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.

[Yeah, he knows that. And sighs.]

The world would be easier if it was though.

[unkindled_madness]

I don't think the world is meant to be easy.

[atypical_echo]

[Well, see, he doesn't like that.]

Why not? We've got all this amazing technology and prosperity. We were promised ease as the world got more advanced. And instead it's just more grind.

[unkindled_madness]

Technology changes nothing about human nature.

[atypical_echo]

[That's not entirely true.]

I don't know, man. The internet makes even bigger assholes of people who are normally reclusive.

[unkindled_madness]

...how so?

[He's not on the internet much. At least he's not one of those reclusive assholes?]

[atypical_echo]

You're clearly not on the internet much if you don't have a lot of trolls.

[unkindled_madness]

Why would I "have" trolls?

[atypical_echo]

Anyone on the internet with sufficient time and attention will find that trolls find them and annoy them.

[unkindled_madness]

...are you using the word metaphorically?

[atypical_echo]

No. I'm really not.

[unkindled_madness]

Why would they annoy people on the internet? It seems rather petty.

[atypical_echo]

And there you strike to the heart of it. Turns out, some people are just petty.

[unkindled_madness]

People, or trolls?

[atypical_echo]

People. Trolls are people who behave like that online.

[unkindled_madness]

You should have said that in the first place.

[atypical_echo]

[Mark wants to roll his eyes.]

Sorry, Sephiroth. To me it's just... it's something people just know? It's assumed knowledge.

[unkindled_madness]

I think it's quite clear I am still learning about the internet.

[atypical_echo]

Ah. Well, it's a complicated thing to learn about. And full of so many weird ass things.

[unkindled_madness]

Would you consider it a noteworthy part of the average person's life?

[Should he be paying it more attention??]

[atypical_echo]

I mean, it depends. Some people make their lives from it. But it's not really required.

[unkindled_madness]

Then I'm not missing anything important.

[Apart from spookyhairman's instagram page.]

[atypical_echo]

You're really not. Like, it's just a den of inequity.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth looks vaguely amused by that description.]

Noted. I will limit my exposure.

[atypical_echo]

[And Sephiroth of course hasn't gotten around to watching Star Wars, so he's not even going to get it figured out, right?]

Probably for the best. Like, I wish I hadn't known it as much growing up.
