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.

...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.

[unkindled_madness]

Half the universe?

What do you mean?

[beatscissors]

From what I hear he didn't like sharing so he found these magical rocks, not at all like me I'm a rock, but not magical, and he snapped his fingers somehow and half of everyone disappeared.

I'm not sure how he did that, both the snapping and the disappearing. The gloves were metal so I thought it'd make a screeching sound instead. Maybe the gloves were also magical.

But don't worry, another guy got the gloves and he also somehow snapped the gloves too so everyone's back now. Except him. He kind of died. I didn't know him, but it looked like he had a lot of friends.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth listens to this, his brow furrowing. This individual certainly has a... unique way of putting things.]

I certainly won't mourn him.

When you say, everyone is back... Does that include everyone he killed?

[beatscissors]

Yeah, I don't think anyone would miss him. Not very popular at all.

[He's not connecting the question to Loki, otherwise he'd be answering this a lot differently.]

Should be everyone. 'Course I don't know everyone so it's a bit hard to check even if we did use the rainbow to visit everywhere.

[unkindled_madness]

[Don't worry, Sephiroth is going to ask more directly. Because it's an important thing to know, and he doesn't know why the possibility should make him uneasy.]

...and Loki?

[beatscissors]

[His whole face lights up as much as a rock can look happy.] Oh, you know Loki too! He's a good friend of mine as well and you have no idea how devastated his brother was.

[His face falls as he remembers what Thor had been like in the past five years.]

Those were dark times.

But yeah, even he's back. He's the one who organised this whole party actually.

[He doesn't realise Loki's presence here was separate to Iron Man undoing the snap.]

[unkindled_madness]

Of course he's here, but...

[Sephiroth lets it drop. If this stranger doesn't know how Loki came to be in this world, then he doesn't really know the answer.

However...]

You consider him a good friend?

[beatscissors]

Of course I do. He can be a bit pricky, but he's a good person.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth smiles faintly at that.]

Indeed.

I don't believe I caught your name.

[beatscissors]

[He leans in to whisper rather loudly.]

I'm not sure we're allowed to introduce ourselves. It's supposed to be a mystery.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth looks decidedly amused at that.]

As you will, then.

But I am Sephiroth.

[beatscissors]

[Korg takes a step back and looks around him frantically as if he expects Loki to show up out of nowhere to tell them off.

And then belatedly slaps his hands over his ears.]

I can't hear you.

[unkindled_madness]

Are you concerned he's going to eject his own friends from the party?

[beatscissors]

[Completely defeating the purpose of blocking his ears he replies immediately making it obvious he could still hear everything.]

That's him being friendly. He stabs his brother as a hello.

[unkindled_madness]

Fair enough. But I do hold the particular honor of never having been stabbed by him.

[beatscissors]

Same here! Are you made of rocks too?

[Is that too much information about himself?]

[unkindled_madness]

[Made of rocks? That's a new one.]

No, I am flesh and blood.
