Humming to herself, Helene was practically dancing around Alyssa's bedroom, securing several golden pins onto Eva's hair. Normally Eva didn't mind being Helene's doll, though as she watched the redhead, she could tell something was wrong. Ever since the beach, she had been acting strange. It was hard to pin down why, as technically, she was still cheery, cheeky, and overall mischievous, but there was just something off. Of course, anytime Eva tried to inquire, Helene managed to turn the conversation around, so she was defeated each time. She should have been glad because it wasn't Alyssa; when the two had seen each other, Helene immediately apologized, and Alyssa accepted. The only hint she had was that it had something to do with Terrance. In public she acted rather cordial with him, but if his name was mentioned when he wasn't around, she just went quiet.

Of course, everyone was more concerned about Eva's own issues, and she had her own hidden feelings. No, that wasn't right. She had gotten numerous phone calls and condolences since her mother died, but she just didn't feel anything. She wasn't sad or upset, she just was. Granted, the amount of paperwork that ensued as well as inheriting most of Evelyn's assets was stressful, but all Eva could think about was Dr. Galen's news and Arthur. Truly, he was a godsend in this time, and she didn't know what she would do without him. Except, anytime they were apart, she found herself getting increasingly nervous. Ironic, considering just the other day she thought she was getting too attached to him. Still, she enjoyed him more than ever, and ever since he found out she was pregnant, there was this subtle change in their relationship. Well, not entirely subtle, that's what babies did, right? For the moment, she was keeping it quiet from Marshall and...everyone, actually. Lord knows that she had enough on her plate, and even though she figured it'd eventually become obvious, for now she could just enjoy it privately with Arthur. There was a little guilt keeping it from her friends, but she knew they wouldn't hold it against her.

Alyssa walked into her room, watching Helene with a frown on her face. "[color=orange]We'd like to go sometime this century, Hel,[/color]" She chided her, completing her own [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c5/16/06/c51606aa8f20fb750185b54fffad7d16.jpg]outfit[/url], and Eva thought the peacock theme fit her well. She was a little surprised to see her with her hair down, though that was mostly because Alyssa nearly always had her hair up. 

Helene rolled her eyes, though she handed Eva her mask. "[color=lightsalmon]Rome wasn't built in a day, you know,[/color]" She huffed as she patted Eva's shoulder, signaling she was done, and she beckoned Gigi to take a seat next. "[color=lightsalmon]Besides, we finally got Gigi to wear a dress, it's a special occasion![/color]"

Gigi raised an eyebrow at her. "[color=orangered]You [i]always[/i] dress me up,[/color]" She pointed out as Helene brushed her hair over her shoulders, pinning some of it over her ear.

"[color=lightsalmon]Oh, sue me, I have fun with it![/color]" Helene giggled, though as she glanced at the time, she realized the girls had a point. "[color=lightsalmon]Well, I'll leave you as is, the fact that you look so cute already will do nicely~[/color]" She said, and she began to strip down.

Shaking her head, Gigi stood up, though not before looking in the mirror. As she put her [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/99/27/b8/9927b87440ed7ea082f2f9d968086860.jpg]mask on[/url], she looked herself up and down. It wasn't much, really, though she did like the idea of wearing a mask. It wasn't really for the mystery, though, she just liked that she got a chance to properly hide from everyone. Then again, considering her black hair and dark eyes, would Alexander recognize her? Ugh, there she goes again, not having been able to get him off her mind since that movie night. It was entirely unnerving and bizarre, though she didn't dare bring it up to anyone. She wondered if she was coming down with something, she hated this weird feeling that she couldn't quite shake. Speaking of weird, however, their entire group had this sort of awkwardness around them that she was picking up. Her eyes landed on [url=https://www.purecostumes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Polyvore-Elsa-Masquerade.jpg]Eva[/url], who was pretty nonchalant considering her mother had just died. Then there was Alyssa, who had dropped her feud with Helene--not resolved, just plain dropped. And finally, there was the Queen of Drama herself, Helene. As she shimmied herself into her [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2a/60/75/2a60751cdbc37a6080747e24e2ef9d12.jpg]dress[/url], Gigi eyed the cut on her neck. Gigi wanted to chalk up her weird behavior to the attack the other day, but there was more to it. What it was, who knew, but everyone was acting off, herself included. There was little time to properly think on it, however, as Alyssa ushered them into her car, and the ride was relatively quiet. Helene kept humming, scooping up her hair into a tight bun at the top of her head, but no one else said anything.

Once they arrived, Eva looked around, surprised that there were so many people there. It was really nice to see people get along, though, so she felt herself getting a little excited. Alyssa leaned in close, motioning towards something. "[color=orange]He made himself so obvious,[/color]" She grinned, and the two spotted Arthur rather easily. "[color=orange]Anyway, I'm going to try to find Jacob, so have fun, okay?[/color]" She said, and before Eva could say anything, Alyssa walked into the crowd. Eva had assumed they were going to stick together, but as she watched Helene give her a wink and also begin to mingle, she figured that thought went out the window. Gigi stayed at her side, though she was looking around, too. "[color=pink]Looking for Alexander?[/color]" She asked her, raising an eyebrow.

"[color=orangered]What makes you ask that?[/color]" Gigi asked, genuinely curious.

"[color=pink]You seem happier lately, I just thought that maybe you two were getting close.[/color]"

Was that it? Gigi was stumped at Eva's answer, though she didn't get a chance to ask her to elaborate as Eva darted off in Arthur's direction. Great. Pushing past people as they got too close, Gigi felt like a lost kid at the mall as she looked around, though as she heard a group of girls laugh, she spotted someone she thought was Alexander with a small group of girls. No, that couldn't be him, he was only interested in her. Except, she was pretty sure it was him. Sort of. Not that she cared, he could do as he pleased. Right? Right. Right...

Helene's eyes scanned the area, though she was a little disappointed by the crowd. Despite the masks, it was easy for her to differentiate the freshboys from the men, and the men were so few and far between. Or rather, the ones she either knew could give her a good time or hadn't explored yet were numbered. For just a moment, she wondered if Terrance was around, though that was a dumb thought. He was probably in the closet with his new hookup already. Clicking her tongue, she decided she needed a drink first, and approached the table. She took a cup from the punch bowl, though as she drank it, she realized that she shouldn't have just ditched her friends. Downing her first cup, she placed it down and looked around again, wondering what to do. Now that she thought about it, she really didn't know what to do with herself. Bringing her cup to her lips, she let out a sigh, though at least she felt a little better now.

Meanwhile Eva approached Arthur, practically beaming as she tapped his shoulder. "[color=pink]Hey there, handsome,[/color]" She greeted him cheerfully, though she peered at his mask. "[color=pink]Interesting choice, though I feel like you're more of a knight than a joker.[/color]"
