July 3rd 23CLE
The Droflum estate was gleaming with bright lights, the house already filling with guests. Kevin's parents had left for Ionia for their 20th anniversary honeymoon. So he did what any teenage-minded person would do, throw a massive party! Though this wasn't your average keg-fest where everyone just came to get hammered. No, this was a bit more of a refined event. Kevin decided that it would be fun for the party to have a theme of sorts. So, after a few days planning, he decided that everyone who showed up with have to wear some sort of mask or anything of the like. A couple of invites were sent out and they were told to invite whoever they wanted. The house was stocked full of food so generously catered by McPiltover's. A bouncer was stationed at the front of the entrance to confiscate any and all weapons.
((The party started at 6:00PM any events that occur in this thread will happen between then and Midnight. A special event is planned for when the clock hits 12:00 AM, so be sure not to miss it. ;D))

Elody wandered up to the Droflum estate, checking the invite dubiously. She was never invited to parties...in fact, she'd found this invitation simply stamped onto a park notice board, and thought it may be interesting. She was clad in a blouse and jeans, nice, but not too close to being a monkeysuit. She'd done her hair up in a bun, and was wearing the mask that the party had mentioned, a simple white one covering her eyes alone.
She was past the bouncer in mere moments, having left Tuyel at home; that probably would've been a hassle. When she got in the midst of the crowd, she looked around; not a single person was recognizable to her. But hey, she may as well meet a few new faces. Who knows? Maybe she'd even find someone connected to Pop's death.

A young man stood at the entrance to such a grand party. Wearing a suit, but not something too fancy. He just wanted to blend in with the crowd, but he didn't want to go overboard with attire. Otherwise he may have been a bit of a giveaway. He didn't want that at all. His hair was black, pitch black, ivy league styled for the occasion. Green eyes scanned the place as he looked at the bouncer at the front.
His mask was something different though. Metal, as the right side covered up most of the cheek. Why? Well, he had his reasons. Using the invitation that was... Uhh... "Given" to him, he had gained easy access to the party as he walked inside. Why was he here exactly? Contracts of course. Man hires him, gives him a contract, kills the contract, gets the money. Simple as that. Except that this was a party. It would be hard for him to go killing in a public area. He would have to be keeping an eye out on the man he's looking for tonight, guy said the person would be here tonight.
He walked through the crowd, and for a second, he thought he saw someone. No... It couldn't be, could it? Perhaps he could find out for himself. He grabbed himself a cup of water. He wouldn't want to risk any staining to his clothing with his next act. He walked through the crowd, nearing Elody. And with an "accidental bump," he almost spilled his cup, but only a few drops managed to escape. "Excuse me." He said softly. Though, in those times that the two had meet, the voice could probably ring a tiny bell, but in all honesty that wasn't planned for the assassin. "Don't want to spill anything on ya, right?" He said, grinning slightly.
Elody turned around as the young man bumped her. "Oh, so sorry. Nothing's touched, don't worry." She patted herself down, making sure she was dry. When she was done with that, she looked back up to the perpetrator with a broad smile. "Hey, cool mask. Where'd you get it?" She leaned backwards slightly, putting one hand on her hip and the other in her pocket.

XenoS nodded slightly as his eyes wandered for only a split second. "That's good to hear." He said before smirking softly. He tapped the mask, giving it a distinct sound of a metallic clinking noise as metal clashed with nail. "This? Friend of mine help me made it. Him and I are pretty close." He said. Though it was only half the truth. Custom yes, but his friend didn't help make. Besides, the only one who probably could was Viktor, and he didn't want to bother him with a menial task." He pointed to her own mask, "Yours isn't bad either if I say so myself."

Razie was in his personal lab sketching up another design for R.U.K.A.N when his mother had walked in and handed him an invitation, apparently Kevin Droflum was throwing a party, and as one of Piltover's popular names Razie felt the need to attend. He showed up in his usual suit and a simple black mask that covered half of his face, giving a smile to anyone who recognized him as he made his way to the closest group of ladies and did what any rich and somewhat famous inventor would do, flirt.
While he was doing this he would keep an eye out for Kevin whenever he decided to make an appearance to give thanks for hosting the party.

Though it was his party, Kevin had not made an appearance just yet. He was stowed away upstairs in his room, still deciding which mask he would wear, he didn't want his first big party to leave a bad lasting impression. When he finally picked out the mask he would wear, a cat themed mask the covered his entire face, he made his way down stairs, finally joining the party. Other than the mask, he didn't dress as fancy as it seemed his guests had, sporting his black jacket as always. The hood however, remained down, revealing his feline ears to any who looked, he thought it would compliment his outfit more if people saw them. He stood at the the base of the stairs, looking around the crowd of people, satisfied with the amount of people that showed up.

Passing through the Ironspike Mountains had been a cubersome task all on its own, but realizing that she lacked the supplies to make the return trip home seemed to dip her mood straight to the bottom. Still, there was no helping it. Kin had decided against wandering into the toxic waste known as Zaun, instead heading straight for Piltover to stock up. Even better, it was the home town of one of her (two) companions and what was more, she had been informed of a party. A 'gathering' held by one of the more wealthy residents from the City of Progress. She wasn't a fan of social gatherings - if anything, she tended to avoid them the best she could but opportunities like this could never come any smoother.
Her arrival into Piltover was quick. Nobody stopped her for papers, and nobody really stopped to ponder about her strange clothing. It was likely there were many travelers who stopped for the night, just as she would have done had she not been told. Kin was already wandering around when the sun had begun to set, getting herself prepared and ready for the event. She was thankful for the store that appeared to specialize in clothing and accessories from all around Valoran - with some Piltovian twists, which was really just comprised of adding multiple belts and cogs everywhere.
When evening fell, Kin found herself dressed in a simple, rather modernized qipao - dark red dragons on black and grimly reminiscent of a certain order she'd like to forget. Her hair was messy and untamed, yet she managed to pin it up into a loose bun with her braids left hanging as always. Kin had forsaken the golden jewellery and her mask (grudgingly) but she had been told that it was a masquerade. She had picked up a mask that fit snugly across the bridge of her nose, the string thin yet firm enough to wrap around her head. Following the theme of her dress, a golden dragon had been stitched into the velvet
The bouncer halted her, asking for any weapons on her person to which she forced a rather pained smile and allowed the burly man to pat her down before nodding her inside the estate. It was only in the safety of the mansion did she roll her eyes before making her way straight to the table piled with food. It was a shame she didn't have a pouch quite large enough to steal away all the delicious goodies... or a pouch at all. She stacked her plate with as much as she could carry before turning to mingle (awkwardly) with the few that had already arrived.

Elody pointed to her mask. "Oh, this old thing? I thought it was normal enough, just picked it up on the way here. I think it was a bit of a ripoff." She leaned in closer to him, whispering as if what she was saying was a national secret. "I paid at least seventy valors for the thing. I would've made my own, but the time crunch..."
She went back to her casual pose, tugging at her hair slightly. "So, got a name, or are you really far into the masquerade thing?" She giggled slightly. "It's fine if you don't want to. Some of the people here really like staying under wraps, if you catch my drift." She gestured over in the direction of Kin at that word. "Like her, but some do it better. Oi! You don't have to take all the food home with you!" She smiled warmly at Kin and gestured for her to join the two of them.
It wasn't long before a Demacian ship pulled into the Piltovian docks. She hopped off and smiled a little brushing her dress off slightly. She slipped her mask on and smiled at Vincent before she began to wonder through the the city. Her wand tucked into a strap in her dress.. just in case. She asked around and soon found the location to the Droflum estate. She looked up at it and cocked her head to the side.
"It's pretty!" She said, smiling before she made her way inside.

He followed Lux around Piltover until they found the estate, oddly enough the bouncer didn't bother to search Lux as thoroughly as he searched Vincent, he wouldn't find anything, Vincent was too used to hiding small blades on him.
"I don't have any weapons on me." Vincent told the bouncer as he searched him a second time, after that he was allowed to go inside. He wore a brown coat, with his black mask, covering his face for two reasons, the first one it was required to be allowed inside, second he didn't want anyone to recognize him even the slightest.
"It is." he said and looked around, trying to see if there was someone who might have even the slightest thought to harm Lux while they where there.

XenoS nodded slowly, face twitching as if in pain. "Yikes... That does seem like a rip off." He said. 70 valors for a mask? Damn. His fingers tapped against the cup, making a small sound as if he was trying to think of something. A name? Crap crap crap crap, a name, he has to think of a name! "It's Sam." He said so suddenly, saying the first name that came to him. He extended a hand out, willing to shake hers if needed. "It's not something I'm too heavy about. First time coming to one these parties anyways." He said with a shrug. "Not sure if I DO catch your drift though."
He turned to who she was talking about, raising a brow slightly. Well she certainly was Ionia, that was a dead giveaway. Pretty, but she's not the reason why he's here. Someone else is. Then again he wondered why she was stacking so much damn food in the first place. XenoS chuckled softly as Elody brought her to the group. Of course on the inside it was upsetting. He was starting to draw attention, having people see him up close. That wouldn't be good if something were to happen. Authority would have people to contact for details about a murderer.
He had to play it cool though, and gestured along with Elody. "We don't bite... At least she doesn't." He said with a small smirk to himself... Stab would be a better word... And shoot... And hang... And decapitate....
Lux wondered about the large place, her cat mask strapped to her face. She smiled a little, this looked like it was going to be a fun evening! Luxanna wondered over to the table and poured herself a glass of punch, sipping it idly as her eyes scanned the are to see if she saw anyone she knew. It would be hard due to the masks, but still... she thought she'd give it a try.

Vincent took a look around, it was a huge party, a lot of people was there. Had he not been wearing his mask that covered his entire face, he'd be drinking a little too, not too much but maybe one or two glasses. It was too much of a hassle taking of the mask just to drink, so instead he just stood next to Lux, moving when she moved. "See anyone you recognize, Miss. Crownguard?" he asked her as he saw her looking out over the room.

XenoS was talking to the two ladies, looking around from time to time. Where was the bastard? He couldn't find him anywhere. His eyes wandered, looking through the crowds of people talking, smiling, laughing, and the small groups of men and women flirting. He never saw the point of it really. Flirting was just another way of talking, and talking was just a way of getting info.
Soon, his eyes wandered on the Lady of Luminosity. He stared at her for only a few seconds more, before looking away to make sure she wouldn't catch on. Was that the woman he thought it was. He thought he saw her hear and there when he was in Demacia, talking with the Prince... Was it? Maybe just another peak?? He looked back at her, staring for a few second more. Damn these masks, it's going to be hard to make out faces tonight...
