Player plot: DRESSIN FANCY AND GETTIN DRUNK (IN MASKS)

[implying]

HEY GUESS GUESS WHAT MASQUERADE!!!!

By which I mean, you may have heard whispers floating around Plurk and the main comm and such about some kinda crazy ball thing, with fancy clothes and masks, and it is all true!! Vanadi will be throwing a masquerade ball, as first mentioned on this post (which is still being tagged, so you're welcome to hit it up if you like!), hopefully at some decadent time in European history, and there will be all sorts of delicious food and spiked drinks. 8] He's open to help from BASICALLY ANYONE, so if you'd like to get your character involved, it can be done!

Here's what I've got so far for characters that volunteered AND VANADI WILL TOTALLY HOLD YOU TO THAT:

Entertainment
Ranka — singing
Jacquese — piano
Leliana — singing
Takegami — singing/piano
Lucy('s spirit summon) — lyre
Simmaeri — singing

Catering
Adrasteius
Sylar
M'gann
Claire (cupcakes!!)
Jesse (cookies!!)
Madoka (+ decorating)
Rika

Security
Samus
Cairistiona
Tenel Ka
Eddie Riggs
Snow (unofficially a bro)
Riku
Naoto
Jaina

Decoration
Asami
Wanda??
Equius (heavy lifting!!!)
Emma Frost (location scouting)
Taicea
Utena
Blaine
Kaycee
Jericho/Joey

Costumes Help
Feferi (masks)
Collette (masks)
Lelouch (costumes) (also, everything)

Misc helping out (duties to be assigned)
Castor
Maya (Borderlands II edition)
Maya (tiny edition)
Artemis
Ed Elric
Nananea

Let me know if I missed anyone! Also, there's always room for more, and especially if anyone wants to volunteer to help with making dresses/suits/masks/FANCY THINGS.

Let me know if you want your character to participate with the setting up/hosting/stuff like that! We can thread something out or just handwave it and say they got roped into it somehow. Vanadi will totally be hooking characters up that have the same job/related jobs/can help one another somehow, so it would be a good opportunity for CR. (B

As for the event itself, I'm aiming for late November/early December, depending on what works best for people! It will be held somewhere in history, since Exsilium isn't exactly the picture of class, what with all the dystopian vibes and rubble, and it will last for a good 8 hours. The Initiative will agree to send Transports back for this, but only under the condition that they'll all be locked into the building, the better to not fuck something important up in history. Vanadi will proooobably not be making that part an actual announcement, because he doesn't want to scare anyone out of attending, but characters are welcome to find out/take objection. Just lemme know if you want to do something like that.

And finally, there are not any scheduled giant explosions, monster attacks, pirate battles, or memories brought to violent life... but that doesn't mean this all has to go off without a hitch. If you've got any ideas or want to stir up an IC ruckus, contact me! (private plurk me at buttadventure, or PM thebutt, or AIM me at the p0rn nun) We can definitely work something out, if anyone is inclined.

AND NOW A POLL. Which, after many trials and tribulations, is actually over here now! Sorry to make you click around, I THINK I UNDERSTAND POLLS NOW. FOR... NEXT TIME.

Thanks for reading, guys! Feel free to use this post to plot, and I'll have a thread up for any questions you may have.

Comments

Questions go here!

[implying]

LAY EM ON ME

[ex_symbioses706]

oh, actually - are we assuming people can get outfits from idk shops in the present?

[implying]

what do you mean january is the same thing as december isn't it

[deathwarder]

EUROPEAN HISTORY YOU SAY

so basically the perfect setting for high fantasy hobknobbing :3c

Varian-mun and I have been discussing a potential confrontation between Deathwing and Varian at the party, but I don't think it's going to be anything major. Just Varian freaking out and trying to take a swing, DW shrugging it off and going back to being fabulous. Yeah. More details on this as I talk to them, though.

[bloodspeaker]

gonna be a huge control freak about the food tbh

[moonlight_my_path]

really now

[chittybang]

Decoration
Asami
Wanda??

^ aww roomies at work togetherrr ;A;

SO YES ANYWAY. Sounds good to me! It'll be a nice way for newbies to ease into the whole time traveling experience, too. :)

I'd also be more than happy to thread setting up someplace, because now Assy is actually kind of worried about feng shui when she thinks about it gosh vanadi. It'd be fun for me, so maybe for others? Anyways I'm excited!

[implying]

we'll definitely have SOME kind of set-up thread! either in the main masq log, or maybe up a few weeks earlier. SOMETHING LIKE THAT. EXPECT IT.

[breakablegirl]

omigoooooshhhhhhhhh.

Claire's gonna love this. LOVE THIS.

Sign Claire up for making cupcakes okay. She's got amazing cupcake making skills. It's her second special ability no rly. (Not really)

Who wants to hang with Claire at ze party?

[whatsupcroc]

hey claire hey maybe a little hang out time?

[strategic_guile]

Decorating. Heheheheheh. When our thread gets far enough, Blaine will probably volunteer to help with the decorating because tall people are invaluable to decorating.

Also, that AIM name is pretty amazing.

[chittybang]

yes do join. tall squad go.

[defending]

December 14th-16th, because it's usually after exams, but it's before Christmas, for a lot of college kids and also idk it's a good weekend.

Also Buffy will be there. Skeptically but pretty and ready for mingling.

[thalassian]

AZRAEL DEMANDS TO BE INVOLVED the rest of my characters can fuck off tbh

[deathwarder]

but what if dw wants to take kael to prom

:(

[mutelunatic]

WRONG ACCOUNT CHELL DOESN'T EVEN GO HERE but Kaycee might be willing to help with decorating.

i'll need to find an ic reason for her to volunteer.

[implying]

got kaycee noted! meanwhile i expect chell to just portal her way in through one wall and out through the ceiling, pls

if you'd like to handwave it, we could say vanadi ran into her and pretty much just OH GOSH THERE'S SO MUCH TO BE DONE SO MUCH DECORATING I'D LOVE TO HAVE A HAND OH LOOK YOU HAVE TWO HANDS +200% more charming. or we could thread it out if they run into each other on the network!

[whatsupcroc]

apparently I can't really vote but I say Dec 7th weekend since we're big on backtagging, new characters an be in, and then those in finals are able to slowly filter in as best works for them and again backtagging is a big thing in this game, so starting earlier seems to make more sense to not crash into the end of December holiday season!

MAKING MASKS

[whatsupcroc]

Collette will help with mask making in a general sense too, she's already making one for herself and Caesar because he was enough of a sucker to say sure, she could so IF THIS IS HELPFUL people Colls can help with Venetian style masks!

[onemoredeath]

Ahahaha it tells me I have no permission to do anything with the poll.

ALSO, Takegami can also play piano, do stuff with the bar as in entertaining bartender type and sing, but it will be all in Japanese - the singing that is.

[implying]

sorry about that! the poll is over here now.

[falsehoods]

So....okay.

Feel free to say "Uhm, no, Psi!" to this but I had a thought.

Would Loki be able to attend the ball, then teleport out of the building and go hunt down the past version of the castle he is currently living in so he can murder the lord's advisor and take his form then convince the lord to build all kinds of hidden rooms and traps into the place? /breathes

....Loki wants his home to be suitable to the God of Mischief.

/pointless comment

[whatsupcroc]

oh my gosh Loki LMFASDLKJ you are such a card

[hostage]

THE POLL IS BROKEN but I vote Dec 7th-9th. And Jesse will... make... cookies.

/stares at Collette..................



General plotting here for anyone who wants Jesse for anything related.

[whatsupcroc]

Master Pinkman let's make all the cookies

[accidentalrebellion]

I'm getting an error message on the poll, that I don't have permission on it, just as a heads up o/ But I vote December 7-9

Also, Katniss would be less than enthused about this idea, but I am more than open to her being dragged there and effectively being miserable the whole time because what is being forced to be social. h e h

[oratory]

And whoever drags Katniss effectively drags Peeta. mo_om

[kingside]

So I completely missed the post where volunteering took place on account of not being in the game at that time, but I have absolutely nothing against Lelouch somehow being conscripted into helping to sew PRETTY DRESSES or possibly suits or just in general helping to decorate, cook, organize... yeah. He has buckets of experience in helping to get parties off of the ground and is a pretty good clothing designer/sewing type person. And a damn good cook. And yeah.

... And yes sexy masks and costumes please this could not possibly be more up Lelouch's alley.

[ex_symbioses706]

make something for your new favorite alien girl, lelouch

[celestial_wizard]

Oh gosh I missed the volunteer post too. But Lucy would offer her help for entertainment. By which I mean, she would summon one of her spirits to play the Lyre to sing/play the lyre with the others in entertainment. :D;

[implying]

noted! :D

[imperfect]

Also missed the volunteering, but would anybody want to conscript this loser into helping with something? o/ bonus points if it's decorating, because uh. Although he could make clothes if he had the material...

[strategic_guile]

Yes, come help~ Blaine will give you a boost so you can reach high enough to put up the streamers~!

[fourscience]

Nananea will definitely help do...whatever, if Vanadi wants her to~

[implying]

hot

BY WHICH I MEAN he could totally find a use for her with like. movin shit around and setting shit up. GOOD USE FOR ALL THOSE HANDS RIGHT.

[ex_bandai157]

i don't even know what this loser is going to be up to but he'll be there

[whatsupcroc]

go help decorate you're tall that means you can reach things!!!

[betterinthedark]

As stated, Cairistiona's going to be making sure no one does anything stupid, so she'll probably be in a nice extravagant dress and have that big ol' blade strapped to her back. What, you'd do the same.

Blazenova, on the other hand, will probably need some convincing to go since social functions aren't her forte. Who wants to convince this belf to go?

[revelation]

i also missed volunteering, but madoka would love to help with catering (cute cookies for everyone) or decorating

[mgann]

BAKING CLUB GOOOOOO

[charming_jerk]

This guy will be there and will be determined to drink alone in the corner, scowling at all you people having fun.

[motherofnemesis]

both of my ladies will be there! Roslyn because it beats anything else going on and Max because it provides a good opportunity for her ongoing reconnaissance of this place and also because jesus christ somewhere where people will be relatively happy the atmosphere in exsilium has been absolute shit for her empathy wise because NOBODY IS EVER HAPPY and she can feel it her shields are fairly damaged.

neither will be volunteering because they suck, both are wide open to shenanigans at the party. Roslyn won't be particularly dedicated to the mask concept, Max will be embracing it fully. I THINK THAT'S IT i am so open to doing all kinds of things.

[ex_bandai157]

WE SHOULD DO A THING idk i really enjoyed the thread with max! even...though....it was both ways anon and they won't know each other at all in person

[symmachy]

scatty will go and actually be social /chinhands
i don't have any solid plans for her rn but she is always open for fights with belligerent attendees
