Oh no, I'M LATE!
I dash through the doors into the party, almost tripping over my own dress. I stumble, and then right myself. How embarrassing. I blush, then look around. My stomach drops as I see all the people. My palms start to sweat through my gloves. This is when I wish my AEs were here. They're so dramatic, but they'd be helpful.
I take a deep breath and charge into the crowd, conversation washing over me as I weave through the flowing fabrics. Oh, good, snacks. I take a toothpick and skewer a piece of watermelon. Then I eat a piece of cake. You can't just eat forever, I think to myself. Is that Giselle? Go away, I think to her.
But maybe I should talk to people. I look around. Someone will have to come to me first, I decide, and go back to eating.

I fidget as I enter the ballroom and squeeze my macarons onto the crowded table. Am I the last one here? Probably. Everybody seems to be in a deep conversation with another CBer.
Poking at the flowers in my hair, I slink to a corner, where I try to hide in the shadows. Maybe no one will notice me? "No, you should socialize," I whisper to myself. "Have fun, Sage. It's a party, after all!"
I am hungry… after a minute more of self pep-talking, I walk back to the food table, where I can see most of the room. Some people seem to be free to talk. I grab a few delicious-smelling brownies and walk over to a CBer.

Sorry I'm late!

Oh, out of the RP for a second, I drew Sunshine and I!!!
-
I race into the mansion's ballroom, hoping no one notices I'm late. I (attempt to) walk casually over to a table holding food, and try to decide what to try. Everything looks so good! A person in a tuxedo gestures to a tray of delicous looking cookies. "Have you tried the raspberry metaways? I made them."
I grab one of the confections and pop it into my mouth. It's an explosion of sweet fruity flavors. I want to be greedy and grab about seven more, but I remind myself to be polite. "I'm Pangolin. And you are…"
"I'm Writing_in_the_Dark," they say.
~~~
This is my first time doing an RP, and I hope I'm doing everything correctly. Am I not supposed to make someone talk or what…? @Writing_in_the_Dark, you can change the dialouge if you want.
-
"I'm Writing_in_the_dark," I say. "You can call me Writing."
I pick up a meltaway and take a bite. I honestly think they are the best batch I've made! I turn back to Pangolin.
"I like your name. Pangolins are a type of animal, right?"
"Yeah," She says.
~~~~~~
This is my first RP, too, @pangolin. Soooooo… yeah. IDK if we're doing anything wrong…?
-
"Yeah," I reply. I eat another meltaway. "These are really good." I look around the ballroom, and my gaze falls on an open door. I can see green hedges and flowers. I guess it leads to the garden. "You want to check out the garden?" I suggest, gesturing in the direction of the door.
-
I smile and nod. "I haven't checked that out yet." We walk over into the garden and I gasp. It's filled with BEUTIFUL plants, even my favorite; lavender. "Wow,"
"Yeah," Pangolin agrees, "It looks really cool."
We walk around for a while, silent, exept for a few (failed) atempts at conversation. I try again to talk about… something.
"I like your outfit." I say, "It's… unconventional." Pangolin looks a little shocked, and I flush red. "No, I… Um. It's good! Pretty! Unconventional is good!"
Gods, my awkwardness is really peeking through tonight. I nerveusly mess with my braid, twirling it.
~~~~~~
Sorry, that was… bad… I feel very awkward today so I geuss that peeked through, like I said in my role playing. O///^\\\O
-
"Oh, um, thanks. I think your tux is pretty cool, too," I reply, and glance around the garden. It's dusk now, and the sky is a dark smoky gray color. The moon is peeking from behind a cloud.
A hedge arch leading out onto the street marks the edge of the garden. I spot a yellow rose on the floor, and pick it up. There's a small rip in one of the petals, but otherwise, it's unharmed. I decide that no one will notice the cut, so I tuck the flower into my hair.
"So, uh, what should we do now?" I ask, turning towards Writing_in_the_Dark. "Should we head back, or…?"
-
"Thank you." I mutter quietly, as Pangolin kneels to get a flower off the ground. They tuck it into their hair.
"So, uh, what should we do know?" They ask, turning towards me. "Should we head back, or…?" They trail off.
I nod. "Sure. I wonder what's going on in there." I look over to the ballroom. "I think… there was a runaway CAPTCHA at some point? So, who knows."

I sniffle, when I hear someone come in.
”Nite? Are you okay
I look up, my eyes are probably red and swollen, but I open the door anyways, and take a deep breath.
”Hi, Peri.” I try to smile and wave a little.
”Hey Nite. How are you? Are you okay? I’m so sorry about your dress, and I know clover is too. She sent xak home in a taxi.”
”I-I will be. I wonder if Win has any extra outfits I could use?”
We walk out of the bathroom together, looking for Win and striking conversation.
-
"Don't worry," I say. "I'm sure Win will let you borrow a dress. And if she doesn't have one or something, I suppose I could make some flowers on your dress to cover the stain, if you want." I smile at her. "And, if you want, you can join me and clover out in the garden. It'll be quieter there."
-
I inhale slowly, which isn't always that easy when you're munching on watermelon. I finish the watermelon, toss the rind in a large trash can just outside the room, I look around, but everyone seems to be talking with somebody or another. I look over and I see that my cookies are going down fast.
Instead of talking with somebody, I walk out quietly to a large garden, The sun just set, and solar archway lights have turned on. I smile. Agent Winter did a great job with this ball. I start quietly singing a song to myself, making sure to smell every type of flower.
This wasn't so bad.
-
I race in as gracefully as I can, hoping no one will notice how late I am, because I really don't need to explain the incident with Gemma. I'm still a bit on edge, not fully trusting Scarlett and Alyssa with the job I gave them, and I hope this party will distract me. I look around the see of faces, searching for someone familiar that I can make conversation with. I spot Honeybee by the food table and get myself a slice of apple pie before joining her. "Hi," I say.
-
"Ok, jewels, check. Dress, check. Tiara, check. Extra-special shoes, check. Ok, I'm ready to go!" I said, as I went into the ball room.
I saw somebody teleportin' around, and I decided to talk to them.
"Hey." I said.
"Oddyo! I mean–" The person– I think it's dreamiing– says.
"Hey, are you part Enderman? I'm not that fluent in Enderman, but you just said 'hey', correct?" I said.
"Yeah. Hey, how did you know I was part Enderman? Aside from my talking, of course." dreamiing says.
"Are you kiddin'?! I LOVE Endermen! They're awesome! Plus, I saw you teleportin' around." I said.
dreamiing walked away, and I saw Agent Winter. I walked over to her, and started talkin'.
"Happy, happy, happy Cbversary, Agent Winter!" I said.
-
"Hi Win! Sorry I'm a bit late, you know how it is with the studies! Wow, you've really outdone yourself this time! Oh and again, happy late CBversary!"Agent Winter greets me back and comments on the amount of new faces around us. I agree that much can happen when your inactive, and scan the room for my friends. Ahh, I've spotted some anti-socials. Time to do my duty as mom friend and uber extrovert.My dress swishes around my feet as I drop my food offerings off at the huge banquet table and grab a piece of watermelon. A couple feet away is Lumi, who looks like she's having a debate with either herself or the trash/recycle bin? I walk up to her and she asks, "Um, hi, do you know if this is recyclable? It has watermelon juice on it and I wasn't sure if that made it unrecyclable or…""Hi Lumi! Long time no see!! Hmm, I think, since it's dirty, it has to be recycled? I don't really know though, I'm certainly not an expert on these things."She seems to blush as she throws the napkin in the trash, but her face lights up as she looks over my shoulder."Hey, is that Quill? I love their dress.""Oh it is, and me too! I wish I could pull off that color as well as them! Let's go say hi!"I grab Lumi's hand and practically pull her along with me to Quill, who is comfortably sipping a milkshake some feet away."Hey Quill! I love your dress! Are the milkshakes any good?""Hey y'all!"We all chat for a minute, talking about the mansion, our fellow CBers outfits, the food, and how many new faces there are around lately."Have y'all been outside in the gardens yet? I wanna check out the flowers!"We all walk out into the gorgeous courtyard, and I flit around checking out the plants as my friends watch in good-humored amusement. Suddenly, I heard someone gently singing a sweet tune. I round the bush corner and see Alex smelling some Lillies and looking beautiful in her navy dress. I stand silently and listen until she seems to finish. I lightly applaud, and she jumps a bit."Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you!"————————————————————————————————————Sorry to write a bit for y'all, Lumi and Quill, it's hard to hold conversations without writing anything for anybody!
