"What's the Password?"

A treehouse is… many things. Mainly, it a house that happened to be build in the nook of a sturdy tree. But really, that's just what it is on the surface. A treehouse could be anything, really! With the right tools and a little bit of imagination, a treehouse could be a perfect place for, say... an adventure! Or a party! From what it seems, the "real world" seems to be full of so much stress. Why doesn't anyone have a little fun?

Our story takes place in such a treehouse, in the middle of a boring suburban neighborhood, in the middle of some boring place, in some boring country, somewhere. A mysterious band of characters, all completely out of place from their surroundings (and each-other, for that matter) wander in. Newly escaped from their books, the Mad Hatter, Peter Pan, Megara, Cinderella, Tom Sawyer, Eponine, Jay Gatsby, and Little Red Riding-Hood have formed something of a traveling group.

They all agree on this:
This treehouse is the perfect place to throw a party, celebrating their new liberation.

That's just about it. Aside from that, they can't agree on anything! Half the party wants to throw a fun, silly, childish block party with pranks and streamers. The other half want a sophisticated, more exotic party with nice drinks and beautiful, clean-cut surroundings.

And if their problems couldn't be worse, wait until the homeowner comes back...

Rules

☀ Follow Gaia T.O.S! That should be a give-in, though, right?
☀ Please be kind and courteous to your hosts, cohosts, and guests.
☀ Do NOT Godmod. Do not impersonate your hosts or cohosts. We have three lovely days of fun planned out, and we get cranky when people try to control our characters.
☀ Please listen to hosts and cohosts~ we're out to make sure everyone has a good time!
☀ Cheating in one of our contests will get you disqualified-- And you won't get any tea or cake!
☀ Have tons of fun!



Guidelines

☀ Please do not quote long posts! (Especially front page posts!)
☀ Please try not to have a giant signature!
☀ Please don't post any supersized images.
☀ Please use your classy language~ keep the crude stuff to a minimum so our younger ballgoers can enjoy the ball too!
☀ Again, have fun!
☀ Rules and guidelines are subject to change.



Warning

NEVER give your password out to anyone. A couple years back we had a problem where a popup would show up saying that you had 'timed out' and needed to enter your password to log back in. This is NOT a Gaia generated pop up, and is a hacker using Java pop ups to get access to your account. If this happens, I find it best to force close your browser and re-open it again, to avoid having to click on any part of the message. Then please report that post immediately!

Meet the awesome members of our butt-kicking treehouse! They worked all day to make sure that this party rocks.

But please do not send in profiles asking to be added to this list. If you want to help us plan for next year, links to our new planning guild will go out at the end of the ball!)

The Mad Hatter
Hatter, Hatty

The Hatter is impulsive… to say the least. He's spent most of his life drinking tea and celebrating his un-birthday, and is a huge fan of having fun. If it's not being responsible or doing work, the Hatter loves doing it. Going back to his story? What's the fun in that? You have all the time in the world to be in a story, and so little time to be in a treehouse!

I've been lurking around Gaia for 8 years now, and I've been a part of this lovely group for two years now, and co-hosted as Pippa the cabin girl in the dream of flying room in the 10th Annual Ball.

Peter Pan
Peter

He may be childish and mischievous, but he's the greatest adventurer! He's not going back to his story because there are more adventures in the outside world!

Tom Sawyer
Tom

Tom's a real mischevious, stubborn, childish, cunning, energetic, and creative kid! Going back to his original story and go back to painting fences for dear Aunt Polly? As if! Where's the fun in that? Let's swindle people instead!

Cinderella

Cin, Cindy


Cinderella is a kind-hearted girl, despite the way she's been treated by her stepmother and stepsisters all her years. She never fails to show compassion for others, and can be very motherly to younger people. Doing chores can be quite a bore, even more so when you've been doing someone else's for the majority of your life. It's time to let loose and have some fun!

Roleplayed by: Calea
I joined Gaia in 2004, but I never realized until last year that there were actually balls run by the users themselves. I attended the 10th Annual Ball as a guest, and had such a blast that well... here I am now!

Jay Gatsby
Gatsby
Gatsby appears to be an aloof, enigmatic and slightly disingenuous, but it is a farce, as he is in truth incredibly naive and lovelorn. Who would want to go back to a world where they will never be able to be with the one they love?

Roleplayed by: Greed-ler
I haven't had much ball experience. Did the Valentines event this year, but I've been RPing in general for a few years now.

Eponine
Ponnie, Eppy
Eponine personality reflects on her childhood after she was spoilt rotten by her parents but as a teenager she continued to want for luxuries but her parents had lost the means to give her what she wanted, she also gets affected deeply by her feelings of love and often goes out of her way to do things for people but is also strong willed and will stand up for what she believes in. After reading about her death and that Marius never returned her feelings she wants to stay out of her story in hope that she'll have a good chance at a new life and maybe find a new person to give her heart to.

Little Red Riding-Hood
Red
Red has an adventurous spirit. She grew up in the woods so she also learned to be pretty tough. Though because it was her grandmother whom she lived with, she also learned to be nice and polite to everyone and everything. To bad there was nobody around to be nice too except squirrels and bugs and other woodland creatures. She likes being around actual people now that she's out of her story. That, and after she learned that she's going to be eaten, there wouldn't be any possible way to convince her otherwise... She especially hates being called "little" now that she's out of her story, but she never actual explains the reason why.

Roleplayed by: Lucky Pink Wings
I was in the Whimsical Dream room this past year as a simple co-host. Also, I first participated in the Annual Ball at the Pride room. I'm not sure if that exactly counts, but I did still roleplay as a guest. I've done multiple monthly events, I'm currently roleplaying in the AURB Four Colors Cafe, a separate role-playing group called School for the Gifted, and started my own private roleplay with Mademoiselle Alvinette called Lucy's Legend.

Daisy
She is beautiful and charming, but also fickle, shallow, bored, and sardonic. She is characterised as a careless person who smashes things up and then retreats behind her money. Daisy is in love with money, ease, and material luxury. She is capable of affection, but not of sustained loyalty or care. She doesn't want to live in a time when women were still considered a merely decorative gender. She wants to escape her life with Tom and her daughter, and be free from the expectations of society.

Roleplayed by: Miyuki Miamoto
Not much ball experience at all, but I've been RPing in general for a few years.




Grandma Nettie!
The grumpy, old, crazy cat lady that is the owner of the house! What on earth does she had a treehouse for, anyway? For her cats to play on? Anyways, she's a sour-faced old woman with a million cats. Don't mess with Grandma Nettie unless you want an earful of yelling... and fur.

☀ ☀ Day One
The group has arrived at the treehouse! They don't all agree on what kind of party there should be, though; While the Hatter has set up a party with tea and loud music and silly fun times, other guests, like Eponine, want something a little classier, with wine and elegance. They dispute as the party goes on.

All of the sudden, that evening, the homeowner comes home! Apparently, the characters had picked the treehouse without actually asking the owner of the property. Her name is Grandma Nettie, and she's very angry. She hit the Hatter with knitting needles and forbid any fun to happen on her property. Luckily, with the help of the guests, we lured the old woman back into her house, and barricaded the door! Hopefully, she won't be back to bother us.


☀ ☀ Day Two

They day started off peacefully. There was still dispute between the style of the party, but at least the hosts were starting to come to some sort of agreement... starting, anyway. Suddenly, around midday, Grandma Nettie was back! This time, with an army of cats. The cats rampaged through the treehouse, making a mess of everything and attacking the guests! During an attack, the Hatter fell over and was knocked out cold! Luckily, through use of catnip and fish, they were able to tame the cats! Take that, Grandma Nettie! During the night, the guests helped clean the place, and there was some teacup-throwing drama!


☀ ☀ Day Three
On the last day, the Hatter finally woke up and decided right off the bat to try and combine all of the teas in the treehouse into one "Ultimate Tea". It was surprisingly delicious! Then they set about planning what to do about that old Grandma Nettie. Unfortunately, that question was answered for them by the great Merlin, who appeared at the treehouse. The only way to stop causing all this trouble was to return to their stories. A few hosts, like Eponine, Meg, and Red, were very hesitatnt to go back to their stories where they new a terrible fate awaits them. But they were convinced, a few determined to fight their fate, a few ready to face it. They were allowed one last night with their beloved new friends, and returned to their stories by the morning time.

Want to make some gold? A few hosts and cohosts here are offering quests in exchange for acorns! Collect all of the acorns, and you'll receive gold!

Anyone who completes all the quests wins 30k. At the end of the ball, anyone who has completed a quest (but not all of them) will receive 1k per quest done.


The Hatter's Quest
Have you seen the teacups that they have to offer in the "real world"? They're so incredibly boring! The Hatter's looking for something a little more... interesting, at least. He wants the guests to design a new teacup for him. This can either be a drawing, or a very detailed description. The weirder, and the cooler, the better! PM the design to him, and he'll give you an acorn.

Eponine
Poor Eponine has lost everything in her story, it seems, but most importantly, she's lost a love that will never return her feelings. Poni knows quite a few things about unrequited love, that's for sure! Have you ever felt that way? Take a crack at writing and write Poni a beautiful poem about unrequited love. PM it to her, and if she likes it, she'll give you an acorn!

Jay Gatsby
No one dresses in style these days! Have you seen these "snappy backs" and "jeans"? It's like people are trying to dress working class! Refresh your sense of style and dress in 1920s attire, if only just for a little while. Show Jay (via quote, get his attention!) and he'll give you an acorn!

Megara
Every once in a while, you'll find a string posted in the forums. It's the string of life! You know, the Fates? Greek Mythology? If you find it, cut that darn string (quoting Meg while you're at it so she can see). Don't think about the fact that you cut a string of life, killing some random person in their prime. Think about the acorn you'll receive.

Little Red Riding Hood
Red keeps dropping cupcakes from her basket! Aren't they just delicious looking... but don't eat them! Red needs them for her grandma, so she says. If you see a cupcake on Red's post, quote her, pick it up, and give it back! She'll thank you with an acorn.

Tom Sawyer
Tom's got sum'n real elaborate planned! He's set up an entire scavenger hunt around the treehouse. It's all about behaviors-- If you see one of the hosts doing certain activities, Tom will give you a prize! Ask Tom for more details; He prefers explaining himself. Win the scavenger hunt and get an acorn.
