It's a lovely evening for a ball. [OPEN MINGLE LOG]

WHO: Everyone who wants to come! Or maybe gets ushered over by annoying, persistent puppets? Live your dreams.
WHERE: At a beautiful castle that has abruptly come into existence at the edge of the woods.
WHEN: Evening of 1/11.
WHAT: A beautiful, magical fairy tale ball! Who's throwing it? Good question... Oh well, it's probably fine. Drink, dance, and be merry!
WARNINGS: None for now!

As evening falls on the night of the 11th, citizens of Chroma may notice something strange...

At the beautiful, sprawling castle now taking up residence on the edge of town, there seems to be something excitement stirring! Though the castle has been dark and cold for days, as the sun falls, ethereal lights strike the walls, making it glow through the growing gloom. All around town little fairy lights will appear, and if characters choose to follow them, they may find themselves at the steps of the castle. It's warmly lit, and looks inviting, and from within, you can hear the strains of music... why not go inside?

The hallways within seem to invite exploration, darkened offshoots leading to secret doors. However, if you do explore, you never seem to end up anywhere important... just private, empty parlors, good perhaps for an uninterrupted conversation. Resist this temptation and you'll find your way to an enchanting ballroom, lit by golden chandeliers. Soft music seems to play from nowhere, and the scene seems perfect for dancing... so why not have a good time?

At the end of the room there is a dais, populated by a single empty black throne with a mirror behind it. But no one is there... though the throne is cold to the touch, you're free to sit in it if you like. Nothing seems to happen when you do, and the mirror too seems to be little more than a mirror. How mysterious! At least you can touch up your appearance.

There is food to enjoy, though it's a bit basic: little finger sandwiches and fruit platters and pastries, and even a collection of candied apples, all things with color and taste. And then, of course, there is punch. Several vividly colored bowls of it, some filled with a pleasant red punch, and some with a far more interesting green punch. Are you brave enough to try the second? Though the former is exactly what it seems to be -- normal, sugary fruit punch -- you may find that if you try the green punch, your inhibitions and trepidation will leave you. (Also, it tastes strongly of apples.) It's no extreme effect; instead, maybe you're just feeling a little braver, a little bolder. Really, is it the punch at all, or is it the atmosphere sweeping you up...? Well, either way, at least you'll have something to blame for your choices.

Have fun, but take heed: at the stroke of midnight, candles on all the chandeliers will begin to go out one by one. It seems it might be time to go. Do you want to risk being here after dark...?



Hey all! This is just an open mingle ~*~ball log~*~ for the fairytale event! I've got a brief OOC post up about it over here if anyone has any questions! This is just meant for people to mingle and have a good time, so really, go nuts!
