Your Vigesimi invite you to join them in a night of feasting and frivolity to celebrate all the glory of the Dome and its citizenry.


~-~-~- Letter from Vigesimi Datal Allavium to Amidison Stronghand -~-~-~

To the most esteemed and worthy Vigesimi Adimison Stronghand, your most diligent and trusty Vigesimi Datal Allavium sends greetings and wishes for your health and well-being.

As I am sure your self have seen, so many of our beloved citizens have come to us offering themselves in service to the realm, for the benefit of all. It seems fitting that such loyalty and devotion is deserving of thanks, praise and celebration. With this in mind, I propose, we hold a ball for our devoted citizenry to celebrate and honour all the hard work and commitment that collectively goes in to keeping Yliakum strong.

With fondest wishes for your continued strength in all things, I await your agreement.

Your ever admiring friend and fellow in the cause

- Vigesimi Datal Allavium.





There will be lots of nice food, drink and dancing, with random mini-events occurring throughout night, including awards for best costume (char description), best couple and much more! We are very much looking forward to seeing everyone there and plan on making the night one to remember!

[See the planeshift.it events calendar for up-to-date time/date for this event]

Contact: Myself, Sorka, Kyyjunuut or Laros if you have any questions.

Rules:

1. All attendees must come in disguise, this will mean using an ALT (non-main character)
2. No impersonating other character/players names, this is trolling.
3. This is a celebratory event, no fighting or arguing

Any trouble makers will be shamed.

Nice chandelier. However, forcing using an alt seems like a bit much, but I figure it must be connected to advancing the story.

[Love it, great idea, especially with alts :)  I think there will be some fighting, it's hard to say prior how everyone must behave, non?  I mean, some characters throw tables dead sober.  And ditto what Bilbous just wrote, so true :)]

Somewhere in the city of Hydlaa, Nicoletta reads the ornately lettered parchment slowly, stepping closer to look at the beautiful costumed people, trying to make out who they might be.

THIS ROCKS!

I like the alt idea.. AND perhaps people might be encouraged to make an alt in the same skin as the main they are in disquise as- so at least the height and type of character race would be the same as who you are disquising?

We could have a guessing game, of which alt is who ICly...

and yeah LigH me too...
RR alias who knows! /me starts planning his masque

Hmm, I couldn't see anything in the calendar, is this still scheduled for 3 May?

If it is, then time is running out for Cwyndeth to steal rob some money in order to buy blackmail someone in order to get cajole his way into somehow get his hands on suitable attire. Because, of course, if it's a celebration of hard work, devotion, loyalty and commitment, Cwyn must be there.   ;D

I would like to know if it's on or not anyway - anyone spoken to Tazen recently?  I haven't been on so don't know.

Cheers Cwyn, Mouli, RR et al.  :love:

EDIT:  Lilura, appreciate the moderating, although you may have missed a bit above, but don't change my grammar please (i.e. capitalizing "would" and removing apostrophe from "it's" - I've got faults but bad grammar is not the worst of them - cheers  :detective:)

There were very creative costumes. I wonder if some would be willing to post them here.
Also, thanks for making the event. Alone preparing the decoration probably took quite some time.

I believe the GMs did not understand the "living twines" costume; I can't understand why it didn't win.

No, that was not mine.

Post by: Illysia on May 04, 2014, 09:03:58 pm
So what happened?
Title: Re: The Vigesimi Masquerade Ball
Post by: LigH on May 04, 2014, 09:34:12 pm
People in disguise met, ate, drank, danced, flirted ... got stabbed and arrested ... then received rewards and unmasked ... I believe. It was late for me.

Amidison Stronghand and Datal Allavium were present as Vigesimi. And as guard also Hunor Csolt ... Csolt, hmmm ... a relative of Denes?

The winners were Grundig (a dwarf in a made-up Kran shell) as best single costume and Gimikisa with Wymmahr (a Gobble and a Maulbernaut) as best couple.

And here a brief summary of the incident:

Quote
Kwynsin looks over to the vine-lady with a smile behind the cowl "Oh...you are in search of a partner? Me too."
...
Kwynsin reaches out to take the vine-lady's hand politely.
...
Rerat examines Kwynsin for a moment, then takes his hand with what seems to be a smile.
...
Kwynsin looks over the vine-lady, still smiling as they begin to dance together.
...
Rerat's vines start to slowly spin around her body as she dances.
Kwynsin continues the routine, dipping her occasionally with a smile on his face "You dance well, madam. A gift of Xiosia, I say."
Rerat says: Xiosia bestows her gifts wisely, then.
Rerat winks at Kwynsin.
Kwynsin smirks and continues to dance with the maiden
...
Kwynsin reaches inside his robes with one hand mid-dance-routine, while he is dipping her with his other arm.
...
Rerat keeps dancing with Kwynsin, she fully concentrates on the music.
...
Kwynsin takes out something as he is doing a dance step with her and brings the arm he is holding something with around behind her, taking the arm from behind her and using it to take her hand gently.
...
Rerat takes hold of Kwynsin's hand and does a full spin in the rythm of the music.
...
Kwynsin smirks to Rerat as she does this, still keeping his other arm clear of her.
...
Kwynsin continues to dance with the lady, using the hand that's not holding something to hold her by the hand while using the other arm for support as needed.
...
Kwynsin continues to dance with the vine-lady
...
Kwynsin dips the vine-lady again, then brings her back up. He flicks the shiv from the backhanded, against-the-arm grip that he was using to a forehand grip and tries to drive it into the vine-lady's kidney as she stands.
...
Rerat is hit by the shiv, as it pierces her body she shrieks and stumbles backwards, staring in disbelief at the blood dripping out of the wound.
Grundig says: No!
Amidison flicks her eyes to the guard.
Gimikisa looks up at the shreik
Kwynsin pulls the shiv free and lowers the crumpling form of the maiden to the ground.
Rerat looses her footing and falls backwards against the bar.
Amidison says: Guard, deal with that.
Rerat is bleeding out of a wound on her stomach.
Wymmahrr says: What is the matter?
Hunor looks around for signs of trouble
Kwynsin lets go of the maiden as she staggers backwards and tucks the shiv back under his cloak, then heads for the exit.
Grundig starts lumbering forward towards the wounded woman.
Wymmahrr says: Oh no!
Gimikisa says: I heard someone shriek in pain
Brylas says: stop him!!
Ashtera turns towards the shriek and hears Amidison's command to the guard.
Hunor locks the door
Noumo shouts: Guards
Brylas says: he stabs the lady!
Wymmahrr says: There! He is moving to the door!
Gimikisa says: There by the bar
Amidison points to the fleeing party-goer.
Wymmahrr says: Poor woman
Noumo says: Lock the door!
Hunor shouts: "Point him out to Kra!"
Gimikisa says: Here hold pressure on the wound
Rerat's vines stop moving as she looses her consciousness, yet a faint aura of magic radiates from a medaillon on her neck as she does so.
Mugral says: Well now; this is likely to spoil evveryone else's appetite; shame
Tyfan calls the guard and points at the fallen parygoer
Grundig leans forward as best he can in the suit and starts casting. He is immediately surrounded byan intense white light, which moves forward and surrounds Rerat.
Gimikisa says: We need a healer
Brylas says: the one in front of you
Loopa says: Who did it to her?
Amidison points to Kwynsin.
Waoki shouts: A medic!
Brylas says: he did
Brylas points
Wymmahrr says: That klyros that was dancing with her
Kwynsin simply glares at the Kran.
Waoki shouts: Loss of blood, unconciousness.
Gimikisa says: I am putting pressure on the wound
Lytoza pulls a cloth from her bag and presses it over the wound a blood splatters on her gown
Akar starts growling at Kwynsin
Golan says: dear help the wounded
Hunor attempts to grab Kwynsin by the hand and force him on the ground
Gimikisa says: We need a healer, someone quick
Amidison says: I saw him do it, Guard Hunor. Deal it with it immediately.
Tyfan says: i suggest taking them to the hospital right away.
Kwynsin tries to pull free, but is thrown to the ground in the process.
Wymmahrr shouts: Is there a healer present?
Loopa says: Take his wing off
Brylas looks around
Noumo says: Might I be of help. I am a crystalway master
Hunor says: "This one here Lady Amidison?" points at Kwynsin
Wymmahrr says: Yes please try and help her
Tyfan kneels and tries to comfort the injured party.
Brylas says: yes he's the one
Loopa shouts: Are you sure music is the best thing now Paresan?
Gimikisa says: Here, look at the wound
Brylas nods
Tristeria nods to Golan, seeming stunned and shocked over what just happend, then walks over to Rerat, "I am a master healer as well."
Amidison nods, glaring at the klyros.
Grundig continues pouring healing energy into Rerat.
Amidison says: It is.
Wymmahrr says: Please help her
Gimikisa moves to the side to let the healer work
Rerat's wound starts to close as the healing energy enters her body, the bleeding ebbs as it does so.
Wymmahrr says: How is she?
Tyfan watches the skillful healing
Akar eyes Kwynsin warily and continues growling softly
Hunor starts pushing Kwynsin out while firmly folding him
Wymmahrr holds Gimikisa close
Brylas says: carfull, I think he still has the knife
Mugral says: Now we can safely call this a MAD Ball
Wymmahrr says: Are you alright? Not scared too much?
Gimikisa tears falling down mask hugs the maulbernaut close
Kwynsin is dragged out the door.
Wymmahrr says: OH my Sweet
Wymmahrr holds her tenderly and tightly
Gimikisa says: Oh, love, I am getting blood on your beautiful costume
Wymmahrr says: Never mind the costume
Wymmahrr rubs Gimikisa over her back
Tristeria looks Rerat over, gazing at Grundig, then concentrates on her crystal magic. She starts to channel her healing magic into the wound too.
Loopa says: this table will need repair
Rerat blinks a few times as she regains consciousness, she breathes very slowly and appears to be quite exhausted. Blood is all over the floor and her costume.
Brylas says: who was he? anyone know?
Akar shakes his head slowly
Gimikisa says: Will she be all right?
Wymmahrr says: I think so Sweet.
Ashtera shrugs as he watches the guard drag the Klyros out, "Be happy we are in Hydlaa. Had this been held in Ojaveda knifes would have been more prominent than people, I'm afraid."
Wymmahrr says: Her eyes are opening and she is breathing
Tyfan sighs with relief
Amidison turns back to the gathering and begins to whisper to her colleague.
