Kai was willing to take full responsibility for the situation he found himself in. He had the money to pay for two tickets, but once he set aside the $90 for Chloe’s ticket, he figured he could double it in a few hours. Instead, he was in the hole a couple hundred and now sneaking into a New Year’s Eve party while his girlfriend entered through the front door. 

The task seemed easy, it would just require a decent amount of upper body strength. Kai could manage a few pull ups, so he wasn’t concerned with that aspect of the plan. It was the possibility of glass shattering and alerting, well, anyone to what was happening that worried him. It was a weird feeling– he often didn’t worry about getting caught. 

After he had cased the hotel and determined the best plan of action, he managed to pry off the screen and force the window open. Tossing his mask through, Kai lifted himself up and began to squirm through, trying not to rip all of his buttons off when they locked eyes. “Uh, so, if you could lift this window up a little more that would be dope. It’d be even cooler if you didn’t call security,” he pleaded.

What in Mateo’s mind had made him think coming to a masquerade within his first couple of weeks in town was a good idea? It clearly wasn’t his brightest moment. First of all, he didn’t know anyone to begin with. It would be even more difficult now that the majority of the town had a mask over half of their face. Second of all, avoiding his Sister would be slightly more difficult if he couldn’t spot her on the chance she was wearing a mask. 

He had escaped to the bathroom on the good faith he wouldn’t find her there. What he had not expected to find was a man hanging halfway out of the window, trapped under the ledge like a pet stuck in the doggy door.

Mateo blinked a few times, trying to process what exactly he was seeing. Still, would it really be his best introduction to the town if he were the one to bust whoever was sneaking in? Did he really want to be the nark? He crossed to the window, pushing it up a bit more so the stranger could worm his way in a little easier. “There’s a front door, you know. I think they were selling day of tickets, even.”
