Becky chuckles "Long Island Iced Tea- made with the good stuff." she takes a drink of her own and blinks a couple times. "Mind you this is just as bad, with more sugar. I'm going to just hang out down here because if I stand up I'm just going to spill my drink."
Ereshkigal lays a hand on Lysandor's back and laughs openly at Valentine's statement.
"No, Ambassador Le Noir. I did learn my lesson thanks to you. This was solely the result of my " She rises easily to her feet and offers a hand each to Ciel and Lysandor.
"I suppose that is the end of our little adventure, dears. We should do this again soon. With out the interruption, of course."

Lishia moves to the bar mixes a nice screwdriver and wanders in the direction of the couch as Arianna wanders off to explore her new surroundings "don't get into trouble dear" lishia says knowing full well its inevitable
she watches the scene unfolding before her intently.

Karen stays looking at Nyxereos, wanting him to say something. Anything. She knows all too well how it is to loathe oneself. She smiled at Arianna and then swept her eyes back to Nyx.
Ciel took Erishkegal's hand and stood. "A friend of yours, my love?"

His skin is hard and cold yet smooth and silky to Karen's touch. His empty eyes look to her and he studies her with his soulless orbs carefully. He blinks and his muscles tense up making his wings rise up a bit catching the soft glow of the light.
He speaks to Karen a bit louder than a whisper. His voice liquid smooth, his tone is as soothing as it is low. "You are surrounded by and cater to these creatures of the underworld." His eyes drift to them all as he pans his head only to snap back to Karen. "You are in grave danger whether you realize that fact or not." His silvery lips move ever so slightly to make the words slip effortlessly off the sharp tip of his black tongue. His white eyebrows lift to show a faint expression of fact in his black eyes.

She whispers back, in the same volume as his. "I cater to these creatures and be around them because I want to. I know who I am and what I am and know that no matter what happens here, they cannot truly change that. They are, for the most part, like you. Beautiful and cold. Dark and mysterious. I am around them because I know that I am safe, unlike you."
She tilts her head up and puts a hand to his pretty face and caresses the mark left by Regent. "The only danger here, is the one who cannot let himself believe that he is here for a good reason. And the only person here in that gravity of danger is you."
She tipped up on her toes to softly kiss Nyx's cheek and let her hand slide off of his face. She turned from him and went to walk away. as she was going she turned her head. " It would do you well to relax, Nyx."

Becky watches Karen and Nyx. She chuckles darkly and sits up slowly carefully testing to make sure it's safe for her to actually stand up. She gets to her feet and sets her drink down someplace safe.
"And on that note. I challenge you to a game of air hockey, Mr. Far-too-serious-for-his-own-good Nyxereos. And I'll wager a favor from Her Wicked Majesty if I lose... if I win..." She pauses and grins looking exactly like Ereshkigal when she's up to something- evil.
"What do you say? Brave enough for a game?"
Ere looks over at Ciel,
"You could say that. Ciel Trakand, Lysandor of the Eilte. Meet Ambassor Valentine Le'Noir who taught me to how to read and my manners." She glances at the building and frowns.
"I have a feeling that things could be getting interesting inside..."

Jess's flirtacious air dissapates, and her smile is now one of understanding and compassion. She tilts her head at him, a considering look in her eye. She speaks in a low voice as well.
"You know, you're a lot like how Lyssie used to be, when he woke up in Hell for the first time and realized that he would never fly again. The two of you have a lot in common, if the way to Hell was paved with different stones and intentions." Her smile falters for a moment and she lets the silvery Fallen see just how much she can sympathize with his current predicament. "Heaven and Hell are just names, Nyx, nothing more. You can remake Hell into Heaven if only you'd just let go of that damned regret. It will twist and corrupt you more completely than anything Regent, or even Her Royal Wickedness could possibly hope to do." In a blink, Jess is back to her usual smiling, boiyant self. "But, in the meantime, play Becky in air hockey!" She bounces on her toes, nearly dancing in place and giggles. "I want to play the winner!"
Lysandor accepts Ereshkigal's hand and gets to his feet. He bows slightly to Valentine as he is introduced. Slowly, his usual stoic self returns. He glances at the building, a vague frown on his face.
"Alone and unsupervised, one never knows just what kind of mischief my human has gotten herself into, or started up," he says, then glances over at the three other ladies. "Especially when in the same room as the rest of yours."

Regent looks amused at Nyx and his interactions with the humans. He sips his drink and laughs to himself very softly.

Nyxereos looks up to Jess and he nods to her words yet he feels no comfort from them. "Master Lysandor may be fallen yet he has not the faintest glimmer of the torment of that which has become... me."
His empty orbs snap to Becky with wonder in his eyes, "You wish to challege me to a contest of sport? He looks confused for a moment. What could a human possibly do against his superior skills? A wager to boot? He nods as he strides over to the table. "I accept... what are the rules of engagement?"

Becky picks up the puck and flips a switch to turn on the air. She sets the puck down and picks up a mallet tossing it to Nyx without looking.
"It's easy, you hit the puck with the mallet and try to get it into the your opponents goal. First one to seven points wins." As she talks she gestures to each item, even going so far as to tap the puck in demonstration. Unfortunately she taps it out of her reach and has to all but climb on the table to put it back in the center. Still it seems like it's normal for her and she looks up with a grin.
"Ready? I'll let you go first."

The fallen snatches the mallet from the air before him as Becky tosses it at him. He mimics her movements with it on the air table, his silvery skin though tarnished still glistens from the arcade lights on the table, and he nods slowly. "Understood... and the wager?" he says as his long thick fingers drift the mallet across the table in front of him. His reach spans nearly to the centerline of the table as he becomes familiar with the drift of the mallet on the table. His wings tighten as he places the puck on the air and watches it hover and drift slightly as he ponders the trajectory of the vectors required to get the puck into the little goal opposite him before Becky.

"Smart man. I didn't say what I wanted if I won did I. Well then..."
She looks thoughtful for a long moment then chuckles to herself. "If I win. The you'll do me a small favor- to be granted before the end of this party to a person of my choosing. Harmless really." She shrugs
"If I lose you gain a boon from Ereshkigal, I can guarantee she'll do it. Still want to play? Or are you going to stall a bit longer, Nyx?" One hand curls around the edge of the table and she taps her foot eager to play.

He stands like the stone of a monument for a brief moment pondering the wager. "I accept your terms..." he says with a twisted smirk and smacks the little puck very hard with the mallet. The red little disk spins wildly and it warbles with blinding speed on the table and bounces hard off the side rail and goes airborne. It whistles past Becky's ear and clatters onto the floor 10 ft behind her. Nyx looks a bit confused but unshaken.

Becky dodges the flying puck and then goes and gets it shaking her head and laughing.
"It's a good thing I'm not totally sober or that would have been alot scarier." she remarks putting the puck down in front of her own goal.
"However it's now my turn." She taps the puck hard enough to send it spinning across the table in at an angle so that it bounces off the side and slides toward his goal.

"I'd prefer not to claim that half mad little mortal as mine." Valentine sighs. "It would be better if I did not come in with the three of you. So if you will excuse me." She curtsies again and removes herself quickly around the corner. Once she's safely out of earshot of the other demons she allows herself a small chuckle.
"Same old foxling. Always making mischief." Then she moves through the front door quietly into the chaos of the party.

Thane sneers at Nyxereos and he folds his hands over his chest in a huff. He moves over to Regent and stands tall next to him.
Karl moves over to the tiki-bar and extends his hand to Lishia. "It is good to meet you... Lisha is it?" he says with a grin.

Nyxereos watches the little puck head his way and with a jerky jab he sends the puck back from wince it came and it sputters into the goal. the table dings and the puck is returned to Becky. The score board chimes a point for Nyxereos. He smirks briefly and then he frowns slightly with a furrowed brow, "Is that what it is supposed to do?" he says standing tall.

Becky nods having missed blocking his shot by only a hair. "That's exactly how it goes." She sticks out her tongue at him and grins as she sets the puck in front of her goal. She hits it hard sending it sliding rapidly across the table at Nyx.

Jess shakes her head at Nyx's reply, a small, half-smile playing on her lips, but says nothing in reply. She contents herself in watching the game, her eyes widening when the puck goes flying, and she steps back a few more feet.

Nyxereos rallies his mallet but non effectively as before as the little puck banks off the side of his mallet and then the railing back toward Becky.
