You both receive a gilded invitation that reads: Please do attend. Karen and Ciel have missed you so and we wish to party with you. Even though our number remains rather small at the moment, the party does not have to die. We can make our own fun! Bring whatever you like - Thane included. ^_~ Have fun and don't get lost boys! We'll be waiting! Costumes are optional, but recommended. The girls will be dressed, no question.
The house is small, yet nicely furnished. Karen is in her full pirate captain's uniform, complete with real turndown boots, a lovely beaten leather tri-corner and red head wrap underneath. Ciel is dressed as a racy wench. They wait patiently for the men and dance around to the Corsairs while they wait.

Invitations in hand, Karl and Thane come strolling down the lane whistling and playing a drum. Karl's costume looks like a late 18th century American Navy Captain complete with cutlass and hat. Thane in human form looks a lot like Captain Jack Sparrow... without the staggers. The hound is playing a pipe rather well, enough to be convincing anyway. They make their way to the door, the music stops and a loud banging begins on the door. Karl shouts, "By name of the new Colonial American Government I demand to speak with the Master of the house. We require provisions and merriment for my... man... and you cannot refuse us by decree of rights of service to your Country during continental war."

Karen and Ciel stop dancing and a slow smile spreads over Karen's face. She nods to Ciel and she shadows into the doorway of the kitchen to wait. Karen smoothes her short navy blue skirt with gold piping on the sides and adjusted her boot with the bootknife in it. She said nothing, but walked to the door and from behind it, opened it for the boys. "Come on in me hearty. But watch yerself. There be piratas about!"

"Avast yea scalawags, we have come for cheer and merriment!" Karl laughs as he enters to give Karen a big hug. Thane stands cautiously by the door. His nose wrinkles as he takes long, hard sniffs into the cottage.

Karen snickers as Karl walks in without looking and Thane does his normal. She giggles and smiles as she lights the cannon and steps back. "We're always glad to have ye fellows!"
Ciel shadows behind Karen to giggle at their little trick. Karen chuckles as in her mind she feels really happy about tricking the boys with this confetti cannon. It looks uber real.

Thane trys to stop Karl but is too late with the puff of smoke and the bright flash. The two stand and blink furiously covered in bits of the confetti and streamers that trail back to the canon. When their vision returns Thane smirks. "I thought I smelled something fishy." he says looking silly covered in the paper explosion. Karl blinks more and smiles "That was unexpected..." he grins more.

Karen and Ciel come out from behind the door and Karen tackles Karl in a huge hug, then almost as she catches herself, regains her composure...sort of. "Wasn't that fun? " She chuckled,"I figured, being a pirate and all, I hada have a cannon, yeah?" Ciel giggles behind a pretty hand.
Karen turns to Ciel and nods. "Wench. Ye're duty, please." Ciel nods , curtsying carefully (for her outfit was very tiny.) and shadowed out. Karen crossed her arms and beckoned the boys into the large party area. "I know it looks real big now, but wait till we fill it with people! C'mon boyos! Let's dance!"
She jogged over to the 5 cd changer (which was also hard to do in such a short skirt and boots) and pressed the play button. She began to dance around, singing the pirate songs at the top of her lungs.

Karl Laughs, "Yeah what a surprise." He hugs Karen back, "I don't think I've ever been blown away at the door like that before." As Karen plays the music Karl starts to dance over to Ciel and bows, "Evenin' My lady." he says to Ciel as he hip checks Karen and laughs more.
Thane looks less than thrilled. Grabbing the streamers and yanking them off him in a perturbed manner as he enters.

Karen chuckles and places a hand on the Ratchet's huge shoulder. "Well, it could've been worse Thane. I could've had Ciel make up the surprise just for you." Ciel bows to Karl and giggles. "Good evening, Master Karl. Would you like a dance?"

Thane says nothing as he walks inside. The look on his face says everything he is feeling about the prank.
Karl doesn't even answer Karen. His smile says it all as he takes her by the hand and twirls her toward the central floor. He assumes the flow of tempura waltz but quicker to keep pace with the roguish tempo of the pirates tune filling the air.

Karen laughs, giggling especially loudly as Karl sweeps her off her true feet and into her dancing shoes. As they dance and dance, Karen's mind let go of all the bad things that had happened and just let the good things stew.
Ciel kept dancing alongside of them and saw Thane still grumping. She shadowed to him and cocked her head to the side. "Master Elite, what is the problem now? We are having fun, are we not?"

Karl is having great fun spinning and whirling with Karen. when one song stops and another begins he changes with the music to a more traditional swing dance style of the Gaelic pirates tune. "Try and keep up!" he says to Karen as the steps get faster and the room whizzes by around them.
Thane nods to Ciel, "I shall never understand humans and their needs for frivolity." Thane grunts shaking his head.

Karen's chuckle can be heard loudly and clearly. She's almost out of breath, but that's half the fun. All she can really do is breathe out "I'll try." as they whirl around the floor. She was having way too much fun.
Ciel smiles at Thane, putting a pretty hand on his monstrous shoulder. "Not every race of beings can handle being so stoic all the time Master Thane. Master Karl and Kitten need a pressure release just as you and I do. This," she gestures to the two dancing, "is theirs. They need to get out all of their problems and just be happy for the briefest of moments. Even beings such as yourself can understand this, am I correct?"

Karl winds down as the music stops. He bows to Karen trying not to fall down from shortness of breath. "Well played my lady."
Thane simply shakes his head no. "Entertainment is one thing..." Thane says with a weird look twisting his mustache and beard around on his rough human features. "Frolicking around like giddy, mindless, imbeciles is another matter entirely."

Ciel's face is one of 'I give up already'. "Master Thane, you just cannot get relaxation through that thick skull of yours. It is a very simple concept. And the fact that our humans can understand and apply it does not make them imbeciles. Rather it makes them much more adept at adaptation that we will ever be. So, I suggest you watch them and learn something for a change instead of being a hard-headed, mean-spirited lump. " She shadows off to put an arm around Karen as she turns to speak to Karl.
Glowing, Karen smiles. "And a good tally ho to you as well Sir. That dance was most enjoyable. Now, refreshments?"

Thane shakes his head slowly and shrugs. "I simply don't want to know..." he says in a huff. "...or care either way." he says to himself as Ciel spirits away.
Karl's face brightens "Oh... what do you have for us gracious pirate?" Karl laughs, "What bounty have ye swindled for us sea dogs to savor?"

"Only the best me hearty." Karen looks to Ciel and winks. Ciel curtseys and shadows out and back with three huge tankards. She hands them each a tankard and sits in the middle of the floor to await further instruction.
Karen smiles and takes a great pull, wiping her mouth when she finished. "Well, go on. Take a taste of genuine pirate Grog, made fresh before ye arrived!"

Thane eagerly takes the tankard and the huge mug is pressed to his lips in a long embrace. When the mug comes down Thane has a grand foamy mustache and a look of satisfaction in his red eyes. "Now that I understand." He says with a grin. Karl takes the great mug in both hands and sniffs the brew for a long moment, "Oh that is something special indeed." and the tankard gos up for a gratifying sip. -Slurp!- "AHHHH... oh yeah... goooood." he says with a grin as he takes a bigger tug.

Karen drinks heartily as well and she finishes the drink with gusto. She gives Ciel the tankard and nods to her to wait for the men to finish.
"That is such good stuff. I love it. Now, what else should we do? We've danced, drank...what's next? Party games?" She chuckled and plopped on the floor. "We could play another goofy party game if ya'll want..."

"Well, First of all, I'll be likin' to have another." Karl says after his tankard is drained dry, "And a game sounds fun, any ideas?" Thane is licking his tankard and you can see his giant tongue through the glass bottom smearing the tasty brew into his large maw. Even in his human form that tongue is out of control. His face is smiling and his beard is covered in frosty suds. " Indeed... more would be great." He says looking somewhat contented.
