[Setting]

(Posting order in title)

The room was alive with the sound of chatter and talk as it continued to fill up with people. As could be guessed for the occasion, everyone was wearing masks, although that didn't stop people from introducing themselves to each other as they met. As the people finally stopped coming in the lights suddenly dimmed down and all eyes were turned to the main stage where the curtains moved off to the side, revealing a young looking figure dressed in nobleman's attire and wearing an hear shaped mask standing in front of a microphone as well as a large band of varying people and instruments standing behind him. After a few short moments or waiting for the talking to die down, the man then began to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, friends, guests and members of the Hearts family, the organizer of this event, the esteemed Thomas Hearts, cannot be here tonight and so I will be speaking in his place. For those who don't know me you may call me Mr. Hearts. Now then, I would like to welcome you all to the Hearts family Masquerade Ball! It is tradition for the Hearts family to hold one of these balls once a year and it has been this way for many many years and so that is why you are all here tonight. Now then seeing as this is a traditional event there is 1 rule that must be followed to the letter. That is that no one is allowed to remove their masks. If you do decide to do so you will be asked to leave. Now then, onto basic information. You are all welcome to food and drinks at the various buffet tables around the room. I must ask that if you aren't 18, please don't have any wine or the like, but then again we're all wearing masks so we don't know do we?"

The room suddenly came alive with quiet chuckling and laughter before yet again falling silent.

"Now then, I must ask the everyone remain pleasant because this is a formal event and we're all here to enjoy ourselves, so don't go wrecking it for other people. I must also ask that if you come across 2 people doing nothing but sucking on each other's tongues, or kissing for anyone who doesn't understand, please ask one of them for a dance to break them up, we are here to socialise, if you want to snog away with a friend do so at home! Speaking of dancing, I must ask that everyone get up and give it a go at some point. If anyone has any questions or wants a specific song played I ask that you please come and find me and I will assist the best I can. Now then, I believe that is all I have to say for now, let the pleasantries begin!"

With a clap from the crowd and the departure of the host, the ballroom dancing music began and the chatter once again returned as people began to stand up and move onto the dance floor.
