☑ Roleplay | ☐ Discussion

Everyone has a mask, secrets they are hiding from
the rest of the world. In the city of Thera, this idea
becomes quite literal with the annual coming-of-age
Masquerade ball. People come from all around to
attend, youngsters from the ages of 18 to 21 who
have only recently become legal adults. It is time for
them to start their lives, and what better way to do
that than by meeting others of their age at a ball?
Young adults of every class will attend, from royalty
to plain commoners and even peasants. It is truly
an extravagant event! However, there is a catch.
The ball is a masquerade, as per old tradition passed
down through generations. Every attendee will be
wearing a mask to hide who they are. No one will
know who is who, or know anything about anyone
else, or even know who else has been invited.. It
is an event shrouded in mystery, an exciting game
of chance. Friendships can be formed, enemies can
be made, and love to be found.
Will you go?

Ｓｅｔｔｉｎｇ － This RP takes place mainly in a city called Thera. It is actually quite
a modern, and very romantic city, despite its older-style practices and
somewhat old-fashioned culture. They have modern-day technology and
would appear to be just like our society at first glance. A second glance
would reveal that they are a bit different, however. With its old fashioned
ways, the people are extremely polite to one another, to the point of
children being scolded harshly just for not saying thank you. They are a
proud and proper society, but other than that, they are just like you and I.

Ｐｌａｃｅｓ ｔｏ Ｖｉｓｉｔ － A short list of the various places in
the city that may be often mentioned

Ｔｈｅ Ｍａｓｑｕｅｒａｄｅ － Ah, yes, the part we've all been waiting for. This large celebration takes place each year on the first Saturday in June, right when summer begins. Guests are invited from all social classes and all across the country. It is a long running tradition that was started to give young adults the chance to meet and make new friends, and possibly even find a lover. Back when it first started, it helped keep the population of the then-struggling city, and country, at a pretty decent number, but now, with the population thriving, it tends to be viewed as more of the fun, ah, "first outing" of the new adults' lives, a celebration to mark their achievement of making it to adulthood.



Ｔｈｅ Ｍａｓｋｓ ＆ Ｃｌｏｔｈｉｎｇ － The mask each young adult chooses to wear at the masquerade party, as well as the clothing, is a reflection of their personality and character. For example, someone who is fiery with a strong personality may opt to go with an energetic mask with colors that reflect that fieriness, or on the other hand, someone who is quiet may choose a toned down mask with softer colors. Each mask is made specially for that person, and it is something they keep for the rest of their lives.

xx To all the others, he's just another attendee at the masquerade, one of the lucky few invited to
xx the ball. Even his mannerism is similar to that of a commoner, though he's more... elegant.
xx Humble, and quiet, no one would ever guess who this mystery man is, for he is in fact the prince
xx of Erithys, heir to the throne, future ruler of the country, including Thera. Mysterious is this man
xx and hidden are the secrets he keeps. While he is humble, kind, and chivalrous, what's he hiding?

xx He has a dark past and keeps himself very guarded. Will anyone ever break through that titanium shield?

xx musicians failed to turn up. So then, who is this unknown man of great talent?

A chiming sound rang out through the city as the clock struck 6:00 pm. A light breeze blew through the open window of Adam's room as he stood in front of the mirror, a slight frown on his face as he adjusted his silvery-grey tie and finished getting ready. The sleek black suit he was wearing already had collected a few small particles of dust, and for what seemed like the millionth time, he had to gently brush off the dog hair that had already collected on his pants. The young prince glanced over toward his bed, where his dog was laying and watching him. "Let me guess, you don't approve," he said to her slightly jokingly. Ahaura lifted her head and tilted it slightly as she watched him. Adam sighed and checked himself in the mirror one more time before glancing over at the mahogany dresser on which his mask lay. It was quite elegant, modern yet somehow old style at the same time. He wasn't quite sure how his father had gotten it made or when, but it had this feeling of having been around for quite a bit of time even though it was actually quite new.

He walked over and picked it up, examining the intricate details for a moment before putting it on. It didn't look too bad, actually, now that he glanced at it in the mirror. Normally, Adam wasn't one who really gave much thought into how he looked, probably because he just wore what he wanted, or had someone lay out what they wanted him to wear if it was a special occasion. This time, well, this time was different. Tonight's event is a once-in-a-lifetime event, even for him, and he decided he should put some effort into his appearance for it. Not only that, but also he had a feeling that some certain individuals would have something to say if he didn't look quite as nice as he was supposed to. Turning around, he made a sort of how do I look? pose toward the husky on his bed, and she perked her ears up. "Not too fancy, yet not too shabby, right? I'm glad you like it." He chuckled softly and walked over, rubbing Ahaura on the head a bit before exiting his room.

Outside, there was a simple black car waiting for him. For the past few months, he had been traveling around the country incognito, seeing things for himself and telling people that he in fact was not the prince. It surprised him how many people bought the story too, but he was pleased, and surprisingly comfortable pretending to be someone of the normal working class. This ball? His plan was that it would be another event for him to attend as a 'commoner', one of the lucky ones who had received an invite. So far, it seemed to be going pretty smoothly too. The ride to the place where the ball was being held was pretty short, maybe about 5 to 10 minutes or so.

Upon arriving, Adam got out and headed inside, telling the driver to be back around midnight. It was still pretty early, and there were still only a few guests inside, but there was no doubt that the place would rapidly fill. Already, within the first minute and a half of his arrival, about 6 more people arrived. All right, this should be pretty simple, he told himself before adjusting his jacket and heading further into the already somewhat crowded room.

With a deep breath to help calm his nerves, Yule walked out from his bedroom in the large classically styled town house and down the two flights of stairs where he new his family would be waiting in the foyer to greet him and wish him luck with the masquerade that night. Behind him, nails making little clipping noises against the polished wood, Amira hurried to follow, her fluffed tail raised and wagging with delight but her brown eyes kept gaze on him, probably since she could almost physically feel her owners anxiety over the event.

Just before he caught sight of his awaiting family, he paused to adjust the sleeves and decrease the lines of the stylized coat, mustering a small smile as he took the last few steps down. Spread out in front of him was his parents, beaming with pride, joy with a hint of smugness. They were locked at the elbows, looking as ageless and gracious as they usually did - the distinguished professor and the classic beauty. Almost jumping in excitement were his five younger siblings, three girls and two boys ranging between the ages of 16 to 8. Hulya, the eldest of his younger siblings, gave him a genuine smile, holding out a small violin case in which he always carried. Though he was highly skilled in most instruments, it was the violin in which he held his pride. He kissed her forehead in thanks, the same treatment to his other two sisters, a handshake to his brothers.

He turned to face his parents once more, his father pulling a wooden box from behind his back. With a small nod of encouragement, Yule took it, opening to reveal the mask in which his father had had custom created. The black metal was designed so elegantly that it almost looked too fragile to wear, as if it were a decoration for the home instead of an accessory to a ball. Underneath the light, the blue sapphires gleamed and he just knew that they would attract more attention to his green eyes - 'stunning' the ladies who saw them said. He carefully placed it upon his face, arranging his hair to cover it as perfectly as possible. He said his thanks, his family giving their wishes, before Yule headed into the vehicle that would transport him to the venue.

The driver pulled up not that long later, saying he would return between the hours of midnight and one. Yule have an audible swallow, clutching the violin case tightly, before following other attendants into a grand ballroom. Gleaming white was nearly too sensitive for his eyes, the array of colours dizzying. He didn't stay long within the ballroom, instead hurrying into what appeared to be a garden. Everything was still, only a small few milling about the pastures, and the lights were enough to illuminate but still keep a thin veil of darkness. He found a seat, the case between his feet, leaning forward to rest his elbows on his knees. Not even ten minutes into the evening and he was already somewhat regretting accepting the invitation.

I walk into the wooden door as it creeks. I close it and wait silently. I hear small foot steps. Then a small, meow I look over to my left to see my cat siting on the windowsill waiting for me. Halo. I smile at him."Time to get ready Halo." He leaps off and races to my bed room. I look down at my bags as I start walking to my room.

Halo leaps on my bed and I sit down. This is the only hour to relax away from cameras. I can't rest now. I get back up as Halo meows again. I smirk and plop back down. relaxing as he sits on my face. I giggle and push him off. I sigh and slowly make my way to my bathroom to get changed in my dress. I then come back out looking at Halo in his eyes as his tail then starts waving. I twirl, as the dress poofs out flawlessly. I smile as I feel the small rush of excitement."I will be right back. Time for hair"Halo turns around and stretches to go to sleep. I walk back in to do my hair.

When I am finished, I look at my clock to see it is 6:23. I put on my mask and see my 'well known' face disappear. I sigh. No one is going to know who I am. Will I finally be able to find true love that loves me for me?

I walk out of my room as Halo follows me. He rubs up against my dress. I pick him up and stroke him and kiss his forehead. I set him down on the windowsill and brush off my dress that had fur in a few places. I sigh and open the door to see a silver limo like car waiting for me. I sigh as I see some camera people running up to me. My eyes widen as I rush into the car. I tap the drivers shoulder as a cue. he nods as he lest out a load honk to tell them to move. the doge out of the way as I rest back in my seat as we drive off...

Off to the ball.

The car rumbles up to the large place. I slowly look up to see the door being pulled open. I take a deep breath. Everything was happening so fast. I see that the man who open my door, had a hand reached out. I smile."Thank you, but I think I can step out of a car by my self..."He walks away. I look around to see some people hiding and taking pictures. I try to rush inside quickly. Polite men open the door. Bright lights illuminate my dress. My eyes filled with joy. I look around slowly to see no cameras. My action pack life left me for now with every step I took.

I didn't see anyone dancing yet. I haven't been to one of these before, so I decided to walk slowly to a chair. I stand, watching and studying others. I see some attractive men..from what I could tell. They look like they weren't occupied. I can't my my eyes off of the one man... (Musician). yet I couldn't get the courage to talk to him. I just kept starring...
