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!]

I'm surprised to see you here, Sokka.

[Allen approaches, wearing a suit and a mask that looks suspiciously like the one that's painted on his door. Yeah...he didn't really try either- he's just better at faking it]

This didn't seem like your kind of thing.

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokks sure recognises it. ]

Hey, Allen. Nice mask.

[He pulls a face, waving at the general mingling of people.]

It really isn't, but Katara asked me to go and then Sansa wanted to come too and...here I am.

[save_the_souls]

Thanks.

[He can't help but grin a little at that explanation]

Really? That's kind of you. They'll probably want to stay the whole time too. [So you're stuck. Sucks to be you]

[alwayscomeback]

[Girls. Just...GIRLS. ]

Proooobably. And I really wanted to check out that smog thing everyone's going on about. You know, for science.

[He lets out a long-suffering sigh. ]

But instead, I'm stuck here. At a fancy party. Technically on a date with my own sister.

That's how sad my life has gotten. This is the point that I'm at.

[save_the_souls]

[He'll reach over and pat Sokka on the shoulder. There there. There there]

Come on, it's not so bad. I mean, at least your sister wanted you to come! That's nice!

[Your sister likes you enough to bring you in public!! Yay!!]

And if it makes you feel better, I ran into someone who assumed I'd bring Timcanpy as my date. [He's not even sure what that's supposed to say about his perceived levels of sad]

[alwayscomeback]

Well, that's true. Probably because she doesn't want me to do check out the smog in case I die or something, but still.

[That's a longass pause there. ]

...You mean there are actually people in the Fleet who don't know you and Clay are a couple? There are people like that who exist?

[save_the_souls]

[a beat] You're not planning to check out the smog, are you?

[Please say no Sokka, please say no]

...Yes? You do realise most people in the fleet know me just as the blood drive guy, right?

[alwayscomeback]

Of course I am! There's some real scientific research to be done out there! I can't leave the moon without learning what I can from it.

Huh. I don't know which is worse. Blood drive guy or dating a little yellow sentient flying ball guy.

[save_the_souls]

[uuuugh] ...Fine. But I'm coming with you.

[he'd hate for Sokka to wander off into a slime pit and never be heard from again]

And definitely the latter's worse.

[alwayscomeback]

Okay, okay, if you insist.

[He is a good friend. He really is. ]

Yeah, that one just ends up with way too many creepy questions.
