The moogle standing at the front doors witnessed in mild concern as the petite brunette girl who had just pulled up to the front practically stumbled out of her car, before righting herself hastily. She dropped her keys in the valet's hands, and made her way to the building safely.
"...Are you alright, kupo?"
"You saw that? Its these heels... I hardly ever wear these things, so I never learned how to walk in them properly."
"Ah... I wouldn't know, kupo." The small creature glanced at said heels and silently wondered why anybody would subject their feet to such torture. Realizing he was staring at the woman's feet, he quickly directed his attention back upwards, hovering slightly until they were at eye-level, and cleared his throat. "You sure look nice in them though, kupo!"
"Yeah, well, I was gonna come as a Storm Trooper but I don't think we ended up rolling with that idea."
"...What?"
"Hey, has my date shown up yet?"
Stiltzkin gave the strange guest a quizzical look before checking over his list, his pom-pom bobbing a bit from his movement. The girl had to exercise restraint from poking at it in fascination. The moogle cleared his throat once again, bringing the guest's attention back to Earth.
"Name?"
"His name's Ruin."
"I meant yours, kupo."
"Oh, didn't I tell you already? Stupid me. I'm Insufficient Mage."
Stiltzkin made a mark on his list, and glanced skeptically at the guest, now identified, before him. "I'm sure you are aware but I'm required to remind you that it is against the law for mages to drink, kupo..."
The girl laughed nonchalantly. "Oh you don't gotta worry about that, little guy. I'm not old enough. Besides, I wouldn't wanna ruin this lovely evening by blowing up the ballroom or anything!" Her seemingly innocent smile was a little less than reassuring to the now-slightly-concerned-for-his-safety moogle. He flew to the side of the mage anyways, granting her entry.
"Your date should be inside already, kupo... Enjoy your evening..."
Insufficient Mage gave the diminutive creature another smile before entering the building. Her ears were immediately filled with music, and she spotted a number of guests already socializing and whatnot. She scanned the vicinity, before making a 360 and noticing a familiar face leaning against the wall by the doors. She brightened, and carefully strode up to her date, making sure not to stumble again. Because that would be far too cliche in this sort of event.
"Hey, you're here already! I'm not late or anything am I? Aw man, I am huh..." She stopped suddenly, looking her date up and down, before grinning widely. "Wow! You clean up good! And we actually match and stuff!" The mage did a quick spin, showing off her flowy white dress with thin spidery black detailing snaking its way up from the hem, like vines. She barely caught her balance, but somehow managed to stay upright after that number.
