Gizmoo69 dragged himself out of bed, threw on his dressing gown and stumbled down the stairs. Dammit, he thought, I hate mornings. He switched the kettle on, gasping for that first cup of tea that would make his day a whole lot easier.
*THWAP!* the unmistakeable sound of envelopes hitting doormat. Gizmo turned toward the front door, graoned at the amount of energy he would have to expend to pick up the post and then scooped up the pile of letters on the floor.
Hmm...bill, junk, brown hand-written envelope, junk, bill...hold on. Gizmo dropped all the post on his coffee table...all except the brown envelope. He tore it open.
INVITATION, the letter read, in swirly gold writing. Gizmo blinked a couple of times, clearing his vision a little. You are formally invited to the second not-quite-annual CHYOO ball. All CHYOOsters are invited... The letter rambled on for a few more lines, giving the address of a ballroom, dates and times. At the bottom, something else was written which caught Gizmo's eye. This year, the CHYOO ball is fancy dress. You must be dressed in a costume or you will not be permitted entry.
Fancy dress? Hmm...time to dig out that Chewbacca costume methinks.
