— roman felt like he thrived at parties. while he genuinely wasn’t the most talkative person outside of this sort of environment, he felt like he could charm his way around everyone while at a ball or formal event. it was the only way he really knew how to act at parties. to be genuinely himself would’ve made him look painfully dull and unapproachable; he had to be this way. guess that was where he found himself gathered around the awkward people at the punch bowl, working his way into making some sort of friends with these people.

though, one glance, one moment of locking eyes with frank, and he was hooked. it didn’t seem like frank would need to go get rome to drag him over, because after waiting a moment he then made his way over towards the small group frank stood with. he didn’t want to be that couple - his biggest fear was becoming “that” couple. the kind where people couldn’t see one without the other. but, hey, sue him; he couldn’t help it.

“hey,” he greeted as he stopped at frank’s side, eyes glancing at the two beside frank. familiar faces, but he couldn’t quite place any names. “name’s roman. and you guys are...?”

//this is so shit but
outfit because the boy is a bitch that hates the cold

[MILO.]

[align=center][div style="width: 500px; text-align: justify; color: #494949; letter-spacing: 0.2px; word-spacing: 1px; margin-top: 10px;"]milo didn't think it was possible someone could look half as uncomfortable as he , but brendan was living proof with bunched up shoulders and a flushed face.

of course milo , out of all people in this room , has to be the empathetic person. of course , but making it awkward , he is forced to face the consequences. his face is the color of cranberries and he shifts uncomfortably as he watches brendan determine the situation all his own. maybe he should take it back— yeah , that sounds like a good idea , doesn't it ? his mouth gapes open , to vigorously take back his question ( or much more of a rather awkward demand ) . . . but then it closes again ? what if he wants to ? but what if he doesn't ? jesus why does it matter—

i uh—  can’t dance. not exactly a yes , nor was it a no. it could be a subtle no , but if that was a hint to screw off , then milo was oblivious to it. the poor boy was too encompassed in the apprehension of his own thoughts to consider anything but what he thought that brendan thought. it was really hard to explain , not even he understands his own jittering head. he , instead , took this as a maybe. he could either convince brendan that it was worth the shot , although they might embarrass themselves in the process , or brendan might say 'no' and he'd have to reel back , all alone , and find whatever identity he's lost.

[b]"yeah . . ." he begins , canvasing the area around them. [b]"me either , really , but it doesn't look too hard. maybe we can figure it out together or something ?" he tries to shrug it off , play it off as if it isn't a big deal either way. but asking brendan was at least proof that he had the guts to ask someone. in a totally platonic and brotherly way , even.

[I]clever as the devil
and twice as pretty     

[B][I]She is a queen, her soul is royalty

  She took the shot, downing it easily and looking at the two brothers. God she couldn't believe that she got bailed on by her own husband. She snickered at the brothers banter, before joining in on it herself [b]"Oh Alfie I understand, but why not me? I haven't met him either. I gotta make sure you're making good choices." she teased with a smile, making sure to stay out of the way of the boys' shoving. Though it seemed that Frank wouldn't have to do much as they were joined by a man who introduced himself as Roman.

Blake glanced between the two before looking at Frank and giving a subtle nod of approval. She then looked back to Roman "I'm Blake, nice to finally meet you" her accent alone made it obvious she wasn't related, though the ginger definitely helped too. Well, biologically related. They sort of had adopted her at this point though, so it's probably for the best that she married into the family. Even if it did mean she had the lovely task of keeping them all alive. From his outfit in contrast with what she wore, it was obvious she had gotten more used to living here than she thought. Though she couldn't exactly not be dressed up after not only telling Brendan to (sort of) dress up but checking to make sure he had.

As the slow song played, she frowned. She didn't usually get to have fun at these events, yet here she was dressed up and pretty and she was 99% sure her husband had either left or was avoiding her. She looked at the three and chewed on her lip before "It's lovely to meet you, Roman, really, but if one of you could be so kind as to slow dance with me so I didn't get dressed up for nothing, I'd greatly appreciate it" she was being a bit dramatic (on purpose) with the invitation to dance but she didn't want to seem sour at all. It was a slow dance after all and she had no idea if any would say yes. Though, she supposed it was really only Alfie that had a choice as she didn't want to break up Frank and Roman when they could be dancing too.

[Sel]

Selena Felix

Hmm, he didn't seem particularly thrilled that she'd stopped him. Eh, he should just be glad she didn't follow him and corner him in the hall. Not that the thought hadn't crossed her mind.

She let him lead her off to the side of the room, chin held high, eyes watching him intently. "Well since it looks as if I won't be getting that promised visit from Hayley, we once more have things to discuss." Whether people agreed or disagreed with their mentality, Sel and Eddie were both like that - thinking that a party would be the perfect time to talk politics. Really! People were happy, they were drunk, two states that would make them much more pliable. But not her - drinking would be irresponsible at best for a pregnant woman.

Personality —
— Sel is a very bold, competitive and stubborn person, with a wild side that is shown frequently as well as flirtatious tendencies. She is easily bored and is always on the lookout for adventure, with a spark of curiosity that she hopes will lead to what she seeks: adventure and romance. She seems to not be a very serious person and would rather have fun than be productive, and failing entertainment she can be quite productive and get quite a bit done. She's loud and lacks discipline. While Sel is irresponsible (and oddly bossy) and wild, she is very family-oriented and loves her family dearly. She is usually a cheerful, friendly person but she definitely has a passion for the weird, dark and creepy. She is somewhat vain and egotistical. She has her secrets and one of them is her intelligence and ability to collect information; most dismiss her as a dumb party girl (or something like that) and that's part of her cover, she has her fair share of sins and has to have a way of hiding them, and because she is a good liar and good actress, she succeeds.
