People started pouring in by two in the afternoon. Along with it, the howls of the crowd mixed with booming music signifies the start of a party.
Ty waded through the crowd. He got that occasional looks of awe and amazement. Some tried to ask him to take a picture of his cosplay. Ty felt happy that he's getting attention for once.
Amudst the growing crowd, Ty saw multiple groups of people he want to mingle with. In the corner was his friends Nate and Keith. Nate was dressed in cozy sand-colored shirt with a dessert scarf wrapped around his neck. As for Keith, he was dressed in light futuristic armor. It looks like the two of them weren't having that much fun.
In the middle of the dance area, Dylan is getting everyone's attention. He was just dressed in diapers with a sash that says "New Year Baby". And it's not even remotely close to January yet. It seems that the costume was just an excuse to show off his bod.
On the other hand, there's a suspicious group lounging by the pool. They don't have any costumes. But from the tacky clothes they are wearing, it seems that they do have one. Also, Ty realized that he hasn't seen their faces around town. Probably people from other places.
There are other groups Ty can mingle with. And the thought of creating clones of himself doesn't bid him good either. He can only choose one.
