Emma stood up and went to the full length mirror to get one last look at herself. She smiled for a second to see how it was but then sent back to a very observant stare taking in every inch of her appearance to make sure it was flawless. Then she picks up her perfume and applies it behind her ears and to her wrists. She sighed contently happy that all the preparation was finally done. Now it was time to party. She went over to the decanter and poured herself a drink to calm her nerves being extra cautious so not to spill any on her dress.

(It's okay. I'm terrible at long posts. Today is just a good day)
Juliette bit her lip, trying to fight the warmth that rushed to her cheeks as he complimented her. "Well, thank you.."she smiled up at him. "And no, not too early at all,"She added before glancing around her suite, making sure she had everything she needed. She tilted her head back up to look at him,"yeah, I'm all set,"she told him, placing her hand on his arm.

Makali paused before her mirror,slowly checking her appearance before leaving her room.She smoothed the edges of her gold and blue sari,and checked that there were no loose threads.Around her neck was a thick golden necklace set with small sapphires and yellow diamonds,with matching golden dangle earrings and bangle bracelets.Her wavy brown-black hair,usually loose around her shoulders,was pulled back in a loose braid that fell well to her waist,and on her head she wore a golden headdress with small strands of chains woven through her braid,which sparkled from the small sapphires and diamonds that bejeweled the strands.Satisfied with her appearance,and happy that her bindi was centered for once,Makali took a deep breath and left her room to meet up with her date.
August waited in the hallway for Mackenzie,absentmindedly adjusting his collar as he did so.He wore a very well fitted pure white tuxedo. His pale blonde and black hair is pulled back into a loose ponytail and his bangs are left to frame his face as usual.On his left ear he is wearing silver hoop earrings while on his right ear he has silver studs embedded with small diamonds.His silver cuff links are in the shape of stars and are also embedded with diamonds.His most noticeable piece of jewelry is a silver chain around his neck from which dangles smaller silver chains that drape over his tuxedo front and are strewn with small silver stars embedded with diamonds.

Mackenzie was running late, as usual, to meet August before the dance started. So in a sense, she was late to be early. But it didn't matter now, she was here, and her outfit wasn't a complete wreck. She waved to her 'date' and greeted him with a teasing yet casual tone. "Yo dawg." She grinned. Mackenzie said that to all of her friends, family, and secret service. "We're not late are we?" She asked with a raised eyebrow. Mackenzie was hardly ever punctual, something always seemed to go wrong at the perfect time.

"Great!" He exclaimed eager to take this beautiful young lady to the ballroom to see what all the fuss was about. He led her down the hall and into the elevator, no way were they taking the stairs in these fancy duds. He smiles at her, checking to make sure everything was going smoothly.

August looked up at Mackenzie's greeting and grinned."Yo."He replied himself in a similar manner."You look great."He added,examining her outfit,it was very nicely put together."I don't think so...maybe I should get a watch."He said in regards to her question.He had noticed couples making their way to the ballroom,but he didn't know if they were heading there early or were trying to make it there on time.

Mackenzie gave a sheepish grin at his compliment and looked down at her outfit like she had just noticed what she was wearing. "Oh...thanks. I uh, I look alright." She tried to be humble about it. Mackenzie doesn't usually like compliments either that or she isn't sure how to take them. She stared down at her feet but then her head shot up when August spoke again, "huh? Oh yeah you probably should. Or draw one one your wrist. Batteries might be hard to insert though." Mackenzie said with a shrug like that was something she normally talked about. Which odd things, were her favorite subject.

Juliette let out a small chuckle as they passed the stairs. "Good call. I'd probably trip and fall in these heels, if I attempted that,"she joked, glancing up at him. "Have you seen what it looks like yet?"she asked him softly, more than curious about the decorations since she hadn't even see what they'd prepared for the dance.

August nodded and smiled,but didn't really notice Mackenzie's reaction to his compliment."You may be right about that,perhaps I should just stick with my phone."He laughed slightly in regards to her comment on the watch."But perhaps we should get going anyways.Shall we?"He offered her his arm and a grin.He was ready to get to the dance,and the food,food was good even if the dance wasn't.Hopefully the music would be good,he didn't mind dancing if the music was good.

Levi finished adjusting his tie, and his hands immediately jumped to his cuff links, making sure they were on properly. He was nervous, and because there was no one around to see, he didn't mind showing it for once. It was a formal-ish event, which meant his best behavior, and even though it was small and didn't matter so much, that did nothing for his nerves. It still has to go perfectly.
Charlotte smiled to herself as she walked towards she and her date's planned meeting place. She was full of nervous energy, but the good kind of nervous energy. She was excited. Her first dance out from under her father's thumb, and she had a date she at least knew and liked beforehand, not some random nobleman's some her father had picked out in advance to make her look good. Plus, her dress was a good color for her and looked lovely. It may not have matched the color scheme perfectly, but she'd stand out more than blending in.

Makali made her way to the meeting place,the long train of her sari folded neatly over her arm as she walked.She was rather nervous,but also excited for tonight,she hadn't really had a date of her choosing to one of these things before.As she approached the meeting spot,she shook her head,clearing it of unwanted thoughts.Tonight wasn't about her family's will,it was about hers,and she would enjoy it.As she arrived at the meeting spot,she settled down to wait in nervous anticipation.

"I have not, " Said Branson with a friendly smile. "All that I know is the theme is Fire and Ice. I am pretty excited to see what they have done to the ballroom. We all know that expense was not a problem so I bet they went all out." After they are in the elevator he hits the button to take them to the ground floor.
Emma downed what was left in the glass then headed for the door. She snatched her small gold clutch off the table adjacent to the door and turned the handle on the mahogany door. She slips out into the hall not noticing her date because she was closing and locking the door meticulously.

Using a phone sounded more practical than having to redraw your watch every time you wash your hands, but it would still give you something to do if you get bored easily like Mackenzie. She took his arm, still unsure whether or not they were on time. "We shall. I want to show my moves on the dance floor. No, don't take me seriously. I have no rythym. Besides maybe whipping, or something else choreographed." Mackenzie's friends said she danced like a white person. She never took offense by it, considering half of them were white as well, but if all white people danced without rythym then yes; she danced like a white person.

"Fire and ice. It sounds amazing. I bet it's going to be molto bella"Juliette breathed. Her brother and her talked like that often, switching from English to small words in Italian, that being the main language of their country. "Thanks for asking me, by the way,"Juliette added looking up at him.

After she had taken his arm,August led the way down to the ballroom."I can't wait."He teased,hearing her talk about her dance skills."Though,to be honest,my dance specialty is of the ballroom variety,think waltz and tango,that type."He remarked,thinking of all the lessons his parents had him take and how he wasn't that big a fan of it at first,but it had grown on him.He wasn't so bad at it,and it seemed a skill a prince would need to know in preparation for taking the throne.He wondered what the decorations would be like,he knew the theme now,fire and ice and had dressed accordingly,leaning more towards the ice side.It seemed Mackenzie had preferred fire for her outfit choice.

Mackenzie nodded thoughtfully, her eyebrows knitted also in thought. "Oh yeah...I forgot ballroom dancing is a thing. I suppose I can do that too. Though, I haven't taken many lessons. So I apologize in advance if I step - no, break - your foot." She let a mischievous grin come across her lips as she spoke to August. It made her more comfortable, knowing he was easy to talk to. There were some people that clicked and others who didn't. Mackenzie supposed they weren't the latter of the two, but rather the first. She figured she was most likely going to talk to him the most out of anyone else here during their stay.

hi S'more! did you want to post a starter for Kuro and Arlo?)
August grinned as well."Only if I get to break yours in return."He teased.Mackenzie was a good friend.August never made friends that easily in the past,he usually scared away potential ones by talking too much or something.He wasn't sure actually why he found it so hard to make friends,but Mackenzie was different somehow.It was nice to have someone to talk to that wasn't obligated to do so.He looked up once they had reached the doors to the ballroom."Well,here we are."He said and then stepped forward to hold the door open for Mackenzie."After you."He said politely,motioning through the door.

"Emma," Levi greeted, a smile replacing the look of nerves that had been deeply settled on his face only seconds previously. "Good evening." He slipped his left hand into his pocket, waiting for her to turn around so that the compliment waiting in his lips seemed more genuine.
Charlotte picked up her pace, noticing the time, and that she was getting close to late on a nearby clock. Finally, she arrived to see her date sitting, waiting for her. Suddenly, a wave of shyness rushed over her, and she slowed to a halt a few feet away. "Hi," she said shyly, a small smile on her face. She tucked her hair back behind her ear, making a effort not to stare at the ground. Even when her date was someone she knew, there was always that moment before they saw you when you didn't know how it would go.
(Sorry there was a mouse in my class room and I got distracted trying to catch it.)

Natasha's Outfit Cristiano was heading to the servants quarters, going to the room he was told to be Natasha's and knocking on the door. He had a cheeky grin on his face, knowing she wasn't expecting him. Nat frowned in surprise, finishing pulling her heels on and going to the door, peeking it open. She opened it fully when she saw Cristiano standing there, leaning against the door frame. Cristiano tilted his head up and a smile split across his face. He reached out and took her hand, pulling her into a twirl that startled her and made her stumble a little. " bellissima!"he cheered, once she halted the spin. "Shh! Stop it! What are you doing? You're supposed to be heading to the dance already,"Nat asked, surprised to see him there, although she felt a fond smile on her face. "Si, I know. But I thought I'd come get you. Cause I'm a gentleman. Are you ready?"Cristiano asked, glancing inside her room. Nat shook her head a little but smiled and closed the door behind her,"yes, I'm ready. Thank you,"she said simply, glancing up at him as he offered his arm. She muttered under her breath and hooked her arm through his. He led her away from the servant quarters and towards the mansion. "Why don't you have a date?"she asked him, as they walked. Christian shrugged,"I didn't ask anyone,"he told her, not too bothered by it.

Her brother and her talked like that often, switching from English to small words in Italian, that being the main language of their country. "Thanks for asking me, by the way,"Juliette added looking up at him. "Its my pleasure." Said Branson polity. He really was glad that he had asked her, she seemed like someone he could get along with and of course she was just down right beautiful. The elevator made a ding and then stopped at its appointed floor. The door opened and the two of them walked down the hall to the ballroom. They could hear the music playing right away and it wasn't long before they came upon the big mahogany doors that were propped wide open in preparation for tonight's guest's arrival.

August wouldn't have to break her foot, the heels she was wearing would do that for him. Mackenzie never like heels, in any shape, size, or color. If she could just wear socks she would, but that isn't very lady like and doesn't exactly set up a good example from the Presidential daughter of America. She has a reputation to keep up whether she liked it or not, all of them do. "Thank you." She nodded her head to August as she entered through the doorway. The decorations were quite lovely, and she shouldn't be surprised they were. After all, the most famous children in the world were in this building. "I wasn't sure what I was expecting. But I suppose it would be something like this." Mackenzie said once August was back at her side

"Oh hello, Levi." Emma said turning to face him after the door handle had been securely locked. She smiled a warm smile and looked him up and down. Then she clutched her clutch in both hands and stood before him waiting for his next move. She was the sort of person to go off of what the other person was doing instead of charging ahead. It had served her well this long so she didn't plan to change any time soon. Some people might read it as stuck up or unfriendly but after a bit, if you care, you can tell that it is just one of her lines of defense.

OOC Here ya go guys!
IC Kuro was of course dressed in formal wear, having on a black suit with a tail, he had a bow tie on and a bright blue sash draped across his shoulder, his hair had been gelled back with a lot of effort, but was already sort of springing back to life, so he gave up on that and instead just let it do what it did, he looked in the mirror as he tied the blue bandana over his forehead and looked over at his clan of cats and posed for them. "Formal yet still unique, think it looks alright?" He asked and received a few meows in reply, which was enough for him to go with it. He had wanted to add a bit more...but he hadn't, he had forced himself to stop, so...good for him, not too weird at least.
-
Max was also in a suit, it was soft, and a velvety purple...looked nice but a bit extra, unnecessary and all, looked very much like something Max would wear, and his shirt underneath was a mellow yellow, it was formal, sure, but also just a bit strange considering he should be dressed in probably normal colors. He had made his hair actually look nice for once and was currently walking to Cain's suite, he paused at the door and knocked, hoping Cain was ready so they could go to the dance.

Makali looked up and smiled upon seeing Charlotte."Hello Charlotte."She said as she rose to her feet and walked over to her date."You look...beautiful."She finally said after fully taking in Charlotte and smiled again.She was feeling nervous herself,but was artfully hiding it behind a smile and a genuine compliment. Makali shifted slightly,feeling a bit awkward,not sure what to do now.Should they head to the dance?Talk for a bit? She wasn't sure.
After taking Mackenzie's arm once more in his,August gave the ballroom his full attention as he looked in awe at all the decorations.It was quite the sight to behold,all the ice sculptures,tables,the reds and blues,it was a bit overwhelming.When he went to formal functions the decorations were a bit more subdue than this."Wow."He said after letting out a low whistle that revealed how truly impressed he was.

Juliette craned her neck a little in anticipation when she heard the music before looking back at Branson,"I apologize now if I step on your feet when we're dancing. I'm not the best at dancing in heels."she told him, a half grin on her face. She turned her head to look in the ballroom, her blue eyes widening. "Oh my goodness, it's so beautiful,"she breathed, taking in everything as they walked in. She was more nervous that she was letting on. With Branson being so polite and seemingly regal, she was worried about doing something stupid and completely embarrassing herself in front of him. She was prone to goofing off.
(By the way, if anyone needs someone to rp with, I have Cristiano and Natasha open. I'm just rping them together cause I wanted to build on their personality and everything)
