after much deliberation centi and I finally settled on an outfit and wig for me to wear.
It was a pale yellow with strong silver pattern throughout. the front pattern was soft and flat while the back puffed up slightly in long ruffles. I managed to convince her to let me wear one of my baby doll wedge matte dark greys for comfort, since the dress covered my feet well even with a slight lift.
my hair was slightly braided into the wig to keep it secured and a silver and pale yellow chains were weaved in.
I fell in love with the new look but the make up...no thanks. It was very harsh on my skin so I did my makeup myself. with what i had in my baggage. to get a natural shadow look with golden browns and deep purples for crease and shadow. my slight tan skin would turn shades quickly in the sun. so i always loved the colors that complimented my easily tanned skin.

Centi had sent louis to find me an escort who wouldn't be able to tell i wasn't her while she disguised herself as a guest who couldn't make it to the event.
she wore a similar dress but in a chocolate and gold tone with small yellow flowers pinned to her hair.

"All right miss Rea we are going to sneak in from the back garden door as it is easier to explain that we have been enjoying a long stroll."
she smiled so bright. I was still upset over all the happenings of the last few days but watching as we approach the shining lights coming from the garden I felt a sense of nostalgia.
"It's beautiful. i thought the garden near the detached cabin house was lovely...this...this is so sweet smelling it makes me hungry and happy."
I started to spin around laughing as i ran off into a large area with flowers. I couldn't even hear my escort or centi as I left fairly quickly.
purple, yellow, pink peonys, I was just so excited! I started to sing
(empty mirrors for ref haha)
I closed my eyes as I followed the long maze of hedges singing my heart out forgetting just how frustrated I was before and after coming to this place as i switched songs,
(cit sold- buried alive for ref)
My arm was pulled back and forced into a tight embrace.
my body went into shock. I immediately dropped down and tried curl my body up to see what was happening.
I was out of breath as it was so i couldn't bring myself to yell or ask why.
As i feared the worst I stopped moving.
(drip...drip..)
tears fell onto my face as i was slowly turned around to face a broad but slimmed faced man. His shoulder length hair curled around his baby eyes face.
"Um...are you okay?" I asked slightly sarcastically as i was still being held fairly tightly.
"My lady...how could your feelings be so?... how much have you suffered... i could correlate so well with your songs that it made my heart ache. i have found such a kindred soul."
oh gosh! I had an instant need to empty my stomach. i wanted to push this man off me as far away as possible, but with no way to use my arms or legs i felt helpless.
"Gregory James addams. I do not think she appreciates your antics. Nor does she appear to want any relation to you."
a deep voice called out and the man quickly released me.
"oh my the king of heartbreak wants to tell me how to whoo a woman? do tell sir?"
he said practically growled out. tears still dripping.
I ran to the voice smacked right into his stomach almost landing flat on the ground.
I felt the hem of the fabric on my chest be pulled up keeping me from falling all the way.
"Excuse me!" I grabbed his wrist launched myself up and glared at him. As my eyes set on his face i realized I'd seen him before. golden greenish hair that sparked.
"oh its you." I said through placid eyes.
"mm." he said as he moved me behind him.
"Why don't we go now Gregory. Didn't you say you wanted me to meet the lady of the house."
He stopped crying instantly and grew excited.
"So you'll finally consider marriage?! Oh i can't wait for you to meet her she is said to be very well versed and as sweet as cake!"
"go. don't stay he'll try to follow you home."
he whispered and nudged me away.
oh he didn't have to tell me twice. i booked it and made it to the door centi had been talking about. i could see her panic as she paced back and forth.
"boo! I shouted from a few yards away."
centi turned so quickly she nearly fell on our escort.
"Rea! we couldn't find you where did you go?..." her eyes were misty
"um...I just ran into...I mean I just really want to smell all the flowers I didn't pay attention. sorry."
Centaurea was clearly mad but relieved as well.
we both sighed and walked inside straight to a parlor nearby were centi helped me clean up my makeup.

We made it to the main hall were so many bright colors filled the room.
"everyone is sooo...colorful"
the dresses were cute but they looked heavy much heavier than what i was wearing.
"yes is it not lovely."
she giggled and motioned me to go choose someone to dance with.
"oh no..."
I really can't handle social occasions. I really hope I don't start fighting with anyone.
I looked around and spotted a cute man maybe early 20's looking my way. he had short chocolate colored hair and hazel brown eyes with bright specks of orange and gold. he wore a deep charcoal suit. I smiled at him and he quickly told something to the man beside him and handed his glass over to a server.
