A favor for Lace


This stranger looks very... familiar. The long red hair, the green eyes, the face like a triangle orgy, it's all reminiscent of someone you know. But different, crueler, worse. She's wearing a sheer black dress that barely preserves her modesty, and her "mask" is a slash of black paint across her eyelids.

She reminds you of Melany. And like Melany, when you approach she asks you for a favor. "Tell me what you know about the masked ones," she says, fanning herself with a delicate contraption of--what else--lace.

To give Lace a satisfactory answer to her question, you must roll three six-sided dice. The total of these three rolls will determine your success at the favor, and what it is you learn from Lace in return.

1-4 = Total failure, she is unsatisfied with your answer or you didn't understand her question. She waves you off. You receive no reward.
5-9 = You understand that she's talking about the masked doubles, but your answer doesn't whet her appetite. You receive no reward.
10-17 = You understand and answer her question well enough to receive one piece of information, which may be duplicated in other favor threads.
18 = You answer her question and provide extra details about your opinion, and will receive one unique piece of information that may not relate to this meta.

You may only roll this favor once.

Please quote shibrogane when you're done for information dispersal!

Juniper Wilcox (Maskless) | 25/25 | Laying out her info for Lace

The woman with the painted on 'mask' was intriguing and...vaguely familiar? Juniper wasn't sure, but she had to admit the red hair and green eyes were very attractive features. She had no doubt that the woman had men and women flocking to her. Or she may have if she didn't appear so...cruel and unwelcoming.

Still, Junipers' interest was perked when the woman asked about the masked ones. This was a subject she was aptly interested in and if she could trade info for info about them she was game to try.

"The masked ones? I am assuming you mean the people who appear to be doubles of others here and wear masks while their twins don't?" She paused for a moment for affirmation before continuing. "Well, I can't say I've gotten much, but I do know that the masked people are very cruel and seem to be under the thumb of some of the higher-ups around here. They do the biddings of some of the others. The burning man I know for sure has some dealings with them and I believe Melany and and Adoelle. The poor people who the masked ones are doubled from seem to have been kept her for a long time. None of them have been able to tell me for how long precisely. Plus, the masked ones seem to keep their unmasked doubles under a tight leash, even physically and mentally hurting them. It's awful."

As Juniper gave her story she realized it didn't really seem like a lot when delved out, but that was what she had. All that she had and was either from observation, encounters, or being told directly from one of the unmasked.

With guarded caution, Shun looked over the one who reminded him a little too much of Melany.

"They are doppelgangers. They may possess the memories of the true versions. Potentially stolen."

Once more, he apparently had given an unsatisfying answer. He furrowed his brow as the woman dismissed him. Clenching his fist, he stormed off in the other direction.

Nathaniel Parrish - 25 / 25 - approaching carefully


Unfortunately for Nathaniel, his stammering, uncertain response did not go over as well as he would have wished. He tried to explain that he hadn't quite understood the question in the first place, but that only seemed to make things worse, and Nathaniel hastily slunk off after that.

    nasir vasile || 25/25 || actually doesn't know much at all


Nasir can't really answer her question, if only because he's not seen much at all of the doubles. Wil and him caught part of the fight, just the tail end of it before they were booking it, but the doubles-

Well. He isn't much help at all and it means she doesn't have much to say to him.

alois scholz (unmasked) || 25/25 || throwing some shade

Alois knew immediately who this bitter b***h meant. He frowned, lips a thin slash across his face, though no contestant against this woman. "I don't trust you enough to say," he returned, and left before his solicitor could retaliate.

[25/25 | LEILA]: phones a Friend

Leila went white as a sheet, and hastily turned around, compelling her familiar to hop over to her fingertip. Truth be told, she had spent barely any time at all picking up the clues and gossip she should have been, so her knowledge on this topic fundamentally amounted to jack s**t.

So it was time to use her powers of "illumination..." and cheat like she'd cheated on that physics exam in her sophomore year of college.

With a college professor's sense of timing for lecturing from notes, she was able to deliver some acceptable answers.

    jeremiah mercer || 27/27 || too angry

Jeremiah's answer about the masked ones is not what she was expecting. It was a lot of poorly constrained bitterness about how someone's life had been ruined.

Even more so when he takes in the appearance of the woman in front of him.

He knows.

[Temperance: 25/25 idk]

"What will I get in return?" Without her mask on, it felt even more imperative to slip on a mask of a different sort - one that didn't stutter like normal, didn't hesitate and hem or haw over words. Temperance had a professional mask that fell into place in time of stress and, if nothing else, she was stressed out. She'd spent a good few minutes in a quiet room, waiting for her hands to stop shaking after she'd left Susan. The knowledge that she'd ******** up there haunted her, but Temperance had successfully pushed it away.

If she treated the ball like a triage hall, then nothing else mattered than that. It was like prying information from reluctant, half-coherent patients in the hope that fitting it all together would create some kind of massive picture. Temperance smiled at the woman, glancing at her through her darkened lashes. She didn't much about the masked folks, but there was always a bluff skill. Still, Temperance didn't look too closely at the dress that was half nothing.

Marcus 25/25 who dis

Marcus truth be told. Was rather oblivious to most things in the real world. When you lived with a forced vision and version of events it tended to skew one's perception of things around them and make it harder to parse meanings and interactions.

That didn't mean he didn't try however.

Yet when a woman who's prescense practically oozed 'threat' came close, he was at a loss. Both because she scared a part of him and because she was in something so... almost indecent.

And Marcus was prone to staring.

"Um. Uh. Of who?" He blinked realizing she wanted information.
"Oh. Masked ones. Right right well. I- wow." He kept looking at her dress.
"Wow well, their masks certainly leave a bit to the imagination. Hrm yeah. Uh."

It was a nice dress, but that did not mean it was a decent thing to wear at a party.

Then again men were showing off their chests so it did fall to reason that some women also felt a bit liberated.
"Uh- yes. It's all a bit of a muddled mess really. No one to be trusted and to be careful of whom to trust I- wow just. Would you like a coat?" Marcus was too easily distracted.

"You might catch a chill."
He was certain he would die tonight of nothing if not embarrassment.

Chris Watts || 25/25 || Really bad at everything tonight

Chris wasn't good with the Spinel Lady and well, he wasn't good with what looked similar to her. He managed to get out a rather flustered reply about the masked ones, of which he figured was also himself, but only managed to well. Tremendously ******** up.

She sauntered off and Chris felt tremendously off his groove.

    wil azevedo || 25/25 || dont know much but honest


Wil couldn't say no when someone very regal and attractive asked a question of him. Honestly he was looking at her, in her lace and mask, and imagining a collage he could create influenced by her aesthetic.

"The masks?" He touched the edge of his. "Seems like everyone has to wear one. Except a few others I saw-" He didn't know a lot about that, or why, he'd been sort of uhhh.. busy.

"Seems to me would be a bad idea to break the rules and take it off before they say. Sorry I don't know much more. Do you mind if I uh-" He wanted to take her picture, to work with later, "s**t I don't have my cell.."

He smiled, "You could totally be a model."

    algernon mercer || 25/25 || keeping his eyes up here


Alg introduced himself, an offered hand a kiss to the back of it before she drew up her fan and inquired about the masked guests. He knew her face and his reluctance and concern with her identity were carefully reigned.

"The mask exempts you from tithe candidacy," Alg glanced around, then back to her. The woman's dress left nothing to the imagination. He was most definitely, and properly, keeping his gaze above shoulder level. "To remove the mask is to be offered up."

Alg leaned in a moment, "Your dress is lovely by the way." He managed to slide in.

"As for worthiness I suppose that remains to be seen." Alg lifted his brows.
