Pondside Bonfire| Open!

[Aki Welland]

The wood was just starting to crackle, sending sparks playing across the night. It was Friday, and what a Friday it was. The day had been warm but not killer and the evening was just chilly enough to make you want to have a jacket. A girl with long copperish hair moved around the lake with ease, trying to get the fire going. Somewhere nearby a stereo had music going, rockiskish party music that wouldn’t be stopping for a long time. She had scoured all her runner music and put together a playlist on her laptop that would hopefully please most people. If not they would just have to deal because she wasn’t really in the mood to take requests and she certainly wasn’t going to let anyone else mess with machinery. Not with all the modifications she had done to it to make it…well.. extremely hacked for one thing. Her devilish smile carved across her face and she went back to a table she had set up.

It had taken Aki all day to get the stuff here for a bonfire, especially one she didn’task permission to have. She wasn’t even sure how many people were going to come really. Of course, any trouble maker like herself would come, but it would be the whole sneaking out part that would be fun for them. She had left before curfew and hadn’t gone back inside since then, and hoped no one had noticed. Well, her roomies might have but that was a different story anyway. Now she was getting ready for a party because it seemed lately that everyone had needed one. It had taken her a week or so to spread the rumor that it was going to be down by the pond on the far side where she hoped the teachers wouldn’t take too much notice. No alcohol from her, but some knucklehead was bound to bring some anyway.

A few people had arrived in ones and two’s and were currently milling around. They were a bit younger, fifteenish, and she didn’t know them. She had said no one under fifteen so that there wouldn’t be too much trouble but didn’t know who would listen. All Aki cared about was that a bunch of people came so that there could be music, partying, fun, and eventually lots of practical jokes. That would be the best part.

The sky was a navy blue, a soft blackness was just now crawling across the earth. Small stars and galaxys faded into view as the sun finally dipped far beyond the horizon. Crickets and the occasional treefrog sang into the night sky, their tune rhythmic and comforting.

And Leo watched and listened, the perfect spectator.

He knew that it was obviously just a bit past curfew. He also knew that his clothing was soggy from the dew. But he didn't care, he just continued to lay back and watch the stars. It was getting hard for him, he noticed, to even get a good view of the stars on a clear night like today. He could make out the bright constellations, the Big Dipper, Cassiopeia, and the belt of Orion. Everything else seemed way too dim. He sighed, sitting up and rubbing his eyes. I guess it is time to turn in.

Leo stood up, stretching out his arms and rolling his neck to let it crack. As he turned his head he found himself staring at a dim flickering light that was coming from the other side of the Koi pond. He squinted in some effort to see what it was he was looking at. But he couldn't make out much except a dim flickering light and moving blobs. What. is. that. He thought, walking towards the light.

As he got closer he started making out the sound of rock music. The loud screamy kind that talks about prostitutes and one night stands. Then he could finally make out what the light was, a fire, and the moving blobs were people. He swallowed hard, he had just walked in, uninvited, on some after curfew party. "Uh, I'm sorry for intruding. You know you really shouldn't have a fire on school grounds. " He said, lowering his head and taking a few steps backward.

[Isabella Crane]

It was late, but then again that didn't mean much to Bella. Right now she was having a hard time sleeping because of all the things on her mind and when she did start drifting off she would unwillingly cast illusions that she really didn't want to share with her room mates right now. She had tried to read a book to settle down but that had helped the girl none. So after about an hour of simply wasting her time and repeating the same chapter twice... at least that she counted she slipped her shoes on and snuck out onto the grounds.

It was cool, nice in Bella's opinion tonight. She felt comfortable in her gray soft cotton blouse that wrapped and tied around her waist into a big bow towards the side. Her long black skirt was stretchy and loose, flowing freely about her ankles. Her blond hair was in it's natural waves and curls but was twisted up and clipped out of her way, mind the few stray hairs that swept around her face and shoulders. She had on her usual make up with just a bit of dark gray eye shadow in the crease of her lids.

The girl walked away from the school, naturally drawn to the pond but as she grew nearer she could hear the sound of rock music (at least that's what she assumed it was) playing in the distance. Her first instinct was to turn around and go back to the school, if there was a bunch of kids having fun out here she was certain she could be no 'fun' part of it. She wasn't the social type and she didn't really blend in like other girls usually did. She wasn't one to gossip or fawn over the flavor of the week.

But as it is said, curiosity killed the cat and right now Isabella was quiet curious as to just what it was she was missing. She didn't have to get too close, just a peek at what all these figures were doing so late and out here by the pond at night.

As she grew close enough to make things out she was seen by a few young students, kids that didn't know just how awkward she could be and they nodded their head smiling and waving at her. She would be stupid to turn around now, the attention was already on her. No, right now she would kind of stalk around quietly and see who else was there, what else was going on. She smiled at the group and walked past them, her eyes scanning over the people that had already made their way here. She noticed a few faces but no one she had ever really talked to. She made her way to the edge of the crowd and watched the others for a moment, finding this distraction a somewhat good change of pace... at least when it came to keeping her thoughts leveled out.

[Gabriel & Uriel Raines]

Gabriel and Uriel were laying out, watching stars and naming the constellations as their father had taught them. No star charts, no telescopes - those were all back in their rooms. Just laying down on the grass, staring at the sky. Finally, Gabriel looked at his watch, and even though Uriel hadn't seen the time, he was the one who gasped.

"Oh, shoot, it's past curfew, we need to get back and pack to go home tomorrow.." Uriel chided them, both leaping to their feet and heading back towards their dorm. Normally they left on Friday night to get home, but their parents were on a business trip and were getting back sometime around 2am, so after they all slept some, they wold head home. Gabriel and Uriel would probably just walk home, surprise their parents with breakfast.

But then they caught wind of the smoke on the air, and looking around through the darkness, were relieved for their exceptional senses when around each other. Was that smoke? And a fire? Glancing to each other, they soon remembered the party that was happening tonight.

"Ohno." Uriel said, shaking his head. Gabriel shrugged, grinning. "Ohh, yes." Before grabbing Uriel's hand and dragging him off, Uriel sighing and giving in easily.

Once they arrived, they winced at the loud booming music, trying to avoid it as best they could and meandering away from the speakers. There weren't a lot of people here yet, but it was just only after curfew. What would they do if they were caught? Run. They were very fast at running, and good at climbing and knew where the lived had roof access, so that was nice. Also, being each other's roommate helped so there'd be no sneaking back completely.

They kind of stood back, not knowing many of the people there, before they saw another girl who seemed to be in the same position. With another protest from Uriel, Gabriel grinned, dragging him over - discreetly as two grinning fools could be - over to her. They recognized her face.. were normally so good with names and faces.. not really. Not really at all.

As they approached Isabella, Uriel - again - gave in to Gabriel, both sidling up to her, Gabriel starting.

"Soo... do you break curfew often?" Uriel mentally face palmed them both, finding that to be the worst starting question, but he guessed it was better than nothing..

[Aki Welland]

A few more people trickled into the party and Aki let her senses widen- her mental ones that is. She was going to make sure everything went right. If that meant tasting the air for the random thoughts swirling around the party atmosphere. A few people were just chillin, happy thouhgts rolling around them. She caught one set of familiar thoughts that to her tasted like lightning, and turned. She could see Leo there. He said something, and she let herself catch him saying it.

Uh, I'm sorry for intruding. You know you really shouldn't have a fire on school grounds Oh Leo, it would figure he would say something like that. She wondered why he was even here because he was the kind of person who never broke rules. Well, not unless she was around anyway. He must have been out stargazing or something and just stumbled upon the party, which was the feeling she was getting from him. She snuck up on him and let her hands tap him lightly on the shoulder.

" Simmer down Sparky, you're fine if you're with me. Chill, enjoy the music. I might even throw in some music you like, Jack Johnson or whatever." She wouldn't admit it out loud but it was Leo who had gotten her hooked on Jack Johnson and that sort of easy music. Other than that she had fast, high tension music that made her want to run and move. Well for a party this might be okay. She thought to herself. At the last second she let go of Leo so her thoughts wouldn't leak over. No skin touched, no foul play. Inside she was a bit relieved because that would be something she was going to have to work on. She pulled her senses all the way back into herself until they were just a little ball hanging inside of her. She wouldn't be letting them out for a little bit until she had some control.

Another person wandered over, a blonde girl in a greyish shirt and black skirt. She too, looked like she had wandered in accidentally. Who had actually heard about this party anyway? She had definitely told a bunch of people and wondered if she was going to get the turnout she had hoped for. She shrugged her shoulder and watched a pair of twins walk over, one dragging the other. Gestalt? Probably. She would have to go and talk to the three of them in a minute after she made sure Leo was okay here. Aki was worried about him since he was always so...quiet, and polite. Parties weren't his thing, and she had to hold back a sigh. He could chill by the fire then.

[Isabella Crane]

Bella's eyes drifted around the crowd, watching each one with the slightest hint of a smile on her face. She didn't necessarily care for this kind of music, nor did she really care for any of the topics she heard a few others talking about but she was amused at how easy it was to feel at least comfortable here. Of course that could change at any minute. Perhaps it was the ambiance that Aki had worked on giving the party, the feeling of energy. She wasn't yet ready to come fully out of her skin but she would stay around for a bit, still being the shy girl...

The pair of twins caught Bella's attention as they started making their way to her. If they looked really awkward by other's standards, well it was missed on her. But she could really sympathize with Uriel at this point, often feeling like she didn't know just what to say. She wasn't too good as guessing what others wanted to hear and didn't find herself interesting enough to hold anyone's attention for too long. She almost looked away but couldn't, they pair were a bit interesting to say the least and as they drew up next to her she greeted them with a smile.

Gabriel was the first one to break the silence and Bella shook her head just slightly, "Not really. Do you?" She glanced from one boy to another, knowing she had seen them around the school. They were close to her age and even though they were only average height for boys they were both taller than her. Her smile grew more.. genuine. "Are you all.... gestalt?" She hoped that the two would keep her company for at least a while, she found the whole idea fascinating and seeing as how she hadn't been in close contact with any before this was her awakening experience.

[Gabriel & Uriel Raines]

Gabriel and Uriel both grinned, and in tandem, gave a, "Nope." "Nope. They then continued on, smiling gently at her. "This is actually out first time out past curfew-" "And it was an accident." Uriel chimed in, helpfully.

At the question of them being a Gestalt pair, they looked at each other, as if completely shocked by that, before looking to her with completely surprised faces, before saying - again in tandem:
"No, no, what could've ever given you that idea?!" "No, no, what could've ever given you that idea?"

They then turned from confused faces to the same charming smile, both of them reaching their hands out, Gabriel letting Uriel go first this time. "I'm Uriel." "And I'm Gabriel." After a quick moment, they did finally admit to her that they were Gestalts.

"Gestalt pair extraordinaires, at your service." "Gestalt pair extraordinaires, at your service."

"So what's your specialty? Oh, and name, of course. Uriel asked, smiling. At least they found someone else here who wasn't actually a trouble maker. They'd been a little concerned as to if there were only trouble makers here, only people who were usually out after curfew. But they were glad they'd met a nice girl here already, at this potentially very against the rules party.

At least it was fun and going well, and they felt a little more outgoing.

[Leonardo Charter]

Leo stood around for a few seconds after he had spoken. He could hear a few people giggling at his comment and he shrugged it off. With a sigh and a final glance around he turned to leave only to be intercepted by two hands gripping his shoulders. He stiffened for a moment, his hands twitching a bit from the surprise. Before he could open his mouth and question anyone's motives he heard the familiar voice of Aki in his ear. His body relaxed, if only slightly, and he turned his head to look her in the eyes.

" I wouldn't really constitute this as music." He joked squinting a little to make out her face in the dim light. He couldn't see much, save for blurred highlights from the fire. " Thank you for the offer, really, but. . . this is a bad idea." He said as she let go of his shoulders. It really wasn't surprising that she was here, she was always doing these sort of rule breaker activities. He wasn't even that surprised that she was running this whole 'shin dig'. Breaking rules came as easy as breathing for her. But it didn't come as easy for him.

"What happens . . . if we. . . get caught?" He asked his tone a bit lower and whispered than before. Leo couldn't really imagine what would happen if they got caught. It would probably constitute many detentions and maybe a essay on the topic of dangers of being out after curfew. I've never even gotten a detention! He thought running his hand through his hair nervously, waiting for some sort of answer to his question.

[Isabella Crane]

Bella watched the two as they almost spoke over top of one another. Uriel was more like an echo but given the fact he seemed the less eager of the party to be out here tonight showed he had his own personality. Bella had seen twins, had read about them but she couldn't say she had any as friends. She wasn't sure if they were all linked this close, for all she knew they could have both inherited their meta abilities from their parents and it could have been something entirely different from the others.

She looked a bit puzzled too as they acted confused and asked what would have made her think they were gestalt twins. She pressed her lips together, feeling the urge to scratch the back of her head but remaining still. She was trying to pull together some sort of explanation in her head as to why she had assumed so... besides them being twins and a Hammel but was saved again at the boys began introducing themselves.

Izzy glanced down at Uriel's hand and a smile slipped back on her face, taking hold of it and giving just a small customary shake. She wasn't really the type to shake hands but felt it would be awkward if she just squeezed it. It was a nice gesture, honestly it was, just that the girl wasn't really used to much touching. Before she had any chance to really state her name she repeated the process with Gabriel, whom she now noticed the small scar on his cheek. She tried to store this away mentally, Gabriel with the more popular name was indeed more forth going. She liked them both so far, finding that Uriel reminded her more of herself, or the way she was used to acting.... Gabriel however was a bit more of a push, taking a bit more of a lead and someone that people like Izzy and Uriel needed to make them socially functional.

When they announced they were indeed as she assumed, and gave a colorful introduction to it she gave a short laugh of amusement and relief. She knew right now was not the time nor place but she wanted to know more about these angelic twins... another way she associated them with their names. She would do her best to be nice to the boys, she had no reason not too and she was getting accustomed to having company.

They asked about her power and name and her eyes perked up a bit. She wouldn't do anything drastic here, after all she didn't want the entire party to turn it's attention on her, not that they weren't used to such things... She didn't speak for a moment, but drew her hands up in a shielding ball, bringing it to her lips and blowing softly as if bringing something to life under this cover. As she pulled it away a soft glow started to emit around her fingers and upon opening it up there was a small spark just floating there. It flickered for a second before growing, Bella stepping back giving it room as it started twitching wildly growing into the form of a bird, Isabella's own idea of a phoenix. The bird seemed real, as the light that was cast off of it, it flew just around the twins, trails of sparks followed after it just as a firework which fell down on their clothes as ash. After just a moment it seemed to burst into flames and burn itself out.

"My name is Isabella and I am an illusionist." Everything around them was now back to normal and there were no traces of ash or warmth around them now. "I must admit... I don't really know what to do at a party like this..." she looked sheepishly up at the boys, who might have been as lost as she was right now.

[Gabriel & Uriel Raines]

The boys looked at each other, having a quick silent conversation. It was magic. MAGIC was what Isabella did, she thought it was being an illusionist? No, they called that magic. What could they do? They had really great senses and good motor skills and were more intelligent when they were within about a mile of each other.

But Isabella. She was magical.

Those chose to voice it, very gracefully, after having their mouths open for a good long while as the phoenix formed, fluttered and died. "You..." "You're.. Then in tandem, looking at her with wide-eyes. "You're magic!" "You're magic!"

They were immediately interested. As said before, they were just like normal humans only with a few things.. greater than other humans.

"What does it feel like? Uriel asked, asking the question on both their minds. "Oh, unless you don't want to talk about it, of course, and then we understand completely." Gabriel added, politely.

"Oh, and trust us, we don't have any experience with this type of thing either. Well, some parties we go to and we know everyone and it's a lot of fun.." "And then sometimes our parents go to really formal parties and we go to those." Gabriel nodded. "Adults. The love us." He chuckled, Uriel grinning.

"Yes, but we were hoping you're have some idea and would help us, or would have no idea. After all, the more the merrier, right? Gabriel chimed in on the ending with, the more the merrier right?" They smiled. She seemed nice. Also, magical. They liked it. Illusionist, that was just beyond the 'cool' level in their head. Again, magical.

[Fifi Hart]

Once upon a time, Fifi had been quite that bad bitch. Bullying. Drugs. Terrorism. That whole bag. But these days she’d settled out quite a bit. In fact, she’d even gotten back a bit of her old spark since meeting Moe. That darling little boy had definitely but the sassy back in her life, and she couldn’t be more grateful. It had given her the balls back to ditch her babysitter once or twice. Though frankly, she’d been really good. She deserved the ditching.

One thing Fifi hadn’t dared try yet though was go out after curfew. It was dangerous. Really it only earned the average kid detention…but her circumstances were pretty special. If she were caught out where she was going, she’d be totally boned. But she was going anyway. The fire winked at her from her bedroom window, and she could see the dancing shadows of bodies glinting against the flame. She just had to go! It was a party! And Fifi had always tried to be the life of the party.

So she’d snuck out easily, carrying her flip flops in her spindly fingers and still-adjusting her slouchy tank top over her boney shoulders as she scuttled out of the dormitories and towards the pond. When she got there, the crowd had gotten rather large. She was surprised to hear music, glad that it couldn’t be heard from too far. If security found them….God that would be obnoxious. She was surveying the crowd, trying to pick out someone she knew…it wasn’t working. They were all younger, or had transferred in while she was away. Fifi decided then, to just do the best thing she knew how: be loud.

“Who’s in charge of this soiree?” She called, her voice floating through the crowd, infiltrating conversations. Many ignored her, which was fine, but she was hoping whoever’d had this idea would pipe up. She needed to know if this was something cool enough for her to be at…or if she could call in other, older kids to get things kicking.

[Alice Halifax]

The bonfire was a surprise to say the least and Alice was sort of surprised none of the security staff had made a move to put a stop to all the fun going on down by the pond. However, they had been known in the past to overlook certain activities in order to keep the students in a more merry state. After all, it was easier to keep the peace when the students were allowed their occasional wild times. Loud music could be heard from a decent distance away and while Alice wasn't too attached to any one form of music, she wasn't too crazy about what was playing. It mattered little though as the party wasn't about the music, but more about who you could find to have fun with. There were some students here whom Alice found worthy of spending her time with, Isabella Crane being her favorite of the moment.

Dressed in a long black dress and sandals with a white button down shirt, with oh so few buttons actually buttoned, Alice took her time approaching the party. Her bright blue eyes looked over each person which passed her and those she passed in turn, judging them silently to herself. So far, no sight of Isabella and that was beginning to make Alice pout just a little. She had been giving the young woman more than just brief thoughts since their encounter and seeing how their little moment wasn't quite left finished, she was still craving that certain something in particular.

Finally, Alice approached the outskirts of the party, making sure to stay toward the outside of things for the moment. The music was still thumping and blaring with the sound of some chatter among students here and there. She recognized a few faces, smiling at them as she passed. Then, she found the one face in particular she had been looking for, Isabella Crane. However, Izzy was being cornered by a set of identical twins. "Gestalt," she muttered to herself, smiling a bit as she thought back to a set of gestalt twins she had met two summers back. That indeed was a fun summer, but a story for another time.....and for adults only I'm afraid. Slowing her pace, Alice watched Izzy's interaction with the twins, judging her body language and her facial expressions.

Alice had to admit, she felt a bit of jealousy begin to rise in her heart, but nothing to cause her to make a scene (just yet anyway). Stopping Alice stood at the outside of the party, open enough for Izzy to see her if she looked around enough. She would wait for her angel to come to her.

[Isabella Crane]

Isabella was delighted the twins liked the phoenix. Their positive energy was quiet contagious and she found herself putting her hands to her mouth to stifle a happy laugh. Illusions could be magical, however there were those that would not be tricked by her abilities also. She started to tell them she wasn't really all that special, and even though they were really praising her powers, it felt good for a change to actually have someone praise you. To her parents she was almost like a machine, something that would function and do as it was supposed to but you didn't love a machine, you weren't really proud of it doing it's job... (at least most people wouldn't be).

The twins asked Bella what it was like and she bit her lip softly, trying to describe to someone else in words just how she felt. "Well, I guess you could say it's like being engrossed in a book. You have to make yourself feel so drawn into the environment or illusion that you are creating." she paused for a moment shaking her head just slightly as if trying to recall or tell something, "It's almost like taking.. let's say a memory, and just pulling yourself into it. I would compare it to a dream but your own will is what fuels ever single movement of it." She gave a slight sigh, hoping that she could at least give the boys sort of an idea on how it felt on her end. "One problem is if you have something that's really on your mind and you can't block it out... well sometimes I will create images that I do not mean to. I've gotten much better since being here at Hammel but when you obsess about something and it becomes hard to suppress, well your mind takes over what it is made to do naturally."

Bella didn't bother going into the details about it being tiring to keep up for some odd length of time. If someone really wanted to work at a grand illusion they could practice, build up their stamina. It was easier when it was something you casted often, perhaps because your mind finds it necessary for survival or a needed ritual. Also the longer she held an illusion or the bigger it was the more likely she was to develop a migraine. She remembered when she was at school that first year she would often see Mrs.Price wandering about her dorm and tidying up. It could at times be a security blanket if you let yourself believe your lies.

She shook her head quickly, not wanting to talk about herself the entire night. She just got carried away when someone actually asked her about herself. "But that's enough about me. Gabriel... Uriel," she nodded to each in turn a bright smile on her face, "you guys are amazing yourselves. Can you please tell me a bit more about you two and what it's like?" She couldn't imagine always having someone at your side, someone who was so like minded as you. It must be a wonderful feeling to never be lonely! Of course as the pair got older, she heard that one 'mentality' was lost.. That would be the sad part. She tried to think of the whole picture as if they were merely one person with a hot and cold side, the body just trying to tune it in to the perfect temperature. Maybe that was a crappy analogy but off the top of her head water and sound waves.. a radio... was what came to mind.

Of course the twins could be entirely different from those she had read about. And really she hoped that they would be for both boys seemed to have a unique charm about them, no matter how oddly overlapping it may seem.

She was trying to listen intently to the pair when a voice broke out above the crowd. Bella's eyes darted around to see Fifi stomping about the party. It wasn't that Bella didn't 'like' Fifi... she didn't know the girl so that terminology was totally rude. The girl was just too loud for her to enjoy the presence of, at least that's the way she came off ever time Bella seen her. Bitchy and loud... Of course it could also be because Fifi's representation of herself wasn't quiet what Bella would call a lady but that was just her speculation.

As her eyes spun back around to the twins, not wanting to draw any unwanted presences towards herself she caught sight of Alice a ways off at the edge of the crowd also. She almost held her breath but she continued moving her glance towards the ginger boys. She liked her company, she would not move away from them... Perhaps Alice had not seen her yet or perhaps she really didn't want to be seen with the girl. Isabella was tired of trying to pinpoint what was wrong with her that seemed to deflect any type of love.

Bella did catch one thing, they twins mentioned that they went to parties, formal parties. That meant that they had money or pull but she gave no indication of this. Money didn't matter much to Bella, it gave her a comfortable life style but obviously it didn't bring happiness to all. She would not ask about social status, nor would she gossip and tell anyone. She had been to a few of those herself and it was mostly a lot of wine and gossip and some dancing. Dancing was the one thing that Bella knew happened at almost all parties but other than the slow dances with only a few unknown partners she lacked experience to want to boldly try it right now. "I'm afraid I don't know either. I don't really drink, tends to make it harder to control my ability." She pointed at a group of people who were all dancing close together and laughing, some looking a fool but she couldn't fault them because they were just having a good time. "And I'm not used to this kind of dancing."

ooc: Hope I didn't ramble too much.

[Aki Welland]

ooc: you're fine!



Aki smiled and walked around Leo so that she was looking into his blue eyes and not the back of his head now. She had a liking for his blue eyes with thier lighter elements. He was just so..adorable. His worry was just as adorable. He didn't want to get in trouble and didn't want to disappoint anyone. She sighed and gave a light happy laugh ending with a snort.

" Chill Sparky. If we get in trouble I'll say I dragged you here or something and totally take the fall for you. I wouldn't let you get in trouble." And she wasn't lying. Aki had been friends with Leo since she had come to Hammel and would definitely take the fall for him. In fact, he was probably one of her best friends and one of the few people who stayed real friends with her despite the fact she was constantly in and out of trouble, [not to mention detention.] Just as she was about to say something else a voice rolled over the music and the crowd, calling for the ringleader of the party. Well, someone wanted her, they'd get her.

" Hey, I'll be back. Someones calling for me." She gave Leo a wink and started to look for the face. The voice she knew, she just had to think about it. Someone she knew..oh...who was it? The moment the girls face came into view Aki split into a grin. Fifi Hart. She had somekind of tactile power didn't she? Aki wasn't going to try and mind dip now for the info because she didn't have the patience to concentrate. She was glad someone interesting had finally showed up to her little get together, that wasn't really so small now. She saw another person go over by the girl and twins, and knew she had to get over there and say hi.

Aki knew Fifi from a few chance encounters they had and didn't know if they were on the terms of friends or not. She she just decided to act like they were. Not like it could hurt. The darker skinned girl waved her arm over her head and called out " Look no further. If a sort of party maker is what you're looking for then I'm the one you're after." She yelled to the girl. It drew a few stares and whispers from people who didn't know she had set up the party, but she ignored them. Most of the thoughts floating in the air were giving her the idea that people weren't surprised she had set up a party without permission.

" Whatcha lookin for?" She asked with a joking smile still splitting her face.

[Fifi Hart]

Fifi blinked as Aki Welland wandered grinning in her direction. She’d run into her a few times, but nothing major. Barely enough to know her first and last name…and that she wasn’t a bitch. Which was a good thing to know! She’s have run the other way if someone like Mia was in charge of this business…like Mia had a social life.

“Hey Aki! Cool thing you’ve got runnin’.” Fifi complimented, looping her thumbs in the belt rings of her shorts. “I was wondering if I should stick around, the crowd looks kinda young, y’know?” She flicked her long hair from her face and shrugged. “Plus, I was hoping I could call out some of my friends…maybe spice things up a bit with an older crowd?” She shimmied her shoulders and winked playfully at Aki.

[OoC:: SHORT! D: Sorry~.]
