Lucy panted a bit, exilarated from her trip about the dance floor and as Isaac left her as abruptly as he joined her, she adjusted her dress -- the straps had fallen during the spinning -- and laid a bewildered hand to the side of her face. He was actually beakoning her to join him. Them.
Standing a bit knock-kneed and agape, she took in the whole room, wanting to remember everything as a goofy smiled filled her flushed face. "Hungry. Right." She giggled and trotted after him, not wanting to give him the chance to change his mind... Besides, the fruit tray looked good!

"Yeah, well. Just watch yourself," Gabby grumbled, plucking at the feathers on her boa. She hated this. Why the ******** couldn't she go home yet? " 'Cause I don't put up with no perverts, you hear me? I don't care if you're already dead, I will re-kill you if the situation calls for it."
Idle threat made, Gabby returned to glaring darkly at the crowd, miserable and discontent as always.
Desi, for his part, smiled beautifically at Brad, resting a hand on his hip and shruigging. "We've all walked into doors before. I mean, I haven't. But I've seen it happen." And proceeded to laugh for a good thirty seconds. That was the advantage of clear glass doors. "I'm Desi - you are?" He extended a hand, raising his eyebrows in polite curiosity.

Allie was more than delighted. She laughed the whole way through and didn't take her eyes off her for an instant, silently soaking it in for remembering later because this was not to be forgotten! Much like a mother that thinks no matter the deformity, their child is beautiful, she thought all dances were spectacular.
Brad was surprised with the amount of people who were nice and offering him napkins. He felt better with a napkin, honestly, than he did with cloth. "Thanks," he told Dusky, in a low voice and then gave Desi a look that could've passed for 'drop dead' when he mentioned that he hadn't walked into a door before. His glare ceased for a little bit, when Desi offered his name.
"Brad." Napkin stuffed against his face, he was not an attractive sight. He was also bent over and grumpy.

Knox blinked several times. What the hell was quiche? He swiped broadly at his face anyway, and smiled, swallowing. "Thanks!" He beamed and offered one hand to each of them, shifting eagerly from one foot to another as if he had trouble staying still. "Great party, huh? Y'all been here long?" He hated to think he'd missed a thing.
He was already balancing on one foot after a moment, the other bending quite flexibly to reach for another plate on the table.

"... Yes'm," July sort of backed away at this point like someone who's found a poisonous snake in his boots, without anything to bludgeon it to death with since he was still in his longjohns. And then crouched down to peek under the table to see where Pence had gone. He looked like safer company. And he probably wasn't liable to grab him and shake him.
Dusky shrugs and mutters a you're welcome before suspiciously peering at when the hell the buffet table just suddenly became such an utterly awesome place to hang out. Feh. At Knox's introduction she just eyed him and said. "Not long. I'm just here for the sammiches."

Charley segued into a moonwalk, ended on a technically admirable version of the splits, and bowed to an invisible audience consisting of the buffet table as she slunk back to Allie.
"Thank you, thank yeewww," she announced proudly to the blonde Russian, happy like a very retarded clam. "And don't let me do the splits again, because my panties are now way up in my a**. I might actually have to kind of get them surgically removed."

Isaac watched the specatcle (of horror) on the dance floor with delighted glee, forgetting for a moment that he was partway through swallowing some sort of delectable he didn't recognize. It was to come back and haunt him, as he soon burst into a loud coughing fit, smacking his chest with an open palm and stumbling round dramatically.
"Gl - ngk," he managed, in that foreign tongue that only the severely oxygen-deprived could manage.
Desi let the glare roll off his back without so much as a twitch, and pulled his hand back neatly when Brad refused to shake. "A pleasure. I'm sure I'll be seeing you later as well."
Because now was the time to beat a hasty retreat for - not even four feet away - stood Desi's quarry.
Slipping with almost unsettling neatness between Basil and Dusky, and pointedly nudging the short woman backwards, he spread his magic little smile across his face and cleared his throat. "Hi-ii, Basil."

"I strongly suggest against using your feet on the plates," Basil informed Knox, rather cheerfully as he offered the approaching Isaac and Lucy a shrimp as well. He even bowed a little, like a gentleman, to Lucy. "Ma'am?" he added, when he offered her the shrimps.
Brad recognized that noise, and knows that Isaac has a penchant for always nearly killing himself. In an instant he was behind him and did the required manuever, doing it a little too hard, perhaps, but it got the job done. It wasn't without it's cursings, either, though, as Brad loudly proclaimed the Isaac was a '******** cow' and needed to chew his food.

Basil recognized that voice. "Hi, Desi, you're usually not so late," he said in idle conversation.
Allie clapped wildly for Charley as she finished up her dance, doing a one-woman wave and all. "That was spectacular, and there is a bathroom or an operating table somewhere nearby I'm sure, if you'd like to get that removed," she replied, jokingly.

Lucy stopped, a piece of pineapple held between her fingers and lips, dumbstruck as what had once been a sulky bluish spot that she had believed was part of the lighting, coalesced into the sulky bluish form of a girl.
She blinked repeatedly, hoping that whatever it was she was now seeing was brought on by the euphoria of being accepted. But she didn't go away, no matter how much Lucy blinked. Instead, she stammered, "Are... are you really there?"

Pence makes a 'shhhhhh' gesture at July when he peeked under. "I'm hiding," he announced, in a loud whisper, very obviously. "Ah accidentally whacked my human in the face with a door, an' he's quite a ragin' beast when upsetted."

If there was one thing Dusky hated, it was nudging. It was another one of those 'HAHA, YOU'RE SHORT AND I'M NOT' tendencies people expressed, and generally stirred within her a desire to see their kneecaps broken, or set on fire.
It also caused her to behave like a six year old and pointedly use her elbows for what they were good for. Shoving people in the ribs. "Oh, I'm SORRY, I was just going to reach over here for this." As she reached across the table table for some cucumber slices rather than just walking around.

Isaac coughed up what was currently crowding his gullet, gasping a few times as his lungs desperately sucked in as much as they could. Then, with his trademark grin, he all but lunged at Brad. Soon his ill-fated roomate found himself the victim of a bearhug, made only tighter by gratitude.
"Braaaad! Thank you! You came, aww - wow, I almost died, that's AWESOME."
"I was getting something," Desi replied, and with an easy movement reached into a pocket and procured a small, metal flask, presumably full of something illegal in most countries. He grinned broadly. "Just don't tell our bosses."

"Fruit salad fixes atomic wedgies, it's in the Bible," Charley assured her confidently, picking up one of the little cups of fruit salad. There was orange-peel garnish; she stuck this on her two front teeth to make Beast Teeth. "C'monsh," she said, around the Beast Teeth. "Now yoush gotta danche."
She prodded the Beast Teeth helpfully with her tongue to prevent lisping. "I'll rate you one to ten! Go!"

Quinny-chan Lucy stopped, a piece of pineapple held between her fingers and lips, dumbstruck as what had once been a sulky bluish spot that she had believed was part of the lighting, coalesced into the sulky bluish form of a girl. She blinked repeatedly, hoping that whatever it was she was now seeing was brought on by the euphoria of being accepted. But she didn't go away, no matter how much Lucy blinked. Instead, she stammered, "Are... are you really there?" "Yes, I'm really there," Gabby replied, narrowing her eyes at Lucy. "Dumbass. What are you ******** stupid? Um, have you totally missed the fact that this is a convention for idiots with Ghosts or what?"
