Royce didn't roll in (ha) until the ball was well underway and this was, in a way, deliberately done. For one, he was one of those people who didn't mind a dramatic entrance when he could afford it. For another, it had never been in his habit to be the first in many gatherings as doing so will make him have to wait for his friends and how boring is that?
After his Rolls-Royce Phantom was taken away by valet, he strutted into the venue dressed as a hussar, a popular masquerade costume with thanks to a certain classic musical and he was not at all worried that he would find a duplicate. And if he did, he at least would be the better Raoul de Chagny than the other, the costume having been customized to highlight his good features such as his shoulders and his shape.
And though it was not in the "original costume", Royce couldn't bear to go without a mask, one that came straight from Venice at that. Boy knew how to use his money well.
After paying the coat keeper a visit to see who had availed of the ranch's 5% discount (and being surprised that as much as two people had done so), he finally immersed himself with the crowd to start to blend in. Not a minute would pass and he would already have a glass of champagne in hand, looking for a friend.
