TIMELINE OF EVENTS
Week of November 28th
The Master announces the annual winter ball, and schedules the staff to begin preparations for it. With this request, characters may now enter the ballroom without getting in trouble. The ballroom will remain open for the entirety of this plot!
Friday, December 30th
The event thread will go live! Once characters have completed their tasks for the evening, they are welcome to enjoy the night off. However, they are not welcome to partake in the ball. Feel free to interact with each other and guest npcs.
Saturday, December 30th @ 4:00pm
At this time, guests have begun to arrive at the manor. There's something a tad off about them...but you can't put your finger on it.
Sunday, January 1st @ 1:00am
Guests begin piling out at 12:30am, and by 1am, the guests have cleared. Silence once again spreads across the manor.
Sunday, January 1st @ 1:00am - Golden Hour's End
A second thread will go up. With the ballroom empty, the staff is welcome to the afterparty. Drinks will be served, and it will be treated as a celebration for a successful ball. The ballroom must be cleared by the end of golden hour, and cleaning must be completed before dawn.
Additional Notes
A strange phenomenon spreads across the manor. For the entirety of the ball, the curse seems to have been lifted. No transformations occur on December 30th. The curse resumes on January 1st at the end of golden hour as always.
