Overflow for Masq. Ball

[not_heavens_adam]

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.

( Original )

for Aradia

[fintastic]

[ Yes! Gotta catch all the matesprits! ]

What! How did you know who I am? You cannot tell who I am because I have a mask on!

for Kimblee

[fintastic]

Hi! [ Nope, can't stop dancing! But she does slow down. ]

I am always enjoying myself! What about you?

for Roxy

[fintastic]

[ Yes, see, look! Someone out there appreciates Feferi's moves, though Feferi herself does not have the excuse of (most likely) being somewhat intoxicated. ]

Yours are not bad either!

[ Hey, might as well close the gap, and make things more casual. Not so close as to impede any flailing dancing, though. ]

for Vriska

[fintastic]

[ In all fairness, it would be harder not to notice her. Good on Vriska. ]

Define by myself. I mean, Sollux and Aradia should be around here somewhere, I think? And Eridan is here.

[f8tal]

Yeah, I already saw Ampora, unfortunately. [She shrugs. It wasn't a very heartwarming conversation.]

Do Captor and Megido still live with you?

[fintastic]

Oh, yeah. They do.

[ Feferi hesitates, but won't allow for a full awkward pause. ]

You know he dumped me, right? Eridan I mean, and it was only a day, but still!

for Eridan

[fintastic]

[ Nope sorry Eridan she is completely oblivious, she is just having too much fun. ]

I'm dancing! You should try it!

for Rayflo

[fintastic]

Do you think so?

[ She twirls her skirts a little bit, just so they bounce and flare out. ]

I'm having tons of fun! But what about you? You deserve it, since you planned the whole thing.

[not_heavens_adam]

I do~ It suits your personality~ Bright and gorgeous~

[He looks a little surprised by that, no one had asked him. Not that he had a problem with that, it just hadn't occurred to him till then. But it earns her a huge grin and he nods.]

I am~! I'm mostly just happy people seem to be having fun~! That was the point, after all~

[fintastic]

But, there is one thing that would make it a lot better.

[not_heavens_adam]

Oh?

[He looks concerned for a moment. What did he miss?]

What's that?

[fintastic]

[ Oh no, she's putting on the cute face. Well, the extra cute face. ]

It would be perfect if you'd ask me to dance.

[not_heavens_adam]

[Feferi, how are you so adorable? He never stood a chance against that level of cute.

He bows and offers his hand to her.]

Of course, princess, how could I say no?

[fintastic]

[ Giggling, Feferi curtsies-- though she doesn't seem to be too practiced at it and almost stumbles in her fancy shoes-- and takes his hand. ]

Lead the way!

for Dualscar

[fintastic]

[ To be fair, she initiated it, and it's just playing. ]

I'm enjoying it, yeah, but I'd enjoy it more if you'd come dance with me!

[devwocean]

[He arches an eyebrow and gets to his feet, offering his arm in a courtly manner] I could see my wway clear to doin' that, if it'd please you, miss.

[fintastic]

Oh yes, quite!

[ Like a good little princess, Feferi takes his arm, though she can't help but giggle. ]

[devwocean]

[And he takes her onto the dance floor like a courtly gentletroll, then puts his arms around her and begins to lead.

There's an immediate problem, but he tries to compensate for her shortness as best he can]

[fintastic]

[ Even if it's a little awkward, she's completely elated, and keeps up as well as can be expected. ]

You're good at this!

[devwocean]

[He's quite pleased that she's so happy. Though she's smaller, the gentle curve of her horns and the shape of her face, the delicate, aristocratic arch of her fins... everything about her reminds him of someone in particular. Yet there are aspects of her that are so much better, since he can be mostly at ease with her. Aspects that aren't as good, either, but for now he's in the habit of suppressing those feelings.]

It's my pleasure to dance wwith you, Feferi. I'vve had to learn to be good at it, givven my position and my aspirations in life.

[fintastic]

[ Humming in acknowledgement, Feferi lets the conversation taper off at that note, for once not wanting to gab. It takes a lot of her concentration to remember the steps, and the rest of her attention goes towards just kind of basking in the warm and fuzzy feelings. She trips a few times, trying to take strides that are too big for her, just to keep up with him. ]

[devwocean]

[Hmm, this is getting to be a little awkward. Finally he shakes his head]

Wwait, this isn't wworkin'. [And then a smile] Do you trust me, Feferi?

[fintastic]

Huh?

[ She looks a little surprised, but nods all the same. ]

Yes! Of course I trust you.

[devwocean]

[He smiles, and slips his hands around her waist. His fingers nearly meet at the small of her back, though his thumbs are in front on either side. In a moment, he's lifted her and brought her closer, then settles her to stand on his own feet]

Stay close, princess.

[He slides his arms fully around her again, beginning to move to the music once more. Is it scandalously close? Or is this just a youngster dancing with a much taller and older man in an innocent manner, like with a favourite uncle?]
