AlexandraCallaway · **10-23-2013, 02:36 PM**

Alexandra had been secretly planning this Masquerade Ball for over three months now. She had booked the Century Ballroom then and since, been waiting to make sure everything had been set up. She smiled brightly entering the grand ballroom and finding everything in order. Cobwebs and spiders adorned the walls, pumpkins, candles, skulls, coffins, the whole of Halloween it's self had turned the Victorian ballroom, into a paradise for those that loved the fall. Orange and black roses, sat on the tables in stylish stone vases. Alexandra stared at it, taking in all the glory. Her long black and crimson red gown hugged her perfect curves. Her bright blue eyes looking out from under a black and red lace mask, with bright red jewels on it. The music began to play and soon her guests would arrive. She headed up to the top of the grand staircase on the far side of the room, and waited at the top.

"This is going to be a wonderful night."

Smoke · **10-23-2013, 03:09 PM**

Woah!

Aside from that, Smoke is - simply put - speechless as he walks through the door. He managed to come wearing a hand-me-down suit and a mask he mustered up with folded paper, orange glitter and glue - with thin strands of red tinsel surrounding the edges of the lower-class masquerade... mask.

He looks up the stairs to see Alexandra dressed 6,000 times better than him, fighting the urge to drop his jaw.

Sorry about the costume. Trying to save on my pennies.

He adds an awkward laugh along that statement.

AlexandraCallaway · **10-23-2013, 03:21 PM**

Alexandra smiles at Smoke man and giggles softly.

"It's perfectly fine."

She reaches to a table and picks up one of the masks, walking over she takes his off, placing a new one on him.

"Here you go. Consider it a gift."

Smoke · **10-23-2013, 03:27 PM**

Smoke smiles, fiddling around with the mask to make it a little more comfortable on the bridge of his nose. When he's done, he looks at her and smiles.

Cheers. I'd probably look a bit rubbish otherwise, haha.

AlexandraCallaway · **10-23-2013, 03:29 PM**

"No, it was great. I just wanted you to feel like the rest of us. Like you deserve to be here. I just wanted everyone to have a wonderful time."

She smiled softly.

"But you are not rubbish. Now Peter Gilmour.. that's rubbish. Tonight.. remember you can be anyone. That's the mystery behind the mask. No one will know who is who."

Smoke · **10-23-2013, 03:35 PM**

Smoke laughs a little.

Then how did you know it was me?

He pretends to try and look around Alexandra's mask.

And on that subject, who the hell are you?

He laughs at his poor attempt at humour.

Nah, but seriously, thanks for the mask. I was kind of worried about my appearance before coming out - afraid I'd look stupid if you'd believe that - so having this is a relief.

He points at Alexandra, in a jokingly 'threatening' manner, despite still smiling.

Just don't tell anyone it's me, alright?

Mr. Radio · **10-23-2013, 03:38 PM**

Radio walks in and sees all of the décor. His eyebrows raise and he nods his head in impressment.

Not too shabby, Ally. I might just head over to the bar however and spend most of my night there.

AlexandraCallaway · **10-23-2013, 03:53 PM**

Alexandra laughs at Smokey. She licked her lips and spoke.

"How can you be sure I'm Alexandra?"

She laughed harder as she watched Radio walk by.

"I promise Smoke.. no one will know. Not until you tell them."

She winked.

~~Peter Fn Gilmour~~ · **10-23-2013, 07:17 PM**

Peter comes into the ball wearing a dark cloak and being inconspicuous. He looks around and smiles wickedly.

"This should be a fun night."

ZakMisery · **10-23-2013, 07:29 PM**

"It's hard for a man to be inconspicuous when he can be smelled from across the room. Also add in being as large as you are...makes it hard to vanish."

I walk in behind Peter, looking utterly disgusted behind my black mask. The area around my eyes and my eyes were as black as the mask and my fangs were extended. I smirked and vanished just as Peter turned. Stupid human...

I reappeared behind Alexandra, my lips close to her ear.

"Why did you have to invite that parasitic rat?"

~~Peter Fn Gilmour~~ · **10-23-2013, 07:34 PM**

Peter sees Zakk enter and rolls his eyes. He then thinks to himself and licks his lips as a trickle of blood comes from it.

"Such a pitiful excuse for a man you are Zakk."

Peter goes to another part of the room

AlexandraCallaway · **10-23-2013, 07:36 PM**

Alexandra whispered to Zak, having watched Peter walk to another part of the massive ballroom.

"Think about it Zak, then entire company will be here. Well, those that can make it anyways. There's bound to be something amazing happening to him. Did you not expect me to make a spectacle of it? You know what I am like."

Alexandra smirks knowing Zak was annoyed with him.

"Besides, it's only entertaining if I can humiliate him in front of everyone."

~~Peter Fn Gilmour~~ · **10-23-2013, 07:38 PM**

humiliating me? HA! we'll see who has the last laugh ms callaway

ZakMisery · **10-23-2013, 07:43 PM**

A deep, low rumbling growl oozed from my throat, forcing Alexandra to grab the collar of my shirt.

"Calm yourself."

"They know I will pay for damage..."

Peter had called me a pitiful excuse? Ha! At lease I was true and comfortable in my sexuality to say I was gay. My eyes scanned the room and it was then that I noticed Radio, sitting at the bar.

"Has he been there all night?"

"So far...yes."

That worried me...what happened after Alexandra and I left the 'happy' couple?

AlexandraCallaway · **10-23-2013, 07:47 PM**

Alexandra still stood at the top of the staircase.

"How did you know it was me standing here Zak?"

She was trying to distract him.

"Yes. It does make you wonder what's wrong, doesn't it?"

She shook her head.

"To be honest, it's none of my business."

ZakMisery · **10-23-2013, 07:51 PM**

"I'm a vampire...No mask can cover a scent. You may not care but Micah is still family..."

To be honest, I didn't really care either but those twins needed a father and I'll be damned if they grow up like myself and my sister.

AlexandraCallaway · **10-23-2013, 07:58 PM**

"True. I also know to stay out until she asks me to be involved."

She looked around, watching as people arrived. She still didn't see anyone who she normally hung out with.

"He's not here Alexandra."

"Doesn't even matter."

Alexandra tosses the petals of the rose she had been plucking on the table.

Mr. Radio · **10-23-2013, 08:05 PM**

Fuck my immune system! I can get high as the moon but I can't get bloody drunk! I'm going to laugh at people.

Radio gets up and walks over to a dining table and takes a seat. He leans back a bit and sees Zak and Alexandra chatting it up and rolls his eyes.

Damn...I need a smoke.

Radio gets up and walks outside to go "greet" guests.

ZakMisery · **10-23-2013, 08:11 PM**

"She will....excuse me."

I followed Michael outside, standing far enough away that it would give me time to react.

"What happened, Michael?"

Mr. Radio · **10-23-2013, 08:24 PM**

Absolutely nothing...

Radio sighs and throws his cigarette on the ground and steps on it.

The kids are making things a lot more difficult. I seem to not be able to go anywhere with out worrying...about Micah, the kids, and my well being. I just want to relax tonight.

ZakMisery · **10-23-2013, 08:31 PM**

"If I knew what that was like then I would help. You have 18 years of worry, anger, fear and rage. That's what being a dad means...it's in the fine print of the job application that we never read."

"Like those Terms and Conditions for shit?"

"I guess. There's no manual to being a dad, a husband and a friend. She worries every time you go out...or don't get any sleep."

I walk closer and placed a hand on his shoulder, "Nothing wrong with a night out. You just did it for the wrong reason. Don't forget...just accept and that will help you relax."

AlexandraCallaway · **10-23-2013, 09:01 PM**

Alexandra made her way over to a seat by the railing, looking down she watched as everyone else began to mingle in the crowd, talking to each other. She kept silent watching the actions of her co-workers, studying them. A waiter walked by offering her a glass of champagne, which she took with a nod and he walked off.

~~Peter Fn Gilmour~~ · **10-23-2013, 09:43 PM**

Peter grabs a jack and coke and gulps it down with ease.. He walks around a bit and tries to mingle with people but they could care less about him being there..

"This party blows donkey cock!"

AlexandraCallaway · **10-23-2013, 11:40 PM**

She nodded to the gentleman.

"Are you positive that I am Miss Callaway?"

She kept the smile inside. She was shocked that someone would notice her.

"Welcome to the Ball monsieur. I do hope that you will have a wonderful time."

She looked at him, trying to figure him out.

Mr. Radio · **10-24-2013, 09:20 AM**

Thanks, Zak...never thought I would say that but ypu can be a pretty decent guy when you want to. I'm just gonna go hang put with Alexandra and just relax.

Radio begins to walk back into the building before he turned his head slightly back at Zak..

Thanks again for helping me think straight tonight.

Smoke · (10-24-2013)

While everyone is talking to one another, trying to figure who from whom, Smoke is pandering around the bar, trying to look for any signs of a non-alcoholic beverage he can drink, while the bartenders assist Peter Gilmour, who is struggling not to fall over the bar, despite only drinking a single glass of whatever he was having.

After deciding he wasn't going to find anything, he walks back to an empty table and flumps back into a seat, flipping out his phone and pretending to look interested as he explores its settings.

Jessie-ica Diaz · **10-24-2013, 03:25 PM**

Finding an opportunity when Alexandra was busy with the other guests, Jessie sneaks in to the gathering, dressed modestly, in a black dress that went down to her calves. Her mask however, was a different story. It was split into four sections, each one designed drastically different from the last in the most apparent hint of symbolism ever. Quietly, she sneaked her way into the the middle of the ongoing situations, hiding in plain sight like a ghost. She hated parties, but with so many people in one place, it was such an easy dispensery of information. Although the sneaking was largely a success, she couldn't help but feel as if someone had seen her come in...

Mr. Radio · **10-24-2013, 03:38 PM**

Ha ha, I totally just saw Jessie.

Radio Takes a small sip from his alcoholic beverage.

AlexandraCallaway · **10-24-2013, 04:08 PM**

Alexandra smiled at Olive, politely.

"Thank you for coming. I know not a lot of the people here are very social. So I figured give the party thing one last try."

~~Peter Fn Gilmour~~ · (10-24-2013)

Peter continues to stumble even though he onlhy had one Jack and Coke. People look at him and laugh but he could care less. He then falls down a set of stairs and lands on his shoulder. OUCH! People look at Peter on his back looking like a drunken mess. Peter looks at the people laughing and laughs himself! WTF?

"Laugh now you pricks..This party's just starting"

**"Loverboy" Vinnie Lane** · **10-24-2013, 07:05 PM**

Shane walks in dressed as a giant egg. He hands Peter Gilmour a potato.

: Hello everyone! How are we all on this fine evening?

LJ Havok · **10-24-2013, 07:07 PM**

They are fighting, dancing, puking, and giving each other sexual favors for money....so ya know just like any other day...It doesn't even have to be Halloween..

and...uh fuck potatos....please don't fire me.

AlexandraCallaway · **10-24-2013, 07:08 PM**

"Welcome Egg. Have a drink!"

She holds one up for him.

**"Loverboy" Vinnie Lane** · **10-24-2013, 07:12 PM**

: Got any potato nog?

Shane trips over a wild wolf and a lit blunt falls from his hand. Nobody noticed him holding it all this time!

: Oh shit! My crack rock!

Shane grabs the blunt and starts to hit it like there's no tomorrow.

: Anyone else want some? My dealer tells me it's called "Potato Haze" and it's some of the best shit I ever smoked.

~~Peter Fn Gilmour~~ · **10-24-2013, 09:39 PM**

Peter looks at the potato Shane gave him and gets real mad. Peter then throws it as hard as he could at Shane but his aim is worse then the St. Louis Cardinals pitching staff and he misses by a mile and hits some poor catering guy right in the face knocking him da fuck out. Peter's eyes grow larger as he sees what he has done. but then he laughs wickedly.

"I hope the Mets front office saw that. FUCK POTATOES!" (dont fire me shane)

Peter laughs again as he slowly walks away

AlexandraCallaway · **10-24-2013, 10:28 PM**

"Hello Griffin. I'm glad to see that you made it. Looking stylish as ever."

She smiled softly at him, glad to see that he was safe. Alexandra wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him.

"I'm glad to see that you are safe, sound, and back."

Her blue eyes looked into his.

AlexandraCallaway · **10-24-2013, 11:40 PM**

Alexandra smiled looking at him, watching him as he scanned the party.

"It's not to bad to be honest with you. I guess I did alright with this one. Even though Gilmour is eating out of a trough."

Alexandra shuddered thinking about it. She chuckled for a few moments and shook her head.

"I am so happy that you are back. I've been worried about you."

Alexandra looked at him, but still he looked out at the party.

AlexandraCallaway · **10-25-2013, 10:41 PM**

Alexandra smiled softly for a few moments just looking at him.

"I'm glad you came too. It's good to have you around. And we should hang out. We so rarely do it."

She took a sip of her drink, looking over the drink at him.

Liz Hathaway · **10-27-2013, 11:29 AM**

Liz walks into this rather large festivity. She looks around at her fellow XWF Stars, people she haven't seen since she was arrested. She notices Alexandra Callaway talking to Griffin McCalister. She walks into the conversation.

So..... what's up?

AlexandraCallaway · **10-27-2013, 11:42 AM**

Alexandra turned around to see a woman speaking to them.

"Hello. Welcome, Please make yourself at home."

Something about the girl seemed familiar.. but she couldn't have known her.
