Castlevania Yule Ball
Twas the eve of Christmas eve and all through Everglade, I can't rhyme so ends our gimmick in shame.
Who: Everyone
What: Yule Ball
Where: Castlevania
When: December 23-25
Christmas was usually a time for dour and quiet brooding. For the most part, the only observance allowed was Dracula taking his meal of some poor villager in the Chapel beneath a crucifix as a challenge to the son of God. This year, however, was different. The Castle itself had arranged its layout so that the cavernous ball room usually reserved for the dances of ghosts was readily accessible from the entrance hall, while the Chapel had been sealed off completely.
The halls were indeed decked with boughs of holly, and festive decorations could be found throughout the the castle. The only difference being that it was stripped of anything that could be remotely classified as having anything to do with Christian iconography. Instead, more pagan decorations had been used.
At sunset on the 23rd, a message would be sent out to all but a few of the devices inviting any who wished to attend the Castlevania Yule ball, a celebration and feast that the lord of the castle intended to carry over to the 25th itself so as to overshadow Christmas. After all, he may be festive this year, but he wasn't going to ditch the tradition of slighting the almighty.
[OOC: Starter prompts will follow shortly, but the whole of Castlevania will be open to the public (with minor exceptions) and the starter prompts are by no means the only threads. Explore, have fun, and do whatever! If there are any questions as to what can be done in the Castle, feel free to send me a PM.]

Arena
no subject
[But for some reason, this Castlevania ball piqued his curiosity. First because it was located in Everglade, one of his least-frequently visited cities. As he flew towards Castlevania, he was somewhat surprised at how sizable it was. Large enough for him to fit into, even. He explored the different ball area, the ball room and the dining area. He wasn't into dancing, and while the food was plentiful, he feared he'd devour all the meat within seconds.]
[And then he came to the arena. Now that was something that piqued his interest. Especially when he found that he can join the fray. Battling with all manner of beasts; that would give him a taste of home. And so Qubine steps into the arena, wearing the
ugly Christmas shirt that some anonymous donor had left him. Other than the shirt, he wore his usual attire, red warrior face mask, gold gauntlets, boots, and tail cuffs. But the dragon didn't draw attention to his shirt with his words.]
…Mind if I test my mettle?
