[color=Crimson][h1][center]Argus Leandros[/center][/h1][/color] [color=Crimson]"Huh?"[/color] Argus looked up from the spot on the floor he'd been staring at for awhile. [color=Crimson]"Oh, uh. . . Nah, I'm fine. Just trying to figure out where to mingle. Like, I've got a long time to talk with Frenzy Plant peeps, but not so many chances with the other guilds, I would think."[/color] Argus chuckled slightly while taking a small step away from Joakim, fidgeting with a few stray strands of hair. Looking around the room, he couldn't help but feel mischievous thoughts enter his head. [color=Crimson][i]One or two odor-producing Lacrima, a little magical energy applied to the ceiling. . . gah, this is killing me. But I gotta keep calm and resist the urge to prank anyone here. . . well, maybe Gabriel and that other guy with the bad attitude, they kinda deserve it a little, right?[/i][/color] Arus chuckled slightly at the thought, but let it go with a sigh, knowing that he was already on thin ice with the guild as it was. Something that Joakim's presence made him feel keenly aware of. Argus' hand went from his hair to his neck, the pressure from the seal seeming to tighten the more he thought about the damn thing. [color=Crimson][i]No, now's not the time for pranks, no matter how deserved they may or may not be. I just have to relax and talk to somebody. Anybody.[/i][/color] With that settled in his mind, Argus took a moment to stretch a little before making his way about the ballroom, offering Joakim and Flint a brisk wave. [color=Crimson]"Well, I'm going to see if I can't make a few friends tonight. See ya both later."[/color] From there, Argus made his way through other Frenzy Plant members, making a plan of social attack. First, he'd find some Frenzy Plant member, chat it up with them, then move on to somewhere else to mingle. He'd keep moving on from chat to chat until he either found someone he thought was cool to talk to or got hungry and decided to start raiding the buffet table. So thought up was Argus in his planning that he didn't watch exactly where he was going and bumped into some red head's plate of food with his arm. While he managed to grab the plate before it toppled to the ground, the same could not be said for about half of the food on the plate, which was now decorating the floor. [color=Crimson]"Oh shit, I'm so, so sorry about that. I should've been paying more attention. Er, what did I mess up, cause I could go and get some more for you to make up for, yeah?"[/color] Turning quickly to address the stranger, Argus recognized that they were wearing the same outfit as he was. [color=Crimson][i]You know, I'm not making many friends in my guild, am I? Ugh, I should've just hung back with Flint. . . bu then I probably would've done something to piss him off. Guilds are hard, man.[/i][/color] [@Lugubrious] [@The Wild West] [@Lunarlors34] [h1][center][b]Ezekiel[/b][/center][/h1] [b]"Uh. . . I don't I'm ready for that, Mr.Buchanan,"[/b] Ezekiel looked down with a slight blush at the man's suggestion. [b]"Besides, I'm not quite sure where to even begin or who to talk too. Everyone already seems to be talking to each other, and I'd hate to be rude and interrupt."[/b] Biting his lip slightly, he didn't really notice the fact that his anxiety had brought in the attention of a few wandering felines, several of which had jumped on top of the buffet table and were helping themselves. [b]"Mr. Buchanan, are you sure it's okay for me to be here? What if the queen or king comes in and I end up saying the wrong thing or using the fork or something? Not even mentioning what's likely to happen once people start dancing. . . ugh, now I feel a bit queasy."[/b] Ezekiel sank down to the floor, face turning a sickly shade of green, though it died down a bit as several felines came to rub themselves against his legs. He was going to pick one of them up and pet them, but then remembered the clothes he was wearing and where he is, so he quickly(though gently) started shooing them away lest they get his nice clothes covered in cat hair.
