THE STREXCORP MASQUERADEĀ : OCTOBER EVENT
Ricardo Vega, President of StrexCorp Synernists Inc, is holding a Company Masquerade this month to celebrate harvest holidays and to maintain company morale. There will be music, ballroom dancing, spiked punch, and the looming threat of re-education for anyone who dares spoil the atmosphere. This will be a two-week event beginning on October 15th, following the release of the new Night Vale episode, and run until the official in-character date of the event, Halloween!
Anyone can participate! StrexCorp employees are required to attend, and are allowed to bring one or two outside guests, provided they pass all company security checks and arenāt going to cause trouble. (This doesnāt mean you have to play if your character is Strex! no one has to participate, but itās an excuse.)
Starting October 15th, simply tag your posts with #StrexCorp Masquerade to have your thread considered part of the event.
strexcorpsguardian and myself (smilingindoctrinator) will be moderating the event. That is to say, if a thread is deemed inappropriate, unrealistic, or otherwise bending the corporate rules too much to be believable, we reserve the right to veto that incident from canon.
Always ask to join someoneās thread! Just because everyone is in the same hall doesnāt mean people donāt have plans among themselves. Be courteous to your fellow writers.
If your character is attending the Masquerade, they MUST be in a mask! Not a halloween costumeāthey shouldnāt be dressed as full-furry werewolves or sheet ghosts. Think fancy dress party with masks inspired by whatever you want (So a black suit with a long-nosed wolf mask and a moon-patterned tie, a cloak and a fanged porcelain mask to mimic a vampire, etc). Be creative!
Some suggestions to consider:
The Masquerade is the main event, but feel free to make up your own little sub-plots around it! Maybe your character is helping out with catering, or wants to dance with someone and canāt get their attention, has to go home sick, or gets up to some scandalous behaviour behind the curtains. You can also have your characters make observations on other peoplesā threads by tagging your post with #Masquerade Commentary as well as the URLs of the participants and the event tag. Send starters and plot ideas to other people participating! Draw your characterās mask and costume! Write drabbles about the event! Basically, have fun!
Last but not leastāif you intend to participate, all you have to do is reblog this post and consider yourself on the guest list!
