One Robot,One Mistress, and A Freak from a Theater

[Fubuki ☆ Phoenix]

Faye pushed the doors open to the ballroom, color hit her eyes causing her to blink rapidly and adjust. "Wow, I havent seen a place this colorful since that rave party last summer." She muttered to herself. Picking up some of her dress from dragging on the floor, Faye strolled into the certain of the room, spinning around and looking up at the decorations.

Stopping so that her body faced out towards the entrance, Faye slid her eyes down to eye level of the doors waiting for other guests to enter and to see their faces of the room. People filled in around her, students, a teacher or two but none she reconized.

[•Mouse•]

Maeve was one of the students who had filed in around Faye. However, her eyes were not on that young girl, they were all about. She was looking for one person and couldn't seem to find him just yet. It was a little annoying, but Maeve was sure to win eventually. If it was a game that is. Who knew! Hands on hips, Maeve slowly looked about, head turning very slowly to take in every face that passed her by. Did she over look him or something? Maeve couldn't tell anymore.

Carmela had bounded past Maeve and smiled pleasently at Faye as she dodged her gracefully. The girl had seemed to stop walking to take in the sites. " Hi" She called happily before making her way towards a table. But she stopped and looked about, so many powers. Her sensing was going haywire as it focused on each person and screamed the powers into her mind. " Oh this isn't cool. MAEEEVE!" Came a squeal as she scurried over to Maeve and hide behind her.

" Great." Sighed Maeve unhappily as the younger of the two planted herself firmly between the wall and Maeve's left side.

[Ven]

Ven swept into the danger room, his cape flying uup behind him in a flurry of folds, it actually seemed to stay airborne far longer than it was supposed to, as Ven had supplemented it with wires here and there, causeing it to almost parachute out. he had to admit it was quite the way to make an enterance, as conversation slowly dulled down upon his enetering the room.
After hisn overly grandeour enterance he began to walk around, his cape now limp at his sides, covering his arms as he strolled around the room. For once he found himself not attracting people's eyes. With the amount of flamboince currently in the room he held nothing spectacular about himself. He then began his search for Maeve, looking people casually in the eye hoping the next one he saw would be Maeve.

[bandit]

Caynce slowly reopened his eyes, his vision blurred for the initial seconds after the action, and then sharpened once more. The room had been filled with an even larger crowd, though most were on the sides of room, waiting for something. He rubbed his eyes, breathing quietly as his gaze traveled and rested on Faye, a girl he had seen earlier that day. He was immediatly able to recognize her, like he was with most people.

"Ah.." he said drowsily. It was awkard, he had actually fallen asleep before, and he knew he hadn't missed much. Only a few people were on the dance floor, and besides, he couldn't sleep for long anyway. The poor child was like an insomniac, and now he wasn beginning to doubt the fact he wasn't. Shaking his head to clear the beginnigs of an irrevelant subject, the pallid child shifted in his seat at the empty table, eyes closing halfway again.

[•Mouse•]

There he was, the one she had been looking high and low for. " Carmela, that's Ven right?" Came Maeve's hurried question. A finger shot out and pointed to the Phantom of the Opera figure. The little girl looked upon Ven for only a second, the power was the backup to the fact she could almost spot her friend from a mile away.

" It iiis!" Squealled Carmela. She raced towards him, arms out to hug the boy who had bought Monty for her. " VEN!" Hollered Carmela as she skidded to a stop before him. Her smile was unbelievable as she hadn't seen him in sometime. " Hi! Look, Monty's here!" Carmela gingerly pulled a Green suited Monty from her pocket and held him out.

" Damn that brat!" Scowled Maeve as she hurried over to Ven. She smiled, taking in the sight and enjoying it beyond all belief. A tongue wanted to badly to run over her upperlip as if showing him that she was impressed. However, to avoid ruining the lipstick, Maeve refrained and stepped closer. " Found you!" She said as if they had been playing hide and seek or something.

[Ven]

"Ahhhhh, how is our little mammal today?" Ven asked carmela happily, rubbing his forefinger over the top of the creatures head.

"And how is our favorite little girl?" Ven said somewhat quieter, drapping an arm over Maeve, kissing her softly on the cheek. He then quickly remembered that Carmela was there, and that for his plans to take fuull effect he had to stay on her good graces.

"Is this okay with you?" He asked Carmela, raiseing the eyebrow that wasn't covered in his bone white mask.

[•Mouse•]

Carmela looked confused a little as he asked about something being okay. " Huh? Oh, you and Mae-Vae, sure. It's your life, Ven! And Monty is happy, aren't you." The chinchilla replied with what seemed to be a squeak of sorts. He also seemed to enjoy the attention he had been given from Ven. It was lovely to say the least.

" I'm fine." Replied Maeve, turning her head to kiss his jawline, it being the only thing she could kiss other than his lips.Ah, screw it. Her lips pressed to his for a second, a greeting that seemed far more appropriate than his jawline. " She already knows, Ven. Freaked out for five minutes, shrugged and said whatever. Didn't ya, brat?"

" Stop calling me brat!" Whined Carmela. Maeve shook her head in refusal and the little girl seemed a bit annoyed but turned her attention to Ven. " But, it's how she said. So, Everything is okiedokie. Why would I mind any ways!?" She said rather simply. It appeared that the generally unaware child knew more than she let on.

[Ven]

"Well thats spectacular Carmela, thank you." Ven said, the humanity coming back into him bease of carmela's powers, making him nicer.

He leaned into Maeve a bit more, his lips hardly moving as he began to spoke.
"Please Maeve, play nice with Carmela here. If you do I can give you a nice title." He leaned over to her other cheek kissing that one now.

"How does queen of a new society sound? The Viridis? Just please my dear, play nicely with her, please." He leaned back out now and quickly clasped his hands together.

"Drink anyone?" he asked cheerily, his eyes moving from carmela to Maeve.

[•Mouse•]

Carmela stuck her tongue out as she head the first play nice comment. She smiled happy to hear he was on her side on this particular subject. The prospect of not being caleld Brat seemed to make her happier and forgive Maeve for her rude comments from before. And at hearing something about a drink, Carmela nodded a hundred times over. " Of course!" She said cheerily as she looked about wildly for the drinks table.

" Ooh." Maeve whispered hearing the proposal of being queen of some Society. Viridis, intersting sounding a bit catchy to her ears, Maeve smiled. As she felt his lips brush against her cheek she smiled once more, unable to help herself against his charm. " I do suppose I can be nicer." Sighed Maeve, unhappy about the conditions. But, the idea of getting a new title seemed much better. She felt her own powers slip away as the little girl had grown closer to her and Ven in excitement. " A drink would be fantastic." Maeve said, agreeing with Carmela on the fact a drink seemed like a good idea.

[Fubuki ☆ Phoenix]

Faye was spinning around, one girl had said hello to her, "Um hi." She muttered as the girl walked off. Suddenly Faye went an empty cold as everything seemed to hush down as a guy entered the dance, doning the Phantoms costume. Realizing she was staring at him a bit, Faye tugged at the corner of her gloves, and turned away from the man and the girls that swamped around him.

Glancing over towards a sorrower being, Faye noticed it was Caynce, the boy she had "met" in the courtyard. /Should I go speak to him? Nah, he didnt seem like he really wanted to talk to me in the courtyard. Perhaps I'll just wait.\ Nodding to herself, Faye slipped over towards the food and drink table. Scooping up a cup of some redish drink, she drained the cup and went in for another cup of the liquid.

[Ven]

Ven left the two girls too go get their drinks, when he noticed Faye staring at him. Sneaking upp behind her, he tapped her on the shoulder breifly.

"You like the costume?" He said leaning his head next to hers breifly, before walking away towards the drink bowl. he quickly grabbed three cups balancing them inbetween his fingers, then switfly scopping beverage into all them. he then quickly returned to Maeve and Carmela, drinks in hand.

[•Mouse•]

Maeve smiled, gingerly removing the cup from Ven's hand and sipping at it slowly. " Thanks." She said, eyes seemingly looking past him to the girl he had spoken to. Her eyes shifted once more to Carmela who had leapt up, snatched the cup from Ven and drained half of it's contents.

" Yummy! YUMMY!" Swooned the girl as she sipped with utter glee.

[Fubuki ☆ Phoenix]

Faye turned her head slightly to the left at the tap on her back. Stopping from hitting the Phantom head on, she let him slide his face right next to hers, when normal she would freak about another gifted getting that close to touching her. "You like the costume?" he had spoken to her. Faye remained silent and stayed still as he walked back to the two girls. Once he was gone, Faye turned around and stared at him, only to have her eyes caught by Maeve.

Sitting her cup down, Faye fluttered her eyes away from the Phantom and strolled forward, like she was going to walk right into their small group. Eyes cast downward, Faye almost brushed right into Ven but side stepped him, muttering, "Love the costume." it was under her breath, but clear as day. Lifting her head up as she passed him, Faye folded her gloved hands and continued to walk forward.

[Ven]

Ven grinned a little as she complimented his costume. He had to admit he thought hewas pretty damn smooth. Besides if you looked at him from any angle he pretty much looked like he rocked. Which he did.

Really he did look pretty cool. The cstume was intiimidating as hell, but in a suntle way, and now he was delivering drinnks to two girls, all the while keeping the three beverages balanced between his fingers, so he appeared to have a certain amount of grace. then he had a girl whispering things to him from behind. Just by looking at him it seemed he rocked. In reality he only rocked slightly less than it looked he did.

"Glad you two like the drinks."

[Fubuki ☆ Phoenix]

Slipping into the crowd that was now danceing around the ballroom, Faye glanced back at the Phantom and saw he looked a bit pleased with himself, /Ha I've seen his type before, his names probably Ben White, and he lives in a giant mansion with the gift to see into his rich and romantic life.\ Faye turned back around from Ven and mad a gaging noise, "Just choke me, its pretty sickening that I put myself up so high just so I can afford the time to breath." Shaking her head side to side, Faye felt the borrowed jewelery tap againest her skin.
Stopping in a circle of people danceing around her, Faye brought a gloved hand up to her cheek, catching a lone tear that pushed its way up from her emotions, "Well thats silly, why should I show self pity." She snapped at herself, looking once more at the Phantom and his happy friends, Faye strolled towards the exit at a bit of a rush, her dress dragging againest the floor.
