Aura weaved through the crowd with raccoon-like agility, landing gracefully beside Dubhiarr.
"Hola!" she said brightly. Aura grinned, tilting her head slightly at the other girl. "Nice ears."

Dubhiarr smirked. "Thanks. Nice tail." She took another sip of chocolate milk and licked her lips. "So what exactly are you supposed to be? A flapper raccoon chick?"

"I'm supposed to be a flapper, but Jaymie decided to have some fun with the costume." She smirked. "Though I'm wondering now if I should have been an elf instead. It seems to be a trend this year."

Dubhiarr grinned, seeing that a professor had just walked in dressed as Boromir. "Yeah. Not so much a trend as Disney, though. There's got to be at least seven people dressed as Disney characters, if you count Captain Sparrow over there and not just the cartoon couples." She nodded in Liam's general direction. He made a pretty good pirate, she thought; he certainly had the walk down to an art form.

Vincent highly doubted he was going to get an answer from himmel; turning away and looking toward the door, he brightened considerably when he saw Dominic heading toward him. Grinning, he raised a hand and waved his brother over, clapping him amiably on the shoulder when he was near enough.
"So you finally made it. Good to see you."

Jessie was excited. This was going to be her first party in years and best of all a HALLOWEEN party!! She had already decided on a costume and her brother WAS going to join her, whether he liked it or not. "Come on, James," she said to her half-brother, "We're already late!"
She opened the doors and dragged James along behind her. She felt fabulous in her Team Rocket cosplay. The short white skirt played off her legs well, complemented by the black boots and mid-drift top. She had opted to not go all 100% and dye her hair and sculpt it into that crazy swoop. Nah, natural was much easier.

James was NOT pleased. He gave his elder sister a death glare she probably didn't really deserve. But all the same she KNEW how he hated groups of people and she just had to drag him away from his writing time!
"Was going as the Team Rocket idiots really necessary?" he hissed. He stood his ground just out side of the doors. "I'm NOT going in, Jessie," he said, his tone solid and hard, "and that is final."

Dom paused briefly to hug Ariel in greeting before continuing on toward Vincent; he grinned back at his brother as he came to stand at his side, smiling and nodding to Diana and then looking out at the rest of the room.
"Wow. They don't do a half-assed job of decorating here, do they?" He whistled in appreciation. "Very nice."

Vincent laughed and shook his head. "No, they definitely don't. You should have seen this place at Christmastime, it was beautiful."
He watched Ariel move away and mingle with the crowd on the dance floor, and wondered if Jaebi was going to be here. Vincent imagined Ariel would be quite disappointed if Jaebi didn't show. Still, boyfriend or no boyfriend, he hoped she'd have a good time nonetheless.

Jessie spun on her heel to stare up at her younger sibling. "But of course we HAD to be team rocket!!" she answered, "Do you think this kind of thing just happens?" She touched his arm, doing her best to be dramatic, "No, it was FATE!" She couldn't fight back her smile.
At James' last comment she crossed her arms and cocked her hip. Hmmm, how was best to persuade him otherwise? Probably would be best to pull on his weak heart strings. She arched her eyebrow and said, "So you're going to let you're weak and slightly defenseless sister go into this cave of unknown all by herself where who knows what could happen to her?" She sighed and looked down at the floor, disappointment written all over her features. "Very well, then. I was just trying to spend some time with my brother," she mumbled.

James sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose with his thumb and index finger. Why could he not stand to see his sister pout at him, WHY?? His shoulders slumped as his physical display of defense dropped. "Fine," he sighed, "but you owe me."

Dominic followed his brother's gaze briefly before looking back at Vincent with a smile. "Ariel's certainly growing up fast. She looks more and more like Christine every day. Hard to believe she'll be sixteen soon. Doesn't it make you feel old?"

Sae entered the room with a flourish. He had dressed as Sweeney Todd. He had mussed his hair and dyed it black with a few grey streaks. He had actually been Sweeney Todd once a long time ago, so that's from where he got his costume. He walked around flipping his engraved shaving knife playfully.
He glanced around the room looking for familiar faces. "Ah, Professor Vincent!" he called happily. Sae walked over to the teacher and clapped his pale hand on Vincent's shoulder. "How are you, my good fellow?"

Vincent grinned and clapped Sae on the shoulder in return. "Splendid, my good man. SaeRyun Todd, is it?" he laughed, looking the vampire's costume over. "Very nice. Don't go slitting anyone's throats with that thing. The floor's already getting messy. Excuse me for just a moment..."
He glanced down at the puddle of wine and broken glass that still remained on the floor, and grabbed a handful of paper napkins. Crouching down, he began carefully picking up the pieces of glass in one hand while mopping up the wine with the other. Allan and his roomba would probably be here in a moment to do the job properly, but Vincent liked to help where he could. Besides, the glass was dangerous just sitting there.
He straightened up again once he'd picked up as much of the glass as he could, bundling it into a napkin and putting that into a small wastepaper basket under the snack table along with the wine-soaked napkins. He turned to look back at Sae and Dom as he wiped his hands.
"I don't think you two have met yet. Sae, this is my brother Dominic, commonly called Dom. Dom, this is Smoke's new TA, SaeRyun Rim."

Sae arched an eyebrow and bent down to assist Vincent in the cleaning. "Ah, I see what you mean, quite a big mess," he said.
He straightened and wiped off his hand. He extended his clean hand to Dominic. "Hello there, Sir," he said, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Dominic smiled and gave the man's hand a firm shake -- though not quite as firmly as he was used to. He'd grown a lot stronger since being bitten by that lycanthrope in Budapest, and he was still getting used to it. He didn't want to risk unintentionally hurting anyone.
"The pleasure's mine," he replied with a grin.

Sae returned the strong hand shake with a smile. He glanced around and inquired, "Have I missed much? I hate that I was late but I was helping my ward. . . "
It suddenly occurred to Sae that Ash was nowhere in sight. His gaze became sharp as he began to survey the room once more, looking for her.

Dominic laughed and shrugged. "Couldn't tell you. I just got here myself." He looked at Vincent for an answer, raising his eyebrows curiously. He'd apparently missed something, if there was spilled wine and broken glass to show for it.

Aramis noticed the trouble at the snack table was over and done with, so he came back over. He wanted something else to eat. Rhythan had, as usual, gone well above and beyond the call of duty... and Aramis was hungry. Sugar was better than nothing.
He grinned at what had to be Professor Hawk's brother (didn't that make him Professor Hawk as well?). Lord of the Rings seemed to be nearly as much a theme tonight as anything else. He grabbed a couple of the selections and looked around, to see where everyone was. It was easier to avoid people if you knew the lay of the land.

Sae bit his lip a little nervous. Oh well, Ash would show up eventually.
He glanced at Vincent and mirrored Dom's expression. "If I may so inquire, Sir, how did the wine spill?" He crossed his arms slightly peeved, "Have the students already gotten that rowdy?"

"Not quite, but I managed to prevent a pair of minors from drinking before being jumped by a vampire," Vincent answered. "The glass broke in the midst of that."
He caught sight of Aramis standing nearby with a glass of the forbidden substance, and raised an amused eyebrow, a bit of a grin forming on his face. "I'm going to have to see some ID, young man."

"That might be a little hard professor, I don't technically live anywhere and have you ever tried getting ID without a legal address?" Aramis replied, grinning. "Besides, it's just to act the part. If I'm going to be dressed like an Elf of Eryn Lasgalen, I must look the part."

"Yes, well. How about you play it safe and stop at one glass," Vincent replied, in a tone of voice that was slightly more on the side of command than suggestion. "Don't drink it too fast, and remember to cushion it so it doesn't go right to your head. You're lucky I know how old you are." He grinned. "Have a pleasant evening. Don't drink and drive."

Sae watched Vincent with the blond elf, a smirk spreading across his face.
He took a glass of wine and swirled it gently before taking a drink. He turned his attentions to Dom. "So what is it that you do here, Sir?" he asked.

Aramis gave him a dry look, then sighed and turned it into a smile. Professor... V. Hawk was a parent, it was only natural he would act like one. "Thank you for the concern, professor, but I've been drinking lightly since I was eight. I got drunk two years ago, and do not particularly care to repeat the experience. I know better."
He turned to Dom, looked at him, and grinned. "Mae Govannen, my lord Boromir."
He turned back to Vincent. "Does that not make you, in one sense, Faramir?"
