October 31st - Tony Stark's Ballroom

by **Talia Fawnsworth** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 1:14 pm

Talia came without a date to the big Halloween party. Her costume makes it hard to recognize her; a hand-tooled leather mask conceals most of her features, though her distinctive hair and eyes are still visible. Added to this are a leather bodice and gauzy skirt, both adorned with autumn coloured leaves. Around her waist is a length of cord wrapped several times, ending in a pair of glowing orange spheres about the size of tennis balls. The outfit is completed with a pair of heeled boots, high enough for impact but still low enough to dance in.

For the moment, she is mingling with some of the society elite, though her gaze does travel out to the dance floor with longing glances.

John escorted Ayami out onto the dance floor.

"Did I mention I love Halloween?"

by **Tony Stark** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 1:29 pm

Sometime after he'd left with Kathrin, Tony came back down to the ballroom alone, a self satisfied smirk plastered on his face.

by **Ayami Morita** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 1:33 pm

"Oh? And why's that?" she said, before stumbling a bit at Stark's entrence. "Boy, he's strong..."

by **Talia Fawnsworth** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 1:38 pm

Spotting her host apparently free for the moment, Talia makes her way over with a light step. "Tony, so good to see you again. Fawnsworth, Talia Fawnsworth," she adds, having had some personal experience with Tony's memory for the names of attractive women he's met.

by **John Hino** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 1:40 pm

John looked towards Stark as well.

"Father met him once at a business conference... said he was clearly a genius, if flawed."

by **Tony Stark** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 1:42 pm

"Nice to see you again, Talia" Tony said, leering in her direction "Would you care for a drink?" he asked, snagging two glasses off a passing tray and handing her one.

by **Talia Fawnsworth** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 1:44 pm

"But of course." She accepts the glass without a second glance and sips, "So what brings you to our shores this time?"

by **Ayami Morita** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 1:48 pm

"He's like...pure tabasco sauce. Very, very, very strong."

by **Tony Stark** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 1:52 pm

"I have considerable interests in the UK, and I like to check on things in person. Plus, it seemed like an excellent time to show my support for the new university."

by **Talia Fawnsworth** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 2:12 pm

"Indeed. I know Father certainly appreciates the work you do in the area, and I must say that I'm impressed with the University. How long are you staying in the city?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 2:13 pm

Ryan, on seeing Tony return sans Kat, made his way past with Misty. "Just long enough to spread the cheer, right Uncle Tony?" he asked dryly. He liked Tony a lot more than his father did, but the one thing that always irked him was when Tony decided to nail a girl his age, especially one that he knew.

"At least he isn't wasabi."

by **Ayami Morita** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 2:46 pm

"That would knock me right out," she smiled, leaning into John as the music started.

by **John Hino** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 2:53 pm

"And I'd be here to catch you."

by **Ayami Morita** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 2:58 pm

"You're so sweet..." she mumbled.

"Put it better than I could," Tony laughs and claps Ryan firmly on the shoulder, "Well, maybe not better, but certainly more succinctly. And who is this delightful friend of yours?"

"Miss Morita, may I have this dance?" he smiled.

by **Jayda Nightridge** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 6:55 pm

Jayda watched the dancers swirling across the dancefloor, the people mingling around the edges, all in costumes outlandish and exotic.

"I wonder if we will meet anyone that we won't recognise because of their costume?"

by **Kevin Gravis** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 7:01 pm

"It wouldn't surprise me."

His gaze drifted in Mr. Stark's direction.

"And there he is, Tony freakin' Stark..."

by **Jayda Nightridge** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 7:11 pm

"Not a fan, Kev?" Jayda's eyes followed his line of sight to the gregarious host.

"Seems harmless enough really."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 7:16 pm

"Actually I think he's pretty awesome."

by **Jayda Nightridge** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 7:19 pm

"Oh thats right, I forgot that one of the first descriptions I ever heard of you was 'player'." Jayda smirked.

"He's probably a god to you, huh?"

by **Kevin Gravis** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 7:35 pm

"Was a bit of one, yes."

by **Jayda Nightridge** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 7:37 pm

"How much of one?" Jayda asked curiously, her eyes still on Stark.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 7:42 pm

"Let's say I juggled girls like a circus performer. It bit me in the ass on a few occasions."

by **Jayda Nightridge** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 7:49 pm

"Oh.. the one with the knives not the balls, I take it?" Jayda chuckled.

"Hope that this one girl isn't too boring for you."

by **Rick Ferguson** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 7:55 pm

Rick opted to stay in the ballroom for now, even if he wasn't exactly planning on dancing.

"Oh you're anything but boring."

by **Jayda Nightridge** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 8:12 pm

"Thanks, I think." Jayda sipped her drink.

by **Marcus Kingston** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 8:18 pm

Marcus stayed around as well. A rather loud grumble was probably in earshot of Rick as Marcus went on the search for some sort of refreshment table or servers that were passing out appetizers.

by **Rick Ferguson** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 8:25 pm

Rick smirked, mostly saying to himself, "Marcus just isn't the 'stand around and drink champaigne' kind of guy. At least, not without food.

Jayda Nightridge wrote:"Thanks, I think." Jayda sipped her drink.

"I'd have to agree with Kevin."

by **Jayda Nightridge** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 8:28 pm

"A big guy like Marcus needs his sustenance." Jayda laughed in agreement.

"And I guess 'not boring' is better than nothing."

"You're the life of the party. Especially if it's an adventuring party, you'd make awesome rogue." He smirked.

by **Marcus Kingston** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 8:41 pm

Marcus returned, victorious, carrying a large plate with an assortment of different items. He brought just enough that if Rick wanted to try some get he could. Otherwise, he had no problems finishing it all off himself. He smiled at the small group, elated now that he had found some food and started to eat some of it.

"Hm. This place seems like a networking dream for some of the business majors at our school."

"I am totally up for that, just insert me into a videogame, I'm ready!"

"Yeah but what can we get out of it? Apart from free food."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 8:59 pm

"It certainly can't hurt to make nice with a captain of industry."

by **Rick Ferguson** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 9:01 pm

"Talia's here, if you'll notice. And Victoria. I'm sure all of us aren't here for food."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 9:03 pm

"Well I could be catering shindigs like this someday, so I'm not entirely here for the food."
