Halloween Masquerade Ball

[rapturescreed]

Who: The Newcomer Political Party and The Newcomers!
When: October 27th, 7:00pm till Morning Sirens.
Where: The Newcomer Community Center
Summary: Time for some Halloween Masquerade Fun!
Warnings: Anything is possible!

The Community Center has been transformed into a sophisticated autumn dance hall, with bits of Halloween decorations around the room. When the door opens, you find yourself in the hall before the main room, someone ready to take your coat, if you have one, and another ready to give out bracelets. That way no one who shouldn't be drinking won't be able to.



The dance floor is surrounded by a number of small, round tables, each with an elaborate centerpiece of cobwebs. There are lights within the hanging decorations, with draped fabric over the sides, to give it a more close knit feeling. At the head of all the tables is a bar serving free drinks and cocktails to anyone over age. There is also a buffet



And then, of course, there is the dance floor, where people are dancing to the music supplied by two talented DJs, lights blinking and the room ready for everyone to have a good time.



Last call for food is two hours before sirens, and then the last call for drinks is an hour before the party finishes. You might want to be careful when it gets to be that time, though. Around 1:00 am, the party is going to change, due to a series of unfortunate events. You may not be very hungry or thirsty for awhile after.

<sub>[Ciel hated parties. This, of course, was no exception. How he'd been conned into dressing up and attending was through a series of unfortunate events involving not only Alois Trancy, but mostly Madam Red. The long and short of it is that Ciel Phantomhive found himself attending the masquerade ball, dressed as what seemingly looks like an angel costume, but upon further inspection, along with the addition of a bow and mask (the right eye covered tastefully, of course), was really in reality a costume for Eros, the Greek god.

Madam Red herself had dressed as Aphrodite, and had seemingly wandered off to enjoy herself. Ciel couldn't be bothered to enjoy himself. He already knew he wouldn't. Instead he tried to enjoy a slice of pumpkin pie, sitting off in one of the corners, trying to go as unnoticed as he possibly could for the time being. The last thing he wanted to do was draw attention to himself or be mocked outright.]</sub>

[deathknellgrell]

Well, well, well!

[ Grell strides up to the seated Ciel, and strikes a pose, so that his, uh, waist is just about eye level. He's dressed as a naughty nurse, with stethoscope and syringe in tow. ]

Don't you look adorable~♥

[littlest_lord]

<sub>[The pose is enough to cause Ciel to choke on whatever mouthful of pie he was in the middle of swallowing, covering his mouth with his hand as he willed himself to swallow. The sight before him? Absolutely terrifying, if not downright hideous.

Grell Sutcliff is the last person he wants to see here - for numerous reasons.]</sub>

And you look positively horrifying.

[faking]

Hear me out, hear me out.

[It mustn't be surprising that Alois finds Ciel easily, and he sidles up, free of food (too boring) or drink (too non-alcoholic). His hands, therefore, are free to fold behind his back, and his grin... well, it's admittedly shit-eating. He clears his throat.]

Did it hurt when you fell from heaven? Do you want me to help you call for God? Can I show you what heaven is really like? I'd love it if you'd help me be touched by an angel. Heaven must be missing you, but I am, too. Um... [He snaps his fingers, but his smile's still wicked.] Shit, I think there was another, but I don't remember what it was. I'll try and think of it...

[littlest_lord]

_{[Alois Trancy, despite his attachment to the boy, is someone he wants nothing to do with right now, especially after seeing the grin on his face. The words simply help to cement the fact.]}

I'm not an angel. I'd rather you not try and think of it.

_{[It comes out flat and completely unamused as he jabs his fork into his slice of pie.]}

I'm Eros. A Greek God.

[faking]

I know, but I couldn't let the opportunity get away. I mean, I could come up with some better ones for Eros, but...

[Well.]

[littlest_lord]

I will put my pie in your face, you know.

[faking]

I think I'd rather you put your—

[littlest_lord]

<sub>[If there's one thing Ciel Phantomhive follows through with, it's threats. There isn't much of the slice left, but that doesn't stop Ciel grabbing whatever is left in his hand and smushing it right into Alois' face.

Well, he was warned.]</sub>

1/2

[faking]

[screech]

[faking]

It's all over my face! It's all over my face! Ciel!

[littlest_lord]

I warned you.

[faking]

Yeah, but - but -

[He's trying to dab at his face with his fingers, but it takes him a moment to remember that he's wearing nice white gloves...

Which are now ruined..................

Why is Ciel the worst bully ever??? And they're probably crocodile tears, but they're so well done that it's honestly hard to tell, no matter how well you know him. Alois is staring down at his pie-stained gloves as though he's holding the corpse of a loved one, and a couple of tears dribble down through the pie filling on his face.]

[littlest_lord]

_{[Okay so...perhaps it had been a little uncalled for. He didn't exactly feel bad, but he didn't like seeing him cry either. Sighing Ciel took Alois by the elbow, ready to lead him to the bathroom. The less pie tears, the better.]}

C'mon, we'll clean you up.

[faking]

The rouge can be fixed, but my gloves, my gloves... I had got them brand new and they were so nice and soft.

[He gives a very convincing sniff.]

[littlest_lord]

I'll buy you new ones.

[faking]

[WHIPLASH]

Really? Thank you! I'm so glad. Can we go buy them together? [He's already removing the pie gloves to stow them away, so that he can properly link his arm with Ciel's.]

[littlest_lord]

_{[That was...unnervingly fast. Has he just been had???]}

We can, yes.

[psychopath]

[this is jack wandering over and










pinching ciel's cheek.]

An angel, huh?

[littlest_lord]

_{[WHY THIS JACK STOP THAT aaaaa-]}

I'm not an angel. I'm Eros, a Greek god.

[psychopath]

...isn't Eros that lad who...

[oh, ciel has arrows! it sinks in pretty quickly.





wait.]

Why did you go as Eros?

[littlest_lord]

Madam Red insisted she had to be Aphrodite and naturally, I wound up being Eros on her demand.

[psychopath]

[jack gets this sleazy sort of smile on his face at the mention of angelina in an aphrodite outfit.....jack pls.]

Well, I think it suits you both....

[littlest_lord]

Her, perhaps. Certainly not me.

[oujomerchant]

[Oh how about that! The graceful Alouette also carries a bow, being a masked archer and all. She even has little suction cup arrows. She hasn't the faintest idea who either Ciel or Red is dressed as, however.]

Bonsoir, fellow archer! Did you hunt that pie yourself?
