Party time and more [Action]

[idkmybffalfred]

[In a ballroom at Central City.]

The auction was done and a hefty pile of wealth had been gathered to help pay for the reconstruction of Amestris in the wake of the devastating undead invasion. All that was left at this point was the after party, and EVERYONE has been invited. The majority of the party has moved to a huge ballroom, complete with an in house orchestra, several tables of light snacks and drinks, a large dancing area, tables around the edges of the room, and servants with trays of drinks making sure no one goes long without a glass. Brag about your newest acquisition, seeth with jealousy at the guy who bid more on the piece you wanted, enjoy fine food and drinks from across the empire, get drunk, dance, have fun. Mr. Wayne is footing the bill tonight.

[Elsewhere, later that evening...]


A dark figure edges close to the tall wall surrounding the manor belonging to the mysterious man known only as The Major. It produces a grappling hook from under its cloak, and is perched atop the wall in short order to get a better look at what it has to contend with here.

He tilts his head at that, and smiles. "I wonder who is the fortunate princess." The man teases impishly before dropping his voice.

"I did a check here, none here have anything to lead me to believe that they had anything to do with the stranger, some of our men are looking elsewhere."

"Your guess is as good as mine. I think Yagami was making a joke, but sometimes it's hard to tell."

He crosses his arms, frowning at the crowd. "No new information, then? Thank you, Waka. And please forgive me for snapping at you. These sort of events are bad enough when I'm not surrounded by enemies."

He still has that serene smile the entire time. "It's understandable, My Lord - between Yagami's strange humor and the bores." Waka made a sideways glance at the Millennium members lingering here and there. "It would try the patience of a saint."

"But a wife would do wonders for alleviating your stress."

"...Don't you start too!" he wailed. "I don't even know the Princess of Zeon! And if she's anything like her brother, I'm going to wake up after the honeymoon with a knife stuck in my back."
