First is the romantic French period characterized by Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette's court of wonders. Between 8PM and 9PM, the guests are served French delicacies and champagne by servers dressed as masked footmen while polite classical music plays. This is mingling hour, before the late arrivals show up for the real party. BASIL ROMANO decides this party is boring and plans to leave early, but ends up making out with a staff member in the bushes outside. VOLUNTEER 2 forgot to eat dinner and gets wasted off of champagne.
Second comes the wild 20s inspired by the Great Gatsby and the Wild Party, of course. Between 9PM and 10PM, the guests are served classy snacks and Prohibition-era cocktails by servers dressed as flappers or wearing era-appropriate suits while wild dance jazz plays. For people who are drunk enough to get down, the dance floor starts to get busy: JAKOB & MAUDE GOTTI wow everyone with their moves and receive a round of applause when they're done tearing it up. VOLUNTEER 5 starts an entire group of people talking like they're from a noir film, which seems weirdly infectious...?
Third is the classic, vintage 60s in the style of Mad Men. Between 10PM and 11PM, the guests are served martinis, shrimp cocktails, and chips with dip by servers in fabulous mod fashion to the sonorous melodies of doo-wop and Mo-Town. VOLUNTEER 6 fortunately dressed as Don Draper, and manages to score the most dances on their dance card. MAGDA BARRERA PADILLA somehow gets talked into smoking her first cigarette.
Fourth comes some dizzying 80s disco straight out of Harlem. Between 11PM and 12AM, the guests are served a hot mess of nostalgic but hearty foods to soak up the alcohol like pizza rolls, nachos, and potato skins by servers dressed in lycra and prints while synth and disco rock their world. A spontaneous Saturday Night Fever dance contest springs up, which CALDER FULLERTON wins and, caught up in the moment, kisses PIPPA CARSON. Meanwhile, AINE FINNIGAN has lost a shoe in a chandelier. Don't ask how. VOLUNTEER 11 becomes unofficial hero of the night by rescuing it, and someone gives over their costume's crown so that everyone knows it.
At midnight, the party turns suddenly into a futuristic fusion out of someone's science fiction fantasies. The party is briefly interrupted for fireworks, which go on for 15 minutes before the masquerade resumes. Between 12PM and 1AM, the guests are served strange snacks that look like one thing but taste like another, and many of the cocktails glow in the dark. Servers could have walked out of Tron, and the music is raver-techno-house. JONATHAN PEAL surprises everyone by having the sickest robot moves ever. Who knew? VOLUNTEER 13 has been planning an elaborate Halloween prank all night, but is interrupted by VOLUNTEER 14 who decides to join in instead of busting them. VOLUNTEER 15 ends up on the receiving end of said prank and throws their drink, drenching the pranksters.
Fireworks are pretty! VOLUNTEER 16, 17,and 18 show up to the party late, blasted, and ready to dance to some house music despite not planning to come to the masquerade in the first place! Sometime after 2 AM, the party starts to wind down, and the last guests either head home...or head out to make new mischief.
