Le Masquerade

[tragic_mask]

[ooc: please go first to the Through the Door thread. Thanks.]

 ETA: As of this thread, all new threads in the masquerade are now after midnight [the links below are now re-linked to after-midnight sub-threads]. React at your leisure.

The ballroom itself is a burst of dazzling light. Hanging from the vaulted ceiling are two gold-wrought chandeliers, both of which glow brightly over the occasion, and tall lanterns shine throughout the room.

 

The grand staircase descends with a flourish and opens onto the main ballroom. A balcony, which providing a clear view of the goings-on below, runs all the way around the edge of the room. It can be reached via any of the four spiral staircases in each corner of the ballroom.

 

Below, the wooden dance floor flickers gently in the light from above, and musicians in the side room play soft, classical music. Meg Giry, the dance mistress for tonight, is on the floor with a microphone in hand.

 

A low, wooden bar in the corner provides hors d’oeuvres and drinks to revelers; small tables for two sprinkle the area.

"And which were you at the time?"

She knows that he is incredibly wealthy now, but it couldn't have always been so.

"Sometimes one, sometimes the other. Times rose and fell and I was no different."

He smiles.

"It was an age of decadence. I had to be careful. My secret can be all-too frgile."

She nods as they continue dancing.

"The modern world makes it easier for you to hide who and what you really are. Anyone who has never set foot in Milliways would never believe you were a million years old."


ANd how amazing was it that she had found him, from a different world, and a different time?

"I love you."

And that is another miracle, in and of itself.

She returns the kiss, and then returns to the dance, content.
