Masquerade Ball

[Siranna]

Siranna and many elves prepared the ball for guests. A few days ago messangers had been sent to all realms of Middle Earth though some of them weren't exactly thrilled. The celebration had been the coming of Spring however in her mind, Siranna hoped that any ties broken or loosened could be fixed between realms. All she truly wanted was a peaceful country so after thinking, she had decided to invite all realms as long as everyone kept their swords inside their sheathes.

[Alcorad]

Doren approached the ball wearing a black, porceline mask. He allowed his steed to be taken to the stables and made his way up the steps of Mirkwood's lavish Citadel. As he was escorted to the ballroom he realized none were there. He simply shrugged and seated himself at one of the tables set out, eyeing the open courtyard that had also been prepared for dancing under the night sky.

[Legolas]

Legolas rode up on a white horse...alone. His wife would be along presently, but they had thought it would be much more amusing if they came alone, so as not to give any the pleasure of revealing who they were.

Legolas was dressed all in red, and his entire face was covered by a mask in the figure of the eagle. Only his eyes were visible, and even then only to those who would look on with a knowing glance.

[E'vesash]

E'vesash arrived a short while later. She was clothed in an elaborate gown of the richest greens. Her dark hair was swept up atop her head, allowing a few curls to spill down here and there. What would give her away, were her emerald eyes showing through a sparkling mask of soft green. She dismounted Azen' and handed him over (much to his disdain) to one of those that were in charge of tethering the horses.

E'vesash entered the place, her mind whirling with its intense beauty. Finally, she spotted Legolas' a short distance away. She went up to him and gave a curtsey as she glanced around for other guests. There were not many yet, so it was alright if she and Legolas' were seen together.

[Legolas]

Legolas bowed in respect to Evy, though it amused him greatly to be acting so formally with her, but he played his part well, not giving away anything on his side. If he was going to be forced to do it, he'd do it the right way...

"My lady, allow me to introduce myself as Lord Dorfanen, illustrious visitor and most gracious of all present. May I be so bold as to inquire to your name?"

[E'vesash]

E'vesash tilted her head as she watched him, amused with the part he was playing. She shook her head and laughed as she glanced at a few more entering guests. "Well, kind Sir. I do not generally give away my name to just any passing stranger." Evy replied as she folded her arms and smiled.

[Legolas]

Legolas laughed, a jubilant smile hidden behind his mask. "A passing stranger? But what stranger would give away his name and not expect one in return?"

[Ilmare]

Ilmare entered the room and went to the bar. She took a drink and mixed herself under the other guests. Ah well, she thought, its masquarade, but no doubt this must be Legolas and Evy in front of. As usual the were leaving not any chance to flirt with each other, even in the thickest crowd. She smirked. Probably they would do it even in battle, if good Legolas would be able anyway to take his eyes for a short time off his wife.

[E'vesash]

E'vesash smirked as she turned away from him teasingly, glancing back over her shoulder. "A foolish one." She placed both hands on her hips as she surveyed the room for a table of refreshments. Finally she spotted one. "Though, such a stranger could gain favor in the eyes of a maiden if he were to fetch her a drink." She was smiling now.

[Legolas]

Legolas offered a parting bow. "Your wish, fair lady, is mine to fulfill." Legolas made his way to the bar, taking up two glasses of white wine. One for himself, and one for...the lady with whom he was speaking with.

He came back presently, handing one of the glasses to E'vesash. He lifted his own in a toasting gesture. "To the mysterious woman, who doubts the authenticity of one such as myself. May she never be lacking in discerning such fools as myself."

[E'vesash]

E'vesash laughed and lifted her glass as well, clinking it lightly against his. "May it ever be so." She then raised the glass to her lips and sipped from the cool liquid. "But since you already know my name, we need not go into that. For I am not as good in that respect as you." She allowed her emerald eyes to roam the room once more before landing again on Legolas. "I do hope more attend than this. But I am sure they will, we are quite early after all."

[Legolas]

"indeed, indeed... The lady Siranna makes a habit of procurring the attendance of her friends and enemies... Perhaps a sign of want of entertainment I suppose..." Legolas watched a dark figure sitting near the bar. The form was eerie and nothing short of evil...

[Morsereg Dîndaedel]

Morsereg rode up atop a black horse, smirking to himself as he let it be carried off to the stables. He was dressed all in black, with a mask resembling a skull adorned on his face. He wandered in, looking about. He sat down at the bar and looked at the other guests, wondering when Namine would arrive.

[Siranna]

((LOL. A skull eh?))

Siranna evtered the room from the entrance, though she wouldn't be able to hide her identry long since she hosted it, maybe she would be concealed for a time. She wore an elegant blue dress and her hair was let down for once. She wore a blue eye mask for concealment. She walked to the bar and grabbed a drink and walked around making sure everything was perfect and it was nice to see some guessts about.

[namine]

Namine shortly after entered wearing a white gown with golden trims and a golden circlit was over her long flowing hair and she wore a white with gold trim mask. She saw Morsereg and joined him. "I see you are dressed joyfully." She said jokingly.
