Did I Really Just End Up At A Castle?
'Seriously... Did I just really end up at a castle in the middle of the bloody clouds?'
Obviously not in the mood for any sort of small talk, Hoefian - or Hoef - scaled the steps of the majestic architecture. He had not, once, noticed he was wearing some formal wear. But until he reached the top of the steps he found himself fingering his clothing. He then realized he was wearing something formal and to put the icing on the cake, he was wearing a mask that he was not familiar with.
'Seriously people... I was enjoying some bloody Doritos! Where the hell am I!?'
That... Was the least of his troubles... Because a pixie, a fairy, a sprite, or whatever the hell it was announced his presence to the whole damn party. The feminine voice boomed with general excitement, "The Onion has arrive! Hoef is here!" Hoef shrunk his shoulders down to avoid being seen. He would scoot along as though that whole sequence was simply a dream to forget. Hoef was not, necessarily, in the mood for a party. But since he was here, and it seems like he was going to be here for a while, he might as well make the best of it.
'I seriously made up that name as a joke... But whatever floats their boat I guess...'
Silent he was. He simply didn't like the whole masquerade scene with all these people. Matter of fact, who were these people? Hoef wanted to know who these people were, but seeing as they were all wearing masks made it kind of hard to distinguish faces. He would have to rely on voices, body-language, and the like in order to successfully distinguish people. And what made it even worse was the fact that he was alone. Serah. He surely missed her presence. Only more so that she was occupied with other things. She was going to be his Mrs. in the coming years, and so it would feel right that they could cherish the time of teenage freedom. True love it was.
Hoef sighed as those thoughts came with the sense of loneliness. He would - eventually - hang out near the entrance - without a second thought - watching the other invitees pour in every now and again.
