"Hello again, Shifting." Claire returned his polite greeting. Her head was held higher than usual, and she stood tall and alert. "I, er, apologize for the interruption earlier." Claire was effectively distracted for a moment, then looked past him. She put her weight on her front hooves as she leaned over to look the unknown ponies in their eyes. The two quiet ponies were the only ones she had not met yet, so they were the reason why she came over in the first place.
"Who are your friends, here?" She asked Shifting, returning her stare to him.

Her head turned slightly toward Spirit when the mare whispered to her. Though, her gaze never fell from Shifty and Claire. She had noticed that he had stepped in such a way to block the view of them from Claire, but it also worked vice versa. She deeply appreciated the gesture from the stallion, as well as Spirit sticking with her. She averted her gaze here to look at Spirit fully. She leaned toward the other mare's ear to whisper back, considering the loud noise, and opened her mouth to speak. But she managed not saying anything at all when Claire simply looked over Shifty's shoulder. Albeit, she had to get on the tips of her hooves, it looked like, but it worked as Pixy pulled away and stared at Claire. They couldn't leave now, as they were directly included now.

She had to wonder at least a little bit what was about that dance floor that made people afraid to go near it, or just have a strong desire to be on there? Dancing just must bring that out in ponies though it can be fun...if less crowded. Simply watching the crowd dance along with Low as the two just sat there. Turning her head back to him when he had finally come back to their world as she paused.
Slightly nodding to agree that she could at least introduce herself. " I'm Cherry Flip...Its um nice to meet you....this is some party huh? " Pausing a moment as if thinking of what she could say to try and at least be somewhat talkative. She didn't need to have more reasons to run away from things tonight. " Biggest one thats ever hit town...Its nice at least to see everyone having fun...don't you think? " Pausing again to take a look back at him away from the dance floor once again.
(also that was one of the prettiest songs I had ever heard low key fff i love classical music)

Low Key shrugged, "That's a good, altruistic way to put it." He guessed that it didn't really matter if this party had his stamp of approval. Looking at all the other guests, they seemed to be having a good, if unwholesome, time. Perhaps he should go out on the floor and dance? The problem was he didn't know how dance, but judging by everypony else, they didn't seem to know either. Next, who was he going to dance with? Claire was too busy talking with and basking in the attention of her guests. What about Cherry? No way, they just met! As nervous as both of them were, it would only end in disaster.
Well, what else was there to do at this party? He had just eaten what was most likely twice his daily allowance of sugar and carbohydrates, and socializing was starting to become awkward. Perhaps it was time to leave? No, he couldn't, he just got here! So...he decided to just stand there, his hooves fidgeting as he looked around trying to ignore the growing awkward silence.
(( I can't say I'm that big a fan of classical, but I do like the romantic style. The first time I heard this song and learned what it was about, I cried DX I'm such a big softy ))

Aaannnddd there it was. Of course Claire Dupont had to include them so quickly. No time to beat a hasty retreat. After all, this was /her/ party. The two needed to stay and entertain her just until she got bored with them. Which, hopefully shouldn't be too horribly long.
Might as well make a show of it, too. Putting on her best smile, Spirit bowed slightly. Honestly, she felt completely wrong in front of everypony here. While they were all dressed to the nines, she had nothing. Her cloak had been ditched in a corner somewhere, and she had but a meager bracelet as her attire, "I do not believe that we had properly introduced ourselves, yet, actually," she claimed, "My name is Spirit Weaver, and my companion is Pixy Stix. It's a pleasure to meet you both."

Claire's eyes went back and forth from Spirit Weaver to Pixy Stix. What an odd collection of names. They both looked a bit out of place, with a frightened Pixy Stix looking like she'd rather be anywhere else and Spirit Weaver a bit under dressed. Oh well, they were here. Claire dipped her head slightly. "Nice to meet you both." Claire said. "Thank you for attending my little get-together." Claire flipped her large mane back behind her. Little was not a word that most ponies would use to describe the riotous party.
"I hope you two are aptly enjoying yourselves." It certainly wasn't phrased as a question, but Claire blinked at the two newly introduced mares like it was.

It had seemed that there was nothing but introductions taking place where Claire stood, everypony shaking hooves and nodding and smiling, insincerely. There was one little mare with a green mane, who was very brightly colored, who looked very frightened, and who occasionally glanced in his direction, scoping him out and making sure not to lose him, it seemed. In him, his protective instinct went wild, and he wanted to scoop her up and tell her everything would be okay, but at the moment, he would rather wait until she and him were not in public, where he would surely make her fear and embarrassment much, much worse.
There was another pony next to her, with gold eyes and a grey coat, much like himself. He took a particular interest in her, if only because of their similar traits. She wore a bracelet, made of bronze it appeared, with some small engravings on the plating.
Damascus had also noticed a tall brown stallion, with a scraggly grey beard, and mane with what looked like three braids on the cusp of falling into his eye. He wore old robes, appearing to belong to a.. What was the word? Wanderer, he supposed. A drifter, the type to never stay in one place. He could immediately tell that he and the stallion would probably not get along.
He proposed internally to just walk up to everyone in the small group up there, and introduce himself to them. Walking up to them, letting his steel clang on the floors, the chainmail rattling within, and his hair falling just above the fetlock line. He nodded to each pony collectively, smiling under his helmet. His booming, calm voice echoed out from his helmet. "Hello there, what's all this crock about?"

| Shifting Sands let the introductions and pleasantries pass until it came back to himself, at least giving him something painless to share.
"I am Shifting Sands," he greeted to the small group in general. At this point Claire posed her question to the other two, and Sands' attention drifted to the finally apparent clanging of...frankly, what appeared to be an old knight. 'Old' might have been pushing it, but for some reason he couldn't place, the armored stallion had a bearing that reminded Sands of his father--regal, sure, and...crotchety maybe? The last added mentally when Damascus posed his own forceful question. Though not intentionally rude or angry sounding really, he did come off as quite gruff.
| Sands actually smiled to himself a bit, another variant to the collective personalities present. As he was rarely bothered by much of anything, the nomad rather welcomed the new addition. It drew the topic back to more manageable places, anyway; he was never very good at sharing things about himself.

Post by Sugar Sweet on Sept 9, 2014 7:31:44 GMT -5
Drinks count: 4, working on 5
Sugar was a regular party animal now, jumping and dancing and grinding with the rest of the assorted ponies. However, she felt the need for food. More food, yes, that's what she needed. Something delicious, maybe even fancy.
And so, obviously more than a little tipsy, she stumbled in the direction of the food. She liked food. Mmmmmm, food was good. Delicious. Food equaled energy! And energy was good. Energy meant more action, and action was good too. More action meant more work done, and more work done meant more time to do this, which was very good.

Claire took a step away from the new stallion. He looked extremely out of place here, what with his strange clunky armor and almost scraggly appearance. The longer Claire stared at him, the louder her giggles became. “Goodness, sweets…” Was all she said, her voice breaking into snickers. Honestly, he looked ridiculous to her. Claire realized that her laughing was unladylike in such a situation, and decided that she should probably excuse herself.
“Well sweets,” She said, addressing the whole group with a large sweep of her hoof. “It was a…pleasure. Have a splendid time, stay beautiful!” Claire dove back into the crowd, slaloming herself through the ponies and away from the honestly hilarious looking stallion who’s name she didn’t care much to know. Weaving through the crowd again, she was spat out near a quieter hallway.
"Hmm..." She murmured, looking around. Not too far off, she saw Low Key and Cherry experiencing a rather awkward looking silence. Claire, as gracefully as she could, walked over to the group and lightly tapped Low Key's shoulder. "The only V.I.P., and you're not even dancing. For Shame, Mr. Key." She smiled, the teasing phrase accompanied by a mane flip.

Pixy personally found the knight's armor to be fascinating. She wasn't as scared off by him because his armor made him look a little more feminine than he really was, and it had that classic charm she liked. The only thing that startled her was his voice. Though, she found herself curiously staring at the design on the protection upon his shoulders and didn't even notice Claire turn and leave.
Her ears finally perked up, her interest for old-fashioned things sparked. Almost excitedly she looked up into the darkness of the slits in his helmet, but didn't move near him at the same time. "What's it made out of?" She gestured towards Dam's armored chest.
This type of thing was honestly her weak spot, one could potentially make her forget her shyness when you mention old timey things around her. Or in this case, walk up as a classic knight.

Claire was gone, now, bringing their five down to four. And if that snickering meant anything, it was probably due to the unusual sight of the Knight. He did seem rather out of place, after all. What was he even doing here? He couldn't have been a hired guard, or Claire would Have recognized him. And there was flesh on his body, so he was clearly not a Death Knight, either. Which was absolutely great. That was not the kind of stress she wanted to deal with right now. Maybe in a week when she figured things out more in this town.
But, that was still a rather good amount of stress away from her mind, with the hostess gone from their troupe. Apparently, introductions were in order again, and she dipped into a rather clumsy bow, "No crock here, Sir. Just a few party goers meeting and greeting, is all. Spirit Weaver, here, and my timid companion is named Pixy Stix."
Gah. Spirit was honestly starting to get sick of hearing her own name over and over. Introductions got very, very tiring after a bit. But, she'll live, right? She had met most if the ponies here, after all. Soon, she won't ever have to deal with this again. Yeah, next time she saw a flyer for a party, she was most certainly not going to attend. Or at least, she'd follow her original plan of getting a good meal and leaving just as fast.
Already, it was becoming obvious that she was starting to get fidgety. Her back legs twitched every now and again, but other than that, she was near completely still after she stood again.

Damascus stood firm, supporting the timid (but not so at this very moment) mare with his chest. Laughing from under his helmet, he smiled at her. "It's made of geisteel, my friend, as well as my blade. One of the few of its kind." He held her hooves and lightly set them back to the ground, and patted her head. Then, he turned to face Spirit.
"Very nice to meet you, madame Weaver, Stix. My name is Damascus Rose, current guardian of the North Hive." He bowed his head. "At your service."
In light of Claire's giggling and sudden leave, he had realized that he did look very out of place in this setting, but, it wasn't like he'd ever meet her or anyone else here again, why would he care? Although it did sting a little. He always thought his armor looked gorgeous. Maybe he'll get another chance to talk to her when his armor (or, at least his helmet) was not on his body.

The unicorn didn't understand what exactly North 'Hive' meant, she wasn't exactly knowledgable on changelings. More than clueless, actually. If more books were writen on them, in a fiction sense, she'd probably know more. But alas, not much was known in the non-fiction sense either so. She occupied herself with gazing at his armor as Spirit kindly introduced the both of them.
She also didn't understand much of the type of metal Dam mentioned, but it sounded sturdy and durable. Too fascinated to really think about it, she went and tentatively poked his armor. And then flinched back when he moved. Her face flushed with embarrassment when she realized she acted without thinking.
She immediately went back to that meek and shy demeanor and basically hid behind Spirit. Making a small squeak in the process. She still wasn't used to being around men, and so friendly to strangers.

"I won't hurt you, Pixy, I promise. So, friends, what brings you here? You don't seem to be much the.. Partying type." He said the last words with a hint of disgust. His original reason for coming here had been momentarily forgotten, and he had just missed his chance to yell at the host. Dammit.
He sighed to himself. 'I bet my groceries just got stolen too.' He thought.
