In the main courtyard (too lazy to look at actual names) a bunch of lights, a lit up dance floor, and an open bar were set up. Near the dance floor was [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/ab/08/56/ab08569b29cdf2776073ba00410cd628.jpg]Charlie[/url] with a Daft Punk like helmet on as he Dj'd. Of course, he only played the cooliest of music as he head-banged to the beat perfectly.
A fully healed [url=http://pre03.deviantart.net/9aa2/th/pre/i/2015/318/4/b/aeolian_dance_by_wlop-d9gmgvl.jpg]Isorropia[/url] was dancing on the dance floor with [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/aa/82/76/aa8276c51757903b11e8b21e9c8d384f.jpg]Charlotte[/url](Isorropia in the attire in the picture and Charlotte wearing a rather revealing black dress). Both were having an amazing time as they showed that they both had experience dancing in this type of environment. At times Charlotte's dancing did get...questionably overly sexual.
Hanging off to the side was a shy Artemis wearing a beautiful purple dress. She had her hair put up in a pony tail and had some lovely perfume on.
[url=http://pngimg.com/upload/businessman_PNG6580.png]Chuck[/url] was at the open bar on his 50th drink. He was trying to make it seem like he was happy, but it was obvious he was extremely upset.
[spoiler]Open. Speak to whoever. Walk around and speak to everyone, idk.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]Here's some party music if ya need it to set the mood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYIeXe5xQQs[/spoiler]

He laughs once or twice. "Aint that fun?" he asks mostly to himself in a joking manner.
-
[i]Arty awkwardly tries to place her hands on Kari, blushing like crazy.[/i]
-
He giggles. "Like this." He takes her hand and places it on his shoulder as he reaches for her side, above her hip. He then holds her other hand and holds it out in space. "There, now we just sway to the music."
-
[i]Arty's red face can't look at Kari as they dance.[/i] "I-I've never d-danced like this before."
-
He chuckles to himself. "Its not too trendy at the moment, but i think its nice. Slow. Gives people time to actually enjoy dancing without having to worry about if they're doing it right. Just dont step on my feet and you'll do just fine." He smiles warmly.
-
[i]She steps on Kari's foot as he says not to.[/i] "Sorry!"
-
He winces. "Dont worry about it." he says, kind of chuckling at the irony of the moment.
-
[i]Arty chuckles nervously too.[/i] "I've just, never danced before. Sorry, if I'm bringing you down."
-
He smiles reassuringly. "Nah, dont worry about it, i would step on Grandma's feet all the time. But then again that woman's a tank. Im beginning to think she'll outlive me!" he says, chuckling.
-
[i]The slow song is nearing the end and Arty had a visible the whole time.[/i] "I-I guess all good things have to come to an end?"
-
"Well, i could request another slow song, i think? Ever the case i cant, Grandma somehow has managed to keep some old vinyl records with her. If you can find a record player, we might be able to do this again sometime?" he asked, smiling.
-
[i]Arty face got redder.[/i] "Y-You want to d-do this with me again?"
-
He smiles warmly, blushing a little. "Yeah, itd be fun."
-
[i]Arty averts her eyes and gets quiet.[/i] "Why? Why dance with me? I'm nothing special. Iso is a far better dancer."
-
He chuckles. "Well, i don't know Iso, and...well...for what its worth...i kinda like you..." He blushes, shyly looking away
-
[i]Arty lets go and looks at the ground. [/i] "You can stop lying now. I know you don't like me. No one really does."
-
He looks puzzled. "What's THAT supposed to mean? Why would i lie?"
-
[i]Arty seems to get slightly angry.[/i] "Oh come on! You're only being nice to me because I fed your family, am I right? You just want more from me! You don't really want to dance with me!"
-
He looks slightly offended. "What? Of course i actually want to dance with you! The only thing i want from you is to get to know you! And yeah, im being nice to you because you were really nice to me and my family! You helped me, and thats something not many do. I can count them out for you. One, two three, four. Only four people have ever decided to help me in my entire life, one of them having died with my parents. Artemis, I actually want to be friends... Ive never really had a friend before...". He takes a breath after saying all that, his eyes watering a bit.
-
[i]Arty starts to tear up, but stays angry.[/i] "Exactly! You only have a few people supplying you so you decided you'd make sure I kept helping by treating me like you actually care." [i]Arty full out cries. Her ears flatten, her tail wraps around her waist, and she covers herself with her arms.[/i] "This isn't the first time I've been tricked by a jerk."
-
He takes the blow like a bullet. "W-what?" he says, his voice choking.
-
[i]Iso runs between Arty and Kari. She hugs Arty tightly and glares at Kari.[/i] [b]Iso:[/b] "What did you do?!"
-
He stutters, choking up. "I...i didn't do....". He's not able to talk as it comes out as a whimper and his ears go down as he takes a step back. Artemis was the closest thing he ever had to a friend, and her recent outburst stung him like a swarm of hornets.
-
[i]Iso notices Kari's body language and looks at him with understanding. Iso stops hugging Arty and instead holds onto her shoulders.[/i] [b]Iso:[/b] "Kari, has she been talking badly about herself?"
-
He nods, shaking a bit.
