Mask-Making Party!

THE ARTS'N'CRAFTSENING

The Masquerade might be the most hyped-up Gooseberry dance yet! Between the success of the Valentine's fundraiser and the intrigue of Mr. Calderon-Boot's new anonymity charm, there's plenty to be excited for.

During dinner on Wednesday, sharp-eyed students might notice Ivy and Laurel slip out of dinner early to make preparations for their last-minute MASK CRAFTING EXTRAVAGANZA. Also during dinner, Ms. Lilywhite announces that duelling club has been cancelled. If you'd like to complain to her about this, tough. She's gone the second dinner ends, and doesn't put in an appearance at the crafting session.

As students exit dinner, they find the Atrium transformed into a crafting wonderland. The sofas and chairs have been pushed aside to make space for large, colorful tables full of crafting supplies. There's music playing, and the twins' eclectic and clashing taste in music has resulted in a playlist reminiscent of the Kramer/Morales birthday party mix. Ivy and Laurel greet everyone enthusiastically; they're happy to demonstrate mask-making techniques, but they're even happier just to set you loose on the crafting supplies and see what happens.

WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN

The mask making party will take place in the Atrium after dinner! Duelling club has been cancelled for the evening so you don't have to worry about being double-booked.

Valentine's flowers were such a hit that Event Committee has provided all the mask-making materials for you! It's a straight-up craft store in here. All kinds of ribbon, trims, glitter, feathers, glue, markers, paper, fabric, and other embellishments are set up on the tables.

If you're hurting for ideas or just want a second opinion, Ivy and Laurel are here to help! They'll be offering anyone who wants it advice on what shapes, colors, animals or themes might suit them best.

Wand use is allowed within normal school rules, but using your hands is encouraged. After a freshman asks Sybilla Borgin how they accomplished a color changing charm, they get stuck for 20 minutes applying the charm to eager freshmen's masks.

Mr. Calderon-Boot is here to apply the anonymity charm to your masks, but you can also track him down tomorrow or Friday.

» Crafting Tables: Several large tables have been set up around the Atrium, and each is brimming with crafting supplies. There are no chairs and supplies are divided by color to encourage people to mingle while they craft.

» Consult the Twins: The Templetons are artistic and theatrical geniuses and they're here to tell you what kind of mask you'd look best in.

» Clean-Up: Set-up occurred during dinner, but if anyone wants to stay late to lend a hand in the clean-up process it would be much appreciated ❤

Chris is here because duelling and fencing got cancelled. He's not even going to the dance. And he hates half these people. But he's decided he should be fine with moping and being antisocial. And he also has a competition going on with Rosy. On who can make the worst mask. And he's gonna win that.

He has selective artist abilities that he's not bad at. He could probably make a decent mask if that was truly why he was here. So Chris is over at a table with his scissors and a mountain of material he doesn't necessarily need but hell yeah he's gonna somehow work into this mask.

He's making her a fox mask. Whether it'll still resemble a fox when he's done with it is still to be determined.

Rosy is one of you losers floundering in Art Hell for sure. God, it’s a good thing she’s not actually going to this dance, because even if this mask isn’t for her, she isn’t really sure she’d want to be seen out with this fish-faced monstrosity she’s constructing. She’s so good at making bad masks, she doesn’t even have to try. Concepts like complementary colors only matter enough for her to not look like a colorblind bat when she gets dressed and does her makeup, when it comes to what shades of green are going to make this trout mask look okay she is basically just making this shit up as she goes along.

"How many sequins are too many sequins?" she asks as she slaps too many sequins on a little domino mask. "Wait, no, you can rock this many sequins, it'll bring you the color of your eyes."

Cosy because that's still an adorable ship name

"I don't even know what the fuck a sequin is," Chris mutters. Rosy actually resembles a five year old during arts and craft time and it's the cutest thing he's ever seen. She doesn't even look clueless. She is fucking up with confidence. "But I think the answer is five. Five sequin is too much sequin," he says confidently while stitching ribbon into his fox mask because even foxes need eyebrows. And foxes stitch their eyebrows on. They don't glue.

"Cool, cool, because there's definitely the right amount of sequin on this mask, I don't even want you to worry about that," Rosy says as she continues to fuck up like she was born to it. What the fuck is Chris doing with that ribbon? Is he stitching? What the fuck, is he getting fancy here? Why isn't he just using glue? She's gonna have so much more time for, uh, making this not look like just a green disco ball.

Somehow.

Oh hey there's some felt.

She can stick that shit somewhere on there, call it fins. Yeah, she's got this.

Chris isn't even a fancy person, what the fuck is he doing getting fancy during a worst mask competition? ...Is Rosy adding felt to a fish mask? Chris doesn't even wanna worry about it. He underestimated how great she is at sucking, holy shit, this is gonna be great. He's almost smiling, as he draws his brows together in concentration as he sews. "Yeah, it's totally cool, sequin can be like the scales. I mean if they went together and didn't look all patchy - is that felt? Nah, nah it's cool I'm not even worried, I bet it's gonna look badass."

Chris' concentrated almost-smile is actually pretty adorable. Like a grumpy little deer. Who let this grumpy little deer out?

"Hell yeah it's felt, why wouldn't I use felt? It's the miracle fabric." The hot glue she's using for the felt is oozing out either side, so she covers it up with more sequins that aren't actually the same color. Rosy is usually kind of a perfectionist. Usually her inability to do art would bother her. Today, Rosy is perfectly doing terribly and that's beautiful. "Your fox and it's fancy eyebrows are gonna look professional as fuck next to this pile of bad decisions."
