mask design:
a mask of alabaster carved so delicately that it almost looks soft to the touch. the milky stone has been hewn with great care, and the scalloped edges are thin enough that when the mask is held above one's head, the edges shift from off-white to a gentle and warm orange where light can be seen fighting to filter through.

the mask is accented with an assortment of crystals that would put a dragon's keep to shame, each precious gem cut to sparkle like the setting sun on a body of water. every miniscule movement sends a cascade of glitter onto whatever is nearest, like a very pricey kaleidoscope. sapphires are the main feature of this mask, with the largest one situated between the eyes. if you didn't know any better, you'd say it seemed to be staring right through you. that is, if you were brave enough to stare back.

finally, the mask is not attached with string or ribbon, but held up on a finely crafted handle with a piece of wood from a hawthorn bush. the handle is inlaid with more alabaster to match the base, and the rest of the handle has been sanded to feel like silk to the touch- no splinters here. yes, this mask is truly befitting royalty.

mask design: An elegant half-mask covering the right side of Irioda's face and nose bridge. It's covered in what seem to be stones, scales, and fangs, all of a pearlescent pink matrial that plays with the light. The eyehole is formed in the middle of a rift in the mask that stretches almost to the edge of the nosebridge, pieces of decoration rising up and around it to make the eye seem like its emerging from shadows. A pair of magenta and yellow tassels hang off the ridge by the cheekbone, mimicking the hair that falls on the opposite side of Irioda's face.

response: A masquerade ball! Abhean entered the huge building, smiling and cheering at all the fables he met on the way. He wore a simple mask, a light piece of red cloth that framed his eyes: he needed to maintain his expressiveness so that his charm could have an effect on his audience.

As soon as he entered the large hall, he had to take a step back in surprise at the size of the crowd. He took a deep breath. Despite his love of stories, he hated crowds. He preferred to sing to small groups, never to so many fables. To calm himself, he imagined all those fables scattered in the Desert, parched with thirst and tormented by hunger. The Desert was vast, all those strangers would be lost, and their despair would be nothing short of lyrical. With this reassuring thought in mind, he managed to make his way through the crowd, pricking up his ears and trying to pick up on their conversations. He had no intention of interfering in any conversation; this was the moment to gather information not to tell a tale.

He had almost reached the end of the hall when the sound of violins reached his ears. He turned around, running toward that familiar and warm feeling of being home. He traveled so much that music had become his second home, and in that place so different from what he was used to, he began to feel homesick. So he slipped into the east atrium, unceremoniously pushing aside the fables who were blocking his way. There he could breathe a sigh of relief. The room was much less crowded, and some very elegant fables were dancing to the rhythm of the music. Now the party had really begun.

response: Getting out from the mysterious alley had to be the most relieving thing Pillan did for the day. Not that the alley itself is scary, as they discovered, but the fable that nearly bumped into them is certainly suspicious. Pillan swore there was nobody inside that alley with them. Where did that fable come from? Did they appear out of thin air? And what kind of job can they do in such a dim alley anyway... The vibe suggested Pillan not bother with it anymore, and they agreed. Fortunately, they hadn't bought anything yet from the florist's stand; it would've ruined any bouquet if it had to travel through that mysterious alleyway. Pillan already made a mental note to come by Melui and Aella's stand again before the whole festival comes to an end. Just to buy a few flowers for decorations though, they aren't interested in Lysandor's meddling on the market.

Evening arrives, and so Pillan into the masquerade ball. They are not familiar with this kind of party, but they had heard and learn a little to join and get acquainted with it. The midnight fable first stopped by the gardens. It is one place that feels like home, and the wind passes through the foliage just right. Their attention soon shifted to the tunes that caught their ears. Moving swiftly inside the east atrium reveals a hall of slow dancing fables. The orchestra music felt soothing, just like how the others are enjoying it. Pillan might not be the type to join the dancefloor, but witnessing the waves of fables and music is enough for them.

Spending most of their time standing guard through the night, it makes Pillan appreciate the day much more. The warm sunlight feels comfortable to the pelt and damp soil, but it will never beat the peaceful and cold stillness under the moonlight. Pillan chose an intricate, blazing masquerade mask. Though fitted rather small, as they aren't used to having something placed on their face. No dangling ornament, only soft feathers of many sizes flapping on both sides of the mask. The mask is dominated by dark-colored stripes and swirls, with hints of glinting gems decorated like sparkling embers.
