happy holidays { open }
I. Arrival
There were postings around town, and fliers going out around the end of November. The holiday party starts early evening, December 1, thanks to the help of several hands. They had worked for a couple of days prior to the start to get the large ballroom decorated to everyone's liking. He had rented out a large ballroom, and started decorating the day before, adding finishing touches early on the day of. Everyone was invited - and while there's no real dress code posted, everyone is invited to dress their best for the sake of the party.
When one approaches the building, there's a clear set of rules posted outside written in neat script:
There's only a few easy rules to ensure everyone enjoys their night:
One, no fighting - if you have to - please take it outside.
Two, no weapons on the premises.
Three, all children under the age of sixteen must leave before nine in the evening.
Welcome in. Grab a mask if you want - or don't - and join the party.

II. Welcome In
When walking through the entrance, the first thing that is easy to notice is how it is decorated. It has the colors of the holidays - red, green, blue, white. It’s mostly deeper shades with pops of brighter shades of the color. On the right of the entryway there is a table with a dark blue cloth over it. On top of it is a wide array of masks - different styles, shapes, sizes. Whatever their heart may desire, you can find here. Masks are, of course, optional! But who doesn’t love a great masquerade?
Above it is a sign that says Yours to Keep - so they may keep whatever masks they pick up.
Next to it is a large book with lined paper where people can drop a short message about the winter holiday they celebrate at home - their favorite part, how they celebrate, anything they'd like to share with other people! This will be picked up at the end of the party.
Not much further ahead is a dancefloor to the left - spacious as ever. To the right is catering - set up as an elaborate display of food and tables arranged so people can sit and eat. There’s food from a variety of places, including Golden Silence. They’ll find not only savory foods, but sweet desserts. In the back corner, not far from the food is a bartender, who is happily serving free drinks for anyone of drinking age.
Past the bar is a hallway with a couple of private rooms. These rooms are quiet - with none of the noise of the party being able to reach them. They're perfect for stepping away from the party for just a few moments of peace and quiet. In this rooms, there's decks of cards and a few simple board games. Each room can hold up to four people and can be locked from the inside.
Don't worry - there's signs posted everywhere so they'll will be able to find what they're looking for.

III. With So Much To Do
A. Dance the Night Away
The music at the party is provided by a variety of individuals. Various talents have been invited through the night, even! If no one is set to perform, there's a playlist set to play. The music goes on non-stop and the styles that will be played will vary. Most of the songs will be fairly upbeat through the night. Some of them are slower paced - so pick a partner and dance.
B. Mistletoe
Throughout the venue there's going to be mistletoe set up in a few spots throughout the building. The spots they're hanging are easy to identify. Most doorways have mistletoe hanging from them. There's also a few prime spots where there's some hanging - such as the corner not far from the bar. It's a perfect place to steal a kiss.
B. Charity Raffle
Near the food, there's a sign directing people to participate and purchase tickets for the charity raffle for a few prizes for people. There's donations (or things purchased) from a few businesses around Camelot. All funds raised from the Charity will go towards helping everyone who lost things during the events with Celliwig/Lestari. There's a variety of things: brunch for two, a date package, opportunities to learn a new skill, and other experiences. Several prizes will be raffled off, and people may purchase as many tickets as they want.
IV. Late at Night
After 9 in the evening, the entire feeling of the party changes. The lights get lower and glowsticks become available just off of the dance floor where they weren't earlier in the night. The music remains upbeat, though there's no performers for this part of the evening - only a playlist cycling through a variety of songs. This is a perfect time to grab a partner for a dance, or grab a drink. There's no real end of the night in sight, people are welcome to stay as long they'd like - even into the next morning if they should want.
Just be sure they're out by lunch the next day when clean-up starts.

Some quick ooc notes:
Waltz in the Moonlight
Of course Ritsuka makes her way over the moment she catches sight of Mash. She's also dressed up, though nothing hugely flashy or anything. The main difference is that without the glamors and other cosmetic spells that Da Vinci has tucked into her clothes, Ritsuka's scars would be on display--so she's got tights and longer gloves added to the ensemble. There's still some visible in the gap between her shoulder and elbow, but at least it's not as bad!
But for now, she's ignoring any potential embarrassment for the sake of approaching a friend. ]
Hey. Party getting a little much for you?
[ Unspoken, under that: if it is, and you need an excuse to leave, I'll help you have one. ]
no subject
The implication in her senpai’s words isn’t lost on her and she smiles softly, reassuringly, in response.]
Oh, maybe a little, but that’s part of the experience, right? [She says as though she’d ever been to a party like this before.] Even this down time is enjoyable. I like watching everyone else.
no subject
[ She does a half-twirl, which puts her shoulder-to-shoulder with Mash, looking out at the festivities. ]
But you know, part of the experience is also being part of it. Would you want to give that a shot? ...alternatively, there's a pretty good spread going on. No one's gonna look at you funny if you just wanna raid the table for snacks.
no subject
[It was almost funny how casual Ritsuka was about it compared to all the pomp and formality that often went along with asking someone to dance in classic literature. That natural ease of conversation was perhaps one of her best qualities. Mash gives a soft breath of a laugh, belying the butterflies stirred up in her stomach at the prospect.]
I'd be happy to.
no subject
[ On the other hand--really, when has Ritsuka ever really known what she's doing? She's always been someone who prefers to just jump in and see how she finds her balance.
And at Mash's agreement, Ritsuka pulls away from the wall. It's too bad she's wearing a dress, she thinks briefly, but nor does she let that stop her; she bows low, one hand to her chest and her other extended. Maybe she's not really a prince--maybe it's just copying what she's seen the other Round Table knights do--but it's not a bad facsimile. She's always been good at following examples. ]
May I have this dance?
no subject
Of course. I don’t mind at all.
[Indeed, that was rather par for the course, wasn’t it? Things would have to go pretty darn disastrously to ruin this moment for her and the idea of it doesn’t even cross her mind. This was like a dream.]
no subject
[ She's at least actually danced with someone before! Two someones. And honestly, she expects Mash to be a lot more forgiving of any clumsiness on her part versus either of the Alters. For someone who'd gone out of her way to orchestrate time and space for them to dance, Jeanne Alter in particular had been mysteriously ("""mysteriously""") grouchy about the whole ordeal.
But she squeezes Mash's hand gently, in what she hopes is an encouraging gesture, then tugs to lead her out to the dance floor proper. ]
I got Marie to show me some of the basic steps. But if you know how to lead, I don't mind following.
