WOOHOO! Y'all are going to this ball!

BUT I DON'T WANNA GO TO A BALL -

Because the love of your life won't be there?

I DON'T SEE HOBBES HANGING AROUND!

Hobbes is - busy. He's got better things to do than be dragged to some ball . . . 

And you don't? *snickers*

At least I have a boyfriend. You've got nobody.

I got a love note once!

ONCE.

You shouldn't talk, your romance with Puck is -

 NONEXISTANT BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE PUCK!!

Mhm. Of course you don't.

I promise I'm not staying but they're not about to introduce themselves or describe what they're wearing so I'm going to do it for them -

Dev (Devil Owl) is wearing a bright purple suit with a white button-up and purple tie. He refused to get rid of his old scuffed sneakers, which he colored - with purple *rolls eyes* - in magic marker. I made him put his long hair down for this event, but I guarantee it'll be back up in its customary ponytail before it's half over. Dev is taken - NO I'M NOT! - but he won't admit it. He's always up to making some friends in the PILLOW WAR ZONE, though.

Feather loooves dressing up for balls. She's wearing a long, flowy white dress with an illusion top and puffy, see-through sleeves. Her skirt is ballgown thick. She's put her brown hair back into two braids that wrap around her head. Feather's keeping an eye out for Hobbes, but always willing to start up a chat with other bookish AEs.

Cú (Cú Chulainn) pretty much refused to dress up, so I got her into semiformal (business casual? semicasual? semicasual might fit best) wear. She's wearing a dark plaid button-down and nice jeans with hi-tops she's never worn. Her wild red hair has been tamed into two braids that hang in loops around her ears. Cú is open to shipping (but keeping an eye out for Cloud, who she still hasn't been able to talk to about that love note!).

Okay bye I was never here

Hey Ace are you a male AE open for shipping? (Rogue You really need to work on your shipping techniques...)

REALLY?? Perfect! Can we ship them?

Uh, hi, um, Ace. Nice to meet you. *Nervously tucks stray hair behind ear* Rogue, please get out before I have to report you. It would be undignified if you were dragged out. 

Trevor, I'd love to dance with you! Whenever the ball starts (and it may have already; Star hasn't looked through this whole thread yet whoops) I will save my first dance (and my second, and my third...) all for you.

Until then...

~Zoey (Starseeker's AE) 

Ooh, a ball? Fancy! This is the perfect time to introduce... Eris! She's a new AE, speaks in italics. She's coming to join Counter, who was getting lonely.

Hey, Eris? You should come say hi to everyone. They all want to meet you!

Do I want to meet them, though? There's the real question.

I think you do. They're super cool! Well, most of 'em.

Hm, I'll take your word for it. Hello, all, I'm Eris. I'm new here. Uh... yeah. That's about it. Is that enough?

Yeah, that's good. Everyone, be nice to Eris or she'll take off her metal leg and clobber you with it! Ow, don't hit me, Eris!

I am NOT taking my leg off and you DO NOT need to mention it, Counter! Everyone can see it, anyway. It's not exactly subtle. Yeah, I have a prosthetic leg, it's made of metal, I need it to walk. Does anyone have a problem with that? No? Excellent, we'll all get along famously.  

So now that we've gotten that out of the way, here's what everyone's wearing!

Counter will be wearing dress pants and a nice shirt. He's given up his traditional converse for the night (Not voluntarily!) and will be wearing fancy black shoes instead. He's also got his hair all gelled up instead of letting it flop into his eyes as usual. (You look like a blond Jimmy Neutron.) (I do not! But... should I take it out, do you think?) (Aw, Counter, I meant it in the nicest way possible. Don't take it out, ya look fine!) Counter is ok with taking a boy or a girl to the ball.

Eris will be wearing- If this is a dress I will NOT be happy! I don't DO dresses.- It's not a dress, I promise. Ahem. Eris will be wearing a tailored purple waistcoat with matching pants, a black silk shirt, and grey shoes. Her hair, which is shaved on one side and chin length on the other, will be dyed green for the occasion. Eris isn't sure about being shipped, but would like to go to the ball with a new friend of any gender or orientation.
