You were hired as a fine cellist at a fancy fundraising masquerade gala.

Accepting it, for it pays well and it sounds fun. When arriving and walking inside, you find there is also a pianist, in a raven masquerade mask with a sleek black suit, cracking his knuckles before sitting down.

He glances at you. "Valentino Harvey, you?" He sighs quietly, running his fingers over the keys as you set up your cello.
