Standing in the corner wasn't doing anything for him, so Lucius decided he should meet some of the other guests. Noticing the two ladies discussing near him, he wandered over to them and waved. The first was Lovelle, the second being Juliet.

"Hello, ladies! Mind if I joined you?" He asked, bowing to each of them respectfully.

"O-Oh! I'm Juliet Wittth." She lifted the ends of her skirt and bowed. Her glasses nearly fell off her face, before she caught them in time. The woman seemed to be an entire nervous wreck.

"Pleathure to meet y-"

Juliet jumped, startled when Lucius entered the scene. She whipped around to turn to him, before nodding shakily, letting him join.

Damn, I’m late. Been pretty busy Too late to join?))

Elle couldn't help but laugh gently when Juliet introduced herself, shaking her head when her glasses almost fell off. She smiled gently and put a hand on her arm. "Hey, just relax. You seem way too nervous for this," she advised, the whole formal tone of voice gone, replaced by a much kinder and casual tone. She smiled sheepishly at the girl, rolling her eyes and gently laughing again.

She tilted her head when Juliet had stopped mid-sentence, unawares of the cause. It quickly caught up with her when she too jumped from a strange voice, making her hand twitch to her thigh area where a hidden knife was being stored. Thankfully, it was just another guest, so Elle swiveled on her heel, bowing her head kindly before curtsying to the stranger. "G'devening, sir. Please do, it would be our pleasure," she exclaimed, her formal tone magically reappeared. She gave Juliet a vague wink before a gentle and quiet laugh, turning her attention back to the stranger. "I am Lovelle September and this is Juliet Witts. Who might you be, stranger?"

"Lucius Mirikuo" Lucius replied. "Pleasure to meet your acquaintance."

These formal words had never been used from him before, and it almost scared him. Were the people at CORE programming him to say this? ...probably not since he's only a cyborg... but the girls didn't have to know that.

Juliet shot a quick glance at Lovelle, and gave a quick, covert nod, trying to still herself.

"Hey, tho, uh... Hey, where do you work?"

Juliet gulped, still sticking to her awkward conversation starter.

She offered him a tight smile before shaking her head fondly, sipping at her champagne. "You may call me Tsuki. It's a shame you don't drink, Aeon, or else you could have gotten them off your backs." She made sure to keep her tone gentle in order not to scare off the male.

Pausing mid-sip, she lazily waved her hand to the side and gestured to a group of men standing near the refreshment table. They all had champagne in their hands and all of their eyes were focused on him. The stares were neither curious or polite. "Those elites have been eyeing me the whole time I've been talking to you. It looks like they don't seem too fond of a lady like me meeting up with a fine gentlemen like yourself, although I might have been mistaken with their body language.. Either way, be very careful." She gave them a calculating stare in return and the group of men widened their eyes, scattering the scene as quickly as possible.

Aeon shrugged at the comment regarding the other gentlemen. "I am aware of their stares, it would not be the first time I'll tell you that much, I'll be careful alright. Although my reasons for not drinking are my own, you needn't worry about it." He gave a second glance at Tsuki, then around at the others, noticing several groups of people and others who seemed to dwindle their time at the gala alone.

He then returned his gaze to Tsuki after he was satisfied with getting a proper look at the place. "So, would you mind telling me about yourself Tsuki? I'm curious as to what types of people were invited as I was perplexed, to say the least, when I received my own invitation."

Replying to Juliet's question, Lucius explained "W-Well, my job isn't easy to explain... but I guess I could say that I'm like a 'secret agent' or something..."

Of course he didn't explain the extra details behind it. No one had to know that he traveled through universes. No one had to know that he was a cyborg. No one had to know that he now was working for a top secret society that fights indescribable creatures on a daily basis to keep humanity safe. He kept all of that a secret.

Juliet's eyes widened, before she pushed up her glasses. "Huh, I'm jutht a hithtory teacher... Heh, I feel like I'm the only perthon here without a fanthy job." She smiled.

She gave him the same calculating look she gave the elite's, though this time it was much colder than the one before. There were a lot of things at the tip of her tongue she wanted to express, but she held herself back. This wasn't the first time she had been tricked to reveal information and she wasn't about to give this Aeon the satisfaction of taking that part away from her, either. She held the stare with a keen eye, hoping that he would give up soon. She wasn't going to let him win.

"I'm just a downtown costume shop owner who likes to make elf accessories for cosplay..." She trailed off, hoping he would buy the excuse she gave. It wasn't as if she was lying as she did own a costume shop downtown that sold some of her handmade accessories, but her job was mainly to be a detective. The fancier name for her job was simply a 'weapon specialist'.

(( I think so.

(I compiled some of my characters into one character sheet. Juliet is still in the game.)

Would have been funny if Juliet died before the murdering even started.

She... She dies a lot.
