Jake walks in with his hands in his pockets looking like this: He gets one of those clear liquid drinks and takes a sip of it, the drink tasting like firewhiskey.

Janelle smiles and says, "Well that's good, then." Astrid walks into the ball, having just finished helping Elena out by prying Layali's fingers one by one off the doorframe. She'd left it to the redhead to do the rest of the dragging-of-Layali-downstairs while she went on ahead. The dress she wears looks like the following pic, just without the water and the flying fish.. It looks very expensive, made of various silks in a sort of Grecian style, and includes the gauzy shawl in the pic. Yes, starcrossed got so desperate looking for dresses she resorted to art. Her hair is left down, but has been styled into elegant waves. [AM FINALLY DONE EDITING, lol]

"Yeah." Derek leans against the wall behind him. "I suppose it just reminds me of when I was an only child. Even though I always wanted an older brother.."

Janelle leans against the wall as well and says musingly, in a completely serious tone even though she's joking, "Maybe you're a fairy godfather as one of your mages.."

Jake notices a familiar face enter, but remains in his spot, drinking his clear liquid drink.

Derek smiles. "Maybe, but I doubt it." Autumn enters the hall smiling. She is wearing this dress: but she has her hair straightened. Her smile falls as she spots Astrid. She heads to the opposite side of the Hall.

Janelle grins and says, "You never can tell with some people. For all I know you could have a fairy wand and dress in your closet.." Seeing Autumn, she smiles and waves.
Spotting someone she recognizes [not noticing Autumn - yet], Astrid heads over to the drinks and nods in greeting to Jake. She helps herself to a clear drink as well and raises an eyebrow at the taste. "Dude... what's in this stuff exactly?" As Sam walks past she calls, "Hey, Rogue, come have a drink with us."

Derek shrugs. "That's better than a French maid outfit I guess..." He waves to Autumn as well. Autumn walks over to them when she sees them waving. "Nice to see people that I know and that don't hate me here." Derek looks confused, but doesn't say anything.

Jake turns to Astrid, "It's bewitched to taste like your favorite flavor."

Astrid replies to Sam, "What, you've never heard of X-Men before? You lived your whole life in the wizarding world or something?" Turning to face Jake she asks, "Just the flavor, yeah? The actual thing doesn't become a part of it or something?"
Janelle laughs and says, "Elena actually does have one of those.. She tried to get me to try it on, but I pointed out that this ball is not a costume one." Tilting her head to the side slightly curiously, as is her old habit, Janelle asks Autumn, "Who do you mean?"

"Just the flavor. Mine tastes like firewhiskey." Jake grins.

Derek stifles a laugh at Janelle's comment as Autumn sighs. "It's just Astrid... She can hold a grudge too well."

"Aah.. Mine tastes like [insert some muggle hard liquor name here, can't be bothered to look one up]," Astrid says with a grin. "Shame they're not real.. Alcohol would have been nice.." To Sam she says, "Pardon-ez moi, couldn't think of anything else on short notice."
Janelle looks confused as she asks Autumn, "What happened? If you don't mind saying, that is. She seemed perfectly nice to me.. A bit daunting, since she's similar to Elena and thus the two of them in the same room is like having two drunk jack russels on crack mixed with sugar, but nice."

"At least we don't have to deal with the hell of hangovers." Jake says with a shrug.

"Just something that happened at the orphanage..." Derek's eyes widen. "The orphanage? She was at the orphanage?" Autumn chuckles. "That's right, I forgot I should explain everything about Logan to the mini-copy. Basically, Logan had attacked a few kids from the orphanage to get us kicked out, she was one of them. I even tried to snap Logna out of it but he bit me too, but regretted it. She just won't accept the fact that I probably saved her life and she wants to kill Logan so we need to keep him away from her when he comes in."

"True.." Astrid says in agreement to Jake, then to Sam she says, "I'll practice my improv, promise"
"Wow.. She mentioned something about an orphanage, but I didn't know it was the same one you two went to, let alone that she was one of the Incidents," Janelle says, completely forgetting that no one had explained to her before about the Incidents, finding it normal that she knew.
