--The Chesepeake Ballroom, 10 minutes to midnight--
A flame-haired young woman, half her pretty face half hidden by a forest green velvet venitian mask, stalked around the large ball, making sure everything was perfect before any guests arrived. She was clad in a simply lovely mid-shin length dress the same color of her mask, but it's hem was decorated with a delicate line of gold fabric.
A young man with hair the color of fresh wheat leaned against the closed double doors, smirking. His own face was obsured by a white mask that covered only half of his youthful face. "Relax, Sio. Everything's gonna be fine."
The green-glad woman, Sio, sighed. "How do you know, Mic? Something bound to go wrong, I just know it...and the guest'll be here any minute..."
((Indeed, the Aiobheann siblings have finally begun their Mardi-gras-thing-wahtever-it-is masqurade(sp?) ball...feel free to have any charrie of yours come along...there are no restrictions to as what may happen!))

Soft footfalls hit the pavement as a man in all black walked towards the home of the Aoibheann's. His cape billowed about him and his obscuring black mask hid his true identity. His spiked black hair covered some of the mask though, so it looked as if it was only half a mask. His thoughts milled over wether or not he should have even bothered coming to this party.

Another black-haired person was waiting at the double doors that let to the ballroom. It was a tan-skinned female, dressed in a slightly patched, shiny black dress made of what appeared to be PVC. Her face was obscured by an eyemask pastered with raven feathers, behind which two chocolate eyes glinted like polished steel.
A smirk traveled across her ruby lips as she saw the man coming. I wonder if he expected little old me to be here...
...
Inside Siobhan sipped the rasperry punch, her red curls bouncing about her face. "Hmm...needs more orange juice..."
Micah sighed, rolling his blue eyes. "Ah, there you go again...relax, woman! It's a happy occasion!"

The man continued walking until he reached the woman. ''Hello.'' He said nodding to her as he stopped at the doors to wait with her until they were let into the ball.

The woman nodded. "Hola." She trilled in her native language, blinking as she watched three more figures walking towards the two.
The one who was leading had hair the color of chesnut's skin, dressed in sky blue silk and a mask of the same color. The other woman had the most beautiful copper-red tresses, and wore black satin gown with an elegantly draping neckline. She pulled on the arm of a man. "Oh, this'll be fun, Dimitri! I haven't seen Sio in forever.
((Hope you don't mind me dragging Dimtri into this...if you do then I can edit it.))

The man named Dimitri groaned. Under his black and silver mask he rolled his eyes. ''I dont think so, more like Ill go suicidal over the whole ordeal.'' He said trying to snake his way away from his wife. He was clad in all black just as the man at the steps where.
The man at the door nodded slowly. He was trying to place the voice to who he knew sounded like that, at the moment he was drawing a blank.

The woman held him tightly, and tutted. "Ah...come on. Sio may be a bit...tempermental, but Micah's a cool guy. I'm pretty sure you'll like him." She said, fixing the strap of her black venitain mask.
The woman in front giggled. "Thea's right, Dimitri, it'll be great...well, it might be a little hectic when Julian, Corey, and the others come...but let's not dwell over that." She encouraged, nearly bouncing in excitement.
The bronze-skinned woman smiled serenly. "8 minutes..." She said, her voice touched with a Mexican accent.

Dimitri sighed and shook his head. ''I hope Nicole hurry's up. How long does it take to park one damn car?'' He said growling. He could see he wasnt getting out of this one.
The man nodded slowly. ''Alright...Im sorry, but...damnit I just cant place who you are..and Im almost positive I know you..'' He said growing annoyed with himself more or less.

The woman gave a mildly dangerous smile. "Probably because you've met me before. I saved your firey-haired lady from a madman. My name is of little consequence...but you can call me Marisa." She said.
...
Thea shrugged. "Well, I'm sure she'll get here eventually. Thanks for coming with me, by the way...I'd have hated to miss a chance to flaunt you." She stood on her tiptoes and gave Dimitri a small kiss before she resumed walking.
The brunette gril chittered on about the party.

Anthony nodded. ''Ah, I see then, well. My name is Anthony, because Im sure you where dieing to know.'' He added sarcastically.
Dimitri chuckled and let out an oomph as he felt something on his back. He almost fell over. ''God, Nicole your heavy.'' he said. Giggling followed and then the weight lifted. ''Sorry, Dimitri.'' Nicole said stepping infront of him. Her mask was red with black trimming and red feathers outlined it. Her hair was curly and her dress was short, to a point it barely covered her bottom, and red like the fire she produced. ''Come on, we are being left behind.'' She said and pulled him behind her towards Thea.

Soon the group had reached the door, and Thea and the brunette woman stood in front of the massive entryway, smiling and chatting about random things.
The dark-haired woman smiled again in that slightly meacing way of hers. "Of, I didn't wonder...I knew, mi amigo." She replied smoothly, then looked at the silver stopwatch she carried with her. "Hmm...6 minutes..."

Dimitri sighed and looked at Nicole. ''May I aks where you got your dress?'' He said raising an eyebrow. ''It looks like something out of a strip club.''He said stiffling a laugh.
Nicole smiled and looked down. Her dress was very low cut, and considering the lack of material, she was surprised she called it a dress. ''I got it on e-bay. I dont know what I was thinking,,maybe it was the fuzzy handcuffs I got with it.'' She said smirking.
Dimitri and her instantly started laughing at this and Nicole was almost in tears.
Anthony smiled. ''Ah...cant wait to stand in a corner.'' He mumbled rolling his silver eyes.

Marisa gave a small chuckle. "Oh? Aren't you going to dance with your fire-haired lady?" She asked innocently.
Vivian looked at Nicky. "Well, personally I would never were it...but the color looks dazzling on you, Nicky." She said, smiling at the woman before turning and rattling a bit more to Thea, who was paitently waiting for the others to arrive.

Anthony chuckled. ''Somehow I dont think I should. Besides, Im not a dancer...I dont even know why I came...I think simly to make sure, my fire-haired lady doesnt get into trouble.''
Dimitri and Nicole had been reduced to tears as they trailed their laughs. ''Ohh...oh god that was good...''Nicole said wiping tears from her face careful not to smear her make-up that she had put on for about te first time in her life. Dimitri sighed. ''Well....who else is coming Thea?'' He asked wiping his own tears away. Just as he said this a man with black hair and black pants on appeared. He had a white and black mask covering his different colored eyes. His strong chest was covered in a red button up that had stitched designs on it that swirled aimlessly. Behind him where two great wings that were folded neatly behind him to look fake, although few knew the truth behind them. Instantly Dimitri and Nicole got quiet. Jaqcues had returned.

Marisa blinked at Jacques, half-frowning, half-smiling. "Hmm...he..." She shook herself and turned back to Anthony. "Ah, I see...well, you see, Miss Aoibheann was my younger brother Armando's partner, so naturally I would be here."
Thea did not look over her shoulder, her face suddenly becoming hard. Her half-bare shoulders visably tensed. Vivian blinked, surprised by the silence.
So she filled it. "Hmm...well, there's the McCauley's, some of Sio's clients, some people from the Cirque...and that's about all whom I know are coming for sure. There were alot of invitations.
