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!

The blush on Fate's cheeks deepened as she looked up at Nanoha, and she seemed to be fidgeting even more now.

"You look really cute too, Nanoha."

That's it. Keep the topic away from herself!

Nanoha closed the gap between her and Fate, and Fate could probably sense something mischievous in her eyes as she pursed her lips and reached up to the knot of Fate's tie. "Oh, stop fiddling with that," she chided. "I can straighten it for you."

"S-Sure..." Oh, Fate can definitely see that glint in Nanoha's eye. But, despite what the more reasonable parts of her brain were telling her, she let her girlfriend do what she wanted. Not like really she had a choice, anyway.

"There we go," Nanoha patted the knot with two fingers before reaching down to take Fate's hands in her own. She tilted her head to the side thoughtfully. "You know, I hadn't thought about it before... but you look really good in a suit, Fate-chan."
