It was Dec 22nd, just one day before the Christmas break in 2022, the time when Rita would come back to London and spend the Christmas holiday with her muggle family of four in Wandsworth. But it seemed that the Christmas holiday had come earlier this year, since the extremely close duo Rita could see almost everywhere in Hogwarts and were always together, the third year Ravenclaw Bailey Glade and the second year Gryffindor Kim Aoki, had decided to hold a Christmas Party in the ballroom at 1 pm after lunch, an activity Rita just could not resist the temptation to go to. "A BaiKim Christmas Celebration? It just sounds like a thing I shall not miss! I have enjoyed the Halloween party organized by Kim, with the Triller dance and the spider game, things like that, so I believe this Christmas celebration is going to be interesting as well! Let me quickly finish my lunch, put on the pretty blue dress my mum bought me during summer holiday, and go to ballroom now!" The Second Year Hufflepuff with short black hair thought while eating her lunch in the great hall, before Rita quickly finished her lunch, put on her blue dress, and ran quickly to the ball room to attend the party.

When Rita arrived at the party, the Second Year Hufflepuff found out she was still quite early, since besides the organizer of the party, Bailey and Kim, there was only one person who arrived before her, Damion White, the fourth year Ravenclaw, also a Quidditch Player, that Rita remembered from the flying club and the hospital wing visit. "Hi, Bailey, Kim, and Damion! You all look stunning today! I hope you three are doing great today! We are all here for the BaiKim Christmas Party, right?" The Second Year Hufflepuff waved to the three with a smile, then decided to stood somewhere and waited for more people to arrive.

Aida M.A. Ellwood knew neither Kim Sato nor Bailey Glade, nor anything about their interpersonal dynamics. The white wix was simply speeding through the halls trying to overcome a wave of claustrophobia when, stumbling upon an open invitation to the BaiKim bash, Aida walked right in. It had to be more interesting inside than the same old hallways, and distractions meant less anxiety.

Indeed, the bash’s festive setup proved stimulating enough to silence Aida’s gut turmoil just long enough to stride through the entrance and across to the far windows. What of greeting the hosts of the event, or at the very least trying to identify who they were? No, instead Aida began pacing a circuit from one side of the room to another like a caged animal. Social niceties? Debonair dignity? Reducing one iota of mania or not appearing raised by wolves? Couldn’t be Aida.

A tickle in the back of the wix’s mind warned of the beginning of another “episode.” Although ignorant of the technical diagnosis of their schizophrenic condition, Aida knew well enough that it would “make people act funny” around them if the wix didn’t exit soon. Not looking for anyone in particular to interact with but simply trapped inside the bizarre architecture and sociopolitical trappings of the human-dominated school, Aida wandered like a lost soul across the dance floor to reach the starting point of yet another route around the room.

Available for interaction, particularly with @Jack Burnett, or Kim and Bailey

Pandora took one last look at her reflection in the mirror. She had straightened her short wavy hair and was not comfortable in this dress. But once she was involved she couldn't go back. She took a deep breath and left the bathroom.

She started talking to herself as she crossed the corridor. The normal thing is that Pandora is just a prom like everyone else. It's your first time going to the prom and... and it's fantastic bash. You'll probably know who's coming.

While she was thinking these things, he saw that he had come to the ballroom. She went inside, saying that the heroes are not afraid. It was a little more stressed when she saw inside. Gabriel had not come.

Being a little stressed, she moved to the table full of sweets and started eating some chocolate. When she feel a little more relaxed she went where the others were.

"Hi Bailey, isn't it nice party. Hi Rita, you are so beautiful. I think this party will be great. Kim you look so handsome."

Despite being stressed, Pandora managed to speak wildly and energetically. Was happy about it. I guess she didn't need to be stressed. She thought that she just had to wait for Gabriel.

Larino was sat in the common room, with a book in his hands. It was a muggle fantasy novel, one of the ones he had brought from home back in September. As he turned the page, his sister appeared in front of him, holding a white and silver kimono and haori, and his pair of dark grey jika-tabi, which you could never normally see under his kimonos anyway. He owned a fair few, but these clothes weren't his. In fact, they looked like his uncle's, probably with a few adjustments so they would fit him. This felt strangely like five days' prior, when she had appeared while he was sat in the exact same seat, probably for the same reason. He had heard about another event happening in the Great Hall, but he hadn't gotten to signups in time, so wasn't going. And that's what he told the third year: "This feels just like Saturday, but I didn't sign up. Therefore, I'm not going." On the outside, he always was really quite antisocial, but had secretly enjoyed the Christmas party at the weekend prior, so was, internally, rather disappointed about how he would have missed the chance. Unless... she hadn't... had she..? "Of course you did..." He muttered, then rushed upstairs to his dormitory to quickly change.

He looked magnificent. Surely, he'd be the only one wearing something like this, since he was almost certain that the only Japanese students in the school were him and his sister, but he liked displaying his heritage at events like this. It made him feel... special. But in the good way, even though he was special in both ways. Slipping his rock into one of the pockets on his haori, he walked out of his dorm, then out of the Slytherin Common Room. He passed his sister gracefully, and headed up quite a number of stairs to the ballroom, where the doors were open.

Since he hadn't organised to come with anyone, he decided to stand awkwardly by the corner, and wait for either someone he knew to show up, or for someone else to strike a conversation with him. He didn't know which would happen, but was glad he was at a social event, for once in his life.

======• S U M M A R Y •====== Reducio Larino had missed the signups for the Baikim Bash, but his sister had signed him up, and thought she was forcing him to go, when really he was sad he had missed the deadline. She gave him a white and silver kimono and haori, and his pair of jika-tabis, and walked up to the ballroom. He then decided to stand around and wait for someone he knew to turn up, or for someone else to strike up a conversation with him. ======• C L O T H I N G •====== Reducio To reduce confusion in his outfit, here is a short description of each clothing item Larino is wearing: Kimono: traditional Japanese garment, worn by both males and females, vaguely resembles a dress Haori: a jacket worn over the kimono Jika-Tabi: tabi are socks, where the big toe is split off from the rest; jika-tabi are tabi with a rubber sole on the bottom to be worn as shoes rather than socks

After reading an invitation sent out to him for a Christmas Bash, hosted by Bailey and Kim. He was- well, excited! He prepared himself, nothing much, he put on a suit his mother had bought him, and swiftly tried to make his hair- more formal? Nothing changed really since he couldn't help having his hair so curled. Halfway to the ballroom, he stopped. Oh no! He slapped his forehead, he had forgotten the presents! The presents his mom bought for him to "give away" to friends. He practically threw everything out of his trunk looking for the presents. By now, he was a bit late, but thankfully, he found a blue box and a red box. Thank god it was the present! He ran as fast as he could towards the ballroom, nearly tripping. Once he was close enough, he stopped running and started walking, so he wouldn't sweat. He entered the ballroom and it was decorated and he saw the large dance floor. Wow! This place was decorated nicely. He approached Bailey and handed both Kim and Bailey the boxes, the red one for Kim, and the blue one for Bailey. "I hope you guys like it! It's- kind of cheap- if that's alright?" He said, hoping they would still enjoy his present.

There used to be a time when Adya disliked being in her home. Not to mention, she still does, but along with that, she misses everything about home too. She misses being ranted at by her mom, saying no to all the conditions of her dad and, most importantly her siblings' quarrels. For the next few days, she'll be able to have all those again.

"-Oh" the girl halted on her way to the school grounds, remembering something in a flash. There's 'BaiKim Christmas Celebration Bash' she had to show up today. The girl had no idea about why exactly it had that name or who the host was. She got the invitation somehow and is aware of where it's happening. It doesn't hurt to attend the party and socialize.

Adya looked down at her roll-up white knit jumper and skin fit jeans. She actually combed her hair this morning and... Simply don't look at her shoes, she's just going to ignore it. The girl didn't find any reason for changing for this occasion as she already had some white on her outfit and moved towards the ballroom.

After the stairs were done playing with her, the girl settled her foot on the ballroom and glanced around the area. There appeared a lot of good looking, well dressed people at the party. They all looked somewhat familiar but never officially introduced. Among them, there were two people with a crown on top of their heads who she guessed were supposed to be the hosts.

Walking towards them, "You guys look so nice-" turning her head towards the boy with the crown on, " - especially you, you know?" with a glint in her, she glanced at his suit. Adya never liked dolling up but she liked it when people did so. Her lips quirked up with a slight smile, "Oh sorry, I didn't introduce myself, I am Adya Oakes and what's your name, Handsome?" She stretched out her hands towards him for a handshake. Yes, she looked only at him for quite a while.

Lucas wasn't entierly sure when or how he'd happened upon an invitation to this Christmas thing, but he had, and after some consideration, he'd decided he'd go and have a look around. It could be a good chance for him to meet people after all. However, as a kid his parents had dragged him around to many balls, parties, and many things of that nature, and he knew from a lot of experience, he'd probably be very bored if he went alone.

If he was going to go with someone, then he'd have to make some effort to look presentable, but he outright refused to wear a suit. He always found them too be far too hot, and he'd loose the jacket or something, so instead he settled for a pair of smart trousers, and a simple white shirt tucked into the wasteband. Sorting out his hair was a whole other issue for him, most strands would stubbornly fall out of whatever style he tried to put them into. After spending far longer than he'd ever care to admit, he finally had his hair somewhat styled.

Having finally gotten his head around the layout of the school, Lucas had no issues in finding his way down to the ballroom. He stuck his head in the door, glancing around briefly at how many people were there. He was presumably a bit early, so instead of stepping in straight away, he decided to wait for Ayuna by the door.
