Kadeu, Joker, Highranker’s Ball

31 December 2020, Evening

Drink in hand, Hyeonju strolled through the crowd, keeping eyes peeled for faces he had no desire to greet. He’d already met one and he figured that was enough for one night. He took in the gowns and suits, humming in admiration at some, silently scoffing at others. He greeted a handful of familiar people, customers and acquaintances. He had just finished one round around the grand ballroom when he spotted a woman in a gorgeous, backless gown. Her back was to him and so he was free to gape at the raised scar that raked down the woman’s back. It made Hyeonju’s still tender wounds seem like playground scratches. Wonder what the story behind that is…

The woman turned her head and Hyeonju’s eyes widened in surprise. A story, indeed. He hadn’t seen Ms. Moon since he fixed her locket, but he had seen her off with a changed perception of her. It wasn’t everyday Hyeonju found himself respecting a Diamond. Which meant he may have been a bit concerned—but also very nosy.

“Ms. Moon,” he greeted with a polite bow and smile. “It’s been some time. I hope your locket is still in good condition?” He took a sip of his drink and inquired about something not at all to do with her injury. He did have manners, after all. “I heard your role for the upcoming Palace play.” He offered a genuine disapproving frown. “Something is wrong with the Palace owner’s head, not giving you the main role. Regardless, I look forward to any role you take on. You’ve always had a talent for making a character take flight.” Wow, how long has it been since I cracked a pun like that. Hyeonju smiled in humor.

HIGHRANKER’S BALL;

While the dregs gather in their lackluster attempts at festivity, high society does the season right! Expected in the colors of the season: red, gold and silver; highrankers gather at the Joker to show unity and charity during Yeon Nen. Faction issues are to be tossed aside while they dance within the fabricated crystal ballroom, heated and away from the cold. 

Only the lowranked pretend to be merry while shivering. 

Attendees are asked to bring gifts to add to the toy drive to show the deep consideration they have for Kadeu’s young and underprivileged. As this event is sponsored by The Deck, there is a bar as well as hors d’oeuvres being served by midrankers of every faction. The guest list, carefully curated to only include those ranked eight and above, also comes with a five gold entry fee that serves as a barrier to entry for most midrankers who aren’t serving.

While the first drink of the night is free, all after that must be paid for. In paltry silvers, but paid for none the less. 

DETAILS;

A crystal ballroom has been erected at the joker. Guests can delight in seeing the snow fall as they dance within the pyramid shaped structure, safe and warmed. This event begins at 21:00 ( 9PM ) on 31 December 2020. It should be noted that while gifting to the toy drive isn’t explicitly required, the most common question at this event is ‘what gift did you bring’. Hearts in particular like to use their gifts as demonstrations of their wealth.

YEON NEN | HIGHRANKER’S BALL

Lady Luck, Sayge Kō will be attending the Ball fashionably late as she had to care for injuries she suffered days previous to Yeon Nen. She arrives in a silver low cut gown. With no restriction in colors to wear on this event as it’s not of importance to her kin, she has been free to choose the shades that would wrap her. The sparkle of the sleeveless garment encrusted with small crystals lets everyone know the wealth she represents (and may grant if in a good mood, but she does not anticipate this to happen for the festivities). Resting on her shoulders, she has a coat embroidered with the same gemstone her gown has, to protect her from the cold weather the Winter Ball is embracing before stepping into the ballroom. Down her cleavage lies a silver and crystal necklace gifted to her by her grandfather when she first crossed the portal to Kadeu, a piece of jewelry she holds close to her heart. Her signature makeup has a twist of grey for her sharp eyeliner, and her lips are painted red as always. Silver headpiece rests on top of her immaculate back hair kept down for her own comfort in this occasion, fringe untouched.

For the children, Sayge gifted Magical Music Boxes. Made of ceramic and silver, with handpainted Koi fish on top with a hue of blue. As a child holds the box in their hands and plays the soft melody, they make a wish and pray for good fortune. The box will accumulate the pleas and grant good fortune once the child is old enough to receive the touch of Lady Luck with wealth and prosperity. (Wealth can be collected at the Casinos when they are of age.)
