was suddenly excited again, having forgotten they were standing over water the moment she saw Enyo. Enyo was here! Her eyes widened and she let go of Evari with one hand to wave at the other girl, smiling wide with her ears perked and her tail giving a flick. "Hi, Enyo!" Tyyne called out to her friend, happy to see someone she knew here besides her sister. It had been by her insistence that the two had come out what with the invite being so childish, Evari had been somewhat suspicious and still was but seeing other people here seemed to help ease her mind. So it wasn't just some prank. Okay, cool. "Can I say hi to Enyo?" Tyyne asked, turning her head up to look at Evari. She blinked and nodded, letting go of her sister who happily pranced around Victoria to get to her pale friend. Evari meanwhile put her hands on her hips and smiled at Victoria.
"Hey there, darlin'~." She chirped to the redhead regardless of the fact that she was surrounded by and even holding children. So? It wasn't like Evari was going to pounce her. She could greet her friend! Oooh...but if Victoria was here did that mean Kay and Faris were also going to be here? Eeeee! That would be so amazing! She looked around, not spotting either of them yet. Hm...maybe later? Guess for now she would just enjoy the company she was in, glancing at the mothers for a moment and tilting her head. Ooh, were they coming too? The one with the toddler calling out to Tori probably would. Who let a baby go off on her own? Besides...Xai...but Xai was different. That was interesting, though. This girl knew Tori too? Her gaze then turned to the hooded boy and the two children holding his hand...geeze! Wasn't he melting in that thing?! Who wears a hoodie outside in August?!
"I'll be fine. I've been going out on my own!" She chirped proudly, smiling up at Evari. The glowing teen laughed, swinging their hands between them.

The invitation was more than a little suspicious, and if Vance hadn't seen it first, Donovan would have chucked it into the garbage. But Vance did see it, and read it. If only I hadn't taught him to read.. He thought selfishly for a moment. This invite reeked of a prank. But Vance had used the power of a toddler to convince his father to take him to this party. The power of persistence.
They arrived at the docks, and sure enough, there were a lot of people. So it was legit after all? Donovan kept a hold of Vance in his arms, balancing him on his hip as he made his way through docks. It was crowded, and he wasn't going to let Vance wander or heaven forbid fall into the water. He could swim, but still, better safe than sorry.
Donovan wasn't minding this event as much as he thought, seeing a lot of cute woman about. Sadly, he didn't see Xai. Somehow he was a little disappointed.
"TYNNE!!!" Vance yelled suddenly, squirming and making grabby hands for the deer girl across the way. Donovan struggled to keep hold of him, looking around till he spotted the girl with some... very vibrant young woman. No Xai though. So that must be Evari? "I wanna see Tyyyyyne!!!" Cried Vance, trying desperatly to get the girl's attention.

One kiddo was out of her arms thus freeing her up to scoop up lil' Faiya. "Hello cutie," Tori giggled. Not having the ability to run her fingers through the little one's hands she kissed her on the
forehead. "I am so happy you're here! How is my sweet smelling cutie doing today?"
Out of the corner of her eye she say Evari who was quickly approaching. Another teen! She couldn't have been more delighted by that fact. Sure she loved her younger friends, even adored them, but older company was nice. "Hello Evari," she whispered into her ear before kissed her very close to the lips on both sides. "Never miss a good party do you?"
Lucifel and Amelia weren't to far off, just a couple steps. They were dancing in only a way the Song's had managed to accommodate the four legged variety. They were open to anyone else joining in. They were simply amusing themselves til time.

It was easy to tell Mrrh was uneasy, he had heard about the plans the two toddlers had all but begged Anon to take them to, and he was sceptical. His very nature to be paranoid, also included strange invites from people they didn't know. He had kept his mouth shut mostly, the stitches were not required for him to not give his impute if only cause he didn't want the toddlers to think he didn't want them to go out and have fun.
The day came, and they left. 'Uncle' Jack having taken them in his truck. After much convincing to Anon that he would be fine alone by himself, he watched as they drove away until he could no longer see them. The dark skinned boy headed back to the crypt, his feet heavy as he walked. Hands jammed into pockets as he looked over his shoulder, as if expecting Anon's hunched and hooded figure approaching him changing his mind about the invite, but there was no one.
The sigh that broke the silence startled even him and he was the one who uttered it, without meaning too he had slammed the door behind him, the crash of it echoed within the cement chambers and he looked around feeling claustrophobic suddenly. Swallowing he took a step back before his eyes searched the crypt and finally landed on the brightly coloured invite that was still out.
His breathing seemed loud to him, of course he was so keenly listening for any sound that it could of been why it seemed to echo in his ears. Slipping over to where the invite lay he picked it up slowly, his scared arm slipped out of his cape and he stared at the paper for a long time before he growled to himself and slammed a fist down, instantly regretting it as pain shot up his arm.
Soft hissing curses slipped past his lips as he gripped his arm in an attempt to stop the pain. Already his mind had been made up to go, he hated it. He didn't want to go, but he wanted Anon to be safe...he knew that the teen never did anything outside during the day...and how paranoid he was about people seeing his face...and in broad daylight it would be even tougher to conceal.
Sighing he was trying to tell himself that he was going for Anon, not because he was wigging out being alone here, in the crypt, by himself....
With all the grace of a rapid dog he went to put on proper clothes, a loose fitting shirt, his cape still clasped together around his shoulders as he refused to part with it, and yes.... a man skirt. Taking a breath he held it a moment before he finally turned and left the safety of the crypt. Was he making a terrible mistake leaving here? Perhaps...he would deal with it later.
He had taken a long look at the address for this ...invite. And he was skeptical to find that it was being held on a island. Paranoia took over as he felt a nostril flare and an eyebrow twitch. On an island? What the...H***?
So absorbed he was looking over the invite he didn't notice another pair walking on the opposite side of the side walk. Two that he knew very very well and probably didn't want to run into. A particular blonde and a heavy footed metal boy who was her brother.
“Mrrh? MRRH!” Came the familar female voice that belonged to the girl. You had never seen a figure stiffen and whirl around his eyes wide in fear as he spotted the girl who seemed to be checking for traffic as she was trying to cross the road to come over to him.
By the time she got there though, Mrrh was a retreating figure way ahead in the distance, her brother had crossed traffic to join her looking over at the figure that was getting smaller and smaller.
“...That was Mrrh?” He asked his silver blue like hair covering an eye as he looked at his sister, Roxy looked between cross, pissed and completely confused. Chewing on her lip she snorted and then sighed,
“Whatever...Come on Gera lets get to that party.” She stated though she didn't need Gera with her, after the ...unfortunate lapse in brains from a previous event, she didn't want to end up in the same situation as before. They couldn't take a cab since...no taxi driver would let Gera into their vehicle.
Mrrh in the mean time had managed to get enough of a lead that by the time he reached the ferry his figure was lost in the crowd. Of course...that couldn't last. Mrrh instantly regretting coming. There were s o many people...how on earth was he not only going to find Anon? A stupid question really...Anon was easy to spot...and though there was quite a few people there the hoodie was a dead give away, no pun intended.
Mrrh instantly strove to make his way to Anon, to help slow his racing heart and get to his anchor before his mind caught up with him.
Roxy and Gera were a few minutes behind, his heavy footfalls announcing their approach. Roxy looked around to those who were gathered trying to spot anyone she knew.

Taking a breath he held it a moment before he finally turned and left the safety of the crypt. Was he making a terrible mistake leaving here? Perhaps...he would deal with it later.
He had taken a long look at the address for this ...invite. And he was skeptical to find that it was being held on a island. Paranoia took over as he felt a nostril flare and an eyebrow twitch. On an island? What the...H***?
So absorbed he was looking over the invite he didn't notice another pair walking on the opposite side of the side walk. Two that he knew very very well and probably didn't want to run into. A particular blonde and a heavy footed metal boy who was her brother.
“Mrrh? MRRH!” Came the familar female voice that belonged to the girl. You had never seen a figure stiffen and whirl around his eyes wide in fear as he spotted the girl who seemed to be checking for traffic as she was trying to cross the road to come over to him.
By the time she got there though, Mrrh was a retreating figure way ahead in the distance, her brother had crossed traffic to join her looking over at the figure that was getting smaller and smaller.
“...That was Mrrh?” He asked his silver blue like hair covering an eye as he looked at his sister, Roxy looked between cross, pissed and completely confused. Chewing on her lip she snorted and then sighed,
“Whatever...Come on Gera lets get to that party.” She stated though she didn't need Gera with her, after the ...unfortunate lapse in brains from a previous event, she didn't want to end up in the same situation as before. They couldn't take a cab since...no taxi driver would let Gera into their vehicle.
Mrrh in the mean time had managed to get enough of a lead that by the time he reached the ferry his figure was lost in the crowd. Of course...that couldn't last. Mrrh instantly regretting coming. There were s o many people...how on earth was he not only going to find Anon? A stupid question really...Anon was easy to spot...and though there was quite a few people there the hoodie was a dead give away, no pun intended.
Mrrh instantly strove to make his way to Anon, to help slow his racing heart and get to his anchor before his mind caught up with him.
Roxy and Gera were a few minutes behind, his heavy footfalls announcing their approach. Roxy looked around to those who were gathered trying to spot anyone she knew.

Anon gripped the hands of his Twins, his discomfort with the situation leaving him unaware of how tightly he might truly be holding onto them. With a rather Zombie like shuffle, he did move a little closer to the water, if only to look out at it, or to feel the breeze that drifted off of it. The cool air reminded him of home, and that made him feel an ounce better. It was hot out, incredibly hot as his attire was mostly black, thus attracting the sun...but that particular discomfort was something he could handle. He was used to it, especially on the humid summer nights.
As he stared out into the ocean from under the brim of his hat, he decided...he didn't like it. The vast expanse of water made him feel agoraphobic; the freedom it suggested only made him yearn for the safety and the strict confines of the Graveyard and Crypt. As wide open as this space was, he felt closed in and stuffy.
The tall, heavily dressed teen looked over his slouching shoulder upon hearing a great deal of others arrive. Great. People. Lips drawn into a tight line, he tried his best to stay mostly out of their way, stepping aside when he had to but always, always keeping that grip on the twin's hands.
So many people; he vaguely recognized the red head with the ivy tattoo and mismatched eyes, but the rest of them were complete strangers. Why, why did Mrrh decide not to come?! He needed him right now, someone he recognized and trusted that was more his own age...
Needless to say, a strange and crashing wave of relief hit him when he noticed Mrrh heading towards him in the crowd. The tight line of his lips slackening into a silent and relieved sigh...and, dare say, a tiny smile. Luckily for the twins, his iron grip relaxed as the rest of his body did, even going to far as to let go of them to sign to his dark skinned friend.
'I am happy you changed your mind.'

((I apologize to anyone that has an issue reading what Cheryl says...8D;; ))
The Twins wandered wherever their parent had decided to wander and stuck close to his side. They looked at each other from across the ways and frowned, they were both starting to feel very, very guilty about dragging their Daddy out to this. He was so unhappy maybe they should go back home...? They had left their plush-companions back at home to keep Uncle Stitches and Uncle Jack company or at least that was their excuse but there was also the fear of losing their 'friends' on such a huge outing.
Cheryl's eyes soon wandered down to the water when they neared it and her glowing red eyes widened in delight at the small glittering points of light upon the surface and soon she was lost, she murmured to herself in a soft tone, not really making much sense and sometimes there was an odd jolt to her free hand and other limb. The lights had entranced her for the moment. Harry just gazed around himself at the people and starting to feel a little nervous but not quite to the point where he started to sweat but he did cling to his Daddy's hand a bit more.
It wasn't until Daddy let go of their hands that Cheryl was drawn back out of her trance to stare up to see Uncle Stitches she gave him a happy grin. He came anyways! Even Harry let go of Daddy's hand so he could talk but he still reached out and grasped one of Anon's pant legs. Cheryl took in a deep breath to sigh in contentment since Uncle Stitches was here that would mean Daddy would be okay.
...Cheryl paused...There was a smell... Something she never encountered before.
"You smell that Harry?" Cheryl asked in her usual quiet tone.
Her Twin blinked and took a whiff of the air before he nodded, "What is it...?"
The pair looked up questioningly to their 'parents'.

Oh wow, apparently they got here at just the right time - so many other people where arriving. Scanning over the faces for anyone familiar Enyo positively beamed when she heard a familiar voice call her. "Oh Hey! Princess!" Enyo shouted in reply skipping over to the girl in question, little wings fluttering happily at seeing the other girl. Giving her a hug she then stepped back and gestured to Hannah who had dutifully followed Enyo when the girl had gone off. "This Hannah, I told you 'bout her before." then she jerked a thumb over her shoulder at the rabble behind her, "That's the rest of ma sisters. S'nice to see you here!" she said with a smile.
Just as she was finishing she heard another voice calling out Tyyne's name and scanning the crowds she spotted a small rather cute boy. Pointing at him Enyo asked curiously, "You know 'im Tyyne?"

When Pilot had originally found the invitation when checking the mail his first thought was to throw it out. It looked childish and could be a prank and even if it wasn't he didn't know if he really wanted to be somewhere where there would be so many people. In the end it was that thought that had actually gotten him to go, after all maybe Jezebel or Kay or one of the many other Curio kids he'd met would be there. It'd be nice to see them again, he only had an a dress for Jezebel and whilst he knew he could find Kay at the shop he didn't really head that way often.
So it was that Pilot packed up a day bag full of supplies and filled his pockets with stuff for emergences just like his Mom had taught him and then waving by to both, having asked them to let him go on his own which they'd been happy to oblige. Catching a bus it hadn't really taken him all that long to get to the docks that the invitation specified. Getting there he was relived to that it wasn't a prank and scanning over the crowd he discovered something even better - Anon was there! At least there was someone he knew. Strolling over to the boy and silently wondering at the two small kids with him he raised his voice and called out, "Lo Anon!" and gave a small wave.

Mrrh was less than pleased to be here, there were too many chances for a relapse here, it was obvious that his faith in his willpower was severely undercut. Still he had an unhappy smile on his face as he approached the trio, even as Anon looked to be visible more relaxed now that he saw Mrrh, the tanned boy on the other hand felt every single nerve on end. He felt jumpy, quick to anger and irrational...
“Not like I had a choice in the end...” He grumbled as he got closer, as he literally felt like he HAD to come. Else his sanity would be forever lost in the crypt. Looking over Anon once he was standing in front of him he looked down at the twins who seemed to be enjoying themselves. He didn't offer them his hands, as he rammed them back into the pockets of his man-skirt. Being on edge made him trust himself even less.
“Eh...are we..just milling about here?” Mrrh asked in a harsh whisper, for it seemed if there was going to be something to complain, he was the man to do it. His red eye'd gaze slowly shifted towards Cheryl and her commit made an eyebrow pitch in a wtf manner. Smell? Smell what exactly?

Roxy on the other hand was looking around for figures she knew, she had spotted Anon and Mrrh nearly instantly, and her urge to stomp over and demand to know what was going on was rising...but she spotted the two little children which only raised more questions but also halted her need for a verbal assault. Children? They were pretty young too...why was Mrrh with that boy...his name slipping her mind for the moment, why was he with him and with two children.
Course now getting a better look at Mrrh she realized he seemed very uncomfortable to be here. Fine. She'd leave him alone, for now. Her blonde hair swirled as she looked around spotting Evari nearly instantly, plus a red head she was pretty sure she had never met before...and yet was strongly remembered. Ah...right..she had a dream with her in it...stuck in a room that was full of music and changing weather.
About to head that direction she stopped herself as she noticed Gera's heavy footfalls hadn't followed behind her but had moved in a different direction.
“G...er..” Roxy began but found her voice failing her, Gera had decided to move towards Mrrh and his companions. Not sure what to make of this she sighed but setting her mind on the idea she wanted to talk to EVARI, not Mrrh...or his weird hoodie friend. Feeling a bit slighted she huffed and moved towards the glowing girl.
“Hey there Evari!” She chirped in a forced happy tone. She greeted the other girl as well, unsure if her dream version was ...just a figment of her imagination
Gera had moved his heavy footfalls announcing to anyone who was in the way to get out of it, he would never mean to step on anyone's foot, there was always that possibility he may crush one by accident. He wasn't sure what had driven him to move in Mrrh's direction, besides the fact he knew that Mrrh's appearance had caused Roxy stress, and some part of him still felt that old need to impose his presence as her protector.
As he approached his blue eyes swept over the group of them, he recognized the shoulder slumped form of Anon, as they had met once before in the graveyard...Gera had ended up destroying zombies there. Though the two children were new to him. His form though imposing instantly took on a more relaxed state, apart of him not wanting to scare the kids, and yet still enforce the fact he hadn't forgotten what Mrrh had done.
“Mrrh...” He started in a low tone, addressing the tanned boy in a rumble, “Where have you been?”

The Infected Maid
Maria watched as the attendees drifted together in their own groups. She knew no one there and found it awkward to even be part of the event. She looked back towards the parking lot with eager eyes, wondering if they should just leave....
"Momma! I wanna play with someone!" Austin shouted into Maria's ear. He squirmed on her back, his "hands" pushing into her. All those interesting people were down there and Sissy and Momma were just standing around! Ignoring the rules of his game, Austin loosened himself from Maria, slumping down to the ground. He then started running towards the dock full of people, a gleam in his eyes.
Nicole didn't really care if they met people. Even if she did, Austin would probably ruin any hopes of having a friend. She decided she'd just stay with Momma and let Austin do his damage before going down to the dock.
Gripping Nicole's hand tight, mostly for her own comfort, Maria started down towards the docks. As much as she didn't want too, she knew she couldn't leave Austin alone. Nicole made no protest and waddled along with her.

Faiya cuddled close to Tori, giggling furiously. "My-Tori, My-Tori! You're goin' to the party too!" The little perfume child declared, kicking her feet about while she stared at all the other people that were showing up.
"Wow, there's lots of people here!" she chirped, looking over at Amelia and the little girl with her. "Eeee! She's part DEER! How PRETTY!" Faiya had never seen so many children that were as unique and special as her, of all colors and all types, and she was excited.
"Who's tha'? Who's tha'? Who's tha'?" she asked over and over, first pointing to the deer-girl, then to the boy with funny hands, and on and on it went.

"Enyo," Tori said in a slightly raised voice so that she was heard over the gathering group. "That lil' green boy's name is Vance. We told you about him that day when Lucifel and me came back from the park." This answer one of Faiya's questions as well.
Lucifel looked away from Amelia and towards Tori. From Tori she scanned the crowd to find Vance. "Vance!" She called out. She hoped the green boy would respond. She wasn't trying to be rude... this was just her.
"I'll catch up with you in a few," Tori chuckled and tapped Evari's nose. She could already see it coming that her good friend was going to be getting just as caught up as her. With Harley and Faiya still in arm she walked over to the hooded figure.
"Looking good there Roxy," she whispered as she passed her. It was more a way of testing the waters to make sure that is who it really was... after all she was still trying to understand that damn bubble.
Tori chuckled. At least she wasn't the only one with her hands full. Juggling the two kids she tapped Anon on the shoulder. After getting his attention she signed, to the best of her ability, 'Hello. How are you?'
"Don't forget me!" Amelia used her teeth to pick up her dress. She quickly followed after Tori. Not knowing anyone here besides Faiya and her mom she didn't want to be alone in such a large crowd.

Ehhh, there was that nickname again. Tyyne really wished Enyo wouldn't call her by that name. Guess she had no choice, she'd just do her best to convince Enyo it was not a good one. Why did she insist on calling her Princess? The hug cheered her up, giggling and returning it quite happily. She was so relieved to find someone here that she knew! And from the looks of it Evari knew a few people here too! This was great! Tyyne blinked and tilted her head toward the snakey girl, paling for a moment. She looked almost like Leviathan...was she a dragon too?! O-oh but wait...right, not all dragons were mean. Ryuusei was such a nice dragon! Heh. Right, right. Oooh so she was Enyo's sister! Umm...not the one who talked to plants but who grew them, right? "It's very nice to meet you, Hannah!" She said with a smile, looking back at the rest of the girls when Enyo pointed them out. Wow! So many! She only had the one! She pointed gently toward Evari. "That's my sister there. It looks like she knows your big sister..." Tyyne tilted her head, looking very confused when their face suddenly got very close to each other. Were they telling each other secrets? She couldn't see too well from this angle! She turned back to Enyo with confusion still on her face, shrugging it off after a moment to brighten up and smile at Enyo again. "It's really nice to see you too! I'm so happy to see people I know he--" She heard a voice yelling her name. A little boy's voice. She knew this voice! Tyyne's ears perked and her eyes widened, gasping and whipping her head around to find where Vance was.
"VANCE!" Tyyne squealed, turning to Enyo for a moment. "I'll be right back, I promise!" She would! She just wanted to go get Vance and then she'd come right back! Tyyne hurried over to where Donovan and Vance were, a huge smile on her face. She had been so sad when she heard Mommy was going to see Mr. Donovan but wasn't bringing her along, but now Vance was here and she could see him again and eeeeee! "Hi, Mr. Donovan! Hi Vance!" Tyyne greeted then both excitedly. It wasn't that she was happier to see Vance than Enyo, she was equally excited for both of them to be here! It was just...look at him! He was so cuuuuute! She couldn't resist a chance to hold him! "May I carry him, Mr. Donovan?" She asked with polite excitement, holding her arms out for Vance.
Evari was keeping a watchful eye on her sister the whole time...merely to make sure she didn't get into trouble. Yup. It wasn't a protective watch. Not at all. She just didn't want Tyyne embarrassing her! That was all, really. She was distracted by Victoria's greeting, grinning at the kisses and leaving one on her cheek and reaching a hand up to lightly twirl a lock of the redhead's hair around her finger. "Well it was Tyyne's idea to come, but nah. I love a good party. Now I'm glad I came though~." There were small children in her arms, she wasn't stupid enough to try and make out with her or something like that here. One of them was very excited and pointing at her! "I'm Evari, and that girl with the deer butt is Tyyne." She answered the little blue girl, chuckling. What a cutie. She heard the voice calling out her sister's name and looked up to see who it was, spotting the tall man and the kid he was holding. Huh...who was that? Tyyne really did meet new people without her, apparently! Hmmm but wait, hadn't Tyyne told her about this one? The little frog boy and his daddy who Xai got along with really well. Xai...got along really well with this guy? How well? Oh well, she could think about that later. She was distracted from everyone else when she spotted Mrrh and her glow brightened but not out of happiness, more out of anger. What. The ********. Was he doing here? And what the hell was with those bandages? Did he get into an accident or something? Fine, whatever. He wasn't acknowledging her anyway and she was perfectly fine with that. She also saw that boy...what was his name again? Oh! Right, right. Pilot. That strange kid with the hood sure was popular. Weird. "Hmm? Oh, of course." Evari tilted her head to kiss the finger that tapped her nose, watching Victoria walk away...to the hooded boy. Holy s**t, did everyone know this guy or something? That little girl with him seemed very interested in the water..how cute. You'd think she'd never seen water before or something.
She had been so busy watching people gravitate to the hooded person that she didn't hear Roxy coming until she said anything, blinking and about to turn around when she saw Gera walking toward that group over there as well. Gera...? Then that meant..! Evari turned around quickly and gasped, doing a bit of a doubletake. Wow! She...she was bigger now! "Hey there, pretty lady!" Evari chirped, leaning down to give Roxy a hug and a kiss on her cheek. She heard the footfall of running steps, glancing over Roxy's shoulder to watch a boy with...blades...for arms come running toward the dog. Evari put her hands on Roxy's shoulder and gently guided her to the side just a bit. "Watch out, we got a running scissor boy." Evari chuckled, lifting a hand from her shoulder to brush a finger through Roxy's hair and tuck a bit of it behind her ear. "Wow! You look great! When'd this all happen? How've you been?"
"VANCE!" Tyyne squealed, turning to Enyo for a moment. "I'll be right back, I promise!" She would! She just wanted to go get Vance and then she'd come right back!

Vance bounced excitedly in his father's grasp as Tynne trotted over, making grabby hands for the girl once again. Donovan struggled to keep a hold of him, smiling at Tynne. "Hi Tynne. Yeah, here take him. Please." He handed Vance down into the Tynne's arms. The little frog boy hugged the blonde happily, clinging tightly to his friend. Donovan rotated his arms a bit, sighing with relief.
The tall young man looked over, hearing someone call his son's name suddenly. Who else wou---oh... it was that family of strange women. Vance saw the green haired girl call him, and waved happily from Tynne's arms. "Hi Felly!.....heeeeey you got big too!" No Faaaair!
Donovan waved to Tori to be polite, though he couldn't help but notice she was a lot bigger than the last time he had seen her... Yeah. Bigger. Still way too young for him to even linger on though. His gaze fell back on the crowd. "Is Xai at home then?" He asked curiously.
Vance kept his clutches on Tynne, wiggling happily in her arms.

Elanesse
Bug wander by the docks this day, it wasn't something she usually did, the water made her nervous, but there had been a lot of noise that day and she was curious. Maybe there were some loose pockets she could put her sticky fingers into? It never occurred to her that the paper she received earlier and promptly drew on was an invite to meet here.

Tyyne giggled with glee as Vance was handed over to her, hugging him and securely holding him against her. Eeeeee! It was Vance! She nuzzled her face against his head with a tiny little squeal, blinking and turning a bit so Vance could see the other girl who was calling out to him. Oh! So more people here knew him too! How fun! Tyyne was about to bring Vance closer to the rest of the group and return to Enyo with him but Donovan spoke first, her ears perking and her eyes turning up to him. Xai? Oh! Yes, Mommy was at home. She smiled and nodded. "Uh huh! Evari brought me here instead!" Tyyne chirped, jerking her head lightly in the direction of her glowing sister who was still giving Roxy her undivided attention. "She's the one with the blue hair." She told him, unaware of if Xai had told Donovan about her or not.
She was fine with Vance wiggling in her arms, in fact she even turned a bit so he could instead sit on her back and ride on her like before since he enjoyed it so much. He was so cute she adored him so much! "I can watch Vance, if you like...and you can go see my Mommy?" Unless he wanted to stay, which was perfectly alright. But if he was curious about her mommy then that was a hint, right? Movement nearby caught her eye and she turned her head to see what it was, blinking at who she saw. Bug! She was here too, wow!
"Bug! Hi!" She called out to the bird girl, smiling. Again she was all by herself...how peculiar! Or maybe she got dropped off?

Orpheus Solon
Ryuusei was a sweet creature, really he was, though on occasion he could be seen as being a touch spoiled as well due to his short legs he was often carried around by people be it Mrrh, Roxy, Tyyne, or anyone else with long legs that he ran across. It was what was happening now as he rode along toward where they were heading. It was only by chance that he had run across this particular and rather pretty looking being. The one he who's head he was perched on had seemed to have an invitation similar to the one that he was carrying, seemed to be heading to go along to the same event as Ryuu. He'd said his 'Master' called him Guppy, among other things, and that he was something called a 'Zora'. Ryuu could only guess that it translated into 'fish man' or something similar.
The little dragon leaned over to bat at the pretty golden decoration that was hanging off of one of his head fins before giving a purring sound, "I wonder what the party is for, is it someone's birthday?" He mused, his tail swished behind him as he thought about it, looking down at the invitation that his new friend was carrying. He had them both since it made it so that Ryuu could talk more easily instead of being muffled by the paper in his mouth.
Guppy skimmed over them then gave a little shrug, it made the event sound a little fun but he couldn't guess what it was for. Lord Leviathan hadn't known either nor had he really seemed to care in the least about some 'foolish party' as he'd called it. He told Guppy to take the invitation and figure out what was going on, to fill him in later given it might be a trap laid by his various enemies. He was also to make sure to keep his eyes peeled for any princesses that might have gone to the party if it were real though the Zora couldn't say that he felt any desire what so ever to go around kidnapping any princesses, not on his own at least. He had a hard enough time just approaching other people never mind approaching them and stealing them... on top of that the party was sure to have a lot of people around who wouldn't allow for any princess stealing. He might be better off just saying that he hadn't seen any of them he decided.
"I don't know, maybe" Guppy finally told the talkative and rather friendly creature that was perching on his head. The little dragon had been carrying an invite matching his and they ended up walking together to where they were were supposed to meet a boat that was going to bring them to where the party was being held. He wondered why Lord Leviathan wasn't interested in going. He'd been told it was part him not wanting to leave his territory as well as not wanting to deal with a crowd where enemies could be hiding out but still... it could have been a lot of fun for his Lord to get out and do something other then swim around his territory threatening everything that entered it with death or dismemberment.
While he wouldn't admit to it a small part of Guppy was rather glad that he hadn't come along though, it meant he had a day without the guy lording over him, ordering him around, and giving him the strangest tasks to do all day. It would be fun to just get out for a time and have fun, "I guess we will figure out when we get there?" He suggested.
The dragon's tail set to wagging wildly behind him and he nodded, "Yes! I hope that they have snacks I am so hungry!" He said with a purring sound, not that there was a time when he wasn't hungry expect for when he was stuffed so full that his belly stuck out.
There was a thoughtful sound from the Zora and then a smile, "I don't know, maybe? It would be nice since I was pretty busy today and missed breakfast." It was never fun to miss a meal but since his Master always seemed to have chores for him if he wasn't up early it was always a possibility that it could happen, "I hope they have yummy stuff to eat." He would need to be sure to bring something home for Lord Leviathan, it would appear from what he knew of the guy that offerings were a good way to get onto his good side.
Both of the boys were smiling as they arrived, ready to show off their invitations to the one in charge of the boats so that they would be able to board and head toward where the party was happening once said person arrived.
