Masquerade for All Hallows' Eve

The Masquerade: OOC Thread

The Masquerade: Ballroom

The Masquerade: Gardens

The Masquerade: Profile Thread <-- Put your profile there, even if you've already posted it here...thanks!

We are having a masquerade for Halloween! Everyone get excited! It will start on Halloween, but can continue for as long as we want. We can have stories, or PWP. Orgies, or individual romantic pairs. It's up to you!

I definitely intend for this to be a fairly PWP party, with random hookups and orgies, but PLEASE be able to write with decent grammar. As this is a temporary thing, length isn't incredibly important, but a small paragraph (or more) for each post makes everyone happy. Thankies!



Setting and Information

Time Period: Modern
Will Start: Midnight, October 31st, 2009.
Will End: Whenever it does.
Theme: Halloween Masquerade, but can keep the general Masquerade theme to keep the holiday theme from getting old.
Location:

A French Chateau, owned by a wealthy and mysterious owner. (I would have set it in Venice, but I have bad memories from there...and the Opera Garnier in Paris is too predictable for those who know me...lol)



(will look up interior pictures soon)

[Chloe Milev]

Yeah, there was another one I joined that didn't really seem to take off, but I'd be willing to try it again.

[Clio]

Cool! We could start it whenever we get around 5 people or more, and then it can continue as long as people are active.

[senshi32]

hmmm, interesting, if it was modern

[Hart]

Sure, I'd like to join. Sounds good.

hmmm, interesting, if it was modern

^ Agreed.. but then I don't mind if it's not...

[Clio]

It can be modern.

Cool. Thanks!

[Esoteric Myobi]

I do love Masquerade Balls =) If this is still going on then I'd definitely join if you'd have me ^^

Of course! I still need more members if we're going to do this, but hopefully we'll get a few.

[Mr Self Destruct]

I'm interested hon. :) 

[Clio]

I'm interested hon. :)

Yayness!

[Esoteric Myobi]

-Goes off to convince a few friends to join in as well- x3!

[Clio]

-Goes off to convince a few friends to join in as well- x3!

I luffles you!



That is fo' chuu!

Wow...I really need to sleep before I continue speaking like that. Lol..

[Esoteric Myobi]

Amagawddd cookiee!!

-gobbles cookie down happily-

[Clio]

Hai'iro Karasu has shown interest! And there was much rejoicing!

Wow. I seriously use exclamation marks like crack at 3 in the morning...*shakes head*

Anyway, if you guys could possibly give me a brief rundown of the character you'll play, that would be great. No big profile, just enough to know if we can have something for everyone.

For example, I'll play my typical predictable character:

Name: Alison McGinn
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Straight, but open to females.
Anything else?: Likes to be a sub, but can be a switch.

[Kunoichi]

Huh.  My was right, this really does look interesting...

^^; I'm about to go to bed now, though, so I'll have a character by the time I get on tomorrow.

[Clio]

Huh.  My was right, this really does look interesting...

^^; I'm about to go to bed now, though, so I'll have a character by the time I get on tomorrow.

I think I've said 'yay' too much tonight, so I'll just say...woohoo!

The character 'profile' isn't that important. This is going to be rather casual, but I figure it might make it easier to at least get a basic idea of what kind of guests will there.

[Tyranister]

Mind if I join in Christa?  *shuffles feet and looks around*

Name: Tyler
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Too straight
Anything else?: Can't drink, interesting in meeting people, and admittedly interested in blowing ladies' minds.

(Tyler isn't real name, an alibi I like to use though =P Here's to hoping this kicks off tomorrow or later this week!)

I'm hoping to get it up by Halloween, which should give everyone time. Thanks for joining! *kisses*

[Rhapsody]

Looks pretty interesting.  I don't think I've ever participated in an RP like this one before.

[Rachubka]

Je suis interested! I will put up a sort bio later. Just... kinda tired right now. lo

[LilyPetalLips]

I'm in.

Name: Isla
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexual orientation: Bi-curious.
Anything else?: Anthropology major in university (fascinated by observing people).  In to light BDSM.  Not a virgin.  Attempts to be more cultured/cool than she feels.

[Raveled]

Hm.  As a Masquerade Ball, is this going to be some highly formal affair, or is that just a name?  Is this some friends getting together for some fun on Halloween and it turns into something else?

[Esoteric Myobi]

Name: Maya
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Bi
Anything else?: A curious person overall, she's always open to new things. Meeting others and making new acquaintances who will hopefully become friends in the future is the main goal of her joining the party. That as well as to just simply have fun this holiday =)

[Clio]

I don't mind a previous story if some of you want to cook one up, but fir the main storyline, I was planning for it to be a rather formal affair, with a bunch of strangers. You can make up some reason for your character to be invited. Does that make sense? I'll update the list and info tonight after class.

[Primarch]

Colour me interested!

Name: Duke Van Damme
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Straight.
Anything else?: Duke is his name, as opposed to a title. Thinks he's the bee's knees because he's a successful little business tycoon.

[Raveled]

Name: Conner Davis
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Anything else?: Dom, rumored to have private dungeons.

[Risa]

Hm...it sounds interesting, and I haven't been part of a large group game for a while.  I'll give it a go.

Name: Chisame Henderson
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Lesbian
Anything else?: A switch, though often leads towards domme. Also doesn't like to do anything with women in public, preferring not to give "shows". Shows up to the Masquerade wearing an all-black costume and a Zorro mask.

[Rhapsody]

Name: Mikaela Watson
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Straight-ish.
Anything else?: Sexually curious.

[Clio]

Yay! Now, if you guys need help finding costumes, let me know. Now, this isn't just a costume party. You don't have to "be" anything, and I'd rather not have the cheap ad slurry Halloween shops outfits. I mean, I know the basic point is sex, but I'd like everyone to have a classy outfit and beautiful mask. You know, elegant and as elaborate as you want. 


...........although it will likely come off. *winks*

[sinera]

OOhhh - can I get in on this, or are there too many females?

Name: Cynthia Jameson
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Bi-curious
Anything Else: Has a strong personality, but has shown sub tendencies in sexual situations. Hasn't had any experience with women, but wonders what it's like.

My Gown:


Haven't found my mask yet :(

[Rhapsody]

I personally plan on showing up in this getup. :)

[Risa]

Would you like us to post pictures of our costumes, Christina? What I have in mind for Chisame shouldn't be too difficult...

[NekoBoy89]

I would be interested...but there are no gay guys in the rp. XD So not sure I would fit into it.

[Cassiopeia]

I'd definitely be interested ^_^  Just hope there aren't too many girls already :P

Name: Annika McGuire
Age: 21
Gender: female
Sexual Orientation: mostly straight
Anything Else:  Annika is adventurous and fun loving, outgoing for the most part.  She's a free lance artist who likes to be inspired by life.  She tends to be a switch.

*goes of to look for the perfect costume with great excitement*

[Kunoichi]

Name: Katherine Halston
Age: 28
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Anything else?: Friendly and outgoing, Katherine's main reason for attending the masquerade is that her parents want her to find someone nice and settle down.  She, on the other hand, just wants to have fun at the party and make new friends, without having to worry about what her parents think of her.

[DigitLninja]

Name: Tenebrae
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Straight.
Anything else?: A quiet person who seems to be more interested in being seen than having fun.

[Esoteric Myobi]

Hm...I was thinking of using these if they're acceptable..
Gown
Mask

[Primarch]

OOhhh - can I get in on this, or are there too many females?

There is never too many females!  ;D Go ahead, fight over the precious resource that is man. ^.^

[Esoteric Myobi]

Are you sure you can handle all of us? ;)

[Kunoichi]

Well, if there do wind up being too many of us, I suppose we could find other ways to entertain ourselves...

[Primarch]

Are you sure you can handle all of us? ;)

*hordes supplies of Viagra*

maybe.....

[Cassiopeia]

Oh .. we may need to test your metal ..

[Esoteric Myobi]

Us girls can keep ourselves occupied x3

But if there really is a demand for more males then I'm more than happy to play a male character =)

[Primarch]

No no, that's okay. <.< All teh ladies.

[Esoteric Myobi]

Seems like someone needs to learn to share >.>;

[Primarch]

Always sharing, never shared. <.<

[Kunoichi]

Well, this seems like it's going to be fun. ^^

*has already found a nice image to use as a reference when describing her character*

[Kunoichi]

*fixes Digit's tags*

Mask

Suit

[DigitLninja]

Thanks Kuno, I don't know what went wrong....

[Kunoichi]

You forgot to close the opening tags. ^^;

[DigitLninja]

yeah I saw that, but when I corrected it that tripped the link for some reason...

[Kunoichi]

Huh.  Did you have any text between the url tags to act as the actual link?

[DigitLninja]

I have no idea...

[Kunoichi]

Ah well.  Anyway, for my character, I think I'll be trying something in red...

[Esoteric Myobi]

Hehe, I had actually had my eye on a red dress as well but decided on black for Halloween x3 Then again, both my favorite colors so either or~

-likes Kuno's costume though-

[Kunoichi]

Thanks, My, yours looks quite well, too. ^^

Of course, even if a picture's worth a thousand words, I get the feeling that this is the kind of place where the thousand words would be preferred...

[Esoteric Myobi]

Bring on the thousands of words! ;D

[Cassiopeia]

Alright, I've got my ensemble together, as long as it's approved -

Okay, i was having way too much fun "shopping" for this shindig! :P

[Mr Self Destruct]

Name: Alexander Daniels
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Anything Else? A huge fan of the Phantom of the Opera (the performance piece; he finds the movies laughable), he comes dressed as The Mask of the Red Death.

*steals Alexander for herself, then releases him and tries to be mature as she clears her throat*

Umm...anyway!

Can I just say that I LOVE all of you SO much! *kisses everyone*

And I say that girls can keep coming, as many of our characters are marked as bi-curious anyway. And Neko, I hope that another gay man shows up, as I'd love for you to be a part! I'm willing to play a man, but I'd be horrible as a homosexual one...I'm so sorry.

Anyway, sorry I've been so absent, but Tuesdays are REALLY busy, and I fell asleep last night before I was able to get on. *looks guilty* Anyhoo, I'm back today, and I'll be updating the list and making adjustments on posting everyone's characters and costumes and such. If you don't have a picture, that's fine, but I would appreciate a description at least to make sure it fits the overall feel of the game and such. So far, all the costumes are approved and amazing. *smiles*

I just want to make sure we don't end up with everyone coming in something like this. I mean, yes, it's a masquerade. And yes, it's pretty...but it's trashy. I'd rather not have trashy. Or something stupid like this. Lol...if you guys are having trouble with finding a costume or mask, let me know.

So, now I shall search for my own costume, and consider who shall be the owner of the mansion. Since we seem to be short on men, I'm thinking that I could play the mysterious male owner to help even things out. Any other ideas?

And btw...I'm SO excited! For now the start time is still 11:59 on October 31st, EST. If there is a problem, then let me know, but I figure this might drag on for a while (hopefully!) so even if you can't post immediately, no worries. And if we've already started, more characters are free to join.

*sits and remains excited*

Everything is beautiful, although the mask is showing up as bandwidth theft. Perhaps you should save it and then host it on Photobucket or Imageshack?

[Clio]

Hmm...since there are over 10 people interested now, should I put a Profile thread up in the forum? And possibly an OOC? I'm not sure...

Also, I figured I'd put this in NC: Small Groups, as that way NC is covered, even if it doesn't happen. I don't mind going extreme, but I'll keep it non-extreme for now, as more people will be comfortable that way.

Any thoughts? What threads should I make?

[precious]

Fixed it!   

When will the game open, and how long do you intend it to last?  I think an OOC thread is really helpful, tbh.  :) 

I'm excited, haha. :D

[Kunoichi]

NC: Small Groups sounds about right to me, and getting up a profile thread and OOC should help keep the chatter out of this thread. ^^;

[Clio]

Okee...will do!

[Clio]

I come bearing gifts:

The Profile Thread

The OOC Thread

So now we can move all our chatting and questions to the OOC, and if you guys could re-post your bios in the Profile thread, that would be marvelous. *kisses*

[rahatngt]

Can I join still Christa?
I might need a little bit of help with the costumes. Any way if you are happy with me joining I will try to find something tomorrow morning .. a tad busy at the moment thats why I didn't post in the thread before even though I was interested.

[Clio]

Sure! I'd love for you to join. We need all the people we can get! And yes, I'll help you. Just PM me what your basic idea is, and I'll assist.

[Hart]

EDIT: Just noticed the Profile thread!!! Posting this there as well!

Name: Aidan
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Anything else?: A weakness for pretty, young women? Dominant mainly...

Suit & Mask

PS: Sorry for the late RSVP!
PPS: Can I get an opinion on the mask? Masculine enough? I.e. Not a girl's masque? Just a nagging doubt...  ;D

[Cassiopeia]

I quite like the mask!  I think it's masculine enough, most girl masks are quite ... floofy .... I suppose that's not really a word but that's what they are :P  If it's bugging you though you can always check out a few more options, I don't think it's something you have to worry about though!

[Hart]

If it's bugging you though you can always check out a few more options.

Cheers! That's fine, just one of my random moments of madness and uncertainty. Also fits my charrie, cause I'm planning on making him a muso ;D

Thanks again!
