It seemed like it took an eternity for evening to arrive, but when it finally did, Carter was happy to have something productive to do - getting ready for the event tonight. He took a shower and put on his clothes for the evening, which were the fanciest things the red head had ever worn. He wore a blue vest with a dark suit jacket over top, with matching pants and tie, all rented to him through Seth, who was kind enough to pay for it for the evening. Carter didn't have a lot of money, and he was extremely grateful to his roommate and friend for the help in obtaining it.<br/><br/>Wearing the mask made him feel a bit silly, but that was the point of a masquerade, so he found one that he thought Lily would like and would wear it for at least some of the evening. For now, though, since he was still within the walls of the Athena household, it would remain on sitting on his bed while he finished getting ready. His hair was sticking up a little bit in every direction from his shower, but once it was fixed and looking nice, he was prepared for the evening and started to feel more excitement. Parties weren't something he usually attended, but were something he enjoyed. Plus, there would be some yummy, fancy food.<br/><br/>Even Ross was dressing up for the event. He let Carter give him a bath after the redhead told him he wouldn't be allowed to eat any of the food if he wasn't clean, and once he was dry, he was fluffier than ever. Carter had even bought his furry companion a bow tie, which easily fit around his neck and didn't seem to bother him as he walked or anything. "You look very cute in your bow tie. I'm sure everyone is going to want to give you some food." Ross said he sure hoped so, as he assumed he wasn't going to be allowed to reach into the serving dishes to make himself a plate. Carter would do that for him, but if his human wasn't around when he wanted someone, he would simply ask someone else. Others couldn't usually understand Ross, unless they were able to talk to animals, but Ross was smarter than the average Raccoon and would figure out some way to convey to them what he wanted.<br/><br/>"We'll probably leave here soon. I don't want to be early because I'll feel weird if no one else is there yet but I also don't want to be late and miss everything." Before leaving his room, Carter grabbed his mask off the bed and went with Ross to sit in the main part of the house.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://ilarge.lisimg.com/image/3872795/751full-casey-taylor.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Oliver Green</span><br/><strong>Blessed By::</strong>Poseidon<br/><strong>Location::</strong>At the Event<br/><strong>Company::</strong>None -- Mentioning Akira and Nenene<br/><strong>Date/Time::</strong>Saturday, June 20th<br/><strong>Mood::</strong>Excited and Nervous<br/><strong>Wearing::</strong><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Quill's Other Great Pick</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://www.dhresource.com/0x0/f2/albu/g9/M00/EA/87/rBVaVVzw_7iAOR-xAAJIdqsHAhw954.jpg)(https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-w8h1g5/images/stencil/500x659/products/7223/28887/20200216_164352_clipped_rev_1__77809.1582779855.jpg?c=2)</div></div><br/><br/><br/><br/>Dressing formally was something Oliver did almost everyday. If he wasn't dressed nice to give lectures and teach classes, he was dressed messily, in ratty old clothes meant for splashing around in the creek and sloshing through mud. Tonight required an extra touch of formal than his usual attire, but nothing that was out of his comfort zone. Ollie's dark green suit jacket was something he had never worn before was gifted to him some while ago as something to wear while he was teaching, but it was just a tad too formal for a classroom and he decided to save it for a later date. Today seemed like it was a perfect time to try it out. It still fit perfectly fine, and he wore dark pants and an equally as dark buttoned up shirt underneath. Looking in the mirror, he was pleased with the look. A colored jacket wasn't really his thing, but this outfit seemed to completely work.<br/><br/>He didn't have anyone to impress, so he wasn't too worried about looking extremely nice or anything. He just wanted too look appropriately dressed and such, so it didn't take too long until Oliver was done and ready. He would still be early, of course, but he was Elder, so that wouldn't be out of the ordinary. The walk was a short one, but everything seemed to already be set up and running smoothly with the staff, who were bustling about and some speaking with Akira. There wasn't anything in particular Oliver needed to do when he got here, so he made his way over to the Elder's table, where Akira would soon be joining him. She was sitting in the center, however, he was sitting towards the end. While the elders were all nice and made sure he wasn't excluded, he was still newer and younger, and wasn't sure where he fit in among them yet, and he didn't want to seem rude or anything by sitting where someone else may want to sit. So the end of the table seemed the most appealing.<br/><br/>Nenene, the other new and young elder, caught his attention when he heard her calling for Akira, waving a large bottle from her bag in the air. It brought an amused smile to his face to see how she waved it like that, but he didn't say anything or draw any attention to himself to either of the woman. Instead, he simply asked the neared staff member for a glass of water. While he waited for the Blessed and remaining elders to arrive, he would sip at his water and absently tap at the glass softly with his index finger. The tapping was causing the water to slowly swirl around in the glass, something he wasn't really paying attention to and mostly just doing because he was feeling anxious. Parties were not his thing. Oliver had always been the nerdy kid, the one who preferred to read books during recess rather than play with kids during school, and as a result, had a limited number of friends, none of which were considered "cool" enough to be invited to parties. This type of party wasn't the same as a high school or college party, and he was sure this would be fun.<br/><br/>
