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.

I know you did what you could, Anastasia.

[he was actually being serious for once, because of course this situation called for it. he had been so upset when he found out about it, but right now he could barely remember his own actions. he had been violent, that much still lingered in his mind.

as they danced he kept close to her, his voice low as well.]

She did it to get back at me, along with all the other people on that list. It was only to cover up the one she really wanted dead, Babydoll. So you know that I can never let things stand as they are, right? There's even more reasons to destroy that bitch.

[ It wasn't blame then. As Pietro's words passed through his lips, Anastasia kept silent as though she was trying to determine just what it was he was seeking. From the way his words were going, it was affirmation.

But that was something she could stand with regardless of whether he checked or not. After all, his loss of Babydoll was something she could certainly empathize and sympathize with. ]

You know I've no intention of stepping down either. What she did to you through Babydoll is a threat to all of us. You're not the only one whose heart was kept with someone else she's got under her thumb. Don't think I've taken kindly to her threatening you.

Oh really-?

[he had been totally serious during this little conversation, but that was sure interesting.]

You wanna stick up for me, Queenie?

[ Her tone almost cold once more as she starts to slip back into that personality that she'd been trying to abandon for Will. The good person was who she wanted to be, but if it came to fighting for Will and having to make the harder decisions, she wouldn't hesitate to cut someone's head off with her own two hands.

She couldn't help but parrot Pietro's own words back at him from a particular private situation between the two of them, almost teasingly. ]

What was it you told me once, darling? "It was hotter when no emotions were involved"? Would you rather take that back now if you want me to say I'm sticking up for you?

Hmm...

[as they danced and the music picked up, he just stayed quiet as he thought about that. yeah, he liked it when no emotions were involved, made it was easier for him to trick people and torment them too. pietro was never a nice man, he did like killing people and such, but he had his sights set on other things right now.]

Sure, why not. Hey I like you- no denying that.

Then if you expect my loyalty I expect yours.

[ Not that she would trust him even if he swore it. She knew all too well that even the vows of a marriage were no guarantee that someone could be trusted. There had been many promises of loyalty given to her in the past and they'd turned out to mean nothing.

Still, if they're going to be friends, she might as well just flat-out say it. Her voice lowered a little, as though it was a little more meaningful than the first time she said it. ]

I really am sorry.
