[b][u] Aliquam: Tobias’ Gala [/b][/u]

Somehow Aria managed to make her way up the staircase without tripping and falling while being dragged by a very enthusiastic Trixie, a rather impressive feat considering it was both pitch black and that she was very much drunk off her feet. She could barely discern who the other person with them was, but eventually made out the outline of a panda hat through the gloom that revealed it to be Lucien. 

She watched with a drunken smile as Trixie held up the room, supported by Lucien whose efforts were quickly rewarded by a handbag to the face. She winced along with the other guests in the room at the resounding smack that echoed- what on earth was the woman carrying in her handbag?

Moira and Syed followed in shortly, the latter carrying a light, which upon closer inspection, turned out to be a lightbulb. The handbag wielding woman didn’t seem to hear Syed over her own shrieks about being falsely accused by someone who would wear a panda to a gala, and instead Aria stepped up, placing a hand on the woman’s shoulder with a smile and trying hard not to slur her words.

“Assault’s hardly a good way of proving innocence, no?”

The woman turned back to glare at whoever had dared to touch her, only to reel back with a scream at the sight of a tall faceless mass leering down at her. Another blink and the figure was gone, replaced by a giggling Aria who tugged Lucien back to safety. 

“I’ve rescued the princess!” She struck a victorious pose, before eyeing the gasping woman with a wide smirk on her face. “Aaaaanyways, do any of you know anything about the blackout? Seen any suspicious creepers? Or funny looking people with pliers or wire-cutters or whatever weird things can break generators?”
