P A R T Y ! [event]

[ωΘĿƒ]

It was a great day for a party. Are you kidding? It was a fabulous day for a party! The skies were clear and blue, just getting dark and ushering in a fantastic night for fun. The entire house had been talked into hosting it, so all the rooms were decorated, including the lobby and tv room. The streamers were hung, the food was out, the random sparkly things that hung from the ceiling and spun for no apparent reason sent glowing spots dancing off the walls, and, last but not least, someone had found a disco ball and hung it right in the center of the room. It wasn't Caroline's idea, but it had turned out relatively well, considering disco died before she was born. If nothing else, it helped with the atmosphere, and atmosphere was everything at a party. She managed to talk one of her roommates out of her ipod, and with a little help from the science geeks, had hooked up a speaker system throughout the house. Now that was atmosphere! She was just setting out the last of the food when the speakers started pumping and all her helpers started dancing to the music.

"Hey!" She yelled. "We have to decorate the outside too!"

No one was listening anymore. They were too pumped. She felt like that too. She really wanted to just let go and go all out, and she couldn't take being "the responsible one" anymore. She shrugged, and taking one of the chips from the bowl she had set down, she jumped into the center of the room with everyone else.

Ah, it was good to feel at home again.

[Elle]

Elle stood just outside the house, looking up at the intimidating doors. She was biting her knuckle and debating whether or not she should go in. Scratching the back of her neck as she often did when she was nervous, she shifted her weight gazing at the doors for several minutes.

She heard the music blasting. It did sound like fun. She took a look behind her. Then, holding her breath, she quietly pushed open the door and slipped inside.

[neigh]

Lily walked in shyly. She had never been to a party before. She was a little nervous but also excited. She looked around and listened to the blasting music. So this was what a party was like.

[Elle]

Elle watched the others dancing, but of course, she'd never risk embarassing herself by joining them. She noticed another girl sidle in as shyly as she had. Elle smiled to herself. At least she wasn't the only one who was nervous here. She cautiously walked over to a table and picked up a chip as she watched the others, wondering what to do next.

[ωΘĿƒ]

As expected, Z eventually got around to strolling into the party. He'd been a little late, but he'd had lots of things to do. Organizing the raid and such was hard work, more so than one would think. But, he got to relax now, so he wasn't complaining. Idly, he wondered if there would be any liquor, and remembered that the party was one hosted at school. Oh well... A sugar high would have to do then.

He passed two girls on the way in, smiling at them in greeting and jumping fearlessly right into the activity. Ah, he loved a good party. He wondered if Illia or ice princess would be there. Or even those two girls from the lab. If not, he could always grab someone else to make small talk with.

And eventually, he had to do something to spice this party up.

* * *

Caroline was going crazy, talking to people and generally having a good time. She slid over ot the refreshments table and scooped up a handful of little peanuts and potato chips. Mmmm. High sodium content. Nothing like some good junk food to start off the night! She noticed that some of the kids looked out of place here, and laughed quietly to herself. If they weren't going to have fun, then why come at all? They should let loose! Go wild! That was the whole purpose of a party!

She passed them by on her way back into the action, but didn't bother to greet them. She really liked this song, and need to dance now! The guest could wait!

[Iƪƪia]

There was a crashing sound as the doors were flung open dramatically, and Illia strutted into the party. She noticed a few people eying her strangely, but she didn't mind. After all, she needed to make a grand entrance. They were lucky she decided to show up. Oh yes, so lucky. She looked over the wave of bodies in the center of the room, unable to clearly distinguish anyone she knew.

In need of a better post, she slipped past the uncoordinated group and agilely made her way to the other end of the room. Leaning against the table, she surveyed the room, looking for someone she knew. She really needed something to get her mind off the upcoming raid.

[amber989]

Tired, she's now returning to her dorms. It's a long time. Right now, its like, 12am? Well, about that time. She walked and heard some noise. Thinking it was her imagination, she ignored it. She's kinda sleepy, so she thought it's her brain making fun of her. As she walk closer to the dorm, it got louder.

She touched the door. It was vibrating. A sign of...party? This late- No, parties are common during the midnight, but, aren't there teachers to control them? Or even the dorm leader? This is...kind weird.

She opened the door and- As she expected, lots of students are dancing around, talking around party around. Her plan for a good night rest is ruined. Sleeping now wouldn't help either. The vibration is...to much. So she quietly sat on the sofa, watching them having fun.

[ωΘĿƒ]

Z noticed the doors slamming and saw Illia enter, happily ready for the fun.

"Hey!" He shouted, over the din of voices. He waded through the crowd of people, trying to reach Illia. He cut through two Congo lines and a group of kids dancing too close together to do it. Oops. By the time he'd reached Illia, there was a trail of angry glares behind him.

"Made it to the party, hmm?" He asked, ignoring the death threats uttered by those disturbed. He didn't want to mention the raid. This wasn't the time for that. Now, it was time to let loose. He'd worry about all that "responsibility" stuff later.

* * *

Just as Caroline's soul-song ended, she noticed the girl that had come in and sat down on the couch. Hmm, that was odd. She'd seen her around, but never really got to talk to her before. She looked like the quiet type, but she didn't think she'd be this quiet! It was practically criminal!

Caroline maneuvered through the throng to reach the girl, snagging a cup of punch and a handful of cheetos as she did so.

"Hey," She said, sitting next to the girl, "What's wrong? Don't you want to dance?"

Without warning, she shoved the cup and the cheetos into the girl's hands.

"Here, come on. Live a little! We're gonna have party games soon!"

She smiled sweetly, trying to coax the girl into playing along. She looked so lonely here...

[amber989]

Her head seems to be staring at the floor. When a girl approached her, she just used her eyes to look at the girl. So to the girl, Mizore looked like she didn't response to her. Then Mizore looked at her with her head faced to the girl. But now with her eyes looked away in...er...embarrasment?

"Uh. No. Thank you." That's all she could say in this kind of situation .

[yuki]

Arabella walked through the doors, entering the party. She looked around at all of the people there.
Oh crap. I'm late.
Arabella was horrible on being on time to parties. She couldn't decide what to wear. But eventually, Ara picked out her red lace dress. It was perfect to wear to this!
She glided through the bodies crowding the dance floor and found Lily shyly standing in the middle of the commotion.
"Hey," Ara greeted her. "You made it to the party!" She had to talk over the blasting music.

[ωΘĿƒ]

Caroline only smiled at the shy new girl.

"Um, what's your name anyways? I've seen you around, but I don't know you."

She held out her hand.

"I'm Caroline, but you can call me Car."

She was trying really hard to make friends with this girl. She seemed nice enough, and who knows, maybe they could chat? Caroline needed someone to chat with. The people here were boring her and she thought maybe one of the shy people would have something interesting to say. They had to say at least something, right?

[Elle]

Upon seeing Illia, Elle headed over to her immediately. It's true that she doesn't know Illia that well, but she doesn't know anyone else here much better. Besides, Illia seemed trustworthy. So she followed her like this. It was just in her nature.

Another boy got to Illia befor she did and started talking to her. Great. Elle walked around the table Illia was leaning on and was about to say something. However, her darn nerves got the best of her, and she ended up just standing there like an idiot.

[athena]

Athena hung at the edges of the party. She could see Z from her veiwpoint, although it had taken the unicorn-in-disguise a moment to recognize the dragon-in-disguise as the troll-killed from her training class. But yes, it was the same jock she had fought alongside; obviously, there was more to the guy than scales and gore. The black haired teenager had also seen Illia - or someone who looked like her, anyways - walking around earlier. But leaning against the wall now, Athena didn't see anyone she recognized.

Sighing, the unicorn wondered why she had bothered to come, and then remembered. She had lost a bet with one of her science class-mates. He had been right about the homework, and she had had to dress up and go this stupid party. Oh, and bring back something that showed she had been - an invitation, or whatever else she could find for proof. Snap a picture, maybe get someone to vouch for her.

Either way, the peirced teen was dressed now in tight, slightly torn light blue jeans, a black tank-top with an unzipped dark silver jacket over it, and some old Dockers on her currently uncloven feet.

[Iƪƪia]

"Fancy meeting you here."

Illia smiled when Z rushed up to her. He did have a habit of showing up wherever there was a crowd. She looked over all the people dancing, some were at the food table... Some were just chatting. Yes, your typical party. With a sigh, Illia continued her scan of the room when she caught sight of someone out of the corner of her eyes. She looked across the table at the silent addition. She was the dragon-girl from the lake. Her name was... Er... Silently, Illia cursed her inability to remember names.

"Elle!" It suddenly clicked, "Some party, huh? Well, not really."

She noticed some boy give her a scornful look as she said these words, and she just smiled sweetly at him in response. He must have helped with the party.

"It's just... Unoriginal," She looked back at Elle and Z, "We should really do something to make this party interesting."

[ωΘĿƒ]

The dragon only smiled, a warm, boiling feeling rising in his blood.

"I love it when you read my mind."

He was already mapping the place out. Kitchen, tables, chairs, food, people, bedrooms. All of it sucked into his head and placed in a mini model for planning. Hmmm. What could he do? What could truly be that interesting?

He was used to doing the planning alone, but quickly he remembered he now had a partner in crime. Well, wasn't that nice then?

"Have any suggestions in particular?" He was eager to hear the chimera's response, but held it back in the guise of plucking one of the snacks from the food table.
