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.

So, my friend, should we... interrupt?
no subject
Maybe at least Posey will peek out to see what's what.]
no subject
no subject
Oh for the -- Posey! You know better than that!
Reason with him, will you?
[This is an appeal to Maglor.]
no subject
Hello Master Ung. My friend here is worried about you and your... lady friend.
no subject
It is possible that Maglor is the type of person who will at least understand the gist of this and translate it to Jack.]
no subject
The gist is probably pretty clear though ]
Somehow, Jack, I do not think he wants to come.
no subject
Ung-abandonment, possibly.]
So this is goodbye, chap? I supposed you belong here. Petting zoo's nearby, and all, even though you're rather hairless and smooth and rather unnerving to the touch. But she loves you, does she? Will stay with you forever and ever? Keep you out of the butcher's window?
[The ung snarfs. Affirmative. And a somewhat regretful goodbye, too, as he disappears back under the wheelbarrow.]
There. That was my only mate in this whole place. More than Fitzy or Steven or Rip. That ung.
[Oh my God this man needs a drink.]
no subject
I think, my friend, that you need to get a few drinks into you. It's for the best, I'm sure. Come on - I have plenty of credit to my name.
no subject
You rescue an Ung from certain butchery. Together you embark upon heroics untold. You make plans to return to the fleet together, figuring each other for mess mates. And then a woman comes along. Me, I don't settle down. Not the settling-downish type. I don't settle in a downward direction. Captain Jack Sparrow? He keeps sailing, straight and true, without the slightest hint of downing into a settled position.
[At least maybe a few drinks will make him either more or less coherent. Less might be better.]
Trust no one! That's what I say!
no subject
Nothing wrong with a wandering life. But it isn't for everyone, I think. Better you learn this now than out in the world, hm? Trust is something that needs to be built, anyway.
no subject
[He is protesting loudly now, probably drawing the attention of passersby.] What does it get you? Heartache! Pain! Someone shooting you straight in the back.
YOU don't strike me as a wanderer. Bet you're the settling down type!
[Be understanding, Maglor. His Ung just abandoned him. He's tender.]
no subject
[ Maglor refills his glass ]
Ah now, that depends. I have been a wanderer for a very long time now, but the one who could make me settle down is beyond my reach.
no subject
[A toast.]
no subject
To the never ending road and the open skies. [ He murmurms softly ]
no subject
no subject
[ Maglor smiles bitterly at Jack ]
Never swear an Oath, Jack Sparrow. For it will destroy everything you love.
no subject
Right. I'll never do it, mate. Pirate's honor.
no subject
no subject
"Broken oaths keep your heart whole and your head on your shoulders." That's what a very great and handsome and devilishly talented sailor of my acquaintance once said.
no subject
no subject
no subject
Some Oaths do not let you break them, I am afraid.
no subject
no subject
Sadly, unless you can speak to the One Above All, I think this one rather is - by Him we swore, and unless he absolve us, it holds me still, although it is sleeping now, and I hope it remains so.
Well. [ He adds thougthfully ] Since it was my Father who made it, he could also probably unmake it, but he is dead, and the dead can neither make nor unmake, so until he returns to Life, which I doubt will be any time soon...
