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. ]

[Wonderful. Karkat allows the feeling of satisfaction to settle over him, even if the way she's wiggling looks pretty ridiculous.]

I am a hatched leader in everything I do. No way in hell am I about to let magical ball-going dressomancy to be the area I fail in. And you've even got horns still, like any decent person should.

[ Nope, no more words, only tacklehugs now.

Or at least, she's trying. She's not very stable on those feet yet. ]

[Good thing he's got fairy wings! Some careful flapping from them provides enough of a counter to keep him from falling over when Feferi barrels into him, while his arms catch her from her own potential fall.]

Eesh, don't just come smacking into me like that. I get it, you're glad, great, good for you. But I am not a huggy godmother; I am distant and aloof. Now come on, give me space.

Riiiight, "distant and aloof"! Okay! Well, still, it's just this one time. I am never going to be able to hug you again after this.

[ Still, she relents, taking a few steps back. ]

I mean it though... thanks.

Good, because I am not in the market for sudden hugs from fish girls on any basis at all.

[He pauses, looking at her.]

Dragon girls? Whatever.

But yeah, you're welcome, whatever. Just fair warning: it will only last until midnight, so haul your ass out of the castle before then or you will bust some walls, I'm sure.

I'll remember! I'm gonna go now, I don't have time to waste!

[ Hopefully Karkat is smart enough to look away, because it's really embarrassing watching her try to move in that dress. ]

[Karkat just sighs, and buries his face into a palm.]

Yeah. Have fun. Don't get drunk, it makes you stupid.

[But otherwise, he lets her go. He'll stay here, himself, on the off chance someone else needs his magical aid.]
