[ precisely an hour and a half after the doors open, mukuro shows up out of the blue, tie knotted firmly at his throat, the lines of his suit (it must be an illusion, in all its incongruity) sleek and sharp. there's so little occasion to dress up in nuadoria that he makes a show of it, polished shoes tapping with each step as he helps himself to a drink.
looking over the rim of the glass, he lets his eyes sweep the area casually, a faint smile playing on his mouth. dai is certainly enjoying himself, isn't he? ]
[ shouichi stumbles in several minutes after and looking nowhere near as neat & collected. (wearing a shirt that failed to be tucked in and a cardigan that was at least one size too large.) he nearly trips over his own two feet while attempting to straighten his tie.
obviously being here was a terrible idea, but he'd never really been known for making wise choices.
and as he suspiciously stares down a seemingly innocent pitcher of water, mukuro catches his eye. granted, his appearance and presence both had always been rather commanding, but this was bordering on the ridiculous. narrowing his eyes, he pours from the pitcher, seeming to no longer care about any potential poison. ]
[ he's already spotted shouichi, the unmistakeable flail of gangly limbs and mop of red sticking out like a sore thumb. sipping at his drink, mukuro gives him another once over, eyes lingering on his tie, before he answers: ]
Under the circumstances, it seems appropriate. [ don't worry, shouichi, if there was poison in there, mukuro will be the first to drop. who knows, he might even have time to vomit it out before succumbing to it himself.
mukuro lets his smile grow, the sharp curve of it not in the least reassuring ]
[god if reanbell didn't take so long to get ready, they'd been here earlier. except why are they here in the first place. zephyr's off on the side, sulking and being a party pooer in general, his arms crossed and the holster to his gun clearly visible to anyone who passes by.
he's not going to trust anything or anyone here - even the food, assholes - even though reanbell's going around and being a social butterfly in general.
if you try anything on his big/little sister figure HE'LL SHOOT YOU OK]
You could eat something. You haven't eaten all day. And I'm sure the food is fine. [she even tasted it for you! and there's nothing wrong with it. she hopes.]

This is one of those lovely evenings where it's just begging to be disrupted. Although things have been peaceful so far and are slowly going to be drawing to a close soon, it's not meant to end this way.
At about 10:30 PM the lights flicker, but other than that there is no suggestion as to what's just around the corner.
10:40 PM: it's peaceful, there's still music and food and an overall (almost eerie) peace to the party.
10:45 PM: It's not that surprising, is it, when the lights go out and everything goes black?
It's the sound of something cracking, like the very air itself being ripped apart that breaks the silence. The lights flicker back on barely in time for the show to be witnessed.
There is indeed a giant tear in the middle of the festivities, a large portal that shows only blackness, the lights within the area occasionally flickering and causing what seems to be mist slowly flowing out of the darkness to be seen.

[It wasn't really correct to say that Luke had been expecting this. In fact, he'd nearly inhaled his hors d'oeuvres in shock. But he'd been on edge all night, just waiting for the moment where he would have to rip out his sword and throw himself into a battle.]
[And now -- yeah, a big ugly dragon out of nowhere was definitely a good reason to start fighting. So what if it was a little big and -- uh, fearsome looking? He fought worse than this, surely? Although not alone.]
[Drawing his sword, Luke leapt onto a nearby table and launched himself at the creature.]
[Don't worry, Luke, surely you won't be alone for this!
The dragon isn't exactly paying attention to anyone in particular, but is quick to turn its attention to Luke when the attack connects over its back. The attack scrapes along, although its scales seem harder than bone and that sensation will vibrate through Luke's weapon back at him.
Nevertheless, it's a scratch and the dragon doesn't like it so it goes to snap its jaws in the direction of Luke, fully satisfied with the concept of chomping on him.]

A little too flashy, don't you think?
[ mukuro would know what he was referring to. ]

Has anyone told you your tie is crooked?

One of the things you seem to have in common. [ shouichi gestures to dai's less than humble abode. ]
Not that I'm at all surprised. [ it's still crooked, by the way. just on the opposite side from before. ]

reanbell had been off on her own exploring the party for a bit but she's coming up to him now, looking a bit concerned.]
Are you going to stay in the corner for the entire party?
[really, zephyr? REALLY?
actually, she's pretty worried he might actually try. which is why she's here to fix it. heh heh]
Reply
Yeah, what about it? It's not like there's anything better to do.
[really, reanbell. REALLY?
why would zephyr do anything else otherwise.]

reanbell thought he would say that.]

That's not the problem, however.
The problem is what's come out of that hole.
