Fortuna came back into the dance with a content smile on her face, hugging herself close to Marlon on his arm as they waded through the throngs of other party goers, her rather imposing escort cutting a pretty easy path through them as she led them to where she had seen her teammates, joining them next to the hors d'oeuvres, Fortuna sighing slightly as she remembered the wasted cake she had left with that awful Ember girl, before turning back to Mauve with a bright smile on her face, "Nice to see you made it to the event Mauve, you look simply ravishing in your dress tonight," she said pausing as she gave Nathan a sly smile from a side glance, " and I am glad to see it seems to have had the desired effect, though I fear we shall hardly be able to keep the pair of you apart now, especially with the close quarters we keep," she said, a hint of laughter in her voice as she motioned to her escort.

"As I am sure you have no doubt noticed, I myself have found a dashing escort for the night," she said, giving Marlon's arm a squeeze, "and we shall see, but he might have the luck to join me on more such events, but I digress," she giggled before returning to a more formal air, after all introductions must be done properly, "Mauve, Nathan, this is Marlon Murk, and Marlon, these are my esteemed team members Mauve Roux, Nathan Eau, and..." she paused now, looking at the girl Mauve had been conversing with, a look of confusion on her face, "My apologies, I do not believe we have met miss, I am Fortuna Altin, of the South Vale Altins,  and you are..." she trailed off, waiting for the girls response

Marlon was at a loss for what to do. His mind was still a little cloudy from what Miss Altin had just done outside, and oh thank the merciful heavens that the music was back to somethin' sensible...He knew a lot of people, Cheri included, liked that scratchy techno garbage, but he hated the lot of it. Give him his fiddle any day...But there she was, Miss Altin, not mad the least bit and hangin' on his arm without a care in the world. Had he really managed to turn his mess around? Naw, it was all her doin', it had to be. That was a fine woman for ya, tender and forgivin' beyond belief. He'd have to thank her someways, he just hadn't a durned idea how. How do ya repay someone for chasin' the dark out of your heart, anyways?

He came dangerously close to not noticing that she was reintroducing him to Miss Roux and Mr. Eau. Haw, wasn't that the most proper thin'? Sure, they all knew each other on sight, they had classes together, but there she went, bein' a lady of breedin' and distinction. He smiled to himself, and it got a little wider once he was aware enough to notice how Miss Roux and Mr. Eau were standin' close like to one another. He was about to punctuate Miss Altin's congratulations with a friendly punch to Mr. Eau's shoulder before he remembered that nobody really took kindly to that here. And also Miss Altin had just blown his mind. Again.

Dashin' escort? Him? More such events? What? How? All he could do was grin sheepishly and clear his throat. It was enough to make him plain forget about how odd it'd be to share a dorm room with your sweetheart, and that was something amazing in its own right.

"Miss Marianne Murk, younger sister to the gentleman you are currently on the arm of." Marianne replied, setting her muffin down as she curtsied. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Altin." She'd been watching them as they approached, of course. Animated, pretty, and hanging off of her brother's arm. She did have excellent fashion sense, if the dress was any indication. She also talked quite a bit, but was a little more frivolous in tone than Miss Roux. Almost more...airy, or possibly high-strung? Certainly less reserved. She knew the remark about Marlon's luck in escorting her was light-hearted, but it still rankled. If only you knew the sort of man my brother is, you'd not be so free with your words...

Well, judging by Marlon's reaction, and the fact that he'd barely mentioned this girl except in passing, this was a brand new development. Miss Fortuna Altin of the South Vale Altins...the name was by no means familiar, and thanks to her current home she was passably versed in the local High Society roster...perhaps Uncle Siegfried knew of them. Either way, given how at ease her brother seemed with this girl, so soon, she would make sure to check with dear old Uncle about just who the Altins were and what they did...

And naturally, she kept all this close to her heart, outwardly showing only a calm, gentle expression, perfectly at peace with the newfound situation.

Cael smiled into Cheri's hair as they hugged, happy to have done the right thing. Cheri wasn't technically on his team, but she was still a friend who needed his help. Plus a super hot pop idol who he had a crush on, but that could stay undisclosed for now, it would certainly make this moment weird if everyone knew.

Now seemed like the time for him to be prince charming and sweep her off her feet, platonically of course. But  how to do it...If this were a movie or book he would literally pick her up off her feet and carry her away. Actually...if it worked in the movies why not here?

"Hey Cheri, let's get out of here yeah? Come on" He stooped and picked her up one arm on her back one in the crook of her knees. Bridal style. "Your chariot awaits.

God that was a dumb thing to say.
We can't have three different signatures anymore? Fuck the new board that's it I'm out.

Language warning in character and in the background music.


Cheri gratefully took the hankie and smiled at her friend over Cael's shoulder, mouthing "okay" as she stayed in the hug. And then she opened opened her mouth to go 'Wha-?" before bursting into wild laughter as Cael hefted her off of her feet. Stage experience served to let her hold the front of her skirt in place with her free hand, up there you always had to mind your wardrobe, but she knew that anyone who cared to look would probably get a full view of her rear even with her tail trying to hold the back half of her skirt up. Honestly she didn't care, no one was in that direction anyway. "Cael, what are you doing!?" she cried, her smile bright and infectious as she let her other arm hook around his shoulders. "You don't even have a car, what chariot?" She could barely talk for laughing so much. This was exactly what she had been hoping for. Pure, unbridled mirth!

Red stopped talking to Prim and just stared, open-mouthed. Chariot? Seriously? "You complete fucktard...just...I...what?" DeWitt, I don't know how many you fucking had before you got here, but tell me where the hell you bought it next time. Geez, the last time he'd done something that damn corny was when he was, what, eleven and his voice was cracking? And even then he'd at least had a bike right there...sure she'd been 16 and he'd gotten shot down, but still...He was about to turn back to Prim and offer some commentary when his phone rang out of nowhere.

"Shit, hold on, gotta take this!"

He stepped away over by the trees, and spoke under his breath. "What's up, you guys need backup?"

"Dude are you gonna smash tonight?"

"What?"

"Are. You. Gonna. Smash. Tonight?"

"Johnny Boy, I don't know what the shit you mean. Do you need backup?"

"Nah bro it's cool, I'm just checking in to see if you're getting some of that sweet, sweet..."

"If you say what I think you're gonna say I swear I will stab your fucking eyes the next time I see you."

"Chill dude, chill. I just want you to get laid and be happy."

"And I want you to not fucking call me unless you need me to come help you whip ass, and to not talk about girls like that, you dickhead. Bye, bitch!"

After hanging up, Red walked back over to Prim. "Sorry about that, you're not the only one with dumbass teammates."

Somewhere in the rough part of Vale, Johnny Boy laughed to himself, put away his scroll, and walked back up to Dutch's side. Both of them were decked out in gold chains, wife beaters, and do-rags. Their baggy jeans dragged the floor over their overly large sneakers, and they stood with their arms crossed, waiting for an answer from the man in front of them.

"Imma axe you one more time, foo. Big Lien don't like bein' kept waitin', yo." Dutch said, his accent honed by years of practice. He swung his hands as he talked, waving them aggressively in the taller man's face. "I want those motha fuckas who slayed that Roux fucka an' his lil' bitch boy. I got some heads I want knocked off an' I know good work when I sees it, you know what I sayin'? Where da fuck Bagman at? Big Lien is axein' you right now!" he shouted, his temporary grill flashing in the low, gritty light.

The man in front of them, wearing the standard White Fang "uniform", said nothing, and the two-dozen men standing around the abandoned garage gave no indication that they were watching the proceedings.

"Aight, if you don't start tellin' me shit or givin' me a numba I can call or somethin', Imma have mah boy heah tear yo head clean off."

"Yeah, bitch, yo bones gonna make bee-yoot-iful music when I break 'em." Johnny Boy added, flexing. The man drew on them then, and the gloves were off. Before he could bring the pistol to bear, Dutch had clocked him hard with a right, knocking his mask loose and obscuring his vision. Everyone rushed them, and Johnny Boy caught the first one so hard he went flying back through two more. Dutch twisted his opponent's arm behind his back, forcing him to drop the gun with an audible crack. He used the man as a shield against the first katana thrust and then knocked him out from behind before tripping his attacker and using his stun baton to crack him on the back of his skull.

Every fist from Johnny Boy dropped another one as he moved in a jerky circle around his smaller friend, either completely slipping through their guard or crashing home as if it weren't there. Those that dodged him were met with sweeping, almost rapier-style slashes from Dutch's stun baton, first halting their movement and then dispatching them in the next strike. In a few short moments it was over, and all their opponents lay around them unconscious and in many cases in need of medical attention.

Dutch brushed an unfamiliar tooth off of his shirt-front. "How positively wretched. Well, nothing for it, then. They either did not know or were unwilling to comply. I shall contact the authorities and arrange for a pickup, and perhaps this evening will not be a total loss. How unfortunate that Mr. Heron won our little game of chess and was allowed to sit this one out. He must be enjoying himself right now."

Johnny Boy laughed and kicked somebody who was starting to stir. "Don't tell me that wasn't fun, dude."

"Fun? Barbarism is never "fun", Mr. Encore. We did not obtain what we needed, this fight was a waste of our time." Dutch lectured, putting his scroll to his ear.

Cael hupped Cheri away from the Formal, back in the direction he'd left Marianne. Shit he'd just left her hadn't he? Didn't even say goodbye. He'd been understandably preoccupied but still...what an ass. Oh well, nothing to do about it now, besides silently obsess over it for the next few hours. Shaking off the thoughts for now, he looked down to Cheri. "So...sup?"

Prim listened contentedly to Red as he spoke, finishing off the last bits of her cookie in the meanwhile. "She says that I'm a sweetheart? Really? Aww, she's the nicest, I swear! Really, she's the sweetheart, she is... Oh! She has to visit, she really does!" Blinking rapidly at the crumbs and then cringing slightly at the opinion she'd unwittingly given to him, as he'd apparently not known about Stella and Rima beforehand, Prim rushed to explain and take back and trip over her own words. Like usual. "Oh! Oh, I didn't mean to-they're not so-I mean you can't expect everyone to be nice at first! I bet you've known someone who wasn't as nice at first, they're not really that bad..." A sigh. "I'm like a newborn baby when it comes to words and-"


Oh, look, a kindred spirit. Even Primrose had to take a few seconds to process the sentence that was spoken by... that guy. Yes, That Guy would have to do for now. It was just so incredibly... dorky. Apparently Cheri found it endearing though, so it worked. Really though, it was a wonder that it did. She couldn't remember the last time some guy said anything that bold, yet corny to her. Fifth grade? Sixth? At least it wasn't a pickup line or anything like that. Though depending on which one, it might've had the same endearing effect.


Out of the corner of her eye, Prim could see that Red was also pretty much astounded by That Guy, seeing him move to turn back before a phone rang, apparently his. She could only hear half of the conversation, Red's half, but it didn't seem all that nice a conversation. His following sentence confirmed this. "Oh, well, I suppose you have to learn to get along with anyone and everyone to achieve a common goal! I hope he isn’t that bad though! There are times when it can get in the way of said common goal, though you’ve probably gotten past that, right? Right!”





Mauve smiled as Fortuna reintroduced Marlon to the group. Their pairing up for the evening was certainly unexpected. It had a sort of charm to it though, someone as prim and proper as her lovely teammate with a humble country boy like Marlon. Then again, he wasn’t exactly the most rustic, mannerless person out there. Not to mention that they looked cute together, there was that too. “Oh Fortuna, if I’m ravishing then you’re absolutely breathtaking. Your dress complements you wonderfully. And Mr. Murk, you too look nice and spiffed up, if I may reiterate my previously made point. How has your evening been so far? I must assume that it hasn’t been all bad, from the look of things. Based on appearances alone, you two make a quite the charming pair. Nathan and I have personally had a very nice time this fine evening.” Mauve smiled complacently at the others as she waited for them to answer. She’d purposely left out Marianne’s apparently terrible time. It would be a little weird to mention it, not to mention that she couldn’t imagine Marlon’s reaction to be the best, being her older brother and everything. If she wanted Marlon to know, then she would mention it herself.

Nathan waved to Marlon and Fortuna with his free hand - that is, the hand that had about a third of the muffin left in it. He didn't speak because he was busy chewing and, if nothing else, his mom had successfully taught him that speaking while eating is bad. The fact that his mouth was so full that he could barely chew might've also had something to do with it. Swallowing, he bit another massive chunk off the chocolate-heavy, uuh, snack before nodding in agreement with Mauve's last statement, a small smile miraculously devoid of any crumbs gracing his face.

Red listened to Prim talk as he watched DeWitt walk off as if no one was watching, still carrying a laughing Cheri the whole time. Somebody should talk to that guy. Teach him how to have better social skills than a neutered hamster. Oh well, he wasn't terrible in a fight, there was no need to go after him. He'd be close enough to call if there was trouble. He looked back to Prim out of the corner of his eye and gave her a lopsided grin.

"Don't knock yourself too much. You might ramble more than a homeless druggie when you talk, kid, but you're trying to mean something when you open that little dolly mouth of yours, and that's a lot more than most can say. " He laughed a little at her talk of goals and getting over differences. "Nah, Johnny Boy ain't that bad. He's dumb as a brick and twice as ugly, but he means well even when he's shoving his big stupid face into everything." Red paused. "He's an acquired taste, I guess. You want to head back inside? I think DeWitt there wanted to talk to Cheri alone and confess some hormonally charged words or something."

Cheri kept right on laughing as Cael carried her off to gods know where, and just sort of held on and hoped no one saw under her skirt as they went. Things were quiet out here so she was probably safe. Probably. He looked down at her, his face betraying that something was on his mind, and she hopped out of his arms while keeping hers loosely on his shoulders. "Sup? So, Cael, why'd you bring me back out here? The dance is that way!" she laughed, her amber eyes almost glowing in the low light as her ears flattened against her head coyly.

Orabel smiles as she sees his eyes affixed to her semblance . Oh, how she loved to watch people fawn over her , to realize how superior she was to them and how lucky they were to accept her attention. As he reached for her hand flirtatiously Orabel was practically giddy with joy. But the more he complimented her over her , the more she felt like something was .. off It was a small whisper at the back of her neck  but she found it hard to ignore, after all, her intuition was what got her so far.


As he coerced her and stroked her confidence  Orabel couldn't help but find him intriguing. ‘This Jack is definitely a conundrum ,’ She thought, his words constantly slipped from submission and sycophantic to Endearing and confident at the perfect timings.Every tease was just sweet enough to nudge her along, his demeanor just shy enough to make her feel like she was in control. But it didn't seem to be a complete facade more like a … #d3ae29irection?  Whatever it was it made her more intrigued in peeling away the layers and to find out what type of core laid inside of Jack Pettibone.
“Mr. Pettibone whatever you might have felt before doesn't transfer into the here and now does it.” She states casually brushing off his history. To be honest anti-Faunus remarks didn't strike much of a chord with her as long as it wasn't directed towards her. After all, “I can't exactly be compa#d3ae29 to the average Faunus can I?” She says letting an iota of narcissism leech into her voice. As Jack comments about the conversation on his phone, her eyebrow raises slightly at his shift in expression. ‘Every cue, every beat perfectly on time…’ She thinks ‘So similar and he doesn't even realize it …’


The only reason it was possible to notice the facade was the amount of attention he was pouring into her let her see that parallels in his behavior and hers. ‘As if that matters' , she thought , not only was he impeccable he seemed to have far more layers than she had anticipated , and for Orabel that fact increased her infatuation. “I am far above those who blame their faults on society, if one possesses enough raw skill and determination they should be able to better themselves and others around them, rather than blaming everyone else for their own faults.” Orabel scoffs. As Jack says for them to enjoy themselves , Orabel nods , “Yes indeed, lead the way .”

Oh god she was looking at him coyly.

"I guess you just looked like you needed a rescue? And it wouldn't make sense to take you back to the place I'm rescuing you from." He paused for a moment before suddenly bursting into speech again, "Shit, wait not that I think you need rescuing I mean I know you could probably kick my ass in a fight but then again this wasn't a fight but if social situations were fighting then you'd kick my ass in that fight too. I just was talking to Marlon's little sister and I said that I regretted just leaving you behind to deal with that shitshow and then she pointed out that I could go back and do the right thing for once and I was like wow holy shit that is a really good point I totally can do that and so then I did do that but I guess I got kind of caught up in pretending to be the hero and inadvertently made an ass out of you and me even though I didn't assume anything. Well I guess I assumed that you needed a rescue so in that sense I did assume something but I figured it was the right thing at the time but I just realized that I really need to stop talking so I'm going to just go ahead and do that lemme know if I should leave or something."

Fuck.

Note for anyone who actually reads my character profiles: They're all jokes. Like...seriously. Anything that seems dumb is probably intentional, and even if it isn't I'll say it is to avoid admitting that I'm anything less than perfection.

Re: Beacon's summer formal dance [Closed 12/12]

Cheri let him him ramble with her ears pricked, patiently listening as he talked himself close to breathless, and tried to keep up with his words. Wow, he was past nervous at this point, and somehow that was reassuring. It was good to know someone else was just as confused and uncomfortable with whatever mess they'd just walked out of. And besides, he meant well, and that was the important thing. As the words came out like the aftereffects of a late night run on Taco Steve's, the tiny smile on her lips got ever wider, keeping pace with the growing light in her eyes. When he finished, she put a finger to his lips, whispered "Shhhh", and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"I appreciate the rescue, needed or not. The trouble was pretty much over, but Cael, you're not pretending to be anything. Heroes slip up all the time, and the only people left out here are ones who don't care how dumb we look. I don't care either, it was funny and I needed a laugh. So thank you... Remember, being a hero doesn't mean being perfect at everything. Now come on, you're going to perk up and dance with me!" Cheri took him by the hand then, and started to run back inside, nearly getting a head-on collision with Blanca, who had ever-so-quietly come up to introduce herself to Cael.

The pale girl jumped backward a few steps in an unladylike scramble, reddened, muttered something about interrupting, and turned to run as fast as she could back inside to lose herself in the crowd. Which was when she promptly tripped over her own feet and fell flat on her face before anyone could stop her.

Inside, Jack smiled like a cat at Orabel's words. "Oh, comparing you to the average faunus is beyond a waste of anyone's time. Who puts a five-star restaurant next to a McBranwen's? And it's good to know the past is behind us, then." He laughed a little, pulling her into a dance, his feet working with the same fluid grace and precision he was known for on the battlefield. "Dad always said that people who blamed their failures on everyone else were trash, and I'd like to think he's right. If you can't make your own way, that's your problem. We worked for the position we hold, as humble as it still is, and we're not done climbing higher by a long shot." He went quiet then, letting the music carry them for awhile, and held her close. He only pulled away briefly to whisper something to Carnadine as she waltzed past with another student, and the young model smiled, nodded, and winked at Orabel mischievously as soon as Jack turned his head back to his dance partner.
Seek Justice, Love Mercy, and walk humbly with your God.
