Nassii nodded along to show his interest in the conversation. He sipped the tea sparingly, savoring its steam as much as the taste and smell. "Then I shall have to salute you both." He chimed in again. "For both the tea and the theater itself are thoroughly enjoyable."

"Thank you, Mr....?" Annette voice drifted as she searched around for a name. As she recalled, however, she hadn't formally been introduced to either of her guests.

Moon;

"I might, let me check.", the male smiled before moving towards the back room. After a few moments and loud noises, Hatter came back out grinning. His shoulders and hat covered in dust.

"It was high up, but I got it~.", he chuckled, lightly dusting himself off before working on the miss's tea. Once finished he laid it in front of her.

"Enjoy~. ♡", Hatter hummed, pouring the hot water over the tea leaves and such. "Please be careful, it is hot.", he added in.

Afanassii;

"All credit should go to mademoiselle Annette, she thought of it all. I was just honored enough to be invited and serve tea here.", Hatter smiled, glancing to the blond female.

Annette;

Hearing her complements and like for the tea had the Hatter grinning madly. Bowing lightly to Annette, the hatted male chuckled;

"I am pleased to hear so. I would of never guessed you liked pumpkin spice, yet it seems oblivious you would.", he hummed, giving a light wink to the miss.

Standing up once again, Hatter placed his hat back onto his locks. Dust flying in the air for a second, disturbed by his movements. Making a face, Hatter held the urge to sneeze in. Instead turning his attention back to Annette.

"And I am fine, thank you for asking. Quite glad the event has finally started.", he gave a low chuckle, "How are you enjoying the event?".

The redhead put down his now empty cup and faced Annette. "Oh, I'm sorry. Afanassii is my name, actually."

Whim lightly stepped into the theater, smiling as she looked up at the Hatter's strange and familiar face. "Hello Monsieur." She sung as she eyed the theater. "Lovely place this is..." She whispered as her thoughts trailed off and onto the strange woman. "Phantom?" She asked curiously looking in shock at a fellow member she had seen from who knows how long ago.

Monsieur Hatter : ||
"Yes.." She nodded slowly, pausing to take a small sip of her tea, "..Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays, so any opportunity to celebrate it is one I'll take."

She smiled at the man, then stood and drifted a bit closer to him, "You know, Monsieur, I believe we said we'd discuss that roleplay..? Perhaps we could do so now?" Her eyes had a kind of mischievous glint as she said these things. There were few things Annette loved more than a good roleplay.


Afanassii : ||
Annette looked over at their male guest, smiled, and gave a small curtsy, "A pleasure, Mr. Afanassii. Please call me Annette."


Whimsical Sadist : ||
Another guest entered the room. Annette noted her seeming familiarity with the Hatter and would have left it to Monsieur to introduce the woman to her were it not for the fact that...they were apparently already acquainted.

Annette raised a brow, taken aback when the stranger called her by her nickname, "Oh...Have we met?"

Annette;

"Is that so? I will have to remember that.", he smiled, pleased to hear she enjoyed not only the tea but Halloween. The holiday being one of the hatter's favorites as well.

Seeing her drift closer, he let out a small chuckle. Amused by how mischievous and sly she can be when wanting to be. Nodding his head, he let a small smirk form on his lips. Simply stating;

"Yes. We did.", bringing a hand to lightly twirl a curl of gold, Hatter's smirk widen.

"So, what would you like to discuss? Are we still up for the undertaker and nun plot?", he asked, letting his hand drop. Afraid the action might make Annette nervous and, or uncomfortable. Hatter just could not help himself, he just had to play with one, once.

Mademoiselle Whim;

Spotting the familiar face, the hatted male smiled wide. Noticing she seemed to know the owner of the theater, he grinned slyly. Curiosity burning in his eyes.

"You mademoiselles know each other?", he asked lightly, wondering if he was just assuming.

Annette nodded, only slightly caught off-guard when the Hatter touched her hair. He'd done so on other occasions, but had apparently picked up on her uneasiness at being touched without prior invitation--he dropped his hand almost immediately.

"Yes, the undertaker/nun plot was my favorite. I believe we said that we would create our characters as we go (or, that I would at least--it sounded as though you already had one in mind). That is were the conversation ended, however."

Annette often wondered if the Hatter's flirting was simply reflexive or if, perhaps, it was more meaningful. It wasn't as though the two of them had known each other long enough to develop true affection for one another (as friends or otherwise), but it was a point of slight confusion, nonetheless..

Hatter smiled as it seemed Annette did not seem as bothered by his actions as she had before. This simple thing made the mad fool very happy. The miss was interesting, which made the hatted male like a moth to a flame; she being the flame.

"Yes, I remember. As for character, no, I do not have one in mind. So I also plan to make it on the way.", he smiled, "Then, what else should we discuss? Should think of some twists and other related items for the plot?".

"Yes, plot twists would be lovely.." Annette practically purred. Twisty plots were the only plots worth roleplaying, after all, "..perhaps we should also discuss the setting, and other, more mundane aspects?"

"Twisty plots, you say?" Afanassii sipped a new cup of tea quietly. "Do Tell..?"

@Phantom: Whim pondered for a moment then answered the woman. "I believe so. A long time ago," Her voice got quieter as she tried to remember. "It's fine if you can't remember because it seems I have forgotten as well." She laughed shaking her head as the thought slipped. "Well it's always fun to introduce oneself, even if it isn't the first time." She smiled looking around the room.

@Monsieur: "Seems we did. Some point of time that has strangely slipped my mind..." Whim smiled as she sat down in a chair.

"Oh," Her eyes looked up. "Mr. Nass, it is great to see you." She widely grinned staring at her old friend. "How are you?" She asked offering a seat next to her.

Nassii raised his cup in cheers to Sadist. "Hello to you, once more! I am fine. Enjoying the Halloween event, How about you?"

Afanassii : ||
"Yes," Annette nodded slowly, only just realizing that the other guests may have overheard her, "..Monsieur and I were plotting a roleplay we've been meaning to start for days now. I was intended to be a one-on-one, but I don't see any reason why it could be a small group roleplay instead, if you are interested.." She offered a smile, turning slightly away from the Hatter so as to include the guests in their conversation.

Whimsical Sadist : || "Perhaps we were once roleplaying partners..?" Annette mused, stirred her tea absentmindedly, "I was far more active on this site once upon a time, you know. It's entirely possible."

Seeing that Afanssiii took into their chat, the hatted male grinned;

"Yes, like mademoiselle Annette said, we are planning a roleplay. I have quite the plot twist if you decide to play with us, if you would like.", he hummed lightly, eyes closing and curving as his smile reached them.

"It is like the one we are playing, the nun and undertaker one.", Hatter added in, so Nassii would know what the plot is of.

Whimsical;

"I see..Well, this calls for even more of a party! It is always joyful to be reacquainted with people. Ones as lovely as you two, that is.", Hatter chimed with a smile.

oh, nice.
like dinner and a show.

Spotting the new miss, Hatter grinned;

"Exactly.", he spoke.

Sitting up from his spot, the hatted male made his way to the new quest.

"Bonjour quest, would you like to join us in some tea?", he asked, his gloved hand gesturing to the tables.

"I may do just that..." Afanassii replied with earnest interest, sipping at a cup of tea once again. "But, I would like to hear more of the story idea first."

i'l love some sleepytime tea, merci.

@Nass: Whim smiled as she raised her cup as well. "I'm terrific, also enjoying this joyous event." She laughed.

@Phantom: Whim placed her cup down and sipped quietly. "Possibly, I'm really not sure. Even if I had or hadn't I still would love to introduce or reintroduce myself." She smiled. "Hello Phantom it is wonderful to meet you." Whim stood and kindly bowed.

@Monsieur: Raising her head Whim blushed slightly. "Of course Hatter," She cheered. "The more the merrier!" She happily smiled.

still need five candies.

Afanassii/Monsieur Hatter : ||
"We haven't quite hammered out the details yet, so perhaps you could offer some input?" Annette offered, smiling at Afanassii and toying with her teacup. She glanced over at the Hatter, "Did you have any twists in mind or shall we come up with a few now, Monsieur?"

marnie : ||
Annette smiled at the newest arrival, but again the Hatter had gotten to the guest first. She would greet her directly in a little while, after the Hatter was finished being an excellent host..

Whimsical Sadist : ||
"Please call me Annette," she replied, smiling at Whim and nodding, "..it's a pleasure to meet you again. Perhaps you would also like to join our roleplay?"

The redhead paused, considering her words. "Well, what do you have just yet?"

"Of course, Annette." Whim smiled. "Roleplay? May I ask what it is about?" She eagerly replied.

Afanassii;

"Like Annette said, we do not have much planned out. Other than just the original plot posted.", Hatter smiled, "But now with more people, we need to switch that around as well.". He spoke, bringing a gloved hand to his chin as he pondered.

Whimsical;

"Exactly!", Hatter chimed, chuckling.

marnie;

"How about a 'Sleepytime Vanilla Herbal Tea'?", Hatter asked, holding out the tea bag so the miss could see the product.

Annette;

"I have one, I think, if we have these two join us.", Hatter smiled, moving his gloved hand in the direction of Nassii and Whimsical.

"It is a love square, if you will.", he chuckled, "Their characters can have feelings for one of ours, or something of the sort, where this whole big love square happens. With some forbidden love in there, it makes the story very tense and will lead to black mailing and other lovely things.".

"But that is all I have for the moment, since I am still pondering on it. What do you think? Do you have any ideas, Annette?"", Hatter asked, curious as well as anxious to hear what she might have in mind.
