In the atrium of the garden's largest cave, a breath-taking ballroom has been carved out of the crystal itself by the expert hands of dwarves and earth druids. The dance floor glimmers in the gentle lighting, which radiates from an enormous, flower-shaped, crystal chandelier that hangs above it. Light glistens off the carved surfaces of the cave in exotic patterns, giving the illusion of movement. Some of the patterns are even shaped into those of people or animals and objects that appear to sway with the music. A spell has been cast such that a silvery moon hangs in the air above the entire gala, and the dancing lights twinkle like stars beside it. Rows upon rows of tables and chairs line the hall so that weary dancers may rest and partake of snacks and drinks. An orchestra plays at the forefront of the dancefloor, their mastery of musical talent completing the atmosphere. The cool air of the cave is a comfort against the hot cheeks of the joyous dancers who feel as though they are truly in another world. [OOC] Everyone that participates in this topic will receive a special, free item for the holidays! Feel free to incorporate this item into your posts, and enjoy the change of season! Be sure to thank Redfiver for the great ideas about this year's theme. This topic is intended for all the dance-related activities, and the festival events are happening outside. Is your character not the dancing type? You can still receive this prize by posting in the Spring Festival topic! It is to be a mostly peaceful here, so turning it into a massacre or similar travesty is disallowed.  Crystal Flower Description: An exotic flower from the spring gardens at the Crystal Caves. Every year these unique crystal formations expand in the springtime warmth and appear to blossom like flowerse. This crystal flower has been fastened to a small metal base so that you may wear it like a brooch, pendant, jewelery, or hair clip. When the crystal is cold it appears as a many-pointed shard of crystal structured like a closed rosebud. When it is warm, it blossoms and opens up into a flower-like crystal blossom. |

Deavon took a seat and looked around. He felt like coming, around. Well, this was good. Nice place, magic around. There would be plenty of people to meet, and people meant friends. More meants, certainty! He was now waiting for people. Who could he meet? Perhaps his one true love? He had in mind, a beautiful aasimar. Why An holy one? Because he was not evil. He was just Random...erhm.. Chaotic. No harm to the people in general. He did not wanted to hurt people really. But if he had no choice.... That was the law of life, perhaps the only rule Deavon truly respected. After all, it was a logic one. Rules made out of mortals, were not much. He did not trusted them. Humans, and others tend to bend them like they willed. The tiefling did not wanted to be bent to another's will. Perhaps they would be people who would agree. Well, we'll see. |

Higoru was not this type of person, his attitude did not even allow such activities to be apart of his daily life. He was not social, he was not a people person and above all else he was not a dancer. He was just not one of those people who could escape their comfort zone and risk their chances out on a floor for the mere amuzment of dancing. He could not see how it was done. His mind began to journey back and forth until he started to even qustion why he was their. He had no friends here, he had no woman to acompany him, after all he was a nobody in this world, a shadow that watched from afar and kept a open eye to every encounter. But he was here. In the crystal cavern of the waterfalls. The caves were lite with the bright colors that were being emitted from the flower like rocks at the base of the cave. It was magical how a damp wet dark place like this could be filled with so much wonder and magic. it baffled his mind. But he was not here to create small talk and enjoy a bout of laughing with old friends, no he was here to watch to sit alone in the darkness like he always did. The ball was a tad bit empty, most likelt it had just begun. He sat along on eof the carved out rock faces, the dampness on his hands and feet. He was covered so that if someone glanced in his direction their gaze would pass him over. |

Deavon looked around, most of the few people were in nice outfit. Not the tiefling, some were staring at him weirdly. Tiefling after all. He tried to be friedly and cool, but most of his race were following their inhuman nature, chaos, killing, death, destruction, despair, sadness. sorrow. Even Madness. Madness was close to random, which was a close signification into the factotum ways of doing things. So, was that making him a madman? Naah.... Though, a challenge came into his mind. He sat up all of a sudden. And went on the dance floor. Straigth in the middle. Suddenly he rose his hand, bright with healing light, for those who knew the magic. In fact he was trying to make some nice firework spell....But well, he did what he could. Using the modest acrobatic skills he had, he tried to dance.... People scattered to glare at him. What a freak show.... He did so for a minute or two, then went to thhe side of the ballroom and crossed his arms. He sighed, he wanted someone to talk to, he did not want everyone to run away from him, and keep their distance. The world was so cruel. Stupid so called ''common laws''. |

Ulfr gasped as he strode into the ballroom. The walls were magnificent, with light dancing on the walls giving birth to shadowy figures and their own form of dances. There many people of various races all around, with dwarves, elves, humans, and even some races Ulfr had never seen before. But nothing matched the beauty of the one he was waiting for. Mirage. Ulfr stood by the entrance in a way that she would be sure to see him in his black silk jeans and shirt, a gift from Nathan Woodson when he and Higoru had saved his daughters. Speaking of Higoru.... Uflr chuckled to himself as he recognized Higoru's scent and wondered what the ninja would be doing in this place at this time. One could only guess. Ulfr looked down in his right hand and viewed the token he had brought Mirage; a single, crimson rose. "Ichirin no hana," he muttered with that wolfish grin on his face. |

Mirage was in a estatic mood. Tonight she was going to the spring Ball that imythess held every season in celebration for the renewing of the season. And she had been asked by a very speacial someone to go and attend the ball with them. So tonight she was excited, plus she just adored dances and festivals. All the merryment and joy, the bright lights and the sense of magic all around. It filled het with joy at the thought. So as she headed out for the falls where the ball was to take place, she simply slipped into her dress and fluttered off. The cave entrence was before, under the waterfall the bright lights could dimly be seen from inside. Apparently there was also a outside section to the ball, where people had moved out wards into the gardens. But her destination was inside, and in the arms of her awaiting date. With her left foot first she stepped into the crystal chamber, her eyes growing wide with amazment at all the magic and wonder inside the domed cave. She began to calmly and slowly walk out an dinto the Ball room. In her mind she was beautiful this night. Her flowing purple hair was tied up in a bun and her face was plastered with blues an dlavenders. She hoped that she had not over done th emake up, but did not really care. Her long cream coloered dress hung about three inches off the ground, and her cyrstal like slippers tip toed across the floor. Many people were dancing and haveing a good ole time, a few were resting in some chairs and many had begun to mingle and chat along the side. But she was looking for one man in particular, ulfr. His dark hair matched his cloths tonight. He stood as if waiting for someone. She gently strode up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder, wisphering so that only he could hear. And who might you be waiting for this evening? she was going to be very playful tonight, so full of energy and joy it was hard to stay calm tonight. |

Buddy, to be perfectly and utterly honest, was there for more of a monetary gain. He wasn’t lucky enough to have a beautiful woman to dance with, though he could still enjoy the monetary beauty of the crystals surrounding the room that weren’t actually important in any way. They were mostly hidden aesthetics, and some jewelry from rather rude dancers. He was wondering which would fetch more, the jewelry or the crystals. He was even thinking himself a bit sad. Here he was a t a great event, plenty of happy people dancing around with another, enjoying the event and most likely forgetting about work, while Buddy on the other hand was skillfully snatching generally unnoticeable valuables from anybody who ran into him and just kept going. He let out a sigh, looking up to his black bob-tailed cat that was sitting on one of the seemingly swaying crystal statue shoulders, looking out at the crowd of people. He seemed to be enjoying himself quite well, and Buddy didn’t even really have any other clothes than what he was wearing. He was the only one in the dance who actually looked like he should be on deck with a bunch of bearded scoundrels sailing the seas in search of treasure. And currently, he was finding at least a good small fortune in the room. He stealthily slipped another small crystal into his magical bag before walking over and sitting at a table and looking out at the dancing crowd with a slight sense of envy. He would have preferred actually dancing rather than going around and picking the pockets of narcissistic fat-cats who were probably claiming to their dance partners that they were solely responsible for the event. Buddy gave a groan slip from his mouth at the thought as he slid down in his chair. Listening to the music of the dance and seated away from people who were about to just jump back into their dancing. |

The tiefling looked around. No poeple he knew... Wait did saw...? Yes it was her! The Half-fairy! Mirage! And it looked like she had some firneds of her own too. As he went to walk to the group chatting, he saw that human stealing a crystal. Deavon simply smiled and waved at him. He didn't care much about such a thing. In anycase he reached the shadowy character, a white haired human, and the cute half fairy. He placed his hands on her shoulders. ''Mirage! Been awhile! How are you? So those two are friend of yours?'' He grabbed both man opppsite to his own,s to make a weird looking like handsahke. A two verus one Handshake like situation. He smiled happily, his tail waving behind him like an happy cat....With a Demonic tail. ''Nice to meet'ya. I'm Deavon, and you two are....?'' |

Ulfr heard a whispering behind him. "I'm waiting for someone that should be fined for being so beautiful, thats who," Ulfr turned and smiled his wolfish grin as his eyes beset the one of his affection. Mirage was dressed in a cream-colored dress that when wore by her, outshined all others. She wore make-up of various blues and lavenders; she hadn't gone over the top, and she wore it like a master. Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere a man appeared behind Mirage and shouted greetings. He then grabbed Ulfr's and the man's behind him hands and shook them vigorouly. This pissed Ulfr off, for some odd reason, probably because this was supposed to be his and Mirage's night, but he didn't show. He wanted to crush the guys hand, but refrained. He did, however, grasp it firmly to display his discomfort to the man, but not to much to offend. It actually came off like a regular, firm handshake, so...no discomfort displayed. Oh well. "I'm Ulfr; its a pleasure," Ulfr replyed with a barely noticeable false smile. Not even waiting for him to answer, he turned to Mirage, and lifted her left hand to his lips and kissed it. "Might I have this dance, my lady?" he asked, and kissed her hand again. |

Wade Winston Wilson, the Merc with a Mouth, was having a blast, a nice white tuxedo over his goofy red and black outfit as he danced with some woman he didn’t even really know, a druid or something like that, who, while they were dancing, was talking about the crystals, Wade didn’t really care about those, though they were shiny and probably worth good money, the druid chick was hot and blonde! Every time she made another comment about the crystals, Deadpool turned it into some goofy line about her, or something, something that made her laugh. Blondes were pretty easy to make laugh, which is why Wade was already on the path to getting lucky. He just knew it was the awesome suit and his awesome air of pure awesomeness. A few times he ran into some blonde pirate guy, once even making a comment about him constantly getting in the way, no apologies, no zip! The merc didn’t bring his words, but oh boy did he still have his dagger and half-way to stabbing the pirate-guy when he remembered he didn’t want to strike out with his dance partner. Not even the obnoxious constantly narrating voice in his head could make this situation bad, no, that would probably take somebody else, somebody he would just have to talk smack to just to get to leave. Eventually the hot druid blonde girl said she had to go deal with something real quick, Wade had his suspicions but he threw them to the wind, immediately making his way to one of the tables and start getting some food. His eyes widened when he saw his favorite food-stuff on the table, Chimichangas! He immediately rushed over and moved the part of the mask from his mouth so he could eat, though at the same time showing a forest of bad scars on his neck and jaws. |

Mirage was happy, in a very good mood. Ulfr made her smile with his comment about her, which she knew he meant. Turning around his eyes met hers, and sent a spark through the air. She blushed a little as he kissed her hand. The dance lights played off both of their faces, creating a array of colors that seemed to dance in rhythem with the beat of her heart. Suddenly a tap on her shoulder took the attention away for a split second. Turning to see who had tapped her, she smiled more as she saw deavon, the man she had met in the magic floating city. The night was just full of surprises. A dance partner worth all the stars, beautiful lights and flowers, and the merry friends and creatures of imythess she had come to love. Looking back to ulfr as deavon introduced himself, the werewolf looked aggervated. not mad but a little disappointed or something like that. Mirage thought it was jealousy kicking in, the fact that she was their for him, and was being kind to others also. With a giggle she laughed at the both of them. Then ulfr offered her to dance, which made her more than happy. Of course i shall dance with you! She smiled and took ulfrs hand, walking out onto the dance floor. But suddenly she stopped and turned, looking over her shoulder at deavon. Wait..you dont look like your hear with anyone. How about after i dance with ulfr i dance with you? She knew ulfr would not like that, but she was not going to just leave her friend their with no one to dance with. she wasnt ditching ulfr, just dancing with a friend. Bu the was first, so turning back to the man she hoped he was not mad and still wanted to dance. |

Mirage giggled as she led Ulfr to the dance floor, but she stopped and turned to the one known as Deavon, offering him a dance after Ulfr since he didn't seem to have anyone. Ulfr looked at her with a face, but then he smiled. "I'm going to get a cavity you're so sweet," he said, as she was trying to not leave her friend. Ulfr turned to Deavon and spoke "But no funny business," as he wagged his right index finger at him. Ulfr grabbed Mirage's right hand with his left, his right on her waist. He led her stepping left, left, right, left, left, right, left, left, right. He then swung her around and brought her back, leaning her in his arms, his nose touching hers; he gently kissed her precious lips, enjoying every second of it. "Ichirin no hana," he whispered, as he raised her back up. He repeated his steps, but instead he twirled her several times. Each time he brought her back, he softly kissed her. "I'm the luckiest ever," he said to her, grinning that wolfish grin of his. |

The tiefling was no fool, the only one who seemed happy to get contact with him, was onc eagain the cute half-fairy. Though, that white haired one was..looking annoyed. Because of what? He was close to Mirage? Wait, Jealous? He did not understand, it was kind of exciting to the factotum. It was the first time ever someone was jealous of him. Well, why was he jealous, he looked firendly with her, he thougth as they went to the dance floor. A bit too friendly... The ever happy face of Deavon slowly faded away. So the cute ones were not for him. He sighed. As soon as Mirage turned his head to him, his smile came back on his face. He did not wanted her or Ulfr, to know about his...Feelings? A spark came in his mind. Wait, this was more then the usual friendship he wanted out of her. He wanted to pass more time with her. He could not believe himself! He was...In love? He too, was jealous. Now he understood the human (looking of course). He nodded of happiness, and was fully red, shy of that feeling flowing in his veins, his heart. Then Ulfr came to tell him about not doing anything funny. The tiefling cockily winked at him.''But being funny is what i do best pal!''He simply hoped the dance would not last too long. |

Endymion was in shock; the beauty of this crystal hall was astounding and he was hard-pressed not to just sit and stare at the beautiful craftsmanship of the dwarves and druids. However, he was here to enjoy himself and dance, not just ogle. With a second's hesitation, Endymion stood up and absentmindedly pulled at the clothes that he'd worn; he wasn't used to wearing such fancy garments, but he'd known that he had to look nice in order to fit in. And the people around him were certainly dressed nicely. Endymion hadn't been dancing for a year or two, so he was initially afraid that he'd be rusty. However, in his first dance with a young elven woman, he was nearly as graceful as she was, to their mutual delight. They whirled in slow, graceful spirals in time to the beautiful, pulsing music that pervaded the air around them. "The crystals here are beautiful, don't you think?" Endymion asked pleasantly, and the elven lady nodded, smiling dreamily at the flower formations that people were wearing. Endymion smiled, too, and let her go; she spun away and joined another partner, and they were graceful, too. Endymion sat down again to admire the beautiful crystal formations around him. He couldn't help it; of all Nature's creations, these crystals had to be among the most beautiful. Another thing that was beautiful about this place was the fact that it was so peaceful. There were fairies, tieflings, aasimar and werewolves and not a single hint of violence tainted this beautiful scene. Endymion sighed in contentment and just looked about, happy to be part of such a scene. |

Hollis looked around. She had just entered a beautiful ball room. Looking around, she saw a few seats that no one was sitting in. She decided to set at a table that looked just about empty. Why not? I am only to please a friend. I don't really want to be here. How cared if I just sat around and looked at everyone? Hollis had sat down and was looking around when she noticed that there was table near by with some people talking. Just starting a conversation.Hummm, I thought that everyone was talking to everyone else already. I didn't think that anyone wouldn't be talking to some one else. How selfish of me! But, I must say, yes the are quite beautiful. I wonder if they usually choose places so pretty? I should ask someone. As she looked around, Hollis saw some people where dressed up more then others. Maybe she was under dressed. Hollis was wearing a Light Blue silk dress that went to her ankles, a pear of dark blue flats, and a necklaces of gold with an Alexandrite gem in it, as it is her birth stone. Hollis looked down at the stone and thought of AD, and the rest of her family that she hadn't seen in about a year.I wonder the rest of the family is up to. Maybe I should go down there some times soon and visit them. I don't if they would want to know that I found out who AD was though. They it such a secret form me. I don't know. Maybe I well go down and visit for my Birthday? A sort "Surprise" Visit for my mom... Hollis then decided that she was hungry and went to get some food and listen to the music. Maybe I well go and ask if I can sing a song for them, give them a brake. Then Hollis looked out at how many people there in the crowd. Or maybe I won't. It all depends on how I fell Hollis looked through the crowd for someone that she knew that would want to talk to her. She was coming up as empty as her seat was filled. She noticed, while she was scanning, that someone had taken her seat. "I guess that I am not going to seat there again. Who is that...? |
