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 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.

[frenchkissed]

Yeah?

I had one, too. Before coming here. He was great.

So, cat shopping sometime?

[exasperation]

[ ripley brightens. ]

Do you have pics? What's his name? His type?

And — yeah! Let's do cat shopping.

[frenchkissed]

Uhhhh... That's a great question. I don't think I do? I don't really have anything from back home here.

I mean, if you want, I'm pretty sure Venom could, fwppp, beam images of my cat into your head? I don't think it would be too hard? It'd be like tossing a football.

His name, at least, was Mr. Belvedere. One of those black-and-white tuxedo types.

[exasperation]

Aww, that's adorable! I love it.

[frenchkissed]

Guessing that's a no on the alien AirDrop?

[exasperation]

[ oh, he got distracted by cats. ripley pauses to consider this. ]

I mean, if Venom doesn't mind, it sounds okay?

[frenchkissed]

( venom's been sated by good chocolate and good conversation, so he's more agreeable than usual. since eddie and ripley are already holding hands, venom uses that physical connection to beam eddie's memories of the world's best cat into ripley's mind. venom never met the cat personally, so most of these images are overlaid with eddie's schmoopy feelings and kitty-nose kisses. they get a little more sad towards the end, once eddie comes to terms with never seeing him again, but up until then they're soft(tm).

venom also expects a reward for his efforts. )

[exasperation]

[ aww. what a lovely thing to share. ripley slides his chocolate over to venom. ]

Thanks, Venom.

[frenchkissed]

PLEASURE DOING BUSINESS WITH YOU.

( after being paid for his services, venom slinks forward as a ball of good creeping up ripley's hand. )

WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE EDDIE'S EMBARRASING CHILDHOOD MEMORIES?
HE HAS MANY.
MANY.

THEY ARE...
HILARIOUS.

[exasperation]

Oh, uh, no thank you. That's probably . . . not something he wants.

[frenchkissed]

( no, it is not. )

PUSSY.

...

YOU ARE MEANT TO SIT HERE,
TOGETHER?
AND SIMPLY TALK ALL NIGHT?

BORING PUSSY!

( he craves excitement!!!!! )

[exasperation]

[ ripley quails. ]

I — I mean, I can probably come up with something interesting. M — Maybe a dance? Or like. Something halloweeny?

[frenchkissed]

NO!!
YOU WILL SERANADE US!
TENDERLY!

SO WE CAN BE CERTAIN OF YOUR TRUE FEELINGS.

( seeing the way ripley blanches, eddie intervenes. )

It’s cool, man. He’s joking.

I AM NOT!!!

[exasperation]

Is this about our karaoke thing? We can still do that, if you want.

[frenchkissed]

YOU MEAN THIS?

( that changes venom's tune real quick. he goes from menacing to soft in the blink of an eye. )

[exasperation]

[ that's an interesting reaction. at least ripley feels less nervous. ]

Well . . . yeah. We talked about it and agreed right?

I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it.
