CLP RIGHT NOW opened memo on board PARTY AT MARZIPANS.
CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] is, of course, the first to arrive. What less would you expect from Mariza's moirail? --
CIF: >-(Hehehe. :K At long lazt, hvh?)o>
CLP: }yes. i told you to be here ten minutes ago, really.{
CIF: >-(Heehehe. Well. Yov know.)o>
CIF: >-(I'm ztill early!)o>
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] props the door open with a stone and gestures at karran to enter. There are pink and blue tablecloths on every surface, and various refreshments placed around the main living area of the hive. --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] smiles, entering and looking around. --
CIF: >-(Pity the chancez of thiz getting mezzed vp before the end of the night are high.)o>
CIF: >-(It'z qvite pretty. :K)o>
CLP: }don't say such a thing, it will be fine.{
CLP: }i refuse to let anyone screw tonight up for me.{
CIF: >-(That'z the zpirit!)o>
CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] happily struts right up to the door of Mariza's hive, grinning as wide as she possibly can. She has Markor in tow bearing gifts of great joy- twelve greyish hats with each of the troll's insignias emblazoned on the front in vivid color. They are predictably made entirely out of feathers. --
CPC: ~~Mariza I brought the hats
CLP: }oh, wonderful! please do set them on the table there.{
CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] is right on Apodah's heels, and desperately pretending he does not see the hats. Perhaps if he ignores them, they will go away. --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] gestures at an empty table, without looking at the hats first. --
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] begrudgingly follows mariza's instructions, putting the hats down rather unceremoniously. --
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] giggles and continues to grin, horrifically proud of herself, before setting up the hats neatly in little groups. Those groups totally are't the quadrants she knows about no sir. --
CIU: ...... apodah,, what are you......
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] turns around, now bearing a tray of iced teas, finally looking at the hats. --
CLP: }oh.{
CLP: }those are.{
CLP: }lovely.{
CIF: >-(Aren't they jvzt? :K)o>
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] does not seem to be being sarcastic. --
CPC: ~~Thank you
CPC: ~~I also brought a couple bags of candy for everybody
CPC: ~~If thats okay that is
CLP: }of course it is! {
CLP: }there's a table there with refreshments, you may place them there.{
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] lets loose a sort of snorting breath, and looks around for the refreshment table. Because, of course, he's carrying the bags of candy, too. --
CIU: i will..
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] does. --
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] giggles again and does a little spin. She is way too excited about this party oh my gosh. --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] smiles as well as she sees little apodah bouncing around --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] is glad she's not the only one who was actually looking forward to this --
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] looks over at Mariza for the first time, and almost double takes. --
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] is, however, smart enough to KEEP HIS FACEHOLE SHUT. --
CIF: >-(I'll be taking a zeat, if yov don't mind, Mariza. :K)o>
CLP: }please, feel free!{
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] takes a seat in the nearest chair; he was about to kick his feet up onto the table, but thinks better of it. --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] looks at karran --
CLP: }i know what you're thinking{
CLP: }keep your feet off the furniture, karran.{
CIF: >-(I'm going to. <:K)o>
CIF: >-(Geeze.)o>
CURRENT otocyonScarecrow [COS] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
-- CURRENT otocyonScarecrow [COS] struts in through the open door with an almost plolite looking smile on her face. She hovers in to doorway for a second to inspect the early guest and, of course, her hostess. A more wicked grin stretched her lips over her sharp canines. --
COS: Mariza.
COS: Darling.
COS: What a unique fashion statement.
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] turns to the newcomer, giving her a smile --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] smiles thinly, but knows it's not his place to comment. --
CLP: }hello, vikzen. thank you for coming.{
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] pointedly avoids eye contact. --
CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] is following slowly behind Vikzen, her eyes darting around. She's not quite sure what to think about all of this...or them --
CLP: }there is a hat there on the table for you, and please help yourself to refreshments.{
COS: Oh Mariza I shall get to Apodahs lovely hat in a moment.
COS: Can we talk about your lovely new necklace first?
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] mutters --
CIU: stop,, vikzen..
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] finally looks at Mariza and gapes for a second in shock. --
-- CURRENT otocyonScarecrow [COS] looks as though she's doing all she can to keep from bursting into a cackle. --
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] does a stunning remove-himself-from-this-conversation and sidesteps so he's standing nearer to Otsana, though he doesn't say anything to her. --
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] looks up at Vikzen, wondering what the other is doing...just...remaining quiet. --
CLP: }oh, don't the pearls compliment me well?{
CLP: }it was a gift.{
CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] has tucked himself in behind Vikzen, and he seems to be holding on tightly to the hem of her shirt, looking around widely. He examines everyone quickly, zeroing in on Karran's face with a dark look before turning his attention to Mariza. --
COS: And what a lovely gift it is. Pearls certainly suit you.
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] does not miss this, and waves cheerfully at Tytoni. --
COS: 7he height of extreme fashion as always.
CIF: >-(Izn't zhe jvzt? :K)o>
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] follows in behind Otsana, glancing around in a significantly more relaxed fashion. Her fists are clenched pretty damn tightly though. --
CIU: hello,, umieri..
COS: Oh Karran dear your moirail is just lovely.
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] speaks in low tones --
CIU: welkome to the shitstorm..
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] reaches out, taking one of her moirail's hands, unsure what to say as her Matesprit is currently being...rather agressive. --
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] carefully waggles his fingers back before settling into an expressionless stare at the highblood. --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] pointedly ignores markor --
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] answers just as quietly, squeezing Otsana's hand a bit. --
CLP: }please, everyone do help yourself to refreshments. there are grubcakes and teas and apodah brought some candies for you all.{
CIF: >-(I think it zvitz her. :K)o>
CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] stops short of walking into the room, choosing instead to knock lightly on the already open door before letting himself in --
CLL: Glad that I did not miss anything.
-- CURRENT otocyonScarecrow [COS] gives Mariza a grin before turning from her and actually grabber her hat from the table. She grabs Tytoni's as well, placing it on his head. --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] looks at Tytoni; he curls his lip in a sort of nonverbal '/what?/', but averts his attention following that. --
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] moves closer to the other's side, feeling safer near her moirail, as she's rather unsure what's going on. --
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] spots Tytoni and, noting the dark look on his face, goes over to chat with him --
CLL: Candy sounds absolutely delightful actually.
CSL: candy?
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] finally turns his attention away from Karran to inspect the hat Vikzen placed on his head. He smiles faintly at it before putting it back on. --
CIU: it is of apodah''s making..
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] carefully leads Otsana over to the table for hats, and then to the refreshments for snacks. Eating candy is always a great way to stay out of the way. --
CAP: 00h, hi, Skyl00s.
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] brings the tray of drinks she has been holding to where karran is sitting, handing him a glass. --
CRC: 'i Tytoni! glaD you maDe it 'ewe safe!
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] takes a cup, lifting it in a pseudo-toast. --
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] follows, putting on her hat, and then carefully taking the candy in her claws, watching everyone intently. --
CIF: >-(Thank yov, Mariza. :K)o>
CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] slowly crosses the threshold of the hive, an uneasy look on her face. She was absolutely not looking forward to this party. Her hand tightly clenches Ommati's as she steps into the party. --
CAP: Same. I'm m00re glad I g00t 00ut 00f that tree with00ut getting m00re hurt.
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] is still watching Mariza quietly, but her attention turns towards the door as yet more trolls enter. --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] is pointedly ignoring Chorda as she enters. --
CIF: >-(Who'z left to arrive, Mariza?)o>
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] 's attention immediately flicks to the door and he inspects the newcomers, eyes widening as he takes in Chorda's manner and appearance. And, well, Ommati. --
CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] enters at chorda's side, taking a look around the large living area. he lets go of her hand to wave his good arm at the others. --
CDD: hello, everyone!!!
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] goes over to get one of the drinks, and the hat that Apodah made for him --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] does not acknowledge the rustblood, but nods to chorda. --
CRC: 'ii Ommati!!
CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] enters last, on a slight delay after Ommati. He's as close to folded in on himself as he can be while still standing upright; he's gripping the taxidermy lion that Ommati gave him tightly with both arms, and looks like he would rather be just about anywhere but here. --
CLP: }hello, chorda. please do help yourself to any refreshments, and have a seat if you wish.{
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] looks at a loss of what to do without his hand in hers. Her eyes glance over Karran and she glares before quickly averting her gaze to Mariza instead. --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] takes a sip of his drink. --
CIF: >-(Gang'z all here.)o>
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] gapes once again as she sees Ommati's arm, letting out the quietest little shocked squeak. --
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] mutters under his breath, so no one can hear: --
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] waves to Skylos, noting everyone who just walked in with that cornered predator's gaze, her hand tightening on her moirail's. --
CAP: 00h gHOOd, d00es that mean we can all leave n00w
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] actually stops for a moment, noting the tension in the room. She subtly leans over to whisper to her moirail. --
COS: Now now 7ytoni.
COS: We have only just arrived.
COS: Im sure this party shall be very entertaining.
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] walks to the door, gesturing the three newcomers further in before closing the door. --
CLL: If shit hits the uhirrling device ue should prrobably be nearr the doorr.
—CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] waves back to Otsana, making his way toward her, also nothing the tension in the room
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] scoots further into the room, quickly passing Karran in favor of the hat table. She felt too queasy to eat. --
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] nods and stays as close to the other as possible, whispering back. --
CLP: }how are you, chorda, tertus?{
CSL: i dø nøt like thi§ øne bit...
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] immediately all but plasters himself up against the wall, staring at the floor. --
CTF: -,=,<these are cute did you make them apodah>,=,-
CTT: fin3 fin3 fin3
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] nods in agreement before quietly continuing to nibble at the candy provided. Might as well try to act normal right? --
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] blinks after a second before looking over at Chorda, her focus broken. --
CPC: ~~Oh
CAP: I'm... g00ing t00 g00 mingle while y00u ... chat. Alright?
CPC: ~~Uh
CPC: ~~Yeah I did
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] cranes his neck to look at Chorda, impassively. --
COS: Feel free.
CIF: >-(Hey. Grab me my hat.)o>
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] grabs his and tertus's hat, putting his on his head before joining tertus by the wall. he places tertus's on his moirail's head for him. --
CPC: ~~I tried to find feather that matched everybodys blood colors
CTF: -,=,<theyre nice you did a good job>,=,-
CPC: ~~Oh gosh thank you Chorda
CLP: }she really did. thank you, apodah.{
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] tries her hardest to ignore the higher blood in the room. --
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] mumbles --
CTT: ommati do w3 hav3 to b3 h3r3 h3r3 h3r3
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] grins proudly, giggling. --
CLP: }chorda, my hands are a little full. won't you bring my moirail his?{
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] mutters as well --
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] picks up her hat and clutches it to her chest tightly as she quickly searches the room for her matesprit. She spots him against the wall and is about to make her way over when Mariza speaks to her. --
CTF: -,=,<must i>,=,-
CDD: because there's going to be drama bombs tonight and i need to be here for chorda.
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] has grabbed a handful of candy and is slowly trying to maneuver herself and Otsana in a favorable position to not get murdered. --
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] lets go of Vikzen and quietly makes his unsteady way over to Ommati and Tertus. He smiles gingerly at them, like even that small movement causes him pain. --
CDD: speaking of which.
CAP: Hi, 00mmati, Tertus.
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] stands up from his position --
CDD: hello, tytoni! i'll leave you with tertus here. one moment.
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] looks up at tytoni. He mumbles something that may be "hi", but is kind of a strangled squeak more than a word. --
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] walks to chorda, and takes the hat from her with a smile. --
CDD: it'll be okay!
CTF: -,=,<are you glubbing serious right now>,=,-
CDD: when am i ever knot?
CAP: I take it y00u d00n't want t00 be here either.
CTF: -,=,<when you make give me a hand jokes>,=,-
CDD: well this time, i'm giving you a hand.
CDD: i only have one.
CDD: be grateful.
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] walks away before she can hit him --
CTF: you are so lucky i love you
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] presses tighter to her moirail's side, leaning to whisper again. --
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] approaches karran, stops a good three steps away, and tosses the hat onto karran's head. --
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] takes the chance to approach Ommati. --
CSL: dø we really have tø §tay i knøw it i§ pølite but....
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] or not --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] smiles thinly -- it still shows his sharp teeth -- and adjusts the hat. Sounds absolutely acidic as he says --
CIF: >-(Thank yov.)o>
CDD: knot a problem!
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] winces and follows Ommati, grabbing his arm to pull him away. --
CTF: -,=,<there he has his hat lets go>,=,-
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] shakes his head in response to tytoni, sliding down against the wall and trying to make himself as small as possible. --
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] continues nibbling and maneuvering. --
CIF: >-(Why be zo rvde?)o>
CIF: >-(It iz a party, after all. Zocialization.)o>
CLL: I do not think that she uill let us leave as easily as that.
CIF: >-(Mariza pvt a lot of work into thiz.)o>
-- CURRENT otocyonScarecrow [COS] approaches Mariza again, leaning into her with a wicked smile. --
COS: 7his party is already very interesting.
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] blinks down at him, cocking his head curiously before he takes up a protective stance between Tertus and the rest of the room. His head might hurt right now, but he's not moving from this spot for anyone. --
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] grabs a handful of candy and brings it over to Chorda and Ommati, holding it out for them. --
CTF: -,=,<she could have put sheets over card board boxes for all i care>,=,-
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] sees Tertus and Tytoni along the wall, noting the distraught look on Tertus' face (or what he can see of it), and goes over to see if they're ok --
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] acknowledges chorda by squeezing her hand, before letting go to take apodah's candy --
CAP: It's 00kay, Tertus.
CPC: ~~So um
CDD: thank you!!!
CPC: ~~Ommati
CDD: yes?
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] becomes SIGNIFICANTLY LESS OKAY when he sees skylos approaching --
CSL: i almø§t dø wi§h i had §tayed in my cave
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] is startled by Apodahs's sudden presence, her angry waning a little. --
CTF: -,=,<oh uh thanks kid>,=,-
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] gets a little quieter so as to be discreet. --
CLP: }isn't it, though?{
CLP: }please, do help yourself to some grubcakes.{
CPC: ~~Are you okay Ommati
COS: I think I shall eat a bit later. I would much rather talk with you some more.
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] looks at Tertus, smiling slightly before trying to initiate conversation --
COS: After all how often am I in the presence of such a lovely high blood?
CDD: of course! i can't really put my finger on why i wouldn't be!
CRC: 'i Tewtus!! 'ow awe you tonig't??
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] does a double take in ommati's direction --
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] tries not to snort. Vikzen is going to get herself killed. --
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] gives the greatest "are you fucking serious" face known to trollkind --
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] is getting a little bit worried about her matesprit potentailly getting hurt this evening. --
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] blinks a couple of times, then giggles a little and smiles at him. --
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] buries face in the hood of his sweatshirt, peering up at skylos from behind a wall of hair and hood --
CTT: fin3 fin3 fin3
CTT: go away way way
CPC: ~~Okay Ommati
CPC: ~~If you say so
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] flicks his eyes between Skylos and Tertus before stepping between them. --
CLP: }oh, you never did visit when i invited you before.{
CLP: }so not very often.{
CLP: }but that's you own fault.{
CAP: Skyl00s, d00 y00u want t00 grab s00me candy with me?
CPC: ~~So how have you two been
CDD: i'd say i've been alright but
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] looks at Tertus, taken aback, before looking back at Tytoni --
CDD: well
COS: Oh my you are absolutely right?
CAP: It lHOOks delici00us.
CRC: Yea', suwe Tytoni!!
CAP: GHOOd.
CIU: you have got to be fukking kidding me..
COS: How could I possibly have denied myself such a treat before?
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] has been edging towards Apodah, and thus towards Ommati, this entire time, and thus, PUNS. --
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] walks over to the candy table to grab some --
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] would relax, but he has no reason to relax. After all, still too many people. --
CTF: -,=,<ommati i swear to cod>,=,-
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] grins despite herself. --
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] smiles at his matesprit, obviously pleased with his cleverness --
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] trails after Skylos, which means that he's finally in range to hear Vikzen's delighhtedly acerbic conversation, and he wrinkles his nose before leaning over to Skylos. --
CPC: ~~I do have to say I feel a little left out
CAP: Hang 00n.
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] sips his drink quietly, putting his feet up on the table almost as though subconsciously --
CPC: ~~I dont get to talk to you guys too often
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] immediately notices --
CLP: }karran.{
CLP: }what did i say.{
CRC: W'at's up Tytoni??
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] pauses and shrugs, almost sheepishly, bringing his feet down off the table. --
CIF: >-(Zorry, Mariza.)o>
COS: Karran be a good high blood and set a better example for all us ruffians beneath you.
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] gives a sidelong glance to vikzen --
CIF: >-(My job iz not to zet an example, Vikzen. :K)o>
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] walks over to Vikzen without answering Skylos first, and he quietly touches her on her elbow, offering her some of the candy he picked up. He sighs at her commentary. --
CAP: Vikzen, let it g00.
-- CURRENT otocyonScarecrow [COS] she frowns at him, but takes the candy anyway. --
COS: It is all fine 7ytoni.
COS: I promise.
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] whispers to Otsana. --
CLL: Okay neu plan
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] makes a face at her. --
CSL: keep my mate§prit frøm dying
CLL: Exactly.
CLP: }if you'll excuse me, vikzen...{
CAP: I'm less certain 00f that than y00u are. As sHOOn as it bec00mes p00lite t00 leave please, can we just g00 back t00 y00ur hive. My head is killing me.
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] takes a tray of cakes and begins to walk around the party, being the good hostess she is. --
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] moves to stand by Vikzen, her eyes looking up to her. --
COS: Are you both not having fun?
CSL: i am nøt cømførtable here
CAP: I was l00st n00t an h00ur ag00 after blacking 00ut f00r a full day. I'm n00t ready n00rmally t00 handle Mariza in full party m00de.
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] stops by karran's seat, adjusting his hat a bit, and handing him a cake --
CLP: }i do hope you are enjoying yourself{
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] grins, all teeth, but it is a genuine smile. --
CIF: >-(Thiz iz qvite entertaining. :K)o>
CIF: >-(And qvite revealing, at that.)o>
CLP: }isn't it, though?{
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] whispers so only he can hear --
COS: I am rather enjoying myself but if you two are feeling so ill placed then I suppose we can leave as soon as it is polite.
CLP: }is it just me, or is vikzen blackflirting with me?{
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] pauses, furrowing his brow. --
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] offers Snapdragon a 'talk to you later' before beginning to go around to the others with bits of candy. Notedly the one who has done nothing but sit by the wall. --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] mutters right back, in that same for-mariza's-listentubes-only tone --
CIF: >-(Pozzibly. I'll keep an eye on her.)o>
CIF: >-(I think maybe yez!)o>
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] nods and gently leans against her. --
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] looks up at Apodah, and seizes a bit. Oh gog why won't people stop approaching him. --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] smiles, unable to hide her excitement, before moving on to others. --
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] approaches Tertus and offers some of the candy to him. --
CTT: i. don't n33d any any any
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] resumes his typical watch of people, particularly Mariza and Karran. --
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] pauses, and the next words come out incredibly awkward and stilted --
CTT: thank you though though though
COS: I was merely having a bit of fun.
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] moves away from Tytoni and Vikzen toward Chorda and Ommati to see how they're doing --
CTF: -,=,<ommati can we please leave>,=,-
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] smiles at him after a second before nodding. --
CPC: ~~Youre very welcome
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] examines the pair of them intensely, noting the necklace and the horn and slowly putting pieces of quite the unspoken tale together. --
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] she continues going around to the others, offering candy left and right. --
CAP: I'm s00rry f00r ruining y00ur fun. Karran and Mariza just seem...
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] passes by tertus, pausing for a moment to offer him a grubcake --
CLP: }i made them myself you know.{
CAP: 00n edge. F00r s00mething right n00w, and I'd prefer my m00irail t00 n00t end up mistakenly dead due t00 a misunderstHOOd blackflirt.
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] almost bites into the stuffed lion in frustration-- he just wants to be left alone-- until he realizes who the third troll who's approached him is --
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] mutters as he, somewhat reluctantly, takes a grubcake. His voice is low, so only Mariza can hear him. --
CTT: is your horn giving you any troubl3 troubl3 troubl3???
COS: 7hey do but I doubt they would do anything at this lovely get together.
COS: Mariza does keep up appearances.
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] 's smile becomes a little less wide as she reaches with the hand that is not carrying the tray to play with the string of jewels around her neck --
CSL: i am nøt cømførtable thinking øf yøu being injured vikzen
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] speaks quietly --
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] glances at her moirail, feeling her stomach turning. --
CLP: }a little better, yes. i chose to not have the bandage for the party. i think it's alright.{
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] more picks at the grubcake than eats it, looking at it rather than mariza --
CTT: you'r3 going to want to, uhm. disinf3ct it. aft3r th3 party. to mak3 sur3 nothing happ3ns to it it it
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] casts a sidelong glance over at where Mariza has stopped. He frowns slightly, but says and does nothing-- yet. --
COS: Otsana please I am not a weak little grub.
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] nods once. --
COS: I can fight just as well as either of them.
CSL: i am nøt §aying yøu are
CLP: }noted. would you like a drink or anything?{
CSL: i knøw yøu can handle a fight øn yøur øwn
CSL: i am §imply expre§§ing my di§ta§te
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] finishes eating the candy apodah handed him, and takes chorda's hand again. --
CTT: no i'm okay okay okay
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] looks back at Otsana, shrugging a little and sucking at a particularly hard piece of candy. --
COS: Very well. I shall endeavor to antagonize less.
CSL: thank yøu
CLP: }please do not hesitate to let me know if you do. i'm nothing if not a good hostess{
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] frowns, and rather overdramatically stands up out of his chair and walks over to Mariza. --
CIF: >-(Zo! What'z going on over here? :K)o>
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] squeezes his hand tightly, looking frazzled and very akin to a fish out of water. --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] says, and he never seems to quite look at tertus --
CLP: }oh, i was just making sure all my guests were comfortable.{
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] examines Mariza and Tertus' quiet conversation, unable to make out anything that is said, until Karran gets up, when he tenses and tightens his hand on the hem of Vikzen's shirt. --
CTF: -,=,<i want to leave and oh my fuck is he reelly trying to talk to tertus>,=,-
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] notes Karran standing up, and immediatly walk to the side of the room furthest away from him --

CIF: >-(:K Hm. Well.)o>
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] is idly wondering how viable a reality "melting into the wall" would be. --
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] squeezes her hand before leading her to the wall where his moirail sits --
CDD: SEW
CDD: how are you, karran?
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] glances sidelong at Ommati and Chorda-- and thoroughly ignores them. --
CIF: >-(I jvzt wanted to know what waz going on, that'z all. :K)o>
CTF: -,=,<thats reelly nosy of you>,=,-
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] currently exists in a chorda-less world --
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] get's some candy off of the table, staring at Mariza and Karran intently --
CDD: you know, karran, it's a shame we don't see each other more often.
COS: See even I am not as instigative as they are.
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] is staring almost wide-eyed at the events going on. She has no idea what to make of this except that she suddenly is really glad she's wearing armor under all this moss. --
CDD: you seam to be up to sew many things online.
-- CURRENT otocyonScarecrow [COS] gestures to the wall party. --
CIF: >-(Really. I dizagree. :K)o>
CAP: I n00ticed.
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] is suddenly utterly fascinated with the grubcake he's picking into crumbs. --
CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] presses against Umeiri's side now, just readying herself for a fight. --
CDD: well, you sure seam to be reeeeeeely interested in my moirail here.
CDD: you know, he means a whole lot to me.
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] seems distressed by the wall party, like he wants to do something about it, but doesn't have the requisite information to do anything at all. --
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] puts his arm around karran's shoulders --
CDD: if you want to be friends with him, you gotta be friends with me too!
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] raises his eyebrows, casting a sidelong look down at Tertus-- and then freezes when ommati throws his arm around his shoulders. --
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] stares wide eyed at what Ommati just did, nearly dropping the candy he picked up --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] deftly ducks, sinking out of Ommati's arm and sidestepping away. --
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] drops her jaw. --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] purses her lips --

CAP: It seems this party might c00me t00 blHOOdshed sHOOner than I predicted.
COS: And you all thought it would be my blood.
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] rises to his full height; he's significantly taller than Ommati, which is no small feat. --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] smiles --
CIF: >-(Neither yov nor any of yovr friendz are worth anything to me.)o>

-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] is none-too-subtly trying to lead Apodah towards the door --
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] 's head starts hurting more and more as the wall party continues talking. His psionics spark slightly at the mention of Tertus' hive and he winces. --
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] grabs her matesprit by the shoulder and makes a feeble attempt to move him. --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] fakes looking thoughtful. --

-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] continues to growl, ignoring the cakes with those eyes watching everyone. --
CLP: }ommati, i must request that you leave no matter your preference.{
CDD: 8I
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] looks like he wants to disagree, but isn't going to disagree with Mariza. --
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] glares at Mariza. --
COS: I think now would be that polite time you two were requesting.
CLP: }chorda, would you like something to drink? there are some more teas on the table over there.{
CLP: }if you would kindly go get them yourself, my hands are a little full.{
CLP: }in fact, you could even take them to go if you wish.{

-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] nods briskly to Vikzen. --
CLP: }well, he is leaving.{
CLP: }isn't he.{
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] frowns, looking sidelong at Mariza. He does not deflate, but he relaxes his posture significantly, and places one hand on Mariza's shoulder. --
CLL: I think that uould be best.
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] grabs Umeiri's hand, looking up with a furious gaze. --
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] doesn't actually move for a moment, caught up in watching the trainwreck in front of him. --

CLP: }then please, leave with your matesprit. your kismesis, however, will be staying, i apologize.{
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] drops the candy he was holding --

-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] gestures broadly at the door --
CAP: 00h.
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] squeezes her hand and heads towards the door, not pausing even for that. --
COS: 7his should be were we leave.
CAP: Suddenly, a l00t 00f things make m00re sense.
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] follows her, leaning in to kiss Vikzen's cheek gently as she hurries off. --
COS: I will message Mariza politely later telling her that her party was lovely.
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] is considering whether or not it's a good idea to leave. --
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] is tightening his grip on apodah's arm, though, prepared to lead her away if need be. --
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] looks at chorda quickly before letting go of her hand to hold his out for tertus --
CDD: tertus, let's go.
CTT: ...
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] seems to almost not hear Vikzen, wrapped up in his own head and in the drama in front of them. --
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] hesitates for a moment, before taking ommati's hand and standing up. --
CSL ceased responding to memo.
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] doesn't wait for either of them and she turns to leave. She waits a few feet outside of the hive for them, her head in her hands as she tries to keep herself from screaming. --
CDD: thank you, mariza, for having us.
CLL ceased responding to memo.
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] leads tertus out --
CDD ceased responding to memo.

-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] remains uncharacteristically quiet, his face just-asuncharacteristically unreadable. --
-- CURRENT otocyonScarecrow [COS] walks slowly up to Mariza, a strangely genuine look on her face. --
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] looks around the room, unsure of what to do to lighten the mood at all --
COS: Your party was lovely.
COS: We must go now but I shall send you a message later.
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] turns to vikzen, her face neutral --
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] just stares at the folks who remain, not quite believing what just happened. --
COS: Have a good evening dear.
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] wants to follow the trio out, but he settles for shadowing Vikzen, his hand curled in her shirt yet again. --
CLP: }it was... nice... to see you, vikzen.{
COS: You as well.
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] frowns. --
COS: Come along 7ytoni.
CIU: apodah.. we will wait a moment before we leave..
-- CURRENT otocyonScarecrow [COS] she turns and strides out the door, not looking back. --
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] stops inside the doorway, and he lets go of his moirail to touch the entrence, very visibly not all there. To himself, but loud enough for others to hear, he says --
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] nods and watches Mariza's face. --
CAP: This is where it all g00es wr00ng. I supp00se it was nice t00 be in the same rHOOm with every00ne f00r 00ne last time.
CAP: I'm s00rry.

-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] watches Tytoni leave, then looks back at the others. --
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] frowns. --
CLP: }thank you, apodah, for the hats and candy. they were lovely.{

-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] looks at Mariza, nodding --
CIU: i apologize that your party went this way,, mariza..
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] swallows hard, unsure of what to say --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] nods to markor --
CLP: }thank you, markor. i appreciate the sentiment.{
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] walks over to Mariza and hesitates for a second, looking up at her. --
CPC: ~~It was really a nice party Mariza
CPC: ~~Thank you
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] looks quizzically at apodah --
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] then gives her the biggest hug. --
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] smiles, regardless of what happened --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] blinks for a moment, stunned by the gesture. her shoulders relax as she returns the hug. --
CLP: }thank you, apodah.{
CLP: }now then, if you all would find your way out.{
CLP: }except, karran?{
CLP: }would you mind helping me clean up{
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] pulls back after the thanks, smiling a little, and nods. --
CRC: T'ank you fow t'e pawty Mawiza
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] nods once. He pauses. Before he leaves, he picks his hat up off of the table, and puts it on. --
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] smiles at Mariza, then after a brief pause, at Karran --
CIU: let''s go,, apodah..
CRC: 'ave a gweat nig't
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] is remaining bizarrely quiet --
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] sees himself out --
CRC ceased responding to memo.
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] doesn't quite run back over to Markor. --
CPC: ~~Bye Mariza
CPC: ~~Bye Karran
CIU: goodbye..
CLP: }have a good evening everyone.{
CPC ceased responding to memo.
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] sees himself out, leading Apodah with him --
CIU ceased responding to memo.
CIF: >-(Well.)o>
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] closes the door behind them --
CLP: }i'm so sorry.{
CLP: }that was terrible.{
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] frowns, looking at Mariza. --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] walks over to her and hugs her; because of their height difference, it's awkward, but shush. --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] returns the gesture, burying her face in karran's chest --
CIF: >-(It'z my favlt, Mariza.)o>
CIF: >-(I'm zorry.)o>
CLP: }no, it's not at all. {

-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] frowns. --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] steps back out of the hug, looking around --
CLP: }i suppose we should start cleaning up then, there are glasses and things everywhere, and...{
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] might be a bit choked up --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] holds her tighter with one arm, and with the other, reaches up and paps her on the cheek. --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] looks at him, her breathing shakey --
CLP: }karran, i--{
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] paps her again, and begins to shoosh her. --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] comes closer again, closing her eyes and focusing on her moirail --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] doesn't say anything, just trying to even out her shakey breathing and calm her thoughts. --
CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] is, of course, the first to arrive. What less would you expect from Mariza's moirail? --
CIF: >-(Hehehe. :K At long lazt, hvh?)o>
CLP: }yes. i told you to be here ten minutes ago, really.{
CIF: >-(Heehehe. Well. Yov know.)o>
CIF: >-(I'm ztill early!)o>
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] props the door open with a stone and gestures at karran to enter. There are pink and blue tablecloths on every surface, and various refreshments placed around the main living area of the hive. --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] smiles, entering and looking around. --
CIF: >-(Pity the chancez of thiz getting mezzed vp before the end of the night are high.)o>
CIF: >-(It'z qvite pretty. :K)o>
CLP: }don't say such a thing, it will be fine.{
CLP: }i refuse to let anyone screw tonight up for me.{
CIF: >-(That'z the zpirit!)o>
CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] happily struts right up to the door of Mariza's hive, grinning as wide as she possibly can. She has Markor in tow bearing gifts of great joy- twelve greyish hats with each of the troll's insignias emblazoned on the front in vivid color. They are predictably made entirely out of feathers. --
CPC: ~~Mariza I brought the hats
CLP: }oh, wonderful! please do set them on the table there.{
CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] is right on Apodah's heels, and desperately pretending he does not see the hats. Perhaps if he ignores them, they will go away. --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] gestures at an empty table, without looking at the hats first. --
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] begrudgingly follows mariza's instructions, putting the hats down rather unceremoniously. --
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] giggles and continues to grin, horrifically proud of herself, before setting up the hats neatly in little groups. Those groups totally are't the quadrants she knows about no sir. --
CIU: ...... apodah,, what are you......
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] turns around, now bearing a tray of iced teas, finally looking at the hats. --
CLP: }oh.{
CLP: }those are.{
CLP: }lovely.{
CIF: >-(Aren't they jvzt? :K)o>
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] does not seem to be being sarcastic. --
CPC: ~~Thank you
CPC: ~~I also brought a couple bags of candy for everybody
CPC: ~~If thats okay that is
CLP: }of course it is! {
CLP: }there's a table there with refreshments, you may place them there.{
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] lets loose a sort of snorting breath, and looks around for the refreshment table. Because, of course, he's carrying the bags of candy, too. --
CIU: i will..
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] does. --
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] giggles again and does a little spin. She is way too excited about this party oh my gosh. --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] smiles as well as she sees little apodah bouncing around --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] is glad she's not the only one who was actually looking forward to this --
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] looks over at Mariza for the first time, and almost double takes. --
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] is, however, smart enough to KEEP HIS FACEHOLE SHUT. --
CIF: >-(I'll be taking a zeat, if yov don't mind, Mariza. :K)o>
CLP: }please, feel free!{
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] takes a seat in the nearest chair; he was about to kick his feet up onto the table, but thinks better of it. --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] looks at karran --
CLP: }i know what you're thinking{
CLP: }keep your feet off the furniture, karran.{
CIF: >-(I'm going to. <:K)o>
CIF: >-(Geeze.)o>
CURRENT otocyonScarecrow [COS] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
-- CURRENT otocyonScarecrow [COS] struts in through the open door with an almost plolite looking smile on her face. She hovers in to doorway for a second to inspect the early guest and, of course, her hostess. A more wicked grin stretched her lips over her sharp canines. --
COS: Mariza.
COS: Darling.
COS: What a unique fashion statement.
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] turns to the newcomer, giving her a smile --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] smiles thinly, but knows it's not his place to comment. --
CLP: }hello, vikzen. thank you for coming.{
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] pointedly avoids eye contact. --
CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] is following slowly behind Vikzen, her eyes darting around. She's not quite sure what to think about all of this...or them --
CLP: }there is a hat there on the table for you, and please help yourself to refreshments.{
COS: Oh Mariza I shall get to Apodahs lovely hat in a moment.
COS: Can we talk about your lovely new necklace first?
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] mutters --
CIU: stop,, vikzen..
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] finally looks at Mariza and gapes for a second in shock. --
-- CURRENT otocyonScarecrow [COS] looks as though she's doing all she can to keep from bursting into a cackle. --
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] does a stunning remove-himself-from-this-conversation and sidesteps so he's standing nearer to Otsana, though he doesn't say anything to her. --
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] looks up at Vikzen, wondering what the other is doing...just...remaining quiet. --
CLP: }oh, don't the pearls compliment me well?{
CLP: }it was a gift.{
CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] has tucked himself in behind Vikzen, and he seems to be holding on tightly to the hem of her shirt, looking around widely. He examines everyone quickly, zeroing in on Karran's face with a dark look before turning his attention to Mariza. --
COS: And what a lovely gift it is. Pearls certainly suit you.
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] does not miss this, and waves cheerfully at Tytoni. --
COS: 7he height of extreme fashion as always.
CIF: >-(Izn't zhe jvzt? :K)o>
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] follows in behind Otsana, glancing around in a significantly more relaxed fashion. Her fists are clenched pretty damn tightly though. --
CIU: hello,, umieri..
COS: Oh Karran dear your moirail is just lovely.
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] speaks in low tones --
CIU: welkome to the shitstorm..
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] reaches out, taking one of her moirail's hands, unsure what to say as her Matesprit is currently being...rather agressive. --
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] carefully waggles his fingers back before settling into an expressionless stare at the highblood. --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] pointedly ignores markor --
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] answers just as quietly, squeezing Otsana's hand a bit. --
CLP: }please, everyone do help yourself to refreshments. there are grubcakes and teas and apodah brought some candies for you all.{
CIF: >-(I think it zvitz her. :K)o>
CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] stops short of walking into the room, choosing instead to knock lightly on the already open door before letting himself in --
CLL: Glad that I did not miss anything.
-- CURRENT otocyonScarecrow [COS] gives Mariza a grin before turning from her and actually grabber her hat from the table. She grabs Tytoni's as well, placing it on his head. --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] looks at Tytoni; he curls his lip in a sort of nonverbal '/what?/', but averts his attention following that. --
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] moves closer to the other's side, feeling safer near her moirail, as she's rather unsure what's going on. --
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] spots Tytoni and, noting the dark look on his face, goes over to chat with him --
CLL: Candy sounds absolutely delightful actually.
CSL: candy?
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] finally turns his attention away from Karran to inspect the hat Vikzen placed on his head. He smiles faintly at it before putting it back on. --
CIU: it is of apodah''s making..
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] carefully leads Otsana over to the table for hats, and then to the refreshments for snacks. Eating candy is always a great way to stay out of the way. --
CAP: 00h, hi, Skyl00s.
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] brings the tray of drinks she has been holding to where karran is sitting, handing him a glass. --
CRC: 'i Tytoni! glaD you maDe it 'ewe safe!
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] takes a cup, lifting it in a pseudo-toast. --
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] follows, putting on her hat, and then carefully taking the candy in her claws, watching everyone intently. --
CIF: >-(Thank yov, Mariza. :K)o>
CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] slowly crosses the threshold of the hive, an uneasy look on her face. She was absolutely not looking forward to this party. Her hand tightly clenches Ommati's as she steps into the party. --
CAP: Same. I'm m00re glad I g00t 00ut 00f that tree with00ut getting m00re hurt.
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] is still watching Mariza quietly, but her attention turns towards the door as yet more trolls enter. --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] is pointedly ignoring Chorda as she enters. --
CIF: >-(Who'z left to arrive, Mariza?)o>
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] 's attention immediately flicks to the door and he inspects the newcomers, eyes widening as he takes in Chorda's manner and appearance. And, well, Ommati. --
CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] enters at chorda's side, taking a look around the large living area. he lets go of her hand to wave his good arm at the others. --
CDD: hello, everyone!!!
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] goes over to get one of the drinks, and the hat that Apodah made for him --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] does not acknowledge the rustblood, but nods to chorda. --
CRC: 'ii Ommati!!
CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] enters last, on a slight delay after Ommati. He's as close to folded in on himself as he can be while still standing upright; he's gripping the taxidermy lion that Ommati gave him tightly with both arms, and looks like he would rather be just about anywhere but here. --
CLP: }hello, chorda. please do help yourself to any refreshments, and have a seat if you wish.{
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] looks at a loss of what to do without his hand in hers. Her eyes glance over Karran and she glares before quickly averting her gaze to Mariza instead. --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] takes a sip of his drink. --
CIF: >-(Gang'z all here.)o>
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] gapes once again as she sees Ommati's arm, letting out the quietest little shocked squeak. --
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] mutters under his breath, so no one can hear: --
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] waves to Skylos, noting everyone who just walked in with that cornered predator's gaze, her hand tightening on her moirail's. --
CAP: 00h gHOOd, d00es that mean we can all leave n00w
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] actually stops for a moment, noting the tension in the room. She subtly leans over to whisper to her moirail. --
COS: Now now 7ytoni.
COS: We have only just arrived.
COS: Im sure this party shall be very entertaining.
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] walks to the door, gesturing the three newcomers further in before closing the door. --
CLL: If shit hits the uhirrling device ue should prrobably be nearr the doorr.
—CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] waves back to Otsana, making his way toward her, also nothing the tension in the room
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] scoots further into the room, quickly passing Karran in favor of the hat table. She felt too queasy to eat. --
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] nods and stays as close to the other as possible, whispering back. --
CLP: }how are you, chorda, tertus?{
CSL: i dø nøt like thi§ øne bit...
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] immediately all but plasters himself up against the wall, staring at the floor. --
CTF: -,=,<these are cute did you make them apodah>,=,-
CTT: fin3 fin3 fin3
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] nods in agreement before quietly continuing to nibble at the candy provided. Might as well try to act normal right? --
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] blinks after a second before looking over at Chorda, her focus broken. --
CPC: ~~Oh
CAP: I'm... g00ing t00 g00 mingle while y00u ... chat. Alright?
CPC: ~~Uh
CPC: ~~Yeah I did
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] cranes his neck to look at Chorda, impassively. --
COS: Feel free.
CIF: >-(Hey. Grab me my hat.)o>
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] grabs his and tertus's hat, putting his on his head before joining tertus by the wall. he places tertus's on his moirail's head for him. --
CPC: ~~I tried to find feather that matched everybodys blood colors
CTF: -,=,<theyre nice you did a good job>,=,-
CPC: ~~Oh gosh thank you Chorda
CLP: }she really did. thank you, apodah.{
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] tries her hardest to ignore the higher blood in the room. --
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] mumbles --

-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] grins proudly, giggling. --
CLP: }chorda, my hands are a little full. won't you bring my moirail his?{
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] mutters as well --
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] picks up her hat and clutches it to her chest tightly as she quickly searches the room for her matesprit. She spots him against the wall and is about to make her way over when Mariza speaks to her. --
CTF: -,=,<must i>,=,-
CDD: because there's going to be drama bombs tonight and i need to be here for chorda.
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] has grabbed a handful of candy and is slowly trying to maneuver herself and Otsana in a favorable position to not get murdered. --
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] lets go of Vikzen and quietly makes his unsteady way over to Ommati and Tertus. He smiles gingerly at them, like even that small movement causes him pain. --
CDD: speaking of which.
CAP: Hi, 00mmati, Tertus.
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] stands up from his position --
CDD: hello, tytoni! i'll leave you with tertus here. one moment.
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] looks up at tytoni. He mumbles something that may be "hi", but is kind of a strangled squeak more than a word. --
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] walks to chorda, and takes the hat from her with a smile. --
CDD: it'll be okay!
CTF: -,=,<are you glubbing serious right now>,=,-

-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] walks away before she can hit him --
CTF: you are so lucky i love you
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] presses tighter to her moirail's side, leaning to whisper again. --
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] approaches karran, stops a good three steps away, and tosses the hat onto karran's head. --
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] takes the chance to approach Ommati. --
CSL: dø we really have tø §tay i knøw it i§ pølite but....
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] or not --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] smiles thinly -- it still shows his sharp teeth -- and adjusts the hat. Sounds absolutely acidic as he says --
CIF: >-(Thank yov.)o>
CDD: knot a problem!
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] winces and follows Ommati, grabbing his arm to pull him away. --
CTF: -,=,<there he has his hat lets go>,=,-
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] shakes his head in response to tytoni, sliding down against the wall and trying to make himself as small as possible. --
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] continues nibbling and maneuvering. --
CIF: >-(Why be zo rvde?)o>
CIF: >-(It iz a party, after all. Zocialization.)o>
CLL: I do not think that she uill let us leave as easily as that.
CIF: >-(Mariza pvt a lot of work into thiz.)o>
-- CURRENT otocyonScarecrow [COS] approaches Mariza again, leaning into her with a wicked smile. --
COS: 7his party is already very interesting.
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] blinks down at him, cocking his head curiously before he takes up a protective stance between Tertus and the rest of the room. His head might hurt right now, but he's not moving from this spot for anyone. --
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] grabs a handful of candy and brings it over to Chorda and Ommati, holding it out for them. --
CTF: -,=,<she could have put sheets over card board boxes for all i care>,=,-
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] sees Tertus and Tytoni along the wall, noting the distraught look on Tertus' face (or what he can see of it), and goes over to see if they're ok --
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] acknowledges chorda by squeezing her hand, before letting go to take apodah's candy --
CAP: It's 00kay, Tertus.
CPC: ~~So um
CDD: thank you!!!
CPC: ~~Ommati
CDD: yes?
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] becomes SIGNIFICANTLY LESS OKAY when he sees skylos approaching --
CSL: i almø§t dø wi§h i had §tayed in my cave
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] is startled by Apodahs's sudden presence, her angry waning a little. --
CTF: -,=,<oh uh thanks kid>,=,-
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] gets a little quieter so as to be discreet. --
CLP: }isn't it, though?{
CLP: }please, do help yourself to some grubcakes.{
CPC: ~~Are you okay Ommati
COS: I think I shall eat a bit later. I would much rather talk with you some more.
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] looks at Tertus, smiling slightly before trying to initiate conversation --
COS: After all how often am I in the presence of such a lovely high blood?
CDD: of course! i can't really put my finger on why i wouldn't be!
CRC: 'i Tewtus!! 'ow awe you tonig't??
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] does a double take in ommati's direction --

-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] gives the greatest "are you fucking serious" face known to trollkind --
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] is getting a little bit worried about her matesprit potentailly getting hurt this evening. --
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] blinks a couple of times, then giggles a little and smiles at him. --
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] buries face in the hood of his sweatshirt, peering up at skylos from behind a wall of hair and hood --
CTT: fin3 fin3 fin3
CTT: go away way way
CPC: ~~Okay Ommati
CPC: ~~If you say so
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] flicks his eyes between Skylos and Tertus before stepping between them. --
CLP: }oh, you never did visit when i invited you before.{
CLP: }so not very often.{
CLP: }but that's you own fault.{
CAP: Skyl00s, d00 y00u want t00 grab s00me candy with me?
CPC: ~~So how have you two been
CDD: i'd say i've been alright but
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] looks at Tertus, taken aback, before looking back at Tytoni --
CDD: well
COS: Oh my you are absolutely right?
CAP: It lHOOks delici00us.
CRC: Yea', suwe Tytoni!!
CAP: GHOOd.
CIU: you have got to be fukking kidding me..
COS: How could I possibly have denied myself such a treat before?
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] has been edging towards Apodah, and thus towards Ommati, this entire time, and thus, PUNS. --
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] walks over to the candy table to grab some --
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] would relax, but he has no reason to relax. After all, still too many people. --
CTF: -,=,<ommati i swear to cod>,=,-
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] grins despite herself. --
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] smiles at his matesprit, obviously pleased with his cleverness --
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] trails after Skylos, which means that he's finally in range to hear Vikzen's delighhtedly acerbic conversation, and he wrinkles his nose before leaning over to Skylos. --
CPC: ~~I do have to say I feel a little left out
CAP: Hang 00n.
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] sips his drink quietly, putting his feet up on the table almost as though subconsciously --
CPC: ~~I dont get to talk to you guys too often
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] immediately notices --
CLP: }karran.{
CLP: }what did i say.{
CRC: W'at's up Tytoni??
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] pauses and shrugs, almost sheepishly, bringing his feet down off the table. --
CIF: >-(Zorry, Mariza.)o>
COS: Karran be a good high blood and set a better example for all us ruffians beneath you.
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] gives a sidelong glance to vikzen --
CIF: >-(My job iz not to zet an example, Vikzen. :K)o>
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] walks over to Vikzen without answering Skylos first, and he quietly touches her on her elbow, offering her some of the candy he picked up. He sighs at her commentary. --
CAP: Vikzen, let it g00.
-- CURRENT otocyonScarecrow [COS] she frowns at him, but takes the candy anyway. --
COS: It is all fine 7ytoni.
COS: I promise.
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] whispers to Otsana. --
CLL: Okay neu plan
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] makes a face at her. --
CSL: keep my mate§prit frøm dying
CLL: Exactly.
CLP: }if you'll excuse me, vikzen...{
CAP: I'm less certain 00f that than y00u are. As sHOOn as it bec00mes p00lite t00 leave please, can we just g00 back t00 y00ur hive. My head is killing me.
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] takes a tray of cakes and begins to walk around the party, being the good hostess she is. --
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] moves to stand by Vikzen, her eyes looking up to her. --
COS: Are you both not having fun?
CSL: i am nøt cømførtable here
CAP: I was l00st n00t an h00ur ag00 after blacking 00ut f00r a full day. I'm n00t ready n00rmally t00 handle Mariza in full party m00de.
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] stops by karran's seat, adjusting his hat a bit, and handing him a cake --
CLP: }i do hope you are enjoying yourself{
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] grins, all teeth, but it is a genuine smile. --
CIF: >-(Thiz iz qvite entertaining. :K)o>
CIF: >-(And qvite revealing, at that.)o>
CLP: }isn't it, though?{
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] whispers so only he can hear --
COS: I am rather enjoying myself but if you two are feeling so ill placed then I suppose we can leave as soon as it is polite.
CLP: }is it just me, or is vikzen blackflirting with me?{
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] pauses, furrowing his brow. --
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] offers Snapdragon a 'talk to you later' before beginning to go around to the others with bits of candy. Notedly the one who has done nothing but sit by the wall. --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] mutters right back, in that same for-mariza's-listentubes-only tone --
CIF: >-(Pozzibly. I'll keep an eye on her.)o>
CIF: >-(I think maybe yez!)o>
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] nods and gently leans against her. --
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] looks up at Apodah, and seizes a bit. Oh gog why won't people stop approaching him. --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] smiles, unable to hide her excitement, before moving on to others. --
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] approaches Tertus and offers some of the candy to him. --
CTT: i. don't n33d any any any
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] resumes his typical watch of people, particularly Mariza and Karran. --
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] pauses, and the next words come out incredibly awkward and stilted --
CTT: thank you though though though
COS: I was merely having a bit of fun.
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] moves away from Tytoni and Vikzen toward Chorda and Ommati to see how they're doing --
CTF: -,=,<ommati can we please leave>,=,-
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] smiles at him after a second before nodding. --
CPC: ~~Youre very welcome
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] examines the pair of them intensely, noting the necklace and the horn and slowly putting pieces of quite the unspoken tale together. --
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] she continues going around to the others, offering candy left and right. --
CAP: I'm s00rry f00r ruining y00ur fun. Karran and Mariza just seem...
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] passes by tertus, pausing for a moment to offer him a grubcake --
CLP: }i made them myself you know.{
CAP: 00n edge. F00r s00mething right n00w, and I'd prefer my m00irail t00 n00t end up mistakenly dead due t00 a misunderstHOOd blackflirt.
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] almost bites into the stuffed lion in frustration-- he just wants to be left alone-- until he realizes who the third troll who's approached him is --
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] mutters as he, somewhat reluctantly, takes a grubcake. His voice is low, so only Mariza can hear him. --
CTT: is your horn giving you any troubl3 troubl3 troubl3???
COS: 7hey do but I doubt they would do anything at this lovely get together.
COS: Mariza does keep up appearances.
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] 's smile becomes a little less wide as she reaches with the hand that is not carrying the tray to play with the string of jewels around her neck --
CSL: i am nøt cømførtable thinking øf yøu being injured vikzen
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] speaks quietly --
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] glances at her moirail, feeling her stomach turning. --
CLP: }a little better, yes. i chose to not have the bandage for the party. i think it's alright.{
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] more picks at the grubcake than eats it, looking at it rather than mariza --
CTT: you'r3 going to want to, uhm. disinf3ct it. aft3r th3 party. to mak3 sur3 nothing happ3ns to it it it
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] casts a sidelong glance over at where Mariza has stopped. He frowns slightly, but says and does nothing-- yet. --
COS: Otsana please I am not a weak little grub.
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] nods once. --
COS: I can fight just as well as either of them.
CSL: i am nøt §aying yøu are
CLP: }noted. would you like a drink or anything?{
CSL: i knøw yøu can handle a fight øn yøur øwn
CSL: i am §imply expre§§ing my di§ta§te
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] finishes eating the candy apodah handed him, and takes chorda's hand again. --
CTT: no i'm okay okay okay
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] looks back at Otsana, shrugging a little and sucking at a particularly hard piece of candy. --
COS: Very well. I shall endeavor to antagonize less.
CSL: thank yøu
CLP: }please do not hesitate to let me know if you do. i'm nothing if not a good hostess{
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] frowns, and rather overdramatically stands up out of his chair and walks over to Mariza. --
CIF: >-(Zo! What'z going on over here? :K)o>
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] squeezes his hand tightly, looking frazzled and very akin to a fish out of water. --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] says, and he never seems to quite look at tertus --
CLP: }oh, i was just making sure all my guests were comfortable.{
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] examines Mariza and Tertus' quiet conversation, unable to make out anything that is said, until Karran gets up, when he tenses and tightens his hand on the hem of Vikzen's shirt. --
CTF: -,=,<i want to leave and oh my fuck is he reelly trying to talk to tertus>,=,-
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] notes Karran standing up, and immediatly walk to the side of the room furthest away from him --
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] snaps his head over to his moirail. --
CDD: chorda. i'm sorry. would you mind going and talking to the others?
CTF: -,=,<um what no if youre going over there i am too>,=,-
CIF: >-(:K Hm. Well.)o>
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] is idly wondering how viable a reality "melting into the wall" would be. --
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] squeezes her hand before leading her to the wall where his moirail sits --
CDD: SEW
CDD: how are you, karran?
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] glances sidelong at Ommati and Chorda-- and thoroughly ignores them. --
CIF: >-(I jvzt wanted to know what waz going on, that'z all. :K)o>
CTF: -,=,<thats reelly nosy of you>,=,-
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] currently exists in a chorda-less world --
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] get's some candy off of the table, staring at Mariza and Karran intently --
CDD: you know, karran, it's a shame we don't see each other more often.
COS: See even I am not as instigative as they are.
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] is staring almost wide-eyed at the events going on. She has no idea what to make of this except that she suddenly is really glad she's wearing armor under all this moss. --
CDD: you seam to be up to sew many things online.
-- CURRENT otocyonScarecrow [COS] gestures to the wall party. --
CIF: >-(Really. I dizagree. :K)o>
CAP: I n00ticed.
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] is suddenly utterly fascinated with the grubcake he's picking into crumbs. --
CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] presses against Umeiri's side now, just readying herself for a fight. --
CDD: well, you sure seam to be reeeeeeely interested in my moirail here.
CDD: you know, he means a whole lot to me.
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] seems distressed by the wall party, like he wants to do something about it, but doesn't have the requisite information to do anything at all. --
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] puts his arm around karran's shoulders --
CDD: if you want to be friends with him, you gotta be friends with me too!
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] raises his eyebrows, casting a sidelong look down at Tertus-- and then freezes when ommati throws his arm around his shoulders. --
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] stares wide eyed at what Ommati just did, nearly dropping the candy he picked up --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] deftly ducks, sinking out of Ommati's arm and sidestepping away. --
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] drops her jaw. --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] purses her lips --
CTF: -,=,<ommati no>,=,-

COS: Oh my.
CAP: It seems this party might c00me t00 blHOOdshed sHOOner than I predicted.
COS: And you all thought it would be my blood.
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] rises to his full height; he's significantly taller than Ommati, which is no small feat. --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] smiles --
CIF: >-(Neither yov nor any of yovr friendz are worth anything to me.)o>
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] 'casually' starts checking for possible escape routes. --
CTF: -,=,<karran stop>,=,-

CIF: >-(Abzolvtely. Nothing.)o>
CLP: really? because you seemed pretty intent to find tertus's hive the other night.

CDD: really? because you seamed pretty intent to find tertus's hive the other night
CTF: -,=,<ommati>,=,-
CTF: -,=,<both of you>,=,-
CTF: -,=,<stop>,=,-
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] is none-too-subtly trying to lead Apodah towards the door --
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] 's head starts hurting more and more as the wall party continues talking. His psionics spark slightly at the mention of Tertus' hive and he winces. --
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] grabs her matesprit by the shoulder and makes a feeble attempt to move him. --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] fakes looking thoughtful. --
CIF: >-(Zorry, I'm not zeeing how theze two thingz are related.)o>
CTF: -,=,<dont get involved with him right now ommati>,=,-
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] steps forward, shoving the tray of grubcakes in front of the others --

CTT: can w3 pl3as3 go go go

-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] continues to growl, ignoring the cakes with those eyes watching everyone. --
CLP: }ommati, i must request that you leave no matter your preference.{
CDD: 8I
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] looks like he wants to disagree, but isn't going to disagree with Mariza. --
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] glares at Mariza. --
COS: I think now would be that polite time you two were requesting.
CLP: }chorda, would you like something to drink? there are some more teas on the table over there.{
CLP: }if you would kindly go get them yourself, my hands are a little full.{
CLP: }in fact, you could even take them to go if you wish.{
CTF: -,=,<what i would like is to leave with my buoyfrond>,=,-
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] nods briskly to Vikzen. --
CLP: }well, he is leaving.{
CLP: }isn't he.{
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] frowns, looking sidelong at Mariza. He does not deflate, but he relaxes his posture significantly, and places one hand on Mariza's shoulder. --
CLL: I think that uould be best.
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] grabs Umeiri's hand, looking up with a furious gaze. --
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] doesn't actually move for a moment, caught up in watching the trainwreck in front of him. --
CSL: i wi§h tø gø back tø my cave...i have a vigil tø keep and am nøt willing tø fight...
CLP: }then please, leave with your matesprit. your kismesis, however, will be staying, i apologize.{
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] drops the candy he was holding --
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] blinks. Nobody can see his eyes, but you can tell he blinks. Pointedly. --
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] swallows hard before grabbing Ommati's shoulder. --
CTF: -,=,<please i want to leave>,=,-
CLP: }then{
CLP: }leave{
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] gestures broadly at the door --
CAP: 00h.
-- CURRENT lentiginoseLichen [CLL] squeezes her hand and heads towards the door, not pausing even for that. --
COS: 7his should be were we leave.
CAP: Suddenly, a l00t 00f things make m00re sense.
-- CURRENT skeletalLupine [CSL] follows her, leaning in to kiss Vikzen's cheek gently as she hurries off. --
COS: I will message Mariza politely later telling her that her party was lovely.
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] is considering whether or not it's a good idea to leave. --
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] is tightening his grip on apodah's arm, though, prepared to lead her away if need be. --
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] looks at chorda quickly before letting go of her hand to hold his out for tertus --
CDD: tertus, let's go.
CTT: ...
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] seems to almost not hear Vikzen, wrapped up in his own head and in the drama in front of them. --
-- CURRENT terrifyingTrinity [CTT] hesitates for a moment, before taking ommati's hand and standing up. --
CSL ceased responding to memo.
-- CURRENT triassicFantasia [CTF] doesn't wait for either of them and she turns to leave. She waits a few feet outside of the hive for them, her head in her hands as she tries to keep herself from screaming. --
CDD: thank you, mariza, for having us.
CLL ceased responding to memo.
-- CURRENT darnerDaemon [CDD] leads tertus out --

-- CURRENT otocyonScarecrow [COS] walks slowly up to Mariza, a strangely genuine look on her face. --
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] looks around the room, unsure of what to do to lighten the mood at all --
COS: Your party was lovely.
COS: We must go now but I shall send you a message later.
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] turns to vikzen, her face neutral --
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] just stares at the folks who remain, not quite believing what just happened. --
COS: Have a good evening dear.
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] wants to follow the trio out, but he settles for shadowing Vikzen, his hand curled in her shirt yet again. --
CLP: }it was... nice... to see you, vikzen.{
COS: You as well.
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] frowns. --
COS: Come along 7ytoni.
CIU: apodah.. we will wait a moment before we leave..
-- CURRENT otocyonScarecrow [COS] she turns and strides out the door, not looking back. --
-- CURRENT arcadiumPresage [CAP] stops inside the doorway, and he lets go of his moirail to touch the entrence, very visibly not all there. To himself, but loud enough for others to hear, he says --
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] nods and watches Mariza's face. --
CAP: This is where it all g00es wr00ng. I supp00se it was nice t00 be in the same rHOOm with every00ne f00r 00ne last time.

CIU: i apologize that your party went this way,, mariza..

-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] nods to markor --
CLP: }thank you, markor. i appreciate the sentiment.{
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] walks over to Mariza and hesitates for a second, looking up at her. --
CPC: ~~It was really a nice party Mariza
CPC: ~~Thank you
-- CURRENT irateUngulate [CIU] looks quizzically at apodah --
-- CURRENT plumulamCirrus [CPC] then gives her the biggest hug. --
-- CURRENT rambunctiousCanine [CRC] smiles, regardless of what happened --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] blinks for a moment, stunned by the gesture. her shoulders relax as she returns the hug. --

CLP: }i'm so sorry.{
CLP: }that was terrible.{
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] frowns, looking at Mariza. --
-- CURRENT icthyoidFandango [CIF] walks over to her and hugs her; because of their height difference, it's awkward, but shush. --
-- CURRENT lepidopteranPlague [CLP] returns the gesture, burying her face in karran's chest --
