[This is an apology, and thanks of sorts to those that helped her when she was in such a horrid state of mind, so sometime during the week invites are sent out, and they are sent to city wide to everyone in perfect gold and black ink:]

Queen of England, Ireland & France, defender of the faith, etc
cordially invites you to

[Raven isn't at all certain how she feels at the moment, standing near the garden door with her hair up in a dress she'd spent half of her remaining money on and a mask that makes her nose itch.

She hopes someone she knows will actually be at the party.]

[chasesstars]

You look pretty nervous too. [ Jane slips up beside Raven, constantly messing with the dress she's wearing. They can be awkward together. ]

[softenedbyme]

[OH someone talking to her. Uh.]

It's just been a while since I've been to a party.

[chasesstars]

Hopefully it hasn't been as long for you as it is for me.

[softenedbyme]

I'll be polite and say it probably hasn't, in a very non-sarcastic manner.

[chasesstars]

Thanks. [ Jane laughs a bit, then holds her hand up. ] I'm Jane.

[softenedbyme]

My name is-

[...Does she dare admit she's Raven? She covers the pause with a cough. If it goes badly, she can run. Right?]

Raven. I'm Raven.

[chasesstars]

[ Whatever Raven was expecting, that's probably not what she's gonna get. After all, a ton of people are called Raven. Besides that, Raven looking odd wouldn't bug her. They're on an alien planet! ]

It's nice to meet you.

[softenedbyme]

[Oh, good. Just pretend this is a first meeting, Raven. Not too hard.]

It's nice to meet you too, Jane.

[chasesstars]

[ Jane sighs and fiddles with the jewelry. Gosh, this is so nerve wracking. She hasn't even thought about what if Thor shows up and sees her like this. ]

Did you come with anyone?

[softenedbyme]

[Oh, uh...]

Not really? Some of my friends are here.

[chasesstars]

Good. I don't think I'd ever come here by myself.

[softenedbyme]

Parties alone are rarely fun.

[chasesstars]

I'm not even sure it'd be a party then.

[softenedbyme]

I think it all depends on your attitude.

[chasesstars]

Or what you consider a party to be.
