Overflow for Masq. Ball

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.

Well, I don't know you that well, but you're...

[He thinks for a moment. "Stubborn" isn't the word he's looking for, that makes it sound like a bad thing.]

...determined.

I don't think it's something to be envied. I had to go through a lot to get to where I am today. [pause]

Being determined is something that everyone has with them, it's just finding out how to rise above your situation.

[personal profile] coolerthansora 2012-09-17 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know about that. Some people give up easy, or run away.

I don't think you would.

I had to learn a lot about...[being the Merines? UH...] being looked up to but that's just what I had to do.

I'm just so determined because I don't want anyone else to be placed in my situation ever again.
coolerthansora: (easy smile)

[personal profile] coolerthansora 2012-09-17 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Not everybody thinks that way, you know.
shirleyhopeful: (._.)

[personal profile] shirleyhopeful 2012-09-18 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I certainly hope not.

...I can't imagine what would happen if they were put in a situation as I was.
coolerthansora: (curious)

[personal profile] coolerthansora 2012-09-18 02:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I meant- thinking about other people like that...

[What kind of awful situation was she in?]
shirleyhopeful: (Have I mentioned that I hate my life?)

[personal profile] shirleyhopeful 2012-09-19 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[She paused for a bit before letting a out a sigh.]

I still think most people would but...I'm just learning from my own mistakes so others wouldn't do the same.

[And another pause]

Do you remember when I told you about my sister? Well, I guess you can say I was in a similar situation with you and Sora.
coolerthansora: (isn't this what friends do?)

[personal profile] coolerthansora 2012-09-20 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Your sister...?

[Roxas thinks for a moment. Shirley did bring her up once, but he doesn't remember her saying too much. Somehow he's not sure it's much like him and Sora.]

You mean.. like you were jealous of her?
shirleyhopeful: (._.)

[personal profile] shirleyhopeful 2012-09-20 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[She nodded]

Yes, she...was everything that I wasn't back then. She was raising me on her own so she was able to do anything. She was someone people could run to and help them. I guess...she was everything that I wasn't back then.
coolerthansora: (simple tragedies)

[personal profile] coolerthansora 2012-09-20 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
So you tried to be more like her...?
shirleyhopeful: (Next time I won't burnt the pie)

[personal profile] shirleyhopeful 2012-09-21 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
In a sense, a little bit.

But I just couldn't because in the end, there wasn't much I could do. I'm not her and she isn't me. No matter what, I couldn't get [Senel] others to see me as her. It...doesn't work that way.
coolerthansora: (curious)

[personal profile] coolerthansora 2012-09-21 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
...

That's why you said all that stuff to me, isn't it?

You don't- still feel like she's better, do you?
shirleyhopeful: (Ttly not hiding anything)

[personal profile] shirleyhopeful 2012-09-21 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
I would be lying if I said that I didn't. There are times that I do feel like she is but ultimately, I don't.

I'm just...not her and she's not me. [She bit her lip a bit before continuing on] I wish that I had a chance to talk to her about it before she passed away.
coolerthansora: (curious)

[personal profile] coolerthansora 2012-09-21 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
...sorry.

I know it might not count for much since- I don't know what's going on in your world, but... I think you're doing pretty well.
shirleyhopeful: (Oh u gais)

[personal profile] shirleyhopeful 2012-09-22 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
It's okay, I just have to do my best to make it up to her.

[But she shakes her head a bit]

Actually no, I don't need to do that. I should just make people happier, that's all I can do.
