when he had initially heard of the event, the basket auction, theo thought it was a ridiculous idea. auditioning off women to the highest bidder was a tragic idea, one that did not sit right with him at all. when the list of names were announced, he hoped that mai wouldn’t be one of them. although.. he knew deep down that she would. it was her duty to find a husband, no matter how messed up theo thought that to be. he cared about mai deeply, more deeply than he cared for anyone else. and the idea of her being bought by someone who would perhaps treat her like a trophy.. that made him sick to his stomach. so theo raided his savings and even took up a few extra shifts at the printers. he would try his very best to make sure that he would be the highest bidder. it was difficult, considering he were a mere commoner. but, somehow he managed to do it. so here he was, wicker basket in hand on his way to find his former best friend, the woman whom he cherished.

@lonefeatherington​​ closed starter for masquerade ball {{&&jacquetta&penelope}} 

jacquetta had been looking on the different couples dancing. she loved to dance, but she did not want to give anyone a false impression. she was not looking for  a husband. while she and james were not in romantic love, they adored one another, and he respected her in a way she rarely saw in most marriages. they were truly friends, and in her own way, she did love him. she saw friends think a man was charming and good, only to be treated horrible after marriage, simply because the man married them due to their dowry. james had left jacquetta with a huge account for herself, so she knew if she married, her new husband would take the money. not to mention her son’s well being. 

jacquetta had decided to take some fresh air in the garden. luckily there were a few married couples spread out, so it wasn’t as if she were completely alone. she sighed. the night air was nice and warm. she looked at the sky, and smiled. what a perfect night she thought. just as she began to enjoy the night air, she saw a young women, with red hair run out of the ball. she looked upset. if jacquetta was right, it was one of the feathrington girls...penelope if she was not mistaken. she felt bad penelope looked sad, so she walked over, and gave her a warm smile ❝are you alright?❞

Dearest Reader,

A frenzied night amongst the ton on the most momentous occasion, for tonight is the night of the first season ball. This, as always, is held at the humble abode of the Queen. A much anticipated date when dreams shall be achieved. Hopes, fully realised, and lives, finally changed. For the better, one hopes.

Tonight, the Queen will assess all debutants and appoint the diamond of the evening. Who shall snag her majesty's affections and secure the most glowing endorsement? And who will face a fate worse than death? --- a plummet in social standing.

Further details to come.

So, shall we begin?
