Firefall: [act]shuffles out of wardrobe, pulling Daffyd along behind her[/act]
Daffyd: I'm just saying, why did I have to get the one where the feathers are on top?
Firefall: What difference does it make?
Daffyd: They keep falling in front of my face! It tickles, and it makes me sneeze, and I can't see, and -
Firefall: Okay, so it makes a little difference. But I'll bet you five buc...er, coin...that people will be stepping on my feathers all night.
Daffyd: That sounds like a challenge.
s*c*p: [act]accosts them[/act] Present invitations. Now.
Firefall: [act]jumps backwards in surprise and trips over feathers, but manages to catch self on Daffyd's feathers and steadies self[/act]
Daffyd: [act]goes down[/act]
Firefall: [act]beaming[/act] Wow, those feathers are useful. [act]rummages around and produces invitation[/act] Here you go, ominous metallic penguin!
Daffyd: [act]facedown on floor[/act] You think she'd be used to penguins appearing out of nowhere by now. I am, and I live 11 months of the year inside a book.
Firefall: [act]traipses over to guestbook, oblivious, and scrawls[/act] Firefall and Daffyd, as masks. [act]looks around[/act] Oh my Lud, the Wood Between the Worlds! I remember this place! I loved this place as a kid! I wonder if any of the guinea pigs are still wandering around. [act]scans grass as if expecting one to waddle into sight[/act]
Daffyd: [act]gets to feet and brushes off costume, muttering[/act]
Firefall: Cheer up. The costumes really aren't so bad. Look! Armrests!
Daffyd: [act]eyes her wearily for a moment, then points[/act] Look! Rushton!
Firefall: [act]whips round like a hound on the scent, and bolts off[/act]
Daffyd: [act]to self[/act] Yes, I thought so. She seemed like the type. [act]notices Holy Water edging towards Rushton with a most unholy gleam in her eye[/act] She, however, does not. I sense this is going to be another long Mystics Ball. Where's the bar?

Zarak: Teknoguilder.
Ari: Yes but- Oh, yeah. Obsessive much :|
Zarak: Maybe we can get a drink later?
Ari: But I'm thirsty! I must be absorbing my salt by osmosis; I'm drying out faster than laundry on a sunny day.
Zarak: Wait. Did you say you put actual salt into your costume?
Ari: ....No |:| [act]Almost gets hand jammed in the fridge door[/act] Gah! This is ridiculous!

Garth, want a pretty shiny toy? [act]Waves mobile in front of Garth, who watches it like he's hypnotised[/act]

[act]Ari tosses the phone a few feet away, and Garth takes off after it[/act]
Zarak: Ah- hmmm
Ari: Finally! [act]Grabs a bottle of water and drink's the entire contents in seconds[/act]
Zarak: I'd take it easy on the drinks if I were you. I doubt these costumes are um....latrine compatible.
Ari: Latrine what?........Oh :-| [act]closes fridge[/act]
Zarak: You do also realise you won’t be getting your phone back in one piece right?

Bec's Inner Voice of Truth: You're one to talk.
Bec: You know what? There are too many people in my head.

Bec: In an odd American accent?

Bec: [act]*smirk*[/act] No.
Firefall: [act]*has slowed down and is approaching Rushton, carefully avoiding tripping over her feathers*[/act]
Rushton: [act]*is still pontificating*[/act] And then, as I held him down with one hand, I took out a small tablespoon with the other...
Bec: [act]*edges sideways and 'accidentally' kicks over a security penguin with a loud crash*[/act]
Firefall: [act]*trips over her feathers*[/act]
Rushton: [act]*catches her gallantly*[/act] Ah, I've only been here for ten minutes and I've already saved a damsel in distress...

Agyllian: No, but best not to go touching them anyway. Actually I wonder what would happen if you drank a whole puddle.
Garth: [act]Has found the automated light switch in the fridge after 'dismantling' Ari's phone[/act] Light on, light off, light on...
Agyllian: Garth! Remember me? I taught you about bikes last time I saw you :D
Garth: [act]Still distracted by the fridge[/act] For Lud's sake, they call it a Fir ridge yet I see no relevance to trees in here or a ridge. Do you know how it keeps the cold in?
Agyllian: Ah, maybe. I'll send you a book for christmas.
[act]A group of people are getting annoyed waiting to get to the fridge.[/act] ":(

[act]MornirKirara and her date stand wait in the room with the wardrobe. MK opens one door and rearranges here head piece[/act]
Date: What on earth do you have on your head?
MK: [act]while fixing on her hair[/act] This year's theme is 'inanimate objects'
Date: Inanimate - you mean like not alive?
MK: [act]absent mindedly[/act] I guess that's one way of thinking of it.
Date: [act]gleam[/act] Well, I can think of an easier way of achieving that goal...
MornirKirara: [act]looks[/act] I'll pretend I didn't hear that. [act]observes date's costume[/act] Really - is that the best you can come up with? Didn't you get my memo?
Date: I choose not to involve myself in Misfit activities.
MK: Well, you're not coming in with me dressed like that.
Date: Fine with me -
MK: [act]grabs by jacket[/act] And you're not leaving either.
Date: I don't have to go anywhere with you!
MK: Tough bikkies Malik! Do you think I'm any happier having you as my date? [act]mopes[/act] Oh wells, perhaps I might run into Rushton.
Malik: Ugh, not the Misifit keeper?
MK: [act]scowls and looks up[/act] Lud - what did I do to deserve this? Oh wells, chin up MK, make the best with what you've got!
Malik: Great, I got a girl that's not only a misfit, but talks to herself.
MK: [act]ignores comment[/act] Luckily I came prepared [act]whips out headpiece and jams it on Malik before he knows what has hit him[/act]
Malik: ARGH! What have you put on me woman?!
MK: Well, our theme is 'fork' so you're now matching me.
Malik: Get it off get it off!
MK: [act]rolls eyes[/act] Well, actually, not not really a fork, you're more what we call a 'spork'
[act]cue ominous music. MK and Malik look around[/act]
Malik: What was that?
MK: [act]looks over shoulder hastily[/act] Um, I'm not sure. But I do have the last part of your costume:
[act]MK reaches around and presents to Malik a rather large white eating utensil.
Malik's eyes grow wide and seems almost mesmerised by the object.[/act]
Malik: It's... beautiful!
MK: o_O [act]at Malik's sudden fascination with his costume accessory[/act]
Malik: What do you say this ... ingenious contraption is?
MK: Ah... a 'spork'
[act]thunder clap[/act]
[act]MK jumps, but Malik seems absorbed turning the spork over carefully, analysing ever angle, ever inch[/act]
MK:... right, well come on, let's go in then.
[act]MK and Malik enter the wardrobe, MK effectively having to duck and navigate her way through low hanging branches and leaves... yes she's thinking perhaps a large prong-like thing on the top of your head wasn't the best idea in a forest[/act]
s*c*p: **tickets**
MK: [act]hands them over[/act]
s*c*p: [act]anaylses[/act] **no weapons are allowed to be taken on the premises**
MK: Weapons? Oh, these, no these are just props, see [act]flicks Malik's headpiece[/act] all just plastic.
s*c*p: **okay, proceed**
[act]MK goes to sign in guest book: MornirKirara of the Ashlings and Malik of the Traitors as fork and spork.
MK grins, looking up to see if Malik has noticed her little introduction about him, but instead she is surprised to see him almost looking excited with ball that lay before him. He is clutching his Spork tight in hand [/act]
MK: [act]frowns[/act] ... Now I knew a knife was out of the question, but... maybe I should have gone with the spoon...

Bec: You made it!
Tanya: I know, and it's wonderful. I wish I'd come to one of these things sooner, things just seem to get so hectic and bam I miss it.
Bec: So decided not to dress up?
Tanya: I am dressed up. I'm a silver cross like I said. Lovin' the holy water by the way.
Bec: [act]Raises an eyebrow at the obviously black and red costume[/act] Right of course.
Tanya: Well I was running late again and I couldn't find any silver dresses and...well I wanted to be able to dance at my first ball. [act]looks sheepish[/act] sorry. I am wearing a cross though, so it'll stll keep the nasties away.
Bec: You know what. As long as a certain nasty who shall remain un-named isn't here, I don't really care. Speaking of guys, where's your date?
Tanya: Oh him. He never showed up. Running late I guess. I'm sure he'll turn up eventually. Doesn't matter he has his ticket, but I didn't want to be late. I'll just enjoy the party without him for a while.

Swallow: Why am I the 'Jack' of hearts? I should be the king.

Bec: [act]momentarily distracted[/act] Good Lud...what did they do to you in that cloister?
Firefall: [act]fanning self and looking around bewilderedly[/act] What happened? I tripped over my feathers, Rushton was there, there was fuzzy greyness for a while, and then I came to to find myself lacking both a date and Rushton.
Bec: ...Wait, what? [act]looks around wildly[/act] Curses, he's gone! I struggle with the Inner Fangirl for just a moment and next thing I know -
Jes: Rushton, Rushton...isn't he that fellow betrothed to my sister?
Firefall: [act]throws him a pained look[/act] Must you bring that up?
Jes: [act]musingly[/act] Maybe I should go give him the old "Stay away from my sister" speech...just to show Elspeth I'm paying attention...
Bec: [act]thoughtfully[/act] Hmm, you know, that might actually prove sufficient distraction while I sneak up behind him and...well, you know. Bloodshed, torment, pain, and so on.
Daffyd: [act]popping up from somewhere[/act] You'll have to find him first.
Firefall: [act]doing a double take[/act] Where did you come from?
Daffyd: [act]looking long-suffering[/act] I've been here the whole time, but the feathers fell over my face again and nobody noticed me.
Firefall: You do look a bit like one of the trees. Or a very large black fern.
Jes: So where's this Rushton gone to, anyway?
Firefall: [act]pointing immediately in a certain direction[/act] That way.
Daffyd: How do you know? I can't see him.
Firefall: [act]as if it's obvious[/act] My Rushton Sense is tingling.
