Tonight was the night of the annual Corday Summer Ball.
Only the best of the best were invited by the Corday family, one of the most powerful and influential families in the entire world.
As expected of the extravagant Corday Family, the ballroom was the exact size of Madison Square Garden with a magnificent golden statue of Hikaru's great grandfather and founder of Corday International - Alexandre Corday II.
Hundreds of waiters and waitresses awaited their guests with trays of every food imaginable.
It was to be the night of the year..but neither Hikaru Corday or his father, the current CEO of Corday International, could be found.

"Of course.... Corday calls a party for for all of the world's upper class and he doesn't even show up. Typical..."

Kiriha sipped on some champagne. Europe...why couldn't this have been in Japan? He was forced to come regardless, but it would have just been easier in Japan...

Deneb, in disguise of course, was pacing around the front entrance.
"Hikaru? Where are you..?"
Knowing Hikaru, he just had to make a grand entrance.

Michelle tapped her foot, frowning. She was almost half-tempted to leave the party for the time being... but at the same time she knew if she did, she'd more than likely miss Corday make an pompous ass out of himself -- something she always enjoyed watching whenever there were gatherings like this.

Deneb looked up at the clock.
Hikaru had not told him his plans for the evening which hurt Deneb a little.
He sighed, maybe Hikaru didn't need him anymore...

Jade knocked back glasses of champagne one after the other. She despised the taste, but it was the closest thing to alcohol around. Jade did NOT want to be here in the slightest, but her board members suggested that she show up to the event anyway.
"When is this moron going to show up?" Jade asked with a groan.
"He was supposed to be here an hour ago" Dryvern said boredly. While Dryvern was one of the people who thought Jade should be here, that didn't mean he wanted to tag along! While he did take it upon himself to make sure Jade was alright, he did love to bust loose and get plastered himself. He didn't bother attempting a disguise. Several socialites were freaked out by his appearance, but he ignored them all.

"Hikaru! Hikaru?!"
Deneb flipped up a table cloth and looked, but could not find them. He checked several other places (including a woman's skirt for which his face was immediately slapped and apologized for), but could not find his contractor anywhere.
He knocked his head against the wall where Jade and Dryvern were standing.
"I'm a failure as his imagin AND his butler! Oh Hikaru, please forgive me!"

"The Hell is that?" Jade asked, looking at Deneb. Dryvern shrugged.
"Do you work for Hikaru?" Dryvern asked, looking at Deneb.

Michelle sighed. "So even his butlers can't keep track of him... that guy..."

Deneb was about to answer when all of the lights suddenly went out. A woman screamed. Deneb held his breath, surely he could guess what was to come.
Dramatic music began to play as a voice boomed over the intercom.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! MAY I PRESENT YOUR HOST FOR THE EVENING!!"
Stage lights switched on, focusing on the golden statue.
"SON OF GASTON CORDAY, CEO OF CORDAY INTERNATIONAL, AND HEIR TO THE CORDAY FAMILY!!!"
The music stopped and to the surprise of the entire audience the statue exploded into a mist of confetti.
"HIKARU CORDAY!!!!"
The mist cleared, with help from a couple serving folk and their portable fans, and there was Hikaru clad in his signature golden suit, relaxing on a golden throne, with a silver Dracula-esque cape flowing from his shoulders.
The audience was stunned for a moment before many of them broke into applause. Hikaru smiled, magicians, engineers, and prop artists had been working on that for months - his most spectacular entrance yet.

"...Pretensious moron..." Dryvern said, facepalming.
Jade turned to the nearest waiter and handed them the equivalent of a 100 dollar bill. "Guiness. NOW."

Michelle handed the waiter another $100. "Bring me a glass of wine too."

"Hikaru!" Deneb clapped and cheered the loudest, "I knew you would make it! I just knew it!"
Hikaru departed from his throne and released the cape from his shoulders, handing it to one of his attendants. A waiter handed him some wine and watched as Hikaru went to mingle with the crowd.
