Who: Everybody willing to pop up
What: A party
When: 9pm EST
Where: The front hall
Rating: Low...

The front hall is bright with rainbows. Fish fly here to there like there's water to support them, and music dances constantly at the edge of hearing in an eerie echo against the walls.

Windows glitter and sparkle and pictures play across them, telling a story about each Endless, all of them opening up to a new world of thought. The front doors are flung open to let the air in, and faerie lights glimmer on all the foliage nearby.

The food is set up against one wall. In the very center is a platter of those little weenies and a slushy machine, but spreading out along both sides are fruits and meats and pastas and lots of chocolate. There's no order to the food, each course mixed in with all the rest.

Delirium stands at the end of the hall in front of the outside doors in a black fishnet dress. The cloth is constantly moving, opening and closing, hiding and revealing. Every thought runs through her mind, and finally settles on...

Please come... please please please...

Delirium whimpered as he started leaving. Leaving leaving leaving. She watched confused, and sniffled as she waved more between a swarm of fishies and herself.

Going... He was going and she was all in pieces and he was all in pieces and she couldn't come all back together 'cause she was broken broken broken. Don't don't...

"Go...? Where is he go... Leaving why is he... he went and it's cuz Del came to pieces its all..." Her fault. All her fault. They people were yelling and it was loud and nobody said anything and it was all her fault cuz she was broken and I'm sorry... I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry. Bad broken Del. Bad. Bad peices...

I'm sor- "-ry... I'm sorry don't, bad Del. Del didn't mean to she's sorry. She broke him pieces bad Del badDelbadDelbadDel! I'm sorry don't be ad at Del I'm sorry sorry sorrysorrysorry..." She trailed of, sniffling some more and watched him as she hair shifted and shortened.

Romeo didn't mean to make her cry, or shatter, or anything like that. He thought that if he, the source of all of her problems at this instant, left-- that the night would gradually get better. He halted at the door and turned around. Fairy lights twinkled merrily around him despite his guilty expression.

His voice barely rose above a whisper. "Deli-chan..." He was so horribly broken without him there, that was obvious. How could he leave? How could he leave anyone like that? Romeo wasn't a coward. He just wasn't.

"It's not your fault," he struggled, rubbing at his nose. "You did nothing wrong. You never could."

She looked at him earnestly, yes sparkling as her pieces starting putting themselves back together. "Del's done lots of things wrong. She makes Desire mad and Dream die and Destruction leave. Del does lots of things wrong always..."

She poked her fingers together, not looking at him anymore. She was nervous and sad and confused but he wasn't leaving anymore and that was good, right?

"Del didn't mean to do it wrong so does he want to come back and have chocolate or cake or mango slushie or fish...?"

He wouldn't stay because of pity, right? He'd stay because of food, or because he wanted to...

Right?

Romeo frowned as he listened to her try to name off all the things she did wrong. Who, or what, were those other things? Perhaps people of the same... element as she. Romeo had never before encountered something superhuman-- not before Paradisa.

Now, the drama king crossed the floor between them quickly. He took those nervous, steepled fingers into his warm hands and kissed them a hundred times in sweet, solemn apology. "I would never leave you, Deli-chan. Never. I would find a way back to you somehow. I'll always find a way back to you, just as my other friends..." He was silent for a moment. "Don't be sad anymore. I'm sorry."

"No, Del won't be sad. No more sad. He shouldn't be sorry when Del did something wrong..." Se smiled at him when he kissed her hands. Nobody had done that in forever before he came. Delight always got more attention then Delirium. Delights innocence was more desirable. More ruinable...

She laced their fingers together and started pulling him gently toward the table full of food. "Celebrate~"

Romeo saw Delight through Delirium, even if he wasn't aware of it. And she always brought Kousuke out somehow, but she didn't seem to mind... They were two of a kind, and yet so different. "We shall," Romeo said, tossing a smile in her direction. A deep breath and he already felt better.

The first thing he raided? Chocolate cake.~ It was only then that he realized people he knew-- or didn't know-- had arrived.

There were people. They were here... She should meet them...

"Del has to introduce. Be back? Promise. Meet and greet~" She smiled at him, wiggling her fingers a little in goodbye as she started to slide off to greet the newest guests.

"Of course, of course," Romeo grinned. "I'll be fine right here." He bowed a little as she fairied off to welcome the newest arrivals. He took a bite of cake and glanced around for someone to converse with.
