MASQUERADE, ANYONE?!?!?! (SCHOOL DANCE)

[Keith]

"Bartender!!!! More Sake!!!!!"

"Put it on my tab. Another round of sake, please."

Keith nodded as he grabbed another bottle of warm sake from underneath the bar counter. He would place it on the counter and pop off the cap. Seemed that the girl definitely loved her sake. But hey, more money for him.

"Fifteen dollars," Keith said.

This would seem to be an interesting night. But hey, Keith was making all this money.

[Jenna Scorn]

"...If you wanna, you can show me just what you can do." He'd smirk, licking his lips & running the palm of his right hand down his face. "Now I'm interested."

That was nothing, nothing at all.
He was calling her out.
no big deal, she wasn't a child.
And she held it back, the urge to just scream.
To release herself.

Her tongue lining her lower lip, elbows flat against the table top as she waited for the bartender to send her another warm Sake.

"CA-LAM-I-TEE."

That was it.
Her back arched, head looking towards Kevin again and those eyes finding his.

"Hmmmm."

Glancing off towards the crowed now.
Finding Johnathan, as he danced away.

Her tongue lined her lower lip.

And the thoughts raced through her mind.

Destruction?

Her back was to the bar, leaning against it before she'd peek up at Kevin. Almost saying 'dare me?' with those lips of her's as that tongue flicked acrossed it.

Now, leaning towards Kevin.
Letting her lips almost brush up against his ear.

"... I despise him."

She was drunk.

Did she really hate Johnathan?
No.


But anger and alcohol did horrible things to a human.
And Calamity couldn't escape that.

[Veyugan ~*]

'Ahh, now it's clear.

Veyugan's eyes pierced into her's as she stared at his bare body pressing into hers. She was enjoying it - no doubt about it in Veyugan's mind. Her eyes trailed up - matching Veyugan's gaze. His question lingered - and her head cocked to the side. Was she confused? No .. Veyugan knew she understood the question. She was just trying to avoid it. Sooner or later ... Veyugan would find out what she was going to do. His right hand trailed against her waist - slipping his fingers under her corset. His fingers grazed against her lower-back - sliding across the tiny dimples above her tailbone. There, he massaged her skin lightly - the smirk upon his lips growing.

Something felt off...

He could tell before her body stiffened. His ears perked - his smirk fading slightly. Veyugan and the girl weren't the only ones on the deck. She felt it too. The aura ... It made Veyugan tingle with excitement. Her body moved - a hug? No ... She was looking. Veyugan didn't have to look. He could already feel the presence. His left hand slyly made it's way into his front pocket - shielding the light from his cell phone against his body. To the person behind him - it would just look like the light from the dance emitting from the skylight. His fingers quickly scrolled down - sending a message to someone he had seen in the dance. Kevin. A one word message - "Up." It should be obvious to Kevin - as they could basically understand each other without words. The cell phone was slipped into the back of the girl's corset.

Lightly, his hands clutched the sides of her ribcage - pulling her from his body and placing her back against the smoke stack. He rolled to his right - the girls left and laid his own back against the stack. His arms folded across his chest - his right under his left. The kris positioned in his belt loop was ready to be drawn - if need be.

A figure ... Veyugan's light, sensitive eyes could easily make out the shape of a figure. No details, however could be made. There was definitely someone there though. By her words - it was her 'Sensei.' A teacher? Of what? Veyugan's eyes narrowed. Combat trainer? A slight chuckle came from Veyugan as she whispered to be careful. Be careful? Heh. Sure.

Legs were spread a little more than shoulder length - body completely relaxed.

'What's your plan bud ... what are you thinking?'[/i]

[meigan]

[OOC: Alright, that's it. No more people are to be drawn to the incident between Valekin and Veyugan, summoned or by coincidental chance. It's not going to become a complete free for all, understand? This is your warning.]

IC Time: 9:57 pm

Finishing off her drink from the bartender, DJ O-Livvy flipped the switch to her mic.

"Alright partiers, the time has come to play some more requests. The table is still up here and I'll be taking requests all night so if you've got a song you'd like to here, come on up. First off we've got a number by John Legend, maybe some of you have heard of it. Then we've got a few upbeat hits by Aural Vampire and Scapegoat Wax. Keep those drinks flowing and hips shaking because we're not done yet!!"[/size]

Cheering, and a few (drunken?) 'Whoop whoops!' could be heard amongst the crowd. Flip the switches, the music poured out from the ten foot speakers.

Following Songs:

Save Room - John Legend
Darkwave Surfer - Aural Vampire
Aisle 10 (Hello Allison) - Scapegoat Wax

The music faded at the end to be replaced by a generic techno beat, the volume minimized as the DJ spoke up once more.

"The mask contest will begin at 11 o'clock. Between now and then, those who wish to participate can sign up or nominate someone they believe has a fantastic mask up here at the front table alongside the request list. I will keep a running list of who has signed up and at ten minutes to eleven we will commence the voting. We will have a King and Queen of the Masquerade, and onced crowned, will share a dance in the middle of the dance floor. Let's get those nominations rolling! Good luck to all of you!"[/size]

[Jenna Scorn]

Save room.


That familiar song playing into her ears and she'd smile still.
Her lips curling, snaking up into a grin.

Her lips parted, her voice softly ringing out.
But not everyone would hear it, she wasn't that loud.
Only loud enough so Kevin, and maybe a few within a few feet of her would hear.

"Say that you'll stay a little. Don't say bye bye tonight."

A soft giggle.
Looking over her shoulder at the crowed.

How would they react?

It wasn't as up beat as most of the songs.

though, a perfect slow dance must be in order.

She sighed.

Taking her Sake into her hand.

It was going to be a long night.

OOC: crappy post.
my ride is here.

[Eurydice Sudeki]

Led out to the dance floor by her love, she could only smile as she looked at him. Never had Eury had much to smile about, until the day he entered her life. Then again he also took away her smile for quite sometime, but still was the only one to truly return it to her. He stopped and stared into her eyes as she just stared back into his dark blues as he spoke about needing to ask her something. A small 'hmm?' could be heard as her eye contact remained with his.

Slowly he dropped to one knee and Eury's eyes followed suit. The hand that was behind him came forward with a little black box. Eury smiled already knowing what was coming next. Techincally they had already went through this process but it didn't matter how many times he asked, her answer would always be the same. He spoke her name.

"Yes?"

And then that pause, that awkward silence. Not for nothing but it did feel like it got a bit quite around them. Some people had stopped dancing around them, and stared at the site. Truthfully she couldn't blame him for being nervous, she too was starting to feel the pressure.

"Will you marry me?"

The box opened reveiling that beautiful ring. How fancy it was nor how much it cost mattered to her. Truthfully she was fine without the ring, but none the less she would except it. A joyful glimmer shinned in her eyes as she happy spoke.

"Of course I'll marry you! It's not even a question."

An applaude was slowly heard from those around that had witnessed it. Once he would slip it on she would wait for him to get up, and wrap her arms around him - and share a passionate kiss.

*******Meanwhile*******

One would think something like a marriage proposal would grab attention. Well it grabbed enough attention, but Angel's eyes were still locked on the young boy that remained in front of her. Had she been drinking earlier today? Cause she was really letting herself go. Hmm... yes. Yes indeed she was. But then again Angel wasn't that much of a drinker, maybe a cup or two of Vodka or something of that matter. But alas no, Angel wasn't drunk. Unless you wanna say drunk on life then that's a different story.

A small part of herself couldn't even control or contain what she was doing right now. She needed to express herself, let out all that stress that she had been feeling. Never, in so long, had she felt so free. This was her time to let her hair down and cut loose. Despite the fact that she probably had at least a 6-7 year age difference on the boy. But that didn't seem to matter at this moment, he was making her feel good. He was making her night even more enjoyable. Hell, he was distracting her from finding Eurydice. But alas, he was enticing her. Enticing her senses. Their bodies drew closer, as she felt his hand upon her back. She couldn't help but to close her eyes to it, feeling his touch through the thin sheer fabric of the white shirt.

Angel herself couldn't explain it, couldn't explain how she was feeling. All she knew was that she was enjoying herself and she rather no one[/i] ruin it. And please, don't try to ruin her fun. Though her name might be Angel, it holds no meaning to the wrath she could and will unleash. And how she did enjoy the way he called her ''kitty kat''. Little did he know how she loved when a man nipped on her lip just before or after a kiss, or just to entice. Again their bodies drew closer as she opened her eyes, dark blue orbs staring at him - feeling their legs begin to brush against one another. He spoke again, allowing Angel to place another smile upon her face. Their faces not so far from each other, nor their bodies - Angel took that extra step causing the heat that was already between them to fuse together. Her cherry flavor lips began to part as she spoke to him. Considering the gap was closed, with every word she said her lips gently brushed against his.

"Yea.. Kitty likes to play.. You gonna show Kitty some fun?"[/color]

[Kevin Collessano-Alvari]

"Oh, that German cat? Girl, don't let no man fuck up yer night to have fun. Functions like these are meant for ya to shake the stress away...get him outta yer mind, have fun, be the woman that you wanna be."

And Kevin would sit back after returning the message in her ear when---nurgh, nurgh, nurgh---if the music weren't so loud, Kevin could hear his phone vibrating when he felt it against his lap in his pocket. Kevin would reach in for it, pull it out, look for a quick second, & sit it back in his pocket. So...tonight might get dicey, huh? Vague better use his skills to hold off the threat before Kevin intervened, 'cause with the stuff Calamity was talking in his ear, he'd be occupied with being her boytoy for the evening.

"So what're you sayin'? You wanna see me after the dance? I'm down for it..." Kevin would stand at this point, not to go running off for damage control; he trusted Vague could hold his own, though the fact that Kevin got a message to come to him would notify the Brazicilian (yes, I made that word up) that the matter was probably dire with his almost-brotherly ally. But matters would be handled accordingly. Hence, why he'd extend his left hand towards Calamity.

"...But let's set the tone, shall we?"

[Mr. Kaar]

Mwahaha, Leon triumphes again! But this time publically. And... Lots of people... Watching and clapping. Kinda... Nerve wracking, but he slipped the ring onto her finger and stood up with a smile under that mask of his. When she wrapped her arms around his neck, he would wrap his around her waist, pulling her close and lifting her up for the kiss on the dance floor. About then is when a slow dance song came on... He wasn't sure of the quick change. But it worked kinda well on timing.

He would let her down and keep his hands around Eury. Holding her close while he began t sway side to side so he could whisper little "I love you"s and the like. Just romantacising her best he could. Because, ya'know. It's always healthy to romantacise with your lover. Of course he sure was glad he had the mask on. Would of been less romantic without them. Always something about Masquerades that set people up for this kind of thing.

[Jenna Scorn]

"Oh, that German cat? Girl, don't let no man fuck up yer night to have fun."

"This just might hurt a little."

Oh, she hadn't.
That alcohol wouldn't let her have a bad time.
Not yet at least.
And thats why she was singing along with the song.
"She was having a good time.

"Love hurts sometimes when you do it right."

She was definitely buzzed.
Softly swaying from side to side in her seat as her hands rested in her lap. Closing her eyes and letting her head sway with the slow beat.

"Dont be afraid of a little bit of pain."


"Functions like these are meant for ya to shake the stress away...get him outta yer mind, have fun, be the woman that you wanna be."

Calamity opened those eyes, looking up at Kevin.
A soft smile on her lips as she gave a very small nod.
Yes, these sort of functions were to shake the stress away.
Maybe let out a little sexual frustrations.
At least, thats what it would appear to her.

But Calamity knew, Johnathan must have been doing the same.
Just shaking away his stress, as Kevin had stated she should do.

But this slow song, though it held some sort of sentiments for her she wouldn't dance.
No.

Not at all.
Not to this song.

But this song was fading.
And a familiar techno beat started beating within her eardrums.
And she'd stiffen, bringing her fists into the air.

"I love this song!!"

She quickly stood.
Letting those arms that now were resting liply at her sides.
They'd slowly start to rise, her form snaking, swaying form side to side like a snake as she slowly walked towards the crowed.

"Kurayami o motome odoru hyouryuu jinsei ten no hikari ni honrousareru."

Lips singing along with the Japanese tune, arms now twirling in the air as she made her way through that crowed, not the care int he world if she'd bump into anyone.

"Kage no kibou hi no ganbou shiki no yosou setsunaru ishi nami ni notte nami ni notte nami ni notte."

She had enveloped herself within the crowed, arms twirling in a liquid motion above her head as she danced. Slightly jumping lightly upon her feet, as her hips rolled about on that small frame.

The sleeves of her Kimono would slip, falling down slightly to reveal a bit more of her arms. A few of her bandages peeking through, covering that injury upon her wrist, but if anyone saw, she didn't care.

The music was blasting, drowning out every sound, every thought. She couldn't even hear her own heartbeat.

Only the music.

[valekin]

Valekin put his finger to his hidden ear. Pushing in a button on the side, it was a mic and ear piece. Oh goodie, he was acting guard. He spoke clearly through the device, without a russian accent, and without emotion. Though the creepy waves of sound remained the same. You could tell just by listening to him that he's a monster.

"We have a code 26 in progress. One male, one female, top deck. Seal the deck."

He let go of the ear piece and stepped within sight. Letting his front be bathed in light. The boy really shouldn't have taken an assault stance without talking to Valekin first. This showed that the boy was potentially hostile. This meant that he might have to neutralize that threat.

"Put the weapon on the deck, and leave the deck. If you do not comply, I will be forced to remove you from the deck. If you resist, I will be forced to neutralize. I repeat, put the weapon on the deck, and leave the deck. Now, comply."

He said calmly, hands at his sides, the gauntlets in plain view. His trench coat kept the weapon that was on him at all times hidden. He spoke in a boring authoritative voice, without an accent again. As if mimicking a robot. It passed quite well. If Mitsuki didn't know his nature better, he would have fooled them both. The youngster probably shouldn't have worn the weapon anyway, that was a stupid decision. Why bring a weapon to a school dance, that was absurd. It was as if you were asking to be caught, and arrested.

[Kevin Collessano-Alvari]

First, techno, then something he recognized...then more techno?

AND it was in a language he didn't know well? God.

But if it got her moving, he could dig it. Kevin swaggered behind her, hands in his pockets, bare chest exposed as he weaved through people, the tall teen sticking out like a sore thumb due to his size & color scheme. But it was okay.

Somewhere in the pit of his stomach, he felt like he needed to go up to deck. Vague's text message, a shadow on deck & a weapon flashed through the slightly dazed mind of Kevin right now; things better go quick & enjoyably so he could get up there...it was good to have a bond with someone that was more than just natural 'I wonder where they are...' senses.

He needed to get upstairs, but he also had a dilemma with a girl who'd been through it, obviously. He'd wait it out more as he'd creep up behind Calamity, sliding his palms against hers, locking fingers & making sure her arms stayed in the air, slightly behind his head, which may make her lean in against him---perfect positioning as he felt chest touch back, & groin against smooth, round bliss that he sought after.

Gotta love the ol' grind, yeah?

[Jenna Scorn]

Her body twirled within the crowed, snaking form side to side, at first those movements had been slow but as the beat had quickened so did she. Those hips rounded, dipping form side to side with the beat, feet moving beneath her as that music was blaring, still drowning out all of her senses.

But it wasn't long before she felt Kevin's hands against her own, gripping them within her own and she'd gladly take them. Body still wavering, but she was drawn to him now, and it was he who had reeled her in. Bringing her hands close to his body, and her back close to him.

Those lids opened quickly.
He was grinding against her.
Her body had stiffened against him, those graceful movements now were slowed as she'd lift her head to peek over her shoulder and at the darker haired boy. Taking a small step forward, letting that closeness between them now fill with a space.

Her face was displayed to him, to the rest of the crowed. Still sitting a top her head, rather crookedly.

She took a deep breath.

This sort of dancing, was one she'd never partaken in one before.
But it seemed that everyone else was enjoying it, so it couldn't have been too bad.

Now, as if to hide herself from this shameful deed, though it wasn't very shameful to herself, she'd pull that mask down. The white Fox themed kabuki mask shielding her face from the crowed, licking her lower lip for a moment before relaxing against him.

It felt nice.
The warmth of another being.

"Mousugu hibiku yureru SMOKING FLOOR DJ no ude ni takusu MOTH no tai."

And she was singing again.
Lips forming words, words she'd known well.

"karada o someteiru ketsuryuu no nami kore ni mi o azukereba master. Mind, Razor, Bust, strobe channel. Flashback, On the beat."

[seishounohana]

Emily seemed to forget about Ender when she heard a certain clapping of hands not so far from here. There were people circling a couple. Looks like something fun! Emily nudged someone random and asked, "What's happening?"

"Some guy just proposed..."

Emily's alcohol high crashed. An assosiation rung on her ears.

Love.

What is it?

What does it feel to be loved?... well.. in a romantic sort of way? Sure she had novels and all, but... she's never really bothered to have interest in the opposite sex. Kind of weird for someone her age, where most females would squeal at the sight of a handsome young man passing by... then a wink...

... just ... EW. The thought made her shudder.

The girl walked to a table at the other side of the room, sitting on a chair with her head leaning on her hand. She wasn't as drunk as she thought she was - or was she?

People were dancing, having fun with other people. Well, she had fun... somewhat. Too much drinking though. She sighed and watched them again, as usual... back to her normal nonchalant self. That alcohol faded fast... how dull.

[Kevin Collessano-Alvari]

Kevin was almost about to ask her if she was alright when she backed away---then she lowered her mask & backed up into him again.

...Kevin immediately 'pitched tent' when a fantasy came to his mind: sex with nothing but her mask on. The 'Mystery Lover' situation. God, it was making him just want to take her right then & there, & it showed as his body snaked against hers hard for a moment, though he'd gained control of himself & returned to his normal, easy, soft & sensual rhythm. For someone who was drunk, he could manage decently.

Kevin leaned in to the lady once she was done reciting what was obviously her favorite lines thus far. "...You don't have to go anywhere. You can even keep the mask if you feel more comfortable with it. Just don't go anywhere..."

[Jenna Scorn]

When he pressed himself against her, hard mind you, almost roughly she'd glanced back at him. Swallowing, those blue eyes peering at him through the mask. She'd only look at him for a moment before letting her eyes close, gently tilting her head tot he side.

Swaying with the beat, letting those shoulders sink and rise with the music, hips doing the same as well. Completely lost in the music now, Hips swaying to that quick tune, her body was graceful against his, keeping along with the beat.


"...You don't have to go anywhere."

Eyes opened, lids parting to let those blue orbs glance up at him through that mask.

"You can even keep the mask if you feel more comfortable with it. Just don't go anywhere..."

Slowly looking away, glancing off to the side for a moment before letting those eyes close again.Where was she going to go?
