HALLOWEEN BALL

[paradisamods]

By now, all residents should have received their invitations. Even those whose were lost in transit have had an invitation brought to them personally by one of the "lively" ghosts of the castle. Formal attire or a costume is required!

The ballroom itself is decorated for the occasion. Fog coats the floor, which has an eerie spiral design on it. Above, the ceiling seems much higher than normal, allowing for bats to fly about and webs to hang down, wafting in a slight draft that brings a slight chill to anyone in the room. The ceiling gives way to a glass window just above, which allows all those in attendance to view the vibrant lightning storm that is going on outside.

Although the room itself seems dark and spoopy, the music remains fairly upbeat, if not a bit eerie itself.

The ghosts at the door are happy to invite you in. You need only present yourself and your invitation. Have fun!

[Feel free to add in your own sections if you'd like!

Also, some lovely selections of food and drink for the buffet table! Thanks, Mugsy!]

The Black Swan. What else?

_{[ He arched a dark brow, dark as his feathers, and spun them around elegant, moving with the grace of the most gifted ballet dancers. He guided the white clad Meg, keeping her close, but just that fraction of space to keep from being to improper. ]}

By 'lord' I assume you mean the Christian god, yes?

[She tilted her head to the side. It sounded as if he expected her to know what that was, but she did not.]

I don't understand that reference, but your costume is quite attractive.

[She's intrigued by the question.]

Yes. Are there other Gods where you come from?

[peacockherald]

Yes. Many. The Karsites have their single god, the Tayledras their own pantheon, and my own people have their own. I've met one once - a goddess.

_{[ She had offered him death there and then, or the promise of continued peace for his people if he chose to live. He chose to live. ]}

[She nods politely. She had never personally met God himself, but very few had, really. She just knew she had to be a good soldier. Still, she was not unfamiliar with the many different dieties of Earth's various religions.]

How... interesting. Which ones are the most powerful?

[peacockherald]

I couldn't say. We pray and make our offerings, but I cannot say I actually have seen their touch before. I have only met the one and she merely gave me a path to choose and walk. I chose, and I have not seen her since.

_{[ He wasn't sure he ever would, or, now, if he had even seen a Goddess at all. Maybe it had just been his soul in an hour of desperation, trying to figure out what if he wished to push or die. ]}
