“One more thing... there. I’m ready.”
The sink was turned on and the water temporarily ran black as face paint was washed off Aidan’s narrow fingers. The sink counter was a mess, makeup tubes and various brushes, powders, and other utensils strewn about. But, the Hollow’s Eve costume was a success. When October had crept up on her, her new friends and other students at school started talking about a Halloween. Back in Kilkenny Hollow’s Eve was a very solemn occasion, not a time for kids to dress up and wreak havoc. But Aidan listened to Cain and the others fill her in on exactly what went on, and delighted in the idea. At first her mother had strongly shunned the idea of dressing up and begging for candy. Her father had simply shrugged and said that if that’s what it took for his daughter to make some more friends, then so be it. Mrs. Madadh had been furious, and only a promise of a strict regime of cleaning and werewolf study made her buckle down. When Aidan learned that only little kids did the trick or treating, she was slightly disappointed, but lightened up when she was invited to Cain’s party. But the only thing was... what would she dress up as?
A store bought costume was out of the question. She wanted it to be incredibly original. So no angels, cats, ghosts, or anything else that was shown in stores. Aidan told her mother she wanted to dress as a werewolf, but Mrs. Madadh forbid it, telling her daughter that no one knew about their family secret yet, and she planned to keep it that way. Aidan decided she wouldn’t push her luck, and dismissed the subject. So, then what was she going to be?
Black pants were held up by suspenders, which were over a horizontally striped low cut, tight shirt. Black half-gloves covered her knuckles, and her nails were painted black. Her face was the one thing that stood out the most, however, It had taken her hours, but her whole face was painted a ghostly white. Her lips were bright red. Four pointed stars went over her eyes, and when her eyes were open they gave her a freakish, scarred look. What is she? Oh, but only the scariest creature to ever walk the earth: A mime.
Aidan hopped down the stairs in a pair of her father’s black loafers, her cream-colored skin contrasting the black in the stark light of the kitchen. “I’m going, now, Mum,” she said happily to the woman watching the news off of a small TV. They were still going on about the vicious attacks, though it had settled down immensely. At first her mum had freaked out, babbling on about how she had known it had been a bad idea to be here. Away from her father, Aidan was also interrogated. Mrs. Madadh was afraid that it has been her daughter, but Aidan’s strong words and calming presence made it clear that it had not been her.
“There better be no drinking at that party, Aidan,” warned her mother in a very serious tone. Aidan currently doubted there wouldn’t be, but she had no taste for beer, so she would be alright.
“There won’t be, Mum, I promise,” she said as she headed for the door, stroking a purring Mhaimeo on the way out.
She walked there, trusting her feet more than a bike or car. When she stepped onto the front steps she could clearly hear the booming music from inside. Well, it would be another night to add to all of those that had helped ruined her hearing. Standing on the step she took a deep breath and placed a hand up to her hair, checking to see that no strand was out of place. Nothing, all tucked behind her ears nicely. She looked down and saw that her clothes were neat, and when she dug a mirror out of her pocket it revealed that her makeup was flawless. Well, here goes. Her first Hollow’s Eve party.
She rang the doorbell.[/size]

(XD Pfft...Mime...)
Rose sighed a little and let go of Cain's arm, running back upstairs and to the frotn door. "Got it!" She opened the door and grinned. "Aidan! Glad you could make it!" She stepped aside to let her in. "The party's in the basement."

"So, where's the food?" Eva asked, turning away from the large group of guys that had been asking for pictures. Like she'd let people blackmail her about this.....

“Over here, Eva,” Cain said as he started toward a counter currently hidden by people. “Somewhere.”

Rose hurried back downstairs and pounced on Cain's back, laughing. "So how 'bout those beers?!"

Cain chuckled, going faster. Before stopping dead in front of a bar full of red plastic cups.
“I say, hell yes. And that this gives a whole new meaning to ‘Beauty and the Beast’.”

Jack saw Eva and wedged his way through the crowd, elbowing people when they wouldn’t move. He handed her a plate.
“C’mon before the gap closes.”

Rose giggled and kissed his cheek playfully, keeping her arms latched around his neck. "Anyone got a camera?! Let's save this moment for posterity!"

“Hey, hey,” Cain stuttered, picking up the nearest cup and trying to get a drink, “Haven’t we learned our lessons with pictures of Cain?”

Eva rolled her eyes and followed Jack. "Thanks.... it's hard to push through people while in a dress." she half-smiled

Rose pouted slightly. "Aww...But you're not in tights this time." She snatched the cup and took a sip the handed it back to him.

“Fine. “Cain pouted, taking back his cup and taking a drink before anyone else decided they’d like to have some. “But you owe me.”

“Not a problem.” Jack loaded his plate, pausing every few seconds to nibble on something.

Rose grinned and licked his cheek. "Yay!" She rested her chin on his shoulder. "Just name it."

Cain laughed.
“I would so not tell me that…” He replied, taking another long drink, before adding. “I wouldn’t lick me either, unless you like the taste of random make-up I found in Tala’s room.”

Rose wrinkled her nose and wiped her tounge with her forearm. "Yuck..." She grabbed his beer again and drank down the rest. "Better." She slid the empty cup back into his hand. "You know, you have a very comfy back with all the fur."

"Mmhmm." Eva piled her plate up before retreating back to where Cain and Rose were
