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.

[ loki rolls his eyes. ]

You're welcome to do your own in your own time.

[thecoolerloki]

Technically, this is my own time. So you wouldn't mind if I started turning your guests into frogs?

[dothelokimotion]

Why, are you not capable of mischief unless it's one of my events? I'm flattered.

[thecoolerloki]

I spread mischief everywhere, we just happen to cross paths more when it's one of your events.

[dothelokimotion]

Doubtful, if you're copying my tricks.

I thought you were the one who said frogs were boring?

[thecoolerloki]

I wanted to see if you remembered.

[dothelokimotion]

Why wouldn't I remember.

[thecoolerloki]

... It doesn't matter, you passed my little test so congratulations.

[Don't make her admit that she doesn't expect people to remember their conversations, even other Lokis.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ hmm. ]

Yes, I'm grateful my memory has yet to deteriorate that far.

[thecoolerloki]

You are the oldest of us if we count each reincarnation as a new life. And you do have the oldest appearance as well.

[dothelokimotion]

That's fine, I'll simply age gracefully.

[thecoolerloki]

I would think you've seen by now that actually aging doesn't go very well for us.

[dothelokimotion]

If I get to age, I'm considering that a win at least.

[thecoolerloki]

Rather greedy, considering you've already gotten to age quite a bit.

[dothelokimotion]

Yes. I'm always partial to greed.

[thecoolerloki]

I suppose we all are.

[Loki sighs, having fulfilled her be a little snot achievement for this event.]

... Sorry. I'm still not very good with these sorts of things.

[Parties. Being social without ulterior motives.]

[dothelokimotion]

. . . Is that something you wish to be good at?

[thecoolerloki]

It seems to come easily to you and my elder self.

[dothelokimotion]

Perhaps.

But you did not answer my question.

[thecoolerloki]

I want to be Loki.

[There's a cryptic answer!! Take it!]

It was supposedly easy for the old man too.

[dothelokimotion]

Being Loki means making things seem easy. To sell the illusion.

Good or bad has no meaning except when it comes to that.

[thecoolerloki]

By that logic, you don't actually enjoy fancy galas. Is it that you enjoy the spectacle, the fact that it's an easy way to supplant in someone's mind that you are kind and good and important?

I can understand that, but I had always assumed you both had genuine fun at parties.

[dothelokimotion]

There are times when I do. But it is still playing a part, even if it is a part I enjoy.

[thecoolerloki]

I can play that part if there's something I need from the other person, but...

[But Loki's pretty sure that's now how social interactions are supposed to go???]

[dothelokimotion]

[ hm. perhaps he hasn't been doing it as long as the others. for loki, he's always playing a part. it's safer to be chameleonic than to be himself. it offers the best kind of security. ]

But you don't enjoy it.
