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.]

[Luki can only guess this is Damian based on the height. She walks over in her pirate costume to get a closer look]

Damian? Is that you?

[bratbeyond]

[he nods, turning to face her] Yeah. [He cracks a smile, though the only sign of his positive attitude is in his hand gestures]

... Your costume isn't half-bad.

[dangerousthings]

Thanks! Since Marco is a pirate, I thought he'd think it was funny if I dressed as one.

[bratbeyond]

[snickers] Probably. He doesn't strike me as the kind of pirate I'd read about, though, if only 'cause he doesn't steal things from innocent people.

[dangerousthings]

He's like...a super pirate, or something. He took me flying when I was a zombie.

[bratbeyond]

... Huh. Guess even he's got a few tricks up his sleeve.

[dangerousthings]

He can turn into a giant blue bird! But he still understands human when he's like that, he just can't talk like one.

[bratbeyond]

Whoa. Seriously? [stops and stares at Luki. If it weren't for the bandages, his stunned expression'd be much more obvious.] That's... impressive.

[dangerousthings]

Yeah! He was big enough that I could sit on his back and just look at the clouds. He took me flying once before when I won the hide and go seek contest.

[bratbeyond]

[would retort that she's lying, but... this is Luki, who like never lies. So instead, he just stares in bewilderment before shaking his head and getting them some punch.]

Jeez... now I've gotta see this in action sometime. It sounds schway.

[dangerousthings]

It is! It's totally schway. I've never seen anything like that before.

[eggplantallergy]

Are you supposed to be a mummy? [Quite a modern one at that with all those clothes on!]

[bratbeyond]

Not... really. I'm some supervillain that terrorized Gotham, like, 30 years ago.

But I guess he did look like one, now that you mention it.

[eggplantallergy]

Supervillain? What kind of crime did he commit? [Looks at the bandages in wonder.] Did you wrap this yourself?

[bratbeyond]

Too many things to count. [stares down at his feet] You name it, he's probably done it.

[he nods] Yeah. It took forever, but it wasn't impossible.
