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.

[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.

[beatscissors]

It's only a matter of time then. You should prepare yourself.

[unkindled_madness]

Loki isn't going to stab me.

[beatscissors]

Even if you ask him nicely?

[unkindled_madness]

Are you suggesting I should want him to stab me?

[beatscissors]

It could be a fun memory. I accidentally sat on my friend and nearly killed him once and now it's a joke between us.

[unkindled_madness]

I see.

I don't think we're really lacking in memories.

[beatscissors]

Maybe that's why neither of us have been stabbed yet.

[Offering him that ride must have made a big impression on Loki.]

[unkindled_madness]

Perhaps it is.

How is it that you know him, anyway?

[beatscissors]

I offered him a ride and he turned out to be brothers with this other guy I met earlier.

[unkindled_madness]

Mm. Where were you going?

[beatscissors]

Anywhere really. We didn't want to be prisoners of the Grandmaster any more. He wanted to be dropped off at his place except there was this freaky lady destroying everything so we got everyone to get back on.

And then his house got blown up.

[unkindled_madness]

...I'm sure he appreciated your assistance, at such a time.
