Open starter for Cupid’s Curse: A Masquerade Ball

Join the fun!

It seemed redundant, wearing a mask overtop a borrowed face, Jaqen thought, tightening the ribbon that kept his creation of black and white securely fastened. Layers upon layers of deceit. But wasn’t that the way of these Southron nobles? Not that their masks were hiding much. 

The most elaborate masks were worn by those from the most powerful houses, and in just about every case, the colours of the masks identified the heraldry of its wearer, anyway. The servants wore simpler masks, but they were still decorated in colours identifying the house they served.

His own mask was also adorned in his House’s colours, though he doubted that many people in Westeros would be able to guess the origins. He knew more about their people than they did about his, and that was just fine with him.

It shouldn’t be too difficult to find his contact. Or his target, for that matter. A quick job, he hoped, in and out with only a bit of blood left in his wake. These nobles would probably be thrilled - for what was a masquerade ball without a little spilled blood?

Senses honed from years of training told him someone was watching him. He turned and met the gaze of his masked observer.

“What are the chances that a man should run into exactly the person he was looking for?” he said with a jaunty bow.

“VALAR MORGHULIS”

All men must die.

“VALAR DOHAERIS”

All men must serve.

A man is no one.

“Did you really think hiding your cheek bones was going to fool anyone?” “Do I…know you?” “Have we met before?” “Are you sure I don’t know you?” “Your eyes are absolutely captivating.” “I don’t think we’ve met yet.” “May I have this dance?” “You look positively enchanting this evening.” “I’d know those dazzling eyes anywhere.” “These skirts make it so hard to move.” “Some of these costumes are so extravagant. They must have cost a fortune.” “You look quite ravishing in that dress.” “You look quite handsome in that suit.” “Can I see your face?” “I don’t think you want to see my face.” “My God, you could fit an entire circus under her pannier. How’d she even fit through the door?” “Champagne?” “My feet are killing me.” “I never thought I’d see you in something so fancy.” “I feel like I’m rubbing elbows with the queen right now.” “Care to sneak away with me? I doubt we will be missed.” “Can you guess who I am under here?” “I’d compliment your beauty, but I can’t see it under there. You’ll have to accept my compliments to your mask instead, it’s quite lovely.” “I can’t hear you through that mask. Did you really have to choose one that covers your mouth?” “Do you know who I am?” “Do you know who she is?” “Do you know who he is?” “You’re very light on your feet.” “Ow! It’s like you have two left feet.” “I’m a terrible dancer.” “Who cares if you’re a good dancer? Have fun! No one will know it’s you anyway!” “No one’s asked me to dance all night…” “I feel like I’m in a dream!” “Can we please go home? This is torture.” “How did I ever let you talk me into coming here?” “I prefer watching from the sidelines to participating.” “You’ve spent the entire evening at the snack table.” “Can I cut in?” “I have to go.” “I’m not supposed to be here. If they catch me I’m in trouble!” “Please. What is your name? I want to see you again.”

“Pants are just an illusion.”

Jaqen gave the beautiful woman an enigmatic smile.

“A man agrees with a lovely lady. Pants, an illusion. Identity, an illusion. This very conversation, is it real, or a fragment of a fever dream? Who can say? No one.”

"Who convinced me to come here?”

“A woman such as this one can hardly be convinced do something she doesn’t wish to already do”

[facelessjaqen]

@facelessjaqen

She surveyed the mysterious man and took a long, drawn sip from her glass. 

“I’m meeting some girlfriends.” She paused licking her lips so as not to waste the delectable liquor. “And what about you? I should ask the very same question.” 

She leaned in a playful smirk on his face. She wanted to ask his name but he didn’t seem the type to divulge such information upon the first contact. 

@isylaofwyl​

The woman was practiced at this type of exchange - a dance between man and woman. And she was used to holding the upper hand, Jaqen suspected.

Jaqen shrugged, a gallic motion that could mean whatever the woman wanted it to mean.

“A man is a loner by trade. I prefer to sit back and observe before I venture into the fray.”

Out of the corner of his eye, Jaqen saw The Target get up and leave with his friend. A moment of indecision - did this woman have any information of use? Or should he be trailing The Target?

He decided to work quickly.

“A man was surprised to find a lovely woman alone, especially after her encounter with the grim man at the bar. A woman goes on a hunt, and returns empty handed? Catch and release, perhaps?”

[facelessjaqen]

isylaofwyl:

Isyla smiled at his words, a slight blush reaching the apples of her cheeks. She wasn’t one for picking up strangers at a bar, though she wasn’t exactly opposed to the notion either. 

He appeared harmless enough, handsome, his accent somewhat remind her of home and his voice was honeyed with compliments. 

She twirled her pinky around her empty glass bringing the last bit of amber liquid to her lips. “Scotch, neat.” 

@isylaofwyl​

A simple nod to the bartender and a gesture to the woman’s empty glass was enough. Jaqen prided himself on being an expert in subtleties, after all.

Every once in awhile, there were parts of a Mission that were significantly more enjoyable than others. This would be one of those times. He needed to find out what her connect to The Target was.

“And how is that a lovely woman such as yourself is sitting alone?” 

[facelessjaqen]

@isylaofwyl

He didn’t know who she was, didn’t care much for a kiss or a dance, but a drink, and drink could loosen her tongue.

All he knew was that she had exchanged a few words with The Target upon arrival. She wasn’t a part of The Target’s normal social circle, which immediately piqued Jaqen’s interest.

It was important to be thorough when executing a Mission.

“And what is this gorgeous woman’s drink of choice?”
