Party I

Devon was mortified. Although she had expected a banquet far different from in her world, the party was still beyond her imagination. 

"Sis, come!" Dion leaned in her side, gesturing for her to follow Mike and Bella.

She glanced at him, sighing heavily. The atmosphere was cozy, at the very least, in her vicinity. However, from her vantage point, she could see ladies in their bikinis and men in trunks — topless — around the pool through the glass wall.

"Hey, is this your first time being surrounded by models and celebrities?" Ghost Lin inquired from her other side, only then she realized the real problem. "Right… this is your first time going to this kind of party, eh? This is normal, though… I think." 

"Sis, what's wrong?" Dion came close out of concern, as she seemed truly bothered by something.

Devon shook her head, closed-lipped. "Nothing."
