Near the Stage

[Prince]

Stand infront of the band and watch them play, or dance to the music. I wouldn't suggest conversation, you can't say much with this loud of music playing.

[Skittery]

Skittery wasn't one for all the holiday frivolity but then again he didn't like to miss big things so he made an appearance. He was wearing a ratty old suit with tails, cuffs, and even a dented top hat which really made him look like more of a beggar than anything - but hey it wasn't his normal clothes so it worked. He leaned up against the wall near the stage listening to the band absent mindedly tapping his foot along with the beat.

[fox]

Fox entered the ballroom. She was dressed as a fairy. Wearing a beautiful blue dress and amazing wings. It was all she could think off. Her long hair fell around her face, and she looked around the room, moving out of the doorway and standing by the wall. She smiled softly. She didn't have anyone to enjoy the night with but last minute decided to go anyway. She really didn't want to interrupt anyone though. Her vibrant green eyes scanned the dance floor. She sat a boy standing by himself but didn't know if maybe he wanted to be alone, so she moved towards him and stood a little ways off to give him room, she gave him a soft smile.

[Skittery]

Skittery noticed Fox when came near - he had never seen her before so he know she was most likely from a different borough. She looked gorgeous, maybe it was the costume and being all fancy like but he took notice of her quiet smile. He started to talk but stopped quickly, figuring if he couldn't hear himself over the music neither could she. So he smiled quickly and tipped his top hat to say 'hello'.

[fox]

She noticed him start to talk then tip his hat. She smiled and nodded then decided it was okay to move closer, so she moved to stand next to him. She curtsied lightly in greeting, deciding it was a nice to say hi, plus it went with the whole ball theme.

[Skittery]

SKittery laughed a little at her curtsey finding it rather charming. "Looks like yer enjoyin' yerself" He said leaning towards he a bit to make sure she could hear him over the band. "Name's Skittery." He took off his hat and fiddled with the brim, in all truth he felt a bit rediculous in the suit.

[fox]

She smiled, hearing his laugh barely over the music. She shrugged. "I guess you could say that." In all honesty it had been pretty uneventful so far. He introduced himself. "It's nice to meet you Skittery, I'm Fox." She held out her hand to shake his. She thought he looked great in his suit.

[Skittery]

"Ya got some nice wings there.." He took her hand and gave it a stiff shake before leaning back on the wall. Without much thought to it, he started pushing on the dented in part of the hat, trying to fix it. The void of conversation finally got the best of his and he turned to her resting his head on the wall now too. "Ya know, this really ain't my type of thing...costumes, dancin', parties" He admitted.

[fox]

She smiled and shook his hand then looked back at her wings. "Thanks." She felt a bit awkwards at the silence and was glad when he started to talk again. "We could go outside it you want to." She suggested, it was too loud in here to concentrate.

[Skittery]

Skittery rose an eyebrow and nodded. "Sure. I'll follow ya wherevah" After saying it he shook his head knowing it sounded a little odd or even creepy. "Sorry, " He started again, "damn music ain't lettin' me think straight!" Right as he finished the sentence the music stopped, making his voice the central noise of the room. He drug a hand across his face and let out a groan, "lets jus' move - anywhere.."

[fox]

Fox smiled and started to lead him outside when the music stopped, she heard his voice louder and turned to look at him. She quicky grinned and grabbed his hand leading him out to the back alley.
