You step into the Ballroom.

It's a sight out of a fairy tale book. The room is decorated with an elegant harvest theme. A palette of autumn colors, violets, and blacks are used in curtains, carpets, table clothes, and other decorations. There are pumpkin gourds elegantly carved on the tables, vines and cobwebs wind around and between the marble columns. The flowers used, in vases and wall decor, are dried and wilted. The overall look is nothing less than haunting.

And the people! Why, it's almost as if they're part of the decorations. Ladies in extravagant, puffy ball gowns dancing with gentlemen in sharp suits to waltzes, all of them wearing colorful masks, concealing their identity. The crowd is nothing but inviting.

Will you join them?



No post order, and rapid posting recommended. Open to all residents of the island. The Ball begins just before dusk on October 31st.

Blessed Samhain! But perhaps this year will have something different...

The tall and strong young man would slip into the ball, dressed nicely, a blue and white mask upon his face. He was intrigued by the ball, having never been to one before, he'd come mainly out of curiosity. So he'd make his way to the drinks table, grabbing a cup of punch and dipping it as he watched everyone dance.

A dashing young socialite calmly steps into the ball, an elegant black mask covering his eyes as he glides onto the scene and heads straight for the dance floor. It has been far too long since his last waltz, so he gets a partner and joins the dancers swiftly as his training kicks in. He might be lacking in height, but boy can he lead a powerful foxtrot.

A red headed fellow enters the ballroom and peers around seeing the many masks that people were wearing. He was wearing a wooden mask with a big crooked smile on it that seemed to be hand carved. He moves over by the dance floor and leans up against a wall, just watching and observing everyone dancing and moving around. He seems interested with all the masks.

Having had his fill of dancing, the youth heads over to the punch bowl. As he passes the red-headed man, he looks curiously at him before continuing on his way. Perhaps he should ask him to dance. After all, it's not good etiquette to allow someone to go the entire evening without dancing.

Helping himself to a glass of pineapple juice, he sighs contentedly and mutters "it's been far too long since my last ball... I must make the most of this. Perhaps I can make some good connections."

Appearance

Konpeitō wasn't concerned about being recognized or not, yet with all the changes he made, he doubted many would know it was him from first glance. No, what he was concerned about was starting the night off splendidly. With his arm hooked with his boyfriend's, he entered the ballroom with a completely new identity.

He wore a mask with traits taken from kitsune and oni masks. Real hair was attached to it. His dress was of wa lolita origins, with a kimono at the top and a puffy dress at the bottom. A black fox tail with a light purple tip lurked out of that dress. He wore tights and shoes that added two inches to his height. You would think the figure was a stout woman. Aside from the flat chest, the dress gave the impression of large hips.

This was an outfit Kon was working on for a while. When he was given shape-shifing, he was able to modify the design he had planned to become something spectacular. Now that he was here, he knew this was worth it. His outfit was very different from everyone else's. Just how he liked it.

A bright purple suit with sparkles woven into the cloth adorned one somewhat petite male as he slipped over towards the punch bowl to try what was inside. His mask, a bright yellow smiley face, grinned towards everyone he passed. As far as he was concerned the spookier side of the holiday was for others to appeciate- he just wanted some fun.

One figure seemed to be lingering around the edges of the room. A careful and watchful eye might even have noted them changing from a dapper gentleman's black suit and tophat over a skull mask to wearing a beautiful sky blue gown- with a burgerking king's mask. Spooky

Vladimir accompanied Konpeito to the masquerade, his arm hooked through his boyfriend as they entered the hall. Vladimir had chosen a rather simple outfit in contrast to Kon's own - an elegant tux with black leather gloves and a gunmetal gray wolf's mask.

"You know, you look very foxy tonight," Vladimir murmured in a teasing tone as he guided Konpeito to an area of the ballroom that was open, well light and where his boyfriend would be on show for all to see.



Following closely behind Vladimir and Konpeito, dressed in a long peach floor-length gown with a slightly iridescent silver overlay of flowers, was Bel, the goddess reincarnate, Beltaine.

Stopping at the refreshments table, Bel took a moment or two to adjust her silver filigree mask which had a few pale pink flowers and feathers attached to one side before she helped herself to a bit of champagne.

PurpleGrin nodded at the boy in a black mask as they both chose their beverage of choice, Grin having just a little bit of trouble seeing through their ambitious but not so practical choice of masks. They were pretty sure they'd grabbed some sparkling water. Pretty sure. Then, at least partially seing the feathers and other adornments of Bel approaching, the smiling face turned to also nod at her as well. "Seems like everyone is thirsty tonight," he cheerfuly laughed. Trying to fish a straw in through his mask's eye hole.

Bel couldn't help but smile at the young man in purple with the bright yellow mask when he greeted her.

"It definitely seems that way," she agreed, trying not to laugh as she looked at the drink her fellow student was awkwardly trying to put a straw into.

"You do realise that's champagne, right?" she asked him with a grin.
