25th

[Bellemere was busy being stoic and waiting for when they'd give back her daughter. She figured it could happen, but still. It's not just something you know ahead of time and deal with. That said? When she's in the bar having a drink, she manages to stumble upon a Couple's Mask.

If you're in the bar, prepare to have a flustered, content Bellemere tackling you for hugs. Maybe taking your beer. Ahahahaohoho. Granted she has to lift her mask up for that bit, but hey, this thing is making her feel so cuddly and content.]

29th or 30th

[Leaaaning in.]

I'm feeling fine! I'm not really sure why... I mean, maybe it's just the booze talking, but I feel a lot better than earlier, anyway.

[fallenambitions]

I think it might be more than just that... [....This isn't really happening, this isn't really happening-Luceti Valley was a lie-these feelings aren't real--she's really warm--]

Where did you find this mask?

[mikandelinquent]

[She shrugs, leaning in and taking a sip of her own drink. Hmm.]

I found it here at the bar; was wondering what the heck a mask was doing just sitting around, but I guess everyone has one...

[Oh my hand is kind of

wrapping around your shoulder]

[fallenambitions]

[And he's kinda reaching for that hand to stop her, and inching away slightly now. There was a still a bit of space in the booth, but he wouldn't be able to get out still. He glances warily at her, her hand off his shoulders but in his hands right now.]

You should be more careful. You don't want to do something you'll regret later.

[mikandelinquent]

Oh, don't worry. I can handle myself; regrets are the last thing I need.

[May I just rest my chin here on your arm? Yeah? Kay thanks.]

[fallenambitions]

...[Sure, she can rest her chin there. Make Alexei feel even more awkward about this.]

I don't deny that you can, but--can you take off that mask?

[mikandelinquent]

Now, why would I do that? I thought we were supposed to be in the spirit of things. [Not that the mask is the only reason she's touchy-feely. Poor Alexei, she is full of booze and happy feelings.]

[fallenambitions]

The spirit of what? [It's still only a few days from his b-day.]

...I'm sorry, but I'm not much for those kinds of gatherings.

[mikandelinquent]

Halloween?

You should loosen up a bit; it's a time for at least a few smiles, right?

[fallenambitions]

[He gives her a blank stare.]

Is that what all these masks are for? I apologize, but we don't have this kind of celebration called Halloween back home.

[mikandelinquent]

I guess so! I'm not really a big celebrator or anything, but Halloween is a time where people dress up in costumes-masks are close enough, right?

[fallenambitions]

That's all that it is? It sounds like a masquerade but more casual.

[mikandelinquent]

That sounds about right! You a fan of masquerades?

[fallenambitions]

I was, but the appeal of it goes away after going to a few of them. I only attend them when it is required of me.

[mikandelinquent]

Required of you? [C: what's this about being required?]
