My friend, Amy, had invited me to the party. It was a costume party at one of her friend’s house. I stopped to pick her up and found she had decided on a sexy but classy pirate outfit. With her toned and curvy figure and natural confident swagger she looked rather dashing. I told her as much as she laughed about making sure to plunder all the booty before I could lay my scheming hands on it. I had chosen to go as Jareth with an attached half goblin masquerade mask.
It was a two story house with a basememt on the edge of a suburb. The music was loud, the yard and house were full, and people generally seemed to be having a good time. I quickly was introduced to Laura, the friend who owned the house. She was a small woman dressed in a slim stylized gothic steampunk dress with a fox mask.
Laura was friendly and out going, bouncing between groups of people and working the entire party. I found out she thoroughly enjoyed re-enactments in her free time as well as several things that made conversation easy and flowing.
