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.]

Because you've just kissed me twice and because he is irrational.

[Laugh.]

But whatever helps you complete your work, Molotov.

[molotov]

But you already knew. He will want to kill you now, but he didn't before. He must have told you, it's the only way. You couldn't even know from finding my belt somewhere.

[assassino]

Are you kidding? He was poised to kill me just for cooking dinner for you.

[He leans back on his hands.]

Your belt?

[molotov]

[She heaves just this enormous sigh. It could pass as a teenager's sigh.]

Well, since you already know... my chastity belt. It was my loss. Why do you think I was a virgin for so long?

[assassino]

No man was brave enough.

[Confused look.]

So this was some sort of belt meant to preserve your virginity?

[molotov]

Chastity belts exist in your time, don't be dense.

[assassino]

I am not being dense. I have never seen or heard of a "chastity belt" in my life.

[molotov]

Well, it's exactly what it sounds like. Metal underwear with a lock on it.

[assassino]

Would that not chafe? And how would a woman relieve herself?

[molotov]

It doesn't chafe if it fits [also magic because Molotov's totally had a chain thong], and I am not telling you that.

[assassino]

[The fuck.]

And you think my time is cruel...

[molotov]

They exist in your time. The ones then were even worse than mine, and at least I had the key to mine! There was no chaperone keeping it for me.

[assassino]

I have never, ever heard of them. I am sure Lucrezia could tell you the same.

[molotov]

You have never heard of a lot of things, that doesn't mean they don't exist.

[assassino]

Yes, but you think this is a part of my time, which it is not. Certainly not in Italia.

[molotov]

I don't care if you haven't heard of them, they exist. We have them in museums. And besides, it isn't like women brag about them.

[assassino]

Molotov, I am positive that it is not from my region or time. Women may not brag, but men would.

[molotov]

Brag about what? You think a girl in a chastity belt is spending enough time around men for them to know? Do you know who puts women in chastity belts? Usually their father. Do you often have discussions with fathers about their daughters' genitals and your ease of access to them?

[But she starts slurring really badly about halfway through that speech, so it would be surprising if he understands it.]

[assassino]

[He has no idea. He just pats her back.]

... You know, just confining them to a house would be easier.

[molotov]

[SHE BELLIGERENTLY SWATS HIS ARM AWAY.]

Well, my father is fucking dead, and it was his last request.

[assassino]

[Rude!]

Somewhat ironic that you protect your chastity for him and then give it to his killer.

[molotov]

He made me promise to marry first, and I did that. I think he just didn't expect me to get married, and he certainly never told me who to marry.

[assassino]

If you intended to follow his rules, why did you need the belt at all?

[molotov]

Why wouldn't I com... comp... honor his dying wish?

[assassino]

Well, yes, but as you knew you would honour it, what purpose does a belt serve?
