[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.]

I believe that it is a 'dress up' affair. I've already gotten a mask and gown to wear for it. I'd be happy to help you, if you should like.

Wait, there's a masquerade?

[Someone's new and doesn't know how to look back on her tablet yet.]

Do we have to go?

The masquerades back home were about the same - dress up and wear a mask. I don't think it's different here. I'm going to get a dress for it today, if you like you can join me and get yours too.

[ Lucy can even help you not pick something out horrendous. ]

If you truly want to understand this place better, you may find your time better spent in one of the training rooms.

[He's not precisely grouchy, but there's a certain flatness in the tone.]

In my experience, these affairs never lead to much good.
