sageprincess: (Clever words)

they've got all the right friends in all the right places

Characters: "Pandora" and the Tower populace.
Setting: Floor 82 - The Masquerade Ballroom.
Format: Party style - pick your poison.
Summary: As the lights begin to flicker and the month rapidly draws to its close, the mysterious "Pandora" has invited the residents of the Tower to a masquerade ball.
Warnings None as of yet.


"Between the noise you hear, and the sound you like..."

Well, now, that invitation certainly was mysterious, huh? Who is Pandora, and what's the occasion for this party she's holding? And what was that message on the back all about?

Remember this: There will come a time when everything around you seems to be not what you thought it was, and you won't know what to believe about anything at all. At that time, look for something that is still true.

In the wake of the chaos caused by those rumors written on the walls, perhaps it seems like a too-late warning. In any case, the ballroom on the eighty-second floor shimmers and shines exquisitely, awaiting the guests' arrival. The dance floor is open and spacious, and, as promised, refreshments line a buffet table on one of the far walls. While much of it has obviously been nicked from the cafeteria, there is also a variety of meats and seafood not otherwise available in this month's menu.

Yes, this also means there is alcohol.

Take care not to lose the mask that is placed upon your face the instant you step off the staircase, however. You don't want to be the single recognizable person in a crowd of anonymous dancers, do you?

Who knows what you might hear from a masked stranger...

"... are we just sinking in an ocean of faces?"



[Description of Floor 82 from the setting page: "A masquerade party is taking place in this intricately decorated, expensive-looking ballroom, and you're going to have to participate. As soon as you step onto this floor a mask is placed on your face. Anyone wearing a mask is completely anonymous even to those with supernatural abilities. You can take off a mask, but anyone with their mask off is compelled to truthfully answer any question they're asked."]

Yeah, that is true... [She looks at the dance floor again, looks like she's about to move from the wall, and then clams up again.] ... J-just wish the nerves would stop.
alephbet: (And I'm a lionheart)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-05-28 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure no one will judge you; you've just got to dance like you don't care.
technologic: (❦ Really special about me all this time?)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-05-28 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
... A-a-and nobody knows who I-I am anyway. [Just gonna swallow her nerves and go onto the dance floor.]
alephbet: (Well he only gets hung)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-05-28 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Aleph follows her and takes her by the hand.] Mind if I lead?
technologic: (❦ Of the end of the world)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-05-28 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
E-eh? [Blink, blink up at him.] Ah, um, I don't mind at all.
alephbet: (All of those things that I wanted to be)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-05-28 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Then, he'll start leading her in a simple dance in time to the music.]
technologic: (❦ Really special about me all this time?)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-05-28 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[And despite her anxiety, she follows his steps easily.]

Ah, a-am I doing this right?
alephbet: (And I'm a lionheart)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-05-28 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
You're doing great, don't worry.
technologic: (❦ Can you tell me what was ever)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-05-28 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
O-okay, that's good... I've only really danced with my boyfriend before, s-so this is new.

[Even though this is your boyfriend, April.]
alephbet: (Well the slow boat leaves at one)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-05-28 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, really? Is he a good dancer?

[Does Aleph know him?]
technologic: (❦ Waking up at the start)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-05-28 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
[There is the slight possibility.]

Yeah, he's absolutely amazing! We dance together a lot, though I doubt I'll ever get as good as him.
alephbet: (Leaving his lady alone)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-05-28 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Does his name... start with A?
technologic: (❦ Of the end of the world)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-05-28 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm? [Blink, blink.] Ah, yeah, it does! Do you know him?
alephbet: (That's why I don't want to be a Messiah)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-05-28 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
My name starts with A, and ends in -leph.
technologic: (❦ Of the end of the world)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-05-28 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Blink.] ... A-Aleph?
technologic: (❦ Is burning to the ground)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-05-28 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[She squeaks quietly as she turns faintly red.] ... O-oh, I feel kinda silly now.
alephbet: (Well the slow boat leaves at one)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-05-28 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry. You had no way of knowing.
technologic: (❦ Can you tell me what was ever)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-05-28 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
T-true... Though I gave myself away t-too easily.
alephbet: (Now I'm free)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-05-28 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
I could've been wrong.
technologic: (❦ Waking up at the start)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-05-28 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
But you weren't. I'm not sure how many other people have a boyfriend who is an awesome dancer who they dance with a lot.
alephbet: (And I'm a lionheart)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-05-28 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
More people should, dancing is a great stress reliever.
technologic: (Default)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-05-28 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly! It also hurts a lot less than fighting, plus it's way more fun.
alephbet: (Shake it out shake it out)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-05-28 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think my demons would take up dancing.
technologic: (❦ Who're waving goodbye)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-05-28 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
... True. Plus, I can't really imagine Beelzebub dancing.
