bluh bluh huge ball

[thalassino]

Characters: Vatheon
Location: That Castle
Time: Evening, on Sunday
Style: Any
Status: OPEN. Threadjack, threadhop, spam away!

[ Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen of Vatheon— whatever your newfound stature may be, Prince, Princess, Knight, or Peasant, you will all receive a message on your SFC on the eve of Saturday regardless:

You are cordially invited to the castle for this evening's ball. In addition, you are all welcome to try and solve the riddle if it fancies you. It just may break the curse!

The invitation is unsigned, but its intentions are clear. Maybe you hadn't quite noticed the sizeable castle in the distance of the city that had sprung up, but this message would surely garner your attention toward it now.

Should you arrive at the castle, plenty of attractions await you:

Ballroom ❧ A very large and beautiful ballroom is lighted up, complete with a playing violin orchestra. While the curtains will be drawn during this event, there is a windowed view and exit on one side of the ballroom that leads to:

Smee's Rose Garden ❧ A broad and colorful spanse of a garden, complete with many paths and turns. Plenty of roses are arranged in great arches, which provide perfect little places should you need some privacy with your sweetheart. Anyone familiar will even tell you that the garden was purposefully designed for just that sort of thing.

The Riddle ❧ There is an inscription located on a noticeable plaque set in one of the garden's benches. It reads:

Two are necessary to break this curse
Riled up, upset, what kind of love?
Only this kiss will stop it from getting worse.
Look for a winged one is push comes to shove,
Look for a glance slightly dark,
Search for a pair in reluctant love.
One answers a call; that's your mark;
One longs for patria though adverse.

Dining Hall ❧ Connected to the ballroom is an extremely long hall that stretches as far as the eye can see, elegantly arranged as the dining area. Expensive and exquisite cuisine seem to be on the menu— try something new? Chances are you won't be eating from a selection such as this again anytime soon!

Dais ❧ There is a noticeable raised dais that is easily visible via any area within the ballroom. It's locked off from guests, though— what is it for...?

Do enjoy. ]

[Awkward wall-flowering about? That won't do!

Gamzee is hardly subtle as he prances makes his way over to where Tavros is standing, a wide grin curling upon his snout as he tossed a companionable arm around Tavros' shoulder, his head thudding into Tavros' for just a moment. But it is cool. That is just the ways of bulls and goats.]


Heeeeey, bro. What's up?

[toreadorkabull]

-=he stoops down to Gamzee can reach him, pressing forward gently into said companionable head butting=-

Uhh... not much, at this very moment. You?

[420]

aww, ain't nothing but going all around this beautiful motherfuckin' happernance and checkin' out how my good bros are doing at.

[toreadorkabull]

Everything, uh... seems so very fancy! It's just, maybe a little strange, but nice too!

-=for some reason he feels like he should be getting in trouble for being all around this high class fancyness. He's not sure why thought=-

[420]

Makes a motherfucker up and feel like he is all gonna break some shit here.

[Hey, Gamzee was just a simple goat. All this fancyness is definitely not his scene. For fairy tale heaven's sake, he's not even wearing clothes. Though luckily the thick fur keeps him covered will enough.]

[toreadorkabull]

Yes! That is, uh... the thing I am feeling exactly.

-=Bulls are large, even growing ones. He'd feel much more comfortable out in a meadow where birds could hand on him and everything was peaceful =-

[420]

[Exactly. Plus all that delicious grass right there for the snacking.]

Yeah. But I'm all like guessing here, that the motherfuckers wouldn't all let us in if they were so fuckin' scared of us wrecking things.

[toreadorkabull]

Oh. Well, uh... yes. That does seem, like a nice way of thinking. But I would still hate to, uh... make any messes inappropriately.

[420]

You ain't need to be fuckin' fussing about that, brother. If shit breaks, we can all like to be fuckin' fixing it again. Gotta have fun too.

[toreadorkabull]

But I am, having fun! I am here, with my best friends! And that is more than, I could ask for. It is, much better than, uh... being lost and alone, in a maze somewhere.

[420]

Yeah.

[Gamzee gets that. Well... not the part about being lost in a maze somewhere. Gamzee doesn't need mazes to get lost, but the part about thinking being the chillest when he is with his good bros? Yeah, that part he gets.

He watches the dance floor for a bit, before he turns to Tavros, squeezing his arm around his shoulders.]

Wanna dance?

[toreadorkabull]

Dance?

-=looks out at the crowd, then back down at Gamzee=-

I, uh... do not have much experience, when it comes to dancing. But I can try?

[420]

You ain't be needin' no experience to all be getting the fuck down with what up and feels right at in your pump.

[Duh.]

[toreadorkabull]

-=oh right=-

I will, uh... try to do, my very best?

-=and try not to break anything=-

[420]

Ain't more what any bro can be expecting out of his good motherfucker.

[The only thing they are going to break is the records on how off the hook awesome their dancing will be. Like their rapping.

You know. Hopefully.

Grabbing Tavros' wrists, Gamzee starts to pull him backwards towards the dance floor, seeing absolutely no possible danger in this.]

[toreadorkabull]

-=he follows his best friend out on to the dance floor, shoulder's hunched awkwardly as if trying to make himself seem smaller.

He stands there a moment, looking around at the other dancers and just sort of... starts to sway a bit.

See? Dancing!=-

[420]

[Gamzee watches him, before laughing, pulling at his wrists again to tug him into a ridiculous twirl with him.]

Ain't fuckin' hold nothing back, bro. Let it all fuckin' go.

[toreadorkabull]

-=oh god twirling! D:{ at first he's all self conscious about his hugeness and ends up fumbling a bit, but once nothing horrible seems to happen he relaxes a bit, and even starts laughing=-

[420]

[Gamzee laughs with him when he starts to laugh, his eyes bright.]

That's the fuckin' spirit, bro. Gotta cut loose with those motherfuckin' hooves you all be gotten there.

[toreadorkabull]

-=he's trying very hard, but this is probably the most awkward dancing anyone has ever seen and he's completely oblivious, trying to mimic some of the things gamzee is doing=-

[420]

[Which really isn't much of a good thing either. Sure Gamzee is really dancing very enthusiastically, but his dancing can't be called good by any stretch of the imagination.

Embarrassing would be a better word.

Shameless.

Clasless.

Oh god Gamzee what are you even doing.

He grabs Tavros' hands again to swing him around, and hopefully the people around them have just given them wide berth. It is safer.]

[bestestfurrend]

[Not everyone has given them a wide berth! In fact headed in their direction are a rather (make that very) large centaur dancing far more elegantly with a cat in a green ballgown, her feet not exactly touching the ground.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Equius notices Gamzee and Tavros dancing near them, and he bobs his head politely in their direction.]
