[color=silver][color=darkseagreen][i][b]Kenneth Sokolvo[/b][/i][/color] [hr][u][indent][sub][color=silver]Day of the Dance| Mather Memorial High School[/color][/sub][/indent][/u] [hr] [color=darkseagreen][i]"Hahahaha-"[/i][/color] Kenneth laughed as he wiped a tear from his face while he walked down the sidewalk with several friends of his who cracked a few jokes and talked about school. Starting from his left, there was Alex and her boyfriend Michael who were dressed up in garments from the Wild West as they decided it was just a costume party and were having fun with it. Then to his right was Marion and Nickoli whose skin reflected light off perfectly like dolls and they were dressed up like that as well which was their theme. Pretty eerie as they were inspired by Dollhouse by Melanie Martinez. Together the three groups all went to each other houses to help out with each other's costume and provide critique on what they liked or what could be improved. After various amounts of time on preparing each costume, they had finally finished so it could be worn to the dance. The costume that Kenneth decided to make, headed off into a different direction for the traditional scary for something more unique in the tradeoff. Coming up with the idea to make a steampunk outfit which would serve the theme very well, it no doubt burnt some cash in the savings and time to invest in setting it all up. It was all worth it as he fixed his brocade vest which was the decorated piece of the outfit with intricate designs that vaguely looked like bronze gears on a black backdrop. The intricate designs furthermore glowed a luminous yellow that had been used in a black light party before and would be useful tonight in the dark. Shifting his vest as best he could with the restraint of the leather harness, moving the trench coat he was wearing which had a punkish look for its simple yet fitting style while resting open on top of the vest. With one of the shoulders being noticeably covered by a metal shoulder plate with a red hand-print before extending down by the extension of several other plates as it reached the very tip of his hand before encased in a gauntlet. Finishing off the iconic style with the traditional top hat, attached with a pair of goggles that accented the look along with several other smaller things in his outfit. Such items were like the pocket watch that was slipped into his pocket and the ring that was slide onto the leather glove on the opposite side of the metal gauntlet or perhaps the dark leather boots which matched with the theme. The costume was certainly complex and no doubt stuffy but it was the price to simply look good, as the group finally got into the line that was out of the door. With Kenneth fidgeting around as he finally placed on the mechanical looking contacts which glowed a pale blue in the dark along with the warm light of the yellow vest. However, that wouldn't do as Kenneth focused a little bit of his power for a little subtle use, making his eyes gleam vibrantly and glow in the darkness. Placing a dull yellow masquerade mask over his face with small details onto the metal that barely visible under the light of his glowing eyes. Finishing adding the final touch to his costume, he resumed to chat on with the group and move slowly ahead as they approached the front of the line, wondering what was taking so long before finally paying at the front door and entering inside. Looking around at the different costumes that were already inside and comparing some of the most interesting ones. Kenneth's own glowing figure didn't distract him, but it gathered the attention of many people and even fewer who complimented him on the 'contacts' which was partially true and clothing. Checking himself out to make sure everything was in place, the warm glow of his vest was still fine as it was partially covered by his coat. His eyes were also fine, as they radiated a chilling pale blue that were too ethereal to not look at for a second time or stare into underneath his mask. Smiling once again when he brush off some imaginary dust off his shoulder, he continued to walk around the room until saw some of his friends. There were some who dressed up which he complimented and those who didn't who he stuck his tongue out and talked to briefly before disappearing back into the crowd as best he could. Having his heavy footstep follow one after another, looking through the crowd of people to see the competition that he was facing. Moving his way through the crowd, he gave a brief welcoming to several of his classmates like Belle and exchanged a few words before leaving her to search for costumes. Elroy was one of those who dressed up and in which Kenneth talked to briefly and complimented on his costume before slipping out for reconnaissance again. Spying Sebastian Scott leaning against the wall, Kenneth would have said hello but he simply didn't and gave a simple wave to the other boy. The vibes off him were enough to keep Kenneth away for now and he continued his search onward, looking at the individual outfits that were at the Dance. Then something caught his eyes literally with a glowing dress that was, in fact, something pretty neat, taking a chance to see who it was. The person wearing it was not so surprising, as Tavia always seemed to have a handle over fashion, and it showed but nevertheless the dress was unique. Waving to Tavia for a second [color=darkseagreen][i]"Hey Tavia, what a nice dress you have."[/i][/color] He complimented before delivering a dramatic pose as if contemplating the dress, rubbing his chin for added effect. Twirling his finger after some examination as if an order to spin for him but with a twirl from his heel, he spun up from his crouching position to leaning forward towards her and playfully asked with his glowing eyes filled with intent. [color=darkseagreen][i]"Anyone else you've seen that may be competition? I know a few of our classmates aren't as motivated as either you or me-"[/i][/color] Giving a quick glance to Sebastian in particular as he leaned against the wall [color=darkseagreen][i]"But Winter and a few others in our class seem to be competing but I can't find her... Hmmm..."[/i][/color] He said before making a futile attempt again to find her (or her nemesis Trinity and in general other people who were at Tavia's level which so far took the competition he saw so far). [color=darkseagreen][i]"Anyway on the side note, this dance seems way too sleepy... Hopefully, someone will shake it up a bit."[/i][/color] He said wistfully as he barely saw anyone on the dance floor save for a few brave individuals.[/color]
