[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!]

no subject
It's fun and a learning experience. Have you been at it a while?
no subject
Tonight? For about an hour or two. Overall? I had my first proper lesson when I was about sixteen, but I never really got to do much dancing aside from that.
no subject
[Peggy chuckles a little.] I did mean tonight, but actual lessons is a bit more than I had. I sort of learned on my own. I used to drag friends out all the time.
no subject
I'm afraid to say dancing like this has gone out of style if you're not at a very fancy gala or something. [Which is why Alfred taught most of the Bats how to ballroom dance.]
no subject
[A quick glance around.] Oh, it's not the only sort of dancing I enjoy. I'm quite fond of more fast pace things, as well.
no subject
Well, you might have better luck finding facce pace things, but partner dancing in general isn't all that popular anymore.
[alas!
Or maybe Steph just spent too much time in clubs]
no subject
That's a bit unfortunate. [Even if she can appreciate change and group dancing.] Though not immediately horrible to hear. What is popular then?
no subject
Um... I'm actually not sure how to describe it. In a club it tends to just be everyone pressed up against each other but doing their own thing.
no subject
[Peggy's not sure she quite has the mental picture, but it's kind of there.] Interesting, to say the least.
no subject
I'll give you a demonstration some time. [Maybe she'll rope Steve into being a volunteer to dirty dance with, the look on his face would be worth a million dollars.] Until then, maybe I can be a dancing partner who you don't have to teach too much?
[yes she's asking Peggy to dance, what of it.]
no subject
[There's something in the way Steph offers the first demonstration that strikes Peggy a little mischievous.]
[But she grins at the second offer.] I should warn you, I have a tendency to lead.
[And that's a yes!]
no subject
[Whether she's responding to the first or second comment will remain a mystery forever. She steps closer, grinning a little as she puts a hand on Peggy's shoulder, holding out her other hand for Peggy to take so obviously she has no problem with letting the other woman lead.]
I think the music's fast enough for a quickstep? [She's mostly just been waltzing, because it's simple and easier to teach, but she figures she might as well have a bit more fun with Peggy.]
no subject
Apologies if I trip over my own skirt. I'm not used to something so long.
no subject
I promise not to hold it against you. I can't say I'm used to them, either.
[skirts how???]
no subject
[A pause as she spins them.] I prefer mine a lot shorter. But maneuverability is usually the biggest priority.
[Up to the knees is short okok.]
no subject
[Aside from... right now, obviously. She wore a dress to her party, but she thinks dresses are different.]
no subject
They're a bit standard uniformly, unless in a combat situation or training. I don't mind them, but I have to like them. Though I'm glad to see trousers are more common for women beyond work related requirements.
[Because damn they were more useful at times.]
no subject
I can't imagine having to wear skirts during a war. [Especially when the uniform skrits tended toward pencil skirts, which Steph finds restricting] Being able to wear trousers definitely makes life easier.
no subject
Planning and at base usually meant a skirt. But not out in the field, unless it was the sort of mission that needed it. [You know like playing maid in Red Skull's mansion.]
no subject
What if you needed to kick someone the face while on base? [IT MIGHT HAPPEN. Not that she doubts Peggy's ability to manage such tasks while wearing a skirt]
no subject
I've perfected that. [She's not even joking.] But I do usually prefer punching.
[Whoops another small spin in time with the music.]
no subject
You're my hero. [Not even kidding.
And the spin makes her grin even more.]
no subject
[Steph is probably one of the only people she'd actually talk about her relationship with Steve in some capacity with.]
[But the hero remark is flattering.] Someone has to do it.
no subject
[Steph is terrible and has zero regrets]
I couldn't have picked anyone better. [As much as she's still joking around, there's genuine fondness in her tone and smile; she does like Peggy a lot.]
no subject
[And that's... probably the last she'll say on the matter SHE CAN'T BELIEVE SHE EVEN SAID THAT.]
[But even if they are half joking about it, she can hear the honesty in Steph's voice, and her return smile is absolutely genuine.] Far be it from me to disappoint you. Or myself.
[She'd be her own hero, if she had to.]
