bluh bluh huge ball

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. ]

[Equius looks down at the new gown color, and something in the back of his mind tugs at him, like he should be flipping right the fuck out over his change in colors, and his hands actually rise to the front of the dress, like he's going to tear it off.]

[But then whatever was bothering him skitters away, as lost as those strange memories about now being able to touch Gamzee. Weird, how those things kept resurfacing at the oddest moments.]

[He bobs a quick little bow to John.
]

Thank you.

[Then he turns back to Karkat. Laying his ears flat against the sides of his head, he plucks a single rose from a nearby bush. Making sure Karkat is watching, he crushes it in his hand, grinding it into a messy pulp. Then, moving as quickly as he can, he throws it right at the fairy's face.</small.]

[Karkat bristles and shoots a glare over at John for that.]

Fuck you with all six of your fists and stop ruining this for me, jerkwad. I don't wear red anyway if I have half a choice.

[Equius doesn't even give a full reaction either, which tightens the coil of frustration in him. Perhaps it's even worse that he almost does something, only to stop. It makes his teeth bare.]

[But as things have gone, the centaur turns and does something right after. A flower - a rose - ground and mashed between sturdy palms. The symbolism is enough to mix up another kind of hate, but before he can do anything the hole mess of it is tossed in his face, pap.]

[Grumble mutter.]

[He reaches up and wipes the flower gunk away. It calls for a retaliation, of course, and it's not hard to find one. Equius is half horse, right? So he flits, not slowly, over to try and seat himself atop his back. Sidesaddle, with his dress.]

[ Don't mind him, he's just enjoying the show. ]

[Better get some popcorn.]

[Now, Equius could handle the dress. He could handle the dress changing colors. But being ridden? Without his permission?]

[Oh fuck that noise.]

[Here's hoping Karkat is an expert horseman, because he's going to have a wildly bucking and rearing centaur exploding underneath him.
]

[Well, at least he's not interfering this time, though getting gawked at isn't that great. Karkat gets no chance to tell him off for that, though, as Equius predictably starts bucking.]

Augh, hold--hold still!

[No expert horseman, he grabs for what he can: a shoulder, a handful of hair. Soon enough he has to resort to his wings and take to the air - while still yanking at the latter.]
