Because we clearly need something to get rid of all the drama

[There's music echoing in the halls and if you follow it, it would take you here:]

[Allen's sitting off to the side somewhere, looking grumpy in his Victorian suit, the cravat messily untied (he hates those things.) His mask looks an awful lot like Crown Clown's, only it's red and the pattern is the same on both sides. For some reason.]

[dreams_are_mine]

[Plopping herself right in Allen's lap. She's wearing a blue dress and white and blue mask.]

Allen should dance with me~

[mean_sprout]

[Aaaaand immediately shoving her off, none too gently.]

No. Go away.

[booksprout]

[Looking just as grumpy and feeling ridiculous in his own suit and flipping jesters mask, sighing.] How long until it lets us leave, do you think?

[meanxsprout]

[Glancing at Kuzu. Suddenly, Allen feels better about himself.] I don't know. It better be soon.

[Oh sure, take comfort in my misery. Trying to tug the mask off again; no luck] I wish it wouldn't just spring this kind of thing on us; most of the other parties at least have some kind of occasion or warning.

[mean_sprout]

It does a lot of random shit. I just don't get what the point of keeping us trapped here is.

[bookxsprout]

Some mix of insanity and boredom, I'm guessing.

[mean_sprout]

I think it's just stupidity. [Tries pulling his own mask off, groaning.] I want this goddamn mask off.

[bookxsprout]

I jingle every time I move my head; you got off lightly.

[meansprout]

[Pause. Is he trying to suppress a smile? Of course not.] ...Wonder why it gave you that one.

[bookxsprout]

[Shrugs] It seems to think my life is one big joke, so making me a jester must be absolutely hilarious.

[meansprout]

It probably thinks everything is one big joke. ...I don't know what the mask it gave me is.

[bookxsprout]

It's just a red mask with an elaborate pattern. Nothing very outstanding in this crowd. [He's never seen Crown Clown's mask, so he can't compare it to it]

[meansprout]

[Nor has he, really.] Huh. Whatever.

...So, how much did you end up drinking?

[bookxsprout]

Several cans, I didn't really count. At some point the 14th came along and joined me. He brought even more alcohol.
