Veronica was beginning to think she was getting old because mindless chatter and fun on the dance floor currently happening before her eyes didn’t seem as appealing anymore. Or perhaps the brunette was so deeply affected by the events of the last party she’d attended that she couldn’t bring herself to join in on the fun and relax fully. The sense of responsibility pressing on her chest didn’t allow her to. While Veronica was delighted the majority of people she cared about was able to enjoy themselves (and their echoing laughter proved so), she felt she had to be on alert. None of it showed on the outside, however– the woman had one of her signature smiles plastered across her lips and a flute of bubbly dangling from her fingers. However, the thrill-seeker within didn’t let her sit still so the woman took a deep breath—as deep as the corset clinging onto her figure for dear life allowed and took a look around. V found she was standing beside two entrances; one to the Haunted House and the other to the Fortune Teller’s impromptu tent. Counting on her charming smile to lure the person in, she called out, letting them decide where to. “Shall we try our luck?“
Tony knew that he’d need at least a few more drinks in him before the thought of getting on the dance floor. Halloween had always been one of his favorite holidays, but that had to do more so with the horror aspects of it. Though, that hadn’t stopped him from getting a drink, whiskey neat, of course. Tony had always been an alert person, somehow able to keep his eyes in two places at once. It worked to his advantage often. Though anyone with a fair of clear eyes would’ve seen Veronica off to the side, causing Tony to make his way towards her. “We should go to the fortune teller, hear about how we’re both going to die young,” he joked, mirroring Veronica’s charming look with one of his one.
“Okay, no one panic!” No one’s panicking Aly, only you. Alyssa held out her arms as she moved around, her gaze scouring the floor and environs for her headpiece. She really only brought it along to take photos with, and once she had done that, Alyssa rest it down in an area that she thought it would be safe. In hindsight she should not have been lazy, and took the time to carry it back to the vehicle for storage. It certainly wasn’t cheap, her entire costume was a cosplayer’s dream. Even though her sister sponsored the entire thing, Alyssa would feel horrible if she lost it. After-all, the night was only just getting started. Sighing in annoyance she silently berated herself. Why didn’t I listen to the voice of reason? “I can’t find my crown of horns.” The dark-haired villain would tell anyone within earshot. Gnawing anxiously at her bottom lip, she paced, and made a beeline around the area, searching. Where did it go? “It was just here like five minutes ago.” Okay, she was lying, it was more like an hour or so ago. She only just remembered she left it behind to go dance. They were basically antler-esque, who would take them and run-off? Were there desperate cosplayers in attendance? “Has anyone seen it? It’s an eye-mask and cap combined, with a bunch of large antler-like horns coming out of it.” Alyssa explained her lost item in case people didn’t get that she was portraying MCU’s Hela.
“Your crown of horns.” Tony hadn’t gotten a good look at her yet, not quite understanding what exactly she’d meant, until he saw her costume. “Oh, that crown of horns. I’m sure we can find it.” They probably couldn’t. The party had had people coming in and out every 2 minutes, anything left behind was likely to have been gone by now. Though, he wasn’t exactly going to say that outloud, the girl in front of him seemed upset enough. “Maybe someone knocked them over.” He glanced underneath the table, brows raising as he found a piece of what looked like a piece of a broken horn. Picking it up off the ground, he shifted his gaze back to her, “I think... this may belong to you.” Tony sheepishly grinned, his London accent shining through as he spoke again, “Sorry. For what it’s worth though, I think you look lovely without them anyways.”

key points ( tw: child abuse, domestic violence )
was born in london, england to an affluent family, has been close friends with elias since he was a kid
both his mother and him were physically abused when antonio was growing up, but his mother refused to ever leave his father because it would taint their reputation as the ‘perfect family.’
antonio grew angry after hearing this, distancing himself from his family until he decided to move to new york with elias after they turned 18.
started with the berks as a soldier, is a skilled marksman, and eventually became underboss when raphael made elias the boss
he also works as a security guard at lux
when working for the family, he can come off as very reserved and serious, which is a stark contrast from his personality when he’s around regular people
a big flirt, definitely a playboy. has no intention of settling down. very charming, the type to joke around often and not take much seriously that doesn’t involve work ( if you’ve seen graceland, he reminds me of manny’s character, johnny turturo, only a little bit more flirty )
wanted connections
you’ve caught my eye;; so antonio very much isn’t the type for relationships, let alone having a crush on someone. but this particular girl has caught antonio’s eye for a while now, and he’s convinced she’s the most beautiful person to ever grace the earth. whether or not anything has happened between them, antonio doesn’t plan on revealing his true feelings anytime soon.
girl best friend;; while antonio may be elias’s right hand man, as well as his best friend, antonio befriended a girl when was working for the berks. at first, he’d flirt with her shamelessly and crack jokes, but eventually, the two became close friends, and antonio is very protective of her, often treating her like a little sister, despite how strong she may or may not be.
exes/past flings;; it’s no secret that tony is a bit of a *cough* fuckboy *cough.* he’s very charming and flirts too much for his own good, so i’d imagine he’d have plenty of flings, and maybe even a few ex-girlfriends, though their relationship probably wouldn’t have lasted too long.
one night, too many drinks;; so this connection is kind of funny, but basically antonio and a girl got super drunk one night and ended up in queens, at a 24-hour chapel with cheap rings on their fingers. it was obviously a major mistake, and the two got it annulled the next morning. but tony still jokes about it at times, calling her the only wife he’d ever have
i’m up for absolutely anything!! friends, people that are suspicious of tony, unlikely friends, frenemies, anything you think could work!
