IC/OOC: THE MAIN EVENT
Look, everything about this ball is probably awful, but at least to start it seems really nice with the music, the dancing, the wine, the food. At what point does your character start to notice something is wrong? Or, perhaps they don't notice at all.
For IC/OOC event success, you should have a minimum 50/50 ratio of starting comments and replying to others. If you RP wallflower during this event, you might not get the response and interaction you were hoping for.
