2015 Winter Ball
By: Matteus Date: December 19, 2015, 1:15 pm

The first noticeable ornament when stepping into the venue is a
flamboyant chandelier hanging from the ceiling, the amethyst hue
it adopted, influencing the ambience. Around its centerpiece you
could make out crystals in shapes that looked like frozen
droplets and flakes, fitting with the winter theme. It stood
above the dance floor, the floor itself covered with little
pieces of star cut-outs, shining like snow.
Winter truly was here.
The stage is even more spectacular. The stairs that leads up to
it glows, pink, then white, pink, then white. At each side,
stands two tall boulders, and above them, sat an Archangel
statue. The boulders reflected the same light as the stairs,
only, there wasn’t a change in the colour, it stayed white. On
the stage itself, there were lamps situated along the front,
each a few feet from each-other, casting a light shadow
everywhere else. Behind the stage, white drapes fall, and on it
are christmas lights, in three colours; white; light cerulean;
and lavender. A wall of lights.
Christmas was truly here, too.

Razie looked around the room and smiled. Sho was amazing with
decorations. It had come together so well. Now the call was made
to open the doors early, everything running ahead of schedule.
Razie tossed her red hair over her shoulder and turned on the
music. First a melody of classical music but would play many
other genres of music throughout the night.
This was it. She instructed the caterers to get started and out
on the floor, grabbing a glass of white wine as one ran by.
Her fingers ran over the blue puffy material of her dress.
Across her chest a gemmed strap. Light Blue peek toe pumps
sticking out from underneath her dress. Truly it felt like she
hit the winter theme.

The air was crisp and cool although Kira didn't seem to mind it.
She was entered the ball room, the decorations left her in awe.
"Oh wow! Look at how pretty everything looks!" She squealed
grabbing Xam by his sleeve and dragging him in.
Her gown was red and hung down to the floor, a black corset on
the outside of the gown allowed her figure to show. The dress
was held up by thin straps and across her shoulders was a furry
pelt made of artic fox. Black gloves kept her arms warm. Around
her neck was the necklace Xam had given her when she first met
him. Her long red hair was straighf and was pushed over her left
shoulder. Her lips decorated with red lipstick and gloss, and
her blue eyes shown through the black and gray smokey eye
shadow.
Her pale face looked at Xam as she turned to adjust his tie for
him. "Ready?"

A smile etched onto the King's face, a brilliant display of
blues and yellows swirling in his everchanging eyes. It was rare
that he and Essie ever got the chance to get away from the chaos
that was their life and simply enjoy being young! He had
inherited his Kingdom far too early, and was excited for the
opportunity to leave it and enjoy himself, if only for one
night. As the carriage arrived, and the driver opened the door
for the two of them, he helped Essie out of the cabin before
offering her his arm for their approach.
His attire was much different than he was accustomed to. Black
slacks, and a black blazer. A simple white shirt and a hat to
match it all. It was far from flashy, but he liked it! Perhaps
he would look into Western fashion once they returned home!
He felt they may have been a bit early. Royals were always
fashionably late, after all. But in these lands, they were not
Royals; Simply two twenty year old kids on a date! It could be
fun to avoid protocol, just this once! "Are you ready?" He asked
his bride-to-be, before he opened the door, allowing her to walk
in first, as he enjoyed the view of the gorgeous dress that she
had been given specifically for this occasion. This would be a
night to remember!

She wrung her hands as they approached the venue. Her nerves
were on edge despite having attended numerous occasions in the
past. Still young enough to be considered a child, Essie's
responsibilities surpassed her age, and most times, wisdom and
maturity. It was in her nature to be reserved and silent, but it
was difficult to do that when the spotlight always shone on her,
illuminating the good along with any bad no matter how hard she
attempted to shield it. Essie smoothed out her dress and gave
Jasper and sideways glance. His attire was simple, yet on him,
it looked amazing. Next to him, any other would pale. The fact
brought a small smile to her face. He suited his title.
Before he opened her door, she stole one last glance in the
mirror, checking to ensure that all the makeup and jewelry was
in place. Then, the door opened and she snapped the mirror shut
and took a breath before stepping out. Her heels emitted soft
'clicks' against the ground as she got out and looped an arm
through Jasper's. The touch, in spite of how subtle it was,
instantly put her at ease. She nodded and flashed him a shy
smile.
"Yes, m'love," she whispered in response.
Dark lashes cast coy shadows along her green eyes, making them
all the more alluring in the dim lighting. She gave him one last
look of adoration before continuing forward.

Much in the way that Jasper's touch soothed Essie's nerves, her
voice did the same for him. More often than not, it was the
voice of reason. But more importantly, it was the voice of
someone who cared for him unconditionally. That was something
that was hard to find. As he opened the door for her, he peered
into the ballroom, and the yellow in his eyes grew more
prominant. The decorations were simple, yet exotic. The hints of
ice that accented the chandelier were absolutely brilliant!
Perhaps they could make use of the idea in the coming Winter
back home!
Many people were just arriving. Jasper glanced around at the
different faces. They seemed familar, and yet unfamiliar all at
the same time. It was a nice feeling. Once inside, he took Essie
by the hand and they made their way to a table. "It feels
different being at a party where the focus isn't on us, doesn't
it?" He said with a smile. "I like it!" He looked up at the
stage. There was to be some sort of coronation later in the
Evening, though he was unsure of the details. "Would you like a
drink?" He asked his date. He noticed a punch bowl over against
the wall that people were serving themselves from. This
certainly was an interesting place!

She grabbed another drink and handed over her empty one. This
was so exciting watching people file in and kick the night off
to a start. She sips at her wine and nods to the caterers as
they walk by. She almost walked to the king and queen that had
entered but she didn't know what royal customs were. At least if
they didn't get king and queen they would still leave a king and
queen.
Time to kick this party up. She went over to the music and
selected some more upbeat dance music and turned the lights down
a little. Then she kicked off her pumps off and walked out to
the middle of the floor wiggling around to the beat and dancing.
Maybe it would look fun and people would join.

The woman's lower lip protruded slightly more than her upper,
unknowingly granting her with an air of seduction, as she looked
around the room astounded by the decor. She felt the sudden urge
to reach out and stroke the ice sculptures with broken rays of
light penetrating their transparent bodies, but she restrained
herself, knowing that the encounter would be too cold for
comfort. The dazzling lights transformed the simple venue into
an extravagant piece of fantasy within their beautiful reality.
In the midst of all majesty, her favorite out of everything was
the archangel statue. She made a mental note to notify the
castle decorator to find a sculpture to make one for her.
"It feels great." Essie beamed as she said it with all the
sincerity she could muster. She glanced around the room, her
eyes filtering through the unfamiliarity of the place and
people, looking for no one and nothing in particular. "Punch
sounds great."
As they made their way to the table, she took advantage of their
placement here away from the spotlight, and gave his behind a
gentle squeeze as she went to straighten her dress. Without
looking at him, she tried to hide the growing smirk by
pretending to be captivated with the delicious looking treats
and drinks.
"Everything just looks so..." she stopped to ponder on several
words for a moment before settling on one, "enchanting."

Xamphere slowly followed in behind Kira who seemed much more
excited about the ball. As she adjusted his tie for him he
groaned out in a sense of distaste for how tight she made the
thin fabric. Nodding in reply to her words only to readjust the
fabric as she turned away from him; pulling the tie further from
his neck to relax himself more. "Yeah. Yeah. Ready as I can
get." With that he walked forward next to her; slipping his arm
into her own as his hand moved down into her own. Interlocking
their fingers as they made their way to the table. Looking down
to admire the table before turning to look to Kira. "Well I
guess this would be our seat." He quickly released her before
pulling her seat out for her; flashing her a kind smile.
Slipping his own out before taking his seat with ease.
((It's short because the computer is being a royal ass))

Kira giggled and took her seat that Can pulled out for her,
"such a gentleman." She ran her hand over the gorgeous table
cloth before her eyes roamed the room, the dim lighting excited
her more and she looked to the girl dancing in the beautiful
blue gown. "That looks fun!" Although her attention was then
taken by the two who looked just as foreign as she did. They
did, although, give off a certain elegant radiance. "Everyone
looks so beautiful!" Kira crossed her legs the leftover the
right an watched, "I think I want a drink. Something nice, maybe
wine. Would you like a drink Xammy after all this is a party!
You should let loose and have fun! After a drink I think I will
join the woman dancing."
