The Masquerade!

[avibusraris]

Have you signed up to go to the ball? Not everyone is going, and they don't have to! But they are highly encouraged to. Whether they have a date or not depends on how they'll be getting there. If they do have a specific date then the car that picks them up will be a regular guard car, and they will be told to get into the back and be escorted that way. The guard's cannot be harmed in their car, there is a metal blockade in the car, so sorry! For those that don't have a date, they'll be expected to get into a limo, taking about six or seven inmates at once! You might find your friends in the limo on the way there, yay!

The guards will take the inmates to a secluded spot on an entirely different island than the main one the prison is on. It's a coliseum, one that's used for special events involving horses and other fun animals. The Warden special ordered a massive tent that covers the entire coliseum, and there are heat lamps scattered about within. It's cold outside, these are a must! Around the perimeter of the tent there are several guards with loaded guns. They're standing about, watching very carefully, and if anyone tries to attack another inmate or tries to escape they will be shot on sight, no questions asked.

ROLLING ON UP

[avibusraris]

[ Characters get out of their cars and come to this scene. Will they be greeted by their date, or is their date already with them? Either way, this is where everyone starts to come and are checked by the guards if they're okay to go on into the party. ]

Closed to Adam!

[whiteas]

[ Weiss is definitely waiting at her cell already in her complete outfit, checking the time as she waits for Adam and tapping her foot. She's absolutely not going to meet him anywhere, he has to pick her up. That's how this is working. ]

For Link

[mightletyouknowme]

[She had never imagined she would be getting ready for something like this again. No, for the first time, really. She had...a date? Maybe. She did know it made her nervous, which was new.

So, now, she waited for him to show up so they could go.]

Pick up for Loki!

[wayoutsidethebox]

[Wow, she had to admit that she never thought she'd ever be this dressed up. This dress probably cost more than the rest of her clothes had put together. At least they were letting them keep it.

So, with her hair up, dress on, and mask in place, she waited for her date.]

LETS GET DOWN TO BUSINESS, EREN - but anyone else can comment

[captainapathetic]

[ someone in an awfully silver mask and dark clothing is waiting. he looks familiar from behind, but maybe not. he doesn't seem to have a collar like everyone else. is he a guard? ]

closed to john

[inextricabilis]

[Clara stood in front of her cell with her legs crossed at the ankles, trying to smooth out her dress. Somehow, she found herself nervous. She was unsure how or why she was though.]

BUFFET

[avibusraris]

[ There is a massive buffet table along the outskirts of the party. Rows and rows of food have been put out, and there are several inmates that, for whatever reason, weren't allowed to go and are forced to help out. So once something runs out, an inmate will come and simply replenish it. The food varies from gourmet to simple, so take whatever you like! Looking for the bar though? That's not here at these tables. A little ways away there are several tables and chairs set up for those that want to sit and chow down. The tables have enough room for six people each, but there's tons of room! Chances of finding a secluded table are pretty high. ]

[trubel]

[ Looking for Trubel? Find it easily at the buffet table! Honestly, she hasn't even found a place to sit, she's just picking stuff up and putting it on a plate, then eating it right then and there.

Like, a lot of stuff. And with her fingers. Someone should probably mention where the silverware is because she hasn't bothered with it yet. Honestly, for wearing a dress and nice shoes, she doesn't look like much of a lady. (They're not her style anyway.) ]

[unhappy]

[ Once Joan got tired of being out on the dance floor read: watching everyone else dance if she didn't get talked into anything she headed over to go get food. She's got a nice plate of it and is sitting at one of the tables by herself for now, since she didn't spot anyone she knew right away when she first came in. ]

[tanjoubi]

[ Kougami is not that upset to be working at the buffet table. What a weirdo. But then, how better to celebrate the birth of a new year than with refreshments?

Along with the other refreshments, every so often he can be found bringing a delicious-looking cake to the table. Happy Birthday 2025! is written on each one in icing. ]

[badwolvesatbay]

[Before worrying about the dance floor, the buffet table was Ruby's first stop. And will be every stop in between. She'll stuff her face, the food being more than anything she's seen in a long time.

Hey, she's a growing girl.]

[notmynature]

[Ellie actually takes a plate and finds the stuff she recognizes to fill it up. At a table, she'll fully and happily enjoy it.

Then she goes back, adding the things she doesn't recognize for some fun and adventure. Tasting this could go badly.]

[darkerearth]

[ this would be the first place for Terra to end up. he wasn't exactly hungry when he came in but as soon as he started smelling the food, he was hungry. he's got a decent plate and going to sit and eat now. he's such a good boy and not a slob :) ]

[knaving]

[ The last thing Will was suited for was a fancy party. He never had fit in at these things and never would, so this time he wasn't even going to try. If anyone happened to catch him separate from Anastasia, it would be at the buffet. He was good at eating at least. ]

[sinspawn]

[Tidus was on his fourth--fifth? plate by now, which hadn't taken as long as it probably should. Since he was here, he decided he might as well enjoy it and try everything before going to the dance floor.]

[404eyesnotfound]

[ There is food. Megumi's not a horrible eater, but when it comes to parties, she's rather with the food than with possibly annoying crowd. She looks like straight out of a gothic mag and she's just... eating. Been doing that for most of the night.

She's not even sitting down at any table, she just has a tiny plate in her hand and is observing people as she eats. ]

THE BAR

[avibusraris]

[ Because what's a party without alcohol? There is a bar set up, complete with a long counter and chairs set up for whoever has had it with epic partying and wish to sit and drink away their sorrows. Date not show up? They die because of no candy? Come and sit and the bartender will (maybe) listen. They have a very wide variety of drinks, so whatever your little heart desires! That's right, you can get alcohol even if you are underage. Hey you're already in prison, you can't get into any more trouble than you already have. ]

[floors]

[ Did you really think you wouldn't find Hook here at least part of the night? He's got some rum and he's willing to offer drinks, dances, or many other things as the night goes on. If you get him even halfway to drunktown you might be able to get laid if you're pretty. 8'); What a scoundrel. ]

[decideformyself]

[ Guess who's never encountered alcohol before?

If you guessed this guy, you're right.

Philip is lurking at the bar, peering at the various options in contemplation. ]

[goldenstrength]

[Yang doesn't drink that much but what's a party without a little something, you know? Just...hoping that Ruby doesn't find her.]

[wayoutsidethebox]

[Skye plans to spend most of the party with people, as she could drink anytime, but that doesn't mean she won't stop by for a drink or two.]

THE DANCE FLOOR

[avibusraris]

[ Yup, it's time to listen to the tunes that the Warden has picked out personally! She's taken her time to find a lot of good songs for everyone, so let's give her a warm appreciation and dance till we can't dance anymore! Take your partner here or simply get jiggy with it by yourself and watch the stares of the people. ]

[whiteas]

[ Weiss has no problems being out on the dance floor. In fact, she's probably the opposite of what you might call a wallflower. She's been spending a lot of time with her date, but there are a few minutes where she takes a break or he has to go get punch, or any of those things. Feel free to approach her! She even looks like she's having fun, for once. ]

THE WOODS

[avibusraris]

[ Even though the entire coliseum is being used for the dance, there is an area where one could sneak away. Of course, there are guards walking along this path as well, and they're in all corners of the very secluded area, so there's no way an inmate can hide here. You know, unless you're willing to bribe a guard, they might just turn a blind eye and allow a couple inmates run off into the trees for a night of trying to get warm with one another. ]

[impureheart]

[ Anastasia sure did bribe the guards to get out to the woods. Of course, it's not for the typical reasons that people seem to be bribing guards to get out. No, Anastasia needed a quiet place to change from her white dress to a blue one and vice versa.

Essentially, she's changing clothes and has no problem attempting to break your face with a fallen branch she'd found if you stumble upon her here. ]

THE COUNTDOWN

[avibusraris]

[ Oh boy here we are! It's on to 2025! There is an area where the fireworks will start going off, so all eyes to the sky! The tent may be covering mostly everything, but the inmates can still see far into the distance. The countdown is beginning, everyone knows the drill, take off your masks once it's midnight! Oh and a Happy New Year to all! ]

[whiteas]

[ Weiss is pretty sure that it's not difficult to figure out who she is given her hair color, so the whole mask thing? It was a little ridiculous to her. Still, she kept it on until the appropriate time, keeping near one of the heating lamps as she waited for the new year to greet the world. ]

[starcharted]

[ It wasn't like anyone was going to be surprised to see who he was once he took off his mask, but the countdown was still thrilling. He'd never actually spent New Years Eve with anyone before, and the night had been everything he had imagined and more. He hoped it would end on a high note. ]

[inextricabilis]

[Clara quickly linked her arm with John and looked into his eyes, even though they were masked.]

Was it everything you dreamed for? We still have a few minutes to make it perfect.
