Who: Everyone!
What: Masquerade Ball
When: 17th of October
Where: The Opherium
Content Warnings: N/A

[ Much like Loki's last party-venture, this is set up very much in the same vein. a large ballroom for dancing needs. Tables and waiters passing around hors d'oeuvres and drinks. At the entrance of the ball room, there’s a fancy mask waiting for you if you don’t have one already. There’s a strict dress code for the event this time and Loki expects everyone to dress accordingly.

The masks also have a spell attached to them. They’ll afford you complete privacy. No one will recognize you under the mask. Unless, of course, you take it off and let them know. Perfect for the party guest who may want to indulge without causing a fuss. Hit up a partner and see where the evening takes you.

This event wouldn’t be complete without candy, of course. There are candies arranged on the tables in all types and colors. In front of them is a small description regarding each kind of candy. Be sure to read them carefully, as Loki has added a little . . . extra to the sweets, to give them a little . . . zing. ]

🍫 White Chocolate: For those who needs a little honesty ( truth effect )

🍷 Alcoholic Chocolate: For those who need to loosen up ( slight aphro effects, please mark headers accordingly and communicate! )

🍬 Sour Candy: For those who are tired of being nice ( shorter tempers )

🍓 Fruit Candy: For those who need to open up ( increased generosity )

If you have a question or comment to direct at the host, Loki is by the entrance dressed in red and gold with a mask to boot. he’s instantly recognizable, compared to the masked attendees. ]

Welcome.

[Korg is a giant made out of rocks and no one has realised it. Instead he just looks like a tall man dressed in white with one of the free masks. There's a thrill at seeing how good he is at disguises.]

I bet you can't tell who I am.

[There is no attempt made at disguising his voice, but his disguise is so good he doesn't need to.]

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth is making no effort to disguise himself, although normally even he would not stand out more than a rock giant. He looks the stranger over.]

...no. Are we acquainted?

[Or does he mean the "costume"? It's just a white suit, isn't it?]

[beatscissors]

Hello there, I don't believe we are acquainted. However I'm something of a streamer so maybe you've seen me there before.

[Except his current appearance does not match reality so that's out.]

[unkindled_madness]

...a streamer is one of those people who creates videos for the internet?

[Yeah, probably he hasn't. He's still working on his internet vocabulary.]

[beatscissors]

Yeah, yeah. I play games and other people watch. It's pretty cool except the times someone decides to say something mean. Then that's less cool.

[unkindled_madness]

[Other people... watch him play games. He's not sure he understands the appeal, but this is clearly an area where he's lacking knowledge.]

...one can't avoid trolls, I suppose. [He literally learned what trolls were about 30 minutes ago.]

Do you do this as a profession, or a hobby?

[beatscissors]

[That's why he has his mods take care of those people. Loki is very good at it.]

It's really more a monetised hobby, akin to busking but entirely online.

[unkindled_madness]

I see. [That's a really helpful comparison, actually.]

I appreciate your explaining it.

[beatscissors]

It's nothing. The world would be a much better place if we weren't afraid to ask questions.

[He thinks about it for a bit.]

Not sure that Thanos guy had any questions he wanted answered.

[unkindled_madness]

[That name definitely catches his attention.]

You're familiar with Thanos?

[beatscissors]

Yeah, he's the dickhead who got rid of half the universe.

[dothelokimotion]

[ that voice is familiar. ]

Is that so?

[beatscissors]

Psst. Psst. Loki, it's me! Korg!

I bet you wouldn't have known if I didn't say that, ay?

[dothelokimotion]

Korg, I made these masks. Remember? It's my magic.

[beatscissors]

Does that mean you see things differently?

[He looks down at himself.]

[dothelokimotion]

Obviously. You can't use my own magic to trick me.

[beatscissors]

That's kind of stink, setting this all up and not being able to participate properly.

[dothelokimotion]

Oh, it still works. It simply would not work on me.

[beatscissors]

What if I put on another disguise?

[He picks up some of the cards used to label the candy and wields them like scissors.]

I could be Miek now.

[dothelokimotion]

That's . . . not how it works.

[beatscissors]

Who knows how magic works?

[Ignore the fact that magic is Loki's thing.]

[hevenly]

[ Angela is of course here, working security, dressed in a gold gown and matching mask. The mask conceals the fact that she has been stuck in her minotaur form for this entire month.

She regards the tall man in white with a suspicious eye. ]

No, I cannot. Who are you?

[ She's the security guard, she needs to know if anyone dangerous is trying to infiltrate the gala. ]

[beatscissors]

[What are the chances that two people with non-human appearances would be taking advantage of their inability to be recognised?]

Telling you straight away would defeat the purpose of these masks.

[He grins.]

That's why you should guess.

[hevenly]

Your voice is not known to me. Any guess I may have would be fruitless.

[ And so, she will not be guessing. ]

[beatscissors]

Ooh ooh, what if I give you a hint?

[He brings his hands together to make a gesture suggesting something round and large. No, it's not an offensive gesture, he's a mcu character.]
