trans_channel | Masquerade Ball

Dear Ship Crew,

The mood on board has been rather solemn for some time now, but has been continuing to improve. In Kuninoryu, there was a yearly tradition held within the walls of my castle. A ball in which all the participants from all over from any class would dress in costumes and masks, and would dance with various partners throughout the evening. When the clock struck three, all would remove their masks to see who it was they had been dancing with, and then would endeavour to find the faces of the other people they had danced with. As I am aware most of the people on board are diurnal, I shall be changing the time of the reveal to twelve midnight.

It was a fantastic way to meet new people, and to create friends that would bridge the usual socio-economical boarders. It would give people new contacts for business, of course, but the ultimate goal was to find a new friend that you may have otherwise never met.

I have had yet to see such a gathering on the ship, and I hope that I can change that.

I will be holding the party in a week in the sensoriums, and this message is hereby an invitation to all residents on the ship. Being the sensoriums, there will be no need to acquire your own costume, though I will be providing a room to the side of the entrance hall filled with various costume ideas should you need them.

If you plan on attending, I ask that you RSVP here, so that I may gauge interest and perhaps look to plan other such events.

I'll show up, but don't expect much dancing.

Or... clever costuming.

Seriously, I'll be the giantass book with a freakin' Zorro mask on. No one will ever guess.

Of co~ourse they will not. You shall be the best disguised in the whole ball.

You know, you can use the sensorium to change your form. It is a costume ball after all.

Minion of the Overlord, transcribing:

Yeah, but I'm still a book in the middle of it. Damn sensoriums are... well, Nanashi, imagine you were in a fake normal human body. That's how anything those things can do feels like to me. Like a big stupid robot... body... thing. That isn't cool.

Count me in! Sounds fun!

I will be very glad to see you there.

Katara, do you think you can help me summon some foods into the sensoriums. I am rather limited in my knowledge of flavour. Perhaps bring someone else you know as well to aid me in variety?

Oh, a costume ball? Those were popular back in Servryn as well...

I'd love to come!

[She has no idea what this is. At all.]

A costumed ball? So is there a theme to this or is like those movies the Outsiders have been watching?

You may dress up as whatever you so wish. Common choices were were-creatures, faeries, Dragons, Angels, and cross-race costumes, where vampires would dress as humans and humans as vampires, though those costumes were generally the most inexpensive as only make up to change your skin's colour was required. I have seen many entertaining costumes as well, such as a young gentleman in a blue and white outfit and a mask shaped as a cloud with a bowl of water who would flick you with it as he introduced himself as "Slightly Cloudy with a Chance of Rain".

We're both fantastic at using the wrong journals!

It has been quite some time - for obvious reasons - since I have had the pleasure to participate in any sort of social gathering. The relaxation and the opportunity to form new allegiances will be much appreciated.

I'd be delighted to attend.

It will be an honour to meet you then.

Perhaps I should hold such gatherings more often?

Oooh, that's called a... masquerade, right? Sounds like fun!

Sounds like fun! I'll get on my dancing shoes and my, standing awkwardly off to the side T-shirt!

At the very least, I shall dance with you Beastboy. It is my responsibility as hostess. Besides, if I remember correctly, you are already quite the courtier. I am sure you can use that smooth tongue to enchant a young miss.

Sounds fun!

Will there be cake and sweets? If so, I'm there!

Yes there shall.

Dirun...oh, aye. Right.

I'd not be opposed to some dancing. I'll go.

Ohh? Well now, that sounds like a good time.

If you are interested I will attend as well, meister.
