☾ ¦ Ballroom

@♤ ¦ Ravi Kim Jieun put on her gloves; she had worn them to the masquerade, but taken them off when it became unbearably hot. She walked over to the drinks, rummaging through them. She found an alcoholic beverage, and stared at it doubtfully. Could she put some of the aconitum in now? She sighed. That wouldn't work; he'd be suspicious. She'd just have to leave it where he might find it. She poured herself some a tiny amount, and walked away from the guy, but stood close enough to keep an eye on him. She took a tiny sip and made a face. How could anyone drink this? Another thought hit her. What if he didn't like these kinds of drinks? She sighed again. Well, then she'd have to carry on with the plan.

@♡ ¦ Song Jieun Ravi's suspiscions grew as he felt something bad was giong to happen. He turned aroudn to look at the girl, but she wasnt there, she had disapeared. He had an uneasy feeling in his stomach and he started to look around cautiously to see if she was anywhere near him. He looked around but say nothing alarming. 'maybe she just left' he told himself, and let the thought pass, taking another drink and continuing to eat since he didnt want to make a big situation out of something so little.

@♤ ¦ Ravi Kim Jieun hesitated, and sat back down. She'd have to make plans... She started ticking things off of her finger. It'd be better if he was drunk or something, so she'd have to see if there was any wine or something. He'd have to be holding his drink. She looked through her pouch. She felt around before finding a small bundle, and pulled it out. She put the rest back under her skirts. Casual skin contact should be avoided. She opened the bundle, where there were small bits of dried flower. Would it still work dried? She couldn't believe the garden had aconitum, but there it was. It was still a crazy plan that might not work. A lot if it seemed to rely on chance. She paused and debated whether it was worth it or not, while hiding the bundle from view. A small amount of it wouldn't do anything, but a large amount would be sure to attract his attention...

@♡ ¦ Song Jieun Ravi looked around at the dancing couples, making sure not to hit them as he continued to refill his plate full fo the deliscious foods and drink his punch. He decided he would just stay there since this was the only entertaining thing here. He ate there peacefully, and almost forgot about the girl he had talked to, of whom he couldnt remember her name. He didnt really care since he knew they would talk ever again, but was quite suer they would meet again. She seemed like a pretty determined girl, so he would have to watch his back to see her next move.

@♤ ¦ Ravi Kim (XD It's fine XD)
Jieun forced her lips together, forming a straight, severe line, trying not to laugh. She was about to burst from it. "Oh, well, good luck with the game." That was all she could manage. What about her said that she was going to kill anyone? How was she supposed to kill him now? She was so light, if she jumped on him, she doubted it'd make any difference. The mere idea of it was ridiculous. She let out a small laugh, muffled with by her hand. She took a deep breath before standing. There was no point in sitting. The guy was going to drink something. She headed to where everyone else was, planning to get to know people. Suddenly, a crazy idea popped into her head. She wasn't sure if she could pull it off, but it was worth a shot... if he had wanted to kill her, he could've done that before. She pulled out a pouch from her petticoats , and headed to the buffet.

@♡ ¦ Song Jieun [[omg sorry for my short posts im super tired rn, just got back from preseason :P]]
Ravi could tell she was about to make her move, and since he was losing interest in her he decided he would leave now since he didnt want to spend any more energy trying to find out something that she obviously wasnt going to tell him, he even bet it wasnt that important and that she was just messing with him. After a while he chuckled and got up. "Ah, well it was nice talking to you, but seeing as your about to attempt to kill me, I think I'll take my leave now" He said with a grin and got back up to go and get some punch at the buffet, turning so he couldnt see her reaction, although he bet it was priceless.

@♤ ¦ Ravi Kim Jieun shrugged. "Well, you could, change, but honestly," She paused and looked him over before continuing. "I don't think you would." She threw him another look before addressing his last statement. "Oh." She said, disbelievingly. "You don't." She raised an eyebrow. Of course he had the general idea of what she was thinking. He did look quick-witted. She was playing with her. She was suddenly reminded of her cat back at home. He caught mice, and played with it, letting it think it had a chance of escaping, before he ate it. She narrowed her eyes momentarily. She was suddenly very aware of the poisons she had managed to gather around from the castle, hidden inside her skirts. She just smiled innocently again. "Never mind."

@♡ ¦ Song Jieun Ravi raised an eyebrow at her point. "Of course you can, change is everything, right?" He asked with a smirk. "Maybe I should, its obviously my buisness right? I dont pick up on things easily" He chuckled, although it was a lie he didnt really care, he just wanted to know what she was talking about.

@♤ ¦ Ravi Kim "Well, if you're not a patient person, then you're not." She shrugged. "You can't change that, can you?" She looked up at his face. He was grinning. He was enjoying this. She smiled back innocently. "You don't have to know." She said, shaking her head. "It's a waste of time; you already know it."

@♡ ¦ Song Jieun He could tell she was beginning to become suspiscious of him, but it was all part of his plan to mess with her, he was having fun seeing how confused she was acting, even though she wasnt show it, he could sense it, he could read anyone, especially someone like her. "So then why not leave me waiting, what if i'm not a very patient person?" He asked with a grin.

@♤ ¦ Ravi Kim Jieun paused. Was his use of the word 'act' just a coincidence? Did he know anything? Was her expression betraying anything? Jieun glowered at him for a moment before throwing a smile back at him. She'd have to keep watch on him. She didn't trust much people, particularly this guy; there was something about him... "Maybe it was." She answered casually, dropping the bread into a trashcan next to her. She brushed the crumbs off of her dress, looking back up.

@♡ ¦ Song Jieun Ravi shrugged back at her. "I dont know, maybe this is just an act" He pointed out with a grin, to slightly hint tha the was catching onto what she was trying to do, although he wasnt sure how she would do it. For now he would just have to watch her every move. "Ah really? Sounded like it was about me, isn't that right?" He said with a smirk and a raised eyebrow, he was guessing confidently, not 100% sure but close enough to bet on it.

@♤ ¦ Ravi Kim Jieun shrugged. "Well, I'm not your typical girl, than, am I?" She replied, maintaining her casual tone. She had to relax. What was this? Another act. She's done acting before. What about her job? It was her job to lie and act. The whole world had been a stage. She took a deep breath. "Nothing for you to know." She replied to his second question. She had been about to say that the world didn't revolve around him and she could sit anywhere she wanted to, whether he liked it or not. She had stopped in mid-sentence, because from what she gathered, the guy was usually self-centered. She didn't have to waste her breath telling him that.

@♡ ¦ Song Jieun Ravi could sense an attitude change within her which made him raise his guard, he would have to be smarter around him because he sensed she was planning something, so he decided to watch her closely to see what she was doing. "Oh well thats a first, I thought girls loved to dance with guys, this kinda " He shook his head and looked at her picking at the bread. "The world doesnt what?" He asked curiously.

@♤ ¦ Ravi Kim Jieun ignored him for the most part, feeling her anger rise inside her, and suddenly became very aware of the pouch hanging inside her skirts. It was full of poisons she had managed to find from around the castle, and Jieun decided maybe she'd be able to do without this guy. She narrowed her eyes. She'd have to play it cool, if he knew what she was planning... She looked up and was about to retort, when she caught herself. "No, I don't like dancing much." She said airily, still picking at the bread. "And the world doesn't-" She sighed and stopped herself from continuing, before looking down at her bread again.

@♡ ¦ Song Jieun Ravi chuckled at her saracasm and shook his head. "No, but why aint chu out there anyway, I like sitting by myself, why dont you go around for a guy over here, thats a girly thing to do right?" He said cockily and turned back to his food and the dancing couples.

@♤ ¦ Ravi Kim (hey thanks ^^)
Jieun started, and looked up. The guy sitting near her was looking at her rather questioningly and had asked her a question. Jieun frowned. She didn't like his tone very much. "Sitting, now, is that against the law?" She asked coolly, even though she was slightly annoyed at the boy. She looked at him suspiciously, but turned back to her bread. It wouldn't be any good for her, if she made any enemies here.

@♡ ¦ Song Jieun [[yah sure np XD]]
Ravi looked around as he ate silently, and saw that someone else besides him was sitting as well. Surprised, he moved next to her to see what was her problem since he didnt like the fact she was so close to him, which made him a little suspiscious, which of course was unintentional, but it was also a life saver, he always knew who to watch out for, and people like her usually were the most lethal, even if they didnt look the part. "Yah what chu doin here?" He said with a raised eyebrow, although you couldnt really see it since it was covered by his mask.

@♤ ¦ Ravi Kim Jieun sat in a chair, and made sure her mask was secure. She sighed and picked at at bread she brought from the tables. Dancing was never really her thing, she prefered singing, if she was alone. She couldn't wait to go home with those gifts everyone was promised, and hand them over to her mother. She could almost imagine the look of overwhelmed surprise, and Jieun smiled, still picking at the bread. She wasn't really hungry, but she brought it over so she'd have something to do; it wouldn't do to look miserable at a party like this.
(I have to go; could you reply now, and I'll reply to your post tomorrow?)

Ravi walked aimlessly on the floor, his mask clinging to his face as he evaded all the dancing couples and made his way to the food, the most interesting part here in his opinion. Grabbing everything he could, he sat down on a random chair and watched as people swayed slowly to the soft music, not really paying attention much and keeping his eye on his food since he was starving.

@♤ ¦ Kim Himchan Yuri was wondering if he just had then why isn't he happy? Usually people do it for pleasure, but he seemed angrier then ever. She then raised an eyebrow. "...were you ?" She slowly asked in a very very quiet tone. She then lifted up her mask and looked at him straight in the eye.

@♡ ¦ Kwon Yuri Himchan brushed his bangs out of his eyes once again, he should really cut them one day but he looked handsome with them. Then again, it was starting to get annoying. He ignored the attitude that she gave off, only blowing a small puff of air in annoyance as he continued to lean against the wall. His right eye twitched at the question before he scoffed softly. "No, I wasn't beaten up, but I was ed before I got here," he mumbled, averting his eyes to anything in the room besides the lady.

@♤ ¦ Kim Himchan Yuri only gritted her teeth in annoyance and backed off from him. "Fine. Don't tell me." She said a little angry. She didn't know exactly what to do with him. She wanted to know, but what would she do. "I didn't care that much anyways." She hissed at him. She then studied his appearance. He didn't look like he was in the best of shape. "Did someone already beat you up?" She asked in a cold tone. Since everyone was stuck here in the castle until the King was killed, she wouldn't of been surprised.

@♡ ¦ Kwon Yuri Himchan pursed out his lips, to be honest, he only glanced at her when she walked down the streets, he did that to everyone really. He didn't play favorites, he wasn't the type to be biased on first sight. "I look at everyone and my business isn't yours," he stated. He didn't like when people butted into anything that involved him unless they paid money. His job was down right disgusting, but he was only there because his daily customer would meet him there. Usually, he never left his work place, or in the red light district, but he was paid fairly so he didn't mind going out to visit the person.

@♤ ¦ Kim Himchan "Yes I'm that girl." She whispered. She's finally met the man she strangely saw everyday. The strange man who always stayed at the exact same alley right across from her building. Even when she came out of work late, he would still be there. "We never talked..." She said to him. "...but I know you looked at me everyday." She said more of a firm statement then a question. "Why are you always there?" She asked. She wanted to know who this man was.

@♡ ¦ Kwon Yuri Himchan's eyes widened as he found himself being pulled by the woman, her grip and force surprisingly strong. Of course, his frail body couldn't do anything but be dragged along, now matter how hard he had struggled. He then found himself in a somewhat compromising position, back against the wall as she was now standing in front of him, hands reaching for his mask. Before he could even react, it was tugged off successfully and his eyes narrowed even more at her words, his orbs almost completely dissappearing. Of course, he did cringe a bit at the small scream, screams still hurt his ears no matter how quiet they were. Everyday after work? Did he know someone like that? The gears in his mind churned slowly, mind working as quickly as they can before a thought appeared in his mind. "You're that girl?" he asked carefully, his question being a bit to vague, even if he had out emphasis on the that.

@♤ ¦ Kim Himchan Yuri listened as he talked, but she then squinted her eyes a little. When she looks at him, the feeling she had earlier still hasn't disappeared, but he was wearing that damn mask...

Yuri grabbed his hand and dragged him over to the corner of the room putting him against the wall. She then raised both of her hands and lifted up his mask, then the face rung a bell and she went wide eyed. "I DO KNOW YOU!" She quietly screamed at him so no one else would hear the two in the ballroom. "You're the guy I see everyday after I get out of work!" She said pointing her finger at his face.

@♡ ¦ Kwon Yuri Himchan narrowed his eyes at the figure in front of him, wondering why someone would just dismiss a thought so easily, how they could even dismiss him so easily. But then again, he was always unimportant, and too self conscious though he acted arrogant. "That's fine," he sighed. Out of all things in this game, he would hated to be mistakened for someone else. What if someone mistook you as their enemy and killed you? That thought was not appealing to Himchan. Once he caught her gaze, he quickly averted his eyes, letting the awkwardness of the situation soak in. "People are stuck here, trying to either kill each other for find clues," he stated. He, in fact, had found a clue not so long ago, so he was slowly catching onto what was actually happening.

@♤ ¦ Kim Himchan Yuri just dismissed the subject in her head. "Ah, maybe its nothing..." She mumbled to herself. She then looked around the room to see if they were alone...they were. She took a couple steps back as she started getting aware that she was talking to a man. "Umm, I'm sorry. I think I've mistakened you as someone else." She said. What was she thinking? Even if he did know here, he wouldn't of recognized her with the mask she was wearing. "Umm...I don't suppose you know whats going on here do you?" She said making eye contact with him.

@♡ ¦ Kwon Yuri As he watched her run up to him, he couldn't help but feel a bit panicked. "You do?" he spoke, sounding a bit surprised as he also had seem familiar to her. He huffed softly before giving a slight nod, indicating that she did seem like someone he knew. "A bit, why?" His was, of course, a bit wary of the stranger, or what seemed like one. Even if they had known each other, who was she exactly?
