The more he tried to picture them, the more difficult it became, so he gave UP on that because it was starting to make his brain hurt. Nothing wrong with playing along, RIGHT?

Toby's first stop was, naturally, the food table. Hogwarts always tended to push the boat out for activities like this, and he was absolutely prepared to eat until he could no longer move. And maybe he'd find Soph here. She liked food too, right? Or... did she?

Perhaps because he was so distracted by trying to remember that, or perhaps it was the sudden view of the FOOD that had diverted his attention, but Toby suddenly found himself almost about to walk smack bang into someone else. ALMOST.

He stopped himself just in time, and took a couple of quick half steps back. "Sorry, my bad," Toby said, though he actually had collided into the other person. "I was... distracted." By food. Absolutely the food. It was close by now and looking nothing short of resplendent. "... Cool mask."

Mildly terrifying. But cool. NOW... was this someone he knew, or was it better to just not even ponder that question?
So far this party was a bust. He couldn't even recognize his friends. What was the point of being The Musketeers if the other Musketeers didn't recognize you? Now he was just The Musketeer..

All for one and one for all had a new meaning to it now, didn't it?

Meh, he thought maybe he'd leave. Go find something else fun to do. It was a big place and he was dressed like Athos for the love of all good and magical. But then someone seemed to bump into him and he was doing his best not to flip out.

What if this was someone he liked and acted like a complete jerk to? Nah he couldn't risk that. Nemo had few enough friends as it was. "It's fine. Masks back it a bit tough to see where you're going." At least he assumed. He hadn't bumped into anything, or anyone for that matter. Who was this klutz?

Oh, well he liked Nemo's mask. Maybe he wasn't an utter fool. "Thank you, You have good taste. I like yours. Very ornate." Ornate was a word he liked therefore this was a compliment. A boring mask would mean a boring person was hiding behind it. By this rule an Ornate mask meant you must be interesting. Most people always said not to judge a book by its cover but the synopsis is usually on the back of a book, so why not assume the cover has some things you'd need to know?
