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.

It is a masquerade.

[ and while he enjoys the ferreting out of secrets and whatnot, he rather not turn his theatre into some sort of spy fest. ]

But Venetian masks only hide people’s identity in movies. You can still figure out who they are.

[ Tim gives Loki a small smile and a shrug. ]

I could introduce myself to the same person three times and not know.

Yes. And for some, that anonymity can be a boon. A chance for something real and new.

That's not so terrible, is it?

Yes, it is!

[ But he’s laughing. ]

There’s already too much real and new in my life. I’d like a less exciting night out where I can talk to people I’ll remember tomorrow, who aren’t busy playing host to a lot of annoying guests who look gift horses in the mouth.

[ loki looks perplexed. ]

Then why come?

Honestly?

[ Of course honestly, he’s not stupid enough to answer the God of Lies with a lie. He is willing to joke, though. ]

If I don’t do something “normal” every so often, I run the risk of my friends kidnapping me to make sure I don’t fuse to my computer chair through the power of Red Bull.

[ ah. loki doesn't quite grasp that because he's never had that kind of friendship, but he simply nods. ]

I hardly think this is a normal gathering. The Alliance wanted something for PR reasons, and asked me to facilitate.

[ At this, Tim perks up like a fanboy. ]

You’re doing this for Alliance PR? Do you think Fantastic is here?

[ You know. For reasons that definitely don’t include hate watching him. ]

[ loki blinks, perplexed. ]

He might be. This is an open gathering.

Except I can’t spot him, because you enchanted all the masks.

[ Thanks Loki. ]

Is this incognito mode party an Asgardian concept or an Alliance idea?

It was my idea. It would have been no fun otherwise.

I wouldn’t have thought it was your idea. Doesn’t it negate the PR opportunity if no one can tell who the heroes are?

[ Asking the real questions here. ]

Or does it not work on video and pics?

This theatre is financed by the Alliance. Hence, it is good PR for them that the doors are open to the public and being charitable.

And my magic works perfectly on technology. My illusions are not so easily defeated.

[ Aw, rats. There goes that idea. ]

My mistake, I thought it was solely your endeavour.

[ He knows there have been fundraisers, but accepting funding from the Alliance might have strings. Maybe he should take a magic mask. ]

I’ve heard you’re one of the best. Does the rule about never revealing another magician’s secrets still apply if the magic is real?

[ loki shrugs, bemused. ]

You're welcome to try. But it does need an understanding of advanced magic and gods.

Then I’ll have to find one willing to tutor me.

No doubt there are plenty of teachers around.

No doubt the teachers would want to teach someone for a valid reason, not just to satisfy my curiosity.

[ But he feels like this might be Loki laying the groundwork for a gracious exit from the conversation, to continue mingling like a good host. Tim can assist with that. ]

I suppose I could make a few new friends rather than looking for old ones. Maybe I'll find some unemployed magical tutor.

Satisfaction of curiosity is a perfectly good reason to learn.

[ at least it's good enough for loki. ]

There's bound to be someone who can teach mortals. I'm afraid I wouldn't know where to begin.
