Razor, this is your home, so I'm leaving it up to you to do the intro on how everything is set up and what not. Posting order will be issued once everyone has successfully posted. To keep things together, if your partner posts before you do, your post is auto after theirs, so you will not have to post until the thread has officially started.

Kayen and Ravina had arrived at the ball as one of the first couples there. The Vampire Lord was obvious even with the full silver face mask that covered his entire face. His blond hair flowed down his back along with the red shoulder cape that was attached to his right shoulder. The rest of his outfit was a simple black tuxedo with a red vest and very nice boots with silver studs.

As he stepped into the place with the hand of his lover in his own hand, the Vampire's eyes looked around the building through the one way eye slits of his mask. Others looking at the mask would see golden eyes, but Kayen could see perfectly from behind the mask. The edges of the mask had also been sharpened and in an emergency, it would be a good weapon -- or seriously mess up his face.

and as you get back into line;;a mob jumps to their feet

now dancer, fucker, dance;;man, he never had a chance

While the manor was large enough to hold the hoards of people that would dance and drink away the night, or until sun took some. The grounds were turned from a leisure area into a grand ball. The pool was open for those that wished to take a dip, while it's main purpose was to light up at the night as multi-faceted lights in a range of colours where both floating and embedded into the pool.

While the pool may have great use so would the many tables arranged just so. A table for those that enjoyed a meat free diet, a table for those that would enjoy meat, with hot oil to cook it if they so wished. The final table held small fountains of blood, while the smell of blood was offset but some means, the beauty of the red water gushing was interesting.

Razor himself was adding the final touches to his outfit, while he was Arianna was fussing just the same in eiter her room or waiting for him. Grimicing, Razor put on a simple pure metal mask on. It covered her forehead to his nose, while the sides sweeped down to the side of his bottom jaw. The mask was made out of hammered steel and gold. Half and half. His hair lacked the mild messy manner, rather going for a slicked back, slightly oiled look. Straighten his white suit with a single black tye, Razor headed towards the grounds.

and no one even knew;;it was really only you

He was sitting in the gold and black limo, next to his sweetheart Kystin. Wearing a white mask covering his eyes, forehead, nose and cheeks. Revealing only his mouth, matched with a nice white suit to match with his date. He gives her a smile as he rested a hand on her thigh. He leans over to her giving her a loving kiss, resting his head on hers. "Were going to fun tonight right?" He said sweetly. Though he had a plan, tonight it was a rather good plan seeing it would benefit the lycan empire. He looks deeply into her eyes, telling her, he only wanted to be with her and only her. Hopefully she doesn't know what he had planned.

He also hoped the PVs and the TPs don't know what was going on as well. He maintained his composure so he wouldn't freak out Kystin. She was always danger proned once she started to freak out, is exepected from a innocent angel such as her. The more he thought about it, the more unworthy of her he felt and the more protective of her he was. Seeing as he is condamn by god to be more of a wolf than a man, never to see the light of heaven nor the darkness of death. Force to wonder on earth creating chaos even if he wanted a peaceful life it wouldn't be allowed. And her innocence would get her in trouble with all those psychos out there, finding pleasure out of hurting an innocent.

But as those thoughts course through his mind, he maintained his smile and flirtious look. He wanted to remained as it was just a nice drive with a lover. But the limo stopped infront the manor the door was opened b the driver and he exited the limo letting out a hand to help his date. The smell of the vampire leader was nearby, boy tonight will be fun indeed. He looked up and a small shadow moved into the highest room. Let the fun begin....

They had arrived finally after a long ride and the children finding her a mask that would do. And as Ravina looked at Kayen, she smiled to herself. He looked wonderful, a real sight to behold in his attire and she felt pride knowing that she belonged to him. And Ravina knew she looked good as well because Mia and Meya had helped her for hours; taming her curls, applying a decent amount of makeup. Her own mask hid the makeup, but when it was time, she would have to take it off.

Stepping into the house, Ravina's eyes wandered across every inch of it. It was beautiful of course, but she still loved their home the best. And as she looked back at Kayen she couldn't help but laugh. He had sharpened the edges of the mask for emergencies, but Ravina knew that he could very well hurt himself. Of course he knew it as well, so she didn't bother him with such a small thing. Ravina tossed back her curls and pecked him on the cheek to bring him out of his daydreaming as they walked. "Love, nothing will hurt you this night. I'll see to that," she teased him with a grin, knowing good and well that he could protect himself better than most anyone.

Well, wasn't this just fantastic?

A masquerade ball. Filled with them. how had he even ended up in here? He very well knew humans weren't so welcome. Hmm, perhaps no one would find out until the end. The mask did it's own job of hiding his rather familiar face. He doubted anyone would catch his scent with all the "people" filling up the place.

So, he heard he had a "date". A forced smile crept on his lips behind the Green Man mask he had over his face. If this young lady was a vampire, or a werewolf, this place would find itself in a riot. After all, he couldn't just let them live, if you could consider them living.

He wasn't stupid, however- if he tried any "funny business" he would most likely be killed. Too many underworld creatures in the castle. David would have to learn to keep a very calm, composed presence. Mistakes were not to be taken. Perhaps when the time came, he would strike. He never went anywhere without his assorted weapons gallery, so aptly put.

felix ;;


Tonight was going to be fun. Felix grinned, her read hair done up fro a change, matching her dress and mask, completing the outfit perfectly, green eyes sparkling. Her steps were confident, and not too attention drawing, but well placed and even. It was truly beautiful here, the lights and the whole atmosphere. The werewolf was at ease, knowing that there would be no attacks on anyone during the night, despite the mingling of species and many blood grudges.

Having no idea exactly who her partner was just yet, but knowing that she would soon meet them, and then, later, unmask the fellow, Felix waited at their anonymously prearranged spot, graceful, and for the first time in a while, carrying only a dagger, no other weapons, though she was confident it wouldn't be needed. Her neck was bare, drawing even more attention to the strapless clothing. Lucian wouldn't mind that she came for a good time - after all, it wasn't like the female werewolf was cheating on him.



cero ;;


This was a change for the half-breed. Cero wasn't one for crowds, more like he was a wanderer, preferring the occasional company of a man or woman in bed, and then leaving to continue on, his life moving quickly, though it wasn't as though he would end it soon. His suit was from one of the best and easiest shops to steal from, and hi s mask] was one that he had worked hard to get. Made of nothing but pure silver, the little raccoon-shifter was glad he wasn't a Lycan. It was simple yet elegant, and covered his eyes, curving out, with defined angles. He waited, arms slightly folded across his chest, waiting for his mystery date. Hopefully, nothing would go wrong.

But that was too much to hope for. After all, this was a get-together for all the species, and he knew about the wars. Cero had absolutely no intention of getting caught up in that. A quick glance over to the tables where the food for numerous species made him grin. Obviously, this mute would find this eent to be worth his while.

((Clumped meh charries together, yell at me if yah want me to change. ))

Late? No, the party had just begun. And what a better way to arrive than in the smooth crawl of the Bugatti Veyron. The headlights licking the exterior of the impressive building before he came to a stop, casting a cold glare in the direction of the valet who approached. Keys in hand, he enclosed it in to a fist around them, shaking his head as he closed the drivers door and stepped out. Gunnar was a giant of a man. 6'5, his attire being that of a white with red trimmed suit that fit like perfection. Long stride carried him to the entry way, up the stairs to the doors that were swiftly opened upon his arrival by the two doormen. He never hesitated, not offering the two even a glance as he stepped through the threshold.

The handsome features of his face were covered by the white face plate recognizable as The Phantom Of The Opera's mask. Coiling down one half of his face in a porcelain appearance while leaving the majority of the other half open, yet shielding his eyes. The facade was a piece he had on his desk back at the shop, and had owned for years, so best put it to some use. Hair slicked back, his minty fresh breath spilling over his lips in a calm exhale as he approached the butler, who would soon pair him with his partner that he had requested upon RSVPing to the event.

It would seem he was one of the last to arrive, yet he had not missed much. Mask fiends and creatures swept across the flooring of the building with fluid grace. Some enjoying a dance while others took to the tables. Gunnar was not much for crowds, and from his perch beside the butler, hands folded infront of him, he spotted the pool. Perhaps things would get more interesting than he had expected.

Arianna

She fixed her dress, mask not on yet she waited for Razor to get ready, there were guests waiting. She didn't want to be late. As much as she loved him she hated how he was always taking his time. She looked at her self in a mirror and stretched. She smiled perfect she thought to herself. She knew Edward would love it too. The mask that she had in her hand matched her dress well. It had bead that dropped down over her cheek and stopped just before her luscious lips. Her elegant blone hair curled and placed in a half pony tail. She swayed lightly and leaned against the door frame looking at edward. She smiled gently at him.

Auhnalay

She yawned slightly as she walked into the area, she was told that they had set a date for her, she was just worried who and what he was. She didn't feel the need to put away her wings. It made her look suspicious. I mean not everyone knew this fallen angel with two wings one white one black. She giggled some to herself the mask on her face covered her eyes and pivoted into a nice design on the right side. Her hair was straight and little curls were thrown into random places, she walked up to the male her voice soft and enchanting.

'I take it, we were paired?'

[david]

David peered over, hearing a woman's voice that seemed to be speaking to him. He forced a light smile at her question, although his poor eyesight (wearing a mask didn't really allow one to wear glasses) made it difficult for him to discern exactly what she was. He did see shapes, however, especially that of wings. An angel? Not particularly bad...but not good either.

Why did he have to come here? This whole place made him edgy. "It seems that we are," he said finally, bowing formally. He hadn't much dressed up for the occasion. Not that it mattered. He was only wearing a brief tux, one of dark green to somewhat match with the GreenMan mask. He used it to throw people off. Maybe they would pass him off as a faery, other than a human. It kept him out of suspicion. So he hoped.

get back in town i wanna paint it black

Razor smiled when he saw Arianna. She looked beautiful, perfect. Walking over to her, Razor planted a kiss on her temple. Razor linked fingers with Arianna and started towards the grounds. "Sorry babe I took so long, but what is the point going to a party, if no one is here." Razor gave her a wink, and opened the aget to the grounds.

A

Smiled at him and kissed him on the lips after he to her temple. She watched him lace his fingers around hers and start to walk 'my love there are some people she giggled and kept close to him. Mask would go on when they entered the crowd. She leaned her head on his shoulder as he led the way.

Auhna

She looked at him and sighed 'I will not dance with you, I will not touch you. .' she simply stated to him as she moved a bit forward her wings touching him sightly 'I wouldn't want my master to smell Human on me' She smiled and looked at him. She knew more then others Her duo wings for a fallen was rare. She eleaned against a post and smiled. waiting.

[emiko]

Layla-

Layla was not sure why she had come. What would be the reason of doing such a thing? She was dressed in a short black dress and a cute mask that was black as well. She looked beautiful, but in this dress her navy blue wing was showing. She kept it close, though, but was unable to keep it under her clothing. Was she without the scary bunny here? No, he was with her. She had him tight against her chest as usual. He, too, wore a mask though this was a red color and looked strange on a stuffed animal. How was Layla to dance with a bunny in her arms? Even she wasn't sure how she was going to pull it off. Perhaps she had no intention of dancing.

"Are you serious? A dance? Get this damn thing off my head, Layla," Kyle said in a demanding tone. He didn't want to waste time with such things. Layla looked down at him, her blue eyes bright from behind her mask. That silly purple bunny. He looked so strange with a crimson mask tied around his head. His big ears flopped over the sides and made him look rather cute and less intimidating. Layla wondered who she had been paired with for this evening. Why was Layla here? To meet people, of course. Yea, strange, but the little angel wanted to see people. Perhaps her partner would be cute enough to be worthy of dancing. Hopefully not someone she hated. "Layla, leave here," Kyle demanded, obviously a bit jealous of the man who would get to dance with his angel. They had agreed to meet in a certain place and she had finally found him. Her eyes fell on the boy and narrowed. "Oh dear" Kyle said softly. Tonight, Layla wasn't looking to make things depressing. Not yet anyway. though her partner would still feel a bit uncomfortable, she wasn't going to mess with the threads of emotion from him.



Anari-

She was a bit shy to join this masquerade and after looking through several things to wear she finally came out with something she quite enjoyed. Sure, it wasn't her favorite color but she loved it anyway. Her dress was blue in color though she usually wore blacks and purples. It still looked good on her gorgeous figure, though. It was obvious that she would look good in just about anything. Her gray eyes peered out from behind the favorite object she wore tonight, her mask. She gained a bit of confidence as she wandered through pairs of people. the masquerade was to be held on the grounds of someones home. She didn't know who owned the place but she figured she would before the event was over.

She didn't know who this partner was of hers, either. So, she stood alone feeling quite lonely while she waited for her partner to show. What if he didn't come? What if she was alone for the night because he wanted to make her look bad? Thoughts filled her mind and she felt paranoid but she just wanted to have a good time tonight. She just wanted to look beautiful and have a good time. She wasn't going to let her paranoia overtake her tonight. That small feeling of needing to get away would be pushed aside and she would let the needs of the eagle in her to come forward. That need to be free. She had her freedom. Now, she just needed to enjoy herself. What more could anyone ask for? She nibbled on her lip as she waited, still not wanting to be left alone. There were other people here but she didn't pay any attention to them for the time being.

She stepped gracefully from her car, a red dress complimented the dark color of her hair and brought out the green of her eyes. The woman smiled at the crowd that had already gathered. She was always had been fashionably late, after all it was her style. A red mask matched the scheme of her dress, her brother had joked calling her a chile pepper, instead of a person. She chuckled silently and made her way into the crowd. The dress hugged her features just enough to show a bit of her curves, as if slightly enticing someone to dare dance with her. The Spanish woman was a dancer, but she danced the way she learned in Spain and whomever didn't like it could go die in a hole for all she cared. Stepping towards the manor with a rather confident aura around her she looked to the doormen and they opened the gates. She walked elegantly, but with a sense of regalness that not many could place a word to. Her shoes clicked lightly on the ground before she had entered the building. Smiling she noted the small looks some men gave her. Heh poor saps, they wouldn't get much more than a glance at her.

Oh yes. Tonight would be fun she would make sure of that. Her green eyes took in the sight of the different creatures of the night beginning to congregate for a masquerade. Her mask was one she had bought in Spain recently, the female smiled, most people would buy from Venice, Italy because of the quality of the goods that they made. None of them knew of Spain's rather high quality goods as well because Spain wasnt the center of the Renaissance like Italy had been in those good years of Europe. The woman strode around not many people seemed to catch her eye, they all seemed to bland, they melted in with the background and she didn't like that. She liked to stand out, but even now in her red dress she didn't stand out like a sore thumb, but she stood out enough to get noticed a little bit which was fine by her. The female lycan strode about, she had been set up with some guy. She knew her brother usually didn't approve of that kind of thing. Ah yes, the love hate relationship siblings had even now.

She looked about, and saw a poolside area.. water drew her in like a magnet. If you wanted to impress this woman, have a huge pool. Tina smiled and walked towards it off in her own little world when she made the first rather klutzy move of the night. "-oof" she said as she bumped into a man that was tall. Much taller than that of many other men. She grinned to herself, and brushed by the man catching a glimpse of his phantom of the opera mask and she chuckled before reaching the pool area. The night was young and the wind brushed against her face. The short but dark ish hair of the lycaness blew in the direction the breeze was blowing in.

Yes tonight would be lots of fun.
