As quickly as she could, she fixed her expression so she would not look so shocked at how he had intercepted what would have been an unfortunate collision. Her dress was not nearly as expensive as some of the others she had seen tonight, but it did not deserve that kind of treatment.

"The first one?" She uselessly adjusts the straps of her dress, just to give her hands something to do.

"As pretty as this mask is, it might be affecting my depth perception. Just a little."

— LOVESHOT. WHEN: the grand opening of anderson laboratories. WHERE: on the outskirts of the crowd. WHO: open to all.

Kyungseok sighs. The pinpoint of exhaustion needles itself right between his eyes, that grit of being unable to close his eyes & sleep. He hasn't been sleeping — and the sun rises in the east. These days, however, have been grating against his patience, winding up in a heavy ball of tension right there in his chest. Yet, now matter how he many times he curls his hands into fists, it still lingers. A jolting, electric thing that keeps him on his toes.

& as such, it keeps him on edge. The drink in his hand seemed to be doing very little. On top of that, he has no idea where Talia has gone. On the one hand, good. He didn't want to deal with her all night anyway. On the other hand, he had to deal with her. Tonight is supposed to be their ... big night after all. Loveshot and Lucidity — together! That bleeding tension, that sharp edge beneath his tongue does not go away.

Not that he lets it show.

No, tonight was supposed to be a night to — celebrate? He'll celebrate ... or as much as he could despite being strong-armed into it. The mask, the glittery collar around his throat that hides the scar there, the delicate chains that crisscross their way across his torso and back — they were all part of the celebration. That, however, did not mean that he was off duty. A drunk patron steps too wide and too big and right in front of the path of another.

Kyungseok is quick, reflexes are supernaturally sharp, and cuts his way between them to provide a wall between the drunkard and the other. If he could stop an incident from happening, please. Give him something to do. All this tension and nervous energy had to go somewhere. He deftly maneuvers the drunkard and sends them on their way back to their happy place, the bar. & all without spilling his drink. The prowess of a Level I agent. He glances over his shoulder. "Did you just not see them or were you hoping they would just move out of your way?"

Haru blinked out of a stupor from staring at the building in front of her. She surveyed the woman speaking to her, eyes traveling from her head to her toes. Tall - Haru so eloquently thought.

"Hm. I'm just trying to judge if this...event is worth the hours in heels." She lifted the hem of her dress to showcase the heels that boosted her from a 5'3" to a solid 5'8". It may not be a wise choice. It's a little too late, though. "But I think getting a drink or two in me will make worry less."

Open Location: Exactly three feet outside the building

Sammy found herself still sitting in the limo. Admittedly she was contemplating how to enter. To be impactful but not flashy. Sauve but not too suave. Sammy kept making faces in the before settling to one.

Just release your inner princess.

The wedding planner stepped out, ignoring the surprised look of the valet. She spotted a person and winked at them.

"Are you going in or were you waiting for your fairy godmother to help you?" In a higher pitch then she intended.

002.  EXTRA ORDINARY

tw: head injuries, mention of medical procedures

haru was performing in a competition in a group of four. she still can't recall how exactly it happened. she was doing a turn she had done a thousand times, and the next thing she knew she was falling off the stage. when her family and friends retell the story they all talk about the sickening sound of her head hitting the floor. how it thundered over the music still playing.

there were complications. her brain had swelled, and surgery was required. her mom was horrible at recounting the events but the gist is she was put into a medically induced coma and they weren't sure if/when she would wake up. she was in it for 9 months because her mom had refused to give up.

one of the few things she remembers were instances of sort of out-of-body experiences. she could see her hospital room where her mom would be by her bedside or a nurse would be checking on her. then those out-of-body experiences continued when she was able to return home and sleep in her own bed. but they were a little different.

it often happened while she was asleep. she had never been able to lucid dream before but after looking online that's what she chalked it up to be. though when it extended past people in her vicinity she became suspicious.

NOW, she can easily put herself into a trance when she wants to astral project.

it will still happen when she is asleep, even when she doesn't want it to. although her physical body is "resting," she will feel tired when it happens during the night.

Things she can't do yet:

project for longer than three hours before she begins feeling negative effects (fatigue, migraines, unable to focus)

project while conscious

interact with physical objects while projecting

shield/protect her body while away from it

Things she can do:

plant ideas/suggestions in others' heads while in astral form through a whisper that the other can't actually hear

interact with non-corporeal beings (in astral form)

choose whether or not she wants to be seen by others in her astral form

project anywhere of her choosing

truthfully, she doesn't think much of her power. she can't imagine herself using it for some greater good or evil. so she is just doing what she wants with it and actively trying to learn more about it/ how she can control it; to what end? she doesn't know yet.

codename COSMIC was given to her by her friend with vague descriptions about space and traveling the cosmos in her astral form with metaphors that didn't make sense. haru thought it was silly and rolled her eyes any time she was called that, but it's pretty, so it grew on her. she doesn't mind being called 'cosmic', but she prefers her real name

003.  EXTRA

Haru is a second-generation Korean-American. Her Korean is good but not enough to escape some criticism from her grandparents for not being fluent.

She moved to New York a few years ago to further her career in ballet. She has been dancing since she was five.

Haru lives alone in a one-bedroom apartment. Her parents will still help her financially even though she never really asked them to (but she's still gonna take it)

Her older sister is deceased. She died while Haru had been in a coma. They were very close.

She has not performed since the accident out of fear something bad will happen. So, she chose to help teach kids ballet instead.

Wanted connection - her bestie that gave her a codename. Gender doesn't matter. Close in age to Haru ~30-35.
