Aliquam: Tobias' Gala - Dance FloorEven after all the screaming at Dylan, he stood there with a near blank expression on his face. Only after Syed looked back to Amy did the matter artist seem to snap back to reality. "I- I'm sorry, what happened?"
Amy laughed so hard it sounded like a cackle. She couldn't help it. Who knew pigs could be so funny? She continued sipping away at her champagne glass, and with her other hand she made a sharp peace sign by her neck. Almost like some gangster. As soon as she finished her drink - "You try hanging around a punk rat for too long and you become a master in no time!" - she chucked her glass forward again... only it slipped and flipped behind her as a result. A deft waitress who pretty much waited for that to happen caught it and departed.
With the movements of Dalia and her fanboys, as well as both Rose and Lute moments ago, some of the dancers from the middle floor had cleared up a bit. At least, enough to see a particular redhead in a gorgeous white dress stick out. With some nobody wrapping his arms around her (or attempting to, at least). "Hehehe," Amy snickered, wrapping her arms around both Aria and Moira as she nudged in Estelle's direction. "Heeey, woudlja look at that!"
Trixie's sights were still on the nose-blooded boy when Xandra offered to dip marshmallows into something. Trixie cocked her head, drawing a look of perplexity beneath her mask. "Huh?? Dip it in his
blood?? Oh Xanny I think you're the..." she turned around to see the metallurgist dipping her sweets into a chocolate fountain. "...criminal mastermind... ... ohhh. Chocolate dip- okay yeah, that sounds a lot better than blood."
Trixie helped herself to dipping the sweet, sweet marshmallows in chocolate as well. The taste was absolutely mesmerizing. She had never eaten the two together before. It was obvious in her face - her smile quivered and tiny tears sparkled in her eyes. It was so brilliantly rich. So rich that her cupcake dropped to the floor while heaven danced on her tastebuds and she didn't even notice.
But then she remembered what Xandra said as soon as she swallowed down everything. While the food was indeed not poisoned... they could be being spied on
this very second. Despite Xandra's attempt to rest at a free table, her metallic wrist was yanked by Trixie as she dragged her back to the dance floor. "Sit? Sit!? We cannot sit while there is evil afoot... any minion I mean sidekick of mine should know this... now, lemme see..."
Some dancers seemed as inebriated as Amy and Moira, though they weren't making nearly as much noise. One of the
fancier white suits had a cool mini-binoculars-on-a-stick dangling from his pocket, and Trixie was quick to swipe it. With it pressed to her face against her mask, she scanned the entire dance floor for hiding baddies - "Yep, Amy's drunk again all right..." - and stopped as soon as she landed on Estelle's backside. Turned out the duo wounded up right next to their redheaded leader again! She gave her super secret scanny thing to Xandra. "Here, you look for some bad guys too!"
As for the blond masked kid, he didn't seem to mind Estelle's bashfulness and was excited she would be willing to dance. She was the first who'd accepted his request! The poor, poor guy. The next song was a slow one, and he knew well it meant doing that awkward sway thing. So he had his hands on Estelle's waist - though they hovered entirely, which made his poor footing even more awkward. "Oh, geez, I'm... I don't know if I... I, uh... thank you for..."
The little imp cooed behind Estelle. "Oooh... I'm telling Marcus~"
And the boy's eyes widened, even beneath his mask. "M, Marcus? Wait, wait, do you have a boyfriend...!? Oh, oh gods." His hands dropped from Estelle's instantly. With the snatched towel already on the floor, little blood droplets began to dribble down his nostril again "I am
so sorry!"
Aliquam: Tobias' Gala - Second Floor (Recreation Room)Outside of poker, Angel would have sputtered at Sebastian's brashness. But considering the steed was his most consistent gaming buddy, this was not uncommon for him. Like Marcus, he made sure to keep a straight face the entire time. Even if this was all pre-flop. Whether this was a bluff or not, Angel knew this method was enough to scare off anyone with a relatively poor hand from even trying.
Angel looked back to his cards. Nine of hearts and ten of hearts. If his luck served him well today, he'd win with a straight flush, but - "Well, that's a fold for me." He let his cards flop on the table surface, leaned back, and crossed his arms. Once everyone reacted (with Hannah throwing in everything she had too??), Angel paused briefly before drawing the first three community cards in the center of the table.
Ace of Spades. King of Diamonds. Three of Diamonds.
Angel silently sighed from his nose. No telling what the next two cards could mean for either Hannah or Sebastian; despite the former shoving her cards in Angel's face earlier, he tried to be as ethical as possible and kept his eyes off them. With his fingers lingering on the middle deck, Angel's eyes turned to Sebastian again. "Okay horsie. You still feeling pretty hot?" His smile still as smug as ever, he made eye contact with all the others as well, whether they were still in the game or not, before drawing the next two cards...
