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.

( that voice, he totally knows that voice. god, just once, he'd like to have an interaction with this dude that's normal even by meta standards. )

...Would you believe me if I said I don't know?

[unkindled_madness]

[At least Sephiroth is doing him the favor(?) of not calling attention to his predicament. He's just standing near the table like it's perfectly normal to have a conversation with someone underneath it.

It's not.]

You must have some supposition.

[frenchkissed]

I suppose I might've blacked out, took all my clothes off, and ate a small child, if you want the truth.

( eddie doesn't even need the Truth Candy to share and concerning amount of information at any given moment. )

...You see anything like that?

[unkindled_madness]

I don't believe I've seen any small children for you to have eaten, if that helps.

Do you often black out?

[frenchkissed]

( it helps a lot, actually. )

Uh, no? Not really... Never, actually. I mean, I don't think so? But I think the point of blacking out is the fact that you don't remember that you blacked out, so...

[unkindled_madness]

Well, you have recognized a gap in your memories.

How are you feeling now?

[frenchkissed]

Cold, for starters.
Hairy.
Bloated.
Tired.

...

Par for the course for being naked and also coming up on 37.

[unkindled_madness]

...then hopefully whatever the cause, it has passed.

[He doesn't have any spare pants, but he will shrug out of his long tunic/vest and pass it beneath the table. The wings are attached, so, guess he gets to be a dragon for a little bit.]

This is a theatre. We can likely find pants among the costumes.

[frenchkissed]

( eddie takes the tunic, and he's seriously so fine with being a dragon; you won't get any complaints out of him. )

Thanks, man... Sorry for hijacking your jacket. It's... cool, actually. Wings were a nice touch.

[unkindled_madness]

They seemed necessary to complete the costume.

[frenchkissed]

Dragon?

Dope.

Me and Ripley sort of came as... Oh, God, Ripley.

Did we eat Ripley??

[unkindled_madness]

Who is Ripley?

[frenchkissed]

Our friend slash roommate who we occasionally have the overwhelming urge to cuddle. I'd say it's complicated, but it's really not... Did we kill him?

[unkindled_madness]

Hm.

[It sounds like a perfectly normal arrangement to Sephiroth.]

I would venture that he's larger than a small child. [If that's what Eddie feels like he ate. He glances out at the ballroom.] Do you see him?

[frenchkissed]

( eddie peaks out from beneath the table, half-covered in a dragon costume. it's a little dark, and the angle is low, but he's sure he'd know ripley if he saw him. )

No... Do you see a worryingly large pool of blood and/or a decapitated body?

[unkindled_madness]

I've not seen any carnage, no.

Are you going to come out from under there?

[frenchkissed]

Good.

...

Yeah, I... Yeah.

( he can do it. he's got this. he's going to crawl out from under the table and face the fact that, wow, okay, everything is normal and nothing looks as if it's in utter disrepair? that's a nice change. )

Thanks.

[unkindled_madness]

[Yep, the most disheveled thing here is definitely Eddie.]

Do you want to look for your friend, or do you want to find pants?

[frenchkissed]

( par for the course, really. )

Pants.

Chances are he went home early looking for me.

[unkindled_madness]

...all right.

It should be this way.

[He moves to lead the way out of the ballroom.]

[frenchkissed]

( eddie follows, clutching the jacket around himself like it might blow away if he's careless. )

You come to this place a lot?

[unkindled_madness]

Regularly, yes.

I am friends with the owner.

[frenchkissed]

Loki?

You're cool with Loki?

[unkindled_madness]

That surprises you?

[frenchkissed]

I mean, a little?

Every time I see you, you're all, brrr, alone and stuff.
