response: Nocturne is swayed by the sound of music and follows it into the East Atrium. It's a rare treasure for her to get to enjoy live music played by others. After, she takes a breather is the fresh scented gardens.

response: It has been a long time since Elias has gotten the chance to dance at a ball in such a fine establishment as this. In the splendor of decorations, of each fable's beautiful outfits, and flowing music, he almost forgets that he is in an unfamiliar magical land. Eventually growing tired, he retires to wandering the gardens for fresh air and curiosity, and perhaps to speak further with fables he met earlier...

response: Ophelia finds herself immediately drawn to the elegance of the East Atrium, enjoying the sweet serenade of stringed instruments playing and the beautiful dancing to their tune. Ophelia noted the regality of her company and finally felt at ease. She is amongst her people. After making an effort to socialize for a while, she finds herself feeling peckish and makes her way to the refreshments table. She eyes the offerings carefully for the neatest items she might indulge in.

[yes Ophelia is absolutely wearing her new masquerade mask in her sprite 👀]

response: WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

space Perhaps it was out of character for Shuò to seek a crowded area like the East Atrium on his own terms, especially on a "vacation." But, he could not help but feel that there may be something exciting to see here tonight, aside from the orchestra who would likely play music throughout the night to a mostly unappreciative audience. Shuò hoped for a petty fight on the dance floor between noblewomen of differing or allied houses. Or perhaps, a petty fight between House Lysandor's Lórien and the vain noble Shuò saw at the fountain? Potentially even House Albion's Cahir versus Lórien?
It would be quite fun to see a long-standing alliance fall apart during the celebrations of the 150th anniversary of Sundering Day. As every fable was masked, it would be difficult to identify specific fables, however, Shuò thought their names would eventually slip out in a moment of anger. The fable's haughty air may even out them immediately once they spoke. The stately grace of a noble may even be their anonymity's downfall, as Shuò believed he hd already caught a glimpse of Stormire's prince near the grand hall.

With a drink on hoof, Shuò stood near a window draped with blue velvet. The mask Shuò wore was deceptively simple, its color scheme as tastefully restrained as the fable who wore the mask. Yet, the mask glinted with luxury upon closer inspection. Shuò briefly stretched his wings, feeling slightly out of sorts. He had opted to change into his fable form for today, and was feeling the unfamiliarity of a form he had not used in some time. But he had reason to delve into further unfamiliar ground tonight.
While he was not fond of changing himself to appeal to others, Shuò could never shy away from a "game"—even if the game was fading into anonymity at a masquerade ball. As a god, he did feel it was important for him to be identifiable, but he always enjoyed a good game, if he could not have a good fight or another suitable joy. Though, Shuò mused, he felt he would still stand out with even his masked appearance. A man, no, a fable with his level of sophistication and beauty could not be hidden for long. Moreover, his noble mannerisms remained visible to onlookers, in the way he drank his wine, cast his gaze over the crowds, and refused the hooves of unworthy dance partners.

Shuò imagined that other fables would be keen to break from the exorbitant atmosphere after a while, so he would stop by the gardens later. To feel the wind again, to bask in the presence of firemoths and quietude. Yet, the gardens should be another ideal place to see something interesting. When Shuò had visited other lands to arrange and/or maintain political ties in the past, he sometimes stopped by the castle gardens in hopes of finding a royal having a mental breakdown while away from the party. The sight of a familiar scene in an unfamiliar land would be sure to summon a smile upon Shuò's statuesque visage.

sign-up post link: shuò sold some small diamonds to make his mask + decorated his mask with some diamonds too LOL
mask design:
space A thin silver and white mask that covers the nose bridge, brow bone, and the top of the cheekbones—a very typical mask shape. The top ends of the mask flairs upwards, complimenting the mask's owner's long, light-colored eyelashes and knowing, catlike gaze. A white, diaphanous ribbon sets the mask securely onto the fable's face. The matte mask is made out of thin white gold, selectively decorated with diamonds at the nose bridge and below the crevices for the eyes. One may wonder how this mask's owner would have found white gold in such a short time frame, but the mask's owner has easily answered your question with the singular word "money."

You notice then that his other accessories were subtle, less heavy-handed than you would think such a noble, elegant fable such as him should wear. The jade and diamond earrings the fable wears are dainty, despite their expensive materials, and add to the delicate aura the fable carries in his mannerisms and appearance. However, if you looked more closely, you could reflect on the fact that the necklace he wore would be more balanced with more small jewels—diamonds, specifically—on each side of the jade pendant. Perhaps there were more there once, judging by the many small silver or white gold chains that nearly seemed to float. But these too add to the mask's owner's ethereal charm, as the lightweight chains seemed to follow his every movement along with his pale green hair.

The mask's owner has now chosen to finally acknowledge your awkwardly long study of him, and has accordingly decided to take leave. Even the languid way he walks indicates his grace.

response: oh, a ball !! princess diamante felt a bit nervous at the boisterous energy, trotting quickly to the gardens for some relief at the anxiety beginning to rise in her lungs. the gardens were beautiful, the roses reminded her of home, she especially adored the delicate petals. she stood there almost dazed, until her stomach began to growl. she looked reluctantly at the refreshment table, sweet cookies... and punch... she needed to get in line fast before someone decides to strike a conversation...
