Louise looked up and smiled at the coffee colored pae in the snazzy tux. "Good evening," she responded, "Actually, I'm here on my own, but I can wait with you if you are waiting on someone?" Louise responded, a question in her statement. She hoped he wasn't waiting on anyone, it would be more fun if she was able to spend time with another single person rather then become a third wheel. "Louise." she introduced herself simply, offering her hand to the stranger.
Twizzz gulped. Yeah, this was definitely one way to crash a party. As he stared at the mellons who were freaking out, he wondered how long it would be before they were escorted out for destroying the food. Twizzz glanced back over at the faun with his head buried in a bowl of pudding. Could a pae drown in pudding? Twizzz decided to pull the faun's head out of the pudding bowl it was for his own good. "Hey buddy, you find them yet?" He asked hoping to give the faun a chance to take a breath before he went back into the bowl. Twizzz hoped they wouldn't get kicked out before he found a candy bowl and refilled his bag.

Good.
The party has only just started.
A mysterious figure covered in a shroud of dark grey and purple mist enters through the large archway leading to the ballroom of Venus' Telrunya Temple. Slow and deliberate steps take the figure towards the large and very pink throne that Venus has had erected for herself.
Red orbs shine from behind the mist, scanning the room. The figure stopped in the middle of the room, knelt down and picked up the shining, golden apple with two small, delicate hands. Replacing the apple in the center of the room, carefully as if it's the most fragile item in the room, the figure seems to hesitate a moment before standing back up.
Gliding towards Venus, those same hands emerged from the shroud once more. As if wearing an actual cloak, the hands pushed the mist back, revealing the head of a purple-haired Pae'il goddess. "Venus, sweetheart. Another party? Did my invitation get lost in transit again?"
The shrouding mist dissipated, revealing Eris, Goddess of Discord, standing before Venus.

"Oh, right," he grumbled, turning towards the party again. Might as well get on with this then. Hopefully this would go better than the last time Kane had tried to attend a fancy ball. Ugh. At least the shrimp there had been good.
Though, he was having doubts about this buffet when the first thing he saw was a Faun in the pudding bowl. Really? And Pae accused him of having no manners.
He headed for the opposite end of the table, where instead of sweets, savory treats awaited the Pae'il guests.

Chuckling in response, K'anpo bowed, sweeping his arm out in a wide gesture towards the entrance. "Lead on, my friend. Show me this dear filly that I absolutely must meet." Strutting into the party, the pegasus cast his eyes over the room, spotting another of his kind to the left near the wall. He shot the other male a grin, though he didn't recognize him, gave him a quick two-fingered salute, then moved on without waiting for a response.
So many colorful men and women here tonight, in all manner of fancy dress. He had to admit, he was a bit impressed by what some of them had put together considering the trouble he and the Doctor had had in trying to find something in this primitive land to qualify as 'formal'. "Doctor, you don't suppose..." Blinking, he halted what he was about to say as a particularly colorful Faun at the buffet table just...shoved his head into a bowl of pudding.
He was silent for a moment, then turned to the Doctor with a puzzled expression. "I've just had the strangest craving for fish fingers and custard. You don't suppose they might have any?"

Lugh chuckled softly, patting her hand on his arm. "I imagine it would be. At least you don't have to worry about falling down when you're in the water. Well, you don't have to worry too much with me; I'm pretty out of practice myself when it comes to dancing." He smiled, just looking around at all the decorations, the other Pae, the food...uh, well, he's sure the rest of the food was still okay if you stayed away from the pudding.

Approached by a stranger, Moana was quick to check her composure before turning to face him. She took a moment, having never seen a Faun up-close like this before, then again, slid her composure back into place with a smile. "It's not right now, but I'm sure it will be," she answered with a polite curtsy. Okay, that was hard to do on land legs. She wobbled a bit, hurrying to straighten up. "Eek! Oh, I'm sorry, pardon me, sir," she apologized, blushing a bit. "I'm err...not used to...having legs and all..." well, if he hadn't figured out she was a Naiad by now...

Silvana raised an eyebrow at the boy's odd behavior. Read the signs, she thought, just like Mother taught you. Awkward stance, hesitation, shifting eyes, stating the obvious. Conclusion: typical teenage male greeting a female. She smiled a bit, thinking, she had to at least give him points then for having the courage to come speak to her first. She'd indulge him for a bit. Perhaps he might be more entertaining with time.
"Indeed," she nodded, glancing about before turning back to the odd angel. "I'd wondered if only adults would be attending tonight. How nice to see that I was wrong." She inclined her head, offering the other teen her hand. "Silvana. Might I ask your name, sir?"

Theron had been so absorbed by Leilani's beauty that he doesn't notice the hooded figure or the golden apple, until he almost dances over it. He feels its weight against his foot, and he stops and looks down. "Odd place for an apple," he muses, picking it up. "For the fairest," he reads aloud, then smiles. "Looks like it was fated for you, my love," he says, offering it to Leilani.
