~ Lord and Lady Dickinson ~

The final rays of the sun settled into the west, and an evening promising of sin and debauchery awoke.
In a well-lit mansion overlooking the Thames, dozens of well-dressed servants scurried about making the final preparations for the New Years Eve ball later that night. No expense had been spared on this little get-together, which was sure to have over a hundred guests at the very least.
The majority of the entertainment was set to take place in the elaborate main hall of the house. With ceilings nearly 20 feet tall and three ornamented crystal chandeliers dangling overhead, the now relatively empty space was sparkling with potential. Extending from either side of the huge central room were two long wings lined with tall windows dressed in flowing red and gold curtains. Rising from the back of the central hall was a broad, sweeping staircase covered in a blood red carpet; the stairs led to the upper two floors of the mansion, which were unofficially off-limits for the party. Tables overflowing with food and fountains of champagne surrounded the main dance floor, along with a few empty chairs awaiting the lonely wallflowers. A small professional orchestra was beginning to tune and set up in the corner while the last of the exotic floral arrangements were dispersed around the room. Everything seemed to be falling into order...

When submitting a character application, please specify (anywhere it seems fit) your character's relationship with Lord and Lady Dickinson. How did they get invited to the party? Are they crashing the party? Are they there to do a dirty deal with Lord Dickinson for money or a trade of some kind?

As the final touches were dealt with around the the center ball room, he leisurely descended the sweeping red staircase, keeping to the far left side. In one hand, he carried a long black cane studded tastefully with rubies; in the other, he carried a goblet of champagne. No other guests would be offered a glass such as that for the evening; it was a rare piece he enjoyed showing off.
The mask he wore was elaborate, clearly expensive. It was made of glistening black and navy blue feathers and delicate pieces of gold leaf. His black suit had medium length tails, and he wore a pair of black gloves to match. His grey-blue eyes sparkled mischievously through the eyes of the mask as he surveyed the arrival of the first few guests. He enjoyed creating wanton situations with his excess wealth, and he did so hope that the late night would lead the party in such a direction.
In the corner of the room, the orchestra began to play quietly; they weren’t yet up to the festive dancing songs that were to come later in the evening, but even a little music cast the room into a new, somehow ethereal light.
