Masquerade!
When; The evening of February 12th
Rating; G - PG-13 (if your thread goes higher than that, please tag it as such!)
Characters; Anyone and everyone in the City
Summary; Everyone in the City will also receive an invitation to the Doge's Palace (no, not that doge, the other one--probably...) for a masquerade on the evening on February 12th. Come in your finest finery and come masked--after all, anything one does while wearing a mask can be forgiven, as one is not oneself behind a mask♥
Note; This is the mingle log for the masquerade ball tonight! It is being posted early due to the threat of icy weather and attendant power outages in my area (which would mean this post might not go up at all if there's no precious, precious internet). So apologies for the earliness, but please enjoy~
Log; The City is transformed, with streets made into canals, with arched bridges and narrow alleyways along those canals. Gondoliers are singing as their boats drift along. Flowers seem to bloom from every wall and window. The City is a marvel.
Not least of all is the palace on Misery Square, just near the Cathedral. Where did it come from? Who can say? But it is well-known that this is the place for the evening's masquerade.
Let the liveried servants escort you in to the lavish ballroom decorated all in red and gold and lit by hundreds of candles. There is music, because there must be, and food and drink, and balconies and corners and cooler rooms aside into which one can slip if one needs such a place.
Just remember to wear your finest finery and to wear a mask. You don't have a mask? Not to worry: the master of his house is generous in many ways. There are masks to be had at the door if you haven't worn your own (and there are many shops in which to find such treasures today).
So, what will you do first? Find someone with whom to dance? Try to determine who that might be behind that mask? Plot and scheme (because ballrooms lend themselves to that)? Fall in love?
A romantic evening, truly.
