[b]Tobias' Gala - 2F Parlour Room[/b]
Clink clink clink.

Moira was the first to notice it, positioned where she was and halfway through heaving herself away from the table and towards the door. It rolled through Syed's shadow and under his feet, before finally coming to a rest in the middle of the room, well illuminated by his light.

"What the fuck is-" she started, while Syed could do nothing but widen his eyes in suprise.

There was a muted bang as the flash grenade detonated, and suddenly screams erupted pretty much everywhere. The noise in the room pretty much drowned out any chance to hear the footsteps of the figure shooting past outside. Fuck! The flash was so bright she could still feel it burning her retenas. She pushed her fists against her eyelids in an attempt to lessen the pain. She couldn't see jack shit! She heard the sound of breaking glass as Syed must have dropped the bulb in shock, but as for everyone else...

She felt something touch her, and immediately swung out. She felt her fist collide with an arm wait shit that was Lucien, judging by the yelp. Woops. "Shit! Urgh!" she exclaimed in place of actually apologising. "What's going on?!"

"Lucien? What happened?" Syed called out, similarly recognising his voice. Syed's own voice sounded strained as he attempted to keep his own panic under control. "Trixie?! Aria? You two okay?"

The pain lessened fairly quickly thankfully, although her eyes were now watering like no tomorrow. Moira fumbled blindly, attempting to locate the wall to give her at least some bearing as to where she was. What she got was a second smashing noise, this time of pottery. Oh, um. Double woops.

That was when she felt the all-too-familiar sensation of the hair on her arms and the back of her neck standing on end with static. Clever boy, that one. It was brief, however, before she heard the sound of hesitant footsteps as Syed attempted to locate the two girls. He had managed to locate Trixie at least, and held her hand as he guided them both towards where he hoped Aria was. "Aria?"

Moira blinked rapidly. Well, the white was just beginning to fade to the point where she was starting to be able to tell the difference between light and dark again, but since the room was so dark she still couldn't see shit beyone a couple of vague shapes. They needed to get on the balcony, if something was happening they needed to be [i]there[/i]. It was pretty unlikely anything would happen in this room after all. "Come on!" she exclaimed, turning around and walking smack into a wall next to the door with a loud thud, nearly tugging Syed over with their bond as she did so.
