oh, we dance in misery
WHO: Open to all Dualizens!
WHAT: the Plague Memorial Masked Ball
WHERE: the Mayor's Mansion (central Dualis)
WHEN: the evening of November 16
WARNINGS: Visuals/discussion of disease and death in the setting. Anything else, please use appropriate warnings!
At 8 p.m. sharp, the lights inside and around the Mayor's Mansion turn up, and the doors are opened to the crowds that begin to trickle inside. All entrances are manned by Iterations, and all party-goers are scanned for both proper attire (formal and masked, mandatory) and weapons (absolutely forbidden) before being allowed entry.
Once inside, attendees are greeted to a spectacle of warmth and light and lavish decorations, all themed in white accented with gold and violet. Venture into the ballroom, and you'll see intricately carved ice sculptures in various representations of death, all laden with garlands of marigolds and violet chrysanthemums. At one end of the room, a rotating cast of musicians plays soft music in differing arrangements of strings and piano. Long tables at the other end of the ballroom are piled high with punch fountains and platters of delicious party foods, and a few bar stations serve beverages of the more adult variety to those of age.
Outside the main ballroom are seven smaller rooms, for more intimate conversations and quiet recovery from the main gala (or just skulking like a brooding weirdo, if that's your thing). Six of the rooms are decorated in monochrome blue, purple, green, orange, white, or violet, and the seventh room is pitch black with red accents.
Throughout the night, the mayor herself winds in and out of the crowds, shadowed by a pair of bodyguards. She is all smiles, greeting people with a friendly handshake and effusive words of thanks for attending the ball, but she never stays in one place long enough for a true conversation. This is a celebration of life and a remembrance of the dead, after all - not the time or place for talks of business or politics.
Enjoy yourselves tonight, everyone! And remember - death eventually comes for everyone.

"Then why do it?" Zack asks as he smiles at Aqua. Because when does the guy NOT smile? He's just like that. "Also, you're looking amazing, Aqua. Very coordinated."

"Thank you," she says, still embarrassed, though pleasantly so. "Sometimes it's hard finding anything that goes with my hair. But the shopkeeper told me this would be a good choice for the event."
She feels slightly overdressed at the moment, and for all that she isn't used to dresses at all, this one is at least going well. It's just taking a little time to get used to.
"Maybe I should've worn pants instead. I haven't worn a dress like this before."

"The shopkeepers are really good at this. And up-selling, right? Could always get you to spend more duos. Man, I stumble over that word too much. I miss gil. I understood gil."
But the pants? Yeah, he can agree with the pants. His own are really comfortable. Beyond comfortable.
"I've seen a woman in a suit, or three. But the dress is graceful."
