A Night to Remember | All Members Invited

Another person approached.  It was his one of his Roman brothers, Ethan.  He was dressed nicely, Aimery ceded, although the lad found himself looking at the glass of coca cola in Ethan's hand.  Aimery knew that people loved that stuff, so he had included sodas as the refreshments, even if he wasn't a huge fan of it himself.  How mature, he thought, but then again he was eating a cookie.  And it was just food and drinks.  Hardly anything important.

"So far I am," he replied to Ethan's query about enjoying the night and turned his gaze back to Masin.

"Evening," Masin responded as Aimery greeted her. "I'm not sure if we know each other well. I'm Masin DeLisle, Magister for Zeus and running for chancellor," she gave her most charming smile and extended a hand to the Hades boy. "I must say the formal attire was an inspired idea. I understand that it was your idea?" she asked, giving him an impressed and appreciative look. Masin rather loved formal wear, and didn't mind an excuse to wear black.

Another boy approached, Ethan son of Pluto, and Masin turned to raise an eyebrow at the newcomer, offering him her hand as well. "Enjoying it well enough. How about you?" she asked, shaking hands with the fine looking son of Pluto. He was good looking, she couldn't deny that. Then again, so was Aimery. Everyone looked better in formal.

Fin chuckled at the 'girls on guy' action comment but winced as she mentioned the beating he gave her. "Aww, yes," he started before Mel mentioned that she didn't hear about it. "I try not to brag about my victories when I bust myself up in the process," he half joked. He really had banged up his knee pretty good. In fact, he was sure that the bruise was still there.

"I could accept that plan," he nodded as Mel suggest he bring another guy along for a little spar. That would work fairly well, actually. "I'll pick a mate and we can do it sometime this week," he said, now distracted by this plan and glancing about the guys in the room, trying to see if there was anyone he wanted to ask.

As annoying as it was, she was relieved that Bernard had stayed close by. It sort of gave her an out from continuing the serious conversation with Jason that was bound to come up later. The conversation about what this experience of his was that was oh-so-similar to hers... well, she was glad they didn't have to talk about it right now. Especially since she had asked that they forget about it, and he came back to her. "As you wish," was a strange thing to hear come out of a guys mouth while addressing her... but she had to admit, she kind of liked the loyalty.

Accalia nodded as he gestured to Bern, taking a step toward him along with Jason at her side. "Bernard, this is Jason. He's a friend of mine," she could only imagine the little sneaky thoughts running through Berns head right now. "Jason, Bernard works in the fields with me and is a bit like an annoying little brother," she said with a chuckle and a little glare at the male in question.

Tere, arched her brow as she noticed the wince out of the corner of her eye but then leaned in and whispered softly as she gave him a reassuring rub on the back with her free hand, "Don't worry, I've had far worse." She then pulled back and took a sip of her drink before glancing back to Mel. "Though, I think I could use a bit more practice with more than one opponent." She said with a light smirk.

"It's settled then." She said with a light laugh. "If you'll excuse me, I think I see my brothers. Fin, take care of Miss Sine for me for a while, will you?" Melanie winked at Tere before shooting a sly grin in Fin's direction. She couldn't help it. Fin was just too fun to mess with, even if she refused to do the dirty work herself.

Crossing the floor to where Aimery and Ethan stood, she nodded politely in their direction before addressing the Magister they were speaking to. "Good evening Magister DeLisle. I'm so happy you could make it." Moving to where she stood directly between Ethan and Aimery, she whispered in Ethan's direction "I was almost afraid the two of you weren't going to show up and that I'd be left alone with the guests." Sipping her champagne, she surveyed the filling room. Aimery had really out done himself.

Ashton showed up just as the party seemed to be getting in to full swing, having received his invitation late. A quick shower and a black suit later, he had jogged up to the foreboding house of Hade's children. They had style, he had to give them that. Someone might have told them that they didn't have to take the whole gothic theme so far though.

Spotting a familiar sight from across the room, Ashton made his way to where Teresia was standing with one of the Garrison officials. It was good he wasn't a jealous man, otherwise he might have been offended. Then again, they weren't a thing yet, right? "Good evening Tere. I wasn't sure you'd be here." He greeted, walking up behind her.

@tere @finley

Tere gave a nod to Mel as she headed off to talk to the others then smirked as she looked at Fin "Yeah, Fin... Take care of me..." She said with a teasing tone before taking a sip of her drink glancing about the room and then to her phone for a moment. She still hadn't heard from Ashton if he was planning to come. Then she slid the phone back into her dress against her breast, not caring if Fin saw where she put it.

A few moments later though, she heard the voice she had been hoping for and turned to see Ashton. She smiled brightly, her eyes gleaming as she took a sip of her drink "I could say the same thing, I'm glad you came though. And my, you do pull off a suit well." She said, reaching her free hand out to run along his torso under the guise of feeling the fabric. Then she looked to Fin again and smiled "Have you two met, or do I need to make introductions?" She asked, taking another sip of her drink.

"I don't believe we have." Ashton said evenly, placing one arm around Tere's waist before extending his free hand towards the person in front of her. "Ashton Drake. Son of Demeter." Now that he could fully see Tere, he mentally chastized himself for not complimenting her appearance sooner. He was not off to a good start tonight. "You look stunning by the way. Remind me to find more opportunities for you to wear that dress." His eyes were bright and happy as he chuckled, almost forgetting that they had company, or that they were in someone's home for that matter.


@tere @finley

Tere smiled a Cheshire Cat grin as he placed his arm around her. She found herself wondering if he knew he was staking his claim in that move or if he was just being nice. Still, that didn't stop her from turning just slightly into his embrace and actually blushing slightly as he complemented her. Though that sinful smile resurfaced as he continued to speak.

She set her glass down and pressed her hand to his chest over his heart and leaned in to whisper so only he could hear. "I look forward to the occasions you find to get me out of it." Then she pulled back and said in a tone meant for public "Oh, any party would do, but I have a closet filled with all kinds of dresses, I have one for every day of the week for the next year, practically" She said with a smile to both men with her.

Ethan lifted his glass when both Aimery and Masin claimed the night was going well so far. Soon after that, his sister Mel was coming upon them, looking as incredible as ever. Ethan slung an arm over her shoulders, "doesn't the kid clean up nicely, Magister?" he asked, pulling Mel closer to him for a tight hug. Ever since the day he had met her he had been treating her like a little sister by tormenting her to no end and becoming incredibly protective over her. She was wary at first, but he was pretty sure he had broken that by now!

"Hey, I'm always fashionably late. I wouldn't abandon you like that," he promised Mel at her worry about her brothers not showing up. In fact, they were missing one more, but he probably wasn't going to come down unless forced.


@accaila, @aimery, @masin

Mac had taken her sweet time getting ready. She had to get Accalia all ready first in time for Bernard and Aimery to come and kidnap them. Now, she was ready to take this formal party by storm... the club was much more her style, but she could be formal when she wanted to be, right?

She walked in, catching sight of Accalia and some hunk talking to Aimery. Dang that boy of Accalias was fine. She wasn't sure where to start just yet, so she wandered over to the drink table and picked up a glass of grape something or other. She wasn't sure what it was, actually, but she didn't really care!

At some point you have to stop ignoring the noise and your sister's nagging texts and just get your ass off the couch. This was Zane's moment. He shrugged into a light blue-gray shirt and black suit. His tie had little strps on it and, although it wasn't his nicest suit, he knew he was at least presentable. Entering the main House, he leaned against a wall in the corner, not really sure who to talk to.

Dani stared up at the large house... how long had she lived on this island? Too long it seemed some days. Dani, for the most part had kept to herself, not wanting to interfere with the demis to much. Granted, she was technically one herself because of the blessings of Artemis, but she still didn't see herself that way. She was a huntress for the goddess of the hunt, nothing more. She was not born of a god, she was born of nature loving hippies that wanted nothing more out of life then to have a happy family. So when the huntress came home to see she had received an invitation to the party, she was beyond shocked.

Now, she wondered if she should really go in. She knew no one... biting down on her lower lip so took a step closer and then looked to the heavens. "Artemis Help Me..." she whispered, not a real request she knew, but just a prayer said in a moment of fear.

Eventually though, she did make her way inside and once inside she froze. Like a deer in the headlights of an oncoming car. With a hard swallow, her icy eyes looked around the room. So many demi-gods. She hadn't seen this many people since the battle at Jupiter. Again Dani found herself biting her lower lip and looking down at herself, wondering if she should stay or make a run for it. The latter option was starting to sound more and more enticing.

Fin shook his head and chuckled as Mel gave him a charge to take care of Tere and walked away. However, it didn't seem like he would need to for much longer. Another guy showed up, one Tere seemed to be pretty comfortable with. Finley smiled at him when Ashton introduced himself. "Ashton, nice to meet you," he was genuine as he shook the other mans hand. "I'm Finley or Col. Rockefeller. Whichever you prefer," he said smoothly before turning his eyes to Teres comment about her wardrobe... and letting this guy take it off. "You two know each other well, then?" Fin guessed.
