vatheon | Masquerade! Paper faces on parade~

Who: Absolutely everyone
What: Masquerade~!
Where: The Golden Victory Club
When: Night of Saturday the 8th
Style: Whatever you want
Status: Open like the club's doors~

All day the Golden Victory club had been closed, the only people allowed in being the workers and helpers who were setting it up for the night's big event. Finally, at seven, the lights all turn on and the main doors open.

Leading up to the main doors is a red carpet walkway that will lead right into the main room. There, the usual club room is well illuminated with it's large bar at the back wall with plenty of drinks available for everyone. Along the walls, the club's chairs and some new loveseats are placed for anyone who would rather sit and socialize than stand or dance.

At the back, on either side of the large room, there are food tables with a wide selection, certain to please everyone. Along with these food tables are separate dessert tables. On their own table, there are three, large, cakes that anyone is welcome to dig into. (Although, they're just so pretty!)

In a few, strategic, locations there can be found baskets of masks just in case anyone needs one or wants to try and get one on a stubborn friend.

Lighthearted ball music and slow, peaceful songs lend to the atmosphere; loud enough to be heard and danced to, but soft enough that conversation is possible.

The hosts themselves, along with the staff of Temptationis Clementiae, are already there and in costume, as if welcoming their guests in for the festivities.

[OOC: Feel free to tag into the location threads or make your own~ It's a completely open post, just have fun!

Also, the perfectly adorable drawing was done by the wonderfully artistic Reiko~

[Not knowing where to begin is pretty normal. This is pretty extravagant, even for Yukari's tastes, so she finds herself in a similar situation, even if she is a pretty social person by nature.

The masks don't help either, since she's not about to embarrass herself by calling out to someone, only to be wrong about them; and she'll even take her own mask off as she approaches Roxas, finally becoming fed up with it. This would probably help her get a better look at people, too...

That sure is a familiar head of spiky blonde hair.]

[A familiar pokey-headed blond who seems to recognize her once she takes her mask off.]

Yukari!

[He lowers his own mask to give her a proper smile.]

...Roxas!

[She turns, and seeing him lower his mask, offers him a smile in return. Closing the distance between them, she finds a spot next to him to lean against the wall.]

Hey, what's up?

Um...

[He looks out at everything. Isn't the party what's up?]

It's really something, huh?

[......Well, yeah, but still. Not everyone's party experience is gonna be the same, right?]

Yeah. It's pretty crowded... I didn't think I'd find anyone.

Yeah, I was a little worried at first. Some of my friends are here, though.

Same here...

[She's been here there and everywhere, as much of a social butterfly as she can be, she supposes.]

Have you been enjoying it?

[Looks like he has! But figures she'll ask, to get an answer in his own words.]

It's kind of crowded, but- everyone's having a good time, and it's neat seeing them all dressed up.

[Yukari enjoys seeing the different kinds of outfits people have found or came up with for this, so she can certainly agree. Although there are some downsides to it, she supposes...]

Definitely. I couldn't even recognize some of my friends at first-- though I guess the masks don't help with that.

[They're kind of pointless, though, luckily, so she doesn't feel too bad taking hers off.]

Yeah.

There's no disguising some people, though.

You're thinking of someone specific?

...well, I was gonna say Axel, but I haven't actually seen him yet.

[He'd have to be wearing one amazing hat or something if he is here.]

[...oh.

She laughs a bit at that. Yeah, she can understand how that hair would be difficult to disguise.]

Me either, actually. Did he say he was coming?

Yeah, but- I'm not sure he really wanted to.

...That's too bad.

[If she's honest-- what she remembers of Axel, he didn't seem like the party type to her. But he also didn't seem like the type to lie to Roxas...

So if he said he was coming, he was probably around somewhere.

Maybe waiting for the right moment?]

Maybe he didn't feel like dressing up.

He probably didn't.

[He usually just wears his coat after all. Roxas shrugs.]

If he bailed on me, he'll just have to make up for it later.

Yeah...

[A chuckle, since she's not sure what else to say to that. Though she is curious about what "make up for it" means for Roxas.]

Still, I think he would've told you.

[Maybe.]

[Lots of ice cream. What else?]

You're right. He's probably just late.

Hmm.

[There's plenty else! But Yukari will be keeping her mind out of the gutter for this one-- and take Roxas's word for it, about his friend.]

... Oh yeah! [suddenly remembering] Did you see Chibi out on the dance floor earlier?

Edited 2012-09-11 10:41 (UTC)

[Thanks for that, Yukari. Roxas has been doing enough gutter-braining since last week. He doesn't need any encouragement.]

Chibi? ...what, he dances, too?

[How... do dogs dance...?]

Apparently.

[She laughs a little, thinking back on it. Although the more she does think on it, the more she sees the need to amend her statement...]

Well, I dunno if it was dancing exactly. But it sure looked like he was having fun.

That's how he usually looks.

True...

But it was pretty impressive anyway. He fit right in.

I guess I'm not that surprised, but- kinda sorry I missed it.

He's probably still around somewhere. Kinda hard to miss, if ya ask me--

I'd keep an eye out.
