beauty & the beast montage

One moment, your character was minding their own business, and the next? Perhaps they opened the wrong door, appeared out of nowhere, or maybe, in a decidedly rare occurrence, they were actually escorted. The choice is yours. Either way, they seem to have found themselves at a formal party.



Spread out before them is a large ballroom. The decorations look like something from a fairy tale; high ceilings supported by stone pillars, walls adorned with gold trimmings and white silk curtains, and a high balcony overlooking an ornate marble dance floor. To the far end, a special stage has been set up, where a small orchestra fills the room with classical waltzes. Overhead, a large crystal chandelier illuminates everything with droplets of rainbow light.

To the sides and on the balcony small clusters of people make leisurely conversation and sip champagne. Several busboys carrying silver trays can be seen taking and delivering drink orders, regardless of age. Several couples choose instead to dance; the most graceful tend towards the middle, while the more inexperienced do their best to stay in the places they will be the most unobtrusive.

Should your character choose to go outside, they will be met with clear, starlit skies, a cool breeze, and a lavish rose garden. Several small tables are set up, lit by candles, where waiters take orders for a full-course dinner. Some of course, choose instead to gather near the ever-present Cod Fountain. Several pieces of strange currency can be seen at the bottom of the fountain; it seems that it's a popular place to wish for happiness.



THE RULES:
-Your characters' clothing with be replaced with formal wear, though the degree of formality is entirely up to you.
-Don't go having epic duels and destroying the building and what have you.
-If you please, you can use NPCs, but you will have to write them yourself.
-Standard "DON'T BE DOUCHEBAGS TO OTHER PLAYERS" disclaimers apply.
-????
-PROFIT!

::There won't be asking about that but there is a curious little thing in very, very strange and very, very ornate apparel (finery? You decide) walking slowly. Toward the unfamiliar scent of cigar-smoke, he's walking as if he'd just re-learned how. Well, he kind of has. And he's not 'looking' anywhere. Rather, his nose is sniffing, angled toward said smoke::

Hell-loww? Wha-t is?

Pyro was watching the... critter of some sort watching the smoke. Just for kicks, he blew a few smoke rings. Again, don't ask how.

::He's sniffing and misses the smoke-rings. Well, until the edge of one meets his face, which results in a sound that's...kind of an almost-sneeze::

Is yeu si-ck?

The Pyro just laughs, muffled of course. He holds the cigar up and points to it as the source of the smoke.

::Unfortunately, gestures don't get any reaction from him. Not even eye movement::

Pyro notices this, and waves his free hand in front of the critter's face. "Hey, you in there?"

::And once again, the waving hand isn't...well, it's not perceived as there. The question however, earns an arched eyebrow::

Eey-ess. Rrrr-enne noh go no-wherrrre.
