Oscar got a little lost in the sea of masked figures; being surrounded by unrecognizable faces was rather disorientating. Yet he was not so easily hidden, as a familiar voice would address him from behind. Oscar twirled around and was met by two figures. He did not immediately recognize either of them, but he knew whichever addressed him had to be . He was the only person alive that would refer to Oscar as sir--even though Jayden was a higher rank then Oscar.

The one with the chandelure mask would reveal themselves to be Jayden, as his unmistakable voice would ask Oscar how the night was going. Oscar slumped his shoulders a bit, scratching the back of his head with a groan. "Aw fuck--how'd you know it was me?" Oscar paused as his fingers latched onto his iconic white hair that he made no effort to hide. "Oh." Oscar chuckled bashfully and straightened up, resting his hands upon his hips.

"Tonight blows so far, but then again I just got here. What's something fun we could do?"

WINTER MASQUERADE

[attr="class","calebtest3body"]


Of course would try and steal Caleb's date.[break][break]
Because it was Zev, after all, standing in front of them, smirking as wide and creepily as that damned Gengar he kept around.[break][break]
Caleb rolled his eyes, stepping slightly in front of @rosie instinctively, as if to shield her from Zev's influence. Rosie would, of course, know Zev, if Caleb were to "unmask" him - the three of them worked together in Kanto Rocket years ago. A part of him didn't want Zev to know his "date" was actually their old friend and colleague, however. He'd rather let his brother think he'd wooed someone new and mysterious, someone Zev didn't know - was it because of his pride? Zev knew he'd always had terrible luck with love. Well, maybe it was just another way he could convince his brother that the new Caleb - the Hoenn Caleb - was different.[break][break]
"Actually, she'll be dancing with me first," Caleb informed Zev, tone firm. "A bit shameful, wouldn't you say? Attempting to steal the dates of others because you couldn't find your own?" Now it was Caleb's turn to smirk. It's not like he'd expected Zev of all people to have a date. For all there was to say about Caleb's dismal love life, Zev himself had never been able to maintain a relationship for more than a few months.[break][break]
In some respects, the brothers were eerily similar...

NOTES


- Caleb’s Suit[break]
- Caleb's mask[break]
- Caleb brought Umi the Umbreon with him, to match @rosie's Sylveon[break]
- Attempting to block from stealing his date. Rude![break]
- Teases Zev back about not having a date. Who'd date him anyway...?

[attr="class","samjermain"]When Memo first came to Hoenn he was determined to turn over a new leaf and recover some of the joy and vivacity that once had been his, long before his transient times. But these shreds of happiness were so far distant he was forgetting what they looked like.

The region had changed him, definitely, and not always for the better. One of the things it had done, though, was shifted his outlook on things-- so now he wasn’t so consumed on reaching back for the tails of things bygone, of old happiness. Now he was pivoted, rearranged, focused on making new happiness.

Case in point.

“It’s so heavy!” he said, grin as bright as the line of headlights behind him as his little entourage of Pokemon helped fluff out and shift the long train of his cloak behind him before ducking back into their respective Pokeballs. Only Shivani remained, peeking out from under the train where she was helping to shift it, smiling.

He was positively giddy, like a kid at christmas. “Ahhhhh, I love it. I love it I love it I love it.”

It was soft. It was warm. And it was so extra.

He did feel bad for the poor footman who would have to take his cloak at such time as he decided to shed it. Memo had prepared a large tip in advance.

“Ready, freddy?” he asked, reaching out to take Alex’s hands from within the massive expanse of his cloak.

tl;dr
i come RUNNING because deadlines
we've really done it now - mask
shivani is wearing a smol version of his mask

Sure, they could have dressed as something that wasn’t so obvious but let’s be serious . . . a petite, enthusiastic blonde with a tall, moody, pink-hair man? It didn’t take a genius to guess their real identities. They may as well embrace it and how up as something cute. Like two of Hoenn’s finest legendaries.

“Yeah, it looks amazing!” Eva did have a little sneak peek when she escorted some of the donating items of display. Of course, it wasn’t complete at the time but she got the gist of the décor.

[break][break]

Her emerald gaze pierces through the holes of her RAYQUAZA mask to scan the crowd and all the wonderful masks, “Everyone looks amazing too,” she leans towards him with a grin, “Especially you,” he might catch the wink behind the mask if he’s paying attention.

Once setting up the instruments and everything was done, they were allowed to do whatever. As long as they didn't drink...per his sister's orders. Niky pouted at that, but also understood. He had a no drinking rule for his DJ work. Have to be professional, and getting hammered on the job usually didn't end well. So he decided to go exploring, hobbling along on his cane. A lot of folks seemed excited about the exhibits. While he wouldn't mind a walkthrough, he was hardly too interested in museums and the like. Though he did try to support them whenever possible...which wasn't often.

He did find someone completely out of their depth though. Even Niky could tell that this guy was not used to something like this just based on his body language. Poor guy...maybe he needs some company. Walking up to the fellow blonde heading towards the refreshment table, he had to speak up to the man ( ). "Slow down there, tiger, the drinks aren't going anywhere." Blue-green eyes scanned the guy head to toe. Suit was nice enough, definitely more towards his league. It was a little tight around the shoulders and stomach, but oh well...guy wasn't pudgy by any means, just maybe hadn't gotten an updated suit in a while. "Care to join me to the refreshments? Sadly, I'm not allowed to drink till after our performance is done..." He did slightly pout at that, but did hope that maybe this guy was a gentleman and let him hang on the arm instead of hobbling about on his cane.

TLDR
Finished setting up, relax before music time.

After texting back and forth with , Josh put his phone away. He wasn't there just to do his job. As long as he kept his eyes out for one of his Gym Trainers, who each came wearing masks of their favorite Gym Pokémon of his, he would know when he had a job to do. For now, though, why not mingle? He kept his eyes out for people who wore costumes much like his, more Halloween-like than holiday-like. It seemed the vast majority of guests were simply in formal wear but had a variety of cool masks. Certainly a lot more creative than a knight's helmet. His plastic, lightning-bolt sword in hand, Josh guided "Raikou" around the hall, keeping his eye out for particularly elaborate costumes that tickled his fancy.

It didn't take long to find not one, but two, right next to each other. One dressed as the Emerald Sky Serpent, Rayquaza, and the other wearing a mask in the likeness of the Titan of the Land, Groudon. In particular, that of the dragon-type's image appeared to be quite elaborate. Ultimately it was the Rayquaza costume that caught Josh's eye. "Come on, Raikou, let's see what they're up to." While the Johto "legendary" was no more than a Manectric masked and painted to look like Raikou, it would still take a modicum of inspection to tell the difference. "Evening, you two! Your costumes are great!" he waved toward the masked and as the Manectric imitating Raikou sniffed toward them from beneath his mask. His own voice may have been muffled by the knight's helmet he spoke from beneath.


{WC: 276}

NAME           SPECIES         STATUS
Saber          Manectric       Good


tl;dr:
- Josh wanders the hall for a bit astride "Raikou". His Manectric's fur is painted in Raikou's colors, and is wearing a corresponding mask, tail dongle, and thundercloud saddle in the Beast's likeness.
- Though his voice is muffled from beneath the helmet, it is still recognizable as he approaches and greets and .
- Costume: Manectric> Painted like Raikou, wearing a mask, tail dongle, and saddle in the likeness of Raikou's face, tail, and thundercloud. Josh> Dressed in his Halloween costume resembling his vision of what the Hero of Johto/Raikou's Avatar would look like. Very Medieval knight-like.

The bright taste of champagne on Gideon's tongue was dull and diluted in comparison to the way lit up the space around them with her tact and wit. Even while facing his brother, he listened with reserved interest as she responded to each person in turn, a thin smile evident behind the rim of his glass as he nursed his drink.

"That it does. It's a nice turnout so far." Gideon's umber gaze swept over the large foyer and found it to be full almost to capacity. The crowd seemed to be practically begging to be released and experience the rest of what the museum had to offer.

"Let's hope everyone is on their best behavior," His eyes cut to . "And that the museum is still in a state to admire by the end of the night." Even in their thirties Gideon couldn't help the impulse to make sure his little brother stayed out of trouble.

With that reminder in his ear Gunner departed, leaving Gideon to face 's mocking smile with a restrained one of his own. The interjection from , however, spurred him on in his response.

"Then feel free to trust in me for the evening," He'd incline his head in assent, catching Elisa's gaze through the holes of his mask. "As I'll gladly take your first dance."

Gideon would wait for her response, but then he'd feel his attention tugged at by someone at the periphery of his vision. An ordinary-looking man whose obvious nerves made him stick out in the throngs of eccentric millionaires and celebrities. Ordinary yet familiar Hm. Could it be?

With a slight bow, the professor excused himself from the group, saying to Elisa in particular, "Until we meet on the dance floor."

Scanning the room while walking to where he last saw who he thought might be , Gideon lost the man in the crowd for a moment. His brows knitted slightly as he continued his search until he finally found, huddled near an empty bar top, someone whose body type and physical demeanor reminded him a lot of his drinking buddy. Beside him was the musical talent for the night, .

Gideon slid himself into the space beside , so that John was sandwiched in between him and Niky.

"They've got quite a few interesting cocktails on the menu tonight, if either of you are interested." His eyes flashed to the DJ briefly, but inevitably landed and remained on the office worker between them.

"One of my favorites is the Sazerac. If you enjoy cognac, I highly recommend it. Some say it's the world's oldest cocktail, so it's worth a try just to taste a bit of history."

Gideon explained through a thin-lipped smile, his tone pleasant and conversational.

Conversation ebbed and flowed like the tide as departed. returned her Kalosian greeting and soon flitted away like the very butterfly that hovered by Elisabeth's side, while @girard and seemed moments from pairing off elsewhere, themselves.[break][break]

And then there were two, Elisabeth thought, eyes sparkling with mischief as she regarded with a raised eyebrow. "As I recall, what I asked for was your first dance. Not necessarily mine," she corrected, a teasing grin answering his. "In the spirit of the season, however, I'll be generous. First dance it is." [break][break]

Following the easy agreeance came the whisper of a playful threat in his ear: "So long as you don't keep me waiting long."[break][break]

The crowd thinned out as the masked man and his Vivillon departed towards , leaving a pleasant lull amidst so much bustle and activity. At last able to be alone, for a moment, she wandered the premises and glanced over those gathered with idle curiosity, watching glittering sequins and suits pass by in an aimless procession.[break][break]

It was then she caught sight of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye, and her gaze narrowed. The tall man disappeared with some slip of a waif on his arm into the empty ballroom, gone in mere minutes -- but that was enough to recognize him for who he was.[break][break]

.[break][break]

His unanticipated presence was a ripple of discontent disturbing the smoothness of her evening; the fleeting glower it cast over her whispered at the unseen leviathan of her resentment, its shadow lurking beneath the surface of her delicate mask.[break][break]

An old grudge stirred faintly from its dormant slumber, roused but not fully wakened.[break][break]

Not yet.

If one is to arrive late, they'd best be arriving in style.[break][break]

Luka isn't trying to make a grand entrance, but her arrival at the masquerade manages to turn a few heads regardless. As it should! For she'd truly pulled out all the stops tonight (and it doesn't hurt that her bodice is cut dangerously low).[break][break]

Icy blue tones and gleaming gold cascade down her body in a stylistic reference to Aurorus. The jewels at her throat and adorning her dress gleam under the light, and shimmering layers of organza trail behind her in large, undulating ruffles. Her hair is set with tiny pearls that almost resemble snowflakes, completing the look of a true ice queen.[break][break]

It's a gorgeous gown, a gorgeous venue...all the ingredients to create a simply magical evening! And yet—[break][break]

Honestly she'd rather be in bed, curled up with a drink and her new favorite manga. If only she could spend the whole season hibernating like an Ursaring...[break][break]

But she's here now. And she'd really better get into the spirit of things! There must be something wrong with her— normally she loves events like this. It's the elephant in the room, she reasons, that keeps her from fully enjoying herself.[break][break]

Her eyes scan the crowd, searching for someone she both wants to see and fears to be noticed by. It's silly, but this time of year always has her feeling particularity sentimental. And if things hadn't gone so terribly wrong, they'd be coming up on their first anniversary...[break][break]

The mask, at least, helps to alleviate some of her anxiety. If is here, perhaps he'll simply stride on by without noticing her.[break][break]

She reaches back to tighten the ribbon holding her mask in place, ice-blue fingertips brushing against gold filigree. Certain now that it's secure, Luka strides further into the foyer with the steady click of heels against marble accompanying her.[break][break]

It truly is a breathtaking affair. But the marvelous décor is overshadowed by even lovelier guests; a garden of colorful gowns and finely tailored suits. The masks draw attention to the most sensual features on every human face: their eyes and their lips, and Luka finds herself flushing as she slips through the sea of attendees, flitting daintily about like a snowflake on a breeze.[break][break]

Given her work with promotion and outreach, she knows there are several high-profile figures here tonight. A glance around can help her distinguish some— and his lovely date stand out in particular. But maybe that's just because she'd seen his suit beforehand. Others aren't as easy to single out from the crowd, but that doesn't really matter anyways.[break][break]

For now, at least, Luka is simply content to be a pretty, silent wallflower.[break][break]

Like one of the myriad of ice sculptures that adorn the room she stands still at the edge of the room, glittering in her ice-dripped gown. She wishes for a glass of champagne or some way to occupy her hands that isn't just smoothing her dress for the hundredth time. But for now at least she simply becomes a pair of eyes, watching the guests and trying to soak up their secondhand cheer.

Tonight was… admittedly not his night, because djinni be damned he had a terrible fashion sense (whereas with his drag persona she knew everything there was at least, what an interesting contrast wouldn’t you think) and was mostly here tonight because the boyfriend wanted to be as extra as humanly possible (and moral support, you see).

And extra he was, indeed.

Because all things considered, his boyfriends #2 love was clothes.

(Which probably explained why his room was so plain, because everything else that gave him life was stuffed inside the closet!)

“Have you considered, at least for a few minutes,” he hissed as he leaned in, trying to not get his eyeballs burned because of all the lights and the cameras popping off pictures of every single person who’d walked down the carpet to arrive at the party proper, “…that what you’re wearing is incredibly bulky? And heavy? I love you, Frog, but goodness me I’m trying to be a bit practical here!”

There was another costume idea that he’d vetoed—out of practicality reasons, see.

(Plus the other reason was that if he wore it, and if anyone knew his penchant for avians well he’d be as good as unmasked right even before the party even got started! That wasn’t going to be any fun at all you know?)

The good thing is, before he’d gone to Plan B (which was basically go to the party in drag) his boyfriend had asked (more like begged) if they could wear matching outfits.

Hilariously, though, all of his drag wear wasn’t on the bright, eyeball-searing side of things. (Gee, wonder why?!)

They reached a compromise, and therefore he agreed to wear something matching.

Little white and gold number too, but the thing that made it ostentatious (well, as ostentatious as his non-drag mind would take) is that there were quite a number of semi-precious stones sewn into the little extra ‘thing’ that made it sparkle and glitter.

Carina, his equally-tiny Ribombee was riding on his shoulder in an even tinier masque and wearing an equally-minuscle scarf studded with teeny-tiny stones that also sparkled and gave her position away.

“C’mon, let’s go. Can’t wait to see what you’re wearing underneath that number.”

And for a few moments he flashed the other that certain maniacal grin.



• tonight is Frog’s night to shine
• Bird is here for the support
outfit, only it’s in white and gold so they fugging MATCH & mask

As soon as the woman on Caleb's arm spoke, all of Zev's conjectures about who she might be vanished, replaced with a single and irrefutable conclusion: @rosie. How amusing.[break][break]

The elder Harcourt's grin only widened. Blue eyes glanced sidelong at his brother. "Steal? On the contrary, I think the young lady here would be happy to dance with a very old, very good friend."[break][break]

Zev turned halfway, as if making ready to leave.[break][break]

"But you're right," he said to Rosie. "It wouldn't do to leave your date alone all evening. In a place like this, it's not so easy to tell friend from foe."[break][break]

His smile turning mysterious, he disappeared back into the crowd with his drink and an incline of his head. Blue eyes swept the foyer again, taking note of the latest arrivals and the flow of guests from group to group.[break][break]

Alone by herself and her Beautifly, the woman in the golden butterfly mask and stunning champagne-colored dress drew Zev's gaze. If had been trying to hide her identity, she had failed miserably; there was no mistaking the florist of Petalburg Woods.[break][break]

"Did your friends really leave you all by yourself?" Zev asked as he sidled up next to the blonde woman. He flashed her a charming smile. "I suppose I should thank them for the opportunity to say hello. Are you enjoying the masquerade so far?"

Hazel was actually looking forward to the masquerade, it was actually rather cute. Of course, the other man didn't let on to such a fact. His husband kept such things close to the chest, but Hugo had long since learned to approximately read him by then. They arrived a little later than Hazel probably liked, being that he was usually so prompt. Fashionably late, Hugo insisted. Even being the partier himself, a stuffy ball was not his idea of fun, admittedly. But there was also something gaudy and enjoyable about masquerades. They were tacky, in a good sort of way.

At the very least, it would do well for him to at least attempt to appear posh and maybe get some additional contacts in the mean time. Very likely there would be at least someone he recognized. Despite his somewhat obnoxious nature earlier in his years, he had somewhat subsided from any foreseeable spotlights. Why? He wasn't exactly certain. He liked to say it was because he'd found what made him happy, which was the easiest and most obvious responses. Yet, unfortunately, his husband could see through him too.

For reasons well beyond his understanding, he felt tired. Maybe it was simply due to the fact he'd been a chaser of the limelight and was tired now of running. Maybe he was old, hell if he knew.

"Meeting with anyone of interest?" Certainly there had to be a reason that his introverted husband wished to go to this gaudy affair. Though he doubted the younger man would say it was because he wanted to have fun, which was a shame. "Did I tell you you look handsome, by the way?" He did, several times now.

[attr="class","star2"]Hazel didn’t understand the concept of fashionably late. That said, he couldn’t turn back the clock in order to make them more on time. He wasn’t too fussed about it, however. Not as he might have been if this were an actual meeting or appointment. No, his driving force tonight was simple excitement.[break][break]

It pleased him that Hugo conceded to attending. Normally, Hazel was the one who needed a bit more convincing to attend formal events when he’d rather be holed up in his study, reading. When the invitation arrived by delibird, however, the whole affair had seemed fun, likely because of the location. Or so Hazel had claimed. Dressing up had been an ordeal in and of itself– but in the end, something posh and maybe a bit frilly had been selected, along with a simple back mask overlaid with gold scrollwork.[break][break]

Not that he thought it would do much to disguise him– not with his distinctive hair color, which was down in loose waves, save for a knotted twist in the back to keep strands out of his face.[break][break]

“I think there might be a few connections present tonight,” he replied with a small hum of consideration. “But it is a masquerade, after all, so who’s to say?” If anything, it might be nice to touch base with , considering his occasional collaboration with the curator. And really– “I’d like to see the meteno exhibit.”[break][break]

He spoke casually as he mentioned the additional suggestion, brusque in a way that made it obvious that he was trying to sound casual. Something that Hugo would likely pick up on as a betrayal of why Hazel wanted to attend a party. Not for socialization, but for the potential of studying something new and fascinating. Typical, no? Figuring he would be caught, he shot his husband a guilty little smile. It would be up to Hugo, though, if he chose to humor him further.[break][break]

Leaning his head against Hugo’s shoulder briefly, arms still twined together, he laughed. “Maybe once or twice.” Though he didn’t tire of hearing it, of course. “And I will respond by saying that I pale in comparison to you, dear.”
