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!

"Relax. They don't make you look bad at all, and I do like 'em. You're just a bit of an easy mark sometimes, and it's hard not to tease ya a bit. Gets you all kinds of ruffled."

Kang shook his head and snagged himself another glass of champagne, "I feel like enough of a fool wearing this ridiculous outfit."

"Yeah, outfit ain't so much you." Kaylee observes it carefully. "Needs more armor, I'd think. And less ties."
governorkang: (Well shit / Disgusting)

Kang snorted. "I'd much rather my armor, or even a simple kilt. I don't think I've ever worn pants before." Down went the champagne. Why the hell didn't they have anything stronger?

He wore those coveralls in DC...

"You don't got Dress Armor or somethin'? I'm sure there could be some compromise found, yeah?"
governorkang: (Having fun)

ffff I wish I had art of that

"Not really, beyond trying to keep it looking decent. I'll survive the night, though. Somehow," Kang shrugged.

If I could draw... o9

"If you got offed by a suit, Kang," Kaylee laughs, bumping his shoulder, "I'm afraid it'd be filed as one of the saddest things I ever heard or saw."
