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.

[ ripley blinks. ]

What? No. You definitely don't do that. If anything, it's kind of a good thing?

[frenchkissed]

Are you sure?

'Cause that's not what my heart says.

[exasperation]

Well, it's good. Really. I mean it.

[frenchkissed]

Yeah?

...

Okay.

...

I trust you.
And I hope that you have trust in the me that has trust in you.

[exasperation]

[ his expression softens. ]

Yeah. I. I trust you too.

[frenchkissed]

Then... Then we're good, right?

You trust me, I trust you? That's, like, the best I could ask for in a dude.

[exasperation]

[ ripley tentatively reaches for eddie's hand. ]

Of course we're good. We're great. Fab.

[frenchkissed]

( eddie holds it eagerly! less tension, more smiles. )

We might be fab... but are we, as the kids say, slay?

[exasperation]

I guess we could ask a kid.

[frenchkissed]

No, because if I'm misusing that word, I don't think I could handle being corrected.

[exasperation]

Yeah, that's fair. Kids are brutal.

[frenchkissed]

Y'know, as a former kid, I take offense.
And as a former kid, you should, too.

[exasperation]

I dunno, I'm kind of glad to put my kid years behind me.

[frenchkissed]

Yeah? Were the kid years worse than the teenage years?

[exasperation]

Well . . . it's when I got my powers and I didn't know how to use them very well.

[frenchkissed]

Ah.

Super-puberty.

Got it.

[exasperation]

[ ripley chokes. ]

No, no, not like that.

It meant I kind of made things vanish.

[frenchkissed]

…Then yeah, no, I don’t got it.

You couldn’t just re-locate them?

[exasperation]

Not always. It only works if I touch things and if I zap them away, I have to find them again.

And that doesn't work if you accidentally zap your neighbour's dog to California.

[frenchkissed]

( it's all fun and games until you never get to see mr. belvedere again. )

You did that?

[exasperation]

Accidentally!

. . . I had to save my allowance for months to buy another dog because I felt really guilty.

[frenchkissed]

Oh, shit, that reminds me:

Do you want a cat?

[exasperation]

— A cat?

[frenchkissed]

A cat.

[exasperation]

I mean. Sure? I love cats. I had tons of cats at home.
