Invitations have gone out

[atoberex]

For my Masqued Ball in two weeks. If you do not have anything to wear, something will be provided. Fancy dress, lace is optional (for some of you), masks are a must. Food will be provided as will music. The music will start with waltzes and the like, segueing up through the years as the night progresses. If you do not know how to waltz or do the Charleston, think Jazz hands are good enough, or think bump and grind is the height of modern dance...then you should arrive early, there will be lessons.

See you all there.

For whom is lace mandatory?

[atoberex]

Not you, don't worry. Though a hint at your cuffs and a bit on your mask would suit you well.

[tezukamarilyn]

I will just wear my suit, thank you.

[atoberex]

Very well. But I am sending you a black shirt to wear with it. Trust me, it will look fabulous. Be grateful I don't send Taki...

I'm more than happy to come, and honestly I'm looking forward to it, but I think for everyone's safety, I should probably stick to observing the dancing. Wouldn't want to trip anyone with a crutch, you know?

[atoberex]

Very well. But just this time. I expect by my next ball for you to be back out on the dance floor.

[ikemen_garden]

I look forward to being back on the dance floor, I assure you!

[atoberex]

I'm sure I will be having another in the future. Feel free to dance then.

[somewhereibelong]

Uh... up through the ages? You sure about that? Because by the time it gets to current dance styles... everyone is gonna be twerking and the whip!

[atoberex]

They're going to be doing what?

None of that. No.

[somewhereibelong]

Well... the 80's would have the running man... the 90's would have big fish and little fish... and the 00's would have twerking... So unless you stop at a decent year we're gonna end up the night looking really weird!

Though sayin that, there're people I'd pay good money to watch twerk!

[gladiolusinpurple]

Oh, I think I'll somehow find something to wear. Looking forward to this!

[atoberex]

I trust there will be lace?

[gladiolusinpurple]

You can always trust me, Atobe-kun ♥

[kobanemperor]

So, I should leave mid-way, is what you're saying.

[atoberex]

At least three quarters. The slide up the years won't happen immediately.

[damagedviolin]

It sounds like a lot of fun, Keigo-san! Chopin will wear a mask, too!

[atoberex]

I look forward to it. I trust he will save me a dance?

[damagedviolin]

I'm sure he will! Will you save me one?

[gekidazejanai]

If my parents can watch the kidlet that night, I will be there. Otherwise, how welcome would a three and a half year old be?

[atoberex]

You're back in Japan, then? Have no fear, there will be a nanny available. Bring my delightful niece in fancy dress, please. She and the other children will be changed and put to bed later, but I'm certain the exposure to culture will enrich their lives.

[gekidazejanai]

Kind of amazed my left ear isn't bleeding from her shrieking in it because she gets to wear her Elsa dress to a fancy party now. And of course I'm back, I have to start getting ready for the new job. I start as soon as the enclosures are completed and the wolves are out of quarantine.

[theprodigalbuchou]

From the waltz to bumping and grinding? How interesting~

[atoberex]

I like offering a selection of options. However think of it as less bump and grind and a bit more rhythmic gyrations.

[theprodigalbuchou]

I never thought I would live to see the day where Atobe Keigo said "rhythmic gyrations" to me~
