7:00, nothing yet. Amazing lollies, though.

*If you have something to add or something has happened, talk to Deveny Ross and he'll put it in his notes.


{7:00 PM}
...
Deveny Ross walked into the gates, where he was greeted by two bulky guards who wore no expression to their face. He showed they his invitation, a slip of sealed paper, and they stepped aside to let him in. One of them wished him a good time.
The boy didn't like to go into such fests such as this, but some things in Noire Manner were just worth coming to find.
He passed the garden into the estate, noting the bright flowers and the neatly trimmed hedge. A servant was gardening to his side. He passed on to the building, walking calmly into the door. He was greeted by a rich sight: it looked like a ball room filled with people, milling about, with bright light casted from a chandelier and tables to the side, filled with wondrous food. He nearly let out a squeal at seeing the chocolate fountain, but fixed himself. This was no time for childish gigs. But nonetheless, he took a lollipop from a tray and slid it into his mouth. Mmmm, strawberry with a hint of mint.
There was a staircase ahead.
Deveny adjusted his tie and went to go look. Tonight would be an uneventful night, or so he thought...
One day I will beat you fair and square, hey!

"Remember why we're here," a golden-haired pre-teenager snapped quietly. The brown haired male next to her sighed and showed his - and her - invitations.

"Yeah, yeah. We didn't get a say, just Leliana being her oh so polite and-"

"Don't even start, Demione."

"Whatever you say, Sunnygirl."

The blondette was a simple "commoner", though her origins say else. She was set to be the male's future wife, living in a semi-far country. It was only because her soon-to-be sister-in-law told the host or hostess that the young teen and preteen would be there.

The brown-haired male was not in the mood for party. Despite this party, he refused to be even remotely classily dressed. Some may think otherwise, with his deep blue fancy overcoat, pale gloves, generally fancy attire. But Code:Sunstorm knew otherwise.

Code:Espinoire, her soon-to-be husband strolled through the courtyard, admiring the trimmed hedges and many fountains. Code:Sunstorm knew better, and her main focus was just to get in and sit around, maybe socializing with other invites. But Code:Sunstorm and Code:Espinoire were met right before the room with all decorations, the ballroom.

The man was maybe seven feet tall. "Mystique?" Code:Sunstorm inquired.

"Hmm?" Code:Espinoire, also known as Mystique, responded, obviously bored.

"Who's that?"

(When the others come, I'll interact with each of you separately unless we're all together, describing scenery and stuff.)
Deveny Ross examined the stairs, looking for aome kind of hitch or hatchet. But he was to be disappointed. After minutes of searching, nothing prevailed.
He sighed and came back into the party, where people chattered and walked about, making conversation. He wound his way around most of the groups, avoiding interaction entirely. Perhaps later...
He took out a small handkerchief out of his pocket and proceeded to souvenir some suclera from the food table.

(What's with all the 'Code:' s in your post Guzma? I don't really get it)
Ichigo had arrived just in time and she looked at the two huge, according to her, bodyguards, she at first felt intimidated by them but, cooled herself down thinking 'they're just bodyguards, no kidnappers', she then showed them her invitation card nervously and then walked in when they let her, she looked around as she saw the hedges, the garden and the gardener and finally reached the building, in other words walking the same path as Deveny. She entered the big doors and once again felt, nervous, intimidated and slightly scared of the grandeur as she looked around. She was dressed nicely for the party and her ears were pink all along from embarrassment about her look, she hadn't planned on socializing but still she dressed up elegantly for the ball.

Leo who had arrived five minutes earlier to Chii had been observing only since coming, when he entered the building he was fazed even a bit and just shrugged it off, he was dressed casually as he wanred to feel comfortable tonight for some reason. He was waiting in one place for a girl who would catch his eye so that he could go and ask her for dance.

(Code is basically their codenames. Code:Sunstorm is a longer term for Sunstorm, though Lauren goes by Code:Sunstorm. Code:Espinoire = Espinoire/Mystique, formal term.)

Jean was minding his business, standing outside the doorway. He was nervous to walk in, but her pretended like he was waiting for someone.

"Mystique?"

"Hmm?"

"Who's that?"

He turned to see two young teenagers - or so they appeared. The girl was in a grayscale night sky dress. The male had his right eye covered. He had a deep blue overcoat on top of a white shirt, dark grey leggings and pale blue shoes. "It's rude to ask about someone who's listening," Jean muttered calmly.

"S-Sorry, we were just trying to get by," the blondette squeaked, dragging 'Mystique' behind her.

(I think he’s just doing that because those are their code names)
(Oh yeah, guess, maybe you you don’t talk to Deveny yet until something interesting has happened, but it’s your choice. The options are to either just hang around or approach some of the guests.)
The banquet was quite good, but he didn’t serve himself anything else save for the pink lolly he was already sucking. He didn’t trust food. Nor any of these guests. A few more had just come in, most of them younger than him one or two years or so, the second to last girl looking nervous. He frowned, then went to survey and calculate the guests at the party. There was a man who was dipping overly chocolate onto his cake, a woman greedily shovelling treats and appetizers onto her plate and a couple slow dancing in the edge of the room.
Either than that, everything looked normal.
The boy was feeling slightly famished, so he decided to pick an innocent looking sandwich on a toothpick and finished it in two bites. As he brushed the crumbs off his attire he noticed, out of the corner of his eye, a lady approaching the balcony of the stairs, looking down at the banquet.
I take that that is Lady Noire, house owner of this mannor. He thought, looking up at her. She looks grim. I wonder why. She should be happy about the newborn baby.
Lady Noire didn’t speak, yet cast her gaze down below. A slim butler stood behind her, acting as a guard.
Deveny was too far down to see what the butler looked like, but he didn’t pay too much attention to that either. His gaze was fixed on the house mistress, trying to guess what was on her mind.

Both Ichigo and Leo's eyes stopped on Lady Noire descending from the stairs, they both were surprised by the look she wore on her face. Leo tried to shrug it off but he still watched her coming down, it felt out of place, weird that she wasn't happy

Ichigo was now sitting on a chair in a corner by the banquet where all the food was kept but she didn't eat a single thing, she wasn't hungry, rather she was now curious about Lady Noire

47 shook his head, a champagne in his hand. He saw a rubik's cube in the room and played with it.

Lady Noire waved her hand for attention, leading her Butler to ring a bell. The guests quieted down.
Deveny looked up expectantly.
"Dear guests, welcome and thank you for coming." She announced.
Everyone clapped politely.
(aahh gotta to school see you all later.)

(Bye bye)
Chii continued looking at Lady Noire, she too clapped like the crowd and a small smile appeared on her face as she looked at the woman who had just become the centre of attention

Leo too clapped for a bit and then stopped, he walked around to another end of the room

Jean had walked in by now, and clapped quietly along with everyone. He could see the two young people he encountered earlier. They were clapping, though not with as much enthusiasm as some. 'Mystique' guided the blondette to an area of the room so they could more clearly see Lady Noire.

Jean decided to follow, but stay behind everyone so they could still see.

Emily walked into the ballroom, an elegant white dress floating around her. She looked around. Wonder if I can get some good ideas for my next book here? she thought, turning and walking through the courtyard at the back of the manor, attempting to not disturb the handful of couples attempting to find a secluded area to... well, "hook up". She found a small area surrounded by bushes, and sat down, finding the mini typewriter she always carried around, beginning to type the second chapter of her novel.

"I am very proud to host this party, and I hope you have been having a wonderful time so far." Lady Noire continued. "Today, we celebrate the birth of my...son."
Deveny Ross frowned. She had hesitated before the word 'son'. Was she not happy with her child?
His coat swept the floor as he noted something down in his notes.

Madder stepped from his ride and approached the manor. Shuffling the cards he usually kept hidden in his sleeves as he walked, Madder flicked his right wrist as he approached the guards standing in front of the estate to prevent any undesirables from entering. The deck of cards was sent into his left sleeve while simultaneously his invitation entered his right hand. Flicking it outwards towards the guards, Madder slipped it back inside his coat as he was allowed entry. Straightening his hat, Madder walked briskly inside and began to observe his surroundings. A gentle clapping barely caressed his ears and Madder noted that most of the crowd appeared to be inside the manor. Very well then, he would join them. Madder entered the manor right as Lady Noire mentioned what this event would be held for. Intriguing, she hesitated in her speech. Was she nervous? Something was obviously wrong, but what was the cause was indeed the question at hand here. Still, Madder was no detective, so he decided for now it was not his business. He shrugged a little to himself and flicked his deck of cards back into his hands, resuming his shuffling, albeit a bit quieter than before.

Ichigo frowned lightly when Lady noire hesitated 'that's weird. Something's definitely wrong but wait, I shouldn't read too much into things, maybe she just paused for dramatical emphasis' she thought as she stood in her place in the corner of the big ballroom

Leo raised an eyebrow, 'ooh, Lady Noire's trying to seem like there's something wrong, but then, there really can be something wrong, lets keep a watch out for it but for now lets just keep it aside' he thought

(Now to get to some interesting stuff...)

Lady Noire was about to speak something else, but before she uttered she abruptly turned to her butler and asked something inaudible to him. The butler brought out what seemed like a small pocket watch and she studied it for a moment before giving the tiniest nod and spoke:
"I must be off, there is something I must attend to. Enjoy your stay, I will be back soon." And she hurried off upstairs, tailed closely behind by her butler. It was almost as if she was trying to leave the area as soon as possible.
Deveny frowned, his posture straight and aware. He pursed his lips, pondering.

Hints (for those who need it, of course, you could always do your own wanting, but you should only read the hints if you are stumped.):
Show hidden content

*You can try to follow Lady Noire, but this is not that recommended, unless you have a plan, because most likely you will be caught and sent back to the room, or worse, kicked out of the manor. This is an extremely risky course of action, and that might get you out of the game for a while. Oh yeah, if you do something very wrong, and end up trapped or something, you have to wait, because like, if you're a real life detective and you get caught, it takes a while to sort things out, right?
*You could talk to some of the guests. They might know something you don't.
*You could explore. This is also done on a smaller premises, because if you attempt to go to any of the other rooms the guards will stop you, unless you have permission from one of the house members.
*You could wait. Good things come to those who wait. Or do they?

Well now that was odd. Madder frowned a little. It seemed like she was extremely skittish tonight. Was that normal? Madder wasn't entirely sure, but his initial guess was no. He was tempted to tail the lady, but that could raise a few eyebrows. Plus, Madder was more of an information gatherer. His natural charisma and slight of hand tricks could charm quite a few people. Maybe he could find something useful by utilizing his abilities. Madder put his hands behind his back and began to walk around, looking for someone to talk to before approaching them and smiling. "Would you like to see a magic trick?"

Emily walked inside as Madder was asking about magic. "Of course! Magic tricks have always mistified me. Take a shot!" He said to the Boy with a top hat, laughing.

47 was there, he heard everything. He decided. He had looked like he was just wandering the premises, but he had been checking everywhere. He decided to follow Lady Noire, but use the vents.

Madder smiled a bit and began to shuffle the cards quickly. He then fanned them out to the lady and said, "Pick a card, any card."
