[.::::.Room Rules.::::.]



1. Adhere to the ToS. This includes keeping everything under PG-13. If you do not follow this rule you will be chewed to death by Luke's dog. He will be watching.


2. No flaming, trolling, spamming or bumping. In the case that you do not follow this rule you will be sentenced to spend every evening with Juan whereby you will forced to learn 'proper' ethics, mannerism, dress code, ways of eating, down to the proper way to wear your shoes until your dying day. Ouch.


3. Do not quote excessively. The extent of your punishment will be determined by Mitsukai the guardian angel, depending on how large your quote tower grows, so refrain from having more than 4 quotes in a post.


4. Never stretch our pages or quote the first page. The consequences of breaking this rule are dire. We will have ghost Shizuki and Vincent haunt you for the rest of your life, AND afterlife.


5. Respect the NPCs, their workers, and any other members of the ball. Disrespecting anyone (especially your hosts, who have worked so hard to make this happen) will result in you being stabbed by James' broken glass shards, Rosetta's gardening tools and Reine's stake. Quite a terrible way to die, I must say.

[.::::.Room Plot.::::.]




Setting:


The old, wooden mansion inhabited previously by Luke and Juan before their imprisonment in the tower.



Plot:


After their release, they decided to host the Ball together in their old wooden mansion as a proof of their strong brotherly love. Unfortunately, their relationship starts to change during the ball. Juan starts going back to his old workaholic ways, and with Reine trying to break the both of them apart, Luke became more rebellious again, annoyed at Juan going back on his promise, and they started fighting again.

When both brothers started bickering (along with other demigods), the whole tower starts to collapse. The mansion shook as if hit by an earthquake, walls broke and suddenly, power failure. Faint light filtered through the large cracks and holes from the wall, lining the room with the faintest of glows, barely visible. There were shouts, and loud noises, and, as if a trick of the light, a huge figure appeared. Instead of attacking, the creature stomped in, grabbed somebody, and ran. Chaos, chaos and chaos. Then, when the light returned... Juan and Reine was gone.

Apparently, from Luke's story, Juan was kidnapped by the strange, dark creature when it was stomping towards HIM. Other NPCs claim they have seen the shadow of a schoolgirl swooping around the room, perhaps one of the ghosts living in the once abandoned mansion. We must all search for the missing NPCs before it is too late.

Search parties are split and a scavenger hunt begins. Maps of the mansion will be drawn and posted, while Mitsukai claims she has set up a barrier to prevent the creature escaping the mansion outer grounds (which, still is quite big), and the map of the exterior will be drawn as well. On each scavenger hunt, two riddles will be given. One riddle indicates the floor/loose location on where the missing NPC is, and one the exact room/location. Ball go-ers will have to guess, and NPCs are responsible for giving hints. And now we split into the two scenarios after the NPCs are found:


1) For Juan, they found the creature, apparently a Yeti keeping him hostage in a small shed/cave nearby the house. Apparently, the Yeti stumbled upon the house and observed their situation, collaborating with the house ghosts to concoct a potion that will enhance the sin or virtue in the demigods. He kidnapped Jun and forced the potion down his throat, causing him to be all lovey dovey and clingy towards everyone, especially Luke. In order to cure him, ball-goers will have to share their family, friends, or romantic love stories, the funnier or more touching the better.

2) For Reine, a house ghost dressed as a school girl kidnapped her, and locked her in the room. It was revealed that the house ghost was envious of her, being able to be so close to a guy, as it reminded her of her old school days where she fell in love with a boy but never having the chance to express her love as he died soon after. After her death, she sought to find her love for centuries but was still unable to meet her. However, the ghost was a nice soul. She will release Reine on ONE condition: finding the boy she loves for her, rumoured to be in the mansion. One last riddle was given and Ball-goers use that as the clue to find the whereabouts of the young man, who was trapped in a dream trapper. Eventually, they release the young man and the two lovers were reunited, and Reine was released.



Backstory:


Juan and Luke’s parents were demigods, and knew that their children were too, but decided against telling them as they do not wish to burden them with the knowledge of their incredible power and responsibility. However, when Luke was only a few years old, their parents passed away, along with the knowledge that they are demigods. Juan was left with the responsibility of raising Luke, but even with their poverty... they lived a simple, happy life, full of laughter and joy. At this point they met their guardian angel Mitsukai, who greatly helped them through this stage. But it all changed when Luke reached his 'teenage' years, where he first discovered he and his brother were Envy and Love respectfully.

But not all was as it seems.

Sins and Virtues were known to clash, especially against their opposing twin. As a result, Juan was told by the Gods that they had to be separated. He was against the idea, and made a deal with the Gods. If he and Luke were able to get along yet not neglect their responsibilities as demigods, they can live together. As a result, Juan goes into workaholic mode and ignores Luke (whom he believes can take care of himself), who in turns was hurt by his brother's ignorance towards him. In his loneliness, he wandered around and met Reine, whom he befriended and ran amok with, getting into a lot of trouble in order to gain his brother's attention. Juan, in turn, felt his brother was irresponsible and was pissed at his childish behavior, resulting in a great fight between both of them, whihc led to their imprisonment in the tower.

During their time in the tower Juan and Luke had plenty of time to understand each other and solve their differences. They eventually opened up to each other and shared their feelings, and each came to a mutual understanding. Juan promised to stop being a workaholic and spends more time with Luke. Luke stopped troubling Juan and the both became close.

[.::::.Characters.::::.]



Luke (Dusky)
You don’t have to be a genius to figure out that Luke is your average rebellious young teen. He doesn’t take crap from anyone, refuses to listen to authority (especially if that authority is Juan), and gets in trouble on a daily basis. Although he refuses to admit it, one reason Luke likes getting in trouble is it gets Juan’s attention. After feeling neglected and abandoned by his brother who was always preoccupied with his work, he found that it was the only thing that gave him his attention, and after going about it for so long, habits are hard to break. Still, it isn't all about attention grabbing. (Hell, Luke lives for himself, and he dares you challenge this belief!) For the most part, Luke just loves having fun and sees no problem breaking the law to have his way. Life was too short to spend worrying, after all.

However, sometimes when he looks back and ponders about the things that have happened in those dark rainy days, Luke wished he could be the perfect brother to Juan, like how Juan is to him, but quickly changes his mind as soon as he and Juan get in yet another fight. But sometimes, when he sees Juan locking himself in his room after a fight and refuses to eat, he sees an image of Juan back in those hard days, working himself to the bone and secretly giving him all his share during meals. He sees his brother’s blood shot panda eyes and the skin wrapped around his bones and during those times he feels great regret because he’s missed his chance of being a good brother back then by giving him s**t loads of trouble. So, now that he’s given a second chance, he does not intend to let it go.

In a way, he's often envious of the close bond Mitsukai and his brother share, but tries not to let it affect him too much. After all, he's too busy out breaking rules (and laws) with Reine most of the time. At least she doesn’t go around nagging him, and is probably the only friend he has who understands him, for that he's terribly grateful for her. She helped him deal with issues he's had, and she helped him heal, and in a way, he thinks he loves her just as much as his brother loves Mitsukai.




Juan (Shun)
A tough, young hot man to boot, Juan doesn't let his looks speak for itself. Sure, he stresses on the importance of manners, decency and daily ethics. Sure, he is a little overly obsessed about Luke and his antics, and okay, maybe wearing a suit on a daily basis IS a little over the top but hey, Juan is still your average laid back guy who spends his free time chilling out in the sun or rolling around the bed or painting naked women and cats.

Deep down inside, Juan believed he was given the role to fulfil the mission his parents failed to, no matter how he wished it wasn’t true: the duty to take care of Luke. Sure, he has plenty of people to help, like the ever so calming James, or the caring Mitsukai… But at the end of it, he understands that it is his job to support his brother. Take the blows for him. Take responsibility of him. No matter the pain, no matter the hardships. But being only a few years older than Luke like he is, he struggles greatly to be the perfect brother and father and mother to Luke he doesn’t know how to be. To this day, even after thousands of years, Juan still ponders the answer.

He's torn over the fight with Luke hundreds of years ago, and deeply fears that he will cause more harm to him than he already has. Juan is extremely protective (overly paranoid) of Luke (despite all the years Luke robbed of him whenever he pisses him off) since he is the only family he has left. Generous and kind, he pretty much gets along well with all people and enjoys interacting with everyone and sharing stories. Despite this, he's passively hostile towards Reine, as he views her as the poison seeds residing in his brother's soul. He adores kitties, and flies into a rage whenever Luke sets his favourite pet dog chasing his one and only beloved. behind Luke, because Luke always comes first, because family comes first. Because Luke was all he had and because his brother is his world, Luke will always be first.




James (Sub)
James is a very simple person.

He is an honourable man who spends his days drinking tea and reading books, if he gets any spare time, that is. He was bestowed the sacred duty as peacemaker between Juan and Luke, which he carries out with great dedication and care. Contrary to popular belief, he does not dislike carrying out the duty. After all, fights and scrabbles are simply wrapped up in simple, good times as days go by, and he feels blessed be able to witness the beautiful progress between the two brothers who were once trapped in the voids of bad luck. He is the man Luke persuaded to get a new tattoo, and the reason Juan bothers to place a brand new vase of flowers on the mansion’s bar counter every morning. And of course, let’s not miss out on the free, lovely, real-life soap dramas James adores watching. Like how Reine is obsessed with Luke, and Juan is overly obsessed with Luke and kitties, how Luke is overly obsessed with his puppy and… you get the gist.

Even so, James is very close to Luke, and Juan. The man had looked after the little rascals and watch them grow into fine, young men, and so, the old man is very proud for all that Luke and Juan do for people. For this reason, he feels great bitterness and resentment to those who take advantage of Juan’s kindness, or how people fly into rages at Luke because simply because of his independence and pride. So, one can say that perhaps James IS like the big brother between the two they both need. He helps keep the family together and somewhat peaceful.

Oh, and one warning about James. He is not a person you would want to get provoke. He is certainly not a man to mess with when he gets angry. He treats people with respect when others treat him the same. The same goes for people who treat him rudely.





Reine (Ninja)
As the second child of 5, Reine was pressured as a child by her parents to become a business woman, even though she hated the thought of it. After her older brother became all that her parents wanted him to be, the burden of upholding her parents’ dreams was forced onto her. After a year of being trapped in business school, she finally snapped. She ran away from home and vowed never to come back. Reine began travelling from town to town, taking up jobs to pay for her living. It was her dream to travel around the world and she hoped she would be able to keep it up for as long as she needed.

One day, when she was walking back to her flat, Reine met a mysterious boy who refused to tell her anything about himself despite all her prodding and poking. Over the weeks curiousity got the better of her and one day decided to follow (stalk) him. She saw him returning to an excuse of a house and eventually got his secret out of him. At that moment, she realised she had finally met another person who understood how she feels. The feeling of abandonment and loneliness that still eats her up to this day was a shared emotion between the two young adults. Both of them started spending time together, often running around vandalizing property, breaking rules and challenging authority, which seemed to be Luke’s way of filling the void.

Reine hates Luke's brother, Juan for seemingly ignoring Luke, and the hatred only grew when she finally met him. Reine was also jealous of Mitsukai for a small period of time when she fussed over Luke and tried to protect him, but her jealousy evaporated when she realised Luke kept rejecting her. However, she still hates Mitsukai because she always sides with Juan and never sees the way Luke sees the world, and feels that they don’t try hard enough to understand him. Reine has a bitter disposition to adults due to her parents neglect to her dreams and feelings, and relates greatly to Luke. Eventually, she fell in love with him and after meeting him for the first time in hundreds and thousands of years (she was turned into an immortal by Luke to keep him company), she just wants Luke by her side and tries to bring things back as they used to be.




Mitsukai (Yui)
Mitsukai is Luke and Juan’s guardian angel. She is immortal and has been with both of them since their parents passed away. She has average spiritual powers, being able to create large barriers and has minor healing abilities. As your classic social butterfly, she loves friends and parties, so the ball is one of her favourite times of the year. She has a mascot: an angel imp that follows her around and aids her in her duties.


Sharing a very close bond with Juan, she had helped him as much as she could through the ‘dark times’. She loves Juan very, very much (as a friend!) and tries to ease his suffering much as she can. However, Luke prefers to keep her at arm’s length, to which she always feels annoyed about. What harm could come in trusting another person? However, she greatly dislikes Reine. To her, the girl comes across as a moody, brooding teenager who doesn’t understand the beauty of the world: the complete opposite of herself.

As an angel, Mitsukai enjoys learning about wildlife and studied the subject for a year. It goes without without saying that she enjoys tending to the gardens and tucking away at the cosy corner of the library reading or sleeping. She has a strong weakness for cute things (PINK!), and can be absent-minded at times.

P.S.: She has a tradition of setting off a Chinese lantern into the sky at the end of each party she goes to, as a finale for her night, so look out for it.





Rosetta Rae (Cakes)
Rosetta Rae (last name unknown) isn't your average fourteen year old girl. Rosetta doesn't exactly know how, but she found herself on the doorsteps of the manor in tears after one tragic and rainy night when she was only ten. The landowners took her in and since then Rosetta has looked after the manor when Juan and Luke are out. Four years have passed, and now Rosetta thinks of them as older brothers. She can often be found in the garden, which despite it being caught in the snow during the cold, winter days, is still kept green. Rosetta's friends are the manor inhabitants and the flowers, but she hopes that will change when all the party eager Gaians arrive. After being cooped in the mansion for so long, the young girl is absolutely eager to make friends.

Rosetta loves chatting with Gaians, but doesn't enjoy arguing or gossiping with people. When these two things usually occur, you can often hear her saying, "Beware... The flower's have ears. They know all." Rosetta hopes to make all the visitors happy and well informed. Also, Rosetta likes to keep all things in check, so there isn't any chaos. Yet she's sure that something bad will happen (it always does), so she doesn't know why she ever bothers trying.

The young girl is quite shy, but she changes her attitude when the Gaians are around. She can be a tad ditzy and clumsy. However, the girl is smart. Especially when it comes to things about nature and wildlife. She has fantastic manners, and she is always polite and kind. Rosetta doesn't care about boys or money, she usually just keeps to herself and her 'family'. Rosetta's favorite things are Italian food, chocolate, nature, books, poetry, music, and rain. Lately, she's been spending her time wondering what shall be in store for the weekend of festivities...





Vincent Ezekial Valdette (Cakes)
Vincent Ezekial Valdette may look young, but there's a hidden truth behind this 'young' man. This seemingly twenty-one year old man was born in 1600. He had moved to the area from his home country of Italy at the age of sixteen when his mentor, William Shakespeare had died in 1616. Back then, the manor was relatively new. Vincent found a job as an up-keeper in the manor, making sure things were clean and in check. It was here he wrote his best poetry, which can sometimes be found framed in many rooms amongst the manor. A lot of these poems were based on this death of his beloved mentor. Vincent spent most of his time cleaning, studying, reading, and, of course, writing poetry. Vincent's favorite things were girls, poetry, music, darkness, and colors. Oh how he loved reading in one of the more colorful rooms amongst the manor, it made him feel so alive. Alas, it was also here that Vincent fell in love with a woman named Shizuki and wrote many blissful poems about their budding romance. One day, however, their love was cut short when Vincent found himself cleaning the manor when he noticed a strange object. Upon touching and dusting off the object, a flash appeared and Vincent was gone. He has been missing in action ever since... Where could he have gone? Is he even still alive?




Shizuki (Sunburst)
“My wish, my one and only wish, is to find the courage to move on…”

That is what Shizuki vigorously repeat in her head whenever shooting star crosses the dark skies. It never ceased to bother her how easily it was to lose the people you love, for she had lost her boyfriend mysteriously one day, and no traces of him was found. She swore to herself to never rest in peace until she finds her one, true love. It was only a few years after she died and her soul lingering in the mortal world did she detected her boyfriend’s presence in his mansion and searched, searched, searched for her precious treasure....

*waves* Hey folks! This is Shunatsu, a Penang college student currently studying in the UK who aspires to be an author. I was the host (Ares God of War) in Hades Palace last year, and will be playing Juan (Love) in today’s Ball. I'm glad you could make it! Welcome to our room and enjoy! =D

Heyo, ballgoers! I'm -The Dusk Sky-, also known as Dusk/Dusky. I'm a fourteen year old who lives in the depressing and rainy state of Washington (Oh, joy!), but I love it here anyway =) I plan on going on to become some sort of engineer, but you never know where you'll be in five years, I could end up being a...teacher (or maybe a hobo!) or something. This is my second year working with the GAB. Last year I was a co-host in the Palace of Hades, playing Ares' (un)lovable sister Enyo. This year I was lucky enough to get the chance to fill in as a host in this room with Shunatsu and play Luke. I'll admit, I'm a loser when it comes to video games/anime, I have other things to do with my time. Some of those include shooting guns and bugging/creeping/weirding out my friends and strangers. I tend to listen to punk rock, not watch much TV, spend too much time on the internet, and read just about anything that isn't "I'm in high school Oh no! I have a pimple, not XXX won't ask my out! *sobsobsob teenage angst*" Uh, I honestly don't know what else to say, so au revoir!

Hey! Hey! ShiinaNinja here. I am a fourteen year old girl who lives and works around the unpredictable and sometimes bad British weather. My interests are drawing, writing, reading, cycling, sleeping, eating and playing games. I found the last Gaia ball and attended it completely by accident, and I loved it so much I applied for a co-host position, which I got. I am a major Harry Potter fan and I listen to pop, alternative, punk and rock music, more specifically Paramore, Evanescence, Florence and the Machine. Currently, you will most often find me rereading Angel by L.A. Weatherly or drawing various celebs/people. My first love was (and still is) chocolate. My fave sports are ice skating, rounders and football.

Heyy Heyy Heyy! <3 Come va? I'm Xx-Cakes_Delite-xX, but throughout the world of GaiaOnline I am known as Cake, Cakes, or sometimes I get called Pancakes. (Pancakes refers to my old account, XxRandom_PancakesxX) I'm fourteen and have lived in Florida all my life. I'm an honors student and I'm also a high achiever. I have been working with the Annual Ball for the past three or four years. Last year I played a big part as Hermes, messenger of the gods, while working the plot update/newsroom. I'll admit it... I had a blast! I honestly don't know where I see myself in the future. I want to either be a journalist, author, fashion designer, interior decorator, or a stage actress. Hell, maybe I'll find myself working for GaiaOnline one day! I have a video game addiction, and I am currently working on Kingdom Hearts II for PS2, Legend of Zelda Oracle of Seasons & Legend of Zelda Oracle of Ages for GB, and Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life Special Edition for PS2. Yeah... I'm a noob, I guess. I like to go to the beach with friends and write poetry when it rains... Gotta love Florida! I like reading/watching anime, I'm pretty good at writing story lines too, but when I try to draw anime it ends up looking more like manga... Epic fail! I like to randomly change my avatar's outfit based on my mood, so I guess you can find me wearing some kooky outfits. I'm addicted to the House of Night series and the Blue Bloods series... Twilight can bend over backwards and suck it ;P. My favorite pastimes are writing (mainly poetry), singing, dancing, cooking, and roleplaying. Oh boy, do I love to roleplay. I have an amazing boyfriend who has been with me for a little over a year. We're both a little... strange? I enjoy getting random PMs from friends and such, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I hate cyber bullying with a passion, so if I catch you doing it you better run and hide, because Cookie Monster is gonna find you and eat you. Bwahahahaha! That's all for now... Teehee!<3 ^.^

Riddles for searching Vincent
Where to go:
The number is good
But not quite the best,
As it’s just above the first. ((Meaning the second floor))
Now as for the room you’re looking for,
It’s in a special, quiet place
Where knowledge will never be undone.((The library))

What they're looking for:
I am what you’re looking for,
I am what you’ve wanted.
I know all your thoughts and more,
You could say I’ve been enchanted.
I keep you safe as you sleep,
From terrors of the night.
I keep the thoughts that would make you weep,
And allow those that are light.
The good thoughts will improve your health,
While in dawn’s first light those caught will burn.
I believe that’s all to tell about myself,
So now it's time for your turn.
This is no trick just take a guess,
To find out what I am.

We really need to get down to business. I know some of you have not helped plan the ball before, but you should know there's a lot more to do then it seems like. So, since the main plot isn't out yet, we're limited on what we can do. Basically, we're stuck on fundraising. Even though it might seem like we have a ton of time to do that, we really don't. There is a LOT to do.

This is a run-through of what the preparation is like until the Ball (which will take place in around July next year). It's not in order, but basically it'll be like this:
~Fundraising: This is to buy everything we need for our avatars, our room layout, our contest prizes, and anything else including avi name changes and a whole lot more
~Figure out our room plot and finalising it
~Figure out our characters and how they interact
~Create a profile for our characters
~Make the contests we'll have in the ball
~Split the contests for a few people in charge
~Tektek the Avatars for our characters

~Create Avatars for our characters and obtain the proper outfits for them (which might be a pain, I might add)
~Figure out and request for a room layout (including theme, colour schemes, etc.)

~Decide on Room Rules
~Decide on Room Name
~Write Introduction of our characters

~Write Room Introductions
~Write Introductions of ourselves
~Get all the art (post layouts and drawings)
~Order room layouts (and GOOD ones)

~Write and put together the front page/Room Front Page Structure
~Write in every single post for the front page
~Edit EVERY SINGLE piece of writing to make sure it's amazing.
~Get the prizes for the contests
~Decide and split the money and prizes for each contest
~Write introductions and rules for all contests
~Create a shop (if required during the time of the ball)

And that isn't all of it, it's just what Dusky and I can think of right now.
I'm telling you guys, this is a HUGE thing. So far, we've just been screwing around but we need to get serious. What you are involving yourself in is a HUGE responsibility as this is one of the largest events held in Gaia History every year. If you're new to the Ball, I suggest you take a look at this, the Hades Palace from last year's Ball.
The point of this post? To make sure we get serious and start working for the main goal. I'm not saying we can't have fun anymore, we just need to get things done. Starting now.
Also, I officially declare Dusky as temporary replacement for our missing host (Sabs) and she has the authority to take charge of things around here.

Credits for this post goes to Dusky.
