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.

Oh so very, very unfortunately personal experience there. I don't recommend it. But otherwise, well, it can be nice to bein other people's dreams, and you have a lot more control.

[robintohood]

Yeah, plus you can do a lot more stuff in dreams than in the real world. So it's sorta like lucid dreaming?

[atypical_echo]

I guess it's sorta like that. I haven't gotten to play with it much. There was only the one time I was sleeping anywhere near Rose.

[robintohood]

The power mimicry is always on? You can't really control it?

[atypical_echo]

Yep. I mean, I can control what I get sometimes. A lot of the time. Probably a solid eighty percent once I know what I'm dealing with. But otherwise...

[Enjoy the helpless little shrug.]

[robintohood]

[Oh dear]

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like a pain.

[atypical_echo]

Yeah. The other week I met this dude who apparently had 'explosions' in the power set. It was... uncomfortable.

[robintohood]

Explosions? Like, he can just cause them?

[atypical_echo]

Yeah, he must have been able to, because I could. And since I can't do anything on my own...

[It only logically followed.]

[robintohood]

[Awkward...]

What'd you blow up?

[atypical_echo]

Nothing. Luckily. He helped get me out.

[It had been a table, but Mark... He'd felt so sick.]

I could move so fast and make things around me speed up in some way. Thus boom. But I wasn't great at chemistry.

[robintohood]

I guess you were literally moving molecules so fast you could cause a reaction.

[The Flashes certainly can do a lot with their superspeed]

[atypical_echo]

Yeah, I guess. It was terrifying. I felt so... out of control.

[Mark shuddered to remember it.]

Honestly, that's why I'm enjoying it here. Less people with powers clustered together. Hell, met you, and that's awesome too.

[robintohood]

[Jason laughs. His own meta ability seems easy enough to not trigger. He would have to consciously think about summoning his swords in order for them to appear]

Thanks. You could do worse than talking to someone who went steampunk noble tonight.

[atypical_echo]

[Not just that, but the summoning was probably some form of magic, which was so beyond Mark. At the moment.]

Yeah, but the question is whether I could do better? I'm guessing not.

[robintohood]

Is that an insult or a compliment?

[atypical_echo]

[Mark smiled at him for that.]

Compliment. Dude you're clearly good company.

[robintohood]

[Jason grins back]

Thanks. Wasn't sure how this party was gonna turn out tonight. I was only curious.

[atypical_echo]

[Yeah, Mark gets curious. Quite a lot.]

I need to figure out what to do with the party now. I mean, I haven't been to a real party since, well, college. Unless you count working concerts as going to a party.

[robintohood]

Oh? You were stage crew?

[atypical_echo]

Nah, photographer for the band. Went to school with the frontwoman, and she wanted good promos for their site and album liners and bandcamp and all of that.

[And photographers don't always get to party at the parties they go to.]

[robintohood]

I guess that makes sense. Was it any fun?

[atypical_echo]

A lot of fun. They were all such warm, energetic people. Spent a lot of time with the drummer.

[They'd been sober buddies, so that had helped.]

[robintohood]

That's great. You're still a photographer or something else now?

[atypical_echo]

I am still a photographer. Hard to get buy when I'm starting over all over again, but that's life.
