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

Jesse (cookies!!)
Madoka (+ decorating)

Decoration
Asami
Wanda??
Equius (heavy lifting!!!)
Emma Frost (location scouting)
Taicea

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.

LAY EM ON ME

[implying]

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

[ex_bandai157]

LMFAO WHOOPS i was going to quietly take that off non-obnoxiously

but

YES

CLOSE ENOUGH

[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

[implying]

WELL I DON'T HAVE COMMENTS SET TO EMAIL SO I WOULD HAVE MISSED IT ANYWAY

[ex_symbioses706]

OH OKAY

[ex_symbioses706]

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

[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!

[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?

[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.

[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.

[implying]

AWWW YEAH I DID IT, AGAINST ALL ODDS, HAVING NO IDEA HOW TO WORK POLLS
HOORAY ME

[ex_symbioses706]

/CONFETTI

[whatsupcroc]

hey claire hey maybe a little hang out time?

[implying]

YES BUT. they'll be kinda lame low-rent outfits, because these poor hardshippedupon Exsilium citizens just haven't had much time to sharpen their fancy dress making skills. You'd be better off finding a skilled Transport!

[thalassian]

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

[ex_symbioses706]

oooh gotcha. thanks!

[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.

[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!

[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.

[breakablegirl]

awwwwwwwww yeah. Make her break out of her shell a little.

Also sorry for my delays in tags I'm having trouble braining lately cause sick and school

plotting part 2

[breakablegirl]

Claire will likely be a bit of a wallflower at first, hanging near the food or the punch bowl. Someone please help her chillax.

ALSO. She uh. Might uh. Do something bad. By bad I mean con people into having a drinking contest with her and pretending to be drunk but she can't get drunk and.. FREE EASY MONEY.

[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.

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!
