MASQUERADE PARTY

[masqueradeparty]

[the day of the party has arrived!

right around dinnertime, fairies will try to round up every single character and gesture, lead, or pull them towards the courtyard. there, the miniature castle has finally been completed! there are fairy lights and beautiful singing all around you, and it looks like there's some kind of a party going on in the castle, but...

...but it's still so tiny. how could you possibly get in there? it would be hard just to get your hand through the front door!

but the fairies will persist, and as soon as a character steps into the fairy ring...

they find themselves in the ballroom.

this post has been forward-dated to tonight, of course, so mingle in the comment sections and have a fun time with the different rooms.]

You might eventually, but I'm sure you've already been told that it'd be like playing Russian Roulette with Vervain. [She leans forward, her elbows resting to her knees.]

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Yeah, I got the lecture a couple dozen times. Some complete with threats.

[Threats he's clearly not bothered by.]

[msattentionspan]

[Is this the part where she tells him that she never went on the stuff? Hmmm. Nope.]

Sounds like you're having a real blast with your reunion with the castle. [She's still leaning forward, but she'll turn her head to look at him.] The me that was here before, the first time, she was from a lot later than I am. Future shit and all that.

She's the better version of me, I've been told. [a few times. Just not in those words. She's drawing a conclusion for everyone saying that they know she is capable of it. As it stands, she's in prison back home, that's just about the level of her commitment to being better.]

[untilmydarknessgoes]

[So, they come from opposite sides of the fence. Most everyone seems convinced Damon couldn't be better and apparently thought she couldn't be worse. Good to know.]

Well, I don't know you all that well, but I like you just fine as is.

[He's aware that's the cheese line to give. It's intentional whether it makes her laugh or roll her eyes.]

[msattentionspan]

[He earns a slight smirk, it's more a pursing of her lips, but it's still mild amusement.]

Guess you figured out the name without me needing to tell you.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

I'll have you know, I'm way more than a pretty face.

[msattentionspan]

From what I recall the pretty definitely didn't stop at your face.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

[That wasn't surprising information. It's pleasing all the same if his grin is anything to go by.]

What can I say? I'm gifted.

[msattentionspan]

Modest too. Always attractive. [She's smirking, because she's the same way - so it's said with a certain amount of endearment.]

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Hey, I try. [A pause.] A little.

[msattentionspan]

[More mild amusement from Faith.]

Don't stress yourself on my account.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

[He chortles though he's being good-natured about it.]

I would never even dream of it.

[msattentionspan]

Good. [She gives him a good once over then smirks.] Wouldn't want to waste any of your efforts.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Well, it's probably a little early to say so, but I don't think I'd ever consider something a waste when it comes to you.

[msattentionspan]

Yeah, might be a bit early -- but I'm not gonna turn down a compliment.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Smart choice. You know how hard it is for me to praise anyone but myself.

[msattentionspan]

[She leans in toward him a bit.] Considering this all started with me stroking your ego, I think you'll survive.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

And what about you? [He cocks his head.] You look like a survivor, but I can be pretty devastating.

[msattentionspan]

You already left once. I managed. [She answered a bit more honestly than she had expected.]

[untilmydarknessgoes]

True. Most would probably be having a psychotic break at this point and locking me up in their room.

[Nope, not being flirtatious at all. Damon would never.]

[msattentionspan]

It's been kind of a burden, so I guess I'm just lucky you're back.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Finally. [He grins.] It's about time someone appreciated me.

[msattentionspan]

I was thinking you might have already found someone else to do that. It's a big castle.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

[There's that witch, but Damon's still keeping careful around that one.]

No, apparently I pissed pretty much everyone off in the castle.

[msattentionspan]

Yeah, that can happen.
