[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!]

Probably because I hear Evil never takes a holiday.

[What has this conversation even turned into?]

[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.]
backwordscompatible: (THIS much)

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

[personal profile] alpha_squad_leader 2012-12-22 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Vic laughs a bit.] Maybe that 'no rest for the wicked' saying really is true then.
backwordscompatible: (Rude much?)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2012-12-22 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
Which means no rest for any of us, either.
alpha_squad_leader: (Profile)

[personal profile] alpha_squad_leader 2012-12-22 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know, we're kind of resting now. We just have to work harder for our rest and relaxation.
backwordscompatible: (Be as -chalant- as you like)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2012-12-22 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Well, sure. Now.

None of the bad guys I know have showed up here. [Yet.]

[...]

[...Lex doesn't count. He was a fairly minor villain on Earth-16.]
alpha_squad_leader: (Smiling)

[personal profile] alpha_squad_leader 2012-12-22 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, when they show up we'll be well rested and ready to deal with them. I think we have them outnumbered too.
backwordscompatible: (Girls Night Out?)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2012-12-22 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Zatanna's just....going to refrain from mentioning the thought of certain bad guys already being here. Now was not the time to dwell on things.]

Right.

We already have Batman and Superman. Those two alone could probably take down most anyone.
alpha_squad_leader: (Tongue)

[personal profile] alpha_squad_leader 2012-12-22 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Batman? Is he related to Batgirl or is one of them just borrowing the naming theme?

I'll have to see Superman in action sometime. I keep hearing so much about him.
backwordscompatible: (Hi there!)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2012-12-22 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
I couldn't even begin to tell you. There was no Batgirl in my world. [Yet]
alpha_squad_leader: (Profile)

[personal profile] alpha_squad_leader 2012-12-22 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods.] We only had a guy named Batwing back home but he was kind of...a giant bat like I'm all green and lizardy.
backwordscompatible: (umm...okay?)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2012-12-22 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Your world is pretty literal, isn't it?
alpha_squad_leader: (Default)

[personal profile] alpha_squad_leader 2012-12-22 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
It can be, yeah. But then we have guys like Spider-Man who thankfully isn't a giant spider.

alpha_squad_leader: (Fond Smile)

[personal profile] alpha_squad_leader 2012-12-22 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
He's an awesome hero. One of the best my world's got. He has some spider-like powers but he's not all...spider-like in appearance.

[Yes, Vic is a Spider-Man fan.]
backwordscompatible: (Explaining)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2012-12-22 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[She never would've guessed.]

So basically there's some literal in there too.

Is he here?
alpha_squad_leader: (Profile)

[personal profile] alpha_squad_leader 2012-12-22 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
A little, yeah.

I don't think so. At least if he is, I haven't seen him yet.
backwordscompatible: (serene)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2012-12-22 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
He's probably better off.

Not that this place hasn't been surprisingly fun. [Just...they were kinda stuck.]
alpha_squad_leader: (On the Ceiling)

[personal profile] alpha_squad_leader 2012-12-22 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Agreed. As nice as this place is compared to other alternate dimensions I've ended up in, the whole being stuck thing kinda sucks.
backwordscompatible: (admiration)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2012-12-22 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
It does.

The company makes it almost worth it, though.
alpha_squad_leader: (Fond Smile)

[personal profile] alpha_squad_leader 2012-12-22 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I've met some great people here too. Yourself included.
backwordscompatible: (innocent smile)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2012-12-22 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
That's sweet of you to say.
alpha_squad_leader: (Default)

[personal profile] alpha_squad_leader 2012-12-22 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
[He offers a smile.]

It's the truth.
backwordscompatible: (smirk)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2012-12-22 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, that reminds me...speaking of Santo--[As they were before]--did he ever end up asking that girl to be his date, or did you two come together?
