When Astraeus glanced to her with his silent offer, she curtsied lightly in thanks.
Whispering Minstrel They would see her shiver at the sudden chill that knocked the hair out of her face, revealing heavy scar damage, the most being around the two reddish glass orbs that seemed to dance with a fiery light inside them that had replaced her eyes...much like the same stone that she wore in her earring. Standing from the bow, a bit of color seemed to cross her cheeks as she raised a hand to put the bangs back in place, a quiet "Don't want to scare the guests..." escaping before she coughed. "Ah, thank you ma'am, Madam," she corrected quickly, not knowing the station the Phantom had herself, "For your kind words, and yours Lord Astraeus. I will keep them in mind as the night progresses. Oh! And where are my manners, you may call me Cidri...or Cid, if you prefer."
Your unexpected words made the Phantom chuckle, "Goodness. If anyone is to be doing scaring tonight, it is I." For a few moments she lapsed into silence, her mind adrift as she considered doing just that. It would be terribly amusing, but she doubted the guests would enjoy such antics. Silently sighing, she focused back in on the conversation. "You may call me Phantom, Cidri."
Starlight Princess Lucky "Evening ladies. And you sir..." she stuffed the rest of about ten pocket squares into another of his pockets, leaving another filled to the brim. She smiled innocently, "...Looked like you needed a few more." With a wave of her pinky finger, Lucky was off again, this time likely to get rid of the empty trays. The prince blinked and looked down at his now second bulging pocket. He shook his head and looked towards his companions, "I believe this is my cue to begin passing out party favors." As an afterthought, he handed one to the Phantom-he didn't quite recall giving her one when she appeared. He took a bow. "If I do not get to say it later, I wish you both a wonderful evening." With that the prince turned and went to greet guests and hopefully empty some of his pockets.
Before the Phantom could even greet the Princess, the woman was gone. Lucky's dedication to the pocket squares was truly admirable. She smiled at the mildly amused Prince whom now had countless pocket squares bursting from his pockets. As he offered her one, her form became solid once more as she accepted it. She stared blankly down at it. What was a phantom to do with a pocket square? His farewell brought her out of her revery, "I wish you the same, Astraeus." She returned his bow with a curtsy. |

 Solsi's head swiveled, sensing some abrupt movement. It appeared as though while she was making small talk with Ruby, Lucky was left to tend the party on her own. The magical girl snapped at attention and looked quickly around. Was the place always so full??? "Oh dear, I should help." she confessed aloud. Taking a handful of pocket squares she flitted around trying to lighten the load a bit. Suddenly, off in the distance, the doors opened yet again, revealing three familiar faces... "You keep dragging me to these places." "Hey, we're here to support Solsi! Besides, you need a little elegance in your life." "You guys..." Solsi rushed over to her friends. It felt like they hadn't seen each other in a long time. "Why if it isn't Sammy~ Or should I say Solsi, now?" Laney exclaimed, cheerful as ever. "Who knew of the four of us you'd be first to drop your secret identity?" Danny elbowed her mid-sentence to make sure no one overheard. "Hey! Some of us still want to keep ours." she snapped. Laney pouted and rubbed her sore arm. "That's savage..." she mumbled. "The place looks wonderful." Jessie interjected. "You guys did a great job setting up." Solsi beamed a little. "Thanks. Actually, we could use a hand. Do you think you could distribute some of these? I swear it's like they're coming out of the walls!" She left the pocket squares with them. Upon first glance, Laney's eyes lit up, Danny glared, and Jessie blinked in confusion at the party favors. Simultaneously, Laney and Danny had two very different reactions. "What the heck?" "Are. You. Kidding me?" the fashionista gasped. Laney picked one up and held it up to the light. "These are all the rage according to Pocket Squares Today!" She rubbed the soft fabric against her cheek giddily. Danny rolled her eyes. "What are you supposed to sneeze fancy now? This is dumb." Jessie took a couple in her arms. "Doesn't sound too difficult...let's see what we can do." Following Solsi's example, the three fanned out and tried their luck at playing co-hostess.
OOC: Just in case anyone needs a dance partner, or other various shenanigans.

Movement caught her eye and she turned her head to see Solsi waving. With a smile, she waved back ready to head over to say hello when a familiar voice drifted into her ears. Turning her head she saw, "Nef~" Wiggling a bit, she turned fully and embraced him warmly. "Good to see you. And yes, I-I'm rather excited to be here." Blushing she started to continue when Lucky came up with a tray of food and a handful of . . . pocket squares? Her confusion was only momentary as the other girl's kind greeting had her smiling. "Hello, Lucky. Thank you, I'm happy to be here~" The elf giggled as she accepted the pocket square. "Another time when you have less of an armful. Thank you for the party favor~"
Not exactly sure where to add this new piece, she held it for a moment and bobbed her head as Lucky went off to hopefully put down her tray of food. "Hugs later then, okay?" Gray eyes turned back to Nef as she smiled. "So, have you gotten to have a dance yet?"
New voices caught her attention a moment and she looked to see who had arrived. The elf started to turn her head back to Nef, but did a slight double take. Gosh for a moment one of the new ladies looked sort of familiar. But no, she couldn't seem to place her exactly. Best not to stare too long and cause anyone to feel uncomfortable. Well that's what she thought, but a few more glances may have occurred. |

The Dragon Anon "If I'm already struggling to keep your attention then maybe I should have worn something flashier..." The dragon faux sulks, idly playing with the cuff of his sleeve. If one looked closely,
however, they would still see the mischievous gleam in his eye.
(Dang it Lucky! Stop distracting the pretty lady from the dragon, it's not fair!)
(Pfft, forgive us, we have ADD. >w> ) |

Phantom Anon The Phantom was bemused as she watched the sudden change in your demeanor. She looked to the retreating forms of Lucky and Astraeus, "Why are you uncomfortable around royalty?"
The young woman bit down slightly on her lip, chewing in thought as to how best explain it, "Where I'm from, you have your good nobles, and then you have your bad. We're lucky the ones reigning over the kingdom are the good kind, and I have a close friend who is one as well. But the bad...you look at 'em wrong, sneeze, and they punish you harshly. They seem to forget where their power comes from." She gestured in the direction she heard Lucky's voice in and Astraeus had left in, "They seem like the good sort...but in my station you can't be too careful. I had to be sure they weren't the nasty kind...but considering the general light atmosphere right now...I guess my worries were a little silly, hmm?" |
