party post } { fool and king, ghoul and ghost
On the evening of the twenty-ninth, the ballroom on the main deck of the boat is decked out in lavish black and gold, thanks to Carol and Sophie, and the assistance of the very strong men they enlisted to help (thank you, boys). It's been a while since Carol has thrown a full out ball, and she liked the chance to stretch her event planning limbs again, even if those attending are mostly the ghost robots in their cater waiter wear.
A soft music is playing over the guests as they enter. As they pass through the threshold, there's a table with simple masks for them to choose from, in case they've forgotten their's. Once they pass through the main archway, they'll find their way to the large dance space where the ghost robot band is sitting, because live music is so much better than a recording, and they actually don't sound half-bad, all things considered. They also take requests, so feel free to tell them that song where you always wondered what it would sound like with a full orchestral backing. There's a large, expansive dance floor in the middle, and you're welcome to get out there and shake your groove thing whenever you see fit.
Tables with food line the far left wall of the room, as well as clusters of tables for the guests to sit when they so choose. There's also an open bar nestled into the far corner, for all your alcoholic needs. There are also plenty of dark corners to slip into, if you don't want anyone to see what you're doing, however the narration suggests watching those dark corners carefully. Rabbit holes lurk in pretty much every shadowed area of the ballroom and while they won't always drop you into a strange location of your choosing, there's a high chance they will. There's probably a high turnover of people arriving back in the ballroom, looking like they've gone five rounds with a bull.
Probably because they have.
The boat seem to want to promote this event as much as possible. While not everyone loves a good ball, some non-attenders may suddenly find themselves in attendance, completely dressed and no idea of how they got there. Trying to leave? Might not go so well either. For some, socializing isn't so much a choice as a punishment, but there are probably plenty of people to help you have a good time.
Or you could go on a trip to Narnia. One never really knows.
[OKAY BALL IS GO sorry I was late getting this up. Rabbit Holes are to be used at your discretion, but if you need suggestions or want me to randomize something for you, just shoot me a PM/private plurk/ping me (

Exactly. The few people that do know about my species? They... created an organization, which exists to try to hunt us down, to strip us of our powers, kill us, experiment on us, or turn us into agents.
[it's an organization that john was once apart of. it's one he defected from, and now he is trying to help people like him to stay protected and safe. he's responsible for them, and he isn't going to let them down.
even though he is aware that he already has with all of his secrets and betrayals that have come to light.]

[ it's a question in the form of a statement. mamoru doesn't want to assume, but he often does. it's his intuition, that part of his abilities that he still hasn't quite settled into telling him that something is one way or another, that something is coming, etc. keeping an open mind is sometimes difficult when you already know what's behind door #1 whether you wanted to or not. ]
It's good you're here and not there if that's the case. Nobody seems to be prejudiced against those with powers like yourself from what I've seen.
[ like mamoru himself, too, but with a secret identity comes powers that remain secret, too. ]
no subject
[john is close to being human. some would say that he and the people like him are the next step in evolution from human, but... he isn't human. he has been told again and again that he isn't human, and he should never expect human beings to accept him.
not ever.]
Thank you. It's... very good that I'm here as opposed to there. I'm relieved to not have to worry about it for once, even if I feel like I shouldn't let my guard down.
[no matter how safe it feels here. maybe he is reckless enough at the moment to not care too much.]
no subject
You shouldn't. None of us should. We can't forget that we haven't willingly gone on a cruise. We're not here because we want to be, no matter how nice it may be to be here in comparison to where we were.
no subject
[john folds his arms across his chest with a little smirk that is nearly amused himself despite the situation, despite... everything. it is good to talk to people who agree with him where that is concerned.
this is not normal.]
no subject
[ whoever they were, he had a distinct feeling they weren't good. he hated when he had those kinds of feelings. ]
no subject
[for all of them to know, which is more than a little unsettling.]
no subject
[ whoever 'they' is, he can't say. all he knows is that they aren't ready. they're far from ready. it sucks, knowing that you can't know. ]
