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."]

[He spins her around.] Now you know.

[personal profile] technologic 2013-05-30 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
[She giggles as she's spun around.] Yep! And dancing with you is always the best.
alephbet: (That's why I don't want to be a Messiah)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-05-30 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Why thank you. [Dip.]
technologic: (❦ Waking up at the start)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-05-30 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[She squeaks in surprise at the dip, before giggling even more.] Though I still plan to get a score as good as yours at a dancing game someday.
alephbet: (That were left behind)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-05-30 01:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't let that happen, I'll have to get even better.
technologic: (❦ Like a half a mile an hour)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-05-30 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I'll have to keep trying to get better too.
alephbet: (And I'm coming 'round to rain)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-05-30 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
You'll never catch me.
technologic: (❦ Is burning to the ground)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-05-30 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I bet I will! I'll practice everyday so that I'll catch up with you, or at least be right behind you!
alephbet: (His crown lit up the way as we moved)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-05-30 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope.

[And while hopefully nobody's looking, he steals a quick kiss.]
technologic: (❦ Of the end of the world)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-05-30 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I will- [She squeaks in surprise at the kiss, now turning obviously red underneath her mask.]
alephbet: (Leaving his lady alone)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-05-30 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Oops. I guess I might get kicked out for bad behavior.
technologic: (❦ Waking up at the start)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-05-30 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Blink, before she giggles quietly.] W-weeell, I won't tell a-anyone.
alephbet: (That's why I don't want to be a Messiah)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-05-30 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, good. You're the best girlfriend, letting me kiss you.
technologic: (❦ Like a half a mile an hour)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-05-30 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
A-and you're the best boyfriend for kissing me.
alephbet: (Think I'm the only one)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-05-31 12:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Who wouldn't?
technologic: (❦ Of the end of the world)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-05-31 12:37 pm (UTC)(link)
... E-eh? [Blink, blink up at him.]
alephbet: (I'll be here to hold your hand)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-05-31 12:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm saying I love you a lot and that means I like to kiss you.
technologic: (❦ Really special about me all this time?)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-05-31 12:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Asdfghjkl-] I-I love you a lot too a-and, um, I really like kissing you.
alephbet: (The wind and I)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-05-31 12:46 pm (UTC)(link)
We're one of those couples that hold hands in public all the time.
technologic: (❦ Can you tell me what was ever)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-05-31 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Hehe, pretty much... B-but I like holding your hand.
alephbet: (Messiahs die young - Messiahs die young)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-05-31 12:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I never complained about it.
technologic: (❦ Can you tell me what was ever)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-05-31 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I-in that case, I'll make sure to not stop doing it.
alephbet: (That's why I don't want to be a Messiah)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-05-31 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Great, sounds good to me.
technologic: (Default)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-05-31 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Does that mean I can hold your hand later?
alephbet: (Well the slow boat leaves at one)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-06-01 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
As long as you want to.
