(( okay! ))
"Hopefully we won't, it's actually warm in here" She tossed the now empty cup on the side, and looked out the door at the snowy weather

Burps a tiny dragon burp as the food he ate earlier is finally talking back and a small ball of flame shoot from his snout

The Duchess looks up from sipping her cocoa and furrows her brow at Tabetha. "Should I even ask?"

The Gentleman wanted to, out of curiosity, but thinks better of it and turns to his cocoa and resigns to silence. Properiety, propriety.

"No," Tabetha said, with a complete, deadpan change in her voice. "You don't wanna ask."

If corporate work tended to be one where you had _no_ standard shifts, vigilante work was even more of a wild card where you never knew when (or if) you were getting free time. When she had received the invitation to the masquerade event, Cris had hoped she could world-hop shortly after leaving office, but he "second life" had forced her to reconsider her plans.

So when she finally arrived at the Masquerade, checking her kimono and mask to make sure she didn't look _too_ scruffly and not suggest she had been fighting with a gangster's cronies until _real_ recent, the fox-like vigilante drew a breath of relief.

"Let's see what they have in store this year", she mused, making her way among the people who were already enjoying the party, and looking around with curiosity as she did so.

"Very well," nodded the Duchess. "I will not ask. But I will ask the group -- what is the wildest thing that happened to you this year?"

"Wellll on that note, I think I need to head home." Mimi said, with a very slight frown. "Dumb parents, dumb homework, all that! But this was great!" Turning to the Duchess, she said, "Thank you so much for having me!" Then, to everyone else, "And thank you all for bringing life to this party!" She beamed brightly before getting up from her seat, gently depositing Mini Might in the pre-warmed chair. "Okay if I take my cocoa with me?" She asked, holding up the mostly full mug.

Tabetha was staring openly at the newcomer. At first, she looked... almost offended at the vigilante's arrival... but this was quickly resolved. "Oh... my... GOD! If it isn't the legendary Light Raygun!"
