Felix nodded in response to Isabella. Her reaction was to be expected and was fair enough he supposed. "I've been branded since birth," he started, holding up his wrists to reveal the manacle-like tattoos upon them in the face of Giratina. "But I've only been roped into the familia for about six months now, back when I finally turned eighteen." It had certainly been a rough and tumble six months, that was for sure. They were six months he'd rather just put behind him already.
"Yes, apparently I owe my entire existence to Giratina. A fact that he enjoys flaunting in front of me any chance he gets. You see, my parents made a deal with him when they were having trouble conceiving. As you can imagine, it went south in a hurry. Long story short, I was born and owe a debt equal to my very life to the god. Now that I'm of age it's up to me to repay it back in full, which I'm hoping this venture will do." Felix didn't know whether it would and obviously had his doubts. Giratina would find ways for Felix to incur even more debt or somehow weasel more out of him. He would wring Felix dry for all he was worth and still want more. Was it fool-hearty or just plain stupid of Felix to believe he could work it all out in the end? Maybe, but that was neither here nor there.

Noe smirks
"Why of course my dear, I was taught by the best~. Well, it seems I've gotten about as much intel as I can on the situation. I will leave you to your guests Who are nowhere near as beautiful as you, just so you know"
On his way out Noe noticed the fellow Rafe screaming at his companions from a distance. Isolated, agitated, and surrounded by people who wish to usurp him. Perfect. Noe approached from behind, and gave Rafe's shoulder a light tap. Noir at this point had decided to stop gnawing away at Noe, and accepted the fact that he was going to be stuck to his brothers side for the remainder of the evening.
"Your name is Rafe correct? I'm Noe, I believe we shall be companions very soon."

Raimundo looked genuinely surprised at what the younger -it was still kind of hard to process how quickly humans aged and died sometimes despite being a doctor and an elf- man told him. It was nice to hear another friend congratulating him, especially someone as valued as Salvador. Even if it was something he hadn't quite agreed to... like at all.
"Thank you my friend. I'm very sure it would be useful in the trials ahead." He said with a small, genuine smile. "I have absolutely no idea what was going on in Lord Ho-Oh's head when he made this decision, but I'll go through with it for the familia's sake anyway. And pride too I suppose." He joked lightly.
He then tentatively looked over to the table before returning his gaze to Salvador. "What is going on at that table since I have left, anyway? Has Xavier's distraction failed?"

Isabella stared at the younger man with some sense of pity. Even if it was a lie the tale itself was sad enough she could offer some. "As crude as it is to say, mayhaps make sure you know the price you have to pay, as crass as it is, putting a number on your life may make it easier to pay" Isabella waved the little fan in her hand, it was truly horrible to place a number on a life, but sometimes you must do things you detest to get ahead in life...Isabella knew this lesson well.

"I would think," Darius says, uncaring as to the insensitivity of the comment, "that it would be impossible to repay a life debt, save for by dying. Or perhaps finding another to take your place." He drinks from his whiskey, watching the boy. He had of course not taken everything said at face value. He had found it was often those who wanted you to trust them that were the least trustworthy.

Raimundo: Salvador glances back over to the table with you searching for your fellow peer. "It would appear not, everyone seems to wrapped up in their festivities. Worry not though Rai, I feel as if Ho-Oh knew what they were doing. He has a way of keeping us on our toes."Speaking of, things were beginning to heat up. Moltres members began to get louder in their corner as the free booze flowed like the Nile. Members began to start jokingly pushing each other, which turned quickly into punches. The Goddess herself jumps in moments later, spitting fire. The look on Diance's face is not that of amusement. Thinking its part of the games, Groudon members seem to have joined the fray. The smooth instrumental quickly turns to an all out mosh pit. The Swords of Justice are the next to join the fray throwing wild hay-makers and spin kicks. Diance looks to Dialga for some support but he merely shrugs in the same sense a dad would when saying "boys will be boys". Diance begins to stomp her feet in a priss and looks very unforgiving of whats happening. The music quickens and more and more familia are joining the bout in what appears to be an all out brawl at this point. Actions? Music

Felix opened his mouth to respond to the Lord and Lady, but stopped suddenly and frowned. This wasn't due to what they had said; Felix really did believe he could figure some reasonable way out of his predicament. No, it was more due to what was going on in the corner just beyond them. Things had become a little too drunken and raucous and it was beginning to spread like wildfire throughout the patrons of the gala. Having little experience with formal parties, Felix was about to ask the Devereauxs if this was a common occurrence. Before he could though, someone came stumbling right into him from behind, having apparently been punched square across the face. The sudden and unexpected impact knocked Felix forward and flat on his face. This was actually rather convenient as one of Moltres' fireballs suddenly crashed down where Felix had been previously standing, singeing the polished floor.
"Perhaps it's time to go..." He thought, still staring at the spot where the flames had burst. Things around him were beginning to delve into total chaos and he'd have to try to slink his way through the crowd without getting trampled, pushed, or outright beaten. As much as he loathed the thought of heading back to Giratina's to wait it out until tomorrow, he also rather disliked the thought of entering the bout with a black eye and broken arm. He'd lost track of where his future teammates were in all the chaos and hoped they'd be ok. Crossing his fingers, he got to his feet and hoped he could at least make it out of the crowd if not out of the party itself.
Not being terrifically martial and realizing the situation is far beyond controlling, Felix attempts to slink out of the chaos without catching any punches or kicks to the face.

Noe was quick to notice Diancie's disdain to what was happening. Makes sense. Something so vulgar has no place at a proper galla. As one of diancie's familia, it was his responsibility to maintain order, and reprimand those who were causing problems. First was the band. Noe calmly made his way to the conductor/lead viola/whoever was in charge, tapped them on the shoulder and ordered
"My dear, you are performing for Diancie, and all the other gods tonight. I would advise you stop serenading this boarish action immediatly."
Command to force them to stop RWJqKMHh1-61-61-61-6
Noe then checks if this dissuades the fighting at all, prepared for if it doesn't1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6

Feeling the tap on his back, Rafe spun around and turned on his customer face. "Hello Noe, it's nice to meet you. That is a handsome young person you've got there. I hope you are enjoying this evening. What are your-" Rafe stopped as a large dog pile of wrestlers crashed into the table next to him. Rafe went wide eyed and realized that it was time to leave. Noe seemed to get the exact opposite direction as his stormed off directly to confront some wailing musicians. "I'll see you tomorrow!" Rafe called after the fancy noble.
He turned back around to Anter, "it looks like its time for me to leave. Do you want to talk outside? I'm not going to get involved with all of that."

The band turns to face Noe and with shame bow their heads and the music subsides. The fighting however does not fade. Items begin to break, tables, blood soaking the floors from hard fisticuffs. Finally Palkia stands above the rest and with a wave of their hand a powerful force washes over the crowd. Every person who was once fighting falls to the ground. The immense pressure seems to much for even the mightiest warrior to stand. Several grunts echo in the room as the people attempt to rise from the ground. Palkia releases their grip and nods to Diance. Everyone kind of stands and dust themselves off and begin to disperse from the room. The other gods seem to be shaking their heads, while others are notably missing.

"I sure hope so. I know that even the gods are not infallible though." Raimundo bit his lip as he looked around....
...and his expression promptly went flat at the ruckus that was starting to happen. "Figures that a place with this much liquor would degrade into a bar-style fight soon enough." Before he could even try to ponder if he should try and stop it for more than a few seconds though, the bodies suddenly all fell to the floor. He raised an eyebrow at the sight, only to glance over at the the front of the room to see the form of Palkia with their hand extended.
Ah, of course. Surprising that it wasn't Dialga who stopped them though, but that was that.
He turned back to Salvador. "Looks like the party's starting to end. You and Xavier still want to stay here or should we just retire to our homes for the night before the second 'wave' arrives and the remaining gods get grumpier?"

Isabella lets out an annoyed sigh. The antics of everyone having ruined her pleasant conversation. She didn't wish to stay in such a disastrous atmosphere. She tapped her husband's hand, making sure to get his attention before she leaned in to whisper into his ear. "Shall we leave the idiots to their fighting and make our exit? I've grown rather bored of this soiree, of course we should probably make sure our fellow familia make it out, but other than that...I see no reason to stay"
Isabella twirled a piece of her hair as she talked, she was a bit nervous, more of ruining her outfit and appearance if she got dragged into the brawl. Really, why does this always happen?

Noe takes a breath to recover from the annoyance he was experiencing from this whole situation. He was sickened by the brutish pricks that had the audacity to perform such a tribal tactic at one of Diancie's parties. Naturally, it was his responsibility to salvage and remaining dignity the familia had tonight by greeting and apologizing to any guest in his immediate vicinity. He would make sure he was the last to leave tonight.

Darius watches the melee with a raised eyebrow. It would seem that simply joining a Familia did not make a person noble. He did have to admit however, that many of the combatants are excellent fighters. These are likely the ones that had spent considerable time in the Dungeon. He is then interrupted from his spectating by a tap on his hand, and a comment from Isabella.
"Yes, this would seem to be a prudent time to leave," he agrees, matching her hushed tone. "Though I see no reason to assist the others. I am sure they can handle themselves." His statement is somewhat coloured by his annoyance at his Familia or allowing a member to challenge him, but nevertheless, it is true.
The conversation is interrupted at this moment by all of the brawlers suddenly collapsing to the ground. Palkia apparently did not appreciate the test of martial ability in the midst of a ball. Before they are able to stand back up, Darius begins to depart, stepping over prone forms whenever necessary.

Making your ways out of the room Diance waves at all of you. "Good luck champions. Sorry for the ehhh interesting time."
Each of your perspective dieties minus Giritina give a gloss raise and a nod. Tomorrow was sure to be interesting. I mean who doesn't love a good chance to show off.

As groups leave one by one, Noe directs the staff to clean in the most efficient way possible. He approaches Diancie, slightly irritated by the actions that transpired
"I miss the days when familia had a certain amount of dignity. When did those days die Miss Diancie? Was it around the time that Zapdos went through that mullet phase? Yes, I'm certain it was then."
Noe's little brother Noir had originally waited patiently off to the side, but eventually fell asleep on the floor. Noe picked him up before leaving.
"Shall we return home Milady? I can promise no hooligans will bother you with me as your escort."

"That would be delightful Noe." she motions for two large people to stand in front and behind her while holding out her arm to you. The crisp air whips around the two of you on the venture home. People drunkenly staggering the streets. The sounds of owls cooing in the distance as the moon shines through all the trees. This was truly a crisp night. Noir shivers a little from the breeze and cuddles closer into your free arm. "So tell me Noe, do you think you were the right choice to be my champion?" Diance asks as you two approach her chambers.

"Of course, if for no other reason than the fact that YOU chose me. You've always proven to have good judgement and excellent taste. You would have my support no matter who you'd have chosen. It happening to be me is just gravy. You needn't worry about me though. I can assure you I'll represent our familia with the pride it deserves."
