[OPEN] Midwinter Masquerade

Characters: EVERYONE
Date: Forward-dated to Friday, December 21st
Location: Water Sector
Situation: Midwinter Masquerade!
Warnings/Rating: None in the entry, please tag your threads accordingly.

It's well into the evening of the Longest Night when guests begin to arrive at the Midwinter Masquerade. The building where it is held, a large and elegant building, sits in the Water sector at the edge of a canal, allowing attendees to arrive by foot, boat, and bicycle drawn carts.

Upon approaching the main entrance, guests are greeted by kedan servers who have been contracted for the event. Dressed in white and silver as Winter spirits and snowy creatures, they greet the guests, stow away their coats, cloaks, and other outerwear, and bid them Joy on the Longest Night.

The theme of their costumes becomes quickly apparent upon entering the main room, for Favrielle has put all of her designing genius toward transforming the it into a wintery palace. Pale white drapes hang over the walls of the room and beneath the ceiling, accented with silvery ribbons to simulate icicles. Indeed, most things in the hall are in whites and silvers. The tables are adorned in white table cloths, and matching napkins hold polished silverware within, tied shut with ribbon.

A set of musicians sit to the side of the dance floor, playing quietly as the guests arrive. The stringed instruments produce sweet sounds of a more classical style that adds to the formality of the occasion and sets the mood for the evening. Indeed, it does little more than that for the first part of the evening, by Favrielle's reckoning, is best spent enjoying the arrival of those in costume. After all, with so many masked it's as much an entertainment to see who is dressed in what, as it is to try and guess their identity.

The more observant or socially networked individual might also notice that while most guests are indeed foreigners, there are a few kedan in attendance as well. Invited by Favrielle herself, these kedan are for the most part friends and associates from their shared industry, as well as some few acquaintances she's made in the Fire sector's red light district. In the tradition of the Night Court however, it is not a night of business dealings, even those from the latter group.

As for the hostess herself, she enters only when it seems as if most other guests are present...


[ooc: Due to RL stuff this is going up early! This should give everyone more time to tag in. The pageant beginning will go up now, however the end will go up on the 21st as planned!]

[That earns Logan a sarcastic eyeroll.]

Wiccan. Young Avenger. Looks exactly like me except dorky with brown hair. Ringing no bells?
alpha_squad_leader: (Sigh)

[personal profile] alpha_squad_leader 2012-12-22 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
It really is but they somehow stay in business.

[She laughs, almost a snort, and very nearly rolls her eyes. For a moment, she's reminded of Percy and his similar food appreciation.]

The food's not going anywhere. You probably don't have to hoard.
crotcharrow: (presents; explaining; happy)

[personal profile] crotcharrow 2012-12-22 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Tommy's really not in the mood to dance, but it feels lie forever since he saw Asami, so he's going to be speeding up behind her, and sliding his hands around her hips so he can spin her, trying to bop with the rhythm of the music. He's terrible at it.]

Pretty girl like you shouldn't be dancing alone.

[he gives her a small smile.] Long time no see Asami.
alpha_squad_leader: (Uhh)

[personal profile] alpha_squad_leader 2012-12-22 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't. The only speedster he really knows had electricity to help with that.]

Then you just tell them you won't do it unless they give you one after. [He doesn't have a problem with a smooch with a speedster of course.]

Is it really that strong? I've had a little of it so far but I've got a healing factor so...
crotcharrow: (eyebrow raise; frog face)

[personal profile] crotcharrow 2012-12-22 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[he finishes his mouthful, lifting a hand to wipe the crumbs off his lips.]

It's for later. With this many people here? Totally not taking my chances.
imlikeabird: ([ ✘ ] Is the answer because you're crazy)

[personal profile] imlikeabird 2012-12-22 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
They're terrible. Stinky cheese, bad accents, terrible parties.

[The last Orlesian party Hawke went to, the host tried to kill him.]

The worst even.
crotcharrow: (eyebrow raise; frog face)

[personal profile] crotcharrow 2012-12-22 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, like that'll happen.

[he laughs.]

Okay, well. Put it this way. I can't get drunk back home because of my crazy high metabolism. Last party I was at here I forgot parts of.
idkmybffcyclops: (I smell bullshit)

[personal profile] idkmybffcyclops 2012-12-22 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Nope.

[And biting on his cigar. You can go away now, Tommy.]
crotcharrow: (molly hat; ..wtf)

[personal profile] crotcharrow 2012-12-22 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[He stares for a moment and then snorts.]

Lemme guess. Different timeline or something?

[you wont get rid of him that easy.]
sophos: (pic#4369078)

[personal profile] sophos 2012-12-22 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
With the amount of people invited, I think it's safe to say they're prepared to feed a lot of mouths. I hope your pockets are clean.
alpha_squad_leader: (Fond Smile)

[personal profile] alpha_squad_leader 2012-12-22 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I've seen that kind of thing happen. It is possible.

[He smiles at the laughter. The information about the drinks gets him giving his glass a wary look.] Huh...thanks for the warning. Not sure I want to be missing parts of the night that way.
crotcharrow: (smug; grin; orly)

[personal profile] crotcharrow 2012-12-22 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Lint never hurt anyone.
backwordscompatible: (I know what this calls for....)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2012-12-22 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Probably because I hear Evil never takes a holiday.

[What has this conversation even turned into?]
idkmybffcyclops: (What is this poo?)

[personal profile] idkmybffcyclops 2012-12-22 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah or something.

[A different continuity all together! And if Tommy is leaving Logan's going to need some more booze.]
sophos: (pic#5312159)

[personal profile] sophos 2012-12-22 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
The taste of said food in said pocket might beg to differ.
crotcharrow: (cough; but we already know that; :|)

[personal profile] crotcharrow 2012-12-22 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
[He scowls a little.]

One where your sideburns are growing into another animal, right?

[petty insults now. you did something to piss this kid off. or a different incarnation did.]
crotcharrow: (cough cough; better than you)

[personal profile] crotcharrow 2012-12-22 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
[he gives a shrug, reaching for a cupcake.]

Like it matters? All going to the same place.
crotcharrow: (do we really look that alike?)

[personal profile] crotcharrow 2012-12-22 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
[He just rolls his eyes at Victor's comment with a smile, and just drops it there.]

Yeah. Nothing like waking up with a bad taste in your mouth and having to play hide and seek with your underwear.
sophos: (pic#4369081)

[personal profile] sophos 2012-12-22 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
To people who care about the taste it probably does. In your case that's a no, so more power to you, I guess.
idkmybffcyclops: (Let's hear you say that after I kick you)

[personal profile] idkmybffcyclops 2012-12-22 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Seriously where is a waiter? Also, shut up, Tommy. Logan's sideburns are awesome.]

I'm not who you're lookin' for. What do you want?
crotcharrow: (eyebrow raise; frog face)

[personal profile] crotcharrow 2012-12-22 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
[he pauses, taking a bit out of the cupcake thoughtfully and chewing, regarding her.]

--Yeah but. This stuff isn't food. Just fuel.

[he holds up the cupcake.] This is food.

[personal profile] alpha_squad_leader 2012-12-22 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Really? I thought they just did it without telling anyone so it was really hard to make plans.

[Victor has no idea.]
alpha_squad_leader: (Default)

[personal profile] alpha_squad_leader 2012-12-22 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Victor actually blushes a little but offers a laugh.]

I'm convinced underwear cheats at that game. Though it may just be the hangover making it seem that way.
backwordscompatible: (THIS much)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2012-12-22 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
If they ever did, it was a really short one.
