A sizeable number of Kets, were stood in the Great Hall, for the evenings festivities They had to agree.
The new Kets had turned it into a magnificently decorated, period showpiece. Eula and Torvan with others had done their research using the Galacia Imperitannica, to look up the various sections within it on Renais and Retro, obtaining ideas and designs for the costumes, plus how the arena should look.
An 'X' factor backdrop with all of the red, silver and blue. Flashing lights and mutli colored displays around the stage area as it was known? With a large illuminated walkway / catwalk, that led out between the growing numbers of Kets.
No one, could argue, that it was anything but impressive!
To start the entertainment, whilst other Kets arrived, a fashion parade? Retro from the 21st century. Over 50 Kets/Ketlets (Male & Female) taking part, modeling various garments, dress and otherwise as they strutted their stuff on the catwalk much to the amusement of their audience.
"Well?" Delise was getting impatient. Cala smiled. Stop worrying! She waved to Balyna who waved back.
The Fashion extravaganza brought to its conclusion the lights dimmed. A spotlight? A Ket moving to the front of the stage and stood in front of the Renais microphone with stand.
Claria?! They watched as she transformed to almost three times her size. The distinct colors across her face, the whiskers the cat like slinky feline. Gasps from some of them! "I wanted tonight to be myself. That is what tonight is about. To enjoy yourselves and relax; chill! A huge thank you to everyone who has made this evening possible. To those in the background who worked hard on the sets and the stage areas, the costumes and designs for the interior.
To the tutors, the Elite and the Akademy for an amazing year!" She bowed. Cheers from the Kets. "All it leaves me to do, is to tell you all on behalf of the band! Your entertainment for tonight? To paaaaaaaaaaaarty! " The lights went down, pitch black? Well almost.
From one corner of the front of the hall a tiny light that started to grow, flicker. Suddenly sweeping across the whole of the front section, from left to right and right to left, a laser display, that lit up the hall. A change of colors, the stage area fully illuminated and there centre stage the band? Corky almost dropped the drink from his hand. Serenia was staring nudging him. "You are kidding me! That's not?!"
Delise, with Cala in slick silver tight fitting outfits carrying electric guitars? Cala had the one with a red section across its front and Delise with the silver white 'Stratocaster.' Plugged and ready to rock?
The slap of the sticks across the drums and the moment their fingers touched the strings, the Kets went wild. NEVER had any of the others known, that Cala and Delise could play these things like they had been born attached to them!
Ameryst and Ortora, joined them, to provide vocals for several songs from the 20th and the 21st century, Male and female dancers for some of the songs, before they finished, took a bow, to uproar from the Kets. A break? Before the grand finale of the evening. Some refreshments.
"Do you two realize." Corky grinned. "You are both considered rock goddesses by a large number of those Kets!" Overhearing them after the noise levels dropped away, Serenia and Corky had started to laugh. "Can you believe it!
Must be their alter ego's coming to the fore! I've never seen Delise as extrovert as this! As for Cala."
Balyna slapped the palm of her hand across Yalyna's and Galyna's. "I knew those little tweaks, would bring out the best in them!" "Well they've seen nothing yet! Oh my have they got a surprise coming their way!"
The lights dimmed. Once again a flicker of light and the whole area ablaze with the laser light displays. Uproar as Delise and Cala waved to the Kets. Cala moving to the left as Delise shifted to the right of the stage area. In the middle, white smoke?
It grew drifting across the whole of the stage area.
Out of it coming to the front? Several figures of .. "No way!" Becci was stood next to Corky. Shouting to him?
He could just about make out above the uproar, as to what she was saying.
"Claria did say it was our intention to paaaaaaaaaaarty!"
The music that had been playing, with the four females now fully visible, as the smoke started to clear? The music turned up full, with them dancing and singing. Minutes later it died away, as one by one, they introduced themselves.
"Hey! Its awesome to be here! I'm Jesy, this is," "Perrie!" "Jade!" "Leigh!" "and we are?" She stepped in line with the others as they joined hands to raise their arms up, hands in the air, yelling at the top of their voices "Little Mix!"
"Who are we?" It was Perrie shouting at the Kets. Back came the sound of muffled voices? She screamed at them again. "We can't hear you! We are?" Uproar again! All that could be heard, was the mass of Kets yelling "Little Mix!"
A rasp from the Stratocaster as Delise and the band led them into the next and the next song. Corky and Serenia had moved over to one of the side rooms. A bit quieter. The noise of the Kets and were they ever paaaaaaaartying!
"Well I don't know about you but this time I have to admit they sure surprised me!" He poured himself a drink, handed it to her. "I can't wait to see what the next year is going to bring."
"Any word from those across the way." "Got there safely, now following instructions from Heliera." "I suppose we won't hear too much from them. Too risky." "Well the clones I think are going to be the least of our worries." "Did you hear about Ocasa?" Serenia started to laugh as she told Corky of what had happened. He was now laughing. "What I would have given to know what he was thinking!" More laughter.
"As for Anora and the Grovok!" "I did hear she almost drowned. I have to say that creature being there was most fortunate." Corky smiled as he sat down, placed his drink on the table watching her sit in front of him. "Was rather convenient." She stared at him. "You knew! Made sure it was there." He grinned. "Elder Devrok, sorted it for me. Knew the Grovok very well. Found it and convinced it that it needed to go for a swim. Right time, right place."
"How did you know, that Anora would make it across to the Estuary?" "I built in a failsafe, if it tipped over, it would follow its own set course. A gamble, but it paid off."
"Well it was NO surprise, those two up to no good again." She told Corky what she had made clear to both of them.
"I'm having the Monotac recovered tomorrow. If you could find some suitable punishment for them?"
Corky smiled. "The sludge from the Seispumps needs cleaning through. They should both remain very appealing, sweet smelling Kets after a day spent clearing that lot!"
