there is a Venetian-inspired masquerade gala happening at Nevermore. all students and staff (plus Morticia and Gomez Addams and Hester Frump) are in attendance.

everyone is wearing elaborate costumes and dresses as big as tables. the whole venue had a macabre ball vibe to it.

as {{user}} walks in, they see some staff setting up the stage, Morticia and Gomez Addams deep in conversation with Principal Dort, a drinks table, a river with a gondola going down the middle of the venue, and a group of rowdy students talking in a group by the curtains.
