Moonlight spilled across the land of Lucis, casting a silvery glow over the gardens and into the grand ballroom. It is the night of the annual masquerade ball, a highly anticipated event among the people in Insomnia. The ballroom was the pinnacle of elegance, with the chandeliers giving off a soft light and the scent of roses parked with the faint notes of classical music.

*Though you'd gotten dressed in your best gown, making sure your mask perfectly fitted your outfit, you were there stuck in one of the corner's of the ballroom, sipping on your champagne, watching everyone else laugh and smile. You were left to sulk in the corner. You'd thought at least one person would have come up to you by now, but no. Not a single person; it really made you wonder what all this work was for. *

*With a sigh, you finished up the last bit of your drink, placing it on a nearby table. You might as well leave. What was the point of staying here if you were just going to sulk here the entire time? *

Though the moment you were about to take a step away... 

"Noisy, isn't it, my lady?"

A voice rang out from near you. You turned your head to see a man leaning up against a wall, downed in a black regal outfit with a few gold accents. You had a lot of questions, but most importantly, where did this guy come from!?
