Event Open Masquerade Ball 2019

Appearance
Konpeitō chuckled at Vladimir's joke. "Don't be such a dog," he replied, rather amused that he could get away with such awful jokes.

The ball had only recently begun, yet many people were here and already mingling. He looked around at everyone enjoying themselves, then looked down at Vladimir. "Would you like to find something to eat? I want to dance, but I'm unsure if it would be better to dance on a full stomach or dance without feeling full."

Sazz strolled into the ballroom with most, if not all the confidence in the world . He wore a fairly simple, but elaborate owl themed mask, and an ordinary tuxedo. It wasn't overly fancy, but it did look good. He was grinning like an idiot. He even opted to score a date for the evening.

"Well, we're here and you look really nice," he said to Wednesday, he'd offered an arm for her to take as they entered. "Let's try and have some fun tonight."

@Lotharingia

The boy's ears peeked up at that. Champagne, eh ? Maybe he ought to have just a little. Just to taste. A little. Not for the purpose of enjoying it or anything.
He looked curiously over at the two, smiling politely as he sipped his juice but wondering why on earth one of them was trying to sip champagne through a straw. In a mask that covered their entire face.
Finishing said juice and giving a nod in their direction, Yuki left in search of some food. Perhaps they might even have canapés.

At as contrast, Wednesday followed inside looking characteristically nervous as usual. While she might normally have opted for some sort of glamour to hide her skin to help stay anonymous, the current fickleness of magic made that a bit of a risky venture she didn't want to attempt. So she came dressed up a bit more than she normally would, with a nice black dress to contrast her green, leaving her arms and the swirling black tattoos across them exposed, accompanied with a small catlike mask for her face.

She looked all around the room, gawking at the different costumes and people and decorations present. She had an idea of what to expect coming in, but it was still quite a surprise. So much so that she was still gawking when Sazz complimented her.

"Oh, um, thanks." She giggled nervously, before reaching out and taking his hands. "So, where should we start? I think I'll be following your lead for most of this."

@Max!!

Of course Wednesday was nervous about the whole thing. Sazz wasn't surprised at that at all. She was always so reserved and quiet, the exact opposite of him. Even their masks were opposites he had an owl and she was a cat. He was giving some thought of where to start. What would be the most fun?

"Well, there aren't exactly rules per say. We could dance," he offered, gesturing to the dance floor. Sazz did about halfway figure Wednesday wasn't the best dancer. But dancing was about having fun more than anything else. The whole event was about having fun actually. "Or we can strut around like fancy socialites sipping drinks and chatting with people."

@Lotharingia

Though he had been to a few of the balls held on the island, the masquerade ball was one he was yet to experience. Being on the island for a couple of years now, he knew a lot more people but the feeling of not knowing who anyone was again was refreshing but also made him nervous. Of course, knowing some people's scents gave the game away a little but the ball was so crowded that it would be hard to pinpoint who he knew and who he didn't.

The boy wore a simple navy suit with a maroon tie that he had bought for such occasions now that he finally had an income of his own, along with a plain black mask covering his eyes. He hated dressing formally, as well as dancing, so some would think that this wouldn't be his sort of do. However, if the island had taught him anything, it was that there were so many new things to try and they might surprise you.

Looking a little lost in the swaying of people, he smiled at those he passed, feeling too awkward to dance, especially on his own. Food; maybe that was a safe bet. He made his way over to pick at what was laid out.

Now at the buffet table, the youth was absolutely delighted at the spread. While the canapés were rather basic, sticking mostly to safe flavours like ham, salmon, cheese and was that beetroot? He'd have to try it later.
In any case, the range of desserts really caught his eye. Fruit cocktails, mini cheesecakes, brownies and even pies? Yuki was in heaven. He visibly enjoyed every bite, eyes closing with pleasure as he savoured each and every flavour. His smile was widening with each and every thing he tried; he had definitely been right to come here tonight. Dancing, good food, a good atmosphere... Yes. Yuki had missed going to ballroom events.

As a young fellow approached the table, Yuki greeted him with a small nod and a happy smile. "Wonderful evening we're having, isn't it?" He began. "I'd definitely recommend the salmon. A classic, perhaps even cliché, but it was handled well." Internally, he realised that all this sugar was probably making him a little bit hyper. It might explain why he was so talkative.

@Wolfie

Noting that the boy in the black mask was talking to him, he smiled and replied. "Yeah, it's a cool ball," he answered despite not being entirely comfortable there. It felt strange that he was no longer a student and yet there were so many people younger than him, it seemed. For some reason, he didn't feel old enough to be an adult, no longer in education.

"Oh yeah?" he said, reaching for a sample of the suggested salmon. He nodded as he chewed, putting his thumbs up at the boy in approval. The food always seemed like the best part of events such as this and he was prepared to try everything he liked the look of.

@Hope the Bard

"Well..."

She wasn't completely against heading to the dance floor, but, well, she figured she'd need to work up some courage before they jumped right into that.

"Maybe later, I um, don't really mind mingling a bit first." She said, before gesturing her head to the crowds around them. "There's some...really interesting outfits here, aren't there? I um, feel like we're a little underdressed."

She had another small nervous chuckle to herself as she glanced around. She felt they really did add to the whole extravagant feel of the night.
