Masquerade Mingle

[thespaceopera]

[The night has finally come--the Gravity Rush is nearly upon us! What normally serves as a large performance hall has been gutted, emptied of its boring furniture and rigged up into a fantastical mismatch of technology and old culture. No matter where you go tonight, you're encouraged to move around, dance, play games, whatever helps you sleep in late tomorrow morning.

If you aren't one for scurrying around a ballroom all night, there's always plenty of people-watching to do. After all, so many people are wearing extravagant costumes and elaborate masks. How can you even tell who is who? Get lost in a crowd of sequins, chatter with a sun and a moon, or try to beat the guy in the monster-mask at a game of cards. Meet your friends or make some new ones--this masquerade party has begun!]

[precedented]

Nonsense. I would call you Lady Katherine.

[passingthrough]

I stand corrected. [And amused.] Of the House Pryde?

[precedented]

I suppose that would work. I would consider the house of X to be more appropriate.

[passingthrough]

Sounds sexier too. We'll go with that. Want to try this conversation with more touching and moving? [She has a way with words, doesn't she?]

[precedented]

Not on a first dance, I hope.

[ But he holds his hand out. ]

[passingthrough]

Oh, definitely on the first dance. [She takes his hand. See? Already touching and moving is just a moment away.] I'm scandalous.

[precedented]

Best not to make it public. I want my reputation to survive.

[ He leads her smoothly onto the floor. Here, Leto is all sinewy grace and poise, the perfect prince. ]

[passingthrough]

And what reputation is that, Sir Leto? [She follows along without question. Her movements on the dance floor are fluid and responsive.]

[precedented]

I'll let you know once I ferment it properly.

[passingthrough]

I had no idea reputations were like wine. Do they get better with age and make you sleepy too?

[precedented]

Oh, always. Some people will drone on and on about them, especially in high society.

[passingthrough]

[That gets a laugh.] So, just a proper, non-scandalous dance now?

[precedented]

[ He admits, blase. ]

For now.

[passingthrough]

The exciting potential of more. I like this jacket you've got going. [She's just going to touch some of the detailing. Don't mind her.]

[precedented]

It is similar to the kind I used to wear on Arrakis.

[ Well. In the palace, at least. You don't normally wear good clothes outside of the city. ]

[passingthrough]

Were you lucky enough to find it or did you make it?

[precedented]

I bought the material and made it myself.

[ For Leto, very little is impossible. Especially when he can pull out any skill he needs. ]

[passingthrough]

Talented. My date made my dress. I might make it a new condition for dating me. It's pretty nice.

[precedented]

I'm impressed. It is hard to find a man with good dress-making skills.

[passingthrough]

I wasn't even looking, but there he was. [There's a soft sort of smile here. She's grown very fond of Winn.]

[precedented]

I hear that's quite common.

[ Having someone appear and realizing how important they can be. ]

[passingthrough]

Seems special to me.

[precedented]

Oh, it is special. But normal enough that any of us can have it.

[passingthrough]

Well, if I'm going to share the experience it seems like a pretty good one to share.

[precedented]

I hope we all get to have it, someday.
