Masquerade Mingle

[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 am a being of greed. I do so wish to be indulged. [He takes her hand, and this time tilts his mask enough to kiss it in reality.

Then off to the dance floor. It's a sprightly piece coming up, his favorite sort. The kind you can laugh to while dancing.]

[Faster dances are easier for her, and he'd taught her one of his favorites during a solstice. She falls into those sort of steps for lack of knowing anything better to do - this kind of dancing wasn't much favored by Earth teenagers, circa 2003.

She smiles because even with his face covered, she can tell by the set of his shoulders and the way that he's moving that he's enjoying himself.]

[Loki notes immediately which dance she's gravitated towards, and it works well with the music; he falls into that with a quiet, happy laugh.

He is definitely enjoying himself as he whirls them through the crowd. The delicious dress she's chosen makes it even better, in his opinion.]

[She did love the sound of his laughter, even though it was a bit distorted through that mask of his. Really, as far as she was concerned, both their costumes were ridiculous. She did like hers, though. She'd always liked this dress, even if it was ridiculous. Every once in a while, it was nice to be a little silly.

And sometimes, it was nice to just dance with your boyfriend, even if it was in a crowded room and you couldn't see his face.]


Enjoyin' being sinister?

Always. You know my passion for drama. [Really, he ought to be sinister enough without the mask, but that was rarely the case. And he was keeping a low profile here.

He takes her into a turn, to make their skirts flare.]

[She loves that flare, her skirt riding up unevenly high and wide, due to the mid-thigh high slit inherent in the dress's design. Her smile deepens and she glances up at him over her shoulder before the steps right themselves and they face each other again.]

Ya do look... [she trailed off, trying to find a comparison that wouldn't just end in outrageous flirtation] ...a bit like a knife. Deadly an' sharp. [She could go on from there, something about conquering and villainous and hide your daughters and your wives, but instead her voice dropped low and intimate and he may have to focus to hear it about the crowd.] But I do miss seein' your eyes.

The best costumes reveal much in what they hide. [It's certainly something that speaks to him.

Oh, but that does make his heart warm.]


But you shall unmask me at the end of the party, yes?

[Breaking the formality of the dance to chance a caress down the outside his arm, Rogue's voice is warm.] I'm lookin' forward to it.

[His fingers tighten briefly against her side. He's anticipating this, now.] And you've so many layers to unwrap.

[A positively wicked glance over her shoulder as the dance led her briefly away from him, the corners of her mouth curling in intimate amusement.] An' you so few.

[The dress really called for very little to be worn underneath it, if it was to be worn at all properly.]
complicatedliar: (GRIN!)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2016-04-30 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
What an advantage you've offered me. [He really, really likes this dress.]
touchofrogue: (She Smiles like This)

[personal profile] touchofrogue 2016-04-30 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[She can't help but laugh, a bit of pure, delighted joy and shivering anticipation in the sound.] You sure that's an advantage?

I shall make it in to one, you may trust my creativity. [There's a lot of kissing that could go into the removal of that dress...]
