Located in scenic, Dracula's Castle, the Sokkla Masquerade Ball is starting tonight.
It was a dark and foreboding night. The sky was black with barely a moon visible, as outside a pair of figures met outside two tall, imposing, wrought-iron gates.
"So you got a note too?" Sokka asked, eyeing the girl next to him.
"Yes, apparently this must be someone's idea of a joke," Azula answered, looking down at the paper in her hand.
"Well, who would tell both of us to come here?" Sokka asked, scratching the back of his head in confusion.
The gates suddenly creaked open, and a pathway lit up all the way to the door of the abandoned castle.
"Soooo...you want to check out this...'masquerade ball'?" Sokka asked, turning to look at her with a slight grin.
"Hmm..." Azula looked thoughtful as she weight the pros and cons of the situation. "Why not? It's a good way to kill an evening."
"Wow, that was OOC of you to say," Sokka remarked.
"And it's OOC of you to be asking your enemy on a date," Azula answered back.
"Ah, touche."
Walking down the path to the entrance, they pushed open the entrance stepped inside...

Daydream walked through the halls of the dark castle, the rustle of her silk gown whispering through the empty passageways as she moved. The crimsom floor-length dress hid simple black heels beneath the flared skirt, which slimmed as it ascended to her waist. Her shoulder-length hair had been curled into submission, though she knew it'd be a straight, frizzy mess before the party was over...
Her heels clacked as she moved on, mask clutched in one hand. The ruby edges gleamed in the dim light the torches offered, the golden paint of the rest of it blended in effortlessly. The dark feathers tickled her cheeks as she placed it on. In front a hallway mirror she slicked on a coat of lip gloss and twirled one last curl before breathing deeply.
"Time to shine," she whispered before entering a large hall. It was empty, save for a simple music booth in one corner, tables of food and drinks, and beautiful strands of twinkling lights hung every which way in the room. The voices of two individuals, one male and one female, gradually became louder as they came closer. Daydream glanced around her, and finding a room adjacent to the hall, swiftly fled into it.
No sooner than she escaped did the couple enter the hall. The guy, she noted, took a sharp intake of breath while the woman grumbled. She smiled.

kaibasgirl stepped inside the hall and looked around, glomping daydream when she saw her.
"Yes! I'm not the first one here!" She exclaimed happily. She looked around the lavishly decorated room and arched a brow. Leaning in she whispered to daydream, "You know, for a creepy castle that's supposedly haunted, it looks pretty nice. Huh, and I thought we would be dueling vampires and running for our lives." She pouts, but then brightens up when she sees Sokka and Azula standing around like two statues.
"Hey," she says in a conspiratorial whisper. "What do you say we have some...fun."

( daydream11: I wish I could come up with something as detailed as that) A second man walked in with medium brown skin,black,wavy,shiny hair, and a air of excitedness. He was curious to see who would be here this early in the night, seeing as he did not hear a single note of music playing. His masquerade mask, handcrafted by some of the finest mask makers in the world, had a touch of Egyptian and a Native American look to go be balanced out with black diamonds. The face was crafted to give off the impression of quiet intelligence. The tall man saw 4 people already here, divided into 2 couples, three female, one male not including himself. The male/female couple seemed to have been forced to come to the ball, they obviously did not feel comfortable with each other, but he saw a hint of childlike curiousity in their eyes. The other two women were quietly conversing while looking at the couple, seemingly to be conspiring against them. The man, named LiveInThaskyE, SkyE for short, quietly sat down to observe the scene for awhile...

MJ walked into the hall, overhearing this conversation between Kai and Daydream. Not being able to resist, she walked right over to Kai with a smirk. "What do you have in mind?"
Of course, MJ had a few ideas up her sleeve, but being as she just joined this conversation uninvited, she thought she'd let Kai do the honors of opening le can of 'fun'. Still smirking, MJ crossed her arms, and glanced over at the couple before looking back at Kai and Daydeam, waiting for the mischief to begin.

RB wandered into the dark castle, lost as heck and not entirely sure of what was going on, just that it had something to do with Sokkla and a ship bash. She jumped a little as something scurried through the shadows, shivering before rushing over to Daydream and the others.
"Hey, guys, what's up?" She rubbed her arms, trying to soothe herself. "What are we planning to do tonight with Sokka and Azula?"

(Skye: Comes from years of practice and English teachers telling me to tone down the detail! XD Thanks, hun.)
"Kaiba, the way you said that was totally creepy. But I agree, let's!" She hugged both her, RadiantBeam, and MsJimmy in welcome, the cherry blossom perfume she wore filling the space around them. "But what do you have in mind?" A mischievous smile crossed her face.

kaibasgirl looked up and practically glomped MJ to death.
"Oh em gee! You made it!" she yelled, and then saw MJ turning blue so she quickly let go. Then she hugged RB, but not as hard, and saw SkyE sitting around and motioned for him to come over and join in the conspiring.
"Okay, so I was thinking we could lead them to Dracula's room, they say it's supposed to be the most haunted part of the castle, well, maybe besides the dungeons. Anyway, we could totally leave them there, and watch them try to battle it out with the ghosts and vampires and stuff until morning!"
She saw everyone give her extremely blank stares.
"Or we could just totally embarrass them, whatever you guys want," she muttered, crossing her arms.

"Well, uh..." RB stumbled over words. "Well... what can we do that won't make Azula kill us right off the bat?"
Somewhere in the mansion, Azula suddenly sneezed; Sokka yelped and nearly jumped a mile, his trusty boomerang pulled free. The Fire Nation Princess rolled her eyes and shook her head, rubbing her nose with the back of her hand.
"Uh... you okay?" Sokka asked after a moment.
An awkward pause. Azula sighed.
"Someone must be talking about me."

Daydream giggled. "The latter, Kaiba dear, because we can't have our honored guests scared out of their minds." She motioned towards said couple, who were standing together in one corner of the room, but hardly acknowledging the other. "They already look frightened enough!"

SkyE, seeing more newcomers to the ball, watched as they all quickly came together and continued, in undertones, speaking and taking quick glances at Sokka and Azula. He truly wondered what the hell they were planning.

This time, both Sokka and Azula sneezed. Azula growled, looking around with a dangerous gleam in her golden eyes.
"Okay, someone's talking about both of us..." she growled.
RB winced. "I don't know, guys, she looks pretty ticked..."

"Oh fine," kaibasgirl thought for a minute, than brightened. "Okay, let's get them high on cactus juice and see what happens!"

MJ looked over at Azula after hearing RB's comment. Her eyes widened "O.o... uh yeah, I agree RB...."
MJ got scared that Azula would fry her if she messed with her, so she slowly scooted out of the group and walked over to Skye, who seemed innocently safe without all the scheming.

"Doesn't she always?" Daydream replied sweetly. The sapphires on her mask sparkled as she turned toward the other two. "But um, Kaiba... we'll save the cactus juice for later."
"How about putting on some music and making it obvious that no one will dance until they do? It's fairly easy and can result in many a situation."
