After a some idle chat Gordon and Lucy pulled away before heading towards Kaelas "Well Kaelas this is quite the party Ceriph has set up." Gordon said as he approached.

"Gift? Yours or his? Like I said I did bring something small for you. You have been very kind to me lately." Semaj points at the large wrapped object that he had a golem bring in earlier.

"I do warn you it will need love and care..." He takes another sip from his flask. He then breaths out hard and shivers. "That stuff is strong." He comments on his drink. Steam escapes from his boots his time. Semaj then checks his watch.

"As easily as I could spend the night chattering away with you my dear I should probably mingle. As should you, I find mingling with everyone makes for a good hostess as well as a good guest. I do hope you like your present. Just please make sure it doesn't accidentally get out in here." Semaj with a pleasant smile bows and excuses himself from Ceriph to the crowd. He would make his way to Gordon and Lucy next.

Semaj would come up from behind the two positioning himself to Lucy's empty side and without interrupting Gordon's conversation with Kaelas whisper to her. "Very nice costume, cheater."

"I thought it cleaver." Lucy replied playfully elbowing Semaj in the stomach. "And I hope Victor isn't offended by your gift, Gord."

"Our gift." Gordon reminds Lucy, "And I don't care if he get offended, I just hope he reads it, and it's a good book." Turning to Semaj before he and Lucy could could continue squabbling, "So I see you got wangled into coming, I'm glad."

Nodding at the approaching couple, Kaelas smiles. "Thank you. She's been fretting herself and driving us all to distraction for weeks now." He pauses a moment, then adds a bit softer," the event in the Mountains did have some good to it, I suppose. She'd been worried that she wouldn't be able to convince any Magi to attend but meeting all of you there helped." (OOC, assume he said this before Semaj arrived; it works better that way but I didn't want to have ignored Gordon's first comment.)

Kaelas appears amused at the interplay of the other three Magi, then winces as he looks across the room at his new wife. "My manners, I'm sorry. Magus Gordon, Magus Lucy, Magus Semaj, this is Magus Raiden, an alumni of the University. Semaj and Gordon are two of the leaders of Securities and Futures Commission. And I believe Lucy is an officer in her own right, as well as doing Gordon the honor of being his wife." With a glance towards Phedre, he smiles a little. "If she asks, do me a favor and tell her I did that right away?"
--
The bronze golem gets a bit closer, clearly revealing both the TOMU crest on her shoulder and the almost ground out 'Sn9' lettering on her forehead. There looks like there was something else underneath that at some point but it's completely scrubbed out. She dithers a little bit more as she finishes her glass of wine but finally approaches them.

"...so, um, you should be punished. For breaking walls and golems and other stuff. It's like murder 'cause we're people too. So... I was suppose do say something here, what was it.." she trails off, that last part pretty obviously not meant for Laiden. Biting her lip a little, she stares at him blankly as if hoping for him to prompt her or something.
--
EDIT: With a somewhat politely subdued squeal, Ceriph makes a beeline for her gift. Semaj had said it needed care and stuff that made it sound like it might be alive so that makes it sorta like a guest, right? So she should go greet it. Across the room, in different directions, Kaelas and Phedre both sigh a little, even as they smile.

---

OOC: Golems, at least Sparked ones, don't get drunk from alcohol. They can get 'giddy' or worse if they eat too much high-energy foods (sugar, heavy starches, etc) due to the burst of power they get after it breaks down and is absorbed by their power source. It's not much energy, but given that they normally have the exactly the same amount of power all the time, it's unbalancing to them.

Even Suzi has to facepalm. For serious? This was the incredibly dangerous enemy? Like, what-EVER. So not even worth her time. She starts to edge back, then grins. Since this was such a total bust, she ought to do something fun to prove herself to the other brasses... like maybe slip some of that alcohol into some of the non-alcoholic drink...

Ace grins at Phedre, answering for Jellikal. "Oh, she's been helping me not fail quite so hard in my classes. She's a real brain, don't you know."

Laidan cocks his head at the odd bronze golem, considering, holding her gaze (assuming her eyes work they same way a person's would) while slowly and inobtrusively moving between his date and the golem. "Yes, I suppose I have smashed a lot of walls, and broken a few golems, though surprisingly few beyond fixing, and only unthinking ones so far as I am aware. There are many who have been far more destructive than I. Are you acquainted with the magus Sconibulus?"

Laidan's date is happy to be behind him; she edges towards the wall, pressing her back against it, so nobody can sneak up on her, fanning herself a little with her hand as though merely warm.

"I have to agree, and yet that just makes you a cleaver cheater." Semaj jokes as he rubs his stomach.

"Yes I did get wangled into coming here. Ceriph wouldn't let me be til I agreed to show. Guess its good to get out of the lab and not have the opportunity to dwell though." Semaj comments to Gordon. He takes another sip from his flask. The liquid inside finally starts to show some effect.

"No worries." Semaj reassures Kaelas before going on to make small talk. "Magus Radian, very nice to make your acquaintance. An alumni are we? What was your area of specialties if you don't mind me asking."

The bronze golem stares back a moment, obviously not sure how to reply to that comment. "Uh, yeah, he's an officer of... wait a moment! Pluto- I mean Pitchy said as you were the bad guy." She scowls at him. "Stop trying to twist me up. Where was... you're bad and stuff so you should be ashamed. Punished, I mean. I shoulda written this down" she mutters to herself.

Alpha, having noticed the tension rising, slips up behind the bronze but stays silent to allow Laiden to settle this if he can.

"So Ah've seen and heard, Ace. When Geoffrey and Ah were looking after things while Kae was away, we were very impressed with Jellikal's work- academic and administrative both." She flashes a smile at her before giving Ace a stern look, Phedre adds, "but yae've one of your own, when as yae chose to use it.

Kaelas chuckles a little at Semaj's comment about Ceriph. His daughter does have a rather unsettling tendency for getting people to agree to things by the simple use of stubborn cuteness.

Raiden could not help but smile a little, glad that he had attended a place of knowledge where even the upper caste of administration were able to enjoy the nuances of his chosen calling and not find him to be simply random. "There are several things that have sparked an idea of study...though it has been very interesting so far." The mask shifted to looking wizened and several years older than Raiden. "The most promising so far is that there could possibly be a factor inlaid into the metal the instant that it is dawned, but I'm far from that solution."

Raiden pondered for a moment if he should find some refreshment before something else caught his attention, and as such, he almost missed being introduced to people, the mask shifting to a more neutral feel to it. "Good evening to you all, and of course I do not mind being asked. I am a Magus well schooled in the workings of Chaos." Raiden had long before now been expecting of the usual reactions to this, given that most see Chaos magi as unstable people that look at things till they explode or do something completely unexpected, not to mention being creepy and secluded. Of course, he wouldn't assume that other well-learned Magi would react that way, but some things are always a possibility.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Raiden." Gordon seems to forgo the formality of titles. "Well drat!" Gordon looks at his pocket watch, "I need to head back, oh well." Gordon lens over and kisses Lucy on the cheek, "Though Lucy will say for the evening. Goodnight." Waiting for the resulting farewells Gordon heads out, giving vague reasons for his early exit.

Grieving Lily excuses herself from Viktor and wanders the hall once more, she spies the potential confrontation brewing around Laidan and heads in that direction, sighing slightly.

Sconibulus, meanwhile, is clambering into Semaj's contraption and trying to make sense of the assorted control levers and buttons without touching them, yet, after all, it wouldn't do to be dragged from the to-err contraption, without actually getting to play with it.

"Really, Chaos? That is a most interesting field of study. Things like the butterfly effect, topological mixing, density of periodic orbits, and strange attractors? This is assuming the small bits of knowledge I have are the same as what you have researched. I often find myself bored and jump from project to project." Semaj sips from his flask and then puts it away. His costume leaks steam yet again. Semaj is well on his way to walking home at this point.

"Don't worry Gordon, I'll take care of her for ya." Semaj puts his arm around Lucy completely disregarding personal space while clenching his abdominal and chest muscles in anticipation of an incoming elbow. "She isn't going to turn into a pumpkin at midnight or anything, right?" As this phrase leaves Semaj's mouth he wonders what the equivalent Muelsfellian reference is as Disney stories are non existent in this world.

---------------------------------

The cockpit of the helicopter was open, no real safety devices in case of a crash and nothing to stop someone from standing into the helicopters blades if their presents slipped ones mind. The blades stood about 8 foot off the ground and could tilt slightly to maneuver the helicopter. There was only one seat. In front of it laid all of the controls for flight. Two pedals, one for each foot, a lever on the left side of the seat, what looked like the handle bars to a bicycle with a hand brake on each side and in the middle slightly lower than the handle bars sit all the buttons and switches including a big one labeled START. Below the buttons on a area that sat between the fliers legs was various gauges. Upon touching the handle bars it would be found that they tilt up and down.

-------------------------------

Off in the distance sat a cloaked figure. He was observing the hall waiting for the exit of a certain individual. If Gordon leaves by any means of travel by ground as soon as he is out of sight of the hall he would find is path blocked by a large earthen wall.

((OOC: Only real problem is that I actually work on helicopters a bit so I am sitting trying to remember what is needed in a cockpit... :P If you need or want more info let me know. Oh and the steam is made via a chemical reaction so there is no substantial ignition source.

EDIT: And switches I almost forgot switches!))

Laidan can't help but notice the crowd of slowly gathering around him and wonders just how concerned he should be. "I am not trying to twist you up, I am simply pointing out that I am probably not the worst offender for the crimes you accuse me of. Perhaps your friend's party is not the best time to discuss this, we wouldn't want to ruin it. Maybe we can talk another time?"

As it slowly dawns on the bronze that not only is she now being surrounded by various golems, she's also completely over her head. Pluto had seemed so sure that Laidan would be all aggressive and stuff so they could justify throwing him out or something but he seems really polite and actually kinda nice but he's a Magus- and not even one of their maybe not enemy Magi 'cause their part of TOMU- so he shouldn't be nice and... The golem blinks. "Sure? I mean..."

She looks around a little, then says in a low tone, "Umm, look, I kind of forget what I was supposed to say to you at this point." Reaching up to rub her chin, she coughs. "Could you, like, pretend I annoyed you or something? It's just, they're watching me and I really wanted to impress Pl-itchy. She's really cool and... yeah. So..." she trails off, giving Laidan a hopeful look.

Kaelas gives Semaj an amused look. "Pumpkin" he asks curiously. He's making some headway with this land's myths and folk tales but even with having to quell Ceriph's demands for multiple bedtime stories every night, he hasn't read nearly all of them. So he's interested in hearing about whatever it is Semaj is referring to.

"Fine!" Laidan gives her an exaggerated wink (hopefully she knows what that means) then puts an offended look on his face, and turns to present his arm to his date and stalks off to find someone else to talk to.

Ace laughs, waving a hand. "You know what they say - life is painless for the brainless. If I don't try I never fail."

Jellikal scowls, tugging on his leash a little. "Bad boy. You're going to flunk out if you don't apply yourself, and then who'll I talk to?"

The bronze stares a moment, confused, before cluing in. For a minute, she'd thought that had been a flirting wink. But then she remembered how Sparks had told her that humans do a really big wink when they're trying to imply something. And he'd pretended to be all annoyed so she figures he was implying that he agreed to her request.

A few beats too late for it to really look natural, she calls at him, "you'd better run! Or walk, sure, I mean, it's crowded so..." She clears her throat nervously, then slinks off to her friends. Mission complete?

"And remember our agreement- no class, no job" Phedre adds to Jellikal's admonishment.

Suzi reaches the drinks table, a mischevious look on her face. Checking to see if anyone's watching, she reaches a hand for the bottle of vodka. A glass hand grabs her wrist; the glass's expression, however, is playful.

"What're you up to, cutie?" asks Roshan, his flamboyant voice a little high pitched, ringing as it passes through his glass voicebox.

"Making mischeif," Suzi replies, just as gaily. She knows Roshan and his friends won't stop her, not really - they may belong to a different clique, but that clique isn't one that's often at odds with hers.

"Well, I'm under orders not to allow mischeif," Roshan teases. "But a kiss from a pretty girl might turn my head a little..."

Blushing a bit, Suzi goes in to give Roshan a quick peck on the cheek; cheekily, Roshan turns his head at the last second to graze her lips, though he's gentle - he has to be, as his glass form is more fragile than her brass. Suzi makes as though to slap him, though she refrains for the same reason; lauging, Roshan lets her spike the punch, moving to make a round of the room carrying a tray of stuffed mushrooms.

~*~

Meanwhile, Laidan's date clutches his arm, her stomach churning. "This was a mistake," she murmers softly, before hastily recanting. "I mean... I like you well enough, I just... I shouldn't have come. There's so many of them..."

~*~

Ace pouts. "But I'm just not smart enough! Costuming is what I do best. I figure once you fire me I'll open my own designer line." With some of Jelli's money, he doesn't add aloud.

Laidan whispers back to his date "You'll be fine, deep breath, remember they have no idea who you are." He scans the room looking for someone to talk to. I really didn't think there'd be so many of them, though I guess I shouldn't be surprised at this particular party. I need a group of actual people so she can calm down

Gordon Walks outside where he takes a stroll over to Semaj's flying contraption before he headed home. "Where does that man come up with his ideas?" Semaj was always building things that seemed like complex magic, but some how had no magic about them.

As Gordon approached he saw movement in the air ship. "Well, what do we have here?" Gordon says loud enough for anyone in the near vicinity to hear him.

The door opens with a soft creak, then closes with a thud. If anyone looks over, they'd see an elderly man leaning on a cane slowly shuffling into the room. He's dressed in a very conservative suit that is also very out of fashion and starting to be a bit threadbare as well. He peers around the room, a sour scowl on his face as he heads for the buffet table. He doesn't greet or even acknowledge anyone- except that the more observant might notice the flash of bitterness as his gaze passes over Chancellor Kaelas.

A few steps behind him is a small flesh golem, also dressed in old fashioned clothes. The golem doesn't look very well made- no obvious enhancements and the eyes are cloudy and don't seem to focus well. As the pair gets further into the room, an older version of the TOMU crest could be seen on the flesh golem's shoulder.

Kyomi and Masterslug arrive, very late, but with Kyomi looking very ornate, in a suit of blue and silver plate armor, with a feathered helm and short blue cape, and Masterslug looking like he hadn't slept in a while, dressed in a perfect tux (for someone a size smaller than he) and an ornate clay mask that he had managed to -mostly- cut cleanly off an old golem, and holding a large-ish box labeled 'GIFT', they arrive, non-the-less.

"I feel like taking a deep breath will leave me embarrassingly free of clothing." Masterslug whispers, "And this box is heavy."

"Hush." Kyomi replies, handing over her invitation, and waiting for the doors to open, "I can fix it in a moment, we are late as it is."

Presenting Kyomi the Valkyrie and Masterslug the Agent.

"Agent? The hell is that?" Masterslug whispers.

"Better than 'spy'." She replies, waving to anyone who might look their way.
