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.]

"I know it can be hard to believe," he says, letting her spin away from him before pulling her back in. "But I happen to be very smart. I catch on quick."

That's a lie, he can be very, very stupid at times, but this is a party - let's not talk about that.

"Can you?" She asks in a teasing voice, a grin spreading across her lips. "I hope to see this quickness of yours, someday."

He makes a bit of a mock-offended face at that. "Ouch. That stings a little. Watch where you're throwing those things."

She smirks, speaking in faux concern now. "Oh no, did I hurt your delicate feelings?"

"Yes. Yes, you did." No you didn't, he's just playing along. "I may have to go drown my sorrows, if that's what you really think of me."

"Oh, well, we wouldn't want that," She concedes, continuing to play along. "Surely there's something I can do to make it up to you."

Stefan makes a face like he's thinking, not breaking character as he leads her into another spin. "I'll have to think about it. I'm not sure if my wounded ego can be appeased."

"Well, tell me if you think of anything. I'd hate to think it's unfixable," she muses with another grin.

He smiles back at that, before nodding. "If I do, you'll be the first to know."

"Good." And with that they'll enjoy the rest of their dance.
