@dicedumpling liked for a masquerade starter!
The crowd surged as the party finally began in earnest, and Ryou found himself nearly lost in the sea of costumed carousers. Admittedly, it probably didn't help that he'd long since helped himself to the punch, so the world around him was a bit more out of focus than usual. What was in focus, however, was a tall, slender gentleman in vampire garb, long black hair flowing behind him as he moved. His face was, naturally, hidden behind a pair of glittery bat wings, and there was just something about the mischievous emeralds gleaming behind them that drew Ryou in.
No harm in asking, right?
He sidled up to his target, then all at once drew in front of him, hand extended in invitation.
“Why hello there,” he purred, lips pulled into enough of a smile to show off his neat little fangs. “Shall we dance?”
