((Upper arm area. Guess I should have said that in the post, >> <<))
Estrik gave a pat on Rei's back as she hugged him, as if it wasn't expected or something similar to being surprised. "Don't eat the red snow, huh?" Estrik said with a smirk decorating his face. Kensei and the souls full of usually useless observations came in handy sometimes, this being one of those rare occasions in which all that could come out was the quick crack of the joke.
"Well, I guess it is Christmas. Must have slipped my mind," Estrik said, "I guess it's going pretty good." He dug his hands into the pockets of his jeans almost as if to avoid the cold, but that theory was a bit on the non-based side as it wasn't cold in the party area at the moment.
Brandon fell down into the snow. The white powder went all over his face and clothes, in his mouth and up his nose. He got up and brushed off the frozen precipitation from his body. His shirt was drenched from the cold snow that had been quick enough to melt on his clothes. Brandon hugged himself to keep warm, shivering and chattering his teeth. "W-w-w-where d-did y-you g-g-g-go, Mister M-m-mister?" Brandon said through his frozen jaw with the cold turning his voice into a stutter through his teeth. The heavy crunch of his sneakers on snow filled the frigid air as he looked around for Dimor, but to no avail. Brandon shrugged and stayed where he was as if a watchman for the escaped fugitive that was the half-drow.

Jatza walked in, eyes sparkling, and she had someone behind her, who seemed to be sulking. Was it . . . Yes! It was! Dae had finally come out of hiding. Jazz spotted Estrik and rushed over to him. "Merry Christmas Estrik! Dae's a little upset right now, but she'll cheer up eventually." She exchanged a knowing glance with Dae, as she knew all about 'the incident' as Dae insisted they call it.
Dae was very careful not to think about it as she knew there were mind-readers present. She had a present for someone, as did Jatza, but neither of them knew their recievers very well, or at all.

Rhyme grinned slightly evilly as he walked back toward Rei. It would be interesting to see how long it would take the new kid to figure out the box. It was very simple really if you knew about the simple notes of music. “That is really nice Rei.” he said as he came back, looking at the tattoo. “What does it do?” ((Kinda brain dead at the moment ))

Rei's eyes flickered over to the new design decorating her upper arm before she smiled at Rhyme. "Well, Estrik says that when I use it I'll be able to see with my mind, and sense other active minds around me." Pausing for a moment to make sure she explained it correctly, Rei traced the raw markings with her fingertips; gentle so as not to aggravate it. "What have you gotten for Christmas?" The Shapeshifting Bard wasn't really comfortable receiving presents, so Estrik's one was about all she needed to be happy. Any more and she wouldn't know how to be comfortable about taking them.
Dimor stood, arms still crossed, back still leaning against the tree somewhere away from Brandon. The only reason he hadn't simply left this accursed 'party' was because he had come to understand that he was to receive something as well. Normally he wouldn't have bothered even for that, but the Drow had decided that there was always a chance for things to be useful.

"Depressed 'bout what? Don't tell me she has become the 'emo'," Estrik said, adding in air quotes, "Because if so I might just have to do some super psychology with the 'mind-raping' as the process has been called," he said, adding in a bit more air-quotes. Being able to read minds sure was a nifty trick. "I think it has been proven quite effective," he stated. "Even if the results were purely coincidental," Estrik mumbled lightly under his breath. "Hold up a moment," Estrik said as he walked up to the DJ stand. He put in a request for Rock the Casbah and hoped it would start up soon.

If Darishan ever showed up, his gift would contain a pair of goggles that allow the wearer to see souls, unobstructed by soulless objects in the way. ((xD Just had to say so in case he checked in.))

Music is for everyone. Enjoyed by women & men both. Even exuberently by Kings & Queens
Here is your present. To open the box just sing the one thing left out. Good Bye, Rhyme
Sing the one thing left out. How do you sing something that's left out? Sing them as a word? No, can't be. It had to be something deeper than that. Music is for everyone. Women and men both already mean everyone, but why the Kings and Queens? Chrynos finally noticed something in the riddle. The '&' sign. It ruined the visual effect of the poem, making it look less professional. It had to mean something. It was obvious that this Rhyme was no simple riddle guy. He seemed to be good at it. So why put an '&' and make it look less professional than it should be? & meant 'and'. Does that make any meaning here?
Sing. Sing. Sing. What could that word mean? Should he bs singing a word? A line? A note? A sta-... A note? A note! Chrynos' eyes widened as he looked at the top three lines of the riddle once more. Exuberently was not just there to make it look more professional, no, Chrynos realised that. It was meant to use up a few letters! In his head, he started to recall the notes of music. There was G, D, A, C, F. and many more that Chrynos could not remember. He was no music student and only learnt the music notes because of one of the ninjas he had worked with once, who used music to create illusions. He looked at the riddle once more, then suddenly remembered his theory about the '&''s significance. And. There was a letter A there. Was he supposed to sing the A note? Looking at the riddle, he realised that there was a G, a D, a C and a F. The only thing missing was an A and simply because it had bene replaced by '&'.
Smiling as he thought he found the riddle and ignoring the man who had sat on the same table by him, he took a deep breathe, before closing his eyes as he simply hummed what he remembered to be the A note.The box seemed to hum with him with the same note before it popped open, revealing an item within.
Charm of Darkness A braid of 3 intertwining bars of music with notes slightly sparkly to the wearer but invisible to all others with a black dragon scale in the very center of the bands. This bracelet will give the wearer the enhanced abilities of stealth and lets them turn completely invisible within the shadows or night, even if they are in the middle of an open field. This does not eliminate sound however. This Charm will also give a moderate boost to darkness or death based magics and abilities and defense to them as well.
Lock Box of Music Simple wooden box with music notes brunt on it. This box will only open if the user sings “A.”

Dae shot Jazz a warning glance that clearly said, 'Too much information.' She just shook her head at Dae and sighed. "I promised I wouldn't tell. She hasn't gone emo, just a little upset about 'the incident' about which I'm not supposed to say anything. And I'll be right back."
She headed towards Rhyme, and smiled at him. "Hello, Rhyme. Here's your gift."
**RHYME HAS RECIEVED 'MICROPHONES OF MANY MILES'**
Microphones of Many Miles The user will give one of the two microphones to his or her favorite person and they will be able to communicate clearly from any distance.

Rhyme smiled at Dae as he took the gift.
“Thank you, and have a very Happy Holidays!” he said to her.
He then turned in time to here the mental rape comment, which made him laugh.
“Wouldn’t that be classified as assault on a student during a school function? Which, could result in the temporary locking of powers. Odd though, that they don't’ care if we fight outside of classes or events...but they care when we do it with them around. Very odd, very hypocritical.”
As he spoke he slipped on of the headphones into Rei’s hand, since she would defiantly be the person who he would want to talk to at any distance. (lol)

Estrik shrugged, "Ignorance is bliss, as they say. And I never said that I would do it now, though. That's what dark alleyways are for!" he said a bit maniacally insane.
Brandon ran back into the main party area as soon as Joe Strummer's voice was heard. "Oh my gosh! I love The Clash!" he said as he jumped upon the stage, headbanging and air-guitaring. Brandon began to lip-sync the song with over exaggerated movements.
((Meh, sorry for the shortness. Brain-dead, D:))

Rei's eyes lit up and she felt that awkward feeling one gets when they don't know how to thank someone for a present they weren't expecting. All she could do was smile at Rhyme, embarrassment tinging her pale cheeks just the slightest shade of pink. "Thank you." Rei said quetly. She slipped the microphone through her belt at her side where it would be safe but not in the way. Completely ignorant in the art of accepting gifts, Rei's eyes wandered around the party. She noticed something that made her skin tingle with anxiety; that man... with the white skin and black attire... and those blank white eyes... wasn't he there helping Damon the last time they 'met'? Breathing slowly to calm down, Rei passed over the man without a second glance; if he tried anything, he was far too outnumbered to get very far. Then she noticed the music, a song she'd never heard before. 'What are they saying? Lock the... cashbox?...Stop the cat box?' Rei didn't like it when she didn't know what a song was about.
The shadows at Dimor's feet writhed and jerked about as his impatience grew. His harsh eyes stabbed at one person, and then moved on to another. Parties; the needed to go kill themselves.
