First PC Summer Ball
 
Alright, this I suppose is another idea similar to that of The Cafe. It's a place to relax while you wait for people to post in other RP's You don't rally need a bio or anything, it can be one of your characters from any RP anywhere and we don't really need to know about thier past, personality, etc. Just come as you are and have fun! Anyway, hopefully this'll be popular enough to warrant a Ball for each season.

Now, onto the setting: The ball itself is being held in the Shaidennan Imperial Palace and surrounding area. It's set by the coast, so you've got your basic beach there. The Amaltian mountains are but a short distance away, and the city of Alqualonde is nearby. The Palace grounds themselves have gardens, fountains, labyrinths, and many hidden nooks. The Palace proper is a massive creation of white granite, built in a Greco-Roman revival style. The first floor contains guest rooms, a massive reception area, and the still larger Great Hall. The second floor is home to the administrative offices of Shaidenno and are locked, athough the interconnecting halls may still be wandered. The second floor also contains the only public restroms in the place. The third floor holds a massive entertainment facility, including ibrary, gymnasium, running track, pool, and video arcade. The fourth floor and up are restricted to all but palace residents and those with specific permission from the former. The kitchens are in the basement. The music will of course start out with the Summer suite from The Four Seasons. Now, without furthe ado, the Ball is open!


Damian Merrel paced impatiently around the front doors of the palace, arms tucked behind his back. The guests were late, and punctuality being something he prized, his annoyance was understandable.

Mew13 July 19th, 2004 5:44 PM

Paige entered the doors nervously. Balls were something she dreaded, as she hated large groups of people. She was rather shy.

Her flowing white gown swirled around her as she surveyed the reception area. There was a single pacing man.

~Ozy~ July 19th, 2004 5:59 PM

Dane looked up, muttering "Finally." He composed his face and made a polite bow to the young woman sayin "Might I inquire as to your name, milady?"

Mew13 July 19th, 2004 6:09 PM

"Paige Matthews," the shy girl answered, making a graceful curtsy. "Am I the 1st to arrive?"

~Ozy~ July 19th, 2004 6:13 PM

A frown flashed across his face briefly before he regained his composure and said "Damian Merrel, dear lady. And indeed, you are the first to arrive."

Mew13 July 19th, 2004 6:16 PM

Paige shifted uncomfortably. She wasn't one for small talk, and wished another guest would arrive.

She sighed and said, "I'm sorry if I'm a bore, my Lord. I don't exactly relish the annual balls..."

~Ozy~ July 19th, 2004 6:25 PM

"To be honest" Damian grinned "Neither do I. Dreadful affairs. So much effort for no seeming result." He added, still smiling "Besides, I'm afraid I don't know you well enough to decide if you're a bore." His face fell and he continued "I certainly know enough of them and so far you seem different."

Mew13 July 19th, 2004 6:30 PM

Nat smiled. She heard music playing in the backround. In an uncharacteristic moment, she asked "Are you obliged to stay here? Or would you like to accompany me to the Ball?"

~Ozy~ July 19th, 2004 6:35 PM

Bowing again, Damian said "By no means must I saty here, milady. I'd love to join you." Walking over a bit closer, he offered her his arm.

Mew13 July 19th, 2004 6:39 PM

Paige took the outstretched arm. She smiled as the entered the ballroom. Perhaps she would enjoy this ball after all!

~Ozy~ July 19th, 2004 6:42 PM

THe pair walked into the Great hall as the music reached a crescendo. Damian smiled and said "I do hope you can dance, milady."

Mew13 July 19th, 2004 6:48 PM

Nat smiled. "I've danced a bit," she said taking up a classic walz position.

~Ozy~ July 19th, 2004 6:50 PM

Damian smiled, and took his position as well, tucking his hand into the small of her back and gently gripping the other befor them.

Mew13 July 19th, 2004 6:56 PM

Nat allowed Damian to take the lead, as was customary. She was thouroghly enjoying herself. She smiled and moved in a bit closer. She told herself it was to make the dance more smooth, but she wasn't sure.

~Ozy~ July 19th, 2004 7:03 PM

Damian noted the move and smiled, calmly moving through the dance. He leaned down a bit and said "A bit, Lady Nat? It seems otherwise to me." He was feeling more anxious than he should be and feared he knew the cause.

Mew13 July 19th, 2004 7:10 PM

OOC: Hehe, I only just realized my character's name has changed! Oopsie!!

IC: Nat smiled and blushed. There was a funny lurch in the pit of her stomach she couldn't explain. She bit her lower lip as she looked up to Damian's face. "How does it seem then, Lord Damian?"

~Ozy~ July 19th, 2004 7:14 PM

"It seems, milady" Damian began "That you have danced a great deal." He reached up with his left hand and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, unsure of the reason to the proverbial rhyme.

Mew13 July 19th, 2004 7:18 PM

Nat laughed softly. "Well you see my lord, my mother always insisted I learn to dance. 'Someday you'll meet a fine gentleman at one of these balls!' I never did believe her.... but tonight may change things, who knows." she added, blushing a great deal now as the feeling in her stomach elevated.

~Ozy~ July 19th, 2004 7:25 PM

Damian's stomach gave a great jolt at these words and he was sure that he didn't manage to entirely control the emotion. Smiling nervously, he said "I'm afraid that I'm not exactly a fine gentleman, Lady."

Mew13 July 19th, 2004 7:28 PM

"I never did intend on living out mother's dreams either!" Nat laughed. Perhaps the ball would be alright.

More guests had begun to arrive and the sounds of chatter filled the room.

~Ozy~ July 19th, 2004 7:36 PM

Damian laughed as well, surprised at himself. He always tried desprately to keep up the facade of the composed nobleman. Despite the gathering crowd around them, he felt that they were in a private world. Still a shade nervous, he said quietly "Would you like to go up to the dome? There's an incredible view from the deck.?

Mew13 July 19th, 2004 7:39 PM

Nat smiled, "Sure!" she said, dropping the fancy tone in her voice. She felt it wasn't necessary around Damian.

She took his hand and allowed him to steer her in the correct direction.

~Ozy~ July 19th, 2004 7:45 PM

Damian lead Nat away from the crowds and into a nearly deserted hallway. Explaining, he said "We're taking the back way up. It's a lot shorter and much less crowded." On the fourth floor, he walked to the end of a shared room and unlocked a small door hidden in the wall. It lead to a spiral staircase mate of unadorned utilatarian(sp) steel.

Mew13 July 19th, 2004 7:49 PM

Nat was suprised at Damian's knowledge of the palace. She looked him over, and nervously brushed a strand of long curly hair away from her face. The funny feeling in her stomach refused to leave.

~Ozy~ July 19th, 2004 7:52 PM

Noting the quizzical look on Nat's face, Damian said kindly "I work here, actually. Ministry of Internal Affairs." He began ascending the stairs, boots clanging on the cold metal. Coming to another door, he unlocked it, a blast of cold wind hitting his face.

Mew13 July 19th, 2004 7:58 PM

Nat smiled. She shivered slightly as a chilly wind struck her face. She was glad for the full length dress and gloves she had worn that night.

Upon moving through the door Damian had opened Nat found herself looking over a huge amount of land (I think....). The sight made her gasp.

"Damian, it's beautiful!"

~Ozy~ July 19th, 2004 8:11 PM

Damian smiled at hearing this, placing his hands on the rail and leaning out, saying "Aye, it is at that." The wind had, if anything, turned more vicious. buffeting the pair head on. He said "It'd probably be less windy on the southern side. Shall we move?"
<OOC>Okay, and now I need to go. Bed and all that. I don't know that I'll be on tomorrow, but I'll try.<OOC>

Mew13 July 19th, 2004 8:14 PM

"Sure," Nat said quietly, heading back inside.

Without the roar of the wind, it seemed as though someone had placed earmuffs over her ears. Everything seemed so quiet. The hall was totally deserted.

Kayleigh July 19th, 2004 8:54 PM

((This seems interesting! I would like to join now, if it would be okay. I might control an extra one of my made-up characters or two, though, such as my character's mother, etc.))

Kayleigh stepped out of the carriage, keeping careful not to trip on her long gown. It was terribly uncomfortable, and she hated it like nothing else.
As she was being escorted towards the entrance of the palace, she glanced back to look at her mother, who was also on her way to the door. She turned back around and sighed. Her whole life was so boring. All that there ever was to it was the same old pointless things; She wanted adventure, but she figured that it would never come. As she entered the ball room, the sheer beauty of it stunned her. Her emerald eyes glistened in the light of the large chandelier that hung above.

As she finally reached the top of the steps, she waited for her mother, and then they both walked down towards the ball room floor. She looked around the area, but the only things that seemed to interest her were the decorations.

~Ozy~ July 20th, 2004 7:48 AM

It was a quick walk across the dome to the other side, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. With the moon gleaming off the water and the glaciatic bay just visible to the far south, it made for an ethreal sight. Damian turned back to nat, just arriving throught the door. Quietly, and hoping he wasn't taking too much of a liberty, he slipped his hand into her.

Chairman Kaga July 20th, 2004 8:36 AM

OOC: I'll come in here as my namesake, Chairman Takeshi Kaga...none of you will understand anything about him, but he'll be kind of funny XP

BIC: Chairman Kaga hoped that no one would recognize...after he chose to fake his death and end his Kitchen Stadium, he had wandered from place to place, driven half-mad with the desire to taste new cuisine that would rival that of his Iron Chefs...this was his latest stop, a palace on the waterfront. It looked ritzy enough to have something suitable for a gourmet such as himself, and he still had almost unlimited funds in his offshore bank accounts...closing Kitchen Stadium was the worst decision of his life, and he regreted it greatly, but he could never change it. Faking one's death is almost as permanent as death. He stumbled onto the outside patio of the area and looked around, adjusting his sequined cloak and hood to hide most of his features...

"This should do for now...just a bit of their chefs' fare and I'm on my way..."

Kayleigh July 20th, 2004 9:36 AM

As she watched her mother quickly greet the other people, Kayleigh just stood where she was, grasping her small purse tightly. She was a shy girl, and she wasn't very social, and the fact that this whole party didn't interest her at all didn't help.
I wish that mother would quit bringing me to these stupid parties... she thought, frowning. There must be something interesting here, though.
She looked around once more, and then spotted the patio outside, which overlooked the ocean.
"Oh!" she gasped, as she quickly walked towards the area. The only light outside came from the bright moon, and a few candles that sat on top of a table. She walked towards the side of the rail, looking out towards the sea.
Finally... Some peace and quiet.

Mew13 July 20th, 2004 12:16 PM

Nat smiled as Damian slipped his and into hers. She stepped to the railing and looked over, still holding his hand.

"This is so beautiful, Damian. You're lucky to be able to gaze like this every night."

ryan July 20th, 2004 12:32 PM

comes in and decides to assume the typical dance posture...
*grumbles about nonsense music and talks to immaginary friends in the corner*

~Ozy~ July 20th, 2004 1:33 PM

"I suppose so," Damian sighed. "I don't get to most nights, though." He looked down and smiled contentedly at Nat, continuing "It seems all the better with you here."

Mew13 July 20th, 2004 1:39 PM

Nat blushed. She had never felt the way she did now before. She smiled as she sat down, and blushed again.

"These shoes are killers to the feet!" she said playfully and patted the ground next to her, as an invitation.

~Ozy~ July 20th, 2004 1:50 PM

"Indeed they are," Damian laughed, sitting down beside her. when he'd managed to arrange himself to his liking, he said "I'm afraid I still don't know a whole lot about you. But I would like to know."

Mew13 July 20th, 2004 1:54 PM

"Well," Nat began. "I guess I'm interested in Astrology. I've always wanted to go to school for it, but mother is so old fashioned. She thinks women are to stay at home..." she trailed off.

Removing her hand from Damian's she pointed to the sky. "That cluster there is Orion, and there's Ursa Major and Minor."

She paused for a second, and said "I've been studying the skies for awhile, and if I'm correct, and unidentified comet is to cross the skies here tonight."

~Ozy~ July 20th, 2004 2:00 PM

"Astrology..." Damian murmered. "Always seemed like a bit of an odd art to me, but an interesting one." He paused for a bit, looking at the sky as well, then said "And a comet? I've never seen one before."

Mew13 July 20th, 2004 2:02 PM

"Really? Oh, they're amazing. You never really apprieciate them untill you've seen one!" she said excitedly.

Nat took a breath. "What are you into?" she asked softly, gazing tword the heavens.

~Ozy~ July 20th, 2004 3:51 PM

"I always loved nature" Damian sadin, staring out towards the mountains. "I've never seen anything to match the granduer of watching the sun come over Telrunya's Horn."

Mew13 July 20th, 2004 4:00 PM

"That sounds lovely. I think I'd enjoy seeing that..."

Just then, the comet sped overhead. It was a sight to behold. The comet's orbit was close to the earth, so it looked huge. Nat gasped in awe at it.

~Ozy~ July 20th, 2004 4:53 PM

Damian looked up as well, his mouth hanging open in wonder. Still amazed, he scooted a bit closer and gently laid his arm across Nat's shoulder.

Mew13 July 20th, 2004 6:14 PM

Nat snuggled in to Damian. "Well, we've seen my natural wonder. Shall we wait for yours?"

Nat was now pretty much looking for any excuse to prolong her alone time with this boy. She was blushing now, but the dark hid it pretty well.

Kayleigh July 20th, 2004 8:06 PM

((How odd, I just saw a comet the other night. They're so neat!))

Kayleigh quickly looked up towards the sky as it lit up, revealing a large comet flying by.
"Wow! Look!" she shouted, pointing towards it. She was so stunned at the sight, that she leaned over a bit too far and began to fall over the rail.
"Kyaaahh!" she screamed, shutting her eyes. She was beginning to imagine how it would feel to fall down onto the sharp rocks below her.
"Help!!"

ryan July 21st, 2004 6:35 AM

As the blind weaver continued (he's not really blind, it's just a cool name) whining about music at the ball, he heard something that didn't sound a lot better.
he looked outside to see kayleigh dangling from a rail. "what a fool" he mumbled... he looked around to see if anybody was going to do something, but damien and nat were a little preocupied.
so, the blind weaver walked outside and took hold of kayleigh's hands and pulled her up.
he then wandered back into the room, whining about music and backpains.
(wow, what a nice guy)

~Ozy~ July 21st, 2004 6:53 AM

Damian smiled, completly at ease for the first time in...well, a long time. he felt at home around Nat, a new sensation for him. Tears in his eyes, he pulled Nat into a full-fledged hug.

Mew13 July 21st, 2004 6:57 AM

A bit shocked, Nat hugged Damian back. She smiled as a warm breeze toyed with her flowing brown hair.

This was so nice. She felt so at ease around Damian. He wasn't like any of the suitors her mother had set her up with. They had all been sickly polite, which gave Nat the feeling they were only interested in one thing...

Nat gave a small shudder as memories flooded back. But Damian was different. She knew he was.

~Ozy~ July 21st, 2004 10:08 AM

Grey light began to flood the area in washed out-colors. As this happened, Damian's eyes lit up and he led Nat around the do a little further. They were now facing a massive mountain range, it's peaks glistening with snow, even during the hottest days of summer. Shortly thereafter, red light burst over the highest peak in the range.

Mew13 July 21st, 2004 10:55 AM

Nat watched in awe as thier entire range of view was bathed in red and orange light. The sunrise seemed so heavy, yet light. It was hard to describe. She smiled to herself.

Xhaiden July 21st, 2004 11:41 AM

A Lone figure sat boaredly atop a rail near where the girl had almost fallen. He sat staring at the people that had come to this rather irritating dance. His strange pupiless green eyes glanced over at Kayleigh curiously, assessing the situation. Confidant that she would be fine he returned to his musing. His thick black hair fell about his face in a dissevled mess, giving him a scruffy look. : So much for saving a Damsel in distress: He thought blandly, turning his strange gaze up to the stars. His atire was harldly formal, his shoulders covered in a black shirt that flapped open in the wind. Beneath the silk like fabris was a white undershirt. He has skipped wearing a tie altogether, carring less for formalties. His black pants were wrinkled here and there, adding to his obvious carelessness for such things. " You alright over there?" He asked, glancing over at her, crossing his arms behind his head. " You really should be careful....these things are slick..." He added, pointing to his perch.

~Ozy~ July 21st, 2004 2:33 PM

To Damian, the sunrise was a familiar sight, but no less lovely for it. Arm still around Nat, his stomach growled and he realized he hadn't eaten for nigh on 12 hours. Without really thinking, he said "I'm hungry."

Mew13 July 21st, 2004 2:52 PM

Nat giggled. "Shall we return to the ball and get something to eat?"

~Ozy~ July 21st, 2004 3:33 PM

Damian hauled himself to his feet, extending his hand toward the door. Somewhere between mocking her and total sincerity, he said "After you, of course."

Kayleigh July 21st, 2004 3:38 PM

Kayleigh sighed heavily as she finally gained back her balance, but before she could even manage a 'thank you', the person who had saved her was already gone.
Ehh, she thought, frowning slightly. Oh well...
As she began to stand back up, she heard another voice. She glanced over to see young boy looking at her.
"Yes, I'm fine," she replied, nodding slightly. "I guess that I was just being careless... But thank you for your concern."

Mew13 July 21st, 2004 6:33 PM

Nat smiled and said, "Thank you, good sir!" in a slightly mocking tone.

She then raced past him with suprising Agility for one in a dress. She giggled madly as she rounded the corner.

~Ozy~ July 21st, 2004 6:43 PM

Damian took off after amst immidiately, laughing madly, even when he slammed into a corner he didn't quite slow down enough to round.

Mew13 July 21st, 2004 6:45 PM

Nat peeked around to see Damian sprawled on the floor. This only made her giggle more.

"Haha! You're gonna let a girl in a dress beat you!?" she laughed. She then offered her hand to help him up.

~Ozy~ July 21st, 2004 6:55 PM

"Never!" Damian growled playfully, pulling Nat down beside him, then hopping up to take off running again.

Mew13 July 21st, 2004 6:58 PM

It took Nat a second to recover, but she was soon charging after Damian again, laughing all the way.

She saw him and increased her speed. With a leap, she grabbed him around the waist and took both of them down. SHe continued to laugh.

~Ozy~ July 21st, 2004 7:02 PM

"Uahhhhhughh" was all that damian managed to get out as he hit the floor. Rolling over, he grabbed Nat's arm to prevent her from getting up.

Mew13 July 21st, 2004 7:03 PM

"Arg!" Nat said, laughingly. "You've got me now!" she said, allowing herself to go limp.

~Ozy~ July 21st, 2004 7:10 PM

"Aye, lassie, you're mine." Damian said, feigning a heavy Irish accent. Gently, he moved over and grasped Nat's shoulders, pinning her.

Mew13 July 21st, 2004 7:15 PM

Nat giggled, seeing her perfect escape. When Damian had pinned her shoulders, she lifter her head and swiftly kissed him.

Taking advantage of the moment, she pushed him off and stood, ready to bolt away again.

~Ozy~ July 21st, 2004 7:25 PM

Shocked, Damian stayed perfectly still, eyes wide hands planted on the floor.

Mew13 July 21st, 2004 7:31 PM

Nat giggled a bit, now nervous. Had she acted too soon? Now she wished she had never kissed him.

~Ozy~ July 21st, 2004 7:34 PM

Finally, Damian came to his senses and stood up, smiling to beat the band. Again, without understanding why or thinking, he pulled Nat into a tight hug, and kissed her.

Mew13 July 21st, 2004 7:36 PM

Now, it was Nat's turn to be suprised. She quickly over came it and kissed him back.

~Ozy~ July 21st, 2004 7:43 PM

Damian felt happier than he had in years there, in a small hallway in a back corner of the Palace. Finally, when he needed to draw breath, he lifted his head and stared wistfully down at Nat.

ashley03 July 21st, 2004 7:45 PM

On core!!!!
p.s.- i'm not in this story-just one who's reading it.

Mew13 July 21st, 2004 7:46 PM

Nat smiled and looked up at him. She had never felt happier. She placed her head on Damian's chest and listened to his heartbeat. It was quite calming. She sighed contentidly.

ryan July 21st, 2004 9:11 PM

a man was standing in the shadows... (this is another character)
he glared at the situation that was occuring in front of his heavily shaded eyes.
"hmm..."
he took a step forward, his heavy boots make a loud thud that startled the lovebirds.
"hmm..."
he said once more.
"what have we here? i don't like the look of this one bit... nope, i'm afraid i'll have to get serious this time!"
he stepped out into the moonlight. and the people around him finaly were able to see who the shady man was... the man was wearing a tight blue uniform that showed off his huge belly more than he would have liked. he had black boots and a utility belt with a 9mm and a nightstick, on his face was a huge pair of sunglasses (even though it was the middle of the night) and a handlebar mustache.
"it's officer keepitclean!" the other ball attenders all said.
"that's right kids... let's see... i'm afraid that's a level 3 infraction, i'm going to have to report this to HQ..."
"oooo snap!" said the ball attenders.
officer keepitclean reached for something on his belt, the spectators gasp as his hand passes his gun, but his hand finaly stops on a pink pad of paper.
"yaaaaaaaaaaaupp.... that's a level three PDA..."
he handed the slip to damian.
"well, that's about all i have to say, don't make me come back here!"
officer keepitclean, then vanished in a cloud of blue smoke.

~Ozy~ July 22nd, 2004 3:37 AM

Smiling coldly, Damian tore the slip into tiny little pieces, saying "I'm sorry Cptain, but I know the law and we've comitted no violations thereof."

Mew13 July 22nd, 2004 7:10 AM

"How did he know we were here?" Nat wondered, her voice full of curiosity.

She then turned back to Damian. "Perhaps we should go back to the ball for awhile." SHe blushed. She wanted nothing more to stay right here with Damian, but what would her mother say if she got caught again?

Come to think of it, she might actually be happy that Nat had found a suitor for herself.

With these new thoughts, Nat added to her previous statement. "Or, we could ignore that stupid officer and remain here!"

~Ozy~ July 24th, 2004 3:56 AM

"Sounds like a plan to me." Damian said jokingly. In a more serious tone, he added "As long as I'm with you."

Mew13 July 24th, 2004 1:45 PM

Nat smiled, blushing sheepishly at the statement.

"Well," she said. "I'd enjoy one last dance with you!"

She looked up into his eyes, her own smiling.

~Ozy~ July 24th, 2004 10:51 PM

Damian started humming a slow dance tune, taking Nat's hands in his own. His eyes were smiling right back into hers, transfixed. He whispered to her "You're beautiful, you know."

Mew13 July 25th, 2004 2:32 PM

Nat smiled. She had never been called "beautiful" before. It was nice. She looked deeper into Damian's eyes and said quietly, "You're not too bad looking yourself, handsom," a laugh in her voice and her eyes.

She found herself humming along, recognizing the tune, though she couldn't think of the words.

Castrainer July 25th, 2004 2:45 PM

*falls from the Sky*
Hiya people... Summer Ball? But its winter here!

Skye July 25th, 2004 3:05 PM

OOC: Mind if I join you?

IC: Skye walked through the large, glass doors leading to the ballroom, with a very set expression, though a bit of nervousness showed. Her deep purple gown swept the floor just barely, allowing her sandaled feet to glide easily across the floor. She straightened her shoulders, the square neck of her rather Medeival gown sharpening its angles at her movement. She folded her small, pale hands behind her, the wide bell sleeves of her gown sweeping gracefully in the air before setting behind her.

She gazed around the lavish room, before taking a seat on one of the chairs against the wall, watching couples swirl past her, blurs of romance. She sighed, and wished she had brought a friend with her, someone to keep her company. The ball had sounded like great fun, but since she found herself suddenly very shy, she wasn't so sure.

Toying briefly with the strands of hair that had found their way out of her curly up-do, Skye treid to take her mind off her nervousness. She sat patiently, looking at the stone floor, hoping silently...

Xhaiden July 26th, 2004 11:21 AM

Kal leapt from his perch, landing lightly on the floor. " Parties suk...." He stated blandly, crossing his arms behind his head leisurly as he walked inside. " Poofy dresses, more people, more poofy dress, even more people. Yeesh..." He groaned, not really caring for crowds. He normally had panic attacks when there were to many people.

Skye July 26th, 2004 5:07 PM

Waiting stressed her much too much. Skye got up from her chair, feeling awkward, and was almost immediately swept up in a waltz. She was handed off more times that she could count, her mind dizzy and confused. Though she loved to dance, this was not what she was looking for, and she was grateful when the song was over.

Her face drawn solemn, and her heart feeling rather heavy, Skye made her way onto one of the balconies that extended from the ballroom. She placed her bare hands on the railing, looking out at the night sky, her face slowly becoming its normal, pale color, as the pink flush from dancing began to fade.

Xhaiden July 28th, 2004 9:12 AM

" Glad to see I am not the only one who feels out of place..." Kal stated, walking over to Skye. He glanced back at the mass of twirling people. He shuddered involenatarily, turning away quickly.

Skye July 28th, 2004 3:35 PM

Skye turned about, startled by the voice behind her. She managed a smile, and sat down on the railing.

"I'm afraid the ball isn't quite what I was expecting," she admitted quietly, glancing at the mass of dancers inside. "I'm not sure what I was expecting, really..."

She trailed off, and looked back at the stranger, playing with the hem of her bell sleeves nervously.

"I'm Skye," she said softly, her indigo eyes bright, reflecting the light inside the ballroom. "What's your name?"

AngelWolfie July 28th, 2004 6:24 PM

OOC: I shall join as my newest pokemorph character, ho ho! >=3

*Leaps onto grounds* Hi peoples!

Kayleigh July 29th, 2004 11:42 AM

Kayleigh leaned against the rail, tapping her foot impatiently. She couldn't help but hear the conversation between the other two people standing next to her.
Atleast I'm not the only one who feels this way... she thought, as she sighed and turned around to stare out towards the ocean.

Xhaiden July 30th, 2004 7:13 PM

"...My name is Kal..." He replied, blowing a stray strand of hair from his eyes. He was getting quite bored with this whole ordeal, prefering to be out with his wolf Siren.

Skye July 31st, 2004 6:54 PM

Skye smiled, though it was a weak one. She could tell that Kal was less-than-happy to be at the ball, as she was herself. Her dress swirled gracefully at her feet as she turned to look at the night sky once more.

"It really is quite lovely out...I almost wish I had stayed home to enjoy it," she said to no one in particular.

Xhaiden July 31st, 2004 9:35 PM

I bet Siren is havin a blast right now..." He sighed longingly, his thoughts wandering to his WHite wolfen compainion and her Black mate Listless." Lucky pests..." He groaned.

(the blind weaver changes his name to ryan because it sounds a billion times cooler)
ryan yawned... "what the? how long have i been asleep?"
the beatle cut 16 year old woke up to find himself slouched in a corner of the ballroom.
"this happens to me at every dance i go to..." he said as he pulled himself to his feet. he felt a cowlick on the back of his head at least a half foot long and eyed the bathroom and decided to venture in that direction.
"what the crap?!" ryan fell headlong because both of his legs were asleep.
"um... what do i do now?..." he couldn't get up without the help of the wall now... ryan would have called out for help had he not been as shy and quiet as he was.
"i guess i'll just... army crawl then?"
10 minutes later and 5 feet closer to the bathroom, ryan's legs stopped their buzzing and he was able to stand up.
and here we leave, ryan (for now), with a 6 inch cowlick, a pair of sore arms, and watery tired eyes standing in the middle of a ballroom.

Damian laughed softly, saying "Really? Thank you for saying so."

Mew13 August 4th, 2004 5:06 PM

Nat smiled and layed her head on his chest. She could hear his hearbeat. She sighed out of contentment.

She continued humming, wanting to stay in that moment forever.

~Ozy~ August 5th, 2004 6:03 PM

Damian put his hand up on the back of Nat's neck, drawing her closer. They continued swaying to their own music, in a grungy back corner of the palace.

Mew13 August 5th, 2004 6:07 PM

Nat smiled at him and playfully kissed Damian's nose. She looked up at him, a twinkle in her eyes.

She broke away slightly reluctanly, but smiled again. She walked back onto the balcony, her long, white dress flowing behind her, and turned back to him. A smile played on her lips and in her eyes, as an invitation for him to come out as well.

~Ozy~ August 5th, 2004 6:16 PM

Damaian stuck one hand out wistfully looking after Nat. Snapping to, he strode after her, the morning sun dazzling the pair.

Mew13 August 5th, 2004 6:20 PM

Nat smiled and said quietly, "This is perhaps the most beautiful morning I have ever laid eyes on." She paused to turn to Damian. "It would have been nothing without you," she said, softer yet.

She blushed a bit and cast her eyes back to the hills beyond the balcony.

ryan August 5th, 2004 8:21 PM

continued from.... a few days ago! (still has the 6 inch cowlick)
(my character is not crazy, the reflection is simply used as a brutaly honest conscience)
ryan walked on to the bathroom, finding it odd that nobody was doing anything except for damian and nat. he shruged, and pushed open the bathroom door.
"whoa, that is one awesome cowlick..." said ryan's reflection
"thanks very much" said ryan as he looked up from the sink
"with hair like that you could have any girl out there" said the boy in the mirror
"your crazy... i'm much too shy, and the only girls out there seem to be occupied" ryan tried to reason and looked back at the sink
"kayleigh isn't" ryan's reflection shot back
"who? o her... the one that almost fell off the balcony?" he asked though he knew full well who she was
"exactly" said the reflection
"you're pushy and annoying you know that?" ryan said, glaring at himself
"you only say that cuz you know i'm right. HA!" yelled the reflection
ryan grumbled and left the bathroom to find kayleigh...
"o crap, o crap, o crap... what am i getting myself into....?"

Skye August 6th, 2004 3:47 AM

Skye awknowleged Kal's comment with a nod. She, too, longed to be out, but with Fury, her Fearow. She got up and walked to the doors of the ballroom, noticing the dawn had come.

"It was nice to talk to you," she said softly with a kind smile. "I'll see you later I hope."

With that, she disappeared into the ballroom, and up the stairs to her room, a guest room that had been prepared for her. She changed into a flowing white nightgown, and went to sleep.

OOC: TAD, hope that's okay, since you and Mew are already in the morning hours! ^_^

ThEoNeAnDoNlY555 August 6th, 2004 8:20 AM

OOC: May i join?

IC: Jasper slowly walked in the front doors of the ball hoping to find somewhere out of the way to sit so that he wouldn't look like a fool being at a ball alone. As he walked he spotted the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen. He almost ran over to her, like a fool, but caught himself in time.
He walked slowly over to her she was leaning up against the rail of the balcony, thinking he suspected. It made him very curious as he thought "Why is she by herself she could have any man here." Soon he came upon her and stopped, leaning up against the rail as well. He then said "Sowhat's a lovely lady like you doing just leaning up against a wall alone, why aren't you dancing?" He asked.

Skye August 6th, 2004 8:47 AM

OOC: Who's your post directed to, Joe? If you mean my character, she's asleep right now...but I can fix that to fit your post if you're speaking about my character...just let me know! ^_^
