Masquerade, Masquerade (Halloween Ball, Open to all students and staff)

It was that time of year again time for the annual halloween ball and well this year's theme was a Masquerade. Nate walked down to the great hall and smiled slightly as he noticed how it was decked out. well he hoped that this was going to go smoothly he really didn't want anything to be messed up tonight. So far it seemed like the students would enjoy themselves, there was a chocolate fountain and punch set up in one corner the rest of the hall was filled orange and black decorations and a few tricks set up by the school's ghosts. "Well let's get this ball started!" Nate thought out loud as he slipped his mask over his face.

James entered the Great Hall wearing a red mask. He honestly had no clue if Azazel would be able to come due to tasks he's forced to do. At least he had his relatives if anything to hang out with. Looking around, he wondered if he could spot someone familiar.

Waking into the Great Hall, Narkissos wore a generic plastic masquerade mask. He didn't really feel like putting in any real effort to his outfit. If anything, he just put on some random black mini-dress and called it a day. Narkissos looked around hoping Kylo would come soon.

Masquerade ball wasn't really anything very special for Cassiopeia. Dressing up for some fancy party could be annoying but she still decided to attend. Her did found herself a pretty dress and even mask to go with it. Since she knew heels will make her legs hurt later she decided to go with flats today. She walked into the great hall her mask on already. She looked around and wondered what she should to do here now. She had no idea who was here really because of these masks.

Cassiopeia's Outfit

Cherry was quite excited for the masquerade ball. If she had to be honest, she hoped that Apollo might be liked better by others at the ball, especially since they wouldn't  be able to recognize him except through his hair. Of course, that'd be if he did decide to go. The Ravenclaw hoped that he'd go though. She entered the Great Hall and observed her surroundings.

Alayna decided to take her time getting ready, Azalea helping her as they went along the usual ball process. With a few kisses here and there. It was no lie, or secret that the two of them occasionally had some fun together. Alayna parted with Azalea, going into her bathroom to change and take a moment to compose herself. Her hair was curled, the raven waves cascading down her back and her make up was simple, but sexy all the same. Not taking a glance at her body, she instead placed on her mask before taking a glance at her body in the dress. She was pleasantly surprised, but knew her father would have a fit if he recognised her. She left the bathroom, kissing Azalea's cheek and told her that she'd meet her down there and made her way into the great hall.

Azalea smiled at Alayna, having done her make up and hair before doing her own whilst her friend was in the bathroom. Staring at her friend's body in appreciation, she kissed her goodbye and began to get ready. It took a bit of a squeeze but it was all worth it in the end. She ran her hands down her sides and beamed a grin, enjoying the feel of her dress against her fingers. As she wandered down to the Great Hall, she placed on her mask and linked arms with Alayna almost instantly. "Hello darling." She purred into her friend's ear and they wandered over to the drinks table, making sure to put a bit of a sway into their hips to attract the men.

Spying Alayna and Azalea, Narkissos approached them. "Hey, girls!" he greeted to a few of his friends. "Do you guys know what Cernu's up to? He hadn't been replying to my texts about whether or not he's coming to the ball going on right now." He would be rather surprised if Cernunnos ended up not going to the ball at all.

Azalea beamed at the sight of Narkissos, not surprised that he knew who they were. It wasn't like they exactly tried to hide it. "Hey baby!" She said, leaning up to kiss his cheek and then frowned at his question. "Shit, no...I texted him before I left the dorm room, ya know to show him my outfit but I don't think I got a reply." She quickly put her hand into her cleavage, checking if she had or not and frowned at the lack of it. "When was the last time you saw him? Should we go back to the Common Room?" She said, scrolling through her contacts to find him and rested her phone against her cheek, listening to annoying beep as it dialled Cernunnos. "I wanna get drunk. Boo better pick up because he's my drinking partner and I ain't doing that shit alone."

"I know he said something about seeing his boyfriend today, but I thought it'd be more of a during the morning thing, you feel? Because when he gets ready for balls, he fucking gets ready," Narkissos responded. "Think I last saw him in the common room around noon? I don't know where he might be now though. I swear parties and stuff tend to be fun when Cernu's around."

Azalea pouted when she got no answer and put her phone back into her cleavage with a sigh. "He better hurry up. Some of these people are far too boring and I can't deal with a party without Cernu. It just doesn't seem right." She mused sadly and Alayna nodded, looking around for him just in case he showed up. "I swear I'll ruin his clothes if he doesn't come at all." Azalea threatened, crossing her arms in front of her chest.

Felix entered the great hall, looking around a bit. He found a mask he had lying around. He doesn't exactly know where it came from, but it was good none the less. He just felt it was a bit too in character, especially for his liking. He brushed that off pretty quickly though, it just meant he could fit in in the masquerade. He looked around, and saw some people he knew. They seemed to be enjoying themselves, though he wasn't listening to any conversation. He wanted to jump into a conversation, but decided to wait for some more people to show up. Then he saw cherry. He walked over to her, and tried to strike up a conversation. "Yo darling, how's the party treating you?" He started asking. "I'm hopeful to take part of it, that way the only question would be, why?" Felix went for a round about joke, she probably wouldn't get it. He looked at her just in case.

Cherry looked over at Felix and gave a smile. "Hey, Felix" she exclaimed She was still wondering if Apollo would come; it'd be rather nice to spend the nice with him after all. She raised an eyebrow listening to whatever Felix was saying. "Well, I'm hoping that Apollo would come to the ball."

Felix was happy to see her wanting to help Apollo, Felix hadn't really talked with him yet. He thought that today may be a good day to introduce himself, the one thing that made it awkward was the mask. "That's nice of you Darling," Felix adjusted his hat, "maybe I could talk with him today?" He put a hand on his mask and adjusted the positioning a little bit. "What do you think of the mask?" Felix asked, pointing at it as it was on his face. "Look good? Wait, do you think this would startle Apollo, I wouldn't want to freak him out." Felix scratched the back of his head, and looked around.

McKenna walked into the ballroom in a short red dress that hugged her curves. She had a red and gold mask on hiding her face but her ears were a dead give away of who she was. She walked over to the bar and got a firewhiskey and sent a wink to a few guys.  She smiled as she heard felxs voice and walked over to him "hey venox"

Mackenzie smoothed out her emerald green dress and entered the room. Her silver heels clicked along the floor as she approached her friends. She smiled as she joined Abeline. Abeline was wearing a silver gown that reached her ankles and Athena was wearing a blue dress that proofed out at the waist.

Mackenzies outfit:

Abeline walked in with Apollo and smiled up at her friend. She was wearing a black and white dress that flattered her body very well. She saw her friend calix who was wearing a purple princess gown and she smiled a her kitty eared friend "hey calix" she said as she dragged Apollo over to her.

"Apollo tends to be very shy," she replied. "So, at the moment, i guess I'm sorta the only one that he's completely comfortable with." Cherry had no clue as to how Apollo would cope with the concept of masquerades. "I don't know if he'd be reassured if he saw that everyone's wearing masks or not."

Felix was a little disappointed, but he understood. "That makes sense," He shrugged, "I suppose I'll just leave Apollo to you for now." Felix looked around and put his hand on his mask. It wasn't common that he wore masks, so he had to adjust to that.

Felix heard a familiar voice call his last name, and looked towards it. It was quite easy to spot her in her outfit, he returned the greeting. "Yo Rivers," He waved calmly, "what do you think of the fox mask? Also, don't question the lack of body uniform. I'm lucky enough to have this mask as it is." He pointed at the mask and tapped it a little bit. Felix wasn't lying about one thing for sure, he was very lucky to have his mask. Though it being here was still very strange, yet in a good way. He couldn't quite put his finger on it.

McKenna smiled softly at her friend and secret crush "you look quite handsome" his mask was still a bit crooked. She reached out a delicate hand and fixed it before looking into his eyes and smiling "much better" she said before fixing her own mask.
 Just then Scarlett entered the ballroom in a sequined black princess gown and had a tiara in her fiery red hair. She smiled at her sister Emilie who stood beside her in a ruby red gown and gold heels. Both girls moved to the snack table and chewed on veggies

Vanessa walked in wearing a deep dark blue dress and had her hair down in curls. She looked around and smiled when she saw garrison. She walked over to him and began chatting

Vanessas outfit:

Atticus decided to go and check the ball out even if he wasn't sure if he will stay there until at the end. Usually these things became boring for him. Anyways he had mask on his face and he had no idea if anyone could recognize him or not. He walked into the great hall and looked around.

Narkissos looked around as he quickly grabbed a cup of punch and proceeded to spike it with vodka. "Shit, thinking about whether or not he'll even come is making me want to drink." He then glanced over at Azalea and Alayna. "If anything, we could knock down a 7/11 whatever that is."

Alberich had decided it'd be a good idea to chaperone the ball. It was his first one at this school anyway, and it's help him get an idea as to how the students interact for when he decides to put them in groups during class. He gave a small smile as she looked around the Great Hall seeing the students congregate.

Walking into the Great Hall, Hugo looked around to see if he could spot any relatives. Once he saw who he could assume was Rose, he walked up to her. "Hey, sis," he greeted hoping his assumption was correct.

Rose had came in a little bit before her brother had came to talk with her. She was surprised about it. She could tell it by his voice right now for sure. "Hey, Hugo," she said there back now with a small smile on her face. At least it was someone to whom to talk for awhile.
Rose's Outfit

Cassiopeia walked over the snack table and began to eat from there few strawberries what she found on that table. She loved these things actually. She hoped that she would soon found someone to talk or she will just ditch this ball soon.

To be honest, with his height, Josh probably wouldn't be that hard to figure out. But regardless, the blonde would pull on a mask and walk through the Great Hall, figuring a few drinks couldn't hurt. It'd be nice if he found people he recognized, but, well... They were all wearing masks, no? How could he know for sure?

Mackenzie saw a man walk in and smiled softly. She knew right away who it was. She walked over to him and smirked "hey there dragon" she said smiling. She knew her voice would give her away but she didn't care

For the past couple weeks Maddie had been dreading the thought of the ball, and nor did she desire want to have any reason to look nice at the ball. Then again the fifteen year old had thoughts that she was not going to let her pregnancy stop her. Soon then realizing it was just her. Leaving her to soon walk down the corridor to the great hall as she let out a smirk, this was going to be her night of fun.

Maddie arrived at the great hall and she let out a smirk as she entered it in a dance gown with lace, a pair of white high heels, she had quite a bit of jewelry, and some makeup. . Madison had soon realized that she was supposed to meet her brother and she soon looked and she called out.

" Gaston! Where the hell are you? " she said since she was not in a good mood, and if she could she would find something to do besides spending all her time and she soon turned to see her sister Autumn was observing the dance and she sighed.

" Have to somehow manage to socialize tonight. " sighed Maddie as she soon looked around with her arms crossed.
