Fenny made a face that was half-frown, half-pout. "Fat lot of good you are."
TGM waved hello to Hyana before she and Liz got interested in the table, but unwilling to crawl on the floor herself, she instead turned to Saiki. "Hey Saiki, mind helping me mix the punch?" "I'll get the ladle. I think it's still in the kitchen." said Fenny, heading off without another word to Matsu.

"Oh hey-OW!" Elizabeth cursed as she smacked her head on the table on the way out. "Abeni is scared to come out."
Abeni shrank away, clutching at her face mask. "I don't want to come out." She whispered. Elizabeth rubbed the back of her head. "Did you bring Saiki with you? She may come out for her...or a puppy."

Hannah pushed open the door, peering into the room.
Ikram frowned. "It's not even crowded yet."
"I don't care," she hissed. "There are still people. They don't know us; we don't know them. We're new. Behave! And so help me, if you - "
"If I what?" He flashed her a winning smile and walked past her into the room. "Exude charm? Make all my new admirers melt at my feet?"
"Shut up you smarmy... smarmosaur. Go put these cupcakes with the other food." She narrowed her eyes. "And try not to flirt with something just because it moves."
Ikram scanned the room, eyes landing on a man standing by the soda. "Oh don't worry," he said. "He's not moving."

Matsu looked utterly confused as to why Fenny had suddenly walked away from him. "Fenny?" He glanced around him and his golden eyes went wide, he suddenly seemed to realize there was new people in the room. His hand slipped around his shoulder as if to hide a deformity. He blushed lightly and gave a nod to Ikram and Hannah a nod, they were the only ones who weren't busy.

"A nod," Ikram said, grinning rather triumphantly. "I'm totally in."
"Bah." Hannah glared. "I wash my hands of this." And with that, she walked off to find a nice wall to loiter on.
Ikram shrugged. He put on his most dashing smile and walked over. "So," he asked, "can I just put these cupcakes here?"

"I'm DBA," DBA responded automatically, turning around to scan the room for Saiki. "Sorry Liz, I don't see...wait." She caught sight of Saiki, looking confusedly at the place where Fenny headed off to. Shrugging, Saiki started to follow Fenny to the kitchen.
"Saiki! Wait!" DBA yelled, jogging across the room, bumping into Ikram as she went. "Oh, sorry 'bout that...," she called back, not breaking her stride. Saiki simply stared at her as she came to a stop. "What?"
"Abeni won't come out from under the table," DBA answered. "Liz thinks that she might come out if you were there." Saiki looked back at where the kitchen was. "Fenny asked me to help her with the punch..." she said, thinking.
"Oh, come on. I'm sure she can manage it on her own. And unless you have a puppy with you, Liz and I need your help." Saiki was put off by the puppy comment, but she sighed. "All right, all right. I'll come," Saiki replied with a resigned look as DBA led her back to the table.

"Hu!" Ikram reeled a bit, watching as the girl who had inadvertently bumped into him jogged away. He didn't mind, though, feeling no guilt at all as he surreptitiously eyed her as she went back over to the table.

Seeing that the little girl wouldn't come out, Hyana crawled out from under the table and stood up. Spotting Sakura, she ran over to the place where she was putting up streamers.
"Hey Hyana-chan! Grab a stepstool and help, will you?" Sakura called from the top of her ladder.
Hyana rolled her eyes, which was strange for her, and thrust her arms out in front of her. Giving a mighty push, she created a column of earth underneath her feet, which kept growing until she cut it off about a foot above where Sakura stood. "Who needs ladders, Sakura-sama?" she snorted. She reached over and grabbed a couple of streamers from Sakura's basket.
"Sorry, Hyana-chan. Forgot!" Sakura said sheepishly, turning her head away to hide her red cheeks.
"It's all good," came Hyana's murmured reply.

Kai wandered quietly into the party. Behind her was Yasu, dragging a reluctant and morose looking Ryu. All Ryu wanted was to be away from people, but Yasu had insisted on coming and insisted that Ryu attend also. Yasu noticed that people were trying to coax Abeni from under the table. He had a different idea in mind. Why make her come out, when he could go in? He walked over to the table.
"Hey Abeni, can I come in?" The little boy asked, releasing his brother's hand. Ryu sighed, he had only come because of Yasu, and there he was running off,

Abeni stared at Yasu and then shook her head. "I'm coming out." She pointed at where she could see Saiki's shoes. "Saiki is here." She sounded much happier now. She quickly shimmied out from underneath the table "DARA!" She shouted using her own word for older sister. She shot across the floor with her arms open and quickly latched onto Saiki.
"Good, I knew she'd come out for you." Elizabeth smiled and then glanced up at Sakura and Hyana. Then she saw Kai. "KAI! PEF!" She grinned and bolted to her, quickly grasping her and hugging her close.
Hati sighed and then peered at the man with the cupcakes in interest. "What do you have there?" She asked as she smoothly came up to him, peering down at the frosted treat.

Saiki took a step back to keep from falling over due to the force of Abeni's collision. A small smile tugged at her lips as she gently untangled the child from her legs. "Hello," she said softly, crouching down to eye level with Abeni.
Meanwhile, DBA had perched herself on the edge of the table, squeezing into the small space between the fireflakes and chips. Munching on a handful of the chips, she sat swinging her legs and laughing at Abeni's rather loud display.

"Found the- wow, a lot of people showed up." Fenny walked back over to TGM, ladle in hand. TGM took it from her and handed her a bottle of soda instead.
"Pour that in, will you? Saiki went off to help get Abeni out, and I can't do this by myself." TGM said with a frown, pouring in the orange juice.

Kai hugged her back and smiled, though still remained fairly quiet. She wasn't as opposed to the idea of a party as Ryu was, but she didn't go to themvery often and rather preferred to stay home. Though she would eventually become a little more accustomed to the atmosphere and become slightly more talkative.
Yasu watched Abeni run out from underneath the table. Well, so much for that. At least Abeni found someone to latch on to that wasn't mentally unstable like Geming. Yasu proceeded to play some form of imagination game under the table, knowing not what else to do. He had become quite adept at entertaining himself.
Ryu wanted nothing more then to leave. And wondered why Yasu hadn't come out from under the sheet when Abeni did.

"I can't believe you came." Elizabeth gave a sharp yank on Kai's hair, oh inside jokes. "I was for sure you'd be holed up at home eating vegan cheese and nachos. Eh?"
Matsu looked a little upset that Fenny was ignoring him now. With a soft sigh he made his way to Hyana and Sakura. "Can I help?" He murmured, looking down at the ground.
Abeni gave Saiki an unseen grin. "I missed you! Oh, oh oh, can Yasu play with us?" She pointed at the table where Yasu was still hidden.

Kai rubbed the back of her head. She didn't seem surprised by this behaviour at all, rather she seemed to have expected it.
"I'm a vegetarian, Elizabeth. Not a vegan. I do still eat cheese. And I would rather be at a home, but I didn't want to miss this. It was hell to get Ryu here though, because it's not hard to see he really doesn't wanna be."
Yasu heard his name from his place under the tablecloth, and he stuck his head out from under the fabric. Appearing to be a small disembodied head, he listened to see what Saiki would say, glad that Abeni was including him.
