[April is sort of flicking through the posts here from everyone. It's what she does instead of, y'know, socialize like a normal person.
Until she comes to the bit about the Masquerade. She remembers that, scoffs a bit at the idea of it being held in the Palace of Versailles, but then she realizes something.]


Now I'm not saying I'm coming to this masquerade thing for pleasure, alright? Parties were never my thing. [Pff, yeah right.] I do want to learn more and at least try to understand this place and the people here better though. This seems a good way.

[She pauses there, looks at the screen hard like she's trying to think of the best way to ask this. She doesn't much like asking for aid.]

So besides the masks, what's required? It's not a dress up affair, is it? I kind of have a horrible eye for clothing. Or fashion. A friend of mine used to harp at me about it a lot and it isn't as if I've exactly practiced since I last saw her.

[Actually she'd been running around in a land where having any clothing at all was kind of a blessing, not even getting at what was fashionable.]

Though I suppose it doesn't really matter, it's not like this is to impress anyone. Still...

[Still she'd like to not look like she died in some hobo's closet or something if she's going to do this.]

Yes, although it's a bit harder to explain. We were sent into Earth's past on a mission, but something went wrong. Something was left behind that alerted United Earth there had been tampering.

When we returned here, there were mutated monstrosities overrunning the island. Most of the locals were dead. It was a ghost town, and it was very difficult to maintain order long enough for the oversight to be cleared up.

I'm well aware how far-fetched this has to sound.
