Introduction
When you wake up, you're no longer sleeping in your bed with your PJs. Instead you're sitting on an intricately designed bench, wearing a masquerade mask and outfit. You're in a large mansion, decorated as it would've been a hundred years ago. Outside it is a gorgeous garden, with flowers and trees of every kind, fountains, and benches. And a tall gate that goes around the whole property, keeping the masqueraders inside. There are two kitchens, a room for everyone, every and anything needed to live. There are even closets in the rooms with more clothes, but all are for balls. You only have one mask, though, that one identity, but you can take it off. If you loose your mask, or it is broken, another one, identical to the first, will appear on your bed. If you switch masks with another, it will appear on the rightful owner's bed within the hour.

Valentine sat in the middle of her piano bench, straightening up her posture, just as her piano instructor had told her. Her blue eyes scanned the ivory and raven keys as she brought her long fingers to them. The piece was simple, elegant and beautiful. Her eyes closed.
When Valentine had opened her eyes, her small leather bench had been replaced by a much larger wooden one. The scenery of her tiny apartment was exchanged with a view of a gorgeous ballroom filled with graceful music and sophisticated people dancing. She rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't dreaming. Valentine stood up, gasping at her outfit. Her black cami and shredded jeans- gone. Instead she wore a beautiful strapless blood red corset, with red skirts to match. The dress was patterned with black lace, and lined with gold on the bottom. Her chestnut brown boots were missing, with black flats to take their place.
She smiled to herself, walking into the middle of the ballroom and getting a glass of Italian champagne from a handsome waiter wearing white gloves and a expensive looking suit.

Mina stares at a boy accross the room, * I wonder what he thinks of the girls that fallow him around like puppies* She sighs and goes back to dootling and not paying attention to the teachers lecture. Her eyes close.
when she opens her eyes she is in a beautiful study over looking a lovely garden. he short denim skirt now a long flowing skrit. Her tee shirt now a vneck top with flowing sleeves. Both are navy with black stitching. She gets up and walks out on to the lawn to get some fresh air. She finds a nice place to sit down and watch the people go by.

Last Juliana remembered, she had been napping on her couch, about to do her homework. Now, she was curled up on a large bed with black and red silk sheets. Her skinny jeans and T-shirt were gone, replaced by a ball gown. She got off the bed, going to the mirror to check herself out. It was red with black lace over skirt, and it was strapless. Her face turned a slight red at how much arm and shoulder was showing. She avoided tanks and straps, but she was wearing a *strapless* dress! She hated showing off her skin, but the way the dress hugged her, she wasn't as scared. She twirled, watching the bottom flow gracefully, and spotted something on the bed. She picked it up, realizing it was a mask. It was a gorgeous black, with a red rose on one corner and silver sparkles in another. She put over her face, it fitting perfectly, and inspected herself in the mirror once more. It made her purple eyes pop. *Oh, no! I slept with my contacts in again!* She took the mask off, then tried taking her contacts out, just to find out she couldn't. "Ow! Owch! Ow, ow, ow, OWCH!" She stopped trying, since it was just scratching her eye up. She cursed under her breath, worried, then leaned closer, inspecting the damage. It was then she noticed the contact circles weren't there anymore. "Wh-wha?!" She looked closer, but no, they weren't there anymore. Somehow, her contacts had *become* her eyes. A small smile curved her mouth up, and she put the mask back on. Removing her hands from it, she realized it fit so well, she didn't even have to hold it to keep it on her face. "Maybe this won't be so bad..." She whispered to herself, the smile becoming a small smirk.
Juliana left her room to explore this new place, and hopefully find out where she was.

This was a dream wasn't it? If it was then this was the perfect dream at the moment...Cerene felt liberated when the ugly smell of the hospital was replaced by fresh air, the stiff bed replaced by a simple little bench and her colourless hospital gown became a dress fit for a princess. The dress stopped just below her knees and was the shade of midnight. Silver thread painted vines with tiny thorns, silken red roses blossomed over the silver vines in a vibrant display. The sleeves were short that showed off her slender, sillouetted by a pair of silk gloves made up purely of the rose pattern which matched her dress. Her bare feet were now embelished with laced up heels with the same rose theme.
Acting as if she belonged here, Cerene got up and enjoyed the use of her legs. She stayed along the side of the ballroom, watching in awe at the vivid scene of dancing couples. Her mask framed her delicate face and emphasized her maple coloured eyes that gleamed with life.

Valentine sipped her golden champagne, looking around the ballroom to see if she recognized anyone. Nope. She smirked and placed a slender hand on a curved hip.
She had almost forgotten about the beautiful mask that appeared next to her on the fancy bench. She make her way back to where she had first started off from and picked up the simple head piece. She tied the black silk ribbon behind her head, making sure not to get her long black hair caught. She tilted her head to the side, wishing she had a mirror.
Valentine's eyes met the pianist's pair of golden ones. She nodded at him, greatly impressed by the sounds he was making. She smiled as the beautiful piece of music lifted her spirit up.
She took the last sip of the delicious liquid and sat it down on on the bench, walking away from the empty glass. She closed her eyes together and swayed to the elegant music.

Jasper walks up to a waiter " Get me the strongest wiskey you have." he had a hell of a day. He just fell asleep after the best party of his life and then poof here he was in a huge bed with a random bed in a dark room with a killer hang over.
Mina saw Jasper slump down in to a chair * looks like we have a drunk.. hmm, this will be fun.* She gets up to go and find something to eat.

The room was a mess. Papers littered the floor around the bed, the bin was overflowing with cans of juice, and in the middle of the floor Richard Barton lay, a bottle of wine, nearly empty in his hand, and the only sound in the room was the man moving about on the floor as he dreamt, hugging the wine tighter every moment. He jumped up off the floor suddenly, and it took a second for him to realise where he was.
"Oh my. What a mess."
And then he was gone, and in another place completely. It took him more than a second to take in his surroundings this time, as he stared at the dancers dressed exquisitely, listened to the elegant music. And then Richard remembered he was wearing nothing but a dressing gown, and looked down at his clothes in alarm, only to find his gown replaced with an elegant black Victorian-style frock suit and white dress shirt, with dark trousers and polished, elegant shoes which looked like they were for dancing. And there was something different about his face. He put his hand to his eyes, and felt a mask, which he promptly took off and stared at; it was black and gold with elegant designs curling around it. He put it back on slowly, perturbed.
And then a smile appeared, briefly, on his mouth.
"Fascinating," he muttered under his breath before turning around and walking towards the door which lead out into a beautiful garden.

Juliana finds the ball room, and her eyes widen, though you can't tell. The mask only leaves enough room for the eyes to seem like they're normal sized. There were couples dancing, and a piano, and string quartet playing with the pianist, and it was... something out of Juliana's fantasies! She hurried down the steps, her black ballet flats making no noise, eager to get closer to this all. A waiter offered her some sparkling champagne, and she took it with a grateful, "Thank you."
She sipped it as she wandered the perimeter of the floor, wishing she had a partner to dance with. She thought back to the times when she was little, and she would waltz with her large stuffed animals. It made her smile a little at how strange she had always been.
After watching them for a bit, she notices large doors, leading to a garden. She makes her way over to them and step into the nice air, her breath taken away by the beauty of the place. The thing that caught her attention the most was a vibrant red rose bush, and she rushed over to it.

Mina comes across a table full of food still in the garden. She iches her eyebrow and realises there is a mask on her face, she pulls it off and looks at it. The twisted vines makes her think of a room full of teens. " that is a very interesting concept." She puts it back on and takes a bite out of a small sandwich.
Jasper takes a sip out of his wiskey and trys to loose his head ache. * why me? why does god hate me?* he takes another sip *I need to sleep more.* he gets up and blindly wandered back in to his room and lays back down on his bed.

Valentine finally opened her crystal eyes when the gifted pianist stepped on the pedal, vibrating energy and emotion all throughout the flawless room. She slightly smiled to herself, praying that one day she would be as talented to at least be compared to that marvelous genius.
She made her way through the field of the dancing men and women. She stopped in front of a young waiter and gripped each side of her stunning dress. She bowed, trying to make a good first impression and fit into all of the sophisticated people that look as if they were lost in time, belonging in the fairy tales that her mother read to her as a child.
Valentine took a small, unique food off of his silver dish and popped it into her mouth. She smiled, tasting cherries and other fruits. "Thank you." She said as she turned away and headed towards the bench.

Juliana idly plays with one of the larger roses, a small smile on her face. "Whoever tends to you is a genius..." She tells the flowers, admiring their beauty. Then she gets up and brushes the dirt off her dress, and decides to take a walk around the large garden. *Maybe there'll be a sakura tree here?* She thinks hopefully. Roses and sakura were her two favorite plants in the world, but she had no idea why. Normally she hated the 'mainstream' things. But roses had a... thorny beauty. And sakura was... well, she couldn't explain that one at all. She hated all things pink, but the blossoms just... they spoke to her in some way.

Juliana's smile is a bit shaky, but she still grasps the other girl's hand. "I'm Juliana," she replies, extremely nervous and shy. She's never been good at meeting new people. She's proud of herself for not turning tail and running from this girl. Though she has to admit, she's a bit disappointed it wasn't a guy... She shook that thought away. *What guy would talk to me?*

Richard had reached the door leading out to the garden and stood there, gazing over the huge, exquisite sight in front of him. He turned around back to the ballroom, and took in the beauty of the room too. This was amazing. The beautiful room, the beautiful garden, the beautiful people. "Where am I?" he muttered, taken aback. It was amazing but so...alien. So foreign to his nature. He'd never attended big parties, preferring solitude, exclusion. But here he was. He stared around the room, looking for someone, anyone, to tell him what was going on.

Valentine sat back down on the golden bench and rubbed the back of her neck. She sighed, suddenly feeling out of place. It wasn't that she wasn't enjoying herself here, but she was feeling a bit homesick. She missed her messy, small apartment and the her white cat that she had raised from it's birth. Her friends and family, she had no idea where they were.
She fixed her dress and stood back up, putting on a brave, relaxed face.

"Oh, well I'll leave you to your thoughts," Juliana says, hurrying away. *Arhg, another chance to make a friend, down the toilet. Danggit!*
*This is your own fault, you know,* Daniella, her main character of the novel she was writing, commented. *You're the one who ran.*
Juliana twitched and sat on the nearest bench, clutching her head. "Get. Out," she hissed quietly. "I do not care that I haven't touched the story in a couple weeks. I haven't felt into it!" She new she was probably looking insane, and that it was lowering her odds even more, but she was so *tired* of her characters speaking to her.
*Oh, you know I can't do that. I'm here to stay.*

Juliana sits straight up, eyes wide, hands still clutching her hair. "Ack! Er... I'm Juliana... d-did you hear any of that...?" Her face is a bright red. Though she always liked talking to guys, she was always extremely embarrassed around them. And him coming *now* of all times made things ten times worse.
*And this is another reason,* Daniella pointed out.
*Shut UP!*
*And yet another.* Juliana could practically hear her character laughing at her. It pissed her off greatly.

Juliana sighs in relief, then nods, scooting over closer to the edge. There had been room before, but she always did it. It was a habit of hers to sit on the very opposite end of someone else. "Sure. It's not just my bench." She manages a small smile, but it's probably more freaky then anything, so she quickly stops.
*Smooooth, Juliana. Watch him run away screaming,* Daniella taunts.
This time, Juliana ignores her, even though she would love to yell at her. But she still threatens to kill off her love interest, Darien, if she didn't behave herself.
*N-no! Not him!*
*Then shut it.* With that out of the way, Juliana exams the flowers next to the bench. They're a variety she had never seen before, with an odd scent that tickled her nose.

D.J put out the campfire with a sizzle. She admired the setting sun before she entered the simple one person tent. She stretched lightly before she snuggled into her sleeping bag. She closed her eyes.
She awoke sitting on a bench. She was in sensory overload for a minute. The beautiful music, the bright lights, the occasional bouts of laughter were definitely not the forest she was used to. She looked around, people were dancing and dressed in fancy costumes. D.J looked down at her lap. There was a beautiful red and black laced dress with a low cut back that showed off her tattoo. Her long blonde hair was in a half up- half down style.
"Where am I?" she asked herself softly. She looked to side and saw a beautiful red and black, Mardi Gras style mask with red and black peacock feathers. She sat there delicately watching the festivities.

I know I'm not posting quickly, and I'm really sorry. My schoolwork is getting on top of me at the moment. I will post though, don't worry. And I'll attempt to make it as regular as I practically, possibly can!
Re: [OOC] Never-Ending Masquerade
Okay, the guy I'm describing in the RP right now really is one of the 'locals', not an actual 'taken', so he doesn't get a character sheet. XD
And he's just going to be used for this part, if the two decide to go through with the plan.
