*looks bashfully into Alianna's eyes* Even with a... bunny hanging to one's leg?

(Sure, Erika!)

Alianna giggled. "Kia, would you let go of his leg for just a few minutes?"

*hesitates for a minute as if listening to something*... I have been called... This business will not delay me long. *smiles shyly at Alianna, then steps back and disappears in a sudden burst of flames*

Kia: No.

Erika: You behave Kia, It looks like Kevan might be coming.

Kia: *mumbles* Fine. *Lets go with a sad look on his face*

Alianna smiled and waved slightly at the place Kwah had been at moments before. She looked over at Kia with a smile. "Would you like to dance while we wait for his return?"

Kia: Cobby dead!
Erika: *rushes over* It is ok, he did not die. He is a magician, probably a fire one.
Kia: But what if he isn't? *sniffle*
Erika: He is.
Kia: *watches the spot where his Cob left* *sniffle*

Kia: Sure! *pulls Alianna down and whispers* I saw a guy come in. Can you get him to dance with Erika? 'Cause, if Kevan comes then they will not dance. *starts to dance with her, going towards the guy*

Erika: What are you up to, Kia?

Kia: Nothing. :halo:

Alianna smiles. "You mean Kendrick? He's my brother... getting him to dance with her will be easy," she whispers.
When they get closer, she reaches out one hand and pulls on Kendrick's sleeve. "Kendi."
Kendrick starts, then looks at her. "Yes?"
"See that girl there? Go dance with her."
"Bu-but..."
"Go on, please?" Alianna frowns.
Kendrick sighs. "All right..." He hesitantly walks up to Erika. "Uh..." He coughs. "Pardon me..."

Erika: Yes, may I help you. *she says with a suprised look on her face*

Kia: But what if he figures out that Erika does not want to?

Alianna giggles. "I'm not sure. We'll have to see."
Kendrick clears his throat. "Uh... I was wondering if you would do me the honor of a dance, m'lady?"

Erika: Um... *glares at Kia* But I do not know how to dance... m'lord. *she stutters*

(This would be a horrible time for Kevan to come in.)

The impish and slightly-more-regal-than-she-aught-to-be Time Lady known as The Enforcer and Evil Poker--or Enforcer for short--swung cheerily into the ballroom, clasping her closed umbrella with excitement.
"Erm, it rather looks like this party needs some excitement. I mean, a disco ball, really?" She pointed her Sonic Umbrella at the disco ball and changed the settings to "glow", brightening the room considerably.
"Now, who wants to start a conga line?"

(Bring him in! XD The more the merrier!)

"...oh." Kendrick sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck. "W-well, I could teach you, if you like."
Alianna attempted to keep from bursting into giggles. Then she glances over at the newcomer. "Um... pardon? I don't understand what you're speaking of."

Erika: I do not want to know what that is. Um... Sure.

Kia: That went better than I thought it would.

Kevan: *drops in* * sees Erika chatting with a man* Wait, when Kia is not with me he is always with Erika. Kia!

Kendrick smiles a little. "All right, well..." He starts to teach her (I say it so vaguely because I have no clue on how to dance, XD).

Alianna glances up when someone calls Kia's name. "I think someone is looking for you."

*suddenly appears in another blast of flames* *looks around and then quietly goes and stands in a corner and watches everyone*

"You best go see what that man wants, Kia," Allianna says quietly. "We wouldn't want you to get in trouble." She turns and walks over to Kwah. "Welcome back."

Ssnakes cannot conga. We haven't armss.

The Handsome Gentlesnake: It'ss difficult enough trying to lead.

Kia: KEVAN!!! *rushes over to Kevan, pulls him over to Alianna* Alianna, this is Kevan my friend from way back. *he says as he pulls her hand out* Kevan this is my new friend, we were dancing. *as he pulls Kevan's hand out to shake hers*

Erika: Kevan is so uncomfortable right now.

Kia: Cobby! *rushes over to his Cobby, pulls him over to Kevan and Alianna*
*he keeps saying* You are alive. You are alive.

"Oh my." Alianna laughs, and shakes Kevan's hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you, sir."
Kendrick chuckles nervously. "Yes, it seems like it."

Kevan: Umm... *Kia glares at him* It is a pleasure to meet you as well. *shakes her hand*

Erika: *she is getting better at dancing* This is fun. Kevan does not know what he is missing. *she says with an grin*

*a handsome slightly Asian-looking young man with long black hair steps in and stands in the corner, seeming awkward in his Victorian style suit* My author made me come in here, or else she threatened to take control of her account again. I'm really not good with parties. Or dancing. However, I did see someone insult Owl City two pages ago. That is a grave offense.

Alianna smiles. "Are you enjoying the party?" She glances over Kwah, still determined to teach him how to dance.
Kendrick nods. "Indeed."

*smiles* Thank you, Alianna.
*grins and pets Kia* Yes, I'm alive.

"So, Kwah..." Alianna grins. "Are you ready to learn how to dance now?"

Kai: Does anyone want to... um... dance?

I... I suppose...

The Enforcer sonics the lights in all the corners and illuminates all of the people sulking in the corners.

"Ah, well, no conga line then! How about a game?"

Kai shields his eyes from the lights. "Hey! I hate bright lights!" he retreats farther into the corner. "I just thought it was a dance floor so I had to dance...."


Author insert: Kai's style of dancing is a bit more like gymnastics, if that helps any characters wanting to dance with him. XD Please don't let my dear Kai be embarrassed... ;-)

*the man in the red tie taps his crystal cane on the ballroom floor and begins to dance for no reason*

Kia: *rushes over to the newcomer* What is your name? Mine is Kia. Oh, that went well. *whispers* She only said that because she is in love with Kevan. *stops whispering* And also because our author loves Owl City. Our author is going to get the next disc as soon as possible. *starts to pull him over to the growing group of people*

*very hyperly says* I can dance!!! Do you want to dance with me?

*whimpers* Bright.

Kevan: Agh, bright.

Erika: *tries to cover her eyes* Bright.

Kia: What type of game? *unwittingly pull Kai along*

Kai stumbles along behind Kia. "Hey! Agh.... Okay, I'll dance with you...."

Alianna smiles and takes Kwah's hands. But then she stops and pauses. With a frown and a sigh, she says, "I'm afraid I am needed elsewhere... I will not be able to return tonight. I'm sorry." She pauses, then adds with a grin, "I'll teach you some other time."
She waves to the partygoers, then with another grin, vanishes in a cloud of mist and fire.

Aww, alright. *waves gently* I shall look forward to it. *smiles*

Kia: Yes! *starts to pull Kai in circles*

Erika: Goodbye Alianna! *curtsies* Kevan! Kia! We need to go for now. Goodbye everyone.

Kia: Aww *sniffles* Bye Kai. Bye Cobby. *clings to Cobby*

Kevan: *picks up Kia by the back of his neck* Goodbye, everyone.

*Erika creates a portal, they go through it*


*the portal disappears*

*waves* Bye, Kia!

*slithers toward Kai, followed by the gentlesnake escort* 'Sscusse the interupssion, but don't I have characterss that know you?

*Kia hops through the door excitedly*
Kia: I am back!
*sniffles* Where is my Cobby?
*Erika and Kevan slowly walk through the door*
Kia: My Cobby is dead!
Kevan: Kia, relax.
Erika: Kia, do you want to dance?
Kia: *sniff* Sure. *grabs Erika's hands and dances in his normal way*

*enters late, and slips into an empty corner* *the music is infectious, and she can't keep her feet still* *with a wide grin she begins to wave her arms around her, twirling and spinning in time to the music with no knowledge of what the steps should be*

*slithers out, accompanied by the gentlesnake with the yellow waist coat* Good night, fellowss. There are worldss to be conquered.

*enters and leans against the wall, watching the proceedings*
*grins absentmindedly at people brave enough to dance alone*
I feel as though... normally... I wouldn't dance. But I'm not really sure, *flickers, momentarily appearing as Aodhan, then back to normal* I have this feeling that I like dancing.
*shrugs*
*waits*

*slips in, late, and leans against the wall, listening to the music*

...

*finally, pushing away her shyness, she conjures up enough confidence, and steps out onto the dance floor*

*grabs Bush's hand as it twirls past, and spins with her sister, dancing in time*

Alianna reappears the next morning, in her customary cloud of mist and fire. She looks around, watching the dancers and wondering whether any of the people she spoke to the night before are still here.

Alianna smiles. "You're right. But I think I shall keep my mask on for now... I enjoy the mystery, especially when teaching others how to dance."

"Not usually, but here I do." Alianna grins and twirls around a bit. "You?"

"Oh, that sounds like such fun!" Alianna exclaimed, grinning. "Well, you should learn to dance!"

(I can't dance... but I might learn some Irish folk dances later this year. )

*walks in and looks around*
