- Information on the Celestial Event: ( Description from last year )
-
THE OOC: First and foremost the House of Blackflame would like to thank Bartholomew Krempt’s typist for coming to management with the suggestion for this event. We would like to invite everyone who has ideas or things they would like to do to drop us a line. We do take your interests and ideas seriously. This is a special event, an experiment. The point of the occasion is not to try to find loopholes around the plot. The affair is designed for everyone to have fun and so that their characters may experience something new. Perhaps even shift plots in a more interesting direction. Every creature, if not already human, is genetically re-engineered as such for lack of a better description.
The process of how they are transformed into a human is completely up to your imagination.Because we’ve already had a problem with individuals looking for loop hole; note the specifics of the following: There is absolutely, -NO- magic. Zero exceptions. Objects do not retain magic, from this or any realm, the manor has no magic, there is no electricity because of this. The event is a wave of magic that negates all other magics, regardless of origin. If you’re not interested in participating in the plot this weekend, that is fine, no one is required to do so. If you are roleplaying in the room this weekend until 12:01AM PST Sunday morning, it is mandatory you abide by the guidelines of the theme. Any disruption of the event will not be tolerated.

THE IC: An eerie silence fell over the land of Ayenee, the violent summer storm subsiding as if some, all powerful, unseen force willed it to do so. With the clouds rapidly shrinking into the distance the sky would burst to life, lit up by an aurora of the most vibrant violets, greens, and yellows, the display streaking across the sky. Systematically all the clocks in the manor would strike midnight, each chime leaving the air thick and heavy, with anticipation for each member of the house who had stayed up for the beginning of the unknown. The moon ever so slowly being eclipsed by a black mass as the celestial event began, cutting off the entire realm’s sources of magic. For each of the supernatural creatures of the land the effects would be different, for some the splicing and dilution of DNA could produce a painful reaction, and for others they may not have felt anything at all.
In either case this event would render them all mortal, sealing them in the fleshy facades they favored, their physical strengths capped at those of an average human who matched their build. The servants of the manor, wherever they may have been, whatever task they may have been working on, would evaporate into plumes of dark wispy smoke, loud horrendous shrieks echoing through the halls. With the manor’s store of magic dispatched and sealed, the lavish home would remain in its current state, though its supernatural properties would be rendered to that of an ordinary structure for the duration of the celestial event.

- The Blackflame Manor:
The manor was bustling with activity as the servants prepared for tonight’s gala. Everywhere the eye turned it would find something as equally lavish as the last. Enchanted bushels of roses adorned every counter’s surface, black and orange ribbons neatly tied around the neck of every vase. As with previous years the masquerade would be held in the massive ballroom – it had been sealed for the majority of the day, unbeknownst to the patrons of house, it had been undergoing some rather complicated renovations. The once cream colored marble floor was now black as night, a quartz pressed into the tiles, glittering with a fiery intensity, containing every color of the rainbow when the light hit each sliver of quartz just right. The rest of the ballroom remained largely untouched, pillars lined the outer most edge of the dance floor, wide ribbons of black and orange wrapped along the entire length of each structure.
The chandeliers had been removed, once more replaced by the eerie glow of thousands of candles, floating mysteriously above the heads of any who entered. They would illuminate the ceiling, revealing the gothic flare of its beautiful design, ethereal snowflakes drifting through the air, turning ever more opaque before vanishing completely a foot or so from the floor. The flakes would also disappear once they touched any part of the body for those who might partake in dance or socializing on the main section of dance floor. Random piles of pumpkins embellished the walls in equally spaced increments, some ghostly white, others orange and ranging in size and shape. The male and female servants that would tend to the guests every need would be dressed uniformly; black three-piece suits with tailcoat jackets, white cummerbund underneath, and black bowties to match.
The female servants wore a similar constrained form of clothing; black embroidered corsets and knee-length pleated skirts, long white ribbons woven into their hair, a white choker at the throat. They would hold a variety of trays; some of Champaign, hard liquors available upon request, to endless trays of hors d'oeuvres ranging from fish, beef, and luscious pork. Of course there would be rich and decedent deserts – anything one could think of really, prepared to suit the guest’s taste. Every ounce of the experience was carefully cultivated by the lady of the house; designing it to delight and reward those, who had remained loyal to their cause. This night was for them, a celebration of what they had all accomplished together.
Near the wide staircase at the opposite end of the space is where the orchestra would be located, a stunning grand piano of black lacquer taking center stage, nestled among the chairs set up for the musicians. Midori could only hope that the evening would be enjoyable for all who attended, she had done all she could, and the rest would be up to them. Assured that her vision for the extravagant party was being portrayed appropriately, she would leave the manor to finish the rest of the preparations – after all, she needed to get dressed; eager to see the combinations of costumes and masks that would be chosen. It would begin soon…
- OOC: The servants are NPCs so please feel free to use them and create whatever foods or drinks you wish to use as props. There is no specific time the event is starting, so don't hesitate to begin whenever you are ready! While the event spans two IRL days, it is one night IC. It was done this way to give everyone a chance to play. Happy Halloween!

- The Blackflame Manor: The ghost like servants slipped quietly down every hall, fanning out through the manor, finding each of the intended recipients. If the intended person was not already occupied it would personally delivered, otherwise it would be slipped under the door to their rooms. In their hands lay a black envelope with an intricate embossed design and purple lettering, each person received their own letter, name beautifully crafted along the exterior. A small orange ribbon held the object closed and once it was removed the invitation would be revealed. It was clear these were lovingly hand crafted by the lady of the house, each one perfect. "Dante and Midori Blackflame request the pleasure of your company at a Masquerade Ball in honor of All Hallow's Eve, Friday, October the Twenty-Fifth, beginning at Two O' Clock Pacific Standard Time." Once their task was completed the servant would bow slightly and disappear back to their assigned tasks./e
