Masquerade Interest Post

UPDATE: October 22

Hey all! Tori here. Just wanted to add some updates for everyone, and will continue to add hints as they're decided!

-The masquerade is FREE to EVERYONE, but there will be opportunities for donations and auctions. Proceeds will be going to Red House Foundation (run by our very own Grell)! Woo!

-It is a formal event, so go all out!

-yes, there will be multiple prompts for everyone and a wide range of activities/locations

-all ages welcome!

-the masquerade will take place in the ritziest hotel in Genessia, in a rooftop ballroom. As there aren't really any set in stone hotels on the settings page, we're handwaving particulars on the location, but it's in Genessia City and it's extremely high end. Ha!

-if anyone would like your character to be part of something in particular, please let me know and I'll work it into the post! Would they like to serve drinks? Are they one of the musicians? Perhaps they're not attending, but have been hired to work the party instead? It's all flexible.

August 27

Just wanted to get this posted as a preliminary interest post for the masquerade. The original plurk post seemed to have a lot of excited people interested in the idea, but as I’m not really on plurk much these days and this seemed like it would be a little more official, here it is.

Originally we had planned to have this masquerade/gala happen in conjunction with the Phantom of the Opera performance, but as it’s more or less something of a personal plot, we decided to (for the most part) separate the two. Instead of happening the same evening, we’re thinking the Masquerade will be held the week prior to the performance, almost as advertising (maybe?), but really just as a big fancy excuse for all our Genessians to wear tuxedos and ballgowns and be ritzy for the evening. If your character isn’t interested in Phantom, this will give them an excuse to attend and avoid the play entirely.

So far the running list of desires is as follows:

-hors d'oeuvres and coctails/wine
-dancing
-fancy music (live band) Nohr fam??
-photo ops
-entertainment (??)
-Someone mentioned gardens with twinkling lights? So maybe a cool/romantic venue?
- balconies to escape to
- Fireworks! (Regina)
-
-
-
-
(Will update post as needed)

Obviously, we’d love to have as many people contribute as are interested, so if you have a character that would perform something fitting for a formal masquerade or would be a good musician for the band or might like to provide some delicate little finger food catering, etc, just let me know. Maybe they’re not attending, but working the event instead. Up to you entirely, so long as it fits the theme.

EVERYONE is invited, including youngersters and beasties, and encouraged to really go all out with their outfits.

This will take place in early November.

Obviously this is a WAYS out, but we wanted to get a rough feeling before anything was actually planned out. Any suggestions, plotting posts, worker/vendor suggestions are welcome here.
