Going straight to the castle

[boughtstockinsocks]

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! (adapted from a meme by sockle)

[annarr]

["come out for drinks" = "come be messy at a party" y/n also would she make him dance]

Eren Jaeger | Attack on Titan | ota

[abandonhumanity]

((ooc: I'm thinking some sort of AU where this would make sense - kinda looking less for dramatic prompts; m/m or m/f is fine))

7 ??? we just winging tf outta this wild ass au

[enteloki]

[The first time he saw those streaks of black was through a wine tinted glass across the room. Small sips. Not enough to be inebriated or fuzzy with an alcoholic haze. Enough to blend in, feign joviality and belonging.

The second time he saw him was through that same wine tinted glass, but the liquid was long gone and those slicked down black streaks were closer to his table. Maybe looking for the host - not him, but his employer. A politician a few tables over, earning favors and making bonds soaked in blood.]

If you're looking to meet Shido, he'll be busy for some time.

[An offhand comment to a lingering entity. He stays seated in his chair, hunched over the table to pluck at small appetizers in dazzling plates. His only purpose here is to be a silent watcher - a guard dog to paraded to those willing to sell their soul for power. For a debt.]

Forgive me for saying this, but you don't look like his normal clientele.

sephiroth ( ffvii: ever crisis )

[aonibi]

[ some sort of fancy shinra thing where they want to show him off, maybe??? ]

Aemond Targaryen | House of the Dragon

[darotisentys]

[The ultimate wallflower.]

Felix {Tav} || Baldur's Gate 3

[lucky_strikes]

{{There's a decent chance she's gate-crashing but she's certainly dressed the part and having a great time.}}

Shigure | Fire Emblem: Fates & Heroes | OTA

[shigure]

[He's not unfamiliar with these sorts of gatherings. Doesn't mean he's a big fan of them, though.]

wriothesley | genshin impact | ota

[trounce]

[ he's the duke (of the north lmao) so he's expected to attend and entertain a handful of grand fontainian events, surely. 🕺 ]

[solsankta]

[ she feels dreadfully awkward and trying very hard not to make a misstep. ]

[darotisentys]

[He leans over to murmur quietly:]

You look as nervous as I am bored.

Stolas | Helluva Boss | OTA, m/m for any shipping

[ornithomancy]

[ Generally speaking? He hates these. Rescue him ]

Asano Rin | Blade of the Immortal | OTA

[revengeisalie]

[ Maybe a fun AU where she went abroad and is hanging out in Europe somewhere? Canon takes place in the late 18th century. ]

nina zenik - shadow and bone - ota

[callmedeath]

[ is she at the food table? absolutely. ]

Cassandra de Rolo | Critical Role

[ofwovenstone]

[She's very good at looking like she's comfortable (and of course she knows all the ins and outs of attending a fancy ball; including dancing) but she also tends to stick to the edges doing her best to go unnoticed. Canon, crosscanon, AUs, assumed CR, I'm here for all of it.]

Margo Lane | The Shadow (film)

[likereadingabook]

[She's always dressed to the nines and looks like she belongs. She's the MOST voice-testy, please be gentle.]
