♔ Paper Faces on Parade ♔ { OPEN & ACCEPTING}

[Lil Miss Voodoo]

▶◀Shiloh▶Single▶◀Lady▶◀Alistair▶◀
The blonde maiden slowly walked into the ballroom in awe of the beautiful room. It was grander each year, she fixed her odd mask gently. She called it odd because it wasn't dainty or fancy. Even feminine. It was a solid black mask with horns, much like the studs of a goat. She found it a lovely metaphor. She smoothed out her dress walking over to the side. She knew she wouldn't be noticed with all the beautiful royals and other ladies.... And her?... Just her

"But it's so boring, Seraph!" Will sighed, shifting as the door opened his father stepped out first, helping his mother down after. He watched Seraph climb out next before he followed last. "It doesn't even really matter most of the year, we rarely meet any of them." He murmured quietly, smiling pleasantly at the people around them without really seeing them. He shuddered as he saw the hungry gazes of some of the more unscrupulous nobility.

"That may be so, but it is still important." Seraph huffed, giving a kind smile to the servants they passed at greeting the nobles by name as he noticed the presence of the LaBau heiress. Briefly abandoning his younger brother to the clutches of desperate nobles looking for a strong ally, he headed over to greet her. "Good evening, Lady Shiloh. How have you been?"

Glancing up at the man in surprise, Cara took a moment to process his words before smiling at him. "My name is Cara, and I was waiting for Prince Seraph. I'm not used to traveling, so this is my first time away from the kingdom." She replied quietly, looking away as she blushed. Biting her lip, she looked back up at him. "But how did you know?"

♔ Isabella Elizabeth Crawford ♔

18 years.
Of Mongolath.
Arriving.
Single.
Nervous.
Tagged: William.

Isabella decided to go with the lesser of two evils, and moved in her graceful manner towards who she assumed to be Prince William. It had been about a year since she had last seen him, as their two kingdoms' courts rarely met other than this night. He looked taller, stronger, and a tiny bit more commanding. "Good evening," she said with a little curtsy. "I assume that you are Prince William, due to your manners and the look you just gave the other young man to come out of Cyrpe's royal carriage. And I'm sure it won't take you long to guess who I am, so let's drop the facade."

♔ Catherine D'Orsey ♔

19 years.
Of Cyrpe.
Talking.
Single.
Amused.
Tagged: Shiloh.

Catherine watched as a very familiar and unique masque appeared in the doorway, only to see a young man, surely a prince swoop in to talk to the woman. She decided that a man was nothing to stop her and began to walk towards the figure whom she was certain was Lady Shiloh. "Darling how are you?" she said warmly, knowing that they had been friendly in the past, even allies during the masquerade. "It's been far too long." She looked up at the young man and gave a calculated smile. "Sorry to interrupt, were you two speaking?" she said sounding sincere. She knew that she would need someone on her side, and so would Shiloh.

♔ Chance Evanson ♔

21 years.
Of Alistair.
Waiting.
Single.
Worried.
Tagged: Cara.

More clattering of wheels over cobblestones as a few more carriages arrived made Chance look up. "Well I think that's him that's just arrived," he said with a little smile. "Or them I suppose I should say. If you run off now, I promise I won't be offended." He smiled and gave a little laugh at his own joke. "Tonight will be exciting I think," he continued, unsure if she was still listening or at all interested. He gave a little sigh, realizing with a start that Lady Shiloh's carriage was being taken to the stables to be parked, then he relaxed. I'm not her servant, I don't need to be so worried, he told himself.

ashton sighed as the carriage finally came to a halt after a journey that had seemed to last forever. in all honesty, he wasn't too excited for the ball; he considered it a frivolous, unnecessary event that he assumed he would not enjoy. he had chosen to wear a simple white mask that was effective and contrasted nicely with his dark hair and eyes. it wasn't like he really felt like he had to make an effort, anyway, as he wasn't a sociable person and didn't want to attract too much attention. the carriage departed hastily after he had stepped down from it and ashton was consequently left to enter the building alone, which he didn't mind too much.

as the carriage slowed, eliza tightened the ribbon that held her dainty mask in place and prepared to leave the vehicle. she was not travelling alone, as she had brought along her maid, rose, for company; the blonde was sat close to the window, marvelling at the building. eliza almost felt a flash of affection for the girl, but that little blossom soon vanished as she smoothed her gown and rose from the cushioned bench-like seat she had been sat on for the duration of the journey. almost immediately after the door was pulled open for her, she gracefully exited the carriage and waited with little patience for rose to do the same.

rose was feeling a little more than just excited as her mistress exited the carriage with the elegance that rose admired so much; her stomach felt knotted with nerves and excitement mixed together like the batter for a cake. on the outside, she appeared to be almost the same class as eliza; she had been given a dress and a matching mask for the occasion, but she was afraid that she would mess everything up with her different manners and the awkward clumsiness that often occurred when she got embarrassed. realising that she had gone off into a little bit of a daydream and was leaving eliza to wait out in the cold, rose took a deep but quiet breath and slowly left the carriage, reuniting with eliza to begin approaching the inviting doors.

(Sorry I took so long to get this here. My Muse wouldn't give me some inspiration for this one until now! By the way, none of these images are mine! I found them on Google!)



My name is Prince Alexander Damien Crawford, heir to the Mongolath throne. Why do you want to know about me? Oh fine, since you seem soo eager to hear it. I am 24 years of age, standing at 6'4" and weighing in at 220 pounds which I can assure you that most of it is muscle. My skin is tanned enough to suggest a healthy outdoor lifestyle, but not enough to look burned. I have black hair, radiant blue eyes and a firm baritone voice that, I've been told, could 'charm a bird out of a tree if I tried'. What else do you want to know?

Well, obviously I come from the royal family of Mongolath. I am the firstborn and then my sister came 6 years later. I did my best to be the son that my parents wanted, a child who could one day take the throne and lead our people. I spend the first 12 years of my life being 'handled' by them before I finally rebelled. I was tired of them nitpicking over every detail of my life and wanted no part in it anymore. It started with my very first relationship and it wasn't with a woman. It was with another young man about my own age that worked in the stables; I couldn't help it at the time. He was pretty cute after all. At any rate, once my parents realized they couldn't control me, they let me run my own life and I've been a little rebel ever since. Oh don't get me wrong, I will step up and take the throne when the time comes, but until then, I live my life the way I want. Despite all of this, I can be kind and gentle and compassionate towards those I know and those I don't know. However, never mistake kindness for weakness. I am always armed and if you ever try anything to hurt me or my family or those I hold dear, there is no telling how fast and how hard I will bring a world of pain to your doorstep.

However, there are some aspects of being a prince that I do enjoy. I am a master at horsemanship and handling various types of weapons from the longsword to the longbow. I also enjoy reading from the royal library and learning new things. Currently, I'm working on my hawking skills with my harpy eagle named Thorn.


Many have asked if I'm in a relationship, but sadly the answer is no. I think it's because my parents try to distance me from the ones I'm actually interested in to try and turn my head towards women. That's not going to happen....ever. I do however have a small crush on Prince Seraph. I met him once a long time ago, but he probably doesn't even remember me. I'm pretty sure my orientation is clear from what I've already told you, as is my family. What more do you want? Go away now; you bore me.

Oh right, the ball....well, this is what I'm wearing with this mask.

She looked away from the window glancing over at the the prince, "Prince Seraph! What a pleasant surprise!" She said a bit dryly knowing he was just interested in business. "I'm fine. Everything is well at my home." She said softly glancing over seeing a familiar face a mask couldn't hide "Catherine! I am so glad to see you! It's been to long! And I'm fine! How are you?" She sighs softly knowing she wouldn't be alone now. "Oh. Not much you don't have to leave. I rather have one of my friends by my side."

♔ Alexander Beaumont ♔

23 years.
Of Dypressia.
Watching.
Single.
Excited.
Tagged: Eliza
& Rose.

Alexander caught sight of two women entering the room, and decided that they would be as good as anyone to hold conversation with, and walked over, still holding his glass of wine. "Good evening ladies," he said giving them each a respectful nod of the head. "Welcome to Dypressia, although I'm sure that you've been to one of our masquerades before, though I can't say I know you're 'faces'." He said with a little laugh at his own joke, wondering how they would react to it. Usually if he couldn't make someone laugh with cheesy jokes then he found that their company was less than interesting for him.

"I've been lovely dear, I'm ever so glad to see you again," reaching out her arms to give her friend a quick tight embrace. She sent the man she was talking to a look as Shiloh talked about wanting having a friend by her side for the night, a look that warned him to keep a safe distance. "My parents are about the same, working mostly as usual, but that's not to stop me from having some of my own fun," she added with a smile, looking away from the prince again. "Do excuse me for interrupting you."

(Thanks!!! I'll have him with his sister for the beginning but I do want him to run into Seraph.)

Alexander had opted to ride his horse to the ball, much to his parents disapproval. He didn't want to be stuck in the cramped and stuffy carriage the whole ride over anyway. After handing his horse off to a stable boy, he walked inside next to his sister, Isabella. "So, hoping to catch a prince's eye while you're here?" he asked softly as he glanced over at her. He enjoyed teasing his sister when they were together, but he never took it to far. He loved his family and would never do anything to harm them intentionally.

Hearing her brother's teasing behind her, she reached back and smacked his arm lightly. She knew that he was only teasing, because that's what they did to one another, since they were siblings after all. "Just trying to make polite conversation, brother dear," she said keeping her voice low. She liked to maintain the pretense that no one knew one another at the masquerade sometimes, and with her brother was one of them. Still it was easy for people to pick out her brother, since they were close for siblings, spending quite a bit of time together especially time spent planning pranks and making jokes about courtiers.

"Ah, good evening Princess!" Will grinned, giving her a bow and grateful look as the nobles finsally left him alone. "I suppose I owe you thanks for driving away the vultures." He joked, taking her hand and giving it a brief kiss before releasing it. "How may I be of service?" He gave a bright smile at the other prince who had arrived.

"It is no trouble, Lady D'Orsey." Seraph nodded in greeting. "It has been a while since we last met. How are you?" He asked, seemingly very interested.

"He seems busy though, so I'll stay here if you don't mind...?" Cara stated, but it came out almost as a question. Blushing and biting her lip, she tried not to fidget too much as she adjusted her mask. "I mean...Well...Um, nevermind." She squeaked and started to move away in embarrassment.
