Grand Ball
Who: Anyone who hopes to attend
Where: Imperial Castle, Great Hall
What: The ball of the season
When: End of Spring Court
Warnings: Not being in attendance makes you a loser in the eyes of the court. You don't want to be a loser, do you?
The Great Hall of the Imperial Castle bedecked in bright, colorful garlands. Entire banquets were laid out on the tables. The floor was polished to a mirror sheen and inviting. As the Grand Ball began, women in dresses of the purest white accompanied by men in suits of white flooded the halls, professional dancers all opening the night. Passing from partner to partner in a pre-planned performance in honor of the emperor, they wove in tight but fluid formations, making symbols of flowers, crosses, and, finally, the Imperial Crest.
Once they cleared, the floor was opened to all, and the Grand Ball had truly begun.
[There will be a number of threads up for you to post in, this is completely open so go nuts and have fun guys. The official announcement of the winning matchups will be announced tonight when I get home from Sakura con likely somewhere in the ballpark of Midnight Saturday morning PDT, you have until then to figure out as many matches in the tourney as you can and post the results here. Whoever is left will be entered in the Grand Melee pool and I will roll for a final victors, which will be announced in its own thread. In the same post, you may opt your character out of the Grand Melee if you wish, they won't be in the drawing to win but they also won't be beat up for the Ball. The final victors will get their own dance and some lavish and ultimately useless gifts from court, and will generally get to play Homecoming King and Queen the entire night. Have fun!]
EDIT: The Women's Bracket victor was decided to be the only woman who had not lost a match, and the Men's Bracket was decided by a die roll (all combatants who had not lost any matches were given two numbers instead of one). As a result, the final couple is Sol Badguy and Arturia Pendragon! They will be crammed into a dashing suit/beautiful gown and paraded around the Court to be gushed at by nobles for about seven hours.
