Light of May ::: an original roleplay

Who: Kikuya, Whisper, and Makoto (NPC)
Where: Whisper's home
When: 5:01pm (fashionably late, oh yeah!)

Kikuya wished she had been joking at the fact it took her all day to get ready for the party.... but no, seriously, it took her all freaking day to get ready. She went out of her way to hire a variety of people to come by and do her hair, nails, make-up, and even fancy Makoto up for the evening. He was not thrilled about receiving a bath, but he was absolutely precious once he was all cleaned up, completely with a diamond collar with a titanium bell. Only the best for her little familiar. Once the model was done finishing off her look, the limo she had called up for earlier had arrived. Perfect timing, as always.

Though she wasn't headed to the party right away. She had promised one of her favorite designers, if not THE favorite designer, that she would stop on by. Who cared if she was late to the party? Kikuya was sure Cecilia could manage as well. She would pick her up once she was done catching up with Whisper. Upon arriving at her destination, Kikuya grabbed her belongings, along with the Louis Vuitton bag that held Makoto, and strolled on up to the door to ring the doorbell. God, I haven't seen her in forever! I hope she has some new dresses for me to check out, if not take home with me.

Who: Ben and Amelia
Where: Amelia's doorstep
When: At about 3PM

It had been in the middle of Ben's final fitting for the tuxedo he would be wearing to the Moriarty event later tonight that he had gotten Will's text message; he was supposed to make himself scarce for the afternoon, again, probably up until near 6:30PM, at which time he had to go home, get ready, and then go pick up Autumn for the party. And it did not take Ben long at all to decide this time he wouldn't be having a long coffee break by himself; in fact, this was possibly the excuse he needed to try and get Amelia to go out with him again, if only for coffee. Nobody except Will knew of what Ben didn't like to call obsession over the High School Principal; it was more of a really strong attraction that had been sneaking into his brain quite a bit lately. Amelia was an interesting woman and there was something about her that attracted Ben, but he wasn't obsessed. That was just creepy, and Ben was not creepy.

It did not take him long at all to strip out of his tux, get it properly packaged, pay for it and drive away to Hilltop Road, where Amelia lived. As he parked up to the curb, Ben checked himself on the rear view mirror, and then dashed off to Amelia's doorstep. He rang the bell, and waited.

Who: Nixie and Ross
Where: The museum where he works
When: Early evening

I must be out of my mind, Nixie thought to herself as she leaned against a doorway, legs shaking with the effort that she had used to walk here. I don't even know what I'm looking for, she could be anywhere! Out my mind, letting her and that merman try and tell me that there's nothing wrong with being on land. Well there's plenty wrong! Like the legs, oh, Nixie could go on for days about all the reasons why legs were more trouble than they were worth. Not to mention the clothes that she had needed to pull on so that she wasn't stared at more than she knew she would be. They didn't even fit right, belonging to her sister like they did, but Charlene never had to know that she had borrowed them. Unless she found her, of course, then she'd see it for herself. But Nixie was beginning to doubt that that would happen.

Where am I even? the mermaid wondered, looking up at the building she was leaning against. Her eyes narrowed briefly, then widened at what they saw. A museum! That was where humans took artifacts and other important things so that people could look at them. Half the reason why I can't find things in the shallow seas, damnable humans taking them. Pushing herself off the wall, and wobbling slightly, Nixie slipped in through the door as a woman and a small human came out. It was nothing at all like she had expected a human building to be, having a rough idea (or so she thought) from what she had seen of their ships... but wow, there were so many directions to choose from. Looking at a large, raised thing she saw that it labeled each area according to what was there. Guess that makes sense. Nixie studied it for a moment before turning and heading towards what she thought would be the area where the art was.
