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.

Mr. Tatsumi thought that, too, but it's a little more complicated than that. In my world the reapers are gods, as I already said, and technically they rule the world. Some people, like me, are born into the work of dealing with corrupt souls on the orders of Lord Death and the Academy. Maybe in a really technical sense I'm a reaper too? But we're called Meisters and we're entirely human.

[Except the monkey Meister but details. In any case, she fiddles with her sleeves awkwardly, looking away from her temporary companion.]

[diehardreaper]

[ He listens in silence, free hand jammed into his pocked as the other swirls his drink.

Then there's a grin after that, followed by a laugh. ]

Cor now, that's ace, that's what that is. Never heard of it before, someone who wasn't naturally a reaper or dead.

I think that's just brilliant. Seems I still have a lot to learn about this city and everyone in it, I'd wager.

[heartandsoul]

I did a broadcast on it once...I guess I could stand to make another one. [Except with less drawings and more actual photos. Hnnnnnnnngh, drawing.] Hmm...I wish there were more Meisters or at least some Weapons here.

[diehardreaper]

Wager you'd get right knackered telling everyone new the same thing over and over again though.

[ There's a pause though as he realizes just how lucky he is here. ]

Would prolly be better seeing more people from your world around, eh? Less lonely. S'not the same, I'd think, having someone you really know versus meeting new people...

[heartandsoul]

I can just save it to show to someone instead of explaining everything over and over.

[She assumes he meant tired when he said knackered. Why oh why didn't she pay attention to how the English around her spoke when she was in London?

Oh, right, she was fighting with Soul at the time.]

It'd certainly help to have my Weapon partner with me at least. The scythe I made here is nice, but it has a completely different feel from a Death Scythe.

[diehardreaper]

Yeah, there you go. Could prolly name it An Idiot's Guide to Weapons and... what'd you call yourself again? Meister?

[ People tend to just try and use context clues to figure out what he's saying anyway. But there's a tilt of his head. ]

I'd reckon it's nothing the same at all. Good thing I had my old girl on hand when I got here. She's a bit of a mess right now though but prolly could show you sometime if you'd like.

[ And a shrug. ]

Who knows? Your partner might show up sometime. Ah, what I'd give to see that. Real synergy between a reaper and his scythe. Beautiful thing, that is.

[heartandsoul]

[At that she smiles. Yes, synergy is a good way to put resonance.]

Yeah, it is. Almost like dancing, really, though I'm not much of a dancer. [A beat as she tilts her head curiously.] You know, it might help that you're a reaper in the first place, but you're one of the few people to not be surprised by me referring to my Weapon like a person.

[...Even though he is a person, Maka.]

[diehardreaper]

I don't like letting all the details get to me, know what I mean? Worry about this and that, you'll be a right mess before you know it. This place is full of people from worlds that aren't home so... rather just let it comes as it is, eh? Your weapon's another person, mine isn't... prolly just another thing different between us.

[ A grin back. ]

Besides, I treat my girl like she's a whole other person too. The things that happen when you've had a partner for so long.
