(( Good to know that! Shall we continue?
"Lucius," the hacker seemed to repeat quietly, her attention quickly thrown into a void of thoughts. Something about this person made an alarm in her head go off. She seemed to recognise that name, but she couldn't put a finger on it. Something about her hacking...
But, it didn't matter then, so she quickly shook away the stubborn thought, although the alarm was still going off in her mind. She decided to keep information brief, just in case.
Her attention was brought back to the male, who's identity was still ticking off the hacker, as he revealed his career. He seemed quite nervous and very vague around the subject, and that made the alarm scream even louder in her head. Dont trust him, don't trust him... But, she wasn't going to reveal her thoughts or intentions of finding out who this oerson was at all, so she played along.
"Ah, interesting. Well, Juliet, to be completely fair, I only have a part time job as a waitress, so I'm sure I take the prize for most dull job here," the hacker said, her lie seeming so simple that it was buy able, well, that was what she hoped, anyway. "I'm going to go an get a drink, either of you care for some champagne or something of the sorts?"

"Oh! Uh, if you could get me thome wine?" Juliet brushed the hair from her face. A part of her gave off the idea that she drank often. Not an alcoholic, but more than a teacher probably should.
"I'll have to pass for now. But thank you for the offer!" He responded. He wasn't a fan of drinking alcohol or wine, so he was used to being the only one without a drink.
His one problem was that he could hear Lovelle say his name over and over under her breath... and it just creeped him out. He didn't show it though.

"Ah, a costume shop. That is rather remarkable. I cannot say my line of work is consistent in putting food on the table, but it is rather rewarding. I'm a smith you see. Own a forge some reasonable distance from here. I make weapons, jewelry, trinkets and so much more. I'm not very popular however, so you could assume my surprise in receiving an invite to this gala, but perhaps I believe that I have sold marvelous things at low costs to this family, so there may be a correlation." He ruffled his hair, it was already messy enough as it had always been near impossible to tame, so it was just an act of thinking.
Aeon gave off a child-like vibe from his manner of speaking. And it was truthful to assume he was young, as he was merely 15 years of age standing at a measly 5'1". Despite his short form he was strong from his line of work, which had paid the bills and kept food on the table for him. Along with his childish demeanor he also gave off a sense of honesty. He was never one for lies as he knew they could lead to trouble. And it wasn't like he didn't lie, he just didn't always say the truth if he wasn't asked for him to reveal anything, which made him give a neutral expression and calm tone while there at the party.

Tsuki smoothed down the side of her dress as Aeon spoke, keeping her eyes on the man. He looked quite young, probably no older than she was. His eyes glassed over as he hurriedly explained his 'work of art' to her, a surprisingly mature look overshadowing his face as he took reign of the conversation. She chose to focus her gaze on a spot on the wall behind him, though at times her eyes would wander over to stop at his lips and eyes, slowly glazing and drowning his words into seemingly unimportant drunken slur.
Perhaps it was the champagne, she mused as she bit down on her lip, blood welling from the cut. She licked cute slowly, trying not to wince at the nip of pain. Either way, I shouldn't be losing to some hollow liquor.
She grounded herself, smiling a little as a waiter came over to pick up her champagne glass. She had to laugh when he ran hand through his hair once again, finding the nervous motion cute. It was rare that she'd see someone that was nervous because of the situation, not just because of her stance in a case or her reputation of being a ruthless weapon specialist- or underground spy, whatever you'd like to call it. "Mrs Moore may have bought some of your jewelry before. I've seen one of her social media posts depict a huge ruby ornament from a local jeweller," She reached out to pat his arm reassuringly, "You keep playing with with your hair, is the nearby crowd unnerving? Maybe you'd prefer we'd speak somewhere private?"

As she was given the orders, or no order in Lucius' case, the young woman nodded and walked swiftly away with no intention of getting drinks yet. She nodded to some people in a way of saying 'hello!' or 'good evening' as she passed by, quickly dodging into a corner, out of earshot as she possibly could be.
Even thought the girl worked alone, it didn't mean she didn't often have a helping hand. She fiddled with her ear which actually had a communications device in it, and she bit her lip, looking around her to make sure no one was looking her way, and she turned to face the wall, gently speaking as quietly as she could.
"You get that name, Grey?"
The young girl waited for a minute or so, biting her lip harder, hoping her friend hadn't been found or something.
"Yo, Grey? You copy?!"
A quiet yet loud enough for it to ring through the hackers ears, ring went off, and there was the sound of pressing buttons before a cute, soft yet feisty voice shot through the com and into the brunette's ear.
"Yeah, yeah! I'm here, keep yir' socks on."
A sigh of relief came from the girl, and she glanced behind her to check no one was looking again, before turning her attention back to the device.
"Right. Do me a favour and search my files for a 'Lucius Mirikuo', alright?"
"Yep, got it Elle." More typing could be heard from her friend's side of the line. "It's loooaaaading. You need faster-- oh, wait."
"Grey, I'm a hacker, of course I have super fast wifi. How long have you known me?!" A soft laugh escaped the girls lips, and another glance around followed. "Quick, results. I've not got much time."
"Hmm... nope, nope, nope... Not that I can see, boss! I'll do some cowering and blink through if I find anything. Just call if ya' need me!! I'm here for support!!"
"You're here for way more than support, babe." The girl let a small smile cross her face as she fiddled with her ear-piece again, turning it on one way, and she backed out from the corner, wishing her friend good luck on the research.
The young woman finally made her way over to the drinks, and she managed to grab a glass of wine and a glass of champagne for herself, before gliding back to the two she'd been conversing with. "Sorry for the wait, Juliet. Everybody's wanting some drinks!" A soft laugh came from the girl, but it was almost distant. She handed the wine over to her new acquaintance, before tossing a forced smile to Lucius. "Anything interesting happen while I was gone?"

"I mean, other than me being a nervouth wreck, not really." She laughed at her own joke and took the glass, taking a pretty sizable sip from the glass.
"Oh... Uh... Hehe..." He cast an almost nervous glance around before nodding. "Y-Yeah, I'm not used to being around such large crowds. Not to mention my height always making me a touch intimidated by others taller than me. I'd rather get away from the crowd." He ruffled his hair again, yeah it was his nerves getting to him.
"Just I'm not very popular so I don't attract large crowds... You know? I don't really like having to be with this many other people close together in one room." He gave a second nervous glance around, once more seeming intimidated at being one of the shortest there.

(So, it's pretty clear that whoever we're waiting for is not coming. It's been, like, 2 weeks. And nothing but small talk has been going on. )
)
(( Should we just continue without them then? I mean, it's a group vote, so... ))
(I'd say so.)
((Yes, they're definitely not turning up now, although it is obviously up to Insxmnivc if we move on without them, because it'll be too late for them to join. I vote we do move on, but I can't say the same for anyone else, of course.))
((I also vote move on since I'm gonna end up killing them first at this rate. Please do give me a day or so to update information because my schedule is quite full in real life. Sorry I haven't been online lately!!))
((Sure thing. And I'm also in favor of moving right along.))
"I understand fully. It's like being a germaphobe and having the worst germs stuck in the same room with you, making your arms itch with irritation and nervousness- and you never know what to say when people probe you for information about your 'fear of germs'. Some even go out of the way to criticize your fear and say it's irrational, but what do they really know?" She slipped off her heels and stood on the ground, barefooted, grinning at Aeon, "Now I'm shorter!"
((Alright, here's an update: Nova has quit because the literacy limit is too high for them, so he's going to be the 1st victim. Reasons are because he's a good character (and I liked him v much xD) and I think it's better to use him as an example for a trial than for the dying person + everyone else to be confused. Less confusion. Any who, the official killing game will start whenever Elias enters the RP as a speaking person- so be prepared.
You all are welcome to mail me ideas for killing motives and plots if you have any. I have one for the first round already so you are all safe- for now.))
