WHO: Kindred of New York
WHEN: June 19th; an hour after sunset til dawn
WHERE: A grand ballroom
WHAT: A ~~distraction~~ masquerade!
WARNINGS: TBD

MASQUERADE

Distraction? What distraction?
This is simply a party for the New York Kindred!

Garnet rented out one of the fanciest ballrooms in the city for this event. Grand staircase entrance? Check. Gold gilding everywhere? Check. Blood from the bag and vein? Check. If someone doesn't have a mask, the hostess has many spares, all curated from either her personal collection or friends from the Paris court. Ghouls and human thralls are invited as well.

Requested dress code is anything dressy from the kindred's era. If not, a suit will do just fine. Be as overstated as you wish! In need of something sparkly to go with your look? The hostess also has you covered!

All Elysium rules apply.

Vampires all over the city wake the evening of the 19th to an elegant invitation with the details to the party set for an hour after sunset. At the bottom, in block font instead of script, is Garnet's contact information, just in case of questions. Of course, in her true fashion, the paper is framed in a sparkle that, thankfully, doesn't come off like real glitter. From all accounts, it looks like something that was in the plans for months, rather than the few short days it took. Once a Toreador has a project in their hands, they don't let go, so to speak. One is even sent to the Prince and Primogen, in case they decide to make an appearance.

While there is a DJ, there will also be a string band in attendance. Both will take requests. Dance, drink, be merry. Not too merry, of course, there are eyes everywhere, watching and waiting. © tessisamess

His mind was already swimming with half truths and future revelations that quietly faded with every second that ticked away during his moment of awkward, wide-eyed silence; he knew that he'd repeat himself relatively soon, only a bit more forcefully this time, but paired it with an awkward smile that would look pathetically out of place in this glittering facade of a party. A mask that shattered on the marble floor, a white tablecloth that stained red, a glass that shattered, sharp fangs that glinted in the moonlight - and he forcefully hitched his shoulders, and they never quite dropped back down.

"No." More forceful this time, paired with an awkward smile. When was he taking his mask off? Now didn't seem like a great time. "Sorry. Just a [...]" He carelessly put his glass down on a table nearby, and then realized it wasn't draped in white. So far, so good. "Ghost." A ghost. She had to be, this one who seemed perfectly content to confirm rumors of Gehenna, and the skull she carried in a bag from her belt. "I didn't mean to frighten you."

And there was another smile, friendlier this time. "I'm Devan."

Julian and Devan

A ghost? It wasn't outside the realm of possibility, after all, it's why Julian had been so uncomfortable at the Cortez but he hadn't sensed anything here. Maybe this Devan was more sensitive to ghosts than he himself was or maybe he had just really pissed one off and was being personally haunted.

Julian noted the smile. A guy who knew what he had done and was pissed off about it wouldn't be smiling at him would he? Maybe he really didn't know. He supposed there was only one way to find out and that was to talk to him. "Startled me maybe, but you didn't frighten me."

He stepped closer. "I'm Julian," he offered, a small twist of his lips as he did. "Enjoying the party?"
