Ariel was perched up on the vast, marbled railing overlooking the dance floor. Wonder danced in her blue eyes as she watched real, live humans move gracefully across the hall like she’’d always imagined they could. She read of the human-invented art of dance in the books she’d uncovered from ship wrecks of course, but she never thought she’d get to see it for herself, let alone with her own set of legs with which to join in. Excitedly, Ariel bounded off the railing, all-too-eager to get down there with everyone else. In her excitement, she lost her footing and stumbled clumsily into someone next to her. Clutching at their shoulders she giggled apologetically. “Sorry, sorry. I’ve got two left...what’s the word...oh, feet!” She flushed in spite of herself and laughed again. “Maybe I should practice walking before I do any dancing...” She mused aloud to the person she was still holding onto.

“Where does one get a drink around here? I’m famished!” Daemon declared loudly, not to anyone in particular. But to anyone wanted to help.

Anne made a small reverance to the person she had been dancing with until that moment, and when the music changed she turned around, decided to switch partners for the time being. When she did that she almost fell in the arms of the person standing there, and she chuckled. “Please, do forgive me. I suppose the thrill of the party is getting to me.”

Zorro looked at the pumpkin he had on the table, the one he intended to carve, trying to think of a way to carve it so that it would look good enough. “I suppose I have to put my sword down and see if I’m also skilled with the knife, right?” he said at the person who walked by the table.

Hearing the music going, he gravitated towards the crowd to really see everyone in their costumes. Gently smiling as he noticed the Potion Making and headed that way to get to work himself. Approaching the table with the many ingredients to make a drink, he licked his lips “I usually only drink animals blood...maybe some alcohol will take the edge off”
