Katima was at the taller wrestler's back. Katima was not necessarily an introvert, just reserved. But here, where she knew practically no one, you could see that slight nervousness in her eyes. She didn't know whether to take her distance like Gabriel did and try to socialise on her own or keep following Vin like a duckling to its mother.
Looking past the monocle, the vintage suit and the vampiric accent, Vin could spot Jenny, shaking her hand. She still hadn't forgotten what happened with her and Gabriel that time, but for the sake of the team, she was turning a blind eye.
"Hey, Jenny~! We would have loved to get there earlier, but Sonny made us take a detour to stay at another par-... place and eventually ditched us." She counted the last as a rather predictable causality to herself.
And when the girl dressed as nekomimi joined them and took the first step, Vin couldn't help but look her up and down, not out of sass or other intentions not appropriate here, but because she loved her costume and the detail.
"Just like everyone else on the list, I guess," she joked at Alexsandra's rhetorical question.
"But, hey!... That's a good look. Did you do that?"
By now, Gabriel had stayed in the punch bowl and felt like finding a seat to check out Reddit, she had to admit the decor was pretty immersive, though she didn't quite know how she'd act here: should she pretend to be a real slave? No, it's silly..., there's no need to be so immersive..., is there?
She shook her head and then looked at the punch in her glass. This hits hard, she thought bluntly.
As she ponders who to meet here, whether with those she already knew or to have a casual night with someone else, I manage to discern a name: Nashi. The second girl that Retchell confronted in L.A.W, and out of the corner of her eye she could spot the pretty white-haired sailor hinting very discreetly to the aforementioned girl what Gabriel was also pondering at the time.
The blonde could only mumble,
"That's nice," wryly, and swirling the punch around a bit before pouring herself some more and continuing.
"We're just in time for it to get interesting."
