Party RSVP list is linked here: Link

You’re invited to a Hallowmas Party!

Where: Caligula’s Coffee House

When: November 1st to November 7th, 1894 (this year in case you are unsure)

Hello Delicious friends, I TheBriteModiste have rented out a private room near Caligula’s Coffee house to throw a huge Hallowmas monster bash. Table space is limited so be sure to RSVP before the guest list closes on October 31st to make sure you have a seat. The event will be catered by some of the same devilish waitstaff of the famed coffee house. Other beverages will be available upon request.

How: Go to our guest list linked here and add your name to any of the numbered seats at the 49 available tables (limit 7 seat per table). The letter A is there only as a placeholder and can be safely removed without consequence. Seating is open until the 31st, although it is encouraged that tables are filled in numberical order so as to limit the number of incomplete tables. All delicious friends are invited both the new and and the well seasoned!

This is a masked party. Guests are encouraged to wear a mask of their own choosing, or a more traditional Hallowmas mask such as those of the Clayman, Brass Skull, Fox, Owl, Bear, and Badger.

Why: This is a social event! There are no schemes to be had. You won’t find any get rich quick tom-foolery here. This is a simple meeting of friends new, old, or potential to celebrate in the Spirit of Hallowmas.

This is an exceptionally good opportunity to meet new delicious friends!

What: After the RSVP period ends on the 31st, your table will be assigned for the main event. Each night (whenever night is for you delicious friend) we will meet up and talk to one member of our table. You may talk to more members, or even to more tables I will not limit your activities delicious friend! Who knows what use one might get out of such a list of notable participants.

But the hope is you will get to share some one on one time with each of your tablemates each night and hopefully get to know them all a little better by the end of the feast. The mingling and party going will last from the 1st to the 7th (the last day of Hallowmas).

Do’s:

  • Wear a mask.
  • Introduce yourself.
  • Talk about this seasons festivities.
  • Be respectful and charming
  • Let me know if you have any questions

Don’ts:

  • Please refrain from cannibalizing your tablemates, delicious though they may be.

If you have to miss a night or cancel or any other issues that may arise let me know and I’ll see what I can do to assist you as the host.

Kisses,
NiteBrite

Someone’s following me! Hmmm… I’ll pick this table!

YOU are awesome, as always.
Does the social event, the ‘get to know each other’ occurs in-play or off-play?

4

I am so glad you gave in to temptation!

5

This is very intriguing and I’ve added my name to the list.

On the other hand, despite having played Fallen London for a while, I’m not sure what the “traditional” masks are, and so I’ve just chosen a mask myself, from a mask-maker I follow online. I hope this is okay?

I also second the question of where the socialising happens.

6

This seems way to important to miss. I’ll echo Gonen’s inquiry about the nature of this gathering along with something of my own: How much are we allowed to stretch some of the rules mentioned? Do the tomb-colonists need masks? What of snuffers? Clothes-Colonies? Fingerkings for the Castle of Forests that have taken a willing host to visit this wonderful ceremony?

THE NATION MUST KNOW WHEN TO WEAR A MASK AND WHEN NOT TO!

Just my feeling, but it feels like a social convention for amusement rather than anyone really expecting anonymity. So I’d guess the Fingerking would go &quotHeyyyyy, it’s like a Masked Ball! Get me a costume human-body-suit!&quot (hopefully it chose a human-body rich and well off enough to get said costume)

Am I allowed to bring a friend (a companion)? He might bite, but he’s probably not poisonous.

To a Fingerking, isn’t the human-body a suit in itself ?

It’s more like an exoskeleton than anything. You can do things that you weren’t able to before. Like flexing your fingers! Proceeds to flex fingers. A lot.

Fair Warning issued on Table Four: Vavakx and I are scheming to produce a post in Mr. Pages Fabularities for “Table Four” where any and all who are sitting at table four can join us for an RP where arch-enemies get together for dinner and drinks!

I’m a Tomb-Colonist. So yes, do I wear a mask? Can I compromise and wear some distinctly colored bandages instead? These are important matters.

This is bound to be fun.

(I am being interrupted by Hallowmas, but what Abs is describing is totes happening)

14

Wanted to change my line, but seems the document doesn’t save no matter how much I wait; stuck at “Saving…”. Anyone else having this issue?

15

It worked fine for me a few minutes ago.

16

My very dear, how could I refuse such a gracious invitation? Look for the orang-utang in black tie.

Are we in-character or just attending as “ourselves?”

(I need to know if I should sign up as Kukapetal or Flesh-Stick :P )

I leave this choice entirely up to you. In character play is encouraged bit not required.

If it’s glitching out, feel free to post here and I’ll do my best to resolve conflicts by the 31St. There’s still several days before this closes so don’t feel too rushed.
