[Rose came with the Doctor (the one with the hair) but she's doing some mingling as well. She's wearing this gown and yes those are gold trainers peeking out from beneath the hem as she walks. She's here with the Doctor. In fact, there are two of them here somewhere. The chances that she's going to end up running at some point during the night are very, very high. She's got a glass of champagne in hand. Please run into her at the bar, ballroom or even the powder room.]

[am_i_being_rude]

[He's wandered over with a handful of snacks he's found already.]

Tony Stark seems to know how to put a good party together when he's of a mind.

[iam_thebadwolf]

[His return gets a big grin. It always does. She nods and gives the place a glance before looking back at the Doctor.]

Not bad. D'you see the snow in the ballroom?

[am_i_being_rude]

[He glances towards where he thinks the ballroom is out of instinct.] I'm not sure I have, actually. Not something you see everyday - bet that'll make dancing in the ballroom a bit of a trick.

[greding]

[Those spectacular fireworks you happened to see? None other than the work of Fred and George Weasley. George is milking the networking opportunity as much as he can, mingling with the crowds and handing out cards. That's not going to prevent him having a good time, though. There will definitely be some drinking and dancing. He's in a excellently tailored suit, but still with a Weasley flare..]

[iam_thebadwolf]

George, yeah? [She steps up next to him, hands behind her back.] Enjoyin' yourself?

[greding]

Rose.

[He's good with names, him.]

More'n enjoying myself, yeah. Brilliant party, this. You?

[iam_thebadwolf]

Yeah. S'nice to put on a fancy dress and go dancin' sometimes. The champagne's fantastic too.

[zombiefree]

[Holy crowds, Batman. Wichita's gotten used to the whole 'these people aren't sick, so there's no need to feel anxious when you're surrounded by them' thing, but right now it seems to be hitting her harder than usual. Her game face is pretty solid though, and it's easy to look comfortable at a party when you're rocking an incredible dress, but underneath it all she's a bundle of nerves, nursing her drink like she actually needs the liquid courage.

Get a grip, Wichita. Or... get another drink.

Mhm, yes, that mental scolding is all she needs to get her to turn back to the bar, thunking her empty glass back on the counter.]

I'll have another, please. The same. --Make it dirty.

[likeboudica]

[ Tessa can't help overhear that last bit, and curiosity - as always - wins out. ] What is a dirty drink?

[zombiefree]

Hm? [Wichita looks where the question came from, just making sure it was actually addressed to her.] Oh, it just means add some extra alcohol. Well, a lot of extra alcohol, if they can manage it, without it tasting terrible.

[likeboudica]

Oh. I thought those drinks were usually already quite alcoholic.

[mghtbconcussed]

[Lucy can be found wearing this either in the ballroom or the bar area. She came here to dance and drink, okay. She's got her hair down, all curly and bouncy and Lucy. Oh, if you see Neil in a suit, she's responsible for that. You're welcome. Feel free to run into her in either place.]

[totallyinaband]

[Of course he has to come over and say hi. He joins her at the bar.]

Hey.

[mghtbconcussed]

[Lucy bumps his shoulder with hers.] Hey. How's it going?

[totallyinaband]

[He orders a beer off the bartender.]

Not bad. The gig didn't suck.

[likeboudica]

[ Tessa has been looking forward to this event: It's her first ball, and while she realises that many things are going to be very different from a ball in her own time, it is still a ball. She's bought a new dress only for this, a little flashier and more modern than she is used to, but still close enough to her usual attire to make her feel comfortable wearing it.

She's arrived together with Tim, but she'll be walking around throughout the evening, admiring dresses (and not blushing at the shorter or more revealing ones, no) and the splendour of the location. ]

[dillonrockstar]

[Tim is going to sort of hover near Tessa for a while. He's feeling very out of his element dressed in this. He started out with his hair slicked back but it's quickly becoming more Tim looking because of his habit of reaching up and running his fingers through it. He'll feel better once he gets a beer. He puts his hand on the small of Tessa's back.]

Let's got check out the bar first.

[likeboudica]

Of course. [ She smiles up at him, rather more comfortable in her clothes than he is in his. Though he does look very handsome, in her view. ]

Thank you for coming here with me. [ And for dressing up. ]

[dillonrockstar]

You're welcome. Figure, m'doin' all right. I got to come to party with a hot chick.

[He winks at her and guides her through the crowd to the bar.]

You wanna dance after we get somethin' to drink?

[He's not entirely sure he knows how to dance 100% sober...not that he's a hundred percent sober. He had a couple of beers while getting ready. It was pre-gaming.]
