/Chai\

/Oliver runs over and tackle hugs me. I return the hug, and smile. "/Hi, Oliver! I love your costume. You look just like Sasha!\"\

;Vo;

;WAIT–Did somebody say Sasha? To the person who's wearing a costume that looks a lot like Sasha from Amphibia?!;

;And instantly I'm right next to Chai and her friend, who I believe is named Oliver. ";HI! I LOVE YOUR COSTUME! IT'S SO COOL! Is Sasha your favorite character? My favorite character is Marcy. Anne and Marcy's costumes for No Big Deal are so amazing.;";

~~

I hope this isn't too pushy, I've just kind of always wanted Vo and Oliver to meet. If you'd rather not have them interact, however, that's okay!

:Ellerie:-

:For a few minutes, Meg, Ever, and I just talk and wait for guests to arrive. And then they start rushing in as a group, and I guess the party's started!:

:The guests coming in through the door are a blur, I can't make out any faces. Well, until they're right in front of me, which is where a very familiar face ends up.:

:"#Hi,#" Tempest says. It's always cool to see Tempest's different appearances. Right now, I'm kinda drawn in by their eyes. They look really cool from the effect of the look that the irises and pupils' colors almost… switched, I guess? No matter the appearance, Tempest always has great eyes. ":Hi!:" I say, kinda not knowing what to say. I subtly step away from Starli's other AEs. ":How're you? Care for a tour?:":

That was oddly hard to write… huh. Weird. Anyways. 

Shawn-

An AE and their CBer come up to us. The CBer introduces herself as Periwinkle, the AE who wandered through the door as Vo, and the AE that's wriggling out of her grasp as Chai. "Cool!" Ever replies. Periwinkle also apologizes about Vo. "Nah, it's ok. I'm Shawn, this is Ever, the one who looks kind of like a princess is Meg, and Ellerie's the one in the witch hat. And you know Starli, of course," I say, somewhat awkwardly.

Ellerie steps away with someone eventually, and Ever tells me he's going to the snack table. He says he wants someone to go to the snack table eventually or maybe someone will already be there so he can be their friend. "Okay," I say. "I'll be here." 

!!! Ladybug !!!

I head immediately to the snack table. Last time I was at an AE event was at the Support Group…and there wasn’t anything left except one pathetic chocolate chip cookie and a cupcake on the ceiling. So nobody can blame me.

Ooooooooh candied apples! I’ve never had them before but they look really great. 

I bounce up to the AE handing them out. “!!! Hello! Can I have one? !!!” I remember just in time and add, ”!!! Please? !!!”

I decide not to take out my box of rubber spi–chocolate kisses yet.

^| Natalie |^

Ladybug has naturally headed straight to the snack table and is eyeing a candied apple and Kaela looks like she’s going to sink into the floor just because someone’s talking to her. Poor thing, she’s so shy. 🙁 Lyric’s just standing near the entrance, also really shy because there are so many CBers and AEs, and she doesn’t really know any of them that well.

Then I am aware of someone tapping on my shoulder. She is wearing a long green skirt. I wonder what her costume is? “^| Thanks! My name’s Natalie, but you can call me Talie or Tal for short. What’s your costume?|^

^Ame^

^Lazuli raises her hand to knock on the door, but I push it open before she gets the chance. "Amethyst!" she scolds. "Don't just invite yourself in."

I frown at her. "We were already invited, and this is a party not some fancy event!" Inside are so many people, all dressed in colorful costumes.  I'm surrounded by music and voices.  I catch a glimpse of the large spread of the snack table and decide it is exactly where I need to be. "Hey, I'll put the food down," I say, taking the chili, chips, and lemonade we brought from Lazuli and Carnelian, exellently balancing them on top of each other.

Standing at the table is what appears to be a large ladybug with a cute witch hat balanced precariously on her head. "Hi!" I greet her. "I'm Amethyst, but you can call me Ame – ooh, are those candy apples?!"

Lazuli

I suppose I should find the hosts and thank them for inviting us, now that Ame has run off with the food.  Unfortunately, I can't seem to find Starli or her AEs at the moment.  I notice a person with long green hair and a witch costume standding off to the side.  They seem like they could use someone to talk to, like me.  But I also don't want to intrude if they want to be by themself…

I walk over to her, but stand a little ways away from her.  She smiles when she sees me. "Hey!  I don't think we've met before."

"Yeah… parties aren't really my thing, but here I am.  My name's Lazuli, it's nice to meet you."

I don't want this to die, but I've only written Cassidy and Oliver's parts, so I'll post Tempest’s later!

Oliver

I smile even wider. “Thank you!” I say to who I think is Vo, Chai’s… Brother? Friend? I don’t really know, one of Periwinkle’s other AEs. “My favorite characters are actually Marcy and Sprig, but I thought since I already have a lot of red stuff, this costume would be easier to make. And it’s so pretty!” I twirl around a few times and laugh.

“And you’re Steven, right?” I ask, “I mean, your costume. Unless I was wrong about your actual name and you’re actually named Steven, which would make your costume 10 times better!” I laugh again.

-Cassidy-

-“-Same here,-” I smile, “-My name’s Cassidy.-” I almost held out my hand to shake, but then reconsider, thinking it’s too fancy. My eyes fall to her costume; a blue sailor outfit. “-Did you make your costume?-” I ask, “-It looks really good.-”-

I readjust my camp half-blood necklace, nervously scanning the room. I don't really know anyone else here besides Silver- well, except for Cassidy, who I've technically never met before. I'm contemplating whether to walk over to the snack table when I finally spot them, talking to another AE in a sailor costume. I walk over to where they're standing (wow, Cassidy looks even cooler in her witch costume up close), and say, "Hey! Sorry for interrupting, I just don't know anyone else here so I thought I'd come over and talk to you. If that's okay." Shoot, I'm definitely blushing right now. I hope she doesn't notice. 

Ever-

Im really bored.

I don't really know anyone here, honestly. I wish Quinn was here. We haven't talked much yet, but she and I were shipped when I was Snowman and… nothing's really happened so far. I don't know if she likes me anymore, but I still like them.

I shrug off my thoughts and try to search for someone to talk to, but most people seem to be talking to people. Except someone in Mako's noisy monster form from Selection Project!!! I run up to her. "Hi! I like your costume. Do you wanna go in the maze?"

:Ellerie:

:Before Tempest has a chance to answer, someone comes up to us and asks to be shown around. ":of course!" I say. And off we go, the three of us. I show them everything, the kitchen, living room, dining room, all of the rooms with bright red doors, and other stuff. But not my bedroom, since that's kinda weird. When we've finished, I ask the person who came up to us, ":So… what's your name?:":
