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!]

[He has to give her credit, she really does look very pretty. Also he appreciates the lack of mocking, he probably deserves it. ]

Well hey, Sansa. Still looking lovely!

[He looks at the dancefloor and yeah...that. ]

You know, I haven't had a chance to bust my moves yet.

[ heavens! her chin tilts. ]

The party has been well underway for some time -- and you've not yet asked any fair maidens to the floor? For shame, Captain Sokka.

[alwayscomeback]

[He rubs the back of his head with a rueful chuckle. ]

Well, so many of those fair maidens seem to have dashing young fellas of their own. I'd hate to cut in.

[steeledskin]

How rude of them to dance with only one gentleman the entire evening, [ sansa remarks. so different, indeed, from westerosi dances. ]

[alwayscomeback]

So it's normal to switch partners around a little?

[He has no idea. Suki was never into this kind of thing. Yue, maybe, he never really got to learn. ]

[steeledskin]

Certainly. There are whole dances structured around the exchange of partners. But it seems none of them are being danced tonight.

[alwayscomeback]

Huh, how about that. Maybe you could teach them a thing or two?

[steeledskin]

Mayhaps. It is unseemly to dance with only one partner all night -- even at a wedding, the new husband and wife are expected to dance with all sorts.

[alwayscomeback]

Well, that makes sense. I mean, all those people show up, you're gonna want to dance with as many people as you can.
