"If you had any idea what I've been through... Even ONE IOTA of how badly I've been hurt, how much I've been wronged...." he growled under his breath. "You IMPUDENT little WOMAN." he snarled. "You DARE to challenge my very presence here?!"

He raised his hand as if to backhand the angel, then lowered it, gritting his teeth, and sighing out a deep breath.
"You are. Trying my patience. Say what you want to say, and be gone. I do not have time for trivial matters tonight."

Meanwhile, the redhead on the other side of the room happened to glance over toward the other woman. He yawned a closed his eyes, listening intently to what was around him, trying to get a clue as to where what he was looking for was hiding.

[Rinni]

Wings folded up tightly against the angel's back as her eyes narrowed; it took everything she had not to flinch back from the threatening gesture. She really, REALLY did not like violence, especially when it was directed at her.

"You, sir, are an unpleasant man. No wonder you're standing over here all by yourself. And with that, I don't think have anything else to say to you." she said, her tone a forced calm. Jerk, jerk, jerk, freaking flipping jerk! Sticking her tongue out in a childish manner as a final gesture, Rinni turned on heel and walked away from the man. Hmph, stupid jerkface... bah.

[Rainbowfox Ari]

Johann turned his head away from the angel and said nothing more, although he looked like he would like to. He murmured quietly something beneath his breath, sighed, and shook his head. He wasn't actually angry, it seemed. Maybe he really did have things on his mind?

"... I'm sorry." the blonde said tersely. "You've caught me at a bad time."

[Rinni]

Rinni looked over her shoulder at the man, her gaze unreadable for a moment as she silently mulled over his words. "Eh, wouldn't be the first time someone's bit my head off. Don't sweat it." she said, shrugging once. It was almost dismissive, as if she were brushing off his earlier hostilities. Trying to hold grudges and staying mad took too much energy.

[DarkForbidden-Love]

Dark watched the man and angel argue and then stop. It was always odd to watch angels but it was the first gentleman thatt had entered that truely caught his attention. Even as Dark walked towards the red head he could not help but wounder how one approached a conversation.

[Rainbowfox Ari]

The redhead was deep in thought, but his eyes were open. Beautiful, bright green eyes to compliment his long blood-red hair. He seemed to be troubled, as his brow was furrowed, and his arms crossed, fingers tapping occasionally, a staccato tattoo of worry that was almost tangible. What, exactly, he was worried about? Was anyone's guess.
Dark wouldn't have to say a word, because the man noticed him first, executing a quick bow, and failing to stifle a yawn. Not from boredom, from exhaustion. Dark would be able - if he were quick - to catch just a glimpse at tiny fangs.

"I do hope you aren't bothered by our presence here." he started.

Unlike the blonde, who carried a soft french-sounding accent... this one's speech was heavily accented british, although something else was mixed in there, it wasn't clear what.

"We are searching for something... something I cannot discuss, but... I assure you we mean you no harm.." He shot a glance at Johann. "DESPITE how my 'friend' may act. He and I have both been... put through the ringer, as you say. It has not been a pleasant journey for either of us, and he happens to be taking it harder than I."

A soft, closed-mouth smile accompanied his words.

"I'm sure that there will be some more suitable... entertainment.. than Johann's tantrums. But in the interim, please forgive him."

"I HEARD THAT!" Johann shouted from across the room, causing the redhead to wince. The blonde turned back to the angel.

"Be glad it was not my father whom you approached in such a frame of mind. He would have made that statement literal. And probably relished it."

A sigh, then a moan.

"Oh, we're running out of time, and that fool of a man refuses to admit that there IS a time-limit... Miss, you haven't seen something that doesn't belong here, have you? It might look like anything... a person, a room, some sort of staff or necklace, even just a thought or a feeling..." He wrung his hands about, trying to explain.

"Something... that doesn't FEEL quite right... maybe it glows a bit?"

[DarkForbidden-Love]

"Your presence bothers me not." Dark said quickly to allievate the other's fears and ignored the others fangs. "And I shall endevor to remember that and not plave to much strain on the either of you two. Though Dark seriously doubted he would talk to Johann it was still the polite thing to say. "And I hear that there is supposed to be other /events/ later but for now it is just music."

[DragonDrifter]

[I am very tempted to feed Rinni sugar... :x]

[Rainbowfox Ari]

[DO NOT feed the Rinni sugar. You have no idea what you will bring down on us!]

[Lost_Ninja9213]

[>:) mmmm sugar....]
Ninja was quickly bored by the guests, with exception to the newcomers and a few others. She watched another guest approach the red-head, and exchange a few words. Then she noticed the red-heads eyes. Bright green!! so pretty!! She shook her head, but couldnt help herself. She walked straight up to the stranger and politely inquired "Good evening sir..do you care to dance?" Wait....Its a Halloween party!! and.....I'm supposed to be accompanying my cousin!! Yes, that was it!! Then she remembered what had just happened, and, cheeks burning red, dove behind a black velvet curtain.

[Rinni]

(( Yessss....feeeed a Rinni ssssugarrrr. o u e ))

Rinni chuckled at the joke, for clearly that's what it had to be. You couldn't literally bite someone's head off; that was just silly!

She paused, but only for a moment; she needn't much time to recall the odd appearance earlier. "Well, there was this odd little boy who just popped up out of nowhere. And he had music playing around him. He just kinda popped in, called us all droll, then challenged us to come find him so we could take him home. If that doesn't count as "odd", I don't know what does." She paused, then thought a moment. "Oh, and I can't find where the music is playing from. I don't see a sound system anywhere."

[DarkForbidden-Love]

[No keep sugar away from her. :O]

Dark stared after the one who had asked for the dance. "That was slightly odd."

[Rainbowfox Ari]

The redhead was unbothered by the sudden appearance and... er... disappearance of the young woman that had asked him to dance. He saw that she ducked behind a rather large velvet curtain. Shrugging as she darted away, he made another light bow toward Dark.

"I appreciate your cooperation in this matter. And although I cannot say the same for Johann, I can promise you that I, at least, will endeavor to stay out of your way so that you may enjoy the festivities."

Pausing in his speech for a moment, he moved slightly closer to Dark, dropping the level of his voice.

"However, if you notice anything out of the ordinary, don't hesitate to tell me." he said quietly.

Johann sighed, and shook his head again.
"No, nothing like that. THAT, is simply a wandering spirit. It has no bearing on our investigation whatsoever. I'm sorry to shoot down your idea, Miss, but... That's not what we're looking for. Something big. Catastrophically big. Huge. Colossal. But still maybe the size of a small insect, or a thought, or a misplaced word or sign...."

[DarkForbidden-Love]

"Out of the ordinary is every thing here." Dark said calmly. "Any more specific or are you just looking for a large rift of what doesn't belong?" Dark paused and decided that did not sound right, "Err, I mean could you feel anything besides its energy?"

[Rinni]

The girl paused, tapping her chin in thought. "I don't -think- anything like that has shown up. I haven't been here as long as some of the other guests, though, so I really can't say. Sorry." She then flashed her trademarked grin. "If I spot anything, however, you'll be the first to know. Sound good?" And by that, she meant she was going to help look. Even if she had no idea what in heaven's name she was looking for.

[Rainbowfox Ari]

[OOC Note: if I write something in BOLD - PAY ATTENTION. Because it's probably important.]


The redhead yawned a bit, then paused in thought before he started to speak again. He, unlike the blonde, tended to choose his words very carefully.

"What we're looking for is essentially a colossal tear in the fabric of reality. It's not easy to spot, because it isn't visible, but there will be obvious wrongness nearby. Such as sound playing with no speakers, things randomly flying around... even odd people that don't seem to belong..."

Another pause.

"It is imperative that we find the source of this tear, or else all of this place will sucked into it, and turned inside out. But... our presence here should make the tear appear at some point, so we can close it."

"Thank you, Miss. I appreciate you having the patience to weather my storm." Johann said quietly. "I do admit I can get a little... strange now and again. But gods if Redd isn't so infuriating sometimes..."
