~MASQUERADE BALL~

[resonantblue]

Who: Everyone!
Where: The Lobby
When: Day 168, evening

[Good evening, everyone—the lobby has been transformed into a ballroom as foretold by the totally mysterious masquerade invitations going around yesterday!

The lobby has been vacated of most of the furniture, making way for a large dance floor. The walls are decorated with heavy cloth that has been hung and tied to resemble curtains; on the highest point of the back wall is a large, fake clock face with its hands frozen at the midnight hour.

A low fog clings to the dance floor and the color-changing cube lights from FiN's dorm have been set around to cast a slow-but-steady cycle of colors, giving the dance floor an interesting effect and bringing subtle color to the white cloths of the tables off to the side.

Among said tables, along the back wall, is a long buffet table consisting of a wide assortment of food and drinks—punch bowl, appetizers, meals, desserts; fish, red, vegetarian, YOU NAME IT AND IT'S PROBABLY HERE!

In one corner of the ballroom is a "photo booth"—an especially curtained/clocked corner done up for the sake of catching a Very Themed photo with the polaroid camera that's set-up. Thanks for the inspiration, maid cafe.

And in the opposite corner of the ballroom is a small tiered table—the top tier consists of a large cloched cake, and the main tier holds an assortment of wrapped gifts. If you want to drop off your own, there's room! More noticeably is a large, gold statue of a cute winged sheep sitting right by this set-up on the floor. Wowee!

Last, but not least, fancy instrumental music to set the mood for a dance in this masquerade is playing in the background.]

[Hair up in a loose bun and dressed in a long, pale gown, accessorized with a chainmail armlet and a golden mask--as though it's hard to tell who it is. She lounges off to the side, thumbs hooked in her pockets (because of course her dress has pockets)]

...Not a bad crowd.

[stakesthesame]

[ there's a smooth, low voice muttering close to her ear, from behind. ]

Hey, kitten. Who you dressin' up for tonight?

[unbr8kable]

Not seeing how that's anybody's business but my own...?

[Immediately turns up the voltage on her palm, though she steps away and pivots to see what she's dealing with before going straight into taser time]

[stakesthesame]

[ ffffreezes, hearing that slight buzz, but keeps a steady face and stays still as she turns. ]

Dunno, ain't there at least someone else who'd be willing to find out?

[unbr8kable]

[Narrows her eyes...well, low-key squints, actually. What a time not to wear her glasses]

You volunteering? How selfless, lucky me.

[stakesthesame]

[ watches her for a bit, brows raising, amused. ]

I'll say. Who wouldn't want to bask in my incredible looks and glorious vocals?

[unbr8kable]

Can't imagine. I mean, seems silly to even ask me about it, dontcha think?

[stakesthesame]

Yeah.

[ holding a hand out. ]

So you should dance with me, Kitty.

[unbr8kable]

[Stares at him, neurons slowly firing--leans in for a closer look because her vision really is not great,]

...Marceline...?

[stakesthesame]

How many other pink-haired, grey-skinned vampire weirdos you know, baby? Should I be jealous?

Maybe you should shut that thing off though. [the taserhand. ]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Cat calling. Of course!

Please be nemesis please be nemesis]

[unbr8kable]

[Flicks him off, of course

(cheeks a little dark)]

Wow, chivalry really is dead!

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Let's out an internal sigh of relief and comes up next to her.]

Come on. You like the bad boys.

That really does look good on you. Huh. I should have tried harder.

[unbr8kable]

Me? But I'm so pure, like the newfallen snow.

[Smiles innocently as he approaches]

And we can always trade. You could pull this off better, I bet.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Get me enough alcohol, and I will absolutely fucking swap with you.

[unbr8kable]

You know you were a beautiful blushing bride not so long ago. You don't have to deny yourself to the world.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

I see. I see how it is. You just want a peep show.

[unbr8kable]

It's all your bulging muscles, I just can't get enough. What can you expect a girl to do?

[we_meet_again]

[wearing this]

It's a nice change of pace, isn't it!

[unbr8kable]

Yeah, guess so. You look exotic.

[we_meet_again]

You look quite dashing, yourself!

Are you having a nice time?

[unbr8kable]

[Shrug]

Had worse times. You? They got a good spread at least.

[we_meet_again]

That they certainly do! I'm gonna try one of everything!

[unbr8kable]

You mean you haven't already? What if you lose track?

[we_meet_again]

Guess I'd have to start over, oh no!
