The Masquerade Ball Event Closed

Interactions: @Lamik Fillestar Mentions: @Saskia Nicholson @Ayden White

Aideen bit her lip. She could not pretend she hadn't seen that. That look that passed between them. As if they each wished they could be together right now, but they saw the other talking to someone else, someone that could / maybe even had replaced them. Was her existence ruining people's lives? After all, he and "Saskia" would have been much happier right now if she wasn't there in the way. "Um, I- look, I need to go."

Without waiting for a response, she turned and raced through the ballroom. Well, as fast as you can run when you keep running into other people and tripping over your dress. After a while, she found a safe corner where a large mass of people would hopefully hide her. But, she could somehow feel that he was staring at where she had gone with a hurt look on his face. Aideen had thought that maybe she could convince him to like her back, but that was before she saw Saskia. Lamik's heart was already with her, and even if she could she didn't want to rip them apart. Go! Go talk to her! Forget about me, I never mattered anyway! In fact, once you really got to meet me, I'm a monster, she thought, then turned her face away so she was looking at the wall.

Perhaps she and Lamik would always just be friends. Or not even that anymore. Why did she always have to do something wrong?

Interactions w/ @Aurelia Notrésvace @Kaegen Deathmote @Xailah Alptraum

Birthday? Did he just hear that girl say it was the cat's birthday? Do people actually keep track of pet's birthdays? No- That isn't what he should be focusing on right now. As he mentally reproached himself, Jack failed to notice Kaegen slip away into the crowd. It was only when he turned back to look at Aurelia, did he notice that he was now just standing alone. From under his mask, his brow furrowed creating a rather unpleasant expression. Lucky nobody could have seen it. A flash of silver and white caught his eye, as he scanned the nearby area. "Hey! Wait!" He called. His volume level was most likely louder than it should have been. Stepping forward, he tried to make his way through the crowd in front of him. He could feel toes and shoes alike underneath his feet as he charged through the crowd. Failure was inevitable, sadly. He just couldn't keep pace with the other two.

His head turned on a swivel looking for the girl in white and silver. He cursed under his breath at his lack of perception. Why did he have to get all caught up in his head, once again? He fell still, as he continued to search through the mingling crowd of people. Nothing. He could feel annoyance starting to build up in his chest. Idly he pressed his thumb against his index finger causing a soft 'popping' sound. He never could stop himself from cracking his knuckles. It was a clear indicator of his annoyance and anxiousness.

Eugenia couldn’t help but smile at the girl’s reaction. She seemed genuinely surprised that anyone was talking to her and Eugenia wondered if she would have preferred to be left alone. There were times when Eugenia felt that way and anyone who tried to start a conversation would quickly regret doing so. The girl’s response was enough to convince Eugenia that this was not the case.

“No, no one. I wasn’t even sure if I was going to come, to be honest,” Eugenia replied. She hadn’t had the chance to meet many people and there was no one amongst her list of acquaintances who would invite her to the ball. Eugenia was usually quick to make friends, but things seemed to be going much slower at Hogwarts than at any other school she had attended. It was probably because of how different the place was. Eugenia had never been to a boarding school, let alone a school for magic.

Once again, the girl made Eugenia smile, but this time it was because of the way she phrased her next question. Eugenia hadn’t considered the fact that some people enjoyed the anonymity of the event, the only reason she wore a mask was simply because it was a masquerade ball “Eugenia,” she answered. “And what should I call you?” Eugenia asked, deciding to go along with the option of secrecy, the girl was pretty well-hidden under that mask.

Eugenia scanned the room full of students, searching for something new to talk about. The room had gotten fuller since she last looked around it and the music seemed to get louder as the night progressed. As she watched, Eugenia thought about the many children attending the school and how different they all were. There were purebloods, half-bloods, muggle-borns, even students who weren’t completely human. There were people from all over the world, Eugenia herself being an example of one of them.

“Have you always know that you were… well, magical?” She asked.

in which maggie parker goes on a date with grayson ackley and leaves... well, you'll see.

Maggie wasn't surprised to see that all her friends were becoming increasingly occupied with their dates- she would've been the same if she knew where her date actually was. She scanned the room, looking for the one and only Grayson Ackley, who'd asked her to the ball during dance class.

She remembered, however, how she'd promised Dale a dance, and her search was cut off as she did so. She instead looked for Dale, who she soon spotted among a crowd of familiar faces. Lark was there too, and judging by the blush Maggie was able to spot from a mile off, they'd agreed to go together. As she approached, she saw Lark and Elzabeth leave, probably to get drinks or something, and Dale adopted a lost, uncomfortable expression. He was now left with Koko Riddle, who had set him on fire once, and a stocky Illvermorny student Maggie didn't know.

Deciding to play the role of "heroic savior from awkward situations" she approached the dwindling group, smiling politely at the Illverrmorny student and Koko before looking to Dale.

"You still up for that dance? It'll be quick- I don't want to keep my OTP apart for too long." she laughed, holding a hand out as an offer to Dale.

Owen liked this kid- even if he was a bit quiet. Maybe he was just being polite, but he seemed like a genuinely nice kid. Moments after he introduced himself as Dale, a girl Dale's age showed up. She had blue hair, and a thick accent, making it a little hard to understand what she was saying. He hung back a little as more students appeared, feeling a little awkward. He gazed across the room to his friends, who'd each coupled off into pairs- meaning that it'd probably be even more awkward if Owen went over there, because he'd have to deal with them eye-fucking the entire time.

He seemed to have spaced out, because once he was back in the real world, Dale, Lark, and Elzabeth were nowhere to be found. Okay, now it was really awkward. He glanced at the girl, Koko, he thought- who was the only other one left.

"Hey," he began, "I'm Owen. I'm- er, from Illvermorny."
