As Naoko watched the waiters bring over the ice cream, she couldn't help but salivate a little. She straightened her tie and just stared at the ice cream bowl that placed in front of her. It was a great mountain of Neapolitan ice cream, and it even looked like these flavours were imported like French Vanilla or Belgian chocolate. She then mumbled a quick "いただきます !'Itadakimasu!' (Let's eat!)" before going in to eat the ice cream. Though as she ate ice cream, she didn't really like chocolate ice cream, so she avoided that all together, even the parts of the other flavours that were touching it since she was that picky about chocolate ice cream. She then put in another spoonful and felt something hard touch her molars, thinking it was like a nut or something, she bit down and nothing happened but hurt her teeth. She then pulled it out with her index finger and thumb and stared at it trying to figure out what it was. After a few seconds she figured it was a ring but it had this white shiny thing on it with little bits of other colours that made it look absolutely stunning. (It was Opal).

She looked at the ring and cleaned it with a napkin and placed it down by the side of her bowl for awhile. She placed her palm on her cheek since that did hurt her teeth quite a bit. She just looked at the ring and didn't even bother looking around just yet since the pain was a bit more of a big deal than finding the person who matched her ring. Now as she covered her mouth as she ate her last bite, she started to look around this time. She kept glancing back at her own little atone on a ring just to make sure she would get this right. She then slid the ring in her finger and the moment she stretched her hand out to admire the ring, she saw the girl sat there with the same ring on her hand. Barbara Jane Mills. She looks pretty and way out of Naoko’s league, she got real nervous for a second and her leg started to move on its own out of giddyness.

Though Naoko did have some balls that night, she got up, buttoned her jacket, dusted off everything, then walked towards Barbara. She gulped and held out her right hand for her to take, as she kept her hand behind her back for formality. "Excuse me," said Naoko "It would appear that I’m your partner." Naoko smiled and knew that this is the only time she would have Big Dick Energy tonight so she may aswell use as much of it for this moment.

After Seoyeon came back from having that call, she announced it with a quick "Ambulance is on the way, I'd say give it 10 minutes max based on how far the nearest medical centre is." Seoyeon would try her hardest to stay calm, she paced around behind them trying to calm herself down from seeing something as crazy as that. The questions of who and why would cloud her mind over and over again, until minutes later she''d calm herself down and slowly press her back against the wall, leaning against it and keeping her legs straight as she figure what could have possibly happened.

She was slowing her breathing but was taking big breaths to calm herself down, after a few of those she ended up pulling out her phone and started managing her Tiny Tower to get her to not worry so much about the situation. She wanted to talk to the other person that she shared a home country with but now wasn't the time. She would often glance as her thumb scrolled and tapped on little icons in the game. She had no clue what to do next since her major field isn't going to help in any way, unless dancing could rewind time so she could prevent all of this.

"Hey, seriously, what can I do to help?" She asked generally, but soon directed it to the other Korean, "What? You want me to call you oppa or something? 내가 도와 줄게! 'naega dowa julge!' (Let me help you!)" Seoyeon called out, hoping that would get his attention. She crossed one arm as she continued to multitask and manage her game as she waited for a reply.

"Holy. Shit."

Seoyeon ran over to where the sound came from only to be greeted by some girl bleeding from the head, on the ground, possibly dying. "Holy... Shit..." Seoyeon let out. Lilly then rushed to the girl's side and started making sure she was okay, or at least alive enough to tell them what happened. Seoyeon shook her head and was unconsciously tapping her foot on the ground due to the uneasy feeling she had inside her. "I'm calling an ambula-" Seoyeon put her hands in her pocket, her phone wasn't there and she quietly cursed in Korean before taking a few steps back and saying "I left my phone back in my dorm, fuck give me a second, I'll be back I swear." She promised, and she ran downstairs back to her dorm.

As she reached her door, she opened it with quite some force, the door slamming on the wall on the side as she ran to her room. She picked up her phone on the bedside table and started quickly walking back to where that girl was while dialing 911. Before she left her dorm, she grabbed a black marker from her room for her to use. She lodged her phone between her ear and her shoulder and uncapped the marker and started scribbling on her arm. She didn't write much other than 'dead girl? --- Party?' As the reception on the other end of the 911 line spoke Seoyeon told her about the girl that was bleeding on the floor and requested an ambulance to come immediately as she made her way back up to the scene.

When she arrived there, the call was done and she went over to Lilly and asked. "What else can I do?" She didn't want anything else to happen to tonight, she only expected to get drunk of alcohol not a murder mystery.

"A gathering of new people."

Location: Ballroom at The Plaza

Interaction: Gaia Bradley, then everyone else

Naoko nodded at her reply and just smiled back at the girl who spoke to her- Gaia, a name she definitely wouldn't forget anytime soon. She looked over the girl's shoulder having a quick glance at her table just to make sure her jacket was still there. The girl introducing herself to Naoko was all she needed to feel a little more comfortable in an event like this. Naoko watched her place her glass on the bar behind her as she said her goodbyes before walking off, "Yeah, I'll see you..." Naoko nodded once more and placed her own glass on the bar, emptied from the whiskey that was in it before making her way back to her table.

As Naoko walked back to her table, that girl- Gaia was there already, she didn't even realise that Gaia and her were in the same table. She moved to the seat that was across from her, picked up her suit coat and slipped it on before pulling the chair out, sitting down and pushing herself back in. Her eyes met with Gaia and all she did was make a small wave and smile at her. This other girl, Noemi introduced herself and asked everyone to do the same along with their profession. Followed by three other people who included Gaia, now it was Naoko's turn. Naoko with her customs of respect, pushed the chair back with her legs and stood up, performing another bow as she introduced herself. "I-I'm Naoko Miyamoto," Said Naoko as she raised her head up, as she stood there she was formulating her words as she spoke, "-I'm a dancer, choreographer and vice-president of the Neverland Dance Crew, I was also in a Matt Steffanina video, I don't know if that was relevant but I was." She then bowed once more after saying the following line, "It is wonderful to meet all of you, thank you for having me " After that she sat back down and waited for a response to that.

Naoko was just there, leaning on the bar as she watched this famous guy move on to his friend; She's definitely seen him before, she just can't put her finger where. Suddenly she was tapped on the shoulder once more but it wasn't the bartender this time, but instead, it was a girl that was really pretty who was going to converse with her. As she watched her lips move which formed what is predominantly called as small talk, she replied, "Hey, they're not that bad ! I'm usually the one all chatty and crazy at social events, but this fancy stuff is way out of my league." Naoko sipped on her drink after her reply and looked the girl up and down. She was beautiful and she could tell that this girl will be a bit silly at times but she doesn't expect to see that any time soon.

Naoko then bowed, the usual Japanese way of showing respect before speaking. "I'm Miyamoto Nao- uh, I-I mean uh, Naoko Miyamoto, you can just call me Naoko, or whate- or whatever you want I-I don't really mind" She was screaming in her head, she hated herself at that moment for stuttering so much, this girl is too pretty for her sake. She just finished off her drink and orderd another one as she smiled back.

"Uh... Hi?"

Location: Dorm Floor

Interaction: Lou Liu, Lilly Forrester

Seoyeon then did a quick bow for Lou signaling a thanks for the conversation, "Thanks, but I'm gonna go mingle more, hit me up on twitter and I'll be glad to have another conversation that I can actually pay attention to, or if you don't want that my door's always open... But you have to get past my roommates first." She did one more bow and waved her hand as she walked away, sure it wasn't the nicest goodbyes, but Seoyeon doesn't believe in goodbyes, she only believes in 'see you laters.' She walked through the dorm room, not following Lilly but instead went the complete opposite direction. With her drink in hand, she was slowly feeling her tipsiness levels increase.

Seoyeon, after walking a few minutes didn't find much luck mingling with other people other than the occasional 'good job' from her dance earlier. She shrugged and planned to get drunk then call it a night, maybe even have a few wings before doing so. As she was mid chug of her, what appeared to be her 7th cup of beer, she heard a scream causing her to flinch and splash some beer in her face. She then muttered "What the fuck?" before putting her beer down and lifting the bottom bit of her shirt to wipe her face, exposing her midrift for a bit while doing it. She was hunched down as she had to quickly wipe it off her face before it got all sticky and gross.

But that scream was quite something, she wanted to go see what it was, but it could mean her life. Whatever, fuck caution. She already spotted a few people going to investigate the situation and she wanted to join this party, and hey, it looked like Lilly was also going to check it, so that's another bonus for her, seeing someone she now knows go see what it was; well, she is the floor manager so she would obviously be on top of stuff like that. Nonetheless! Seoyeon picked up the pace, and lightly jogged towards Lilly, squeezing pass a few people to get to her. "Hey Lil! You fin- I mean, You going to check that out?" Asked Seoyeon.

"A new beginning or some shit like that."

Location: Dorm Floor

Interaction: Lilly Forrester, Lou Liu

Seoyeon shrugged when Lilly mentioned highschool, Korea wasn't really good at parties like this, it's one of those things that are very much frowned upon back where she came from. "Yeah, if any of us threw a party back in Seoul, we would be punished, expelled, and deserted by our families... Okay, maybe not the family part but you get the idea." Said Seoyeon before finishing off her beer. She looked down in her cup a bit upset that her drink was empty and that she'd have to get a new one, but that can wait. Seoyeon put down her cup on the table beside her, a few inches away from the plate of wings as Lilly introduced herself. "Okay Lilly, nice to meet you and since you're the manager, should I call you with honourifics? You know, the usual Korean 'Unnie' if you've heard it before." Said Seoyeon informing her of Korean tradition of respect, maybe it doesn't apply here in Alaska but who knows, it might.

Seoyeon then reached a little ways down the table and grabbed herself a second cup of alcohol for her to enjoy, which she knows she will and continued on with her little chat with Lilly. Suddenly, a loud 'Hello !' startled Seoyeon for a moment, causing her body to flinch, her eyes to widen, and her hand to jolt a bit to cause a little splash from her new cup of beer. This man then came up to the two of them, he looked nice, and had the nice guy vibe to him that Seoyeon really liked in people, even if the hello scared her a bit.

The man introduced himself as the creator of those delicious wings, and Seoyeon immediately jumped on that fact. She put her beer down and thoroughly shook his hand. "Dude, fuck, those wings were yours?! Holy shit, you have to make me more, it's like the legit the best tasting non-spicy wings I have ever ate, you're fucking amazing dude !" Seoyeon exclaimed, and almost jumped in her excitement to meet the genius behind those wings, she wanted the recipe but asking for it up front probably won't be the best idea, maybe he'll share it with here once they've gotten to know each other a little more; after all it's been like 3 minutes. Lou then said that he added her on Facebook, so she had to explain her situation. "I barely open facebook anymore, just follow me on twitter and you can contact me there, my DMs are open... To anyone who won't send dick picks... Or toe fungus... Or anything gross."

Seoyeon, being the person that she was played along with Lou when he did the half mouth cover thing, she proceeded to do the same for her reply. "Yeah it would, anyway, let me formally introduce myself, I'm renasha blitz and I'm your freestyle dance teacher, kidding, I'm Seoyeon Kang, Dance Major." She said with a quick face scrunch followed by her smile and wink, which both lead to her laughing at it afterwards.

Location: Ballroom at The Plaza, specifically the bar

Interaction: N/A

After seeing a ton of people crowd over someone crowd over that one guy who she has definitely seen before from somewhere though she couldn't exactly, for the life of her tell who he was. Soon, after seeing that the people dispersed almost immediately after he met with someone who Naoko assumed to be his friend or something, she was too enticed in her drink to even notice that the crowd had gone away. Naoko shrugged and continued to sip on her drink every now and then, resting her back and her elbow on the counter as she looked around the ballroom. She was never a fan of these type of settings, generally because she isn't the most feminine compared to mostr girls and she didn't like the fancy schmancy setting.

"Excuse me sir-" someone from behind her spoke, she didn't answer at first, but then the same voice spoke again "Uhm, sir-" followed by a tap on Naoko's shoulder. As she turned around, the man who was apparently one of the bartenders was quite surprised to see that she was a girl, he must have been confused from her outfit or something based on his glances down. "Ah I'm sorry, I thought you were- Urr... Nevermind. I was going to ask if you'd like more, you were the first one to order a 35 year today." Said the man, he had a clean shave look, short hair, a bit buff, the usual. Naoko nodded, she wasn't going to say no to whiskey, "Glad to be that person, good whiskey is hard to come by." Said Naoko as she went back to scanning the room.

Soon the man who was being crowded and the woman he was friends with ended up a few feet away from Naoko at the bar, since she wasn't exactly the most social person she didn't do anything about it except scooch herself a bit further so that she wouldn't pester them or anything. She went to take a sip then proceeded to glance at her seat whenever she could, just incase someone here decided to snatch her jacket away from the seat. Luckily, no one did.

"I get that a lot."

Location: Dorm Floor

Interaction: Lilly Forrester

Seoyeon flinched and raised her brow at what sounded like her name, she was mid chew on a big ol' bite of chicken wing which made her reaction a bit of a laughable moment. "Orhf fruck... (Oh fuck...)" She muttered under her breath as she noticed the girl heading towards her. She licked her fingers clean as fast as she could and took a sip of her beer to wash down the salty goodness of those chicken wings. She wiped her hands on her pants and tried her best to make sure that wasn't noticeable. Though after hearing Lilly's attempt to pronounce her name, she had to correct her, "It's pronounced Seoyeon (Syo-yun) not Soyeon (So-yun) alright? Seo... (Syo...) Yeon... (Yun...) Don't worry about butchering it too much, I get that a lot." Said Seoyeon, she always had to clarify with new people but she was used to it at this point.

She laughed a bit, brushing a bit of her hair to the side before swirling the beer she had in her cup. She patted her stomach and let out a quick burp which was followed by her covering her mouth with her fist, her eyes even squinted a bit as she was trying to pass it off as something nonchalant. "Anyway, yeah, I am thoroughly enjoying the party, because shit like this isn't prominent back home." Said Seoyeon before taking a sip of her beer and setting it down. "I'm not good with names, you're uhh... Millie? No, Ellie?- Wait, uhh... _fuck... Uhh... Kaaatiee? Yeah I don't know." Seoyeon continued, she was most likely wrong, well she did only know like 2-3 people in the whole institute.

This whole interaction isn't Seoyeon's smoothest interaction but it is how she interacts with most people.

Seoyeon could feel the power of dance course through her veinsd, like she was born to do this or something. Being a person who studies dance and have it be a major part of her life meant she was extremely active, which also meant she knew a bunch of dance choreographs for a bunch of different songs. As she jumped around during the average, lyricless party song, it ended and it swapped to one of her all time favourites (The Middle - Zedd, Maren Morris, Grey). She was pretty happy people gave her to room to dance around in. This dance held a special place in her heart because this specific dance was choreographed by her teacher back in South Korea.

After that, she took a quick bow as people cheered but then proceeded to tap on her stomach with her finger as she started breathing heavily from exhaustion and adrenaline. She got hungry and she could smell some wings from a mile away, and boy did they smell good. Seoyeon took her drink back from the person she handed it to earlier and made her way to the wings, nodding, bowing, and thanking everyone who complimented her for her impromptu dance number, sure it may get her known on the floor but she didn't even say her name so they'll have to figure that out, or like 5 minutes of facebook stalking.

As she arrived at platter of wings, she took a sip of her drink and picked one up, the aroma of the wings was enough for her to want it. She took a bite and immediately, her face lit up and she audibly went, "대박 ! (Daebak !) 'Whoa/Awesome/Cool !' Who made this? It's like I'm biting into heaven itself !" Seoyeon exclaimed as she scanned the area to figure out who it was, though because she was fully immersed in the food she couldn't really figure that out. When she finished the one she was eating, she kept going at it, completely stuffing her face with these wings.

I legit do not care if I get fat right now, I'm eating as much of this as I can tonight.
