THE GALA ON ADSUM (Mingle Log)

[serpentis]

Who: Anyone and Everyone!
Broadcast: Nope!
Action: A ballroom on Adsum
When: 2/21, Evening-Night



[And the night has arrived! Dorian put out an open invitation, and anyone who is interested is welcome to dress up and meet up for a night of dancing and fawning over each other. Make sure to wear your best, everyone! It's a very special episode of Drift Fleet!]

((OOC: There was an open invitiation, but even if your character never replied or has had personal contact with Dorian, feel free to assume he's let them come along or be dragged along by someone else! I'll be tagging some threads, but if you want a thread to be closed, please just say so in the header.))

Malak; Open

[treasureling]

[ He hadn't had enough time to get something from Garak, and so he'd found something on the moon itself. It's a black suit, with rich purple in the shirt and tie underneath. The clothes are unfamiliar, but they're comfortable - and they have pockets! Structured in different places and loose in different places from what he's used to, but he decides that he likes it.

He's gone with a little makeup, too, lined his eyes in dark colors and lengthened the eyelashes.

Even as beautiful as he looks, and as comfortable as the clothes are, he looks a little ill at ease. Maybe a little too alert regarding his surroundings. He can't quite relax. ]

[there's a maybe-familiar girl looking at him from a little way over... she's wearing a gorgeous black dress and had her hair done up. that might be a little bird skull on her necklace, but she's got to keep some of her creep together.

anyway, she's trying to figure out if this guy is really that guy she met a while ago, back on the other moon... but she's been in a good mood lately, so she'll walk up to him!]

[treasureling]

[ He glances up at her, and there's clear recognition, even happiness at her presence. ] You look beautiful.

[ He doesn't bat an eye at the little skull. It's common where he comes from for women to show off relics of a hunt. He just assumes the bird is particularly rare, and that Krista probably killed it herself. ]

[ladiesss]

[she blushes... but even through that, she's too busy looking surprised and pointing at him.]

Oh my god, it is you!

[treasureling]

[ A blink. ] Yes...? Where you not expecting me?

[ladiesss]

No way. [but she smiles, at least, so seeing him must be a good thing?] I didn't think this would be your kind of party at all.

[treasureling]

I can't like to look pretty once in a while? [ With an arched eyebrow. ]

[ladiesss]

[she stifles a giggle into her hand.] N-No, you can look pretty if you want.

And you do! You look really nice today. [she gives his arm a friendly little pat.]

[treasureling]

You look stunning - and handsome.

[ladiesss]

Handsome? [her eyes widen in surprise--now she's getting embarrassed, giggling into her hands and trying not to cover up her face.] No one's ever called me that before...

[heresyandlace]

[maybe it's the color scheme that he highly approves of, or that enticing sense of discomfort and tension hanging around the man... but Tek is drawn over in his direction long before he recognizes the face.

and when he does recognize who it is, as he wanders nearby, he can't help the sly and surprised grin that crosses his face.]

Oh... goodness, you look wonderful.

a million years later...

[treasureling]

[ It's interesting, the mixed emotional reaction that comes from this. On the one hand, Malak likes being complimented, and he likes taking the time to make himself look beautiful once in a while. On the other hand, there is some twitch of suspicion that seizes in the pit of his stomach, and he can never quite get rid of it. ]

And so do you.

[ He means it, on a smaller and a grander scale: this place is full of finery in a way that he's never really seen before. ]

I'll see your million years, and raise you another million...

[heresyandlace]

Thank you.

[another little glance up and down, but it's at least more lightly appreciative than anything more predatory]

I'm surprised. I had no idea that you were one to dress up like this.
