Masquerade Mingle

[thespaceopera]

[The night has finally come--the Gravity Rush is nearly upon us! What normally serves as a large performance hall has been gutted, emptied of its boring furniture and rigged up into a fantastical mismatch of technology and old culture. No matter where you go tonight, you're encouraged to move around, dance, play games, whatever helps you sleep in late tomorrow morning.

If you aren't one for scurrying around a ballroom all night, there's always plenty of people-watching to do. After all, so many people are wearing extravagant costumes and elaborate masks. How can you even tell who is who? Get lost in a crowd of sequins, chatter with a sun and a moon, or try to beat the guy in the monster-mask at a game of cards. Meet your friends or make some new ones--this masquerade party has begun!]

[ Laughably easy yes, but that's convenient for someone like Sascha since he's not used to being at parties, let alone trying to find anyone inside them. His own "mask" is no more than face paint so it's easy to tell who he is, and hey--maybe she still remembers her?

He hopes so, because he's going to be waving at her when he recognizes her. ]

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka remembers everyone-- she's a cheating Force cheater anyway. She waves back at him genially.]

Hey. Long time no see.

[pneumo]

[ Which to him is like a giant beacon of LET'S HANG OUT, so he's hurrying to move over to her, expression all bright and chipper. ]

Yeah! I can't breathe the planet air without throwing up, so I've been staying on the ship.

[resnipstance]

Mm, I had a bit of a mishap a few weeks ago, so I've been lying low too.

I'm not much a fan of the air, but these guys sure know how to throw a party.

[pneumo]

Right?? [ Not that he could compare it to anything mind you, this is his very first party ever. ]

What happened to you, did you breathe the air as well?

[resnipstance]

Oh-- no, nothing like that.

It's a bit hard to explain, but... let's just say I got lost looking for a friend.

[pneumo]

....In space?

[ Because if it was in space he can see there being a bit of trouble there, what with the lack of air and all. ]

[resnipstance]

Not... really.

Like I said, it's hard to explain. Let's talk about happier things. Are you enjoying yourself so far?

[pneumo]

Oh--sure. And yeah! I've never been inside such a big place with so many people before...

[resnipstance]

Really, never?

[pneumo]

Nope! This is my very first party~

[resnipstance]

Well, I think this is my first time attending a party as a legitimate guest, so-- first time for everything, huh?

[pneumo]

Whoa, you too?? That's awesome! Now it isn;t just me~

[resnipstance]

Mm, that's right. I've been to parties before, but usually as a mission. Guarding someone important, or dressing up in disguise to get information.

[pneumo]

Like a secret agent?? [ Oh man, that would be so cool... ]

[resnipstance]

Yeah! Exactly like that.

Don't get me wrong, undercover mission work can be fun, but-- at the end of the day you don't exactly get to relax on the job, you know?

[pneumo]

I...yeah? I've never had a job for more than one day so I wouldn't know. But that sounds super-cool...

[resnipstance]

Really?

[She tilts her head, curious.]

It sounds like there's a lot of things you haven't done, then...

[pneumo]

Kinda, yeah. I don't really get to do stuff with people most of the time back home.

[resnipstance]

Huh... how come?

[pneumo]

They don't like having me around~

[resnipstance]

What? Who doesn't?

[pneumo]

Most everyone back home...

Oh! And Sasuke⭐️

[resnipstance]

That's statistically improbable. I can't believe everyone doesn't like you. What's not to like?

[pneumo]

I'm kinda different compared to everyone back home is all...

[ He's a flesh-eating monster who thinks he's a vampire :D ]
