-Tobias Birthday Ball-

[Lunar]

[glow=purple,2,300]-Lunar walks in, her hair twisted in an elegant knot which sits lightly on her head...her hair was a brilliant light/white blonde now and she wore a light blue dress that wasn't as fancy as she normally dressed, the bottom slanted up from the calf and bunched up until the thigh on the opposite leg...she looked around and saw wuite a few people she knew, Celine, sitting with someone from the stables, Charles sitting with a young woman she couldn't place, Isis sitting in a green dress, and her nephew Blaze with a very beautiful young lady...she walked towards Isis and sat lightly on the edge of the chair..waiting for everyone to arrive...-[/glow]

-Lyra, a 15 1/2 year old rider sits next to Blaze chatting idly with him..She had brilliant reddish hair and deep emerld eyes and wore a green satiny dress that set off both her hair and her eyes...It clung tightly to her midsection and flared out only slightly into slightly tight skirts...Her hair was shoulder length and styled to flip up at the ends...She looked around at the others her eyes looking for someone she might know...
Of course none of them would be here....None of them are high-class enough... she sighed inwardly, for once wishing she was of different heritage...-

[glow=purple,2,300]-Amtul/Angel and Keahi sit in the entrance as dogs staring at Lunar and Isis...Angel wasn't there for Lunar though..She needed to talk to the young one who wished to enter the pack..And the older one who wouldn't return..Her job was to warn them both..And Celine...The pretty elf in the deep bloo dress had asked her to move the magick to Ghost...-[/glow]

[glow=green,2,300]-Sapphyre waits outside the door...looking for Crystal...he peeks in once for a second and then returns to waiting, his hair was deep black and his eyes the darkest of bloo..He wore a white suit, suprisingly enough, and looked quite comfortable...He was a dark tan and looked much younger than he was, only of 18 years or so...He glanced at Angel breifly, but didn't recognize her aurora as it had changed since she'd attacked his homelands...He leaned against the wall waving to people and smiling if they looked important...waiting a bit impatiently for Crystal..Or someone else he knew...-[/glow]

[GoldenWind]

[glow=silver,2,300]*Ella walked through the halls of the castle following Ebon closely but still at the same time not so closely. She was glad for the silence but as thoughts ran through her mind as she accounted the words that blurted out of her mouth a short while ago. and he laughed! but if it was a friendly laugh or a 'o my god that is stubid' laugh she wasn't so sure. She hoped it was the first one at least. But then! he hadn't said anything after! What if she embarressed him? was he mad at her? would he ever talk to her again?! What if he didn't want to be her friend anymore? she would loose the only friend she had ever had in lifetime. and then life would be horrible! She would have noone to talk to and then people might have thought she had turned mute since she wasn't talking and then they leave her alone all together! well probably not but in her mind she was going into hysterics. Why did she say those words before?! Why! why! WHY!!!!. she shook her head trying to calm herself down and it worked slightly. Not realizing that since her thinking her pace had sped up and she now stood at the doorway to the ballroom.She then finally decided to break the silence* "Soo...this is it then i suppose?" *she said quietly rather then her loud self*[/glow]

[Wonder]

[Woo. Finally ready to post. For all who give a whoot, we're continuing Ebony [elf name Ebon -shrug-] and GW [Ella] from the Garden...]

[glow=lightsteelblue,2,300]'Yew suppose correct. Don't be nervous. It'll be fine...' -Ebon[y] smiled warmly at Ella, not aware of her current thoughts on the words she'd said b4. He'd even forgotten about it already. Truth was, he was starting to really like her. With a small grin he open the ballroom doors and stepped aside, letting his 'date' in and following closely behind. Dressed in a full solid-black tux, his black hair was combed bak and he looked like quite the gentleman to any who didn't kno his true nature. His watery-bloo eyes did a quick sweep of the area, noting his aunt Lunar and his mother. A thought suddenly occurred to him and he wondered if his parents had met 'GW.' His dad had bak at the pack lands, but Isis he wasn’t sure. With a smile, he turned to Ella...- 'Hey. Come on. I want yew to meet my mom and aunt...' -He pointed toward their table and started their way...-[/glow]

[glow=brown,2,300]~Sage walked out of the ladies' room with a small forest-green purse at hand. It matched her dark, almost black, green dress. A fancy and costly-looking long evening gown at that. Her muddy-brown hair, usually worn loose below her shoulders, was magically twirled and twisted like a crown upon her head, making her honey gold eyes stand out. Stopping by the buffet to get a quick drink, the young lady [err. 1 year and 4 months in wolf terms, 18-19 years in elf. Yup -developed a way to convert. Obsessive-] joined her mother and family at the ‘important ppl’ table. She giggled at her cousin Ebony and the fact he'd gotten a coot date, and her mind wandered to Dixon and the fact that he was outside, not here where she could stare at him [ahem]. Shrugging it off, Sage pondered if her siblings would be joining her. Not that she fancied coming, but the castle was getting boring and this was… kinda cool...~[/glow]

[glow=sienna,2,300]-Marc's dark-brown eyes scanned the ballroom for any signs of the king and queen, or their... his... daughters. With a sigh, he grabbed a drink off a passing waiter and leaned against one of the marble columns holding up the ceilings. He was wearing a white, clean-pressed shirt with loose but not baggy pants. Not totally formal, but alryte. His hazel-brown hair, messy as always, was perfectly fitting to his appearance. He hadn't asked to come. He didn't want to. But not attending the King's b-day ball could land yew in jail, and he didn't fancy the thought. With another sip from his drink, he continued keeping watch. Only 7 more hours to go [cuz I said so]...-[/glow]

[glow=white,2,300]^{~Melody smiled at an old rich couple as they commented on how gorgeous she and her siblings looked, and how well the kingdom was coming along under her parents rule, and how some other stuff was so-and-so and why this and that. She'd phased out after 5 minutes of talking, finally giving a quick excuse and sliding away from them. Her silky midnyte-bloo dress cascaded after her as she retreated to her parent's table area; although both of them weren't exactly around. Dropping a gift-wrapped box on the present collection table for her 'father,' she plopped on a chair and watched the doors open and close as guest spilled in by the hundreds. She knew less then 2% of them...~[/glow]}

[glow=sienna,2,300]-Dixon took a hold of the reins belonging to a fancy horse-driven carriage as the wealthy landowners whom had come in it walked up the palace stairs. He signaled for the horses to start moving as he shuddered against the cool evening air, guiding the carriage around the bak and to the make-shift parking area. Tying the horse down he made sure the water supply hadn't frozen over and returned to the castle steps, awaiting the oncoming guests...-[/glow][/sup]

[Woo. Told ya I was gonna go on a posting spree. -Bows- Yew guys kno yew need me ;D]

[GoldenWind]

(lmao!)

[glow=silver,2,300]*she grinned and nodded to whatever he had said before she had entered the ballroom. It didn't really matter to her..he talked to her and he didn't hate her and they were still friends and that was all that mattered to her at the time. Yet as soon as she entered the ballroom all her previous thoughts vanished as she looked around at the decorated room. She was looking at the food table when Ebon brought up the subject of her meeting his mom and his aunt. She then came crashing back down to reality* "Your..your..mom? and your aunt... the alpha?! Well..umm wow. cool umm yea. See if my parents were here i would show you them too...they were cool but they're not here so i can't but i would if i could and so ermm" *she then realized she had totally gotten off topic.* "Yea..yea i'll go!"[/glow]

[Namobutts]

(EHEHEHEHEHE almighty and good DK.. all mighty and goood )

-she walks out of the ladies room about five minutes after Sage and makes her way to the head table. Wearing the same dress as she had at the winter ball, and basically all the other balls, since that was the only fancy outfit she had. Her hair was up in an elegent bun, small bunches falling accross her eyes. The back of her hair, the part up in a bun, looked a deep golden hue, while the front hanging in front of her eyes, was such a pale blond it almost blended in with her white skin. She sits in her mother's seat, next to Tobias. She was taking over for her 'ill' mother tonight, she had left Frost on her bed with a wet washcloth on her forhead. Tobias did not yet know, only she and Melody, that their mother would not be attending that night. She smiles at Melody and whispers to her sister- 2.5% thank you very much... -so that Tobias cannot hear. She doesn't look out across the ball room for fear she'd see Charles with Celine. Therefor she doesn't spot Marc-

-Ruby sits a few chairs down from Crystal, clearly not enjoying herself. She wears a long black skirt and a tight, blood red shirt with a black weaving where there should be sleaves. It looked semi fancy, and had a high collar. Her hair is done half up in a ponytail, half down, touching her hip. She looks around and spys her mother... she suppossed her father would be here soon.. he always took forever to get ready, and she knew Lunar hated to be late by much-

(isn't this sad? I forgot Ruby's colors, AND I only have two characters.. hmm...)

[Wonder]

[-Bows- Thank yew thank yew. And rotfol!@'Butts. Very smooth...]

[glow=lightsteelblue,2,300]-Ebon rolled his eyes playfully and slowed down as the two reached the table, nodding at all his family members quickly although he probably didn't reconize more then 2 or 3 due to their elven shifts. But truth be told, practically everyone at the table was related one way or another [such talent]. Clearing his throat to get his mother's attention, he turned to Ella and waved her over...- 'Mom. I, err, I'd like yew to meet Ella. My g-... My friend. Yea. Ella, my mom. And that's my Aunt. I think yew've already seen her around though. Bak at home...' -'Her real name's Golden Wind. She's from the pack. Came a bit before we were moved here...' He telepathically filled his mother in; sending a message that could easily be read by any family who wished it. Now that that was done, he smiled at Isis and turned to Ella with a 'well, say something!' look...- [/glow]

[glow=brown,2,300]~Sage's honey gold eyes did a quick scan of the tables and landed ryte on Ruby...~ 'There she is...' ~She muttered to herself, standing from her chair and 'floated' over to her sister carefully, as she was on reasonably high shoes and falling down in front of everyone would be all but fun. Letting herself down on an opposing chair, she looked to her sister...~ 'Having fun?' ~Her voice dripped with sarcasm as she looked over at their mother, then bak to Ruby...~ 'Dad's late again, huh? This ought be interesting...'[/glow]

[glow=white,2,300]^{~Melody snapped out of another trance as Crystal joined her, suppressing a grin at the comment by thwapping her sister on the shoulder playfully...~ 'Ha ha. Shall we spill the beans on Tobi-Boy yet?' ~She whispered with a tradation evil glint in her eyes, memories of the troubles the two girls had caused when they were young flooding bak in her mind...~ 'Yew kno he's gonna -luv- it...'[/glow]}[/sup]

[FrostByte]

-She smiles at Melody under her breath. Tobias would be liable to ask anyways, but she felt if he heard it from them first, he wouldn't be as mad. If he didn't he'd think there was some awful secret along with it and thats why they didn't go out and say it, when in fact Crystal meerly didn't want him to explode at her and ground half of her life away. Finally, Crystal nods- yea.. now's... good... as its gonna get... -she looks to Melody to start off the conversation, as its obvious fact that Tobias favored his darker haired daughtor more, or at least that's what she figured. She was sure Tobias would have put his foot down and had Melody fill in for their mother, except for the part that Melody probably wouldn't have wanted to-

-She smiles- I'm having a bash. Don't tell anybody, but I watered down the wine when i first came in, wow, aren't I a prankster- she says, boredom oozing from her voice as much as the sarcasm was dripping from her sisters (sounds messy )- Where is everybody anyways? Shouldn't that stuck up girl who has a crush on Dixon be here? -she says, sitting straight and looking around for Audrey. She needs to argue, she feels like a living flame...-

[Wonder]

[ROTFOL! Those last two lines were a total hint to Becca...]

[Lunar]

[glow=violet,2,300]-she walks in her black hair done elegantly up in a braided half-bun her bloo eyes flick softly around the room before she goes to sit a table with several young people who smile warmly at her as she sits down...apparently she wasn't with Charles, who just happened to appear in the doorway as Tobais, and a pretty blonde did...-[/glow]

[glow=silver,2,300]-he walks in and glances around looking for Frost/Elita...he sighs and smiles at Charles, shaking his hand breifly and nodding to the young lady he was with...he gestures to his table and the two nod, ready to follow...he heads to the table, as their stopped by many people and the blonde smiles and shakes hands with many nodding and talking animatedly for a few seconds before moving along...he reaches the table after only a few minutes and smiles at Lunar before turning to Crystal-
Do you know where your mother is?
-he asks softly talking so that only she can hear, his hand on the back of his chair-[/glow]

[glow=green,2,300]-he steps in shortly after Tobias and looks at Crystal trying to catch her eye before sitting at the table with Celine...Celine smiles slightly and he whispers something to her and she nods her uncertainess disappearing, she talks to her friends who all nod and shake hands with Sapphyre-[/glow]

[glow=springgreen,2,300]-She smiles at GW and nods slightly at the introduction...-
Nice to meet you Ella...
You two make a cute couple -she says silently to her son, her smile never wavering...Ivory hadn't wanted to attend the ball, surprisingly enough Ivory had ventured to the pack, getting sick of elven society-[/glow]

[glow=orange,2,300]-he smiles at the people himself and his date talk to...and eventually makes it to the table...he was wearing a black tux with a red tie (inspired by one of the guyz from my school...dunt ask..teem spirit thing -odod-) and looking completely comfortable-
This is Princess Llara...She's here for the upcoming show...[/glow]

-she smiles warmly at the table...she had long blonde hair, which must hang down below her waist is curled slightly in several places and tied in an elegant knot..her dress, showing that she's a princess, glitters with crystals which are embroidered into the skirts and bodice...She, however, seems not to notice this...her eyes sweep the group waiting for them to greet her, or ignore her..they land on Crystal and she smiles looking happy-

[GoldenWind]

[glow=silver,2,300]*Ella smiled in reply happy she wasn't the one who had to break the silence.* "It's nice to meet you too..err..*she wasn't so sure what to call her she didn't know her first name she well she thought she did but she didn't want to mess it up so she reled on what she thought was best*...Ebony's mom. *she then realized how stupid that sounded and she yelled at herself in her mind.* "Well it sure is nice here isn't it? Yea i like it here they have good food..food is good." *she wanted to slap herself then and there..she was making a complete fool of herself! she then nervously bit her lip as she looked at the floor suddenly very interested in it*[/glow]

[Lunar]

[glow=Purple,2,300]-Lunar smiles gently at the uncomfortable girl-
Relax...Don't worry about making a fool of yourself..Ebony's mom is Isis his father is..well I don't know his father's elven name come to think of it... -she doesn't state who she is but rather turns to the small plate of salad in front of his and eats some of the greens slowly...she didn't love these foods true, but her time as a deer had helped her develop a small, miniscule, appreciation of them...-[/glow]

[glow=springgreen,2,300]-Isis smiles softly and gestures to two seats, one down from hers..-
Have a seat...I'm sure we'll be here a while..At least until midnight, that's how long these things usually run..And everyone isn't even here yet...
-she says looking around for Eve and Kat...as she knew Lunar was looking out for..Lunar was friends with Eve, but not Kat...She saw Lunar's eyes land on a handsome young man sitting with Celine and she frowned staring at him also..He looked so..farmilar...yet she'd never met him before...-[/glow]

[Wonder]

[glow=lightsteelblue,2,300]-Ebon shoots his mother a classic 'mom!!!' look after the cute couple comment, turning to Ella about to tell her his mother's name but Lunar beat him to it. With a 'thanx' nod at his aunt, he also nodded at Isis...- 'In a sec, mom. We're gonna go grab some dinner...' -His eyes wandered to Ella and he shot her a 'right?' look before turning and heading off toward the buffet...-[/glow]

[glow=brown,2,300]~Sage giggled at her sister's reply, scanning the room as she mentioned Audrey...~ 'I'd doubt she'd miss something this important. Knowing her, she's probably around here somewhere commenting about how the curtain colors don't match or how the food isn't hot enuff...' ~Her eyes fell on Ruby again, now slightly amused. Taking a sip of her water, she looked up at a nearby clock. It was only 8:30...~ [/glow]

[glow=white,2,300]^{~Melody rolled her eyes and gave her sister a 'yew goober' look for making her spill the news, but before she had a chance to object Tobias had popped up. Looking to Crystal and then bak at their 'father' she shurgged slightly and went on...~ 'Mom's... not coming...' ~Her eyes wandered to her sister for backup before once more turning to Tobias...~ 'She's not feeling good...'[/glow]}[/sup]

[FrostByte]

-She nods at what Mel says- She told me she might be down later -she lies, trying to make the news wave break easier on the thretening rocks that was her fathers short tempter lately. She says this all softly, so that Charles and the princess cannot hear. She makes short eye contact with the blonde adolecent who seems so close to charles, to ve polite, and puts on a fake smile- for her mother's sake. She doesn't look at Charles, instead back at her sister...-

[glow=maroon,10,300]-She smiles wryly- You only want to wait until the dancing starts. Then you can sneak out and stare at Dixon.. -she says, a wicked teasing, yet loving, look on her face...- (wow.. talent )[/glow]

(cough*marc*cough*)

[Lunar]

[glow=silver,2,300]-he smiles and nods-
She has seemed a bit under the weather lately...Just as well...
-he turns the princess once more, shaking her hand and gesturing to the seats on the opposite side of him for her and Charles-
Please sit Princess..Charles...
-he smiles warmly once again and turns away to another table greeting people and shaking hands...seeming in a much better mood than usual-[/glow]

-she sits down and looks at Crystal once again..her smile never wavering-
I heard your going to be competing against me...I can't wait to see you ride...Word is that the competition is pretty stiff this year...

[glow=springgreen,2,300]-she smiles at her son sweetly and eats a bit more of her food...wondering where her mate was..and where Pryde was for that matter....It wasn't often they'd miss something of this much importance-[/glow]

[glow=orange,2,300]-he sat down next to the princess and picked at the salad that was in front of him but didn't seem interested in eating..instead he was scanning the room...-[/glow]

[glow=green,2,300]-he looks up from whatever is in front of him and across the room at Crystal...he once again attempts to catch her eye..hoping that, she at least, will recognize him...-[/glow]

[FrostByte]

[glow=white,2,300]-He walks in, late, as usual. He spys Lunar instantly and walks over to her, looking guilty, he puts on his puppy dog face, not wanting her to be mad at him for being late- I was checking on Frost -he says softly once he's close enough to her for the whole audiance of ball members to not hear what he says- I don't think she's comming tonight.. she seemed pretty bad...[/glow]

Oh.. well most of that is Celine -She says, not really paying attension. She looks amazed at how easily Tobias had taken the news. There's more to this than she knows obviously, but she doesn't press it. She finally catches Sapphyre's eye, and smiles, happy to be escused from sitting right accross from Charles and his blasted smiling blonde princess. She excuses herself, her eyes dancing wickedly to his sister, who now had to entertain their newest guests, and she walks, the necklace around her pale skin clearly standing out, glittering in the light-
