Gathering: Masquerade Ball

[concierge]

A large sign placed prominently in the Nexus lobby reads:

The Nexus Hotel
proudly presents the
MARDI GRAS MASQUERADE BALL

Event Location
Nexus Dining Hall
8 PM - 2 AM

Masquerade dress recommended, but not required for all guests

The Dining Hall's central table and chairs had been removed to create a dance floor wide enough to accommodate fanciful masquerade costumes. On one end had been placed a long bar providing free drinks, and on the other a small chamber orchestra providing the music for dancing. The entire room was bedecked in gold bunting and twinkling candlelight, and masks were available for those guests who hadn't brought their own.

Chiana had been working on a dress for just this sort of event, and she was glad for the occasion to wear it. It was black, hooded, and for once did not emphasise her cleavage. She wore it with dark leggings and her usual flat boots, although she had for once left her gloves in her room. She had grabbed a simple mask at the entrance; she hadn't known she'd need one, and she was glad for the freebie.

Of course, as soon as she arrived, she made a beeline for the drinks buffet.
