the masquerade ball begins...

[wrnpcs]

[Night has fallen on Balamb Garden; the halls of Garden are mostly deserted besides the stray student walking about, and even the usual faculty members are missing from their posts around the school. There's a certain festive energy through the air, the source coming from the eerily decorated Ballroom located on the second floor

[Attending the party as Hush has made Damian a pretty interesting guy. He can still see through the bandages - thank god for practice with masks - as he wanders around the ballroom... almost as if he's patrolling the area.

Seems that this kid's insane no matter what he does.]

[fierybluebird]

[Given Marco's Fruit hat, seashell bikini, and Grass skirt ensemble, insane seems to be the in thing to do.]

Nice music, eh? [Is Marco hula dancing? Yes, yes he is.]

[bratbeyond]

[This might be the first time Damian has ever considered getting sugar-high to avoid the pain of that costume. He grimaces, though it's not visible through the bandages.]

... Yeah, I guess. Is it live?

[fierybluebird]

I have no idea to be honest. I assume so.

[bratbeyond]

I'd think so too... you guys don't even have iPods here. [takes a drink from one of the servers randomly roaming around]

... By the way, what's with your costume?

[fierybluebird]

What's an Eye-pod?

Ah, my crew usually has a Halloween costume contest. The more out there, the better. And you have to admit, it's out there, right?

[bratbeyond]

See? This is why my world's schway! [he pauses, then adds:] Basically a music-storing device. It's pretty clunky, but useful.

If there was an award for "most out there costume of the year," you would've won it hours ago.

[fierybluebird]

Music-storing, eh? Sounds right up Gakupo's alley.

Aha! I knew it. This year I'd totally have Trap-chan beaten for once.

[bratbeyond]

Why? I know he's a performer, but I didn't think he was a music freak too.

... [facepalm] Do I want to know who that is?

[fierybluebird]

I think he is.

Err, Izou. It's a nickname. He's good at trapping people into thinking he's a girl.

[bratbeyond]

Hence the name "Trap-chan." [realization dawns on him] ... That's one way to get a reputation.

[fierybluebird]

Heh, Izou's pretty awesome, eh. Kind of like a brother to me. [EVIL grin.] Or sister.

[bratbeyond]

[Looks clearly disgusted with this train of thought. Why would a guy need to pretend to be a girl?] ... That's good? For you?

[fierybluebird]

[Laughs quietly.] Just the way he is, eh.

Is that a Hero Factory character I spy? :D?

[Really, by some super hero standards, Mitsuru's outfit is probably not all that out of the ordinary.

She still doesn't look all that pleased to be wearing it, though, and is drinking a glass of punch with the most stiff posture possible. Somehow, though, she manages to draw a steady breath when he moves into her area, and then speak easily.]

"Good evening to you. Enjoying the event?"

Perhaps? 8) In the DCU, Hush's a supervillain disguised as Bruce Wayne... AKA Damian's birth dad.

[bratbeyond]

[He shrugs, staring at her as if her outfit were the most ordinary thing he'd seen all day. (In all honesty, it probably was, considering the circles he ran with.)]

Kinda. It's less chaotic than I expected it to be.
