It’s not her preferred type of thing. Most knew her to be the definition of a ‘ social butterfly, ’ and though she often times did lean towards this definition, the fact of the matter was that blown out parties, like the one she currently found herself locked in, weren’t exactly exciting to her tastes. Finger foods, obnoxious attire, and honestly boring conversations revolving around who’s succeeding where and idle gossip, just hadn’t ever appealed. Maybe it was her ‘ small town ’ side, maybe Iwatobi had forever spoiled her in actually fun festivals and get-togethers, with actually real friends, and then real conversations that always dissolved in healing laughter, all those years back...
She’s quick to bat the thought away. The truth was, no matter what it was that had made for this distaste with Tokyo’s glamorized script, she was found in it. And being found in it meant playing her roles obediently, as was her track record. Especially when she’d inflicted this present on herself, when she’d traded the comforts of a warm seaside town for this charmed city life--! Her nose wrinkles slightly at the melodrama of her own thoughts. Honestly, you have it so good, she’s quick to think; a growing journalist for one of the most respected magazines in the city. Sure the job could get demanding ( especially where PR and its parties were concerned ) but at the end of the day it provided damn well. Surely she’d grow out of her nostalgia soon enough.
Shaking her head as if to mentally reset herself, she heads out over towards the refreshment table to grab a drink. Seeming almost natural to her nature, being so lost in her own train of thought, she doesn’t notice the figure she’s walking into till it’s a tad to late--
❝Ah,❞ she starts, pulling back immediately with a faint blush partially hidden behind a black lace mask--yeah, PR also liked going all out with their party themes too, tonight’s being ‘ masquerade. ’
❝I’m so sorry,❞ she adds once looking up;
❝I wasn’t paying attention--❞ Her words stop suddenly, and she’s not sure why but that previous nostalgia rushes back with a nearly dizzying force.
