Who: Everyone at the Party
What: Black Tie Ball; BLACKOUT
Where: Shangri-La Hotel on an off-coast Island
When: MARCH 10; 10:15 pm
Rating: TBD
Open? to EVERYONE!
Thunder rolled closer outside, seeming to shake the windows with each crack that reverberated through the sky. Flashes of lightning now accompanied the booming thunder, illuminating the dark water and rain outside every few minutes. While all guests and workers had been securely tucked inside, the storm continued to rage outside.
Flickering lights again, the band began another upbeat song. Right at the crescendo, the lights went to black. Cries of surprise and fear seemed to echo through the big room. Candles illuminated along the walls provided some light, but considerably more so than the guests were used to.
Once again, the host of the evening stumbled his way up onto the stage, calling out loudly enough for the crowd of guests to hear him.
"It seems we've lost our power...um, nobody panic. It's perfectly normal during a storm of this magnitude, I assure you that we're all safe and sound here, so just try to stay calm, and hopefully the power will come back up when the storm lets up. In the meantime, I'll be collecting a small group to go and look for flashlights and lanterns, so please come toward the stage if you'd like to volunteer for that. Again, this is perfectly normal, please try and stay calm."
