Masquerade (open to all)

[Hikari]

The masquerade ball was thrown every year and only a select few were invited to such an event. It was said that crazy things happened there. It was said that the party lasted from nine at night till the light of the next morning. There were even tales of sexual deviancy in closets and secret passages of the manor. Despite the fact that she wouldn't know anyone at the party, she still replied to the mysterious invitation and rented an elaborate fairy costume for the event. Before she knew it, she was standing at the entrance with the beautiful silvery mask hiding her face. The wings she wore were made of gorgeous sheer fabric, and her dress clung to her body in just the right fashion. All the while she was wondering if the stories were true. How could such a formal looking party turn into promiscuity?

___________________

Alright you guys this is a ball in modern times done in the style of old venetian masquerade parties. The manor has something odd about it that tends to draw people together. Almost like a heat that builds as the night grows later. There are many places to hide like rooms, closets, and secret passages.

Hmm interesting, an invitation to a masqurade ball. Looking around my studio apartment, I realised for the first time after a really hard breakup I was being invited to something fun. Maybe it would be a good idea to go, be anonymous for a little while, atleast forget this world and move to one of mystery and intrugue.
Grinning I went up to my cupboard, being a designer, I had a costume available for tonight. It was a black and red corset top, which hid as much as it revealed. a small black skirt, a lovely mask with beautiful feathers on each side. in black and red, with red sequins on it and a set of wings made of lovely long black feathers to wear on my back, basically your regular angel of darkness look. perfect. slipping on red heels to go with it, the effect was amazingly effective.
Grinning to myself It said to be there by nine. looking at the time, it was already 8:45, grabbing my keys, I ran out the apartment, with my wings folded and in my hands, and a coat over my outfit, I didnt want my next door neighbour too curious as to my whereabouts as it she was a nosey enough a woman as it was.

Bri stepped out of the cab she had hired and looked up at the impressive building. She let out a low whistle. The place was huge, a girl could get lost. But then, from stories she'd heard, that's when the fun really started.

She looked down at her costume and smoothed the shin length skirt. Her outfit was that of a serving wench. The skirt was dark and full topped by a white off the shoulder peasant blouse with a plain black boustier sinched tight around her midsection. It wasn't flashy, but it did show off her curves. Her full breasts swelled above the top pf the bustier barely contained by the thin cloth of her blouse. She had piled her long auburn curls up onto her head leaving a few stragglers hanging to frame the simple black half mask covering the upper portion of her pretty face.

What no one would ever suspect was that the black stockings she wore beneath her skirt were only thigh highs and above that...nothing but her own sweet self. It was so out of character for her to do something that daring, even when no one would find out. But tonight she felt daring. Tonight, behind her mask, she could be as wild and wanton as she wanted.

Squaring her shoulders she walked up the steps and reached for the knocker on the large front door.

Mike grinned at himself in the mirror. Furred boots and a leather loincloth, of sorts. It was just a leather flap in the front tied to a flap of leather in the back. That was his full costume. The rest was his physique, which he'd been working ion for years, covered in various designs with blue paint.

A classically trained shakespearean actor, Mike was hoping to be hollywood's next action hero. He'd been to hundreds of auditions. Tonight though he just felt like dressing up like a barbarian for this party. He didn't know why. But he was going to have a good time, he knew that.

Ed

Ed Taylor

5’10”
Dark brown hair with brown eyes
Fair complection.

Ed had received an invitation to the masquerade ball he had no idea why he’d been selected as it was even addressed to him personally informing him that only a select few were invited and he should be prepared to stay until daylight.

During the day Ed was the sub manager of a local bank and consequently was careful when he attended parties or gathering so as to not cause problems in his work tonight hidden behind a mask he would be able to enjoy himself.

He’d heard rumours about the manor that the ball was being held but put them down to bragging from the guys who’d claimed to have attended one guy even claimed to have had every girl there but Ed reasoned that he had to be exaggerating.

Having thought about it he’d decided to attend as a roman senator wearing just a Toga with nothing underneath just in case the rumours did have some truth in them. He’d just need to part the front of the Toga and be ready for anything that happened.

He’d just parked his car and was walking up to the front door when an auburn headed girl dressed as serving maid got out of a cab and beat him to the door.

“Hi I’m Ed,” he introduced himself not really expecting a reply but they might meet later in the evening.

Driving up to the manor, I gasped at the sheer size of it. It seemed like it was from another era. feeling a little nervous, I felt most likely it wouldnt be a problem as no one her would know me well enough to recognise me or anything of the sort, being part of a select few invites, I was pretty excited as well.
Parking the car in the parking lot, I got out, got rid of the coat, put on my mask, put on my wing, pulled my skirt down a little, and began to wak towards the door, looking at my watch I realised it was sharp nine, not bad I grinned, I liked being punctual.

 

[Josheb]

Mike

Mike stepped out of his car, decked out in the extremely revealing costume he'd chosen for himself. His face was done over in blue paint and most people he knew probably wouldn't recognize him. He grinned, looking around the parking lot and saw a girl throwing on a pair of wings and already wearing a feathered mask. As she walked towrd the mansion something inside Mike decided to try and catch her. His long strides made it very easy to do. A few feet behind her he decided to introduce himself.

"You must be going to the msquerde," Mike's deep voice belowed out, "either that or your eccentricity matches your beauty. Care for an escort?"

Alex Westveer

Very short brown hair and pale blue eyes.
6'2 very lean and muscular.


Alex looked himself over in the mirror wondering what he was about to get himself into. He had received the invitation to the ball a few days earlier and was not planning on attending until one of his closest friends had talked him into it. It seemed as though his friend Jason had been invited to the ball the year before and although he wouldnt go into any detail, he insisted that Alex at least make an appearance.

With such short notice, he had very little time to put together any sort of a costume and was now settling for whatever he had available. He knew he looked great in the classic black tux and just hoped the half black mask he had purchased would finish off the look. He glanced down at his watch and was surprised to see it was almost 8:30 and the invitation read the ball started promptly at 9:00. He fixed his bow tie one last time, picked up the mask off the bed and headed towards the door.

The Shadow

Standing in one of the front faceing bedrooms I watch as the guest arrive. Thinking, how will this year go? Hopefully like last year. I let out a little laugh and turn to get ready.

 

[Horus_rules]

 

[quietlady]

Bri turned and watched the man dressed in a toga approach. She looked up at him when he stopped beside her and grinned, feeling a bit playful.

Grasping the side of her full skirt she dropped into a curtsey like she had seen a serving girl do in a movie. The action showed off a generous amount of clevage if Ed were so inclined to look.

"Pleased to meet you, Sir." She said looking up at him and smiling before she straightened up. "I'm Bri."

She turned back toward the door and then glanced at Ed. "Do you think we should knock or just go on in?"

 

[bullshot]

Ed

Ed was surprised when the girl dropped to a curtsey spreading her full skirt he knew that if he looked down at her he would be able to see right down her cleavage.

"Pleased to meet you, Sir." She said looking up at him and smiling before she straightened up. "I'm Bri."

Because she was still bent in the curtsey when she spoke Ed had to look down at her seeing her cleavage and a good amount of her breasts.

Smiling he held out his hand to her helping her to her feet once more as they both turned back to the door.

"Do you think we should knock or just go on in?" Bri asked glancing at Ed.

“Let’s see if it’s open,” Ed suggested and turned the handle causing the door to open silently when he gave it a slight push.

“After you my Lady,” he said giving her a bow in return for her curtsey and followed her into the building seeing a long hall with doorways spread along it.

Just inside the door was a stand with a large tray of drinks on it with a sign saying ‘Help Yourself’ Ed took two glasses off the tray and handed one to Bri.

“It looks as if we have to find our own way,” he said as he offered her his arm and started along the hall

OOC: quietlady switch on your PM's please

 

[quietlady]

Bri took the glass from Ed letting her fingers brush softly over his, then she smiled as she slid her arm through his and let him lead her on into the manse. Why not? He seemed friendly, and he certainly was impressive in his toga. Bri stole a sideways glance at him wondering what he was wearing under his costume, if he had been daring as well. The thought brought a flush to her cheeks and she coughed lightly to prevent a chuckle from escaping. She was going to get her self in trouble tonight, she just knew it.

Lifting her glass to her full lips she took a cautious sip. She wasn’t sure what it was, but it went down smoothe and warmed her belly. She made a mental note not to have too many lest she make a fool of herself. She barely remembered the last time she had drank, but there were flashes of being up on a bar dancing and someone trying to make her keep her top on. A slow smile curved her lips and she took another, more generous drink from her glass.

There was music coming from a room somewhere ahead. That must be where the party was getting started. She smiled at Ed and rubbed her fingertips in small circles on his forearm. The night just kept getting better and better.

 

[bullshot]

Ed

Ed felt good walking down the hall with a beautiful girl on his arm besides her looks her actions outside told him that she had a touch of mischief in her as well he hoped that they’d enjoy their evening then he thought it would be their night together by the time they left.

He wondered why she’d coughed and when he stole a glance at her he could see a slight flush in her cheeks obviously she was thinking of something that embarrassed her slightly. As they walked they took sips from their glasses it was a nice flavoured drink but one he hadn’t come across before then he realised that Bri had taken a drink and almost emptied her glass.

As they heard the sound of music coming from somewhere ahead of them he could feel her fingers rubbing on his forearm and he was sure they were going to get on together and have a really good night. He recalled the bragging of his friends that had attended previous balls, here he was only a few minutes into the place and he was acting as if he’d known Bri for a long time.

He knew there was something about the place he could feel it drawing himself closer to Bri as they walked and he had a slight inclination to miss the noise and find somewhere quiet behind one of these many doors so they could get to know each other better. Although he knew that he shouldn’t rush things the feeling and tension was getting stronger the further they walked and he was having trouble resisting the temptation.

Ellie

Upon stepping inside, she realized the sheer size of the manor. There were so many people yet she felt surprisingly alone. She saw various arrivals in a variety of costumes. A man in a toga, an angel with black wings.. Her silver fairy costume seemed to stand out against the others in darker costumes. Who would she talk to first? It didn't pay to be shy at parties. She'd learned that in the past. It was hard to tell if there was anyone at all that she knew or if anyone there knew her. All she knew was that the stories of this party intrigued her and that she hadn't been with a man in a year.

"What am i to do i dont know why im here no one is gonan talk to me its gonan be like the partys back in School"

 

[quietlady]

Bri was feeling quite warm, maybe that drink was stronger than she thought. Or maybe it was just her new companion. She stopped and looked him over again, leaning against the wall with her hands behind her back. She knew full well that position caused her chest to thrust out a bit calling attention to her breasts.

Here gaze strayed to some of the other guests as they entered and moved down the hall, finding something fascinating about each one. The costumes were very cool and for a moment her own seemed ordinary and drab. Then she glanced down noticing that her nipples were straining against the thin material of her blouse and she laughed to herself. No, nothing wrong with her costume at all.

In some part of her mind she realized she was acting completely out of character, but who would ever know but her?

“Sometime tonight, Ed, I am going to go exploring.” She glanced around conspiratorially. “Think I’d get kicked out for poking around?”

 

[Horus_rules]

 

[bullshot]

Ed

They stopped part of the way down the hall and Bri leant against the wall pulling her arms behind her back as she looked Ed over causing her breasts to thrust out towards him as though encouraging him to take hold of them.

He resisted the temptation as he realised that her nipples where proud against the thin material of her blouse causing him to look away so as not to be caught staring at them. Looking around he noticed another tray of drinks just a pace away so he picked up two more glasses as he put their empty ones on the tray.

Couples were moving around the hallway some going into the main hall where the music was coming from and others leaving the hall and disappearing through the doors space along the way.

“Sometime tonight, Ed, I am going to go exploring.” She glanced around conspiratorially. “Think I’d get kicked out for poking around?”

“From what I’ve heard they encourage us to explore,” Ed answered. “One of my friends said that he went through the same door three times and arrived at different places each time, but I think he must have been drunk,” he added.

“I’ve had the same urge to explore since we came in through the front door. Why not pick a door and we’ll start now,” he suggested.

 

[Vamprincess]

Zara

Surprised I turned around, seeing a guy dressed up as a barbarian. smiling I nodded, and took his arm, walking up to the door i saw plenty of masqueraers

 

[Josheb]

Mike smiled down at the dark angel on his arm. She was very attractive, and he was here to have a good time.

"So, can I interest the lady in a drink?"

 

[quietlady]

Bri

Bri smiled to herself. She’d seen the way Ed was watching the rise and fall of her breasts. He was being quite the gentleman though, averting his gaze and bringing her another of those wonderful drinks. She wondered briefly if it was wrong of her to be thinking the kinds of thoughts that were going through her mind right now. She’d just met the man and she was already contemplating getting him alone in some dark corner so she could see just what the Romans wore under their togas.

She took a sip from her glass and made a soft sound of pleasure as the delicious liquid ran down her throat. She’d really have to find out what this was…but right now she had other things on her mind. Reaching for Ed’s hand she smiled up at him.

“I agree…let’s follow our…urges…”

 

[state2727]

Alex pulled through the gates at the front of the manor, trying to find a place to park so he could get inside. It had taken him longer to get there than he had imagined and so he was now running late.

He pulled the car into an empty spot and shut off the engine. He grabbed his half mask from the passenger seat and slipped it on. He took a quick look in the mirror as he got out of the car and decided he looked ok for a last minute costume and headed toward the front door.

He strolled through the front door alone looking to find where the rest of the guests had gone. He heard music ahead of him and headed towards it, walking through a set of doors and entering the main room. He looked around as he walked deliberatly toward the first bar he saw, noticing the multitude of beautiful women around the room.

"Scotch neat" he said politely to the man behind the bar. He turned to take in the rest of the room as he waited for his drink.

 

[bullshot]

Ed & Bri

Ed laughed at her enthusiasm and turned to look along the hallway trying to decide which door to try. “I’ve been told not to be surprised at anything you find behind the door and both of us have to pass through before the door closes,” he told Bri as he decided that they’d try the door just to the right of her.

“Let’s try this one,” he suggested keeping hold of her hand and opening the door finding a short corridor on the other side that ended in a junction about ten foot away.

When they reached the junction Ed turned right without thinking and they found another door in front of them he opened it and they could see a luxurious bedroom in front of them.

Ed couldn’t believe his eyes and hesitated looking at Bri to see her reaction, in the centre of the room was the largest bed he’d ever seen with all the necessary bedroom furniture around the walls the only thing missing was a window. To one side appeared to be a bathroom from their position they could only see a little of it so they had no idea what it contained.

“I’m sorry I didn’t know that we’d find this,” Ed stammered wondering if he’d spoilt his chances with Bri. “We can go back if you want to,” he added hoping that she wouldn’t insist on returning to the main hallway.

At that moment in time his intensions where good he wanted to get to know Bri and this seemed as good a place as any for them to have some privacy. He’d been told that once they closed the door it would lock and could only be opened from the inside.
