NSWRPF Archive The Role Playing Community's Second Annual Christmas / Winter Ball

IC: greyjedi125

Greyjedi found himself chuckling merrily at Rilwen's words. She had a great insight into things, and even though his motives were strictly alturistic, he found it pleasantly amusing the way they could be misconstrued. In this case, he did not bother with 'corrections'. Rilwen's interpretation of his motives made things far more interesting. Grey suddenly was curious as to what brand of chocolate Rilwen had been eating. Their effects on her were rather interesting. He certainly would not mind a bite or two.

"This isn't quite as exciting as last time." Rilwen said, bringing up last year's event. "Last time, I superglued an Ewok into tutu, wings and halo, and secured him on top of the tree with duct tape. Remind me to show you the photos sometime. Well, he was causing trouble..." Rilwen laughed and shook her head.

Greyjedi chuckled in genuine amusement at this.

"Oh yes, I'd like to see those pictures whenever you get the chance."

As they walked, he looked at Rilwen admiringly. He always thought her fascinating, but so did countless other gamer's. This of course, did not come as a surprise. It was the nature of the RPF community. That, however, was a thought to be pondered at a different time. There was no good reason to spoil things with his characteristic brooding.

"Well, I'm pretty sure that something exciting is bound to happen this time around, despite the late hour, don't you think so Ktala?"

Incidentally, the music around them was getting louder, which meant they were getting much closer. Grey smiled at Ktala and gave her a slight nod in anticipation of their promised dance. The music around them seemed to beckon, even if time was of the essence. Even after a whole year, the magic of the moment within this place, was undiminished and undeniable.

This was called the season of joy for a very good reason.

Ktala
Wilderness Halll

Ktala listened amused, as Xany spoke to Sey. "Hey Reynar, Sey - I'm Xan. Think I've run into you two elsewhere before."

"Xany!!! From the GC! That's where you've seen me before." Sey bounced excitedly. "I haven't been around much over there lately though," she finished off sadly.

Ktala grinned. "Dosen't matter. We're here now. Time to party!" Giggling Sey she set off around the dance floor.

Ktala looked over Reynar and chuckled softly.

Meanwhile, GreyJedi had agreeded to go dancing with them. "Oh...why, certainly." He managed to respond. Rilwen and Ktala both smiled, as they looked at GreyJedi.

Greyjedi asserted with a smile as he put out both arms, one for each lady. "May I have the honor of escorting you both?"

"If Ktala agrees, then you certainly may, because I am." Rilwen rested a hand on the arm extended to her, and looked over at Ktala. "Is he doing this to show off, do you think?" she joked. "One is courtesy. Two is status." She looked back to Grey, tilting her head up to speak to him, owing to her lack of height. "Not to cast aspersions on your motives or anything....but having multiple motivations is something I'm pretty sure you learned same place I did."

Ktala smiled. "Well, I sure dont have any issues. As long as I get my dance." she added with a smile.

Rilwen mock-sighed. "This isn't quite as exciting as last time. Last time, I superglued an Ewok into tutu, wings and halo, and secured him on top of the tree with duct tape. Remind me to show you the photos sometime. Well, he was causing trouble..." Rilwen laughed and shook her head. Ktala scratched her head. Ewok? Tutu? She had definately missed something.

Greyjedi was chuckling merrily. "Oh yes, I'd like to see those pictures whenever you get the chance."

As they walked, he looked at Rilwen admiringly. "Well, I'm pretty sure that something exciting is bound to happen this time around, despite the late hour, don't you think so Ktala?"

Ktala gave an innocent look. "Oh..I'm sure it will. Even if we have to create it ourselves...."
she winked.

The music around them was getting louder, which meant they were getting much closer. Grey smiled at Ktala and gave her a slight nod in anticipation of their promised dance.

They passed Sey, who stood, looking into Wilderness Hall. The band starts playing "Baby its Cold Outside" with the lead singer pulling off a very good Bing Crosby impersonation. Ktala had noticed a team of butlers had started hanging up streamers for the New Year.

Oh yes, this was going to be something. The music filled the room, as they sauntered in, looking to see if anyone else had dared to venture in for a dance or two.

IC: Anabel

Staring amazed at the sight of all the dancing couples rising to take the floor, Anabel barely heard the dull thump of her partner's head hitting the table beside her. Looking round, she saw Brutus' head wallowing miserably in a bowl of eggnog. Sighing she pulled him out by the shoulders before he drowned himself.

"What am I going to do with you?" she said softly, gently placing Brutus, still snoring, onto the side of his chair, cushioning his head with her shawl. He looked so out of it, Anabel thought it cruel to wake him up just yet.

Draining her own cup of eggnog she rose to her feet. The music draw her on. Seeing Nick and Joss enjoying themselves to the current dancetrack she grinned, knowing a few more glasses of booze would make their gyrating movements look a little too... suggestive. There was an idea.

Turning her head elsewhere, she struggled to remember some of the faces... a redhead bounced playfully nearby. Rilwen, the name was somewhat familiar to Anabel... she seemed to remember the girl had been something of a writer, once penning a story involving Jedi and Sith of the SWC Trials and Acolytes thread. It was certainly interesting to see her again here.

Sighing Anabel stamped her foot in frustration. She was at a party, and her date was fast asleep... something wasn't right here.

IC: Sith-I-5

Heading towards the Shadowflame gaity, Sithy skidded to a stop halfway across the lobby, mental proximity alarms set of by the fine site of a female in Imperial officer's gear.

He was torn between Sith Girl who might already have a companion, and Imp' Girl who seemed to be by herself.

Drokk it, no contest

"Hello there, I'm Sith-I-5. Can I get you a drink?"

IC: Reynar

Reynar followed Sey to the Wilderness Hall, where he saw her gazing at the gigantic Christmas tree adorned with intricate decorations.

"Hm," he said, standing beside her. "They didn't do a bad job this year. I feel all warm and fuzzy."

Tag: Sey

 

IC: Sey

"They didn't do a bad job this year. I feel all warm and fuzzy."

Sey tore her eyes away from the glowing Christmas tree and squeezed Reynar's arm. "Yup, you feel warm and fuzzy." Giggling she walked over to the dance floor and held out her hand.

Tag: Reynar

 

IC: Reynar

Reynar laughed at Sey's comment, and then took her outstretched hand within his own. Then he came to a startling realization.

"I don't dance," he said in a joking manner, but he was quite serious.

Tag: Sey

 

IC: Sey

Sey heard Reynar's laugh and felt his hand take her. Suddenly a sobering voice spoke "I don't dance."

That stopped her short. Why would he agree to dance with her if he didn't dance? Also, the notion that someone couldn't dance was silly to her. Everyone could dance.

"Sure you can dance. Just put your hand on my waist, and sway to the music."

Tag: Reynar

 

IC: Reynar

Reynar, as he had learned to do with women, did as he was told. He cautiously placed his hand on Sey's waist, not wanting to come across as eager, nor overly shy. And then he started to sway with Bing Crosby's voice (he just knew that singer was lip-synching).

Tag: Sey

 

IC: Sey

Sey felt that Reynar might be nervous. This should be a no pressure dance as friends, but she felt something hesitant in him. Swaying with him, she thought about another way to make him laugh so he'd loosen up. The two spun around the dance floor to a classic holiday song.

She knew the song so to make him laugh she started singing as they danced around. Sey didn't have a horrible voice, but she wasn't a stellar singer too. She was in a cheery mood though and loved singing Christmas tunes, so she set off to embarrass herself.

"Why aren't you up on stage?" Reynar joked as he swayed along with Sey. "You're much better than that dude."

IC: Imperial_Hammer
Location: Wilderness Hall

Imperial_Hammer had been mostly floating around edges of the Hall, keeping busy here and there. It was getting close to New Years, and the celebrations were beginning. Hammer grabbed a party favor and a glass of eggnog and spied Ktala, Grey, and Rilwen entering the room. He blew the favor with a big "brrrrrrrrrrzzzzz!" moved to intercept the group.

?Well Well Well!? Hammer said with a smile. ?Two girls for every boy! I must be in Surf City USA.?

He took a sip of his eggnog with a grin.

?Good to see you guys are enjoying yourself. Ha, I might be of assistance to you when it comes to dancing Grey. Unless you have devised a way of dancing with two girls at once, I believe one of your admirers will be in need of a partner.?

Hammer looked at his watch?

?Almost new years. ?07 was a pretty good year if you ask me.?

Ktala
Wilderness Hall

As they made their way into the room, they passed horsey and Reynar. She heard some comment about being 'warm and fuzzy', and tried her best not to giggle. Just as they were passing them, they were interrupted by a loud "brrrrrrrrrrzzzzz!" sound. Ktala turned, with a grin.

standing there, with a party favor and a glass of eggnog was Imperial_Hammer. So he had blown the favor.

?Well Well Well!? Hammer said with a smile. ?Two girls for every boy! I must be in Surf City USA.?

Ktala groaned at the joke. She then looked around as I_H took a sip of his eggnog with a grin. ?Good to see you guys are enjoying yourself. Ha, I might be of assistance to you when it comes to dancing Grey. Unless you have devised a way of dancing with two girls at once, I believe one of your admirers will be in need of a partner.?

Hammer looked at his watch? ?Almost new years. ?07 was a pretty good year if you ask me.?

Ktala reached over and plucked another favor from his pocket. "Not too shabby, if you say so. We seemed to have lost a few old friends, but we have gained new ones as well."

Ktala raised her class. "To old friends." She silently wondered if one of her old friends was even going to bother this year to visit. She sighed softly.

The band started playing a slow version of ?Auld Lang Syne?. Ktala shook her head. She HATED that song. It was just so... so depressing. But would work with what was available. She blew the party favor. No time to be depressed now.

"So...who's up for a dance?" she asked, grinning slightly.

Wilderness Hall

The Well Dressed Kiffar gave Imperial Hammer a respectful bow in greeting. Grey couldn't help but to laugh merrily when his Imperialness mentioned dancing with two girls.

"Sadly, I have not devised a way to dance with two partners at once." He said with a wink to Imperial_Hammer and a smile to Rilwen. With a small gallant flourish, Grey took the hand of Lady Rilwen and kissed it graciously. "I beg your leave my lady for I must attend to a previous commitment. Our most gracious host, Lord Hammer, has expressed interest in dancing with you. I pray you find it to your pleasure to grant him the privilege of your company."

Peripherally, grey had also spied several other members of the RPF looking over to Rilwen with interest. The Kiffar did not wish to preclude the Lady from finding the amusement she so desired.

"So...who's up for a dance?" Grey heard Ktala ask.

"That is my cue." Grey intoned to Rilwen with a small measure of amusement. He bowed to both Lady Rilwen and Lord Hammer, then turned to move gallantly towards Lady Ktala.

"You called?"

Grey offered Ktala a broad smile as he swept her up lightly, placing his right hand on her waist and holding her left hand in his at shoulder height.

"Let's dance..."

And with a grand smile, he took the first step, commencing a slow and rhythmically gracious waltz.

IC: Rilwen_Shadowflame

Rilwen nodded and smiled as Imperial Hammer came over to speak to them.

?Good to see you guys are enjoying yourself. Ha, I might be of assistance to you when it comes to dancing Grey. Unless you have devised a way of dancing with two girls at once, I believe one of your admirers will be in need of a partner.?

She laughed quietly at this. The others exchanged comments on the year being nearly over. A good year? Perhaps. Certainly an interesting one.

"Sadly, I have not devised a way to dance with two partners at once. I beg your leave my lady for I must attend to a previous commitment. Our most gracious host, Lord Hammer, has expressed interest in dancing with you. I pray you find it to your pleasure to grant him the privilege of your company."

The almost impossible happened. Rilwen actually flushed slightly as Grey kissed her hand, not being used to this level of courtliness. Pulling out all the charm, then. In most situations, it was considered extremely difficult to get her to blush. This, apparently, was not 'most situations'.

She watched Grey and Ktala move away and begin their dance, then looked over at Hammer. "You were asking then? Or no?" She smiled slightly, once again in control of her reactions.

Imperial Hammer came over to speak to them. ?Good to see you guys are enjoying yourself. Ha, I might be of assistance to you when it comes to dancing Grey. Unless you have devised a way of dancing with two girls at once, I believe one of your admirers will be in need of a partner.?

Our most gracious host, Lord Hammer, has expressed interest in dancing with you. I pray you find it to your pleasure to grant him the privilege of your company." GreyJedi responded.

Ktala simply grinned, as Rilwen actually flushed slightly as Grey kissed her hand. Oh Grey was just being his normal charmin' self.

"So...who's up for a dance?" Ktala asked, as she moved about, shifting her weight slightly.

"That is my cue." Grey intoned to Rilwen with a small measure of amusement. He bowed to both Lady Rilwen and Lord Hammer, then turned to move gallantly towards Lady Ktala.

"You called?" Ktala nearly beamed with delight. She had been wanting to dance for soooo long, she practically floated to the dance floor.

Grey offered Ktala a broad smile as he swept her up lightly, placing his right hand on her waist and holding her left hand in his at shoulder height.

"Let's dance..."

And with a grand smile, he took the first step, commencing a slow and rhythmically gracious waltz. A WALTZ!!! Ktala LOVED Waltz's. She picked up the hem of her dress, and after a quick curtsey, she placed her hands as he led them. Oh, she loved the first twirl that they hit, and she coudlnt resist just hamming it up a bit.

Ktala had studied many odd things during her life. Courtly dances, being one of them. Now, she could use her oft knowledge to use, as they spun around the floor. She noted happilly, that other dancers were also taking to the dance floor now.

Yes, this ball had turned out quite lovely!

IC: Nick

Nick raised an eyebrow at her last comment, but aside from that, simply let her continue on. He allowed her to lead him to the dance floor, where he then took the lead and started dancing. He was not aware of how he was dancing, or even what music was playing. He was only aware of her eyes... which seemed like a strange thing to him. He did not trust himself to speak for a while, then got up courae and said, "You dance well." It was a terrible conversation opener, but the best he could do at the moment.

Ktala
Wilderness Hall

Ktala and GreyJedi moved accross the dance floor. Ktala was enjoying this dance, even though she knew it would soon have to end. She was sorry that LSA had not found it fit to join them this year, and hoped that his year would be well anyway...even if he had seemed to left them.

Pushing the thought asside, Ktala moved gracefully with Grey through the other dances. New Years music strains played throught the music. A new year. So many new things to try out. So much more fun!

With a smile, she continued her dance. At least THIS year, she got her dance. That was one improvement already. She pushed her grumpy thoughts away, and laughed softly.

"Care to go join ourselves in the chocolate fountain, before they take it all away?" she asked with a chuckle.

greyjedi125 & Ktala

Wilderness Hall

No greater evidence was needed to know that the kiffar was having a great time other than the smile he wore. Grey looked upon Ktala happily as they danced. To think that they'd waited an entire year for this moment.

As the pair graciously moved through the floor, grey noticed a momentary shift in Ktala's otherwise happy face. A thought seemed to have crossed her mind. Her expression hinted a frown, but the moment did not last as Ktala smiled once again. Grey almost opened his mouth to ask what was the matter, but upon seeing Ktala back on track, thought better of it and also let the matter go. The moment was filled with Joy and it was their duty to revel in it and share it with others.

"Care to go join ourselves in the chocolate fountain, before they take it all away?" Ktala asked suddenly with a chuckle.

Grey's eyes went wide with surprise and he chuckled nervously in response. His mind went a thousand places in a single flash as he tried to fight back a blush. Being an overimaginative GM had it's merits as well as it's drawbacks. Often times, depending on mood or level of inebriation, grey would tend to 'misinterpret' what was spoken. Always to his embarrasement. Instead of saying what he 'really' thought, grey chose to save himself from a possibly embarrassing situation by asking a simple question.

"Uhm....whatever do you mean? specifically?"

Grey thought it best if he flashed a dashing smile while he was at it.

Ktala * GreyJedi
Wilderness Hall

Ktala really had missed dancing, so she made good on her promise to dance as long as possible this year. But of course, others might also wish to dance with the dapper Kiffar before he dissapeared once more, and she did not wish to hog him all to herself...

Well...that wasnt true, but she was going to be civil. With her mind slightly distracted she asked GreyJedi..

"Care to go join ourselves in the chocolate fountain, before they take it all away?" Ktala asked suddenly with a chuckle.

Grey's eyes went wide with surprise and he chuckled nervously in response. Ktala, not really having paid attention to what she had said, looked over slightly confused, and noticed that he looked as if he was...blushing.

Her mind furiously tried to go over what she had just said...

"Uhm....whatever do you mean? specifically?" he asked, as he flashed a dashing smile while he was at it.

Suddenly, it hit her exactally what she had said...

Now it was Ktala's turn to turn a brilliant red, which was impressive against her dark skin. She brought up the hand to cover her face, as she almost went into a fit of giggles. She then groaned.

"Bloody heck!" she muttered, suddenly feeling the need for a fan. She looked down at her toes for a moment, before she took in a
deep breath.

"CLUB INNUENDO is NOT open tonight!" she muttered as she looked up. She then teasingly smacked his shoulder. "What I MEANT to say was, Would you care to go and enjoy some treats from the chocolate fountain, before they take it all away?" Ktala repeated slowly, this time making sure she said what she meant. Oy!

"I think I need some punch..." she muttered, as she shook her head, laughing at her miss-words. "Behave before I starting reciting stories about the cheeks of steel..." she warned, giving him a teasing smile, as she did a small dance in place.

greyjedi125 & Ktala

Wilderness Hall

Grey watched as Katala seem to think back on the words she had spoken only a moment ago, and with amusement in his eyes watched as the realization of it dawned on the lovely lady in his arms.

Now it was Ktala's turn to turn a brilliant red, which was impressive against her dark skin. She brought up a hand to cover her face as she almost went into a fit of giggles. She then groaned.

"Bloody heck!" she muttered, suddenly feeling the need for a fan. She looked down at her toes for a moment, before she took in a
deep breath.

"CLUB INNUENDO is NOT open tonight!" she muttered as she looked up. She then teasingly smacked his shoulder.

Grey was enjoying a good an proper laugh at Ktala's reaction. She looked even lovlier when vexed, even if it was make believe. A moment like this was simply priceless to him.

"What I MEANT to say was, Would you care to go and enjoy some treats from the chocolate fountain, before they take it all away?" Ktala repeated slowly, this time making sure she said what she meant.

Grey bowed deeply to the lady Ktala, then straightened with a smile still on his face.

"If it's the Lady's pleasure, I'll be happy to join." He said, gesturing towards the chocolate fountain with a hand.

"I think I need some punch..." Ktala muttered as she shook her head, laughing at her miss-words. Grey could not withold a merry chuckle.

"Behave before I starting reciting stories about the cheeks of steel..." she warned, giving him a teasing smile. Grey smilingly ackwoldeged her words with a nod of the head and a flash of his pearly white teeth, then took her hand in his.

"I agree. Chocolate is what we need to sweeten this moment. Not to mention that you are right. There's no telling what Lady Rilwen may do to those poor defenseless chocolate treats. We must hurry and rescue them from each other."

Grey moved in time with Ktala towards the fountain, enjoying the moment. He was not the best of humorists, that he knewfor certain, so he hoped his off-beat joke would not offend anyone who might overhear since that was not his intention.

Overall, the evening was a success, and he for once was having the time of his life.

IC: Sith-I-5

The young woman in the Imperial officers uniform seemed to look straight through him, as if he wasn?t there, but there were enough reflective surfaces nearby, such as metallic balls hanging from decorated Christmas trees, to confirm that he was not in fact invisible, quashing a suspicion that he had accidentally started roleplaying the invisible fella out off Heroes.

Out of the corner of his eye, Sithy noticed the butler crossing the foyer, and hailed him.

?Yes sir??

The roleplayer nodded towards Jerjerrod-Lennox, holding up the wall.

?I?m having some trouble getting her to notice me. Any random npcs on the staff who might be able to give me a hand??

?Yes sir. Just one moment, sir.? The formal head-of-staff turned away, cupped rather large hands round his mouth to form an organic loudhailer, and bellowed the name ?GWEN!?.

A plain-faced young woman with unfashionable mousy brown hair, crept out of a side room and came to stand beside the butler. Like him, she was dressed for the Silver Service evening. Black blouse, skirt, stockings, abbreviated white apron around her waist, sensible shoes.

Somehow, she looked?familiar.

?Hello,? Sith-I-5 greeted uncertainly, ?I am looking at you, but thinking Holtz??

He stepped back at her eyes flickered alarmingly, more in the manner of the spinning fruit dials on a Vegas casino machine than anything organic.

?Holtz. Daniel. Vampire-hunter, 18-? Her voice was melodious and mechanical all at the same time!

?Alright, alright, stop! I saw that episode of Angel. You were ?Files and Records? at Wolfram and Hart, right?? He didn?t give her a chance to answer, ploughing ahead as he nodded towards Jerjerrodd Lennox petrified form by the artificial Christmas Tree. ?How do I gain the attention of a lady dressed as an Imperial officer??

?Make her an admiral??

Sithy frowned. ?I dunno; has that ever worked before??

Her eyes flickered again as she clearly accessed some mystical database.
?Daala. Kirsten. Commander of the Maw Installation. Tarkin?s bit of fluff.?

?Yeah, but who has four Star Destroyers hanging around?? He brightened at something she had quoted, ??Bit of fluff?? It actually says that? I didn?t write it did I? Look, this is a waste of time. Go put on an stormtrooper outfit and meet me by wherever they are serving the Baileys. See you in a minute.?

With a smile, the roleplayer went off and stepped into the Dining Room.

Imperial_Hammer noticed the exceptionally gracious repertoire between GreyJedi and Rilwen. Hm! Something was definitely up there. Though he couldn't really tell if the Grey one was just being nice, or if there really was something there.

Whatever, it was none of his concern. Rilwen looked to him and asked if he really just invited her to dance.

"Indeed I did Miss Shadowflame. Just a friendly little waltz. Will you accept?"

He extended his hand to the girl..

"Sure," she grinned, taking his hand.

About time. I never get to dance at these things. The diminutive Sith let Hammer lead her out onto the floor, determined to do her best to keep up in the dance. She wasn't all that practised in any dance that couldn't be done solo...but she was adaptable. This shouldn't be too hard.

Ktala
Walking back to Main Dining area

Ktala was still trying to forget her earlier mis-words, while Grey bowed deeply to her, then straightened with a smile still on his face. "If it's the Lady's pleasure, I'll be happy to join." He said, gesturing towards the chocolate fountain with a hand. Grey could not withold a merry chuckle.

"Behave before I starting reciting stories about the cheeks of steel..." she warned, giving him a teasing smile. Grey smilingly acknwoldeged her words with a nod of the head and a flash of his pearly white teeth, then took her hand in his.

"I agree. Chocolate is what we need to sweeten this moment. Not to mention that you are right. There's no telling what Lady Rilwen may do to those poor defenseless chocolate treats. We must hurry and rescue them from each other."

As they both headed for the fountain, Ktala could see that the servants had brought out new treats. Marshmallows.

"S'mores!" she hapilly chirped as they reached the fountain. Warm chocolate and marshmallows, who could ask for more. With a florish, she twirled about, and grabbing a small platter, took a few fruits, and some marshmallows, and hapily began to douse them in the warmed chocolate.

Ktala almost purred as the look of pure joy hit her face. She decided that this had been the best event she had ever gone to so far. Both dancing and chocolate. Could it get any better?

She was willing to find out.
