Grand Ballroom "B"
Tony Stark's
Summer Benefit Night
benefiting Allen Walker and the Cross Marian Debt Fund
[Welcome to Sunday night, circa 5 PM. The above is written on a rather fancy lookin' sign sitting outside of Tony's ballroom. In the castle lobby, stairways lead left to Bruce's, and the right leads to this party.
Entering, guests will find that the ballroom is even larger on the inside than would seem possible... it defied the laws of geometry, as does much of Paradisa. Large crystal chandeliers hang from high vaulted ceilings, shining light down onto marble tiled floors. The entrance way has large arrangements of beautiful flowers on either side. The far end of the room is made entirely of glass, giving a good view of the Patio and outside.
To the immediate left is the Table Seating. Large tables, easily able to fit eight adults, are spaced out, and covered in elegant white tablecloths, embroidered with gold threading. Atop each table are a variety of colorful, elegant looking flowers, thanks to Aerith. They're all chosen to complement each other well, and no two tables have the same arrangement of flowers. Each table has eight chairs, though more can be provided for especially large groups. There are easily enough tables to house all the guests, even should many choose not to share their tables.
To the right side of the room is empty space, clearly set off as a Dance Floor. It's large enough to comfortably fit in large groups of people dancing. A small stage is set up against the wall, on which there is a grand piano sitting. When the night gets into full swing, this is where the musicians will be playing, and also where Tony Stark might be saying a few words. We'll see.
Heading towards the back guests will find the
Bar. Thankfully, Tony was able to procure the help of the Death Match to assist the guests with all of their drinking needs. The bar is fully stocked, as you'd expect of a party run by Tony Stark.
As mentioned, outside there's a large Patio. A large open archway near the bar leads to this area. You can easily hear the music out here. It's hot outside, but several fans are set up to fight back the heat, and they do a pretty good job. Several small tables are set up out here, two chairs to a table, though the majority is open. The view is of the castle's garden; it looks nice, man that Aerith does a good job with it. There's rumors about a laser show outside at some point in the evening; perhaps this is the best place to view it?]

[ooc: Here's how it's going to work. I'll post a comment going by the timeline, and you spam the hell out of them. So there'll be a comment for 5-6 PM, when people arrive, and then a separate comment for 6-8 PM, dinner. Speaking of timelines, here's the itinerary for tonight's event!
5 PM:
Doors open for the guests; caterers got in earlier, obviously. This is time for them to arrive and get settled in, so to speak.
6 PM:
Dinner is served. Musicians are playing classical music; piano, flute, violin, cello, etc.
8 PM: Dinner ends. Musicians leave in favor of a DJ, who plays requests.
Time for dancing? 9 PM:
Dessert is served. Dancing still encouraged.
10 PM: Night winds down. Music ends. Tony encourages everybody to step outside, and a
LASER SHOW begins from the garden.
11 PM: Everything's over. Leave now.]
