[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!]

[Logan is only here because the food and drink are free. He's got a fight tonight, so he doesn't intend to stick around for very long. In fact, he's stolen away into a private alcove to chuck away his mask and eat.]
crotcharrow: (unsure; i know where this is going)

[personal profile] crotcharrow 2012-12-19 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's the only reason that Tommy's here too, and he's quite obviously got a lot of the hors d'oeuvres stuffed into the pockets of his tuxedo as he wanders past Logan's alcove, the man catching his eye. He pauses, unsure if he should go over or not, but it's sort of obvious that he's looking at Logan.]
idkmybffcyclops: (bite my shiny metal ass)

[personal profile] idkmybffcyclops 2012-12-19 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Logan doesn't care much for being stared at. And he tries to ignore Tommy, he really does. Cause he's just a kid whose parents never taught him not to stare at strangers. So Logan should be patient.]

What're you lookin' at, kid?

[Not patient enough. He'll work on it.]
crotcharrow: (molly hat; ..wtf)

[personal profile] crotcharrow 2012-12-19 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tommy scrunches his nose up and crosses his hands over his chest.]

Your stupid face.
idkmybffcyclops: (This is me time)

[personal profile] idkmybffcyclops 2012-12-20 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
[If Logan's feathers are rustled by that comment, he doesn't show it. Instead, he downs his glass of joie.]

Do yourself a favor and get lost.
crotcharrow: (what's the point; do not want)

[personal profile] crotcharrow 2012-12-20 11:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Tommy shows no sign of moving.]

You really don't remember me, do you?
idkmybffcyclops: (What is this poo?)

[personal profile] idkmybffcyclops 2012-12-21 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Logan pats down his pockets until he finds a cigar.]

M'supposed to?
crotcharrow: (civvies; scowl; yeah right)

[personal profile] crotcharrow 2012-12-22 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Tommy looks a little irritated at that.]

Uh. Yeah? Since you threatened to kill my brother?
idkmybffcyclops: (You are a weirdy)

[personal profile] idkmybffcyclops 2012-12-22 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Kid, I've threatened to kill a lot of people. You're gonna have to be more specific.
crotcharrow: (cough; but we already know that; :|)

[personal profile] crotcharrow 2012-12-22 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
[That earns Logan a sarcastic eyeroll.]

Wiccan. Young Avenger. Looks exactly like me except dorky with brown hair. Ringing no bells?
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.]
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.]
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.]
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: (unsure; i know where this is going)

[personal profile] crotcharrow 2013-01-07 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[No. They really aren't. He scrunches up his nose, and gives a short shrug. He's not even sure why he's antagonising Logan. It's making him feel better, but not as much as the actual one would. Since, y'know. This one has no idea what he's talking about.

He can't believe he thought this guy was cool at one point.]


From you? Nothing.
idkmybffcyclops: (My liver is just fine thanks)

[personal profile] idkmybffcyclops 2013-01-11 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Then why're you still here?

[Jesus, children. Whoever thought Logan went well with children, have obviously never met him.]
crotcharrow: (..well shit; billy don't forget me)

[personal profile] crotcharrow 2013-01-11 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[He pauses.]

Fuck if I know.

[BYE WOLVERINE. I'm going brood about you being a dick over here.]
storm_warning: (Classy lady)

[personal profile] storm_warning 2013-01-02 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ororo finds him mainly because she's been looking for him. They had a rocky start and his fixation on Creed's been on her mind, for one. For two, he's still Wolverine and that makes him an X-Man. She supposes it's kind of her duty to keep them together, since she was here first -- it's lame and she won't admit it's because she misses being around the team.

When she does find him, her first reaction's to put her hands on her hips and arch an eyebrow.]


You're being a real belle of the ball, Wolverine.
idkmybffcyclops: (I smell bullshit)

[personal profile] idkmybffcyclops 2013-01-02 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ever since meeting Charles, Logan has been reconsidering his conversation with Ororo. Charles didn't strike him as the type to work with a man like Stryker. He wasn't sleazy. But even his opinion was changing, that didn't mean he was up for finding Ororo and apologizing for his assumptions.

In fact this is the first time he's spoken to her since their last conversation.]


My name is Logan.
storm_warning: (Explain it for the newbs?)

[personal profile] storm_warning 2013-01-03 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Ororo will never get used to a Wolverine that prefers his actual name, but then again... the Wolverine she knows built a solid reputation as a mercenary under that branding and a businessman's always got to be about the branding, right?

Still, after all her insistence about the Creed thing, maybe she should cut him some slack here.]


Fine, Logan. [It's weird calling him that, but okay.] What're you even doing here? You've never struck me as a real social butterfly.
idkmybffcyclops: (This is me time)

[personal profile] idkmybffcyclops 2013-01-11 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's still touchy for Logan. Kayla gave him that name and it's not something he wants to share just yet. Maybe later, when he's worked through everything. But for now, it's just something he wants to keep close to the vest.]

Food's free. Booze's free. Don't need any other reason.

[There's also a reason he's tucked away here in this corner.]
