who: AMELIA & LIVVY. @docolives
when: during the masquerade party.
Amelia's strides were slow, nervous as she reached the grand doors of the ballroom, eyes glancing around the enormous room. Her focus was fixated on the dream-like decor, it looked like another world that deviated far from the world outside. She slowly descended into the room, taking in a breath of the atmosphere, the scent of expensive wine lingering in the air mixed with the hint of burning candles from the golden chandeliers above. What seemed like hundreds of people decorated the ballroom; some lingered by the sidelines, busying themselves with chatter. Other patrons gravitated towards the center, their moves elegant and precise as they danced to the band performing at the opposite end of the ballroom.
Amelia's eyes continued to observe everything all at once, she was amazed by the wondrous outfits worn by the guests; large ball gowns that floated along with every movement and their masks that differed from extravagant feathers to simplistic sleek disguises. Amelia, herself, had spent the previous hour preparing herself for this evening. She had always adored getting dressed up for any occasion, but this one seemed special. It would be her first big event in Merrock and the older woman was curious to see how the locals spent a night out. A smile graced her lips when she noticed a familiar blonde, the dimples in the other's smile giving her away. It was a relief to see someone she knew. "Having a good time so far?" she asked, moving up behind the other, eyes looking at Livvy's attire. "I must say, you look absolutely exquisite."
