FANCY BALL MEME


Time to go to the ball! Early or late, the food is exquisite, the music is an endless dream and the tide of taffeta creates the most wonderful wave around you. Are you here to find true love, to steal, to impress, to dance, or just for the incredible food? Perhaps you'll meet "the One"!

RULES
• Leave a comment with your character's name and fandom.
RNG for a number between 1-10 to get your options. Mix and match!
• Have fun!
SCENARIOS

001 DANCING | One person asks another to dance.
002 MINGLING |
Chatting in one of the lavish rooms or in the gardens.
003 INTRIGUE |
You're not here to while the night away. Heists, assassinations, kidnappings, political backstabbing...your purpose tangoes with the more sinister.
004 LOST |
The castle is huge! One person is lost, the other knows where the ball is.
005 MIDNIGHT | The clock has struck, your clothes have turned to rags!
006 KEEPSAKE |
It might not be a glass slipper but someone has lost something and you're here to return it.
007 HOSTING |
Ugh. Why are you doing this again? Oh. Yeah, your family, kingdom, or business is hosting the whole affair.
008 LIVERIED |
Ball? You're here to work! Who else is going to clean up the sick on those rose bushes? Tsk.
009 MASQUERADE | A party with extra mystery. Remove the mask if you're feeling daring.
010 WILD CARD | Choose your own type of encounter!

To be honest, Dorian had been a bit surprised when the older noble had asked him to dance. He remained skeptical as they stepped onto the dance floor, and even though he couldn’t help shivering a little as the older man leaned in close, hyper aware of the hand on his lower back, he couldn’t help feeling rather intrigued as the man spoke.

He followed Percy’s steps easily enough, familiar with the dance. As Percy dipped him, he glanced at the crowd, as if looking for the people Percy mentioned.

And while Percy’s description made him frown, he remained ever curious.

“That depends,” he finally answered, trying to keep a cool head. “What exactly are you expecting from me, and what are you willing to give me for it?”
