[open mingle] from my laboratory in the castle east

Who: EVERYONE!
What: Diva's! Birthday! Masquerade!!
When: August 4
Where: the Nadril caves
Warning(s): This is a mingle, so please indicate if your starter isn't OTA. Also: please put any necessary warnings in your subject lines when things pop up!

Atsushi has been planning this for a while now, but needless to say, a certain dragon forced him to adapt his plans, and arguably not for the better. Still, he's determined to make this work! Diva told him she's never had a birthday party in all of her long life, and that is just not all right - so of course he promised her she'd have one this year.

He... should have maybe not said anything, and just done this in secret. Or at least he should have known better than to ask Diva what kind of party she wanted, because she sure had a lot of wishes... That's Diva for you, though. Besides, after more than 170 years without a birthday party, she deserves to say exactly what she wants!

Atsushi has spent more time than he probably should have, decorating a part of Nadril's cave system with fairy lights and anything else he could find. For being in a cave, the setting is very atmospheric! There's food, drinks, and recorded music - not all of it suited for a party, but there are instruments too, for the more talented guests.

A masquerade was Diva's first and foremost wish, and with everyone having limited means and fewer possessions here, masks have kindly been provided by your hosts at the entrance. Some are classy; some are a little unusual; some are -....... Well, you should probably be at the party in time, so all the good masks haven't been taken yet. How well have you disguised yourself? Did you bother to hide your identity at all?

A gift for the birthday vamp is appreciated, but your presence is the biggest gift. There's no better time than the present to forget the unresolved situation elsewhere on the planet, and have a little fun together!

[Don't worry about it. He shuffles so that he's standing beside her, almost shoulder to shoulder and just leans against the wall to make it look like she's having a proper conversation and not just being a wallflower.]

What's there to be nervous about? No one's going to bite you, unless you ask them to. [Hahaha... He actually literally forgot this is a vampire's party because Diva stopped making his Blood Hunter senses ping just by being delightful.]

[She keeps an eye on him. Oh, he's close...he's very close...and she feels an internal scream and she tries not to jerk away. Manners vrs nerves...which will win?

She eyes him though, alarmed.]


B-bite? That's something to worry about?!

[Good job Molly, she didn't know about vampires.]

No, no, I think they're more polite than that, dear. [Okay, he's gonna have to tone it down. She's breaking his heart here. Underneath all that smarm and sass there's a guy who is very protective of those in dire situations... and apparently being fraught with emotions is dire.]

It would kill the mood of the entire party and everyone's having so much fun.

O-oh...oh.

[She took in a deep steadying breath, her hand on her chest. So much for smarm and sass, he needed to look out for this hot mess.]

Oh good. I...I didn't know that was, was a thing.

[Another deep breath. And out.]

Sorry...I'm kind of a mess.
mollymocked: (⚔ that you need to hide your face)

[personal profile] mollymocked 2018-08-11 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
In my experience, everyone's a mess... Just in vastly different ways.

[WHO HURT THIS GIRL.] But you came out here to have a good time, and you should have a good time. Better than good. The best time. So what can I do to expedite that process? What's the one thing you enjoy doing over all else?

[She's only hurt herself. By tripping. MOSTLY.]

Y-yes I'm just...a...I'm not sure what.

[She tries to laugh a little but it comes out warbly at best.]

I came here to dance for Diva's birthday so...um....dancing?
mollymocked: (⚔ 'cause once you see it)

Excellent. [He holds out a hand, which would be fine if his nails weren't sharpened to a clawlike point and the snake tattoos on and above his palm weren't so prominent. He can control how he looks and he looks fabulous, but some times are always going to make people a bit nervous.

But watch him.]
You're in the presence of someone who is in desperate need of a good dance partner.

[Yeah those nails were kind of...much. The tattoos didn't make her bat an eye; she thought it was more or less like makeup. Claws, she was used to being aimed to claw into her.]

Y...you do?

[She nibbles her lip. Straightens up and lightly makes to press her palm against his.]

Well. I can...do something about that.
