Event | Masquerade Ball

Characters: All
Date: The Evening of October 30th
Location: The Courtyard of Public Opinion
Situation: Valdis and 'Rue' have put together an All Hallows Eve Masquerade Ball.
Warnings/Rating: None

The day has finally arrived and the morning and afternoon are spent putting together what will be the scene of the Masquerade Ball at the Courtyard of Public Opinion. Kedan can be seen coming and going, carrying in decorations and lights and later on, various foods and desserts. Valdis, and Rue can occasionally be glimpsed directing people and moving things around, but anyone not a part of the setup will be ushered on and discouraged from lingering.

As night falls, the Courtyard will be brightly lit and ready for guests...

Yes, yes they are

Bakura sipped at his drink, though his gaze followed Valdis to and from the table. "I wasn't going to," he replied. "But I was asked."
denyamenti: (flashes afar on the wayward stream)

hopefully!

There's just a bit longer of a pause than there usually would have been to form that answer, and Bakura answers, "I arrived with Pepper." It's a careful rephrasing, which she can interpret as she wishes.

"She is," he agreed, before glancing sidelong at Valdis. "And your date, is that Rue? You did manage to pick the loudest and most noticeable Foreigner for a partner."

Immediately realizing that he'd perhaps strayed into territory which never ended well when spoken of -- and knowing that Vergil was Dante's brother -- Bakura only inclined his head as if to say that he didn't intend to press.

"Everyone seems to be having a good time. Likely they needed this, after recent events."
denyamenti: (i'd never come upon the happiness)

That's not difficult body language to read, and Bakura supposes he's earned that measure of -- metaphorical and not -- raised hackles with his past transgressions, not the least of which were in the same topic vein. So he says nothing to address it, only accepts the premise of the suspicion as valid.

"Nice," he echoed. "Some of the costumes are quite impressive."

"She picked out the whole thing," he elaborated, nimble fingers of his free hand tracing the hieroglyphs at the sleeve cuff for a moment before settling once again. "I think she meant it as a birthday gift, but gave it to me for attendance here."
denyamenti: (that used to believe at least)

And it didn't even come with a threat attached to it, he wants to say, although that much, he knows better not to.

"More than you realize," he replied instead. "It's very personalized."

Not just with his name in hieroglyphics, but Diabound's as well.

"I'll pass, thank you," he said, mostly sure she wasn't mocking him. "I don't know how. Enjoy your party, khapshemet."
