(Cool, definitely was imagining his voice as something else)
Tira looked at the dancers and then back at Valen with a mischievous look, "you should dance too."
"I would rather not."
She made a pouty face at him. "pwease?"
"No, I am quite alright."
Tira stared at him for a moment more until she finally decided he was too stubborn tonight. "Oh well."
Balthier who was sitting beside them smiled and then downed the rest of his drink, "don't make me regret this." He got up and held out his arm to Tira, she smiled gleefully. "May I have this dance my lady," he said with his most charming smile.
"Yes you may," Tira replied.
At the other end of the table Zark was downing drinks with ease. "Yah, never'll beat meh." Already his words were getting slurred.

Lily played the flute not sure if she would get with the beat as always but her confidence was raised as she got into it very easily. Thats how it always happened she wondered if bard magic was natrual for her and it just went on its course as it caught on. She never remembered having trouble with music, although it had taken that fact of it being pointed out for her to realize that it was magic.
She smiled at the dancing and at Benvolio's singing. It was a very fun time.
Vhaidra didn't feel much was this suppose to get her drunk? Then it all hit her at once as she was drinking the last of another tankard the room started to spin. Setting down her drink carefully (although she had managed to shatter it with her strength without noticing it.) not knowing what was going on she felt pretty sick. "Whats wrong...?" Was what Vhaidra thoguht she said but she had only given a mumble of slurred words that sounded nothing like that before she hit face first into the wooden table. At least she had managed to miss the glass that she had broken. Although her hand had a small cut on it.
"The dark lady has fallen." He said to Valen gently. "Should I do something? Cryoalpha can carry her but he wants to see Eoma win chances are 77.9% Eoma will win."

Valen looked over at Vhaidra, "she will be fine. We can take her back after the game." Valen then cocked an eyebrow at Cryoalpha, "are you a betting man? I will wager Zark will win for 100 dollars." He was mostly joking and didn't really care if he won or lost the bet.
Zark's head was spinning. This girl raised by Dwarves was pretty good, even though she wasn't a Dwarf herself. "Ye'll be amost dun Dwarfy girl," were the words that came out of Zark's mouth, which actually wasn't too far off from what he thought he said.

Cryoalpha thoguht over the odds in his head. "I possess no money but I will be able to pay you later if you do happen to win. Which I doubt severly. So 77.9% chance we won't even have to worry about me paying you." He was cocky in his calculations. Those were numbers he could bet on much lower and he might have to worry about it.

At the dwarven drinking song Eoma nearly jumped out of her seat. As she swung a few tankards back, she danced in her seat, somehow managing not to spill any as if she was used to this. Her dancing soon because more and more wild and she began to sway. As Vhaidra fell over she raised both arms in the air "YES!!! One to go!" After a laugh, she chugged down the rest of the drink she was holding while staring at Zark. "Not even closh!" She slurred while stabbing him in the chest with her finger, "You about to tip over too?"

Zark's mouth hung open as he stared at her like she had just turned into a giant talking tomato. He looked dumbfounded back at his next mug and chugged it down too. Then he dropped the mug to the ground and fell backwards, crushing the wooden chair underneath him.
"Oh well, that shows me to go up against one who calculates for a living," Valen said as he handed the roll of cash to Cryoalpha.
Balthier and Tira came back from their dancing and Balthier looked over at Vhaidra and Zark. "So, who is going to carry Zark?"

Cryoalpha ate the money as soon as it was handed to him. "Thank you Valen." He stood up. "I shall carry Zark." He was meant to be able to hold up engines and other equally heavy things. "Cryoalpha doesn't calculate for a living." He seemed amused by that thought. "Its just my personality to like to know the odds."

The fun and festivities was interrupted by a loud bang from up in the sky, and then followed by several more loud bangs. Balthier looked up, "sound like 500 pounders, unless the Elves have come into the tradition of celebrating with cannons I would say there is a battle going on." As they stood there more cannon shots were heard high above. They went outside and they could see flashes from the cannons of the airships.
***
The Imperial Airship captain had waited long enough for Janet, so he ordered his ship and the other cruiser with him to move in and engage the Eves to rescue the missing Prince. But the foolish Elves could see just as well in the dark as they could during the day and they saw the Imperial warships several miles off. Now the two forces were exchanging broadsides.
The two Imperial ships each carried a small compliment of biplane fighter-bombers and soon those were in the air and flying in to drop bombs on the Elvish ships. High above, hiding in the clouds, were ancient warriors from another time but they were still very efficient in their craft. 12 Elves riding on enormous Eagles dropped towards the fighters that they saw as well as their mounts. Each Elf carried a longbow and in the hands of these highly skilled warriors they were deadly accurate. The Elves aimed for the pilots of the planes and none missed their mark. 12 planes now fell towards the forest below, to be swallowed up and forgotten by the magic of the wood.
Now that the fighters realized they were not alone in the skies they swerved in every direction. They tried futilely to see the their attackers. Some fired blindly into the night, but they weren't even close in hitting the Elvish War Eagles.
***
As the cannon and machine gun fire increased Balthier got a little bit worried, "I think we should head back to Red Dawn till things settle down."

Janet cursed up at the sky as she was looking around the forest for clues. She had found paw prints of a cat. Which was a great clue and it seemed there was more then one cat here. But that meant little to Janet she could follow them well enough. But with ships falling from the sky she couldn't tell if she would be safe in the forest. Remembering the spot she would come back to later in the day she retreated.
They had been stupid not to wait for her return but as well not only did this look bad on them it did on her as well. She would have gone into a fit of rage if she had been there to do so. The elves however seem to be doing a fine job killing the idiots. As Janet could see when she looked up from a tree branch she had climbed to determine a safe spot for rest.
Frey Frey panicked and turned invisible at all the booming. Music had stopped and the forest was not fun anymore. Her mind wandered to her safety. She fluttered around uncertianly when she ran into Janet and almost crashed to the ground. With the force she had been flying it knocked her silly. Which made her appear.
Janet felt the small bump and easily caught Frey Frey before she fell to far. "Well looky here." She sat down on the branch she was on.
Frey Frey shook her head and sat up recognizing Janet instantly as the sweet girl that saved her before. "Keep me safe Janet!" She dove into the frills of Janet's dress and disappeared.
"Yea no problem I am staying here til morning anyways wake me up then okay Frey Frey?" Janet starightened her dress out and jumped down from the tree branch to lean against the trunk and sleep. Janet would think over what she would do to the soldiers. If any punishment came to her out of this she would surely have her blood.
"Mkay." Was the muffled reply. Frey Frey was frightened and shivering in the safety of the dress. Completly forgetting about Julian again with all the stuff going on.
There was nothing else to do but fume over this and rest some for she was going to need some rest and Janet couldn't ask questions with everyone uptight about the war raging overhead.
~~~
Cryoalpha grabbed up the orc although it was a bit weird with Cryoalpha's form being so small compared to the orcs. Cryoalpha did manage to pick the orc up with ease though and make it work out so he wouldn't drop him. "Yes let us go. Cryoalpha has a bad feeling in the pit of his anatomy."
Lily had to shut her ears almost it seemed like everything was very loud. Then she realized it was getting pretty late itself and she would have to return to her room quickly anyways. Her eyes were already seeing diffrently. Damn the moon that stayed full for more then one night!
"Lily does not look well either is she sick as well?" Cryoalpha asked as he waited for someone to open the door for him for he couldn't with carrying Zark. This was starting to add up to a lot of durnk people Cryoalpha thought to himself.

Valen picked up Vhaidra since he was the next strongest person here. When Cryoalpha mentioned Lily he looked at her and she did not look well. Valen had almost forgotten with the Ellcrys that tonight the moon would still be pretty full. "She will be fine once we get back to the ship," Valen replied, not wanting to bring attention to the potential seriousness of this situation.
Balthier held the door open for everyone and then they hurried off to the landing platforms.

As soon as the door opened Luna was going bonkers. Meowing and clawing at the pantry door then pacing she meowed at them all as they came in but Lily didn't have time to listen.
"I've got to go." She said hastly and ran off to her room but she yelled back. "Can you feed Luna please?" Considering that to be Luna's problem.
Luna followed her down the hall meowing to Lily. "Lily! There is someone in the food closet!"
Lily stopped her return to her room. She felt a shiver down her spine but pushed it back for a moment. Taking a deep breath she turned around. "Valen... Luna says someone is in here. In the pantry. I know you understand I don't have time for this right?" She was getting natrually irratated but not meaning to be. Holding back her werewolf emotions she frowned at herself. "I'm sorry Valen... I didn't mean to snap."
She lifted Luna up and gave her a kiss on the head. "You play nicely Cryoalpha will feed you and take care of you he has been wanting to. Let him pet you."
Luna meowed unhappily and jumped from Lily's arms.
Cryoalpha set Zark back down in his room on what he thought might be his bed.... there was a lot of stuff in his room stacked up. Cryoalpha then returned to the kitchen. Seeing a little cat meowing up at him. With excitement he picked her up and patted her on the head. "Oh kitty allows me to touch it now!"

"It is quite alright," Valen replied. The thought of someone on board disturbed him, so he set Vhaidra down on a couch in the living room and went to the kitchen.
(Everyone please stay away from that kitchen door please, we will take care of the stowaway later)

Benvoilo headed for his own quarters quietly while the others were getting settled. The night had been fun. He had had almost as much to drink as the competitors but was not showing it yet; the legendary elven constitution keeping him steady. Lots of drinks, dance, and more then a few bottoms pinched not the least of which was his own. As he flopped down on his bed he felt an itch behind his ear. Before he could move to stop it a paper wrapped brick sailed out from behind his head. Normally one would take this to mean an anrgy mob was behind them, but seeing as how he was currently laying horizontal on a bed in a skyship Benvolio could only stare in puzzled amazement as the brick reached the peak of it's accent and dropped into his crotch.
Having achieved the life long goals of all bricks it settled into a happy single brick pile while Benvolio promptly rolled off his bed cursing and screaming. Swallowing some of his own vomit he was suddenly aware that he was quite drunk and decided that the elven constitution could be dammed. Letting the nice haze of drink overtake him he slumped to the floor. " Alwa's ah criret t'rowing shtuff. jerksh."
( even notice that high elves will stay upright regardless of how messed up they are . At least till they just drop dead. Anyway people can come check up on his if they heard the yelling and swearing. Otherwise he will be MIA till something happens or he wakes up and checks the brick/note/instrument of pain.)

Vhaidra was knocked out cold and probably any amount of magical singing might not be able to get rid of a first timers hang over completly. She would wake in the morning though.
Lily heard something in Benvolio's room happen. Curiousity peaked her intrest. Her werewolf ears swiveled toward the room but Lily was still human enough to understand walking out half changed might alarm more then one person. Benvolio's room wasn't far though and by the sound of it no one was near the hallway. She placed her ear against the door.
Fighting instinct to go out and see the noise for what it was. She kept telling herself she was safe in the room and others were safe from her. The werewolf side didn't really like this whcih was built on having fun, getting into fights, and running under the moonlight. There was no real danger it told her. She could take on most things like this. She had her claws and heightened senses and could move fast.
Lily wasn't worried about herself she was worried about others running into her like this. She looked weird and like a monster. Didn't they have another person who changed halfway? That seemed to dig at her. So she peeked outside of her room, admiting defeat to curiousity and her werewolf side, and saw no one outside the hallway. Hurrying she opened up Benvolio's door and went in and closed it behind her.
She had left her door open though just in case she had to run back in there quickly. Turning aorund she saw Benvolio on the ground. She shook him lightly. At least in this light she could hide her ears behind her head, elves however could see in the dark and Lily hadn't anticipated that. Her eyes were slitted and her hands were furry and clawed. It was the only things out of place on her as well as her ears.
"Benvolio are you okay?" Lily asked in a rougher voice then her usual. Maybe he had just passed out... she wanted to go back to her room but she stayed. She liked the smell of him. He smelt and looked like he would be really good, as well he was helpless right now...... Shaking her head no Lily tried to focus.
Cryoalpha was having fun playing with Luna and after a while she seemed to have fun as well. He would tickle her stomach lightly and know he was being to rough when she would bite him softly on the finger. Feeling pleased that the cat played with him and let him touch her soft fur he was happy and let her go sleep on Vhaidra's stomach for the night. He himself should have been getting to sleep soon.
He didn't tire but he would get bored if he didn't just shut down in his own way.

Balthier went to the bridge while Tira headed to the machine gun turrets, just in case. Overhead the battle was picking up, but only Tira could see it in any detail.
The Imperial warships seemed to be out number 2 to 1 but they were doing a good job of holding their own nonetheless. The fighter/eagle battle was another story. The Eagles were well outnumbered, but in the dark they were completely undetectable unless they flew infront of the moon, which they were careful not to do.
