this is going to be a fucking disaster.[break][break]

absinthe doesn't like to dance, if only because there has never been anyone besides cole to dance with. dancing, once meant as a gift for the love of her life, has now turned cruel and mocking. every step feels traitorous; even the thought of dancing makes the burns on her face flame anew. each subtle glance in the mirror shows a horrific beast that no one would want to see up close.[break][break]

her avoidance, apparently, has not made her good at hiding her lack of skill. evelyn's touch ignites the fuses beneath absinthe's skin, flames heating at the tips of her nerves. she takes a shaky breath, draining her own glass before setting it down next to evelyn's. a cruel look lingers in her gaze: even as her pulse rushes, she manages to still look absolutely peeved.[break][break]

it's hard to determine if it's because evelyn dared suggest she doesn't already enjoy herself enough or because absinthe hates parties so much she doesn't have fun.[break][break]

she barely manages to stifle a hiss, even as she curls her fingers into evelyn's palm.[break][break]

"you've clearly never seen me dance before," absinthe says finally, flat. "i'm a chemist, not a... court jester."[break][break]

her lack of enthusiasm, though perfectly visible, only makes the whole situation more hilarious, really. discomfort in public? absinthe, despite it being ridiculous, borderline childish, even, can barely show her face—or put on a clean façade.[break][break]

evelyn makes her weak—keeps her honest and human. mirth, nervous and bursting, creeps between the poisonous, barbed wire gaps in her chest as they step out onto the floor. to actually let herself loose and get carried away by both music and company... it's uncharted territory, almost.[break][break]

especially given that absinthe is, genuinely, not a talented dancer. she trods on evelyn's foot on accident, and winces at the contact, rapidly trying to right her feet.[break][break]

"shit," she hisses, staring down at her traitorous heels. "sorry."



[break][break]

NOTES


- tldr: absinthe goes out onto the dance floor and starts dancing poorly with evelyn :D

event


[attr="class","textbox"]

Allegra arrives at Hollowcrest Hall with what can at best be called the fashionable sort of lateness, unaccompanied for the night. Oh, her beloved wife might well be in attendance too, but half the fun of a masquerade is in not quite knowing who you are speaking with. The other half, of course, is in the dance and the drinks. Allegra resolves to head for the latter first and loosen up before going to the ballroom. Although the atmosphere itself is already that of drunken revelry, with the distinct lack of human hosts and the feeling that things aren't quite as they seem.

[break][break]

Still... She's worn her share of figurative masks, but none quite so enchanting as this physical one, fashioned in ocean blues and gold. It matches her floor length, form-fitting mermaid gown in the same hues, and it is is made with artistry befitting the Fisk line; though she is no longer a member of the family and better off for it, it's also her right to reclaim what little good it's afforded her.

[break][break]

Speaking of storied lineages... Who cares if something is amiss with this mansion, anyway? All illustrious families, noble or otherwise, have their dirty secrets. If anything, Allegra is looking forward to concerning herself with the gossip and rumors surrounding a family other than her own, to being merely part of the audience. She isn't sure what the occasion to celebrate is, but that hardly matters.

[break][break]

Upon arriving at the bar and ordering a glass of champagne, she finds a lone stranger in a rather plain mask seated on a stool. He looks for all the world more miserable than any person at such an event should, even while masked. Allegra walks over without even a moment's hesitation.

[break][break]

"Good evening," she says, smiling one of her most charming smiles. "You look rather... fatigued, yet the night is still so very young. Could it be that you've already danced too much?"

they're not used to this sort of thing.
[break][break]
if eve had thought twice about it, they probably wouldn't have shown up at all. but here they were, fashionably late, and a feathered mask hiding their face. from what they can tell, the manor is already full- of a bunch of strangers, no less. and a ghost type that seems intent on making sure their mask is up to standard.
[break][break]
what is the standard? they don't know, themself, but the ghost pokemon seems to decide it's fine and leaves them to sweep into the room just beyond-and to make a beeline for the drinks. they're not sure they know anyone here, so they may as well enjoy it, right?
[break][break]
and if their nose crinkles when they realize how strong wine smells, at least the mask hides it.

Time to Feast



Amidst the lively dancing in the ballroom, where guests like and twirl across the floor, a sudden, piercing scream erupts from the dining room. The music halts abruptly, leaving an unsettling silence in its wake as everyone freezes, unsure of what to make of the sudden commotion. Just as curiosity starts to stir, the dining room doors creak open with an eerie force, revealing several ghost-type pokemon who eagerly beckon the guests inside.
[break][break]
Within the dining room, three grand tables are stationed with an abundance of food. Though the silverware and dishes are unmistakably old, the food is surprisingly fresh and inviting. Ghostly attendants hover around, pouring drinks and serving plates at the end of each table. Several guests quickly rush forward, eager to claim the finest selections from the tables before anyone else can.

For the clever observers, an interesting detail stands out; each table is themed after a specific berry. The designs of these berries are intricately woven into everything, from the plates with delicate painted borders to the utensils, where the berry motifs are etched into the metal. Each of the three tables presents a different berry theme, but the food offered on each is seemingly the same.
[break][break]
Below are the details of the three featured berries.

What do these berries have in common?

[attr="class","body"]she arrived in a papier-mâché face mask that had been left behind in her penthouse by one of the world’s foremost art collectors, sabine calcifet. her dress had come from the same royal taste, and though their memories were bittersweet, halloween was worth dusting off relics of the past.[break][break]

however, during the six years hoenn had been at war, celebrations had often become targets. the party would inevitably not end well – but exactly what kind of bomb was ticking down to midnight?[break][break]

she waded through guests, hearing familiar voices on her way to the bar. she eyed ’s flutter mane as he requested his boar doe, and ordered for herself, ”an anejo tequila. neat, please.”[break][break]

’s mention of rumors about the house perked her ears, and she realized the familiarity of . when a ghost returned with her own drink, she took it without a smile, attention remaining quietly on the conversation of those nearby – at least until the scream coming from the bolted-shut dining room.[break][break]

when tables of food were served, she lingered behind still.[break][break]


tldr:[break]
- orders a tequila at the bar, listens in on alba, aurelie and shred[break]
- wearing a classic venetian face mask and a nice dress (i find pics later)[break]

"Things are good," she answers honestly. "Been getting used to the, uh, hearing loss from Sootopolis." She gestures to an ear haphazardly. "Could've been worse, though. How are things on your end?" [break][break]

Ghost servants move in a flurry -- and then there are tables of food with themed berries. "Oh, this looks delicious." She swarms the aguav table and gestures for Silverio to follow. She coos at the sight of the snacks and picks one at random - something bitter. "Catered ghost event... can't get better than this, huh?" She wasn't one to look a gift ponyta in the mouth, anyhow. She didn't need to ask questions about the event when it offered free food. [break][break]

"Have you taken up the gym challenges here in Hoenn, by the way?" They'd talked once about his status before visiting Hoenn, and it had made her curious if he would put his battling skills to the test here.

"damn..."[break][break]

it undoubtedly sounds like she's been through the wringer. suffice to say that no amount of experience from their journeys within power spots together could remotely compare to the mayhem induced by a primal god of the seas. and yet, even now, he curses himself with thoughts of what he could've possibly done to help had he been there to witness its might firsthand. how have things been for him since then?[break][break]

"pretty much the same;" somewhat of a white lie as he treks behind her en route to the aguav table, his appetite dented. instead, he reaches for a glass for another of fill wine -- perhaps that isn't safe to consume on an empty stomach. ask silv he cares about that tedious tidbit right now, though. not to mention the ghosts...are there any people hosting this banquet!?[break][break]

"i haven't tried challenging the gyms yet; i do still plan to do that, as i have been brushing up on my battling...that aside, i've just been too busy with a bunch of other things: particularly training up some of the rookies..."[break][break]

memories of paldea's pokémon league begin to boil in the cauldron; suppose that his status as a paldean champion has not wavered despite being well far from home...

makoto's hesitation is a little cute, and honestly not all that dissimilar from how nikola might react if suddenly asked to dance by a stranger. well, they'd probably be more biting about it, but internally they'd be embarrassed. different coping mechanisms, they suppose.[break][break]

"not to worry," they say, feigning confidence. "i've only done this once or twice before. i took a history of dance class in university-- not that that really matters now." it had been one of those electives they'd taken because they thought it would be simple and easy. they hadn't expected to be asked to dance for real, and thus had been caught completely off guard when part of their participation grade was from attempting to perform some of the simpler dances.[break][break]

they take makoto to the dance floor, mind racing as they try to remember exactly what to do. first they take them by the hand, then a hand on their waist... and then they lead the other in a slow but steady waltz, nothing too extravagant, thankful they chose not to wear heels on this day.[break][break]

after a bit they break for the refreshments table again, intent on that free food. after piling their plate up they turn back to makoto. they pull their mask up just enough to uncover their mouth. "the aguav cakes are really good. i might have to see about stealing the recipe..."

[attr="class","aurelie-lyrics"]Give a man a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
[attr="class","border"]

Aurelie fairly jumped and yelped in surprise when she felt an unexpected tap on the shoulder, though she found herself relaxing when she heard the voice behind her. She was fairly sure it sounded rather familiar, even though it was slightly muffled by the sinister skull mask that also rendered its owner unrecognizable.

Not to mention the last time I heard him talk, he was groaning in pain after falling off the side of a cliff in the Great Chasm, she reflected somberly, remembering the last time she'd seen Oscar. And...he wouldn't sound so nervous about being in a spooky old mansion, would he? I mean, he builds Genesects for fun! That's plenty spooky too!

So, maybe her guess was wrong. She smirked a little when Alba echoed her toast and then innocently mentioned perhaps the spookiest fact about the mansion: its location atop an ancient burial ground. Aurelie made no effort to hide her own frightened shudder at the thought.

"Santé, newcomer," she interjected, before taking a sip. The mixture of apple cider, sparkling wine, and spices filled her with a highly welcome feeling of warmth and well-being. Smiling weakly at the man she suspected to be Oscar, she added, "Let's hope that's just a rumor, right? Just a fun story to make the party more interesting."

Then, an earsplitting scream ripped through the air, and Aurelie nearly spilled her drink as she whirled to face the dining room. "Not that this party needs to be more interesting! What in Arceus' name just happened? Did someone just die?"

No one else seemed particularly startled, though, from what she could see. And as Ghost types invited them all within the dining room, Aurelie couldn't help staring and salivating at the palatial feast upon the banquet tables. She paid no attention at all to the plateware or utensils; she only had eye for the food.

"Well, no one seems to have died, so that's good..." she ventured cautiously. "Oooh, is that Ducklett à l'orange over there? And a whole roast Lechonk on the far table, with a glazed Applin in its mouth?"

The redhead reached out randomly to tug at the sleeve of one of the men beside her, which happened to be Alba. "Come on, safety in numbers, right? Won't you gallant gentlemen help escort a shy fearful lady to dinner?" she teased them, stepping eagerly toward the dining room. "I'm sure your courage will fill my maidenly heart with joy."



Notes
- Mask, Dress
- Suspects but isn't sure about Oscar. Doesn't even notice sneakily eavesdropping
- Scared by the scream but excited about delicious food
- Starts toward the dining room and teases Alba and Oscar about coming with her for safety

"It's the best I could find on a short notice, and the oxygen deprivation is good for me. I can't think I look ridiculous if I'm depriving myself of oxygen."

The admin waggled a finger thoughtfully, his eye gleaming through the bag like a Duskull's pupil bobbling around in its skull. He carried himself with remarkable poise, despite the shamelessness of his interactions with everyone in the main lobby earlier. Nobody could say that pride was Howard Slayte's downfall.

It was a shock that he had any left. Instead, he focused on Cillian's last question before he turned green from overdrinking.

"I do. Hopefully while being inebriated as possible. I'm at my best when I'm drunk enough to be shameless but not too drunk that my depth perception comes back. Means we can poke around in the back while occasionally going back to the party. Might try to get a number or two, depending on how things go. Nobody expects a Rocket Admin to be such a... wastrel."

He popped open the bottle and poured himself a glass, before downing it. "Regardless, I want to snag a few pieces from this place for my personal connection and sell the rest."

He raised his empty glass to the underboss in a toast.

"Gotta pay the electric bill on that fossil machine somehow, right?"

Cass nods at Desiree's words of perhaps recognising her, too, but she definitely doesn't quite expect it - though the Trubbish around her might be a hint more than her face, frankly, as that trait might make her more distinct than anything else. Unless you're also very into hair, since hers is quite immaculate (but it's been tussled back at Sea Mauville due to ... the collapse of the very same).

She does seem to brighten up a bit as the other mentions the riddle, and she nods. "Yes! Woo," she says, nudging Vespa - they're supposed to be masquerading, right?, "Did you get any information from the talks? I haven't figured out much more beyond what we already know. I wonder what might have happened ... but I think we're-"

A scream cuts through the hall.

A chill.

"What happened-?" she asks, alarmed, but there's nothing. Her feet immediately carry her closer to the origin, though she doesn't stray far from the group. Then the before closed doors to the dining room open, as they are also the very source ... "Guess we're about to have even more food in a bit," she comments, slightly unsettled, but ... the dining room doesn't seem to hold any hints. The tables are decked with quite an amount of green however.

"Do you think if we eat the food here, it's going to have the same effect as eating faerie food?" she asks, finding herself drawn to the Durin Berry table - though she'd be open for other tables if her companions prefer another. "Oh, I'm ... Helm, by the way. Yeah, you can just call me Helm for tonight."

- link to post with outfit descriptions; codename helm
- makes light conversation about the mystery and rumours

Cillian laughs, sharp, genuine amusement lighting his golden gaze behind the mask.[break][break]

"I'd rather not get drunk if I can avoid it." He swirls the green liquid around in his glass like a sommelier at a wine tasting. "Don't know how drunk I could get off this stuff, anyway."[break][break]

He never likes getting drunk. would know that by now, if he paid attention at any Rocket functions where alcohol was on offer.[break][break]

"I'll masquerade," Cillian smirks, "as your designated drunk-sitter."[break][break]

His eyes gleam at the thought of a heist.[break][break]

"Oh, I'd be more than happy to help with that." His nose wrinkles at the mention of fossil machines, narrowing his eyes. "I'm lucky mine survived the flood; perks of a watertight basement."[break][break]

He'd had it built that way in the hopes of avoiding damage to his equipment during high tides. He hadn't anticipated Kyogre's biblical flood, but his work was preserved all the same.[break][break]

Cillian raises his glass to Howard, then drains the rest.[break][break]

The scream sees him tense momentarily before relaxing. "Everyone'll be going to check that out. Reckon now's our best chance to sneak off."

Grigori took the water with desperation and glugged it down like a drowning fish. It might look strange, but he hadn’t drank water for hours now. He’d run out on site, and the job had to be completed. Unfortunately for him, he chose to do so right as someone approached him.

“Hm?” He peered from his now empty clear glass towards the stranger. Very blue. Gorgeous. Talking to him. Him?

“I’m afraid I’ve done no dancing,” he admitted as he set the glass back down. A refill was in order. “But my place of work was rather… physically demanding today.”

No need to be specific. Let the mystery of the event play its part. “Do not fret it, the night is still young even if I am not. I have time aplenty to dance and--”

The music ceased suddenly. A shriek cuts through the crowd, yet food trays cut through them. The commotion gets his interest, but for once, he decided not to directly investigate. Trouble followed him everywhere else. It could not here. He wouldn’t let it.

“I’m sure that was… nothing,” he cleared his through loudly, “Anyway. I am here to enjoy the festivities, but I must ensure I do not hurt myself in the process. How about yourself?”

Tl;dr
 - Drowning himself in precious WATER
 - Greets and assures the stranger that he's just tired fro work
 - For once, does NOT run to the sound of screaming (I just don't wanna okay)
 - The three berries are defined as Hard

"Father Ward and Ms. Ivy Tudor was it?" he said, doubting the identity but smiling all the same. "We are in accordance with our objectives." his voice carried a sort of quality that made it clear he was playing around, but not maliciously. He rather liked masquerade parties. Or well parties with a gimmick. Anything but the 'stand around and make small talk with strangers' kind of party he often avoided. [break][break]

He supposed it was his turn to introduce himself. But he really didn't have anything planned. Landon Cassidy, while uncommon, was recognizable enough to League personnel now. "Preston St. Claire. No title." he added, holding back a snort as he greeted the pair. Just as he's about to suggest they go enjoy the antiquities a scream goes off and at first his heart thumps hard in his chest. And then the ghosts appear and everything is peachy keen. "They have...a strange way of getting our attention." Tis the season right? [break][break]

He looks to the fellow blonde and grinned, "You have more space right?" Even as he pat his own stomach, a little hungry for the evening he doesn't dart off. Instead he offered his arm to the priest as well as Ivy, turning to to add. "Let's go with him. I'm curious to see the spread." he said as he offered the pair both an arm each to escort them. [break][break]

He doesn't look too insulted if they chose not to, still keen on following the crowd. The banquet is generous and the ghost pals are pretty cutely dressed in little costumes to match their roles as servant. He grabs a little plate sniping tongs down when he finds the charcuterie stacks and piling on little rolls of half melted cheese wrapped in slightly fried prosciutto. Still warm, steam rising up. He should've brought a bag so he could sneak some of the good shit home.

The scream was loud. Annoyingly so. If the admin's BAC levels were higher, that shriek would've done more damage to him than falling off of Regirock. As it was, he simply squinted in annoyance.

"See? Howard sighed melodramatically, hiding the fact that the shriek had startled him. "Someone's dead, probably. Someone's always fuckin' dead.

A Gastly floated overhead, proving his point. There were a lot of dead things here, not that it particularly narrowed down Howard's criteria. After the mansion adventure where Howard had dealt with police officer , his tolerance for scary mansions had dropped substantially.

Or was he a detective? Howard didn't remember.

"I guess I'm lucky. I never got a house in Sootopolis. Couldn't afford it." There was also the silent addition of Howard not shitting where he ate. Now that the League was dancing around the drowned corpse of the city, he was lucky that there wasn't a Casa de Slayte lying around. "But regardless..."

They slunk through shadows, sneaking about.

"Let's be off."
