Masquerade Ball - Totally not an ambush
Who: Anyone going to the Corsair Island Masquerade Ball!
Where: ...IDK?
When: April 26th - 27th (Early AM)
What: The Masquerade Ball + Ambush (12am)
Warnings: D for dancing, V for violence, A for Ace, L for Luffy
Style: Action or prose.

There are going to be two main threads. One for the ball itself and the other for the Ambush! There will be an obligatory third thread for FASHION. Just remember to tag your muse in the subject header and OTA or 'Closed to ???' as you comment.

OTA
Ikki doesn't wander the place much, he spends some time at the lobby before moving to the ball room to play the role of a wallflower when he's not somehow roped into talking with someone. He's really not the socialite type, fortunately he's not the only one neither it's rare for someone who didn't really enjoy those events to be obligated to go due formalities, which is to what he sticks when asked.]
no subject
[Marco doesn't say a thing as he quietly hands Ikki a rum and cola. Drink it dude, you look as stiff as most of the marines, gosh.]
no subject
Remind me why coming to the ball part was better than waiting outside.
no subject
[Marco has to think on a code word for that though.]
So you can learn something.
no subject
[But he knows that Marco's right, information is important and they all have to do their best to get something. Though he honestly doubts that some of the Spades are even going to remember what they are supposed to do during the first part of the ball. Even after the forum Ace called for and where he exposed the full of the plans.]
You know that those social gatherings have never been my thing. My place's the battlefield, I didn't join for honours or rank, those aren't going to stop those bastards from killing children and attacking islands.
[Of course he means Isla Empieza and Kairi, not innocent nameless children all around the world and islands assaulted by pirates. But no one needs to know that and he has to play the part, hopefully he's doing it well enough.]

[He takes another sip. Had Saori been there she probably would have been able to milk everything from everyone already, or come close to. This kind of thing was really her natural habitat, no matter how hard she tried.]
You seem to be more comfortable than what I expected.

[A soft chuckle.]
no subject
Aren't you a little excited too?
no subject
[He casts a glance around casually.]
They sure did a great job with decorations and all.
no subject
[The whole discussion about Mars is still weighing on him, and enough that even he can't hide it all. He nods though.] Not bad at least, but there's a lot of royalty here so they went all out.
no subject
[This time his tone is even lower almost just a mutter, as he disguises it with taking a sip from his drink. He smirks after that, focusing on Marco again.]
I bet that you have a full dance card for tonight, don't you?
no subject
Guilty, yoi.
This kind of thing is like a battlefield, but with lesser stakes and greater rewards.
no subject
[No, really, how is this like a battlefield. Little brother is confused.]
no subject
no subject
[Though eventually it will boil down to that. As soon as Ace gives the signal. His eyes wander around apparently though he mostly does so to check if Ace is still not giving the signal.
At this rate Ikki will end punching someone just because Ace lifted his hand to wave or something.]
no subject
[BUT HE CANNOT EVEN HIDE HOW AMUSED HE IS. Damn it Ikki you are like, the best bro. Where have you been all his life?]
no subject
Yes, with slight variations but still the same. It's a certified fool-proof strategy, guaranteed to work every time, why would I change it?
[It basically boils down to:
Is it someone/thing you can kill without remorse?
- Yes -> Is it someone/thing that can die?
{
-- Yes -> Burn/punch them until they die
-- No -> Burn/punch them until that changes and they die
}
- No -> Yell at them until they do what you want them to do]
no subject
[BRO.]
[BRO.]
[Bro, plz.]
[No wonder Ikki doesn't get along with Athena as well as he could.]
You're the type to hunt rabbits with a cannon, eh?
One day remind me to teach you how to use greater finesse. Saves you a lot of energy and work, eh.

[Hello, morose-looking but sharply-dressed fellow idling by the wall--hope you weren't planning on staying hidden in this little corner, because the masked woman strolling away from the table of hors d'oeuvres sees you and your fancy suit and she wants to talk to you.]
I would ask if you're having a good time, but...
no subject
Indeed, high class parties aren't a dish I'm used to. But I hope that my humour doesn't foil your own enjoyment of the night, madam.
[Pirates or not, Ikki's sure of one thing. By the end of the night he's going to want to cut his own tongue just to get rid of the awful taste that having to fake gallantries and a speech that isn't his gives him.]
no subject
What--in such a dashing suit? I don't think you could foil anyone's evening.
no subject
You flatter me, madam, but thank you. I hope you won't find me as too rude if I confess that your dress looks lovely on you, it's simplicity is refreshing among so many cluttered ones.
no subject
Now, do you mean that, or are you still buttering up those high-class dishes you're not used to, so to speak?
