Dining Room
After their brief introductions, Natalia excused herself from the eating area to somewhere more... remote, perhaps? It wasn't that she was purposely distancing herself, just that, well... She was purposely doing just that.
Living in the jungle with little, if any, outside contact can do a lot to one's psyche.
Leaving, she moved herself further upstairs where the numbers seemed to be dwindling. Strange that their hosts should leave things so open for others to explore. Opening one door in particular, she wandered in only to find what appeared to be an extravagantly-prepared dining room of sorts. Everything was perfectly placed at each table spot: plate, soup spoon, butter knife, knife, coffee spoon, salad fork, main fork, dessert fork, wine glass, water glass, champagne glass.... the works. What could these pae'il be preparing so extensively for?

2nd Floor Dining - with Natalia
Louhi had admittedly spaced out a bit after Natalia had greeted her, and only vaguely managed a "hey" around a mouthful of little snack sausages as the siren moved farther away. Oh, well... oops. That was rude of her. She should probably apologise. The siren was trying to be personable, and Louhi was stuffing her face. And she better hurry up, too, because now the siren was leeeeaviiing... Sticking a last carrot stick in her mouth, Louhi quickly darted after Natalia. Reaching the ornate dining room a few moments after her, though, Louhi stared in a bit of wide-eyed amazement. "Whoa..." She couldn't help reaching out and running her finger around the rim of one of the glasses, getting that distinctive high, clear note.

Main Room -> Study
 Nanani had decided that she was entirely bored by remaining on the dance floor and was going to explore this place a bit. She thought about immediately going to the next floor, but decided instead to look around where she was a bit more, first. First things first... Well, that study looked interesting. Maybe there were old, creepy books in it? She wouldn't actually take them or read them, but...
Okay, maybe she'd read them.
Just a little bit.
Poking her head and then her entire body into the study, Nanani began to surreptitiously investigate the corners of the room for anything interesting. This was probably rude, but she wasn't planning on taking or breaking anything, so what harm would come of it, right? |

Quite frankly, Natalia hadn't been paying much, if any, attention to any others around her as she'd moved away from the crowd. It wasn't something she was accustomed to with normal pae'il, considering how rarely she saw them and all. Only other harpies seemed to instantly trigger her attention, if for only territorial purposes.
So when footsteps continued to echo in the room after she had stopped, it had come as a surprise. Turning, the harpy didn't appear too obviously startled that her temporary acquaintance had decided to join her. Her eyes moved from her figure to the glass she stroked, no more than a slight twitch of the arms reacting to the sharp pitch that was produced.
How painful...
Blinking once, she decided to move closer, clearly inspecting the table setting rather than her companion. "Was there a meal mentioned in the flyer?" she questioned without diverting her attention.

Diamond Jubilee (DJ) - Main Hall
Granny Smith - Main Hall
 Granny Smith merely blinked and stared at the commotion as it took place. It wasn't until the final blow - the one that shattered the mirror - did she move or say anything.
"Well, tha's seven years bad luck!" she stated with a bit of heat to her words. Her hands settled upon her hips and she started looking around. "Alright, who's responsible fer all this here mess!" she half shouted, eyes narrowed and scanning the crowd.
A flash of shadow caught her eyes and she saw a cloaked figure making a mad dash for the stairs. "THERE HE GOES!" she shouted, pointing after him. "GIT HIM!!"
Granny bolted for the stairs flailing an arm. "Hey, you! Git back here and help clean up this here mess you made! Don't yah know it's rude to make a mess at someone's house without cleanin' it up after yerself?!?!"
At first, DJ thought his brother maybe had some trouble with the water as he was turning right as things started to crash and break. He turned swiftly, helping to-.....? No... It wasn't Red...
He grabbed a few of the pitchers then looked beyond his twin to see just what had happened to make all that noise.
Odd... Everything seemed to crash all at once. Did someone do th--..... aaaaaaaannnnnd cue Granny.
For the moment, DJ remained stunned, watching as Granny bolted across the room after... was that a shadow? He frowned a bit then sighed.
"C'mon, Red. Let's finish settin' up then we can help clean up, I 'spose..." he half grumbled then turned to add the pitchers he held to the barrel that had a few apples in it.
This was shaping up to be an interesting night...
FA Mysteries because Granny is in pursuit.

PLAYROOM
Magic tricks? There was a soft giggle, against Minuette's ear, voice echoing but soft enough for only the fauny to hear. Papa did magic...
Her expression softened more, at the thought, the redness leaving her eyes once again. While the temperature warmed in the room just slightly, it was still nearly hypothermic, breath visible in the air.
When the fauny levitated one of the stuffed bears with her horn, the little girl gasped in excitement, clapping her hands in a way that should have made sound--but didn't. She watched as it flew, and watched it fall back to the ground, gently sitting where it had been.
Friend.
Calima gestured to the barrel toy.
There's things in it, and you pull them out. You have to try and get them all at once. Can you do it?
If Yuki and Eleora tried to listen, they would realize they no longer heard anything. Minuette was responding to the air and the cold.

Main Hall
Crashing.
Shattering.
Chaos and mess.
Shouting.
Red had to look twice to make sure he hadn't dropped any of the pitchers of water, yet when they all remained still safe in his arms, the faunie became confused. "What in tarnation?" he gasped, thankful his brother had snatched up some of the pitchers, allowing him to set the remaining down and check out what had happened.
Someone had made a mess, a right messy mess at that too. "Well I'll be a timberwolve's uncle. Who would da..." he paused, watching Granny run off shouting after the culprit. Face palming, he quickly began pouring the pitchers of water into the bucket so he could help clean things up. "Say...ah...DJ. Don't 'suppose we should...ya know, Go after Granny?" he asked, peering around at the other party goers.
What a strange....strange party.

Morena Master bedroom
Her own breath caught in her throat as she watched the mirror's reflection change. The figures she saw were NOT the the other two fae in the room. How had those two gotten into the room without her noticing it? What illusion brought the other images? For a few brief moments it felt like she was standing in the room as it must have been, looking at the reflection. The images almost took away the growing cold.
Turning her head, she saw the two fae with her, but nothing else. The other two, male and the female she'd seen were not in the room. Was this a trick of that fae of the mirrors? Turning back to look again, the couple were gone. Instead a shadow had entered. Even she had a shiver run up her spine as she watched the thing move. Quickly looking behind again, she saw nothing.
This was a trick, she told herself, as she looked back. At that moment, ice fell into the pit of her stomach as she looked directly into the glowing eye that met her own. She shivered again, her hands grasping the opposite arm but the shiver had nothing to do with the freezing room.
Her power would have no affect here. She wondered if the brightly colored female had powers as warm as her appearance but put the idea off as soon as it came. What she had seen fascinated her, this whole house did for that matter.
It was also intolerably cold! It hadn't seemed as cold before but her own breath told her it was really cold now! The bed sheet was looking inviting, bundled up in that would be nice right about now. However, with others in the room she wouldn't dare act so undignified.
Reaching for the fresh powder puff, she batted it against her hand a few times then pressed it on the mirror to attempt to clean it off. If the short vision for lack of a better world was show in the mirror, maybe she could call it back? Trying to be careful, she attempted to brush it off, not paying attention to anything that could come off of the puff.
Before she could get too far, the puff fell out of her hand and rolled over the edge of the far end of the vanity. Holding her skirts up to walk over, she took the chance to push against the pushed in panel. Curiosity had gotten the better of her and as of yet she had no excuses running if the other two were still there.
Absentmindedly she called out behind her, "I have it." Hoping they'd stay away, if there was anything behind this, then it was hers. Watching her fingers tremble, she felt pride. It was not fear, the great Morena did not fear! The cold however, she was not immune to that. It made her think of Mo, a male she hadn't thought of in years. No longer able to remember why, but she associated the cold with him. It didn't keep her from shivering, but at least she wasn't too bitter about it. Now if her fingers turned blue the room was catching on fire!

Adelphos: Studio on the 3rd floor.
Ruaidhri: Main Hall
Haukea: Library
Ophelia: Main Hall
Adelphos turned toward the door as he heard someone else come in. He didn't look very friendly, but not everyone did. Or was, actually. He nodded a bit, offering a small smile. "Looks that way," he responded.
"Yeah, you too," he grumped at Lisandru. It wasn't Lisandru he was grumpy with, really, it was Prisma and his apparently inability to steer clear of her. He rolled his eyes a bit when she called him silly, and suggested they go find the kitchen. "Sure, whatever." Although his goal in wanting to get food had been to get away from the rainbow weirdo.
....okay so maybe food wasn't a bad idea just now. He grumbled a bit and allowed Prisma to drag him wherever she pleased. Could someone remind him why he wanted to come to this party anyway?
Just then, there was a crashing, shattering noise coming from the bar and the feline demon hissed at it, his hackles rising and his teeth bared viciously at what could possibly be a threat. But when he looked, there was no one there. No one that could have done the damage, anyway. This party was getting interesting now...
Haukea was still cowering a bit against the book case, but he relaxed a little as he nibbled his fudge and the harpy seemed to respond politely. "H-Haukea. N-nice to meet you, Sparrow," he said with a small smile. Whoohoo! He managed to meet someone and not freak out completely. Point for him.
Ophelia grinned when the other female smiled. "Perfect~" she said and moved a little closer. If she wasn't into girls, then she would say so, wouldn't she? No harm, no foul, Ophelia would be disappointed, but she wouldn't make a big deal out of it. Anyway, who cared? The prettiest lady in the room had agreed to dance with her. Go, Ophie~
"I'm Ophelia," she said as she started to dance, just as bottles of liquor crashed to the floor, along with glasses. "What the hell?" she wondered, staring with wide eyes as something punched the mirror and shattered it. "Well," she said a little breathily. "Someone went all out for Halloween, huh?" She wasn't sure if she quite believed that. She was fascinated, though. "Wanna go see if we can find the one who did it?" she grinned at the red faery.

Main Hall
Her brothers had gone so naturally she wanted to go as well! Rather then exactly tell them she was going, it seemed more fun to try and go unnoticed. First step naturally came the costume. There was no better place to live for this than her home! Using what was around, or what she made herself with items she didn't think her mother needed, Sapphire Rose got to work.
Going as a fashion designer. What did a fashion designer look like? Mostly like her usual self with a hat and tinted glasses. Using a deep purple scarf she covered her hair completely and tied the ends together letting them fall to her mid-back in an imitation of a mane. She had to make some room for her branches, confining those was just uncomfortable! On her forehead was a bejeweled silver horn that was attached to the top of the large red tinted glasses.
In addition she wore a long tight fitting red dress designed to make her feel older, giving emphases to assets she didn't quite have yet. There was even a dramatic slit up one side and a sewn in zap apple on her hip. To complete her attempt to look more like her family, she had an imitation tail flowing from her back down to the ground. Mostly blonde, she has streaks of purple, black and red to set it off. Her own tail was hidden under the dress with the costume one held in place with a black belt around her waist.
Feeling oh so clever and grown up, the teen made her entrance into the party. First thing she heard was a crash and a shattering sound. Grannie's voice was hard to mistake, and her brothers' were clear as day.
Standing confused, it was a tie between going after her Grannie, or staying to help her brothers and see if the costume had worked. No where brave enough to run after Grannie by herself, she feared getting lost and ending up alone in this strange house.
Deciding then she took a deep breath and slipped in the character. Attempting a grown up walk, she actually moved slowly towards the stallions, one hand at her side, while the other was held out with a charcoal stick in her hand. The costume had needed something and a fashion designer would have something to write ideas with, right?
Slowing her words down, she tired to deepen her voice and speak softer as apposed to her mile a minute high excitement. "My, who pulled the stitch out?" This was a party just what had gone on? "Frogged up good, this one. Need any help?" Even in character, she still had to ask if they needed help. At least she kept her face neutral because wanted to wince. Dressed as a fashion designer, she was one, not little sister! Clearly this talent of hers still needed some help. Her tone however, was consistent and hardly sounded like her, at least to her own ears.
Punch caught her eye, the apple goods were wonderful, but that looked tasty too! As soon as she could, the punch was calling her name!
Seruta DJ because she was talking to the two brothers and mention of Grannie.
((frogging is a real term, for pulling out stitches when making a mistake in sewing))
