Hugo sealed the envelopes, all orange with a black stamp on the front making them look like paper jack-o-lanterns. He smiled and waved his hands and the envelopes disappeared. One for every living guest he had ever entertained at the Mansion, no matter how long or shot the visit. Soon each of them would find the envelope with an invitation to a party unlike any Hugo had ever thrown. Halloween was always a favorite of his. It was a time of year where he could let his true self show, and have a little fun. This year is wife even returned from her studies in magic abroad, and the two of them decided that a little fun was in order.
"Oh Hugo, those were lovely invitations." Anna said with a smile as she rubbed her husbands shoulders.
"I hope they all come. It'd be nice to see some old faces." he said looking up at her. "Each one had a small key that if placed in their own door, would lead them here, and they are welcome to stay as long as they see fit."

LORD HUGO AND THE PROSPERIO FAMILY CORDIALLY INVITE YOU TO THE MANSION MASQUERADE.
Simply use the key to return to the Mansion, and the party will continue as long as you are here. Costumes welcomed and encouraged.

(This thread will serve as the main thread for this event. If side stories emerge, guests are encouraged to create new threads that spin off from this one. Let's celebrate Halloween in style, my friends!)

Bob brooded as he sat in an airport lobby. The trip he'd been looking forward to, even bragged about to Jess & Minda, was now canceled due to severe weather grounding his flight. He'd been looking forward to exploring the Hoia Baciu forest in Romania since his group had authorized the trip in August. As he reached into his bag for a snack his hand bumped into something he hadn't packed. Pulling it out he found an envelope, with something weighing it down a bit.
Bob opened the envelope and was surprised to find a key and an invitation. "Guess that explains how it got in my bag." He said to himself reading the invitation over. "Well since my plans are sunk may as well surprise the girls." He smiled, figuring Jess & Minda had gotten invitations as well. He grabbed his bag as he got up and headed for the nearest door. Bob looked around to make sure he was clear, walking up to a door once he was and inserted the key. Turning it & opening the door Bob disappeared inside, finding himself in the room the Prosperio's kept for him. "Hopefully my Link costume is still in the closet." He smiled, tossing his bag on the bed and heading for his closet.

Ellie almost fell over as the door swung open into a new room. It was relatively empty, save for some simple furnishings as well as the bag and sketchbook that the girl had left behind in the television room. She looked at the shining key in her hand and shook her head. This place was still far too odd. She closed the door behind her, locking it for a moment before she went over to her bed.
The sketchbook was laying open with the invitation sitting on top of the girl's latest doodle. She brushed aside the invitation to continue her drawing.
"What would I even wear to a masquerade anyways?" she asked aloud as she continued to work on the portrait she had been sketching. The woman was far from wearing normal clothing, she was in an outfit far more fit for the cabaret, or a burlesque performance than for everyday wear. It was things like this that Ellie enjoyed drawing most, things that would be out of the ordinary. After a while she put the pencil down and sighed, rolling over onto her back. thinking about the very few people she had met so far, and what little she had done.
"I suppose there are enough things in this place I could find something to wear," she muttered to herself as she stood up and wandered to the closet in the room. She opened it, expecting to find nothing, but was quite surprised to see a hanger with a garment cover just hanging in the closet, as well as a few boxes on the top shelf. She slowly unzipped the cover and stepped back, seeing something oddly familiar.
"What the hell?" she asked, as she looked back at her bed, only to see the invitation had disappeared and the page she had been drawing on was blank. She frowned and looked back at the outfit, still hanging in the closet. "There is no way I can go out in that...but I can't really wear this either."
She continued to open the garment cover and unveiled the full outfit,. As a corset, cropped jacket, skirt and bustle combination it was certainly a show-stopper. She continued on to the boxes, finding a pair of simple stiletto heels, black opera gloves, and a top hat, complete with a mesh fringe like you would find on a pill box hat. The girl couldn't help but laugh, and decided that it was Halloween after all. If she was going to be handed a costume on a silver platter, why not wear it?

Bob pulled down on his red tunic, making sure it looked right. "There, all ready for the party...well almost." He said, grabbing a hylian shield he'd found in the closet. "I'll have to thank whoever left this for me." He smiled, using its strap to put the shield on over his back. When he went to check the invitation for which room would have the party he found it gone, but the key was still on the bed. "Hmmm...lets see if you only lead to my room." He said, grabbing the key and inserting it into the door. Turning the key & opening the door revealed a large room with people finishing up getting the room all set up. "Oh hi observer." He heard a familiar voice say. "Noemi?" He said, turning toward a figure walking toward him. "Yep." She smiled, walking up so he could see her. The nerdy maid was dressed up to look like Hinata from Naruto, even wearing contacts for the eyes.

Paulo was working on his job, when he received this invitation for a Halloween party. As Brazilian, he's not too much for Halloween, but anyway a party is a way for having fun. He waits for their work day end, then he uses the key into his bedroom's door and enters, knowing he was back on the Mansion, in a small room. He looks for the closet and opens it, looking the costumes: many clown costume, a skunk fursuit and a Strawberry Shortcake costume that he used a time and had lots of fun. "I think that will be fun be Strawberry Shortcake again." I say, smiling, undressing myself and putting the suit, made of plush, the stress with strawberry motives, a little pair of red Mary James and the wig with the bonnet. "Okay... I don't think I'll be Strawberry Shortcake again, but anyway will be fun." I say, getting out to the Mansion living room

Hugo donned his outfit for the party, a spooky variation on his usual pinstripe suit. The suit was black, the stripes orange. He also put on a large cape with a high collar like one might see in a Dracula movie. He walked out into the hall and saw several familiar faces. Smiling ear to ear, he walked into the main lobby, and ran into Bob.
"Hello there...Link" he said amused.

"Hmm...Oh hey Hugo." Bob smiled, turning his attention from the maid to the mansions owner. "Let me guess, you're dressed up as Dracula or a classic vampire right?"

I just walk around, setting the things and trying to find something funny. Then I look the Link guy and the Dracula one.

"Not really dressed up as anything in particular. Just a festive version of my usual attire." Hugo said. "Although Dracula is quite the snappy dresser. I'd have invited him, but I am not sure he'd be able to resist having some blood."

"Good point." Bob said before noticing Noemi had gone to check on some decorations. "Doesn't look like too many guests have arrived yet." He said, looking around before noticing someone dressed as Strawberry Shortcake.

You see my u costume has mittens, not gloves. "Looks everyone is doing other things. Sorry about this costume, but I think it would be funny trying this kind of costume one time. "

Ellie finished dressing after a struggle here and a struggle there. Lacing a corset by oneself was difficult enough, wearing the entire outfit was an adventure all its own. Standing straight and tall, the girl felt odd. She had expected to be a bit awkward in such an extravagant and eccentric outfit, but instead she felt confident, empowered almost. She went to grab her sketchbook but hesitated, deciding to leave it behind. She was going to socialize whether she wanted to or not. It was a party, not a library.
The dark haired girl slipped out of the room, adjusting her top hat and began to wander in the direction she thought was the lobby.

"No problem. It definitely looks funny." Bob said. "Hopefully more will make it to the party."
As she headed down the hallway a guy in a Phantom of the Opera costume stepped out of a room. "So much for hanging out at Loren's club." He said, not quite noticing Ellie.
