Airship-grand ballroom “I'm just... ugh...” Didymus raised an eyebrow, curiousity piqued. “We have our orders. Eyes peeled, gentlemen. We have no idea what the threat could be, or if it's real, but we need to stay on our toes.” Didymus nodded. "Of course. But I've already got questions...like would an assassin even TRY to come into the ballroom? Wouldn't they try to hit the engine room and bring the whole ship down? I suppose they'd try to eliminate their target personally if they want confirmation, at least AFTER they bring the airship down...but still...and two..." He paused, clearly hesitant. "...is our being here going to have...repercussions? Your sisters did NOT look happy to see us, and I'd rather not earn House Malvin's ire... Meanwhile, Alice's sisters had dispersed into the crowd. They were keeping an eye on their youngest, the middle sister glaring daggers as she conversed with her fellow soldiers, and trying to shield her from any rumors that would be spreading... Didymus looked around. "That...man with the white suit is looking around a perimeter of his own..." he said. He was too far away to see the man's rank insignia. |

-Airship Ballroom- Maize was ran into, stepping back, pausing. It took more then an accidental push to knock her over. “Oh, sorry!” she said, “It was my fault too...I wasn't paying that much attention.” Maize paused, then looked at Rock, frowning. “...Your tone...your pitch...” Maize said, then raised an eyebrow, “And your stance...” "I'm sorry about him!" Her eyebrow stayed raised. “Him?” “...Why are you wearing a dress?” Maize asked. “Yes, we found it!” Hammah said, grinning, “Though we don't have any fancy clothes...I don't know how we'd sneak unto the ballroom without being seen...” Galv wiped his face down, then went to the faucet and mirror, attempting to do something with his hair, but gave up. It was a losing battle. “Yah, I know how to dance. My dad taught me,” Galv answered, “And what if she wants to dance with me? That wouldn't be bad, would it?” “The engine room would be a very stupid place for an assassin to go,” Samuel said, shaking his head, “There would be engineers there...And many engineers have an ability. Walking into there to sabotage the ship means they'd be more prepared then we could deal with alone.” |

[Airship Ballroom] Roll had not quite paid attention when she spoke. She was so used to thinking of Rock as a him... and now she had to sweat drop. “Gaaaah! Um... He... likes the way the breeze feels?” Roll suggested, probably not helping in the slightest. […] The Major, having completed a loop, drank the last few drops of his cherry drink. He grinned a bit, left the glass on a table, and walked off into the crowd. […] Alice shook her head. “Don't be concerned with the Malvin house. Our only concern should be on our mission.” Alice sighed a bit, but perked up when the conversation turned to a possible assassination. It was a good distraction. “The engine room is well-guarded. There's armed soldiers, and like Samuel said, most of the engineers have powers.” |

Airship ballroom "Oh yeah...engineers and THAT aspect of them..." Another reason why those who DON'T have those strange abilities have trouble getting a decent job... “Don't be concerned with the Malvin house. Our only concern should be on our mission.” Didymus chuckled. "Respectfully, lady Alice, it's not your house so much as my own backside I'm worried about..." He straightened up. "...but yes, we must focus on the mission." Listen to how she brushes it off while her sisters give you death-glares. She'll at best wave her little letter-opener at them when they make their move before abandoning you to whatever fate her family's rancor dictates...blasted aristocrat. Typical. He sighed, then returned his gaze to the crowd. |

-Airship Ballroom- "Oh yeah...engineers and THAT aspect of them..." “...My son is an engineer...with a power,” Samuel frowned, “So was my wife...” He sighed, shaking his head, then looked into the crowd. Maize frowned. “...You two snuck unto the party, didn't you?” Maize said suddenly, “Any reason why?” She wasn't too worried if they were here to do something bad. She'd rip out their spines. Maize's dad made sure she could defend herself. |

Airship Grand Ballroom Rock sighed. The jig was up. "Well... we just wanted to see what it was like to ride onboard an airship.", Rock said. "I'm sorry if we're causing you any trouble. We really didn't mean any harm." Rock really didn't want to cause any trouble, and was regretting putting on this disguise (for more than one reason). Though, he was hoping they'd still be able to say onboard, for Roll's sake. |

[Airship] “My house can't do a think to you,” Alice frowned a bit, looking to Didymus. “I can understand having to remind THEM that they have no sway over military affairs, but I'd hope a office of my equal rank would know not to be pushed around by an aristocrat whose never had a hard day's work in her entire pampered life.” Alice does not comprehend irony. She paused, however, when Samuel spoke of his wife... in the past tense. “Your wife was...? Does that mean... Oh, I didn't know... I'm so sorry.” […] Roll frowned a bit and rubbed her neck. “We didn't sneak in to cause trouble... I just... my whole life, I've loved machines... trains, cars, tanks... airships especially. I just wanted to be on one, for once...” |

Airship-ballroom "...have I somehow offended you?" Didymus asked when Samuel spoke up. "If so, I apologize, and hope your son enjoys and does his job well, and as for your wife..." Didymus paused, choosing his words carefully. "...my condolences, for whatever they be worth." “My house can't do a thing to you. I can understand having to remind THEM that they have no sway over military affairs, but I'd hope a officer of my equal rank would know not to be pushed around by an aristocrat who's never had a hard day's work in her entire pampered life.” "With all due respect, lady Alice, I think you underestimate the abilities and influence of your own social class..." Didymus said. You must CERTAINLY do... "...but if I have your word that I'm safe..." he chuckled a bit, shaking his head. "...thank you. I must confess, just BEING here amidst the aristocracy has my adrenaline flowing and a sense of tension or nervousness stirring inside me..." |

Airship "You just said you want to dance, so go dannnccce! No need to hang out with me and be bored all night" To enphasize her point she gave the boy another push towards the girls, who responded with a few high pitch giggles. "Even if they are obnoxious maybe their dad's have some connections" Crystal then stepped in front of Sama, going over to the girls with her drinks in hand. "Would you all like anything?" One of the girls, a dark-skinned young woman with her hair tied in an intricate knot rolled her eyes. "No thanks....Is that your brother?" Crystal couldn't help but to laugh "Oh! No no no, just a friend" "Makes sense" The girl replied, eying Sama similarly to a lion eying dinner. "He wants to dance with you" Crystal told the girl. "He thinks you're pretty" Um. No he doesn't Crystal. Too bad now. The girl grinned a bit, stepping past Crystal and stopping in front of Sama. She gave a small curtsey for a moment before holding out her hand in expectation of him taking it. "Well? Let's dance" [...] Sophie wasn't sure if she was supposed to talk. She had heard that for the elite the guy was supposed to do all the talking...But if she let Soony do that she feared she would be kicked out in three seconds. "Spoony is correct! I am very graceful! I dance ballet on my free time, buy pretty dresses, and eat with fancy little forks" That's all she knew about rich people. [...] "Trust me, you don't want to get too close to Melanie or you're going to have to meet our mother" Jason groaned again, leaning against the sink. "And anyways she doesn't want to dance with you, she doesn't even know you!" [...] "I wonder if he would want to dance with me..." Melanie mused, still waiting for the boys. [...] Colette thought for a moment "Maybe we can pretend we work here! " she tried, now curious to how they were going to get down. |

[Airship] Sama had no idea what was going on. One moment he was talking to his friend and the next she was talking to these strange girls, and now some girl with a fancy knot in her hair was expecting Sama to dance with her. What had just happened? “H-Huh? Oh... y-yeah...” Sama didn't want to be rude... he let out a sigh and took the girl's hand. […] "...thank you. I must confess, just BEING here amidst the aristocracy has my adrenaline flowing and a sense of tension or nervousness stirring inside me..." Alice frowned. “And you think I want to be here? I'd much rather be in my office, or better yet, out in the slums doing something to help those people, like I'm supposed to be... but we have our orders.” She sighed a bit, and took a swig of punch. |

Airship-ballroom “And you think I want to be here? I'd much rather be in my office, or better yet, out in the slums doing something to help those people, like I'm supposed to be... but we have our orders.” Didymus paused. "...yes, both of those activities may be favorable, and yes, we do have our orders...and I do appricieate that effort at solidarity, but I doubt you have the same edginess that I have here...you just don't want to be here. I'm..." he chuckled. "...I'm legitimately nervous." He grabbed some punch and took a swig himself. "...I'm sorry. I know, I shouldn't be talking like a coward, at least not in the middle of a mission, right? Anyway, should we just be standing here, or should we be looking around, or can we see well enough from here, or what?" He paused. "...and your sister can't stop giving us death glares. Great. That's putting me at ease." he chuckled. |

-Airship Ballroom- Maize frowned, looking at the two. “Alright, fine...I'll keep quiet,” Maize said, “As long as you two don't try anything...” She paused, then frowned, “You're going to be found out...If anyone gives you any trouble, tell them you work for R&V Industries. You're here as Maize's helpers, okay?” “It's fine...” Samuel sighed, shaking his head, “You didn't know...Can't blame you for that. Just remember that people with abilities are still people...” He looked around the room, not noticing any immediate threats. “One of us should always be sure to stay near Alice, at least,” Samuel said, “Since we're masquerading as her extra security...” “I don't mind meeting your mom,” Galv said, “My mom was really nice...” He paused, putting the washcloth away, then smiled, “Besides, you have to let me at least ask her! You never told me you were rich, so you owe me!” He just wanted to dance with the girl. “We'll need disguises then,” Hammah said, thinking. Hopefully this won't end with Hammah in a dress. |

Airship ballroom “You didn't know...Can't blame you for that. Just remember that people with abilities are still people...” "Of COURSE I remember that." Didymus said. "Of course. I must admit I puzzle as to the origin of such things, and I think that those abilities are a source of considerable social tension, or at any rate have the potential to be, but I know they are people too. Make no mistake." “One of us should always be sure to stay near Alice, at least. Since we're masquerading as her extra security...” Didymus paused. "True, but we may be able to cover more ground if we split up, and again, her sisters CLEARLY do not approve of our presence here...and I can't help but get the impression that we ARE attracting looks here and there...and I DON'T mean courtly ones. Still, if we do stick together, that would make, perhaps, for easier organization if things get dicey..." |

[Airship] Alice turned on Didymus and narrowed her eyes once more. “I told you to ignore my sisters! They're not our concern. Now stop being so insecure. If you can't take this kind of atmosphere, then leave before the ship takes off. You're not helpful if all you'll do is complain. I have plenty I'd like to complain about too, but I'm trying to stay focused on what's really important.” […] Roll sweat dropped again, and gave a little bow to Maize. “Thank you. I appreciate you not turning us in...” |

You're not helpful if all you'll do is complain. I have plenty I'd like to complain about too, but I'm trying to stay focused on what's really important.” ...THIS is...you were kind of asking for it. But still. This is always how it is, isn't it? If you're noble and brave, you'll be faced with and looked down on by corruption and vice. If you show weakness, then someone will look down on you for a profession of a higher standard... He sighed. ...but she's right. I have to focus. Complaining isn't going to help. Of course, not like an aristocrat would care what happens...and that's what's going to happen. You're going to give this task what you can, do your duty honorably, and you'll get the same reward as last time...still, if that is indeed the case...so be it. "...you're right, of course." he said at long last, although far from enthusiastically. He took another deep breath, downed another drink, and straightened up, scanning the crowd again. "Just because I'm edgy doesn't mean I can't put up with this. I know my duty." |
