… Through the door and into a place quite different from the casual warmth of the bar.

Deep cherry velvet carpets the antique wooden floors of the balcony that surrounds the ballroom; the grand staircase is about five paces from the door, directly before the doorway.

To the left of the staircase is a small, freestanding and solemn sign, pointing to an open doorway further down on the left, reading ‘Mask Room.’ Billy Batson, dressed to the nines in polished black, stands by the banister to give directions and general assistance.

From here you can see the revelry below.

[ooc: fyi - There is an actual Grand Staircase thread to be found here. The banister thread is for those not yet ready to make their entrances. Sorry for my terrible vagueness.]

Merci beaucoup, *Meg says, dipping a deep curtsey, and then giggles.*

"Well, perhaps a little. But Mums the word, and I shall tell not a soul."

He sweeps a bow to her.

*Very solemnly:* I appreciate your kindness in keeping my secret, unknown monsieur. You are truly a gentleman of the most distinguished sort.

"Merely here to be of service, milady. I hope the Masquerade gives you joy."

As long as we don't get any crazy Phantoms coming in brandishing evil Opera scores, *Meg says, firmly,* I'm good.

From:

Billy chuckles.

"As far as I know, we dont have any opera planned, but I will keep my eye out, just in case."

From:

balletrat

*Meg laughs.*

This is a Masquerade ball - it's pretty Operatic just by nature.

From:

withamagicword

He chuckles.

"Well, yes, but other than that."

He grins.

"Hopefully it will be more romantic and fun than operatic."

From:

balletrat

Romantic and fun -

*Meg twirls, her blue skirt swirling out around her.*

- I can do.

From:

withamagicword

"You look magnificent, madame. I am sure you will set hearts to racing on the dance floor."

From:

balletrat

- well, I should hope so anyways, *Meg answers, giggling.*

I mean, not to - what's the expression, blow my own horn? - but I'm pretty sure I can more than keep up with everyone here when it comes to dancing.
