The Zephyr lobby is decorated with festive knicknacks and gewgaws. Holiday pine trees and lines of tinsel cover the walls and a huge stage has been set up with a throne for the inevitable visit of Santa Paws. Guests have started to trickle in, and a small army of wait staff stand ready with all kinds of food and drink. There is a buffet table too, of course, if you can't wait for a waiter.

Euoia wanders in to the lobby, knowing full well that buffet tables are PvP enabled areas. Sie grabs a plate and looks for some simple finger foods to enjoy while waiting for others to join in. Sie is not sure what is going on, but plans to just enjoy hirself along the way.

Leighton is already at the buffet, giving a quick nod to Euoia as she approaches. The dragon girl too is filling her plate before the place is getting too crowded so that she does not have to get physical to get a slider or whatever.

Bleu hops into the room, with a rabbit following close behind. The kangaroo pauses, sniffing the air. Lots of good food, he can smell. "C'mon, Jojo, baby... Let's go hit the buffet."

Mingled with the incoming crowds of people, the white furred rabbit Jojo skips into the decorated hall, wide eyed with it's splendor. It had been so long since he had been to a gathering such as this before! It only made it better that he had found Bleu to accompany him close by. He hops in front of him backwards, death tcock amazing! I really love how Zephyr set the place up, props to them! Yeah, letcock see what they have! Ooohh, I hope therecock something sweet!el and takes the other rabbitcock hand to drag them over!

Keyes, dragged in by richard, his skin mattered with bite marks and his cheeks flushed from what they had been doing just a few moments prier. His eyes took in the scenery with a bit of amazement, but he could feel Zivadin against him, and had a feeling that she wasn't going to let him go even with them being moved. Biting his lip and trying to be somewhat modest he guided the pair of them to a seat to the side. "L-Lets try to not draw too much attention?" He whispered to the skunk, shivering as he would leave his lap open for her as his fingers stroked down her back. His eyes glancing over to Richard as they did. "Are you looking for...bleu again?"

Richard, literally trailing a pair of lobby lovebirds behind himself in the blue goo of his body, slides in to the holiday party. "Yep," he replies to Keyes, "Comms says that he's around here some-" His voice catches as he spots a kind of familiar kangaroo by the rapidly crowding buffet. "There he is!" He slips into the back of the line, but not before planting a kiss on Bleu's cheek. "How've you been? Making some more friends?" He glances over at the rabbit, hoping for an introduction.

Zivadin she takes keyes hand to find the most secluded hidden spot in the room " we should be ok here now what to do with you hmm? you interupted me and made me stop i know" she has him lay down as she sits on his face using her fluffy tail to support his head as she nudges im encouragingly

As guests start to funnel in, a mousy-looking man in a rather tacky looking suit steps up to the microphone on the elaborately decorated stage. And when I say mousey, I mean it literally, of course. He has long whiskers and big, round ears and rather prominent buck teeth.

"Um, hello everyone," he says timidly, "Welcome to the annual Zephyr Holiday Party! We're real glad to see you all here. Just a couple of things as we get started. Please enjoy the buffet, I am sure we have something good for everyone." He clears his throat and continues. "Also, management has asked me to remind you all to clean up after yourselves. We don't want any accidents like last year because of people's... um... fluids, yeah?" He smiles again and beckons offstage. "Finally, I want to introduce a couple of guests. First we have Doctor Elias Thomas, who has recently recieved an award for scientific achievement for his work in the new field of Nanite Technology!"

He leads the polite applause as a distinguished looking, human gentleman takes the stage and gives a half-hearted wave.

Euoia sits down with a nice plate of dim sum, mini-hot dogs in pastry, and other finger foods. Sie slowly eats while making a note to talk to Doctor Elias about his work to learn more and see what applications it may have in the department of nanomagic design. Sie finishes the plate after a bit and gets up to introduce herself to the good doctor when he is available.

Leighton flops down in a chair close to Euoia and picks at the food on her plate. Giving business awards to people is not very Chri- Standarized Holliday-y in her mind. Oh well, surely this part won't last too long.

"Well, there you are," Bleu says to Richard. "You didn't answer my texts, so I thought you were unavailable..." He gestures to the rabbit with him. "Anyway, Rich, this is Jojo, an old friend of mine. Jojo, meet Richard."

Jojo looks over the assortment of freshly prepared items over the table and picks out the sweetest treat he could find! "Mmmm!" A rush of flavors that made him clap his hands! "Oh Bleu, you have to try this one! And this one over here! And-" he stops abruptly once he hears the mic being handled and brings his attention over to the mouse speaker. He can't help bit giggle at the mention of last year's events. He leans over to anyone nearby and mutters, "I wonder what that could have been!" with a mischevious snicker. Once Doctor Elias is mentioned, Jojo holds the treat he's eating in his mouth to free his hands to applaud! He had seen all the amazing stuff Nanite Tech had and was accomplishing and had to admit it was pretty handy to have around. "Congratulations Doctor!" and in a lower voice to the nearby participants, "and they need to give an award to whoever made these creme treats! Yuuum!" The rabbit's ears swivel to Richard and Bleu, and he offers his free paw out in greeting! "Hey there! It's so great to talk to you! I hope you're enjoying yourself here."

Keyes curious gaze looked around the room, catching for the first time what this mysterious Bleu that Richard seemed so infatuated with looked like. Finding a small smile tugging on his lips as he saw the warmth of the two of them as Ziv's hand tugged him away and between the crowds. With only one hand to spare he ended up having to use one of Zivadin's jiggling cheeks to give off the polite 'clapping' sound when the doctor was announced. But that was the last he was able to see before he was tugged down, his body hidden by the tablecloth before their seats as his head became wrapped up in a soft, warm blanket of a tail. His muffled voice silenced in the dripping liquid of her hungry lips. And not wanting to get in trouble for 'leaving a mess', as the rodent had asked. He found himself suckling upon her dripping need, gulping down her essence as his tongue was lapping at her naked desire as the quiet sound of the party fluttered against his ear.
