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.

Because truth is, he likes Squall. The man has been nice and tried to make a connection with him. But...
"One day you'll go home and whether I do or not, we won't be friends there. I'll be your subordinate. You won't know me. I'll be alone. And... I don't understand how you can want to put in the effort with such a sad outcome."

He wants to take off the mask but he already had an iteration warn him for doing that.
"Quistis, Selphie, Zell, and Irvine listen to my orders too. But they're my friends." A pause. "I don't know them very well either. I want to." He knows how they fight. What their strengths and weaknesses are in battle, bu the doesn't know them well enough yet. Though they've certainly grown a lot closer than he ever imagined he would with anyone.
"... I lost my childhood because I was afraid of sad outcomes. I'm still scared of it but I don't want to miss out on everything anymore." He grips Nida's hand tighter. "... I want to believe we still have a chance." Somehow.

"I'm not good company, Squall. My card playing is about as fun as someone can have with me these days. I'm... I'm too hurt to be a friend."
