" Oh, come on! Would it really be so bad? I mean, Europeans give their kids wine when they're like 10 or whatever. Ain't no harm in giving 'em a sip. "

"Just don't end up letting your mind wander and accidentally give out a cold one to the trick-or-treaters. That might get you into some trouble."

" The only downside of living in a penthouse during Halloween is I can't hand out candy like normal. Guess the only way I could fix that is t' just sit outside the building while I'm in costume. "

Most would probably assume a man of his stature wasn't much of a reader in the first place. The reputation Django had built up over the past several years didn't exactly help either, for how would anyone think that a guy who spends his free time picking fights in the seedier parts of this city would ever sit down and read something like Leaves of Grass, or even Crime and Punishment. But as most have often said "looks can be deceiving". Or at least in this particular case "looks can be deceiving, but you're not wrong for thinking this one's a violent and wild son of a bitch. though I swear to god he actually likes to read too".

And while some may find assumptions being made of their person to be rather annoying, Django saw it more as an opportunity to mess with others. So what better a moment to make an ass of himself than in front of a teenager! I mean, they find that kinda shit funny, right? Right?!?!

" Nah, but I can point out where all the nice gear is if that's what you're looking for. " He would pause for a moment to add comedic tension before continuing.

" Waaaait a minute; this ain't the sports store! How the hell did I wind up here? Ugh. This is what I get for being illiterate. "

This city might have somehow been stranger than that place, but Cheryl supposed things couldn’t be all bad if it had so many fun and interesting places. No mall she had ever been to could compare to the Mermaid Cove Mall, and she’d already spent many hours window shopping. She didn’t really understand the new fashion or gadgets just yet, but she’d heard her own father say similar things in the past, so perhaps it was just something natural. Thinking of her father left her with a bittersweet smile each time, and she couldn’t help but wonder what he would think of this strange island.

He’d probably just be a worrywart…

Cheryl sighed as such thoughts filled her brain; she turned the corner of the bookstore she had been browsing though for the last few minutes. She’d wondered if any of her father’s novels could be found here, but the way this store was organized was so odd. There were young adult novels mixed in with romance or mystery books– just where was the logic here? If there was any, Cheryl hadn’t deduced it yet.

She sighed as she moved to a new aisle. Cheryl supposed she could ask an employee, but she hadn’t seen one upon entering the store. What if there weren’t any? That would be awkward…

Suddenly, movement and a figure thereof drifted into her peripheral vision, and Cheryl jumped. Her reflexes were still a bit jumpy, but she couldn’t help it. Cheryl assumed the large person she saw had to be an employee.

“Um, excuse me…”

Cheryl paused, giving the man a more thorough look.

(Talk about awkward…)

“Oh, sorry…. you definitely don’t work here, huh?”

Of all the people who inhabit this city—many of which who have far more patience and care when it came to guiding the never ending parade of fresh new faces. Django can't help but wonder why exactly he was singled out by this young man. Was there something about him that the other found approachable? Perhaps his grizzled look gave the impression of a wise old man who had plenty to offer when it came to surviving this island (he swears he's still in his 30's last he checked).

" Eh, I think you could do better than me. " he replies back. A surprisingly genuine statement from the man compared to what years ago would've been outright annoyance. " Not a whole lot, kid. You just live out your days like the rest of us. I mean, if there's ever been a bigger reason over why any of us were brought here, the nerds running the place sure as hell don't want to tell us. "

" Who knows? Maybe you'll be lucky and get sent back home. In which case you're pretty much just killing time till then. "

        Oh, Suo is very much familiar with people of this ilk. He isn’t one to judge someone by its cover, of course, but it is admittedly difficult not to assume when he has seen many others who dress and carry themselves like him — and not all of them have been amicable encounters at that. He’s sensed that presence from the scum and gangsters that cause havoc in their town, the very kind of people the Bofurin were created to expel.

        The only thing that stays his hand is the fact that he’s not really causing any trouble at the moment, and who is he to judge through appearances alone? Would Suo himself not be considered a delinquent in other places, no matter how well-mannered and calm he presents himself to be?

        No, there’s no need to start conflict when it doesn’t exist. It would be far more interesting to see how someone like him can live a normal life in this place — or if there is more than what is seems.

        “You seem to have been here for a long while, care to show me the ropes?” Suo approaches the far older man with his usual smile, undeterred by the difference in their age and presence. “I’ve been wondering what are we supposed to do here in the city.”

" Hey, yo! Fancy runnin' into you here. I take it Miss Olga convinced you to come? Hahahaha! Gotta say, bro; you're lookin' sharp as hell tonight. Might give the ol' count a run for his money. "

" Like what, someone getting their rocks off cause they got to see a little bit of ankle? " he laughs. " I mean, you ain't wrong. It's not like debauchery didn't exist until well into the 20th century. Shit's been around for ages. I just happen t' indulge in my vices differently than most rich folk. Then again, most rich folk get up to some real freaky stuff. " His mind conjures up images of the wealthy throwing similar masquerades, albeit with much heavier cult-ish undertones. Reminds him one of those sex pervert movies he's seen back in the day.

" Oh, definitely. If I know Ritsuka—and I like to believe I do—she definitely went all out with refreshments. Girl's as good of a host as there can be. Real considerate type. I just gotta try and not drink everyone under the table or else her boyfriend's gonna set me on fire while swearing in French. "

While normally Django would have begun to wonder about what food and drink their gracious hosts would be providing, he instead finds himself much more occupied by the thought of Cecilia. Or, to be more specific, her choice in dress. There's nothing particularly wrong with it at all. In fact, he finds it to be rather beautiful. Definitely draws the eyes to certain places, that he won't deny. But there is something about its design that makes him wonder if it played a factor in her choosing it. Something that, in all honesty, he might just be looking too deeply into.

But like, why does it kinda remind him of blood?

" You're just too used to the wild party lifestyle. You'd be surprised at what can go on at some of these balls." she knew better than most, spending plenty years of her life being whirled around a dancefloor with the gazes of many focused on her alone. and perhaps a few of them had her whispering in a duke's ear with the promise of a power he was unable to turn down, but it's not like they're still alive to tell it. or even within this city which is all the better. she doesn't need her past actions being aired out like dirty laundry.

plus, it felt nice, to slip back into something more than a simple, everyday outfit. perhaps it was the wearing of a mask, of hiding everything but her voice from the crowd, the tantalizing allure of mystery.

" Plus, the food and drink at such parties are always of the highest quality. I'm sure somebody will end up drunk on their ass at some point during the night."

[sanpatron]

" The hell y'all getting so upset for? It's not my fault I won the genetics lottery and became so tall, handsome, and strong. Blame your parents for your shortcomings. "

[sanpatron]

" I mean, you ain't wrong. I kinda find this stuff waaaay too formal for my liking. But I mean, eh. I might've softened on the idea over the years thanks to some people. " And especially one in particular. " Plus it kiiiinda helps when you're coming here for a date, hahaha! "

" Oho? The fifth emperor of Rome owes me? Now that's a privilege you don't get every day! Nah, I'm happy I could help. Like I said, you look stunning! Very very beautiful. I'm sure you've been making everyone's heads turn. "

"well, well, if it isn't mister foley himself! well i am quite happy to see you partake in such occasions, i almost assumed this wasn't your type of scene."

that reminds her...he did help nero pick out this dress for her. "before i forget! my sincerest thanks for helping me pick out this costume, i suppose i owe you one this time around."

[sanpatron]

" Nero! I knew you'd come! And might I say you are looking exceptionally radiant tonight. I knew that was a good pick from the moment I saw it, hehehe. "

" Shit, bro. I was pretty surprised t' hear you were ok with hosting this thing. Figured you would've preferred brooding in the dark than letting a bunch of strangers into your home. Guess it's pretty tough to say no to the girlie, hahaha! She's pretty damn good at tearing our walls down, huh? "

Not sure who's up right now, so I'll probably reblog this again later. But just wanted to remind y'all to check out my plotting call whenever you have the chance! I would absolutely love to go over ideas and come up with potential dynamics. And if you're up for doing something pre-established, then let's go for it!

" Oh my god. Tsubaki! Look at you! " the man exclaims—running over to greet his friend proper. Wait, is that a confirmed thing? Are they friends? Hmm, much to think about. " Ya look like a friggin' princess! Oh man, Ragna must be head over heels, hahaha. "

" Y'know, for a first date, this is kinda overkill. " he jokes. That grin of his very noticeable in spite of the mask he currently wears. " But I mean shit, I wouldn't have it any other way. Let's just pray I'm still good at this, hahaha! "

Hand in hand Django and the lovely Cecilia would make their way over to Chateau d'Cendre—the manor playing host to a ball that celebrated the changing of the season. He would have to remember to congratulate Ritsuka on a job well done in setting this up. What perfect timing as the man was in desperate need of some way to spend more time with his rather bewitching companion.

" It's kinda funny, but I used t' not really be a huge fan of these parties back home. Felt way too formal for a guy like me. Stupid party animal shit is more my scene. But like.. I guess under the right circumstances these can be pretty fun. Besides, it helps to have good company too. "

This here's gonna be Django's outfit for the party! Cause why bother going to a masquerade ball if you're not gonna rep Venice Carnival? I don't have a color scheme in mind just yet, but we can save that for later, lmfao. However, the mask will remain as is because nothing screams "former gang leader" like wearing an ornate devil mask.

PLEASE NOTE: this is NOT an event, but just a fun party for the fall that muses can use for starters and interactions!

upon waking this morning, many of spirale's residents would find numerous pieces of paper carefully placed alongside poles and bare surfaces, in the windows of numerous shops, placed in a way to draw attention. with closer inspection, they would learn that it's an invitation to a ball being thrown by two of the city's residents, one Ritsuka Fujimaru and The Count of Monte Cristo. a ball to celebrate the change of the season with promise of food, entertainment, and dancing with a promise to amaze at their personal home. the ball will be held over the course of three nights to give those who wish to come plenty of time to do so, given how....sudden the invite is.

hey hi hello!! so, i had a very strong urge to have ritsuka throw a little ball party and decided hey why not do it? below i'll list what you need to know should you want your character to attend or even comment on it!

it'll be held at the Count's Chateau located in the City of Glass, which means that yes there will be a grand ballroom to accomadate the guests and the like! don't break anything though. if you do then you'll be invited to come down to the cellar to check out this cask of amontillado--

it isn't a costume ball in the sense of going dressed up in a halloween costume but rather something of a mix between the venice carnival and the ball scene in the movie van helsing. the scene of which you can see here ( just without the vampires and fighting!) it is recommended to dress to fit the theme, but should your muse prefer something not as extravagant for their own personal comfort, then that's fine! the only requirement is that they don a mask. for the mystery. spooky.

live entertainment is in the form of an opera singer NPC who during the duration of the ball, will be wearing a veil over her face as she serenades everyone. the music will be more classical rather than pop

most of the chateau's more private areas WILL be off limits, but the ballroom, the gardens, and the outside areas are free to explore!

IC wise it will be held across THREE NIGHTS starting at 6pm EST today and ending at midnight, but ooc wise, you have until the 22nd of september to use it for threads (which is the date of the autumn equinox u see what i did there???) just to give people time to have a chance to participate if they want to!

in regards to threads or starters for the event, please use the tag #isola equinox ball just to make it easier for those interested to find starter calls and the like!

again, this is NOT an event of any sorts, just something fun to give characters a chance to relax and be fancy!
