Mikado Mansion- Main Hall

June 28- 6:19 p.m.

Sebastian has never felt more like an outsider ever in his whole life. 

Once he and Cozy returned to the office, he went to the computer to research more about this "Mikado Mansion" and the family that owned it. They found that the Mikado family is a very rich family who runs Mikado Marvelous Moonstones , a multi-billion jewelry company , and their mansion , worth over one million dollars, is located on a piece of land that they also brought and own with their vast wealth.  They also learn that the party that Sebastian was invited to was an annual anniversary party to celebrate the companies founding, with those invited to be high class and had a major contribution in the companies success.

Which is why Sebastian felt off when he of all people was invited to a party celebrating the founding of a company he never even heard of before, still, there has to be a good reason why he was given an invite, so he decided to go there anyways. Having clocked out from the office earlier than usual, and dressed as formal for a fancy party as much as he could, he decided to go to the Mansion to see if the invite was legit, as well as what the reason is for him to be invited to a part like this should the invite be legitimate . Cozy tagged along with him as well.

Once he reached the Mansion, which looked as expensive and fancy in person as in the online photos, he gave his ticket to the security guards , who confirmed the invite as legitimate, and soon he found himself inside the main hall , surrounded by a few people who was giving Sebastian a weird look.

"As if it didn't feel awkward enough already..." Sebastian thought.

Looking around, he came to the logical conclusion that the other people here were acquaintances of Mikado, there were servants, which included Paul Light, the one who gave him the invite, all of whom wore the same butler or maid uniform,  which mean the other guest, wearing fancy clothing, must be they're probably all super-rich and important.

"Golly," Cozy whispered into Sebastian, the other guest didn't hear " just looking at this hall already tells you that  you don't really fit in ..."

"Thanks for adding onto the nervousness, Cozy... " Sebastian took a deep breath, "It's ok, I think I know how to act first class enough to not say or do anything embarrassing..."

"Are you Ok Sebby?" Cozy glow asked him, "You look like you're about to cry..."

"I-I'm fine, Cozy, Ok..." Sebastian told his concerned friend, the pegasu- I mean doll flying in a hidden space near him... "I'm going to try and blend with these people a bit..."

"Um... while they have similar meaning, the word Mingle would be a more suitable word than blend..."

"Right, sorry, ok here goes nothing..."

Sebastian looked around the room and decided to talk with the most casual looking person in the room first. He still wore a fancy suit and tie, but his look was lay back and chill. 

*Sigh* " Guess I do deserve a little break from all the trouble at Core Cavern Co..." The man plays around with his glass of what appears to be liquor ...

"Um... Good Afternoon , Sir... Nice to meet you here..."

"Huh?" The man turns his attention to Sebastian "Oh, good morning, haven't seen you around here before... nice to meet you too, Mr..."

"Debeste, Sebastian Debeste ..."

"The best , huh?"

"Ah! D-don't get the wrong idea, I'm not calling myself the best or something like that, it's literally my sir name..."
