EVENT MINGLE | Dreadhorses's Formal Ball
Who: Anyone attending the Ball!
Broadcast: If you’d like.
Action: Orfwyn Dreadhorse’s personal asteroid
When: May 12th - 13th …. 14th if you really like to party.
Welcome to the biggest party of the season! Grab a date, dress up to the nines, and get ready to party the night away! In other words, it’s a mingle! Feel free to make a top level with any prompts or styles you prefer.
Arrival
There is one open point of access on this asteroid, through Mr. Dreadhorse’s personal docking station. Here, shuttles or ships can dock for the night. There are a couple of points of entry out of the dock and into the actual asteroid, all of them manned by guards who will ask for your invitation to the party, as well as make sure you’re appropriately dressed. Any weapons that can be spotted will be confiscated until you leave, or you will be asked to leave them on your ship. The security searches aren’t too invasive, so if a character has means to hide a weapon, they probably can do so successfully (unless you want them to fail, of course).
Anyone staying back on the ships or barred entry are free to explore the docking area, and they’ll find Mr. Dreadhorse was nice enough to stock the docking area with vending machines you’d find on a way-station and even a slushie machine (flavors come in red and blue).
Dance Hall
Once past the docking station, guests will be escorted through the entryway into the Dance Hall. The place itself is massive, with the place looking like a concert hall and a ballroom combined into one. There’s a stage at the front of the hall, where numerous live bands will play throughout the night. The genres of music vary widely so there’s something for everyone, but there’s one popular song that’ll get played by several bands throughout the night: a song about a band of heroes led by Furiosa, liberating an asteroid from pirates.
Mr. Dreadhorse himself will get on stage and introduce each band, with the same eccentric flair that a rockstar would. Interested passengers with musical talent might be even able to convince Mr. Dreadhorse to let them perform as substitutes for any bands that had to cancel last minute, though they’ll have to prove to him they actually know what they’re doing.
Concert enthusiasts can head to the seating in front of the stage to watch the performances up close. Or if you’re more in the dancing mood, there’s a huge dance floor further away. Don’t worry about not being to hear the music - this place was designed by best acoustics engineers in the system, featuring excellent surround sound and practically perfect coverage.
Food & Drink
What’s a party without refreshments? In a room off to the side of the Dance Hall, partygoers will find a couple of open bars, serving the finest drinks you can find in the system - both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The drinks are free, but at each bar, there’s a rather obvious tip jar sitting on the counter. If your character keeps returning to the bar without giving any tips, expect the bartenders to get more passive aggressive.
In another side room, there is a massive buffet of food set up. High quality foods from this system as well as the past couple of systems can be found, all cooked to perfection and placed in a beautiful presentation. Catering staff are constantly bustling about to ensure that the food is fresh, the trays remain full, and everyone is satisfied with the selection.
Between these two side rooms is another, bigger room that connects them, full of tables and places to sit if you’re looking to have a meal or a place to chat. The music can still be heard in this room, but it isn’t so loud that you have to shout to have a conversation. Waitstaff are available to make sure your needs are met, but otherwise, they will remain silent and politely stay off to the side and out of the way. They are all excellent at their jobs, and perhaps you’ll even find that your glass has been refilled before you can even make the request!
Live Entertainment
Looking for something to do besides music? Then head outside of Dance Hall and you’ll find lots of other entertainment options (as well as another open bar and a smaller buffet). There are bioluminescent gardens to walk through, and even a petting zoo full of local animals. Out in the gardens, there’s an outdoor performance stage where theater troupes will be performing different plays all night (including the fleet’s own troupe, who’ll be performing the play “Captain Bree and her Lady Pirates”).
Furthest away from the Dance Hall, you’ll find that Mr. Dreadhorse even has his own personal racetrack, where ATV races are being held throughout the night. Passengers may watch the races, or even take part of one themselves!
Private Spots
This is a crowded party, so it’s expected you might want some privacy. Thankfully, it’s possible for guests to sneak away to numerous nooks and corners all over the place: plenty of hallways, balconies overlooking the gardens, quiet outdoor areas... If you’re looking for somewhere extra private, there just so happens to be an entire wing of Mr. Dreadhorse’s mansion devoted to guest bedrooms. All of them are decorated in a way you’d expect a rock or heavy metal star to decorate a private getaway (circle beds, bold colors and prints, fuzzy stuff, etcetera). They’re free for the taking, but remember to lock the door- other partygoers might get the same idea you have.
---------
Looking to steal some stuff? The heist mingle can be found here! The heist itself ICly takes place late into the night and will not disrupt the party, so feel free to have your characters do as they like.
If you have any questions, feel free to direct them over to the OOC post.

[She takes her glass and raises it in return, not nearly as dramatic as Sparrow, but playing along.]
To tonight?
no subject
To tonight -- may it be filled with wonder and magic. And larceny.
[Clink.]
no subject
Not one for keeping a low profile, are you?
no subject
But enough about Captain Jack Sparrow. I'd love to hear more about you.

no subject
My dreams and desires, huh? That's a big list. But I don't dream much.
no subject
no subject
Some of us are a little more pragmatic.
no subject
Nonsense! Dream something now. Bet you can! And not the one about endless falling, either -- I'm talkin' about the future, lass.
I'll help you. It's five years from now. You're -- ?
no subject
Boring answer, but not everyone's good at looking ahead. Easier not to get your hopes up.
no subject
He LOVES dangerous women.]
Ahem...you meet a gloriously handsome and dashing man. You run off with him for a life of adventure. He continuously sweeps you off your feet. Later there are babies, maybe. Then more adventures, typically on majestic sailing vessels. Treasures are discovered. And so forth.
no subject
She finishes off her not whiskey.]
That sounds like quite the dream, Jack. You must have a lot of practice with this.
no subject
[He takes a long swallow.] Your turn, now.
no subject
[Who is she to turn down another round of drinks, though. She doesn't try to end the conversation. Not like it would be hard.]
I'll give you "alive." And probably working. [Because she can't imagine being one without the other.] As for being swept off my feet, I'm not that young.
But a woman is a good thing to have on those lonely nights. I won't argue you there.
[Her tone grows more teasing at the end.]
1/2
2/2
[There. Back to smug, sort-of-drunken challenges.]
no subject
Do you really? And what makes you think that?
[Then more arch.]
I hope you don't mean literally, because that doesn't end well for you.
no subject
[He stands up, swaying slightly. It might be drunkenness, though he mostly always sways slightly.]
Bet I could pick you right up like they do in the stories, all romantical-like. Come on, it'll be fun. I'll bet you three pounds I can do it.
[He doesn't have three pounds.]

[Prepare to watch the already-unsteady sailor chug his next shot like a boss.]
no subject
You don't have to rush it. I'll still be here if you take a minute.
no subject
In my experience, lovely Natasha, I've learned never to take that sort of thing for granted. What if you're not here?
[The women in his life tend to leave him, some in horrible circumstances. This jovial, playful, tipsy admission hints at some far deeper abandonments. Maybe.]
And it would be criminal to miss a dance with you.
