Girls and Guys Night Out!

[Sonnie Wu]

"You're welcome!" she said to Rlyeh, as she happily slipping into the booth and sampling her fruity drink.

"So many rugs, not enough time," Sonnie mused. "Poor rugs, they're never gonna look right again. Lost their purpose in life..." she sighed and shook her head sadly, mourning the loss these metaphorical rugs have supposedly suffered.

"Fortunately," the Beast continued, "these cool boots of mine are great for dancing! Probably. Maybe. I haven't actually tried, but they should be okay. I think."

Sonnie cheers loudly for Worm actually break dancing! "YO! That's radical!"

[Cassandra Reeding]

Cassandra raises her drink a little to Sera's response of 'more nights out', "It's a deal then!" She chuckles a little bit before taking a good long sip of her drink. There is the slightest warm sting in her throat which makes her shake her head a little, trying to shake it off.

She looks at Roshon , a little surprised by her response, but she nods respectfully, "I know what you mean. Sometimes you've just got to put yourself right out there, out of your comfort zone and just take the risk. Go for your dream and make it a reality," she smiles a little. "I'm Cassandra. Just a simple gal who plays the cello." And has huge interest in the occult, more keen than most in the Freehold, and not to mention one of the Fairest. Aren't they supposed to just be front and center? Of course not. Not in a Freehold with this many Fairests over all. "I suppose I'm kind of a sci-fi geek and a foodie. I really like baking and such."

"I've had a lot of practice recently," she starts in response to what she's been up to, "It's nutcracker season, which means lots of performances and the like, but it's lots of fun. I have a recital coming up in February though that I'm also preparing for. My director 'finally convinced me' to do it," she uses air quotes. "I may be first chair of my section, but I don't always like being front and center." Why not? You loved it with me. She freezes just a moment before taking a breath. She knows it's never real, but it shakes her all the same. Of course, something she wasn't mentioning and wouldn't mention is the fact that she's finally moving in with her boyfriend. In a way, it's exciting news that she wishes she could share. But she knows better. Winter's gonna do what Winter's gonna do. "I'd love to have any of you there though. I'm no Lindsey Stirling entertainment wise, but I can keep an audience captivated. Usually." Another chuckle.

Cassandra watches as CW attempts to take R'lyeh to the dance floor for a dance break. "Heck yes." She cheers in response, though she herself isn't quite ready for a dance break. Maybe another drink or two will get her there. And she takes another sip of her drink.

[Rlyeh]

She laughs before she can help it and then looks started like she wasn't expecting the sound to have come from her. Looking between Sonnie-Worm-Cassandra-Roshon-Seraphina and swallows around a lump in her throat.

Cassandra's words echoing. Because once. Before. She'd always did that, there was no shame, no fear, no doubt. Not until. Hand curling around her glass, she knocks it back and takes a greedy gulp!

Coughs a bit, because she's out of practice, but yes. She looks the Wizened, and the makes-sense-with-a-tail-Beast and "Maybe we could get a brand deal...." it doesn't come out as strong as she'd like it to, but she says it. And gets up. She was here, she'd cut up her cupcake shirt, and they'd invited. They weren't making fun of her.

So.

She tries to remember. And listen and she - moves - smiles.

[Seraphina]

Taking another eager sip, cause, yum!

“I’ll have to remember that next time, wear comfy shoes that are good for dancing. And are still cute!” cause the last part was important. Really important. Shoes could make or break a whole outfit. “And if the shoes aren’t ok, then I say we just take our shoes off!” which was probably gross and unsanitary, maybe against some weird rule. Well, they could just talk to her and she’ll take care of that.

Joining in with Sonnie in cheering for Worm. Had to respect and love his attitude and carefree nature.

Then a cheer for Cassandra at her news, “First chair! That’s awesome, you def deserve it and have the talent.” Nodding, then looking to the rest, “Seriously, she is hella talented.” True story.

And then R’lyeh joins Worm! Was the Nix surprised? Yup. Was she smiling and cheering for her? Damn right. While she wasn’t as good as Worm, she was out there and trying! And to Sera, that was awesome!

[Colonel Worm]

Worm's well aware that he's a charming dude. Sometimes other people don't see it, but that's their shit not his.

Still, he hadn't quite expected R'lyeh to join him. So he's genuinely surprised, excited even, when she stands and walks out onto the floor.

She's got moves too! "Damn girl--do it!" he cheers her on, thrilled by the slight lowering of her inhibitions. Filled with a strange kind of joy to see her forget, if only for a moment, all of it.

He bounces around her, the consummate hype man. Matching his movements to hers, but letting the Elemental be the star of the show.

Happy.
