(Should we start again now?)
(yeah but we can stall until @Demiphoenix1125 gets back)
(If they get back :P)
(sorry, i'm at school) Sam tugged on the hem of their black dress, feeling vulnerable and exposed. The sooner I can change out of this, the better. They smiled modestly at the guests their father was talking at, but the instant he turned his back on them, Sam ran into the nearby restroom to change.
Artemis waited outside the building, Derix was going to be late if he took any longer.
Derix rushed to the ball. He previously had to actually brush his hair for once, knowing that he needed to look presentable. He tugged at his tie.
Derix rush up. She eyed him up and down. "You look great." She said.
"Save me the sympathy." Derix said, moving his mask down from his forehead to his eyes.
She smirked. "I'm just telling you the truth"
Derix just nodded. "Let's go. I want to get this over with."
She nodded. She pushed open the door and they walked in. "The Game Master decided to do some kind of cyberpunk theme with 1980s music." She said, gesturing to the neon lighting.
"That's…interesting." Derix shoved his hands into his pockets as he observed the scene around them.
She peered over the crowd. "He's talking to some city officials right now."
"Well let me know when he's done. I'm not staying here longer than I need to."
"That depends." She muttered. "Want to dance or something while we wait?"
"With you?" Derix attempted to sound as kind as possible, but failed miserably.
Artemis shrugged. "I think that might be best. You haven't 'debuted' yet so I don't think it'd be proper quite to waltz up to a radom person here."
He sighed. "Fine. I'm warning you though, I'm not good at dancing."
She laughed. "It's not dancing so much as stepping with the beat with these peeps." She lead him out to the dance floor and listened to the music before saying, "Alright, you put your hand here." She placed his left hand on her hip. "And I put my hand here." She placed her right hand on his shoulder. "And then your other hand holds mine." She said. She glanced at the other pairs. "And now we just step side to side with the rhythm."
Derix sighed again, following Artemis's directions. Why am I doing this? For popularity? I don't know.
(Should they make small talk?)
(probably, otherwise Derix will do absolutely nothing)
(You want Artemis to say something first?)
