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!]

In truth, it's Beverly's dress that first catches Syeira's eye. It's so different. Such full skirts and looks like it must be made of silks. When she's close enough to speak, she realizes who the red head under the mask is.

"Beverly!" Sye's voice chirrups from just slightly behind her. "You look so lovely. I've never seen a dress like that."

Beverly starts at the sound of Syeira's voice, but when she turns and sees who it is, she breaks out in a huge smile. "Well thank you!" She looks down at the dress for a moment. "It's modeled after some styles popular in Earth's past, when masquerades like this were particularly popular."

"It must be so heavy for the skirts to be that full!" She moves a hand like she wants to touch the shiny fabric. She's never heard of hoops or petticoats or the like. They don't exist where she's from, so she is actually picturing hundreds of layers of cloth to make that bell shape in the skirt.

Beverly smiles. "Go ahead, you can touch it." Not like she's going to be wearing it all that often. "It's heavier than my typical clothing, certainly, but it's not as heavy as it looks. I've got petticoats underneath that help hold it up."
