New Year's Eve Masquerade! For Tuesday

Octavius believed hiring someone to organise an event for him meant they would actually organise an event for him. Unfortunately, that notion proved to be a false one when the organiser left him high and dry in the middle of the month, but Octavius persevered. With the help of himself, Mira, occasionally Lottie Sweeting, and an army of lackeys, the night of the masquerade had come together as beautifully as possible.

Lottie had, for once, actually done her job, and at either entrance of the grand foyer were attendants handing out beautifully crafted half-masks to party-goers, and collecting them as people left. The ballroom was majestic and shimmering, the music was softly thrumming, the drinks were pouring, and the mood was infectious. All in all, Octavius thought, it was a satisfactory night to end a rather satisfactory year. After the chaos and excitement that had chased him all throughout 1983, he was rather happy to have had a (comparably) quiet year.

"Can you make sure Miss Warbeck is ready to begin?" he murmured to an attendant nearby who then scurried off. The Wizarding Wireless Network had, after all, promised a wonderful surprise at midnight! Octavius needed to ensure everything went perfectly.

The flash of a nearby photographer made Octavius scowl, annoyed was he at even the few press witches and wizards who had paid handsomely to be at the charity event tonight. The publicity was good, no one could deny that, and the masks concealed everyone's identity at least marginally so there was no grievous intrusion on privacy, but that didn't mean Octavius enjoyed their presence.

He rolled up the sleeve of his dress robe to check his watch, then his eyes darted back to the stage. It was five minutes to midnight! What, for heaven's sake, was Celestina Warbeck taking so long to appear onto an already dressed stage? Shaking his head agitatedly, Octavius cut through a path through the brightly coloured bodies in the mingling crowd to check on his star performer.

OOC Read this for questions, or ask me! Fluid time, so feel free to thread before/after kisses. Again, the "compulsion" to find your kissing partner kicks in 5-10 minutes before midnight and could be anything from thinking you should walk and get some punch to being mystifyingly sexually attracted to the masked stranger at your side. HAVE FUN! GO WILD ♥ AND HAPPY NEW YEAR'S MY GORGEOUS GALS.

How Jeremiah got to this moment was still a mystery. Though is was not at all complaining about the fact that it was midnight, he had a beautiful witch in his arms and she just so happened to be a brilliant snog. This was how you started a new year out right. It was just what he needed to get him out of the ridiculous funk he had been in.

Just two hours ago he'd been considering leaving, Miles was preoccupied with his date. He had never manned up enough to ask Billie to come after their chat at the Arrows party. He thought he was doomed to spend the New Year on his own until he spotted the amazing brunette from across the room just before midnight. She called to him, and all he knew was that if he didn't go over and do something immediately, he might just implode.

Miles would have been impressed had he seen how direct he was. Walking straight over to the witch and telling her quite plainly that he planned to make this be best New Year's to date. For both of them.

"See? Happy New Year." He said pulling back from her lips just enough to speak.

Happy New Year indeed. Odette opened her eyes slightly, watching this masked master snogger through her lashes. How had she known this tall, dark, and handsome wizard in her arms would be an excellent midnight snog? Well, that was a foggy mystery, one that simply could not be solved at this current time, but nonetheless she was thoroughly pleased with herself that she'd had the foresight to flag him down.

Had she been looking for him all night? Perhaps... earlier, there had been a time in which Odette distinctly remembered laughing a lot with her teammates. But then, suddenly Axe had departed and Charlie wandered off, so she had... thought it was time to... what had she thought it was time to do?

She couldn't remember. It wasn't important. What was important was how quickly she could get his hands back to her skin.

Without as much as responding to him (there really was no need for words), Odette threw more of her weight into him. She clutched the sides of his face below his ears, her mask bumping with his as she pressed her mouth back to his lips. How long had it been since she experienced a unfamiliar kiss like this? One of her hands released his face to travel down underneath the inside of his collar.

With her hands on his face, then trailing down his collar the only thing he could think of was getting her closer. He hooked his arm around her waist lifting her off the ground.

Wrapping his free hand in her hair he pulled her close, Jeremiah wasn't sure if he could pull her any closer but he sure as hell was going to try. "Amazing." He murmured into her mouth, walking her back into the wall. "Let's--"

It was hard for him to think straight, let alone string together a sentence. He was certain though that with the way this snog was going, he didn't want to continue to stand in the middle of a crowd of people. "Do you--Would you like to---" Jeremiah shifted her weight from one arm to his other. "--take this somewhere else?" He finally managed between the fervent kissing.
