Beast's Ballroom

[kairikiller]

When Kairi had decided to come to the party in Beast's Castle, she had done so for a reason. After all, what girl didn't like getting dressed up in expensive fabrics and jewels to go to a special occasion? If there was a girl who didn't like that, Kairi wasn't her. The redhead was beaming with excitement as she stepped into the ballroom, the light catching the tiara nested in her updo and the necklace gracing her chest and making her sparkle even more. Her thin body was adorned in a floor length ball gown crafted out of light pink silk, with off the shoulder sleeves and a large tulle skirt that rustled as she walked. Yes, Kairi was the epitome of girlishness at the moment and her giggling wasn't helping her case.

"This is so cool!" she said to herself, looking around at everyone. She brought up a gloved hand to cover her mouth as she let out another giggle. She scanned the room, eyes widening when she saw Roxas. She quickly disregarded him, though; there were other people to worry about! Everyone looked so dressed up and sharp and it made Kairi wish that everyday called for garb such as this.

After a moment, the Princess of Heart began to make her way to one of the massive windows that the ballroom was known for. She found herself standing next to a rather distraught looking young man and she decided to make her presence known. "Hello!" she said happily, flashing her pearly whites and holding out a hand. "I'm Kairi. I've never seen you before." As she said this, her foot began to habitually tap to the beat of the music. She wondered if she would dance later.






*EDIT*
To make this abundantly clear, which it should have been seeing as Custom Titles can only be made by Staff...Kairi is in her full right to RP here, as is Sora, Riku, and Mickey in their respective locations. Read the Title people, take a guess, and tell your friends.

Ryuu was shocked by the venom in the girl's voice, but he pushed it off and shook his head. He saw that the girl was staring off into space, obviously waiting for the reply. But when Ryuu tried to speak, he looked at the girl again and saw how pretty she looked. She was wearing a long, sparkled ocean blue dress that matched the color of her eyes. Realizing what he was doing, he mentally slapped himself and shifted his eyes back to her face.

Blushing slightly, he cleared his throat and put his hand out, as if to shake hers. "My name's Ryuu, you probably know that already, and since I haven't properly been acquainted to you, I wanted to know what your name was." Smooth...

At first, Kylon didn't even notice the other guy coming up and standing beside him. His eyes were trained on the window for a couple minutes, completely tuning out everything else around him. His thoughts were in a complete jumble. Telnaeru's disappearance, his sudden memory loss, that strange occurance at Destiny Island, they all had to be connected somehow. But the only question that was floating in his brain was how? Snapping out of the strange trance he was in, he looked at the guy who had followed him from where he was previously standing. Gigantic crowds were things he couldn't handle, however, one or two people were fine.
"Oh, hey. Yeah, I'm fine. Just...had to deal with a lot recently. Lost a close friend..."

Looking at the guy in the white vest and black shirt, Kylon couldn't help but feel slightly out of place. He seemed to be the only guy in close view that wasn't wearing black anywhere on him. Of course, it wasn't like it was his fault. He didn't choose to wear those clothes, although he had to admit they were rather snazzy. Running his free hand through his hair yet again, he Took his gaze from the guy and looked over at the dancers. His jaw instantly dropped when his eyes met those of another girl. She was beautiful. With a tiara in her hair, necklace around her neck, and a beautiful pink dress dropping to the floor, he couldn't help but stare in awe.
"Whoa..."

Kylon couldn't help but be awestriken upon seeing Kairi, thee one and only Kairi. The same Kairi who Sora had so gallantly gone out to save on more than one occasion. The same Kairi who now stood in front of Kylon. He honestly didn't know what to say. Of course, he wouldn't be able to try and flirt with her, seeing as she was a bit young for him. He couldn't help but feel that it...well, sucked. There was probably the most beautiful girl at the dance, and she was too young for him, he thought. He could still get to know her and become friends with her, but anything else was off limits.

He did have morals, after all.

Upon hearing her introduction, he couldn't help but laugh a bit on the inside. He never would've been able to just go up to random people and say hi, unless he was in a really good mood. And yet, she just waltzed on up to them and said hi. Smiling at her, he looked upon her eyes with his own. She was quite the pretty girl, despite her age. Looking from her, to the guy that had walked up, and back to her, he realised his headache had gone away. He was feeling quite a lot better, too. It seemed as if all he had to do was take his mind off of his troubles to make him feel better.

Who knew?
"Hey, Kairi. No, I don't think we've met before. I'm Kylon, and this is...erm...I don't think we've introduced ourselves?"

[Violinist]

Jason sighed as the boy he had been talking to earlier disappeared. He didn't blame him, he would have done the same thing. He walked away from the others without a word since the current song was almost over. Sparing only a glance for the new arrival, he quickly took off the bracelet he was wearing under his clothes and the illusory Johnathan and Mallory disappeared as he threw it away and opened his violin case. His shadow almost vibrated with excitement, but he wasn't going to use shadows in this song. Jason got up on the stage and scurried the other musicians off it. He didn't need rookies to help him. When the music stopped, most people looked around in confusion or surprise, but those looks would fade.

Raising his bow, Jason started playing, a simple, somber tune designed only to bring him in into a state where his aspects as a Sound Elemental were truly revealed. He could sense himself getting lost in the music, and the sound of an entire symphony echoed through the entire room. The song got complicated, but the loudest and purest tone was the high-pitched sound of Jason's violin. Standing there for a few moments, the crowd was stunned by the beauty of the music and then started dancing again. Jason himself was taken away by the music, slowly dancing around the stage. The only sign of consciousness was the moving of his arm as he played his instrument, the rest of him was taken away by the music.

Sonolias gingerly smiled at the girl who so willingly approached. Though it wasn't his right to step in, he'd do it anyways. Nodding to Kylon quickly, he turned back towards the girl who's apparent name was Kairi. Rang some bell in the back of his head, but at the moment, it wouldn't come to the front.

"My name's Sonolias..." he said to Kylon, then turned to the girl, then once again back at Kylon. He was in love. Giving Kylon a hand to shake, he smiled a smile that went "Go ahead, she's all yours." Kind of odd how his mood totally flipped around when the girl walked in. She's some pain reliever.. Sonolias sighed.

(Out of ideas.. >.<)

[windy]

Windy's bright red eyes would blink with surprise at the automatic dress code. She wondered if it was entirely random what outfit one was afforded. It was possible that the fact that everyone seemed to look quite nice was but a clever ruse in order to get her into something just frilly enough to send her into a coma.

Apparently she was just lucky enough to avoid such a fate, as her clothes promptly changed into a low-key brown dress. She liked brown. It was an underrated color. Flashy things weren't her style.

"...Hm..."

So it wasn't a trap. Or, perhaps it was a very poor trap. Either one.

Prancing fancifully, she allowed any girlish glee that had not immediately been quashed to unleash itself, before straightening in a dignified manner and watching to see if anyone else happened to be less lucky, or if the formal wear was consistant in its lack of nefariously frilly clothing.

Well someone had to be alert...

[myone]

Well, this was different.

If it wasn't his sudden appearance in an enormous ballroom filled with regal looking people that shocked Konaa, it was the fact that he was dressed exactly like them that did it. His ragged black jacket had been transformed into...a SUIT, for heaven's sake! If that wasn't ridiculous enough, he had a red flower stuffed in his collar. He fit the bill of a fine gentleman perfectly.

Which infuriated him. He was NOT a gentleman! Normally not one to anger, ever, this quickly roused his temper. However, his anger vanished as quickly as it came, and he decided to analyze the situation, in case of an attack.

I appear to be lying face down on the ground.

...That's unusual. Perhaps I should get up before people begin to look...

Rolling over onto his back, he realized it was far too late to avoid that. People were throwing him curious looks.

What a way to break the ice.

[windy]

A boy on the floor?

Windy wasn't one to be surprised. This warranted a raised eyebrow at least, she decided.

"Sir, I'm afraid that is the least convincing doormat impression I have ever seen." She said sardonicly.

Oh but he looked so comically puzzled. So hilariously bemused. So very...silly. A decidedly unladylike snort would be slightly muffled by her hand before she burst into laughter.

Holding her stomach, she quickly evolved into a foutain of mirth.

This was not likely to improve upon his mood, however...

[myone]

...and now there was laughter. Oh joy, oh rapture.

Sarcastic, as well. Unfortunately, Konaa's usual wit had deserted him. He ignored the girl's taunt, and concentrated on his aching head. The pain was receding, so whatever had dropped him into this world had short lasting side effects. Good to know.

They wouldn't be interested for long, and he was beginning to get up before a lapse of pain ran through his head, and he dropped back down, much to the amusement of the formal party-goers.

Okay, standing up doesn't appear to be an option. I'll sit, then.

This wasn't going to end well.

[windy]

Windy's bright laughter slowly died down as she leaned against the wall for support.

She had a slight relapse after seeing his annoyed face. Oh, but it was priceless. She wished she had a camera. Or some plaster to put over his face and keep on her wall. Or a caricature artist...

Shaking her head and pulling herself out of her thoughtful plaster-filled reverie, she tilted her head at the boy's attempt at getting up.

Straightening once more in a businesslike fashion, she dropped to her knees and examined his pupils, holding his eyes open in a no-nonsense fashion.

"You don't have a concussion or anything, do you...?"

Windy knew a few things about basic injuries. Perhaps she should have been a doctor...

Nah. She would laugh too much.

[myone]

"I might, but the pain's receding..."

At least she wasn't a complete not a very nice person. Indeed, the pain disappeared quickly, and he stood up, straightening his suit and glancing about. People were still concealing laughter behind their hands.

At least they're polite. I could be in a worse place, considering how dignified this party is and how UNdignified that landing was...

Really, he had an unhealthy habit of drawing attention to himself. Like that time he'd fallen off that roof in Twilight Town, straight in the middle of market day.

Then again, he'd had too many broken bones on that occasion to notice the attention he'd gotten.

But here, he'd landed in the direct middle of the entire ballroom. Other people looked as though they hadn't expected the change in attire, but at least they hadn't popped into the one place where everyone was bound to notice them.

He needed better luck, and fast. One of these falls was going to kill him, eventually..

[windy]

Windy nodded before grinning.

"Well, don't look so mopey. You weren't trying to impress anyone, were you?"

He didn't excactly seem the type for that sort of thing.

"Besides...you made quite an entrance!"

She snorted with another giggle and grabbed his hand to yank him up.

"With all the attention you're getting..." She fluttered her eyelashes...

A melodramatic sigh left her lips as she made an elaborate gesture and twirled about for effect.

"...It's like you're the prettiest girl here...!"

[deathrowotaku]

Sitting alone at a table close to the band Arbitrix sat alone admiring the music. He loved music, more so aggressive music but anything with talent was bound to keep him interested for some time. He sat there for a while listening to the relaxing melodies, it was good thinking music.

He thought again of his attire, he wasn't fond of it at all. Suits didn't match him so well, his long hair pulled in a ponytail behind his head made him feel a bit weird as well and the silent laughs aroudn the room didn't help it. He thought it was directed at him. A bit angered, he ignored it, it didn't matter anyway. Then upon a quick stretch he noticed the cause of the laughter.

A boy sat in the floor. Even Arbitrix raised an eyebrow at that. He thought of joining them but shook the thought, was actually surprised it came. He didn't like crowds, at least certain crowds he felt awkward even being here. But traveling to random planets as he did got tedious. He needed some kind of comfort and it seemed some sort of crisis had been resolved to cause paties on many worlds. He happened to be in this one, may as well try to enjoy it.

He did however focus his attention to the two, he was bored and the music was getting old. He enjoyed classic violin as much as the next guy but it seemed somewhat repetitive. So there he sat watching the two.

[Heroic Bilby]

Boy did he stand out. Somebody wandered into the ball looking like a homeless vagabond. Heck, if the castle had been a restaurant with a "No shirt, no shoes, no service" rule then this guy would be a double offender. The only clothes preventing its indecency were some ordinary black pants and a matching cloak, the opening at the front of which revealing that it wore nothing over it's torso underneath. Even it's short black hair looked like it hadn't been combed in over a year.

But the creature cared nothing about fitting in. How could it? Heartless can't care about much of anything. Despite being one of such a race though, this one was not causing any sort of scene with it's presence, save for the few odd looks of "What is he wearing?" and "Where does he think he is?". No, at the moment this being looked like any other adult human male. Well... except for those two yellow eyes of course. But the emblem that usually rested on it's chest was not there at the moment, suppressed deep within itself along with most of its Heartless instincts. Still, it was those very instincts that had drawn the creature to this place at this time. There was... something here. Something that he was compelled to seek out. It wasn't the multitude of hearts gathered that he could take away. No, that urge was buried deep within it for the time. It was something else.... something....

Special.

For now the creature would simply walk alone in silence, moving around whatever people didn't voluntarily get out of it's way. It's head swayed side to side every now and then. Ever searching for something in the sea of bright hearts that it saw around him.

[myone]

...not it. >> Nah, I'll leave if it gets seriously crowded.

Normally Windy's comment would've stunned any boy into shock, but Konaa was used to such comments. He continued to ignore her insulting manner, she seemed to be the kind to be annoyed by that.

He thought about moving out of the middle of the ballroom, but he hadn't really regained the use of his feet yet.

That, and the shock of getting transported into every schoolgirl's dream come true was a bit...odd. He was still half convinced, despite the pain, that this was the weirdest dream he would ever have.
