Log:

With the last of the Pokemon singing vibes wafting their way out, there’s still a chance to have a fairly normal time here in Goldenrod. The Valentine’s Masquerade has been prepared, and the beautiful hostesses are ready to attend to their guests need. They rented out a small, one floor building for their needs, and it has been lavishly decorated in white frills, pink and red hearts, and the occasional cupid.

There’s more than enough room on the dance floor, as elegant ballroom music plays, courtesy of those nice folks at the Radio Tower. For those who are not exactly ready for the ballroom blitz, there are paper footprints on the floor to help you around if you’d like a waltz or foxtrot.

Some tables have been set up if you want a break from dancing. The first is a table for cards and masks – this is a masquerade after all! You can cut up your own from paper for cards, and paint your own choice of colors for the soft mask molds. There is glitter, feathers, glue, beads, fake jewelry, everything you’d need to create a pretty disguise and express how you feel in the written word.

A second table is full on banquet of Valentines sweets. A chocolate fountain has been set up, along with several dipping choices – fruits and extra candy, naturally. There are handmade chocolates there as well – milk, dark, white, full of peanuts, almonds, etc – but for those of you who can’t stand chocolate anymore, there is plenty of fresh cut up fruit to snack on. There’s also a large punch bowl for the thirsty, but you will get a nasty finger wagging at if you spike it.

Off in the corner, many books of poetry are piled up. Granted, they are mostly about Pokemon, but it’s the thought that counts. There’s also a stool and microphone set if you’d like to read your own creations, or perhaps croon to your sweetheart.

Please don’t tag until this sentence has a line through it. Have fun!

HOSTESSES

[her_mouse_jesty]

Here you can talk to Minnie, Saber, or both! Just put who you want to chat with in your subject line.

The girls are moving around, making sure everything is in tip-top shape. It may be hard to tell at first, but they've each got their own emotional problems. Saber is hard faced as she looks at the dance floor, perhaps thinking about Merlin and other lost companions. Minnie frets about, keeping her pink mask (part of the pink princess ensemble) from falling off her nose as she thinks about what she did during the Pokemon songs. But they'll still be charming as possible if you come and see them!

Saber

[wontdieifkilled]

[Hey, Saber, there's a familiar-looking guy wearing a suit and a red-and-white mask waving at you.]

Saber!

[ex_cashcow493]

Shirou!

[ Here's one overly-excited Servant struggling to find something on the pile of stuff on a table before her. Quickly she finds it though and places it over her face - an elaborate lion mask. Wonder which crazy Roman Emperor made that for her? ]

You came. [ Her tone softens as she smiles towards him. ] Thank you.

Saber

[autocratic]

Aha, it seems you are sporting my accessory well enough!

[ Sounds so pleased with herself. ]

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Yeah, yeah. Suck it up, other Saber. ]

Of course. My manners are hardly barbaric and it would be an insult otherwise.

DANCE FLOOR

[her_mouse_jesty]

The classical music guides you out onto the floor. You can choose to follow the steps on the floor, or you can be confident and take your own path. Pianos play, strings sway, it's a very calming and romantic atmosphere.

[infinitejustice]

[There's Athrun on the edge of the dance floor. He's wearing his Orb admiral's uniform and (surprise, surprise) a red mask, though at the top there's a yellow chevron shape. He's looking for people he knows.]

[subtlecoruscate]

[Rima's just watching the others dance, glad this party isn't as chaotic as the last one back at Cross Academy. She's wearing a plain black dress and a small smile. It's nice to be able to attend something like this and not have people screaming your name]

[scientificflair]

[The party is decidedly less chaotic, perhaps, but hopefully she doesn't mind being approached; after all, one can't exactly leave a lovely lady by herself on the side of the dance floor, can they?

...admittedly, being approached by this likely isn't exactly what anyone had in mind, but the deep bow from the waist that she's offered is gentlemanly enough, as is the hand being offered to her.]

Might I ask the lady to honor me with a dance?

[the_whitequeen]

[ Lacus did enjoy going to these parties --- especially with her father. This scene really brought back memories. Both beautiful and sad. She had on a small smile, while looking a bit distant ... and this dress.

She later lost her distant look and began looking around for a familiar face.. ]

open!

[licentious]

[ WELP, Lust wanted to get back to Goldenrod as soon as possible since traveling with Gluttony was probably like playing Kid Icarus, or Super Mario whatever with one life against Bowser while blind. Unfortunately this means she had to attend some masquerade. With other humans. Ew. On the other side, this was slightly fine to her, at least it was a classy thing and not like one of those college girls gone wild films she was in during her wilder days. Not that those days, or those parties, ever existed but the lady still loved the finer things in life!

As for what she's wearing, just imagine something like this except it covers that awful sorority ouroboros tattoo since no one is seeing that until they buy her dinner and prove that they're a trustworthy source that doesn't leak stuff to Mustang. Oh, and, she's wearing this masquerade mask because surprisingly it's a masquerade and this lady is always prepared unless it's about estimating humanity.

For now, she isn't doing anything too attention grabbing except wearing a fucking bird on her head and being a stunningly gorgeous wallflower with a classy drink in her hand. Perhaps you should approach her for light conversation or asking her to dance! If you impress her, you might just see her ankles! ]

[sculpted]

[[Oh come now, Lust

for the glorious Major Alex Louis Armstrong you could at least manage a knee!]]

Miss Isabella?

[[With decidedly less sparkle now, have said Major approaching you! He's wearing this minus the cape, except the coat is light purple; a direct match to the shiny Ducklett sitting on his shoulder, judging everyone. To top off the outfit is this mask!]]

You look enchanting this evening!

I was going to tag the shirtless thread but /sob... too many threads. WILL MAKE IT UP TO YOU HERE?

[derpsaboutfamily]

[ Hughes is dressed up in a tuxedo and a very simple mask. He hasn't actually seen Isabella yet, so he has no idea that this is her, but seeing anyone just being a wallflower simply won't do, so he'll be approaching. ]

Beautiful evening, don't you think?

[glaciates]

[You know what Isaac really hates? Socializing. Also formal dances like this. Also Hughes. How did he manage to talk Isaac into this anyway?]

[Like everyone else, Isaac is dressed up in a dark blue outfit that isn't going to be described any further because the mun was too lazy to think of it, and he's actually been forced into looking nicer. His hair is still ridiculously long, but it's tied back lower and looks... about as nice as hair that long really can on a man of his stature. He's also clean-shaven and looking horribly awkward.]

[But! He'll try to enjoy himself as best he can! Which means attempting to find that woman Hughes was so insistent he see. That... is proving about as easy as one would imagine, considering Hughes described her and this is a masquerade. Yeah. At least he can look for long, dark hair--]

[Why hello there.]

Good evening.

[...Welp, there went all the classiness he's ever had. And the awkward is about to kick in within five seconds!]

[explosivecombat]

[Parties and casual socializing like this are a bit of an odd memory for Kimblee - something he hasn't missed, exactly, in the time that he's been...away, but now that he's been given a chance to indulge in them like this, he certainly doesn't see why not. He's never found gatherings like this to be unpleasant, after all; he used to attend such things on a regular basis, he's never been among the sort to find them boring, and if, on the off chance the party is dull, he's found ways to ensure that he enjoys himself, at the very least.

Having a rather lovely date for the evening is one; wearing something that's classy if you don't know him, and in horrendously bad taste if you do, is definitely another. Of course, given Johto's apparent dislike of weapons his version of the outfit is obviously missing the sword, as well as going without the, er, drapes that are trying to pass themselves off as a cape; his hair is down for once, rather than tied back, having been played with enough to render it decidedly less flat.

Just the same...Red Death, indeed.

However! It's nice to be back in civilization, as opposed to on the routes or in the tiny towns along the way; questionable taste or not, Kimblee's mood is still a good one, even without the added energy-high brought on by whatever the last few days have been.]

[snapandscoot]

[[Said lovely date is holding his arm gracefully with one gloved hand, looking around the room. With her mask covering most of her face, her lips blood red and her hair styled and full of ribbons, Emmy is practically unrecognizable. The bright red dress and heels don't help much either. All in all, however, she makes a perfect compliment to her partner's Red Death outfit.

Which is lovely and classy! Why wouldn't it be? He's a gentleman who happens to be wearing red, that's all!

All the makeup and masks in the world can't hide Emmy's rather excitable voice and mannerisms, however, and she turns to Kimblee, beaming.]]

Isn't this exciting, Mr Kimblee? I haven't been to something this fancy since...

[[....thinking....]]

...well...ever!

[sculpted]

[[Armstrong has been quite content to wander through the throng tonight, with Stein calmly perched on his shoulder, admiring all of the costumes. He'll occasionally engage a passerby in polite conversation; after all, he grew up attending events like this, and is perfectly aware of how to act appropriately at them!

The flash of red will catch his eye and make him turn to examine the source. His eyes widen! He recognizes the inspiration for that outfit, and simply must comment on it!

So, Kimblee, have him coming up to you and looking quite affable!]]

I must say, I find your choice of costume quite marvelous! The Red Death from Le Fantôme de l'Opéra, if I'm not mistaken? It warms my heart to meet a fellow connoisseur of the arts!

[snapandscoot]

[[In all honesty, Emmy has never really attended an event as glamorous as this, and...well. Never worn anything as glamorous as this. So both of these points make for a rather happy Assistant #1! Her hair is beautifully curled as opposed to the usual, filled with ribbons, and her dress and mask compliment her quite well; the dress hugging her figure and the mask mixing perfectly with her bright red lipstick. All in all, she feels like quite the princess!

So now she's found herself standing on the side of the dancefloor, sipping at a glass of wine as she watches the couples on the floor. It makes her smile; there are so many lovely dresses and costumes! If only she got to do this more often.]]

CARDS & MASKS

[her_mouse_jesty]

Come on over and let your creativity out! Create cute cards or make marvelous masks. Just be sure to share, and try not to glue your hands together.

[takechuhome]

Hauu... these materials. Rena wants to make lots of cute stuff!

BANQUET

[her_mouse_jesty]

There's more than enough sweets to go around, so pig out! ... Well, pig out elegantly. The chocolate fountain is endlessly flowing, so take your time and treat your tongue.

[wontdieifkilled]

[Shirou is at the table, gathering food. There's already a good-sized pile on his plate.]

[mayieatthat]

[ Someone may be a little... over-dressed for the event. Gluttony had had a mask at some point, but it was getting itchy and in the way, so he'd removed it and tossed it somewhere. Not that it mattered, because this little round ball's face might as well be a mask.

While his sense of smell is definitely not as good now that he's human, there's no missing the scent of food. And the moment he enters, Gluttony's making a mad dash for the food area. He's currently shoving everything -- and we do mean everything... occasional shells, peels, and even small plates aren't even safe -- into his mouth.

There might be a bit of a mess everywhere. Just a bit... ]

POETRY CORNER

[her_mouse_jesty]

Flareons are red,
Vaporeons are blue,
Will you be my Valentine,
Because I choose you!

Enjoy this and over poetic works in the corner for those of you enjoying the written word. The mike is plugged in and ready to be used if you've got a voice and words that need sharing.

[bibliomaniac]

[ After being pestered and dragged to the masquerade by her pushy boss, Sheska quickly ducked away from him and made her way over to the Poetry Corner the moment she saw books. And with most people dancing or gorging themselves on food or just talking, it was probably the most quiet spot to be. She doesn't particularly like the green dress she wearing (just the color), nor her mask, the Pokemon poetry books are nice.

The night would be perfect if she could just read without any distractions... ]
