The Masquerade (Please join us! Literate rp!)

[Peculiar Monsieur]

Peculiar Monsieur, sporting a red mask, top hat, pair of gloves, tuxedo, bow tie, and a monocle, stands near the refreshments table with perfect posture and poise. His eyes scan the room for a lucky canidate for a dance. He nods, smiles, and tips his hat at passerbys.

Such a lovely evening and masquerade.

"Yah right," Sky said jokingly. "Maybe I'm so pale they think I'm a gost." She said giggling. "I do have that effect of people. And these masks don't help..I look especially scary in this one.."

Then, someone tapped her shoulder. She turns around and sees a man with a mask over his eyes.
"May I have this dance?" he asks.
Overcome by shock, she nodded her head and took his hand.

While they were dancing he looked into her eyes.
"A beautiful girl like you shouldn't be here alone. Don't you agree?"
"Yes." she said blushing.
"My name is Alphonse Taylor. Would you be so kind to tell me your name?" he asked.

[[could someone help me?i dont think im doing this right]]

'My name is Jewel" she replyed looking at Alphonse.

((No problem, just wanted to make sure you see the post is all))
Darius just nodded, "Well, it is a masquerade, there's no need to reveal yourself if you don't want to." Dar swirled her around the dance floor, "So then, how did you get invited? The man who brought me my invitation was being chased by something that had obviously caught him a few times." He chuckled. "But the invitation was untouched, I must compliment him on his sense of duty."

"Good, because I'd really rather not." Virtue states this as she spins about under his hand before her other one returns to his shoulder. "My father's somewhat of an important man around this place. He decided I should come. I'm not exactly sure how he got his invitation though." As he was the one sending them. This last part she keeps to herself in her head. It'd be silly of her father to send himself an invitation to his own ball. And naturally Virtue had to go because he was her father and it would be very unseemly for the princess not to be at the king's ball. "You're story sounds far more intriguing."

"At least the powder they applied heavily to my face does not show through this strange ma- what is it called?"
Cyan fingered the golden, intricate mask that covered her russet features, her bright black eyes hidden by the shadows.
"Maks? And at least being pale is fashionable. You do not see my colour on the street, or the nobles houses."

[Kaetari]

Darius's laughter pealed around them like silk on skin. "It was a funny sight. I offered to let him come inside until the animal was past but he refused, saying it was improper. And then he ran away, the beast on his tail." His eyes met hers, "I'm sure he's fine though. The animal appeared to just want to play with him."

((You're doing fine. Just try to interact with people besides yourself. ^_^))

[damphyr_synergie]

"Now if it were a real man..He wouldn't care.." She muttered with a disgruntled look. "Pfft. You're fine just the way you are. I'm too pale..almost not there pale."

[when-the-magic-was-alive]

Salene looked down upon the crowd below. Her diamond earings and bejewled mask sparkled in the chandelier light. She lifted up the front of her white and gold enlaid dress ever so slightly as she walked down the steps. Her long, silky, blonde hair brushed against her cheek with every step she descended. Her blue eyes glistened softly as she looked from one person to the other with a gentle smile on her face. No one would ever know who she was or what she truely did behind this elegant diguise. Nor would they ever find out because after tonight she would no longer live in these lands again.

[RainbowMuffins]

The Announcer calls to the ballroom "Lady Rhapsody of The Shadow Lands"
Rhapsody enters dress in a gown made of sliver silk so fine it looks like spider glosmer, she is dressed as a butterfly with wings that sparkle in the light. She walks down the stares in to the main ballroom, with a grace that only nobles possess

Night walked up to the doors of the house, ignoring the footman completely. Her long gray silk gown rustled with every step. Her long, deep purple hair was pulled partway back, allowing long, curling tendrils to drift across pale shoulders. A bloodred mask framed green eyes rimmed with yellow. Night slipped into the ballroom almost unnoticed.

Quietly, she walked around the edge of the dance floor, toward some chairs she saw. Night sat down, her gown whispering softly as it settled around her.

[[Is anyone going to RP with me or am I going to be talking to myself forever?]]

Night gazed longingly out at the dancing couples. "Good thing this is a masqurade." she thought to herself, "Otherwise I wouldn't have even gotten in." She fingered the hem of her stolen gown. "Everyone looks so nice and wealthy in their finery. I really don't belong here."

[[Fine.]]

Night fingered the knife hidden in her sleve. Glancing around, she cautiously edged nearer to a door nearby her.She scanned the room to see if anyone was watching her and yanked on the handle. To her suprise, it wasn't locked. Silently, she slipped through the door and closed it with a soft thud behing her.

Now that she was out of the ballroom, the worn boots she wore seemed to echo very loudly. Night took them off. For good measure she also took one of her many daggars out. She padded down the hall, looking for a certain door.

[Junifer Angel]

Jun walked in slowly taking in the sights of the magnificiant ballroom. She felt underdressed compared to everyone else. Her dress wasn't as extravagant as the girl's dress near her. Jun's mask was green with gold trimming. Glitter floated off the mask and onto her emerald green gown. She picked up the bottom of her dress, as to not step on it and walked around the edge of the room, waiting and hoping to be approached.

[Orgasmic Lemonade]

She looked around one more time and noticed she was getting thirsty. She gets up and heads towards the table with the drinks, the back of her dress following her in a magenta wake. She reaches the table and pours herself something to drink, smiling at the man standing near the table.

[Puppeteer Cyanide]

"Real men?"
Cyan's laughter was loud yet musical, ringing like the bells of a cathedral and attracting more attention than a noble woman would like.
"May I ask as to what those are?"

And then he ran away, the beast on his tail." His eyes met hers, "I'm sure he's fine though. The animal appeared to just want to play with him."

Virtue smiles slightly up at him. "I do hope he's alright. I wouldn't want him to be hurt or anything just for..." She stops herself before she uses the words 'my father'. Instead she just smiles more and continues on along with the dance. "You're rather odd you know that don't you?"
