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. ]

[ doot doot doot ]

[ pucker up ]

[ here let me give you a soundtrack for that ]

[ the proof is in the pudding ]

[ DON'T TAG THIS I'M NOT KIDDING— it's a cliquey castle ok ]

[ So how is everyone enjoying their meals? Pretty tasty, right? Well don't get too comfortable... because anything that is close to the edge of the table is mysteriously gone!

That's right- fish, shrimp, bread, pudding- you name it! Any of the food is either half eaten or completely disappeared.

The culprit? An invisible blue penguin that is... well, invisible. So sadly you can't see it. However, there is a suspicious looking male pretty close to your table. He is looking slightly oblivious, but the boy is chewing on something.

Dare to confront for your missing food? ]

[A rather meagerly dressed fox is sitting on an oversized chair with his paws on the table, just...staring at the food prepared. Specifically, a rather large roasted chicken. He looks extremely pensive and kind of terrified.]

[For some reason, Reynard feels as though he should not eat that bird... But he really really wants to...]

[The little mouse that rode to the ball in the fox's shirtwaist pocket pokes his head out, and crawls up near the fox's paws.]

Are you hungry? I'm pretty sure the food is for everyone.

[Guess who is packing up all the food into the biggest sack he could find?]

[Okay, so the half-Phoenix boy here isn't exactly getting everything. But he certainly seems to be doing his best! What's his plan for all that food, then...?]

[ It's hard being a giant dragon. It's hard and no one understands. Feferi has laid herself on a decent-sized pavilion, as close to the castle as she can get. As noise comes from inside, she cranes her neck longingly towards the nearest window. It seems like a bad idea, but... ]

[It's quite obvious she doesn't like crowds of people too much, as this Handmaid's sitting in the garden and simply enjoying the sight around her]

[Zelda's looking at the plaque intently. She's dressed in a Zora tunic with a tiny dagger tied in her hair. Between speaking with Lysunder and kissing Sola, she remembers who she is... for now, at least. But does this last addition to the riddle still fit the pair Signless told her about? She's not sure.]

[A side glance to the mouse who, oddly enough, he's friends with, such a delicious little friend... Ugh, he looks away, eyes on the pri- er... sadly killed bird that looks so scrumptious and...]

[Whine.]

Fairly. But, I feel like it is against what I should, be it what I want or not.

[You did not just. Vegeta's been trying for a decent meal for awhile now.]

I was EATING THAT!

[There is a centaur in the garden, built like a warhorse and white from horn-tip to hooves. The exception are the pair of brilliant blue eyes he possesses. For now, he is down amongst some forget-me-nots, idly studying a blue rose he has in one hand. In the other, he has a quill which he uses to jolt down something in a leather notebook he has down against the ground.]

[For any who would wander near or catch his eye, well... Darkleer may be a gentleman, but he is also a centaur. Upon realizing someone is close by, he will look up, quiet and serious... before the expression melts into a slow, confident, and welcoming smile.]

[He won't mind a bit of company. Not at all.]

-=standing off against one of the walls is a rather large, spotted, brown minotaur. He looks shy but curious, feeling huge and out of place but watching everything with interest. His weight shifts from one large hoof to the other, tail swishing back and forth as the music plays=-

[ fjdkbgsfh OH WHOA JUMPING FROM THE VOICE.

Hey that was kinda loud- ]

Huh!? Eating what? [ Yeah he doesn't get it. ]

[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?

[Before Shouma even realized, he'd been kicked in the stomach. Hard.]

YOU!!
WHAT do you think you're doing stealing my food?! And eating it right in front of me too, like I wouldn't even notice!

[Chie is definitely not happy. As if you couldn't tell. She's standing in her usual hands-on-hips pose, glaring straight into his eyes with a fiery look to them. That food was very important to her.]

That was the first good steak I've had since I got here! Don't think I will let you get away with that..

My food just vanished!

[He's pointing at the table angrily. Nevermind that the rest of the table still had food on it, he'd had his eyes on that roast.]

[Ringo's eyes slide over to Shouma as she walks over to the food, holding her clasped hands in front of her. That was a lot of food to just up and disappear like that, after all.

But could he have really eaten it all?]

Were you really that hungry? We have a lot of food at home too, you know...

[He didn't have to eat like a pig. :T]

[For better or worse, Sola is himself at the moment. He knows he should be searching for the last princess as he told Zelda he would, and indeed that was his intent in coming to the castle, but he can't stomach a crowd right now. In fact, he can't stomach being inside the castle right now, knowing Zelda is in attendance as well.

So he finds himself wandering the paths of the gardens, mindlessly meandering between rose bushes and under floral arches until he comes to the very same patch of forget-me-nots among which Darkleer currently resides, flattening a small corner of the flowerbed before he becomes conscious of his surroundings.]

Oh, uh... sorry if I bothered you.

[ But there is so much food on there already...

Shouma's eyes narrow with question. ] Maybe you ate it all! Why are you telling me this?

Wait— [ A beat. ] —I didn't take it if that's what you're thinking!

[ The white sphinx has his wings tucked quite neatly against his back, and is studying all of the food with the eerie intensity that cats can. Well. All the meat is getting studied.

Who cares if his face is human, all this cooked meat is very fascinating.

He just needs to figure out which to try to eat first, and whether he should bother with anything resembling manners. ]

[Familiar, yes, but he doesn't think much of it as he pads through the garden looking for anything of value he might enjoy getting his paws on. Summoner's just gotten here after all, having yet to find the dining hall and all it's food based wonders. Eventually he'll get there, but for now he'll perhaps make a little trouble here...]

[And this woman seems fairly well dressed... perhaps~]

[He'll just...]

[Watch to see if she does have anything good on her. His friend...perhaps, but they haven't known eachother too long, have they?]
