New Moore 103rd Homecoming Ball

[veryproud]

Who: Everyone.
What: The fancy anniversary/homecoming ball.
When: Saturday evening, November 9th.
Where: Four Saison's Ballroom.



[ You made it to the ball. Presumably, you will have an awesome time and/or be completely miserable.

Through the doors is a giant dancefloor, with a small orchestra on stage. They're playing beautiful music and later in the evening they'll be replaced with a DJ who will then pump up some sick beats. You can be like hot damn that's my jam.

This ball is full of fancy decorations, fine dining, dancing of all sorts, alcohol??, tears, everyone trying to look their best, and Dinkerton wearing a golden crown and high-fiving a crowned Coulson. The tables are circling the dance floor if you're going to sit down the entire time or you need to eat that food. ]

[There's nothing she can do to keep the fear at bay anymore. It freely distorts her features and she finds herself trying to look past Rudy, searching for Sirius' form, though she stops momentarily to look back at her dance partner with trepidation.]

...Wot did you do to them?

[Part of her is too terrified to want to know, the other part is morbidly curious.]

I've got a boyfriend; so wotever freaky little fantasy you got running in your head isn't gonna happen.

[geminated_man]

Just scared 'em a bit. Let them know I won't be so kind in the future. Might've taken a few teeth.. broken some bones. I don't remember all the details.

[ He looks back down to her face, expression still unchanged. ]

Didn't say I was concerned 'bout him. He's just another bloke poisonin' ya. Not that y'haven't done enough of that yourself.

[ His hold on her tightens just a little. ]

You're better than that smear of shit.

[easy_a]

You're mental, you know that, yeah?

[Her heart beats madly against her bosom, every nerve beginning to fray. It wasn't often anyone or anything got under her skin, and it was never to the degree to which Rudy was currently accomplishing. However, she wasn't about to let him trash the one person who had brought some form of sunshine back into her life.]

Don't fucking talk about him like that.

[Alisha restarts on her search of Sirius, and now, a way out of Rudy's hold. With every alarm bell going off in her head, panic is beginning to sink in.]

[geminated_man]

I've heard that. It's probably true, but I don't let it bother me.

[ Rudy isn't blind and easily catches her eyes drifting around behind him. His finger slips under her chin and tilts her head back toward him to force her to make eye contact with him instead. ]

Fucking... look at me when I'm talkin' t'you. Y'don't even understand the shit I've done for you. T'make you better.

[easy_a]

[She all but sneers at his interference, looking rather disdainful now that she's making eye contact with him again. Saturated concern for her own well-being and pride intermingle in both her expression and body language.]

Make me better? How the fuck does that make me better? The only thing it makes look better is getting as far away from you as possible.

Now let me go, you prick.

[Alisha attempts to push him away

[geminated_man]

[ He loosens his grip on her when she shoves at him, trying to make it look as seamless as possible, like he'd meant to step away from her. Luckily, it was just about as the song was ending. He places one arm behind his back and inclines his head a little toward her. ]

S' a small island, Alisha. I'm never far.

[ Rudy reaches out for her hand, placing a kiss on her knuckles before pulling his hand back to meet the other behind him. ]

[easy_a]

[Part of her wishes he didn't, that he let her make a ruckus, draw attention to what he had been doing. The other part is oddly grateful, knowing that she won't be involving innocent bystanders with someone lacking the mental restraints most people have. The former still wins out over the latter.]

Guess that means I'm moving into Sirius' shoppe. Have a grand old time getting past magic roadblocks.

[Whether she's bluffing or not... she herself hasn't decided on yet. Alisha's far too shaken to have any decision set in her mind. All she currently wants is to scurry back to Sirius, and the chaste kiss feels like it takes all too long. However, the second is free, she quickly turns her back to him and makes haste over to the perceived safety of her boyfriend.]

[alwaysimpure]

[Sirius might not always be the most sensitive, but it would take someone even less aware to not notice the stark contrast to how Alisha had been before. He wraps his arms around her right away, pulling her close and leaning in to whisper.]

You alright, love? You look spooked.

[easy_a]

[Only once she's in his arms does she let out breath she hadn't even realized she was holding; spooked might be an understatement.

She shakes her head.]

No. Can we just leave?

[alwaysimpure]

Sure.

[He leans down to kiss her, just a short touch of lips, more to just be there for her than anything else.]

Let's go.
