alois scholz (unmasked) || 25/25 || dun liek u spinel lady She got her waltz, yet left him with ominous information. „What is zat supposed to mean? So what if I’m not wearing a mask? I was never given one.“ He looked to Ezra, then back to Melany. „I don’t even know enough about ze tradition to know what’s not traditional.“ Pausing, he looked out toward the crowd. In the distance he spotted his other self, masked, and the other Rabbit.
No mask at a masquerade - what else could it mean? With the tithe at the end, maybe it was some kind of lottery. But it couldn’t be if Melany knew he was safe.
Except she didn’t. She believed he was.
„Ezra isn’t wearing a mask. Are you planning to do somesing to him?“

jeremiah mercer || 25/25 || hearing whispers and talking to his father Jeremiah's hand tightens on Algie's arm when the ring whispers to him. That was not what he expected at all and it makes him look at Ezra a little differently. The fire that he is lit by, the fact that he is- Then he speaks and Jeremiah inclines his head. "I would assume myself as well, that any of us can slip and find ourselves that much deeper. We are all pieces, after all, on the board. How are we to know where we can move and where we should not without reaching out first?" Himself point and case. Reaching out for information often lead to places he never expected. shibroswol 2/3 fails; prior to dealing with spinel and can prob lead into his favor with dad

Green and Gold Rabbit Vaughn: 25/25, dancin' with the stars "Yes." A Mona Lisa smile for Alois. "I believe he tried to burn down the hall as he left, but as he does with most things, he failed." Rabbit nodded, a promise to speak to his compatriot later.
He took his time reaching the center of the floor, even though he was being led. Once they got there, he turned, temporarily resting a hand on Hux's hip and raising the other to brush at his shoulder. His gauzy sleeve slid from wrist to elbow, the tattoos on his forearm glittering unnaturally.
Even though he was not in a position to lead, Rabbit began to move, seemingly calculating his visual worth to everyone they passed. "You speak of jealousy. But you should know that when you're dancing with Alois, it will be me who is jealous." He didn't seem jealous, looking off into the crowd to make sure they were looking back.Hetzerei it's getting victorian or something happy bonsai up in this betch idk history

Finn Derouen | 25/25 | Seeking an audience with the Burning ManIt was not terribly difficult to find the burning man, considering that he smelled very strongly of bacon and was literally on fire. Getting to him, or an audience with him, was another matter entirely. Finn did his best to weave his way across the hall without jostling anyone terribly, wide-eyed behind his mask. He thought he saw both Rabbit and Alois once more, though dressed entirely differently from how they had been just a moment ago - their doppelgangers, he assumed, like the Tate he'd texted with. He made no moves to speak with them. Because that would be creepy. When he reached the Burning Man, he seemed already deep in conversation with Messrs. Mercer and Mercer. Finn bit his lip, stood to the side, and waited for a break in the conversation. "Er," he said softly, "When you have a moment, Alois sent me. The one in the basement, I mean."

Thorne (Masked) | | 25/25 | | Coming for you, Alois
There were few things in Thorne's world that mattered very much. One was sitting across the room from him. The second he'd drank the last of minutes ago. The third - well. The third was something he found in the heat of others. The way they felt beneath his fingers, the way they sounded when his nails bit.
One was perfectly content to be alone. Two was gone and it wasn't coming back.
Three was a negotiable thing. His eyes lifted beneath the veil of the rabbit mask to catch the gazes trapped on him for a matter of seconds. Alois, he thought. One's enough. Two... now, now, now. His lips quirked at the corner into a smile as the unmasked version of the German boy stormed out after dumping wine so close to his Number One. Rude.
Thorne pushed away from the wall as the other two near the masked version of Alois strode for the center of the room, apparently to dance, leaving a ripe opening for him to slide into. In quick, lupine strides, Thorne cut the distance between Alois and him, filling the space beside the pale man with a slow curl of laughter.
"Would you like to dance as well?" Thorne asked, his voice low and husky with tease, with the threat and challenge and accent of something more. His head tilted, animal, and he gazed down at Alois with a wolfish expression of hunger. "Or would you rather play a different game while in wait?"

alois scholz (masked) || 25/25 || playing coy It wasn’t difficult for him to watch the pair dance in the midst of the waltz. He enjoyed it sometimes, watching others enjoy themselves in the same thread of time, while he remained tucked away in a pocket beyond perception. Thorne was always terribly adept at spotting him, but he never complained. He watched the approach, the ebb and flow of dancers and minglers and partiers wrap about him and depart. Thorne was, enviously, always good at traversing a crowd.
A shame, a pity that this night, too, must end.
Alois smiled placidy beneath the mask. Thorne was good company when he resigned himself to be. But, he was dangerous company for how easily Alois could lose himself. It wouldn’t matter, though - not for long. „Of course I would, dear brother. I wasn’t joshing you when I agreed before.“ His gaze still hadn’t met Thorne; it remained on Hux in the midst of the ball, alone, with nothing but strangers surrounding him. What was said between them? What was done? „But before I make a hasty decision, what sort of game did you have in mind? Would Father approve?“ He spared a glance toward Ezra before finally looking toward Thorne himself.
Oh, Thorne… How easy it was to get lost in that mask. His hands slipped into a loose cross over his chest. „Indulge my curiosity.“

Thorne (Masked) | | 25/25 | | Playing around
Thorne sighed and laughed and smiled. His eyes lowered to Alois, sharp flares of violet beneath the gold and blue and crimson of the rabbit-mask. The German had always been an interesting creature, ever since they'd met in the hungry shadows of a nowhere bar. Even more interesting now, masked and watching his own double disappear.
Thorne tilted his head, a hiss or rumble or purr passing through his throat. He let his hands cross behind his back, resting at the small of it. Around them, the dancers moved like pieces of clockwork, wired for this play.
"And yet you are without a partner," Thorne remarked, his voice low and hungry, "What a tragedy." But Alois played into his hand, asking the right questions and giving the right cues.
Are you as hungry as I am? Thorne thought. He tilted his head. The mask jingled. The dancers quickened their pace.
"An easy game," Thorne purred, a low rough sound. "Like twenty questions." His eyes flickered, his mouth sliced upwards. There was a danger sign posted here. It warned people about coming too close.
"Unless you want something a little bit more difficult to win."

Hux in a Suit - 25/25 - dancing with Green and Gold RabbitHux had eyes for no one in the crowd with the exception of his dance partner and, occasionally, Alois. His given task, after all, was more than complete, Should Hux return, he'd find his life in shambles. Sister, gone. Kids, gone. He'd be alone in their home- and it'd be only a skeleton of what it once was. Should he return, however- the Hux that was dancing with Rabbit- well, that home would become a palace. A great glittering jewel swiped from beneath the nose of the original giant to feed the belly of one more greedy. He tilted his head as they danced, so that he was leaning over Rabbit in a rather intimate fashion. His lips were at the other man's ear, breath- no doubt- warm and sickly sweet, warming the side of Rabbit's face as he spoke. "When I'm dancing with him," he whispered. "I'll only be thinking of my next dance with you." He pushed Rabbit out and away from him, twirled his body in the typical fashion that one would expeat, then pulled him close again; their bodies pressed tighter together than they were before. Hux laughed, joyously. "Ah, to live and dance freely." He said. "Such an exhilarating feeling."

adoelle nashua: 25/25, talking to Algernon "I'm really sorry, but I think that's sort of need-to-know," says Adoelle apologetically. "It's not really in the spirit of the ball, either..." Prideful One: 25/25, talkign to Eve "Then the murder is prevented," says Pridey. He seems to be losing patience. A. Prividaniye: 25/25, talking to Zac Prividaniye grins. Whatever he says, it seems to be pleased: he's glad to hear that someone's been picking up his style. And of course he still makes art! What else would he do, with a face like this? Nobody's gonna pay to ******** him! The Sinister Survivor: 25/25, talking to Zac "We're friends," says the Sinister Survivor. "Quite good friends, as it were." The Spinel Lady: 25/25, talking to Shun and Unmasked Alois "Now darlings, why would I tell you that," asks Melany, smiling. It doesn't reach her eyes. "You'd have to make it worth my while. Were my little favors really so distasteful?" The Burning Man: 25/25, talking to Jeremiah. And Finn! "Reaching out is well and good," says the burning man. "But you must consider to whom you're reaching. And whether their goals align with yours." THAT'S NOT OMiNOus AT ALL!! He turns his attention to Finn. "What is it? He oughtn't be bothering the guests to do his errands for him."

alois scholz (masked) || 25/25 || why hello hi there “I was waiting for my partner, but they look much too close to part with each other. I suppose I’ll have to choose another.“ A finger tapped his lips gently. Rabbit and Hux were lost within each other. Lost in their own time. Immobile. Exactly how he wanted them. It was better this way, then, to settle on another partner. Perhaps Thorne would prove the better of them. They were roommates, after all - were they not promised to abide by each other?
The finger curved, nail biting gently into his cupid’s bow. He smiled again, out towards the crowd. Green eyes told nothing beneath the feathered crow’s half-mask.
„Twenty questions?“ He asked with faint incredulity. „You tease me, Thorne. We played that game before. Don’t you remember?“ Alois pushed off from the pillar he stood against, and passed around its circular column with fingers sweeping against its thick marble side. He took the long way around from twelve to six to ten and then his hands came to rest on wrists clasped behind Thorne’s back. He tugged gently. „Come; the ivory halls are vast. Walk with me.
„Leave lovers to be lovers here. We’ll play a different game. A better one.“ You won’t disappoint me, Thorne. No, I think we will have no trouble of that.
Let’s make this an occasion to be remembered.elkbones my reply was so herpderp last night i'm so sorry

alois scholz (unmasked) || 25/25 || but daddy "Melany," he replied, anger barely sucked behind teeth. You toy with me. You have your toys and your company and your tithe to watch at the end of the night. Your pretentious a** is sitting around having the time of its life. I'm not in the ******** mood for your bullshit right now.
Carefully he paced himself. The Burning Man sat not outside earshot. Alois himself was a reflection of his care after the long days spent with him - a hardened servant raised to comply. Perhaps not to please, not to suck fingers like Shiloh in his aquamarine hellhole, but there were yet still expectations placed on him. Reasons against flagrant disobedience as he often displayed. Perhaps it was against his nature but he swallowed it for now - there would be later opportunities.
Unless he was chosen and killed for the tithe, of course.
"Father is not wearing a mask." The words burned in his throat. He set his teeth. "Does that mean he is in danger?"

Finn Derouen | 25/25 | Confused but still trying this Burning Man thingFinn turned, frowning slightly - Alois had sent him up here, and then, it seemed, followed him, which seemed strange. Perhaps he'd been summoned to deliver a choice vintage. It wasn't his business to meddle in, now was it? "Not really an errand," he explained apologetically, hoping he hadn't just gotten his friend in trouble. "More an... inquiry. About the abductees." Tate. Alois. Rabbit. Who knew how many others."I was wondering - when will they be able to go home? To the human world?"

algernon mercer || 25/25 || questioning adoelle Alg nodded, of course it would be need-to-know, perhaps he'd be able to get that information out of someone else. Her lack of commenting on a dance with him he simply took as a polite refusal. The professor glanced up from Adoelle when he felt another body approach, lots of skin and a farmer's tan- "Hello Finn-" He was given a shoulder pat but nothing more as it would interrupt all conversations. Alg did pause though, glancing at Adoelle and again asking something, "I couldn't help but notice you weren't wearing a mask-" He glanced around, "I was under the impression they were required." azuredreams this is not going well husbando

Zac Bantock - 25/25 - irritating questions are go. "Are, are you both from, here?" he waved his hands around suggesting Other Ashdown, or are you from, the side of Ashdown that I'm more familiar with? The one without all the...rain and not so much Magic. "I, I think there are a lot of people who may want to talk to you tonight Sir, given the art you have done and people's natural curiosity, is...if I came back to this, side of things, do you think it would be possible to find you?" ((Ticking people off since he first got lost here! woo!))

The Burning Man: 25/25, talking to Finn! The burning man says, "What makes you think they're trapped?" Adoelle Nashua: 25/25, talking to Algernon "Yeah," says Adoelle. "Usually. I'm a special case." Her apologetic expression only grows more uncertain. The Sinister Survivor: 25/25, talking to Zac "Strictly speaking, no one in this room is from here," says the survivor. A. Prividaniye: 25/25 talking to Zac Prividaniye shrugs. Maybekindasortanotreally.
