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. ]

[GAH. That just got her flustered all over again.]

That...that's a secret! It's nothing that's as bad as losing memories, though!

Oh okay. You don't have to tell me.

[He didn't mean to fluster her again! Ah, he feels like he's doing a really bad job, here.]

[Honestly, this was downright tame compared to how she usually reacted when she was upset or angry.]

Who are you, anyway?
a_violent_end: (it's cold and hard and petrified)

[personal profile] a_violent_end 2012-02-13 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
My name's Shizuo. I'm a huntsman.

Ah - [Clear confusion spreads across his face, because...that wasn't exactly right. And yet, he dressed, worked, and even thought like a hunter.]

I think.

[He shrugs.]

What's your name?
disastergirl: (☆ conundrums and words)

[personal profile] disastergirl 2012-02-13 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
I'm-- [She paused and made a face as she tried to remember. After all, she wasn't 'Jane' anymore. She was 'Snow Maiden' now, as far as the curse was concerned.]

Jane. I think.

It's hard to remember. But.

[A smile.]

It's nice to meet you.
disastergirl: (☆ it's tea time)

[personal profile] disastergirl 2012-02-13 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Likewise, I suppose...

[She's totally not awkward, what are you talking about?]

These aren't very good circumstances, though.

[Shizuo nods.]

They could be worse, though.
disastergirl: (☆ the place where the sun doesn't set)

[personal profile] disastergirl 2012-02-13 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... I mean the barrier could be breaking for good or something like that!

[personal profile] a_violent_end 2012-02-14 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
What do you mean?
disastergirl: (☆ conundrums and words)

[personal profile] disastergirl 2012-02-14 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
Well, there's a barrier that keeps...something out. It's getting hard to remember that, too...

[Which was probably why she could talk about the barrier breaking and the city being flooded with water so casually.]

[personal profile] a_violent_end 2012-02-14 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[A beat.]

That must have been before I got here. Unless my memory is more screwed up than I think.

[He tries to think about it, but...no. Nothing. No memory of a barrier or a "something" behind it.]
