[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.]

Oh god, don't tell me you're some sort of cheesy hacker. You're not, right?
[This just makes her think of Flipper Burns.]

[Ah, wait.]
Not that I'm saying you are or anything. But if you're going to start throwing text at me like that then a girl's got to make a judgement call of some kind.
