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.

I'm sorta hungry, I'm shocked and confused as to why I'm being so honest with you if it's not a power, and I'm starting to wonder if there's a Meta around us with a power that is affecting us, but not within my normal range of copying.

[Which is a LOT of honesty.]

[Oh boy. Got to think what's causing this]

I wasn't feeling like this easier. I've been in this party for a while now. Something's triggering both of us.

That can be a power. Someone could have arrived that is doing it.

[He seems nervous now.]

I sort of want to run away.

[Jason's on alert as he looks around to see what could've triggered this. Then he eyes spot the chocolates and the signs on them]

Oh... Did you have white chocolate before?

Yeah. I like white chocolate. Dark chocolate is just a bit too bitter in my books.

[And he should not be allowed the alcoholic ones.]

I think we should've taken the signs on them at face value.

[Jason gestures at them]

I mean, I trusted the mask. But I didn't read the signs. IT was just chocolate!

And the party's host is a god of mischief.

[Oh. Oh fuck. Mark groans.]</small. I should go before I start spouting my name, or telling some powerful alliance person off by accident.

If it helps, I really am not part of a guild.

I believe you in this moment. But...

[He shudders.]

Fear, man. I've got a lot of it. And trauma.

Yeah, I get it. And don't ask me for more details about that.

I'll definitely not do that. Shit, I trauma dumped on you, didn't I? Fuck.

{That's not okay.]

I'm sorry.

It didn't bother me.

[Jason's trying to be careful with his words and hopefully not saying more than necessary]

Plus, neither of us knew what was really happening.

[Well, there is that. Still, he sighs.]

For a moment I almost worried you were like Damien. I didn't need caught up in that again.

Yeah, for a moment it looked like you were gonna panic spiral.

Oh, yeah, I'm sorta prone to those in bad situations. Like, my ex called me Repressed Trauma Boy sometimes.

Ouch. Seems like that one cuts a little too close.

So unbelievably close.

[Which he says with a frustrated noise, because he can't DENY that Jason's right.]

Sorry.

[Seems like the apology is meant to be sympathetic and for accidentally getting him to talk more about things he doesn't want to talk about]

[Mark wants to wince, because this is all so frustrating at this point.]

The problem is that I don't like being this open, you know?

I don't think most people do. I definitely don't.

Joanie would say it's healthy. But fuck, she's barely ever been forced like this.

Yeah, that's a big difference between wanting to be open and being forced. This isn't fun.

No. It's not. I... I think I need to go be alone for a bit. I'm sorry.

[Just until he can lie to himself, and thus others.]
