Where: First floor, ballroom.
When: 01/21, from about 9:00 PM on.
Rating: r;
Summary: Formal ball.












[The ballroom's vaulted ceilings are taller than is possible within the realms of reality, and towering, wide windows let in sunlight during the day; at night, chandeliers and wall sconces light up with so many candles, it's hard to believe the light isn't from an electric source.

There are lights strung up around the entrance to the ballroom, and music can be heard playing from within. At the door, Vanessa, with the assitance of the lovely William Whele, will be waiting to meet as many guests as they can. They'll hand each person a small silver box with one of these gifts inside; Wonderland's sense of humor is evident here.]



[Tables line every side of the ballroom, a carefully organized plate setting at each chair with little trays of cookies placed here and there.

One table, set center, is piled high with desserts, Ned's pies, hors d'oeuvres brought by Dr. Lecter, and all manner of food provided by Tohru, Seta, and the diner staff, as well as assistance from Calista, Rebekah, Evelyn, and Lydia. There are numerous drinks available, champagne (thanks to Kol), and liquor, beer, fruit punch, among other beverages, thanks to the closets.]

[Thank you cards will be slipped under the doors of Rebekah Mikaelson, Kol Mikaelson, Tohru Honda, Evelyn O'Connell, William Whele, Hannibal Lecter, Calista, Seta Souji, and Lydia Martin the following day as a way of Vanessa showing gratitude for all of their help.]

"Haha, don't worry, I won't! It didn't taste good. I couldn't find any regular water."

Don't feel too bad, Wirt. Greg kind of stole the champagne while no one was looking. He was really thirsty--actually he's still really thirsty.

"I'm okay! I'm thirsty, though. Let's eat pie! Wirt, do you know how to do the waltzing? Everyone is doing the waltzing but I don't know how, and it seems kind of boring. It's just stepping around in a circle."

Wirt shrugs.

"That's kind of what waltzing is? I mean, I don't know how to do it and I'd never do something like that anyway, but...that's kind of it. You step around in a circle with someone, while a bunch of other couples are doing the same thing."

Which is admittedly a little silly, but it's not any sillier than any of the dancing Greg was doing with his frog.

"C'mon. I'm pretty sure I saw fruit punch somewhere," he says. "Let's get you something to drink. We can worry about pie later."

Getting Greg something non-alcoholic to drink should probably be their first priority.
