metalogs | ( open ) I'll wear your colors til you come back home to me

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.

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

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

[Should he be paying it more attention??]

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

Then I'm not missing anything important.

[Apart from spookyhairman's instagram page.]

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

[Sephiroth looks vaguely amused by that description.]

Noted. I will limit my exposure.

[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.

[Nope, the Star Wars references continue to slip past him.]

You had trolls, I take it?

Dude, I'm an artist who lives his life taking pictures of other people for money and their request. I get SO many trolls. It's so hard to meet nice people.

They insult your photography?

Less the photography, more me for doing the job.

[If he had a dollar for each time he was told 'get a real job you bum', he'd have more than a few dollars.]

Arts aren't always appreciated, especially ones that people assume that they can just do with no prior experience.

Ah.

I may have little interest in visual art, but it does require some skill.

Yeah, but I do photos. And everyone assumes you can achieve the same thing with a phone. Or that if you give them a basic camera you can make the same picture without even knowing how to fiddle with settings.

[Sure, it's not as hard to LEARN some of the core principles,but you still do have to learn them.]

[He keeps forgetting phones can take pictures now.]

I've never owned a camera, but that disregards composition, certainly.

[Oh man, he knows the word!]

Congratulations, you already understand more of photography than some assholes who give me grief online.

From what you've described, I would dearly hope to have more intelligence than an internet troll.

Oh you do, by a serious degree. But some people just want to be seen as 'right' online, or perhaps to just bully where they can't get in trouble for it.

Mm. Perhaps I do know the type.

I'm really sorry that you do.

[Because that isn't something that is easy to have to deal with, and he gets that. Perhaps better than plenty.]

[He shrugs it off.]

It hardly matters now.

Yeah, I guess it doesn't. Because now you're here, at this party, having fun.

[So, you know, win win.]

[He blinks slowly.]

...I suppose I am.

[Well, that's the important thing. Mark smiles and nods.]

Awesome man. Enjoy it!

[Sephiroth smiles faintly. Imagine enjoying a party. First time for everything.]

...thank you.

[Mark smiles and offers a bow, sweeping his hat off to make it more interesting.]

No problem big man. Oh, but if you see any hot single people, send them my way.
