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 ([plurk.com profile] iluvroadrunner6) and I will give you a scenario. Otherwise, mix, mingle and have fun with all the pretty formal wear. o7 Actionspam/prose/whatever floats your boat for this, it was easier to just write up the top part in prose.]

[ he flinches visibly upon being snapped out of his curious daze, bumping into the table behind him. if usagi's paying attention, she'll notice the candles that are lit in the room coincidentally flared up for the briefest of seconds as he flinched. ]

Sorry! Sorry.

[She does notice the candles flicker for a moment. Weird. But there's all sorts of people here, aren't there? Some with abilities she's never seen before -- she even met an Angel the other day.]

It's fine! You don't need to apologize.

[He didn't really do anything wrong.]

[ he was staring at her hair. that was rude and intrusive and something that could've been easily misinterpreted for something else. of course he was going to apologize. ]

People don't have hair like yours where I'm from. The color, I mean. We have yellow eyes, [ like his own golden pair ] but not hair.

Really? [That's so interesting!!]

I've never heard of a world without blondes before.

[ blonde was a term used to describe an ostrich-horse's feathers or a badgerfrog's winter coat. not a person's hair. ]

Really.

That's kind of weird. [Then again one of Usagi's best friends has blue hair and her daughter has pink hair -- she obviously is used to some weird hair colors.]

This whole ship is full of weird things. [ zuko remarks, crossing his arms. ] What else is new?

Not all of it is bad though! Some of it's really fun and interesting.

[Especially when she finds rooms full of food. or video games.]
