You enter a grand ballroom of an extravagant mansion. Orchestral music echo around the large room, ringing magically and mystically. A sea of people discuss amongst each other, identities hidden behind masks relating to them or their profession. You walk into the room, having a background that can't compare. But your purpose for being there is different than the rest. A white tiefling cladded in gold can be found sitting in the center of an ornate wall, swirling a glass of champagne. Blonde hair cascades down the side of his shoulder with gemstone beads of various colors woven into the wavy locks. His mask was similar to an albino crow with its beak crested in gold. Red eyes match the albinism of the mask. They meet yours as you enter the building. That's your boss.
Cry's friend, Mercurius, is hosting a grand masquerade ball for all business owners, entrepreneurs, and master craftsmen. As the god of trades, he hosts this ball to provide an opportunity for his followers to create connections and strengthen businesses.
However, due to the ball taking place in Aresnard, there's a questionable amount of safety since it is notorious for its thieves guild. That is where the Beacon Company comes in, ensuring the safety of the guests and their business. And now that is where we come in.
1.) Dress the job and get in.

REWARD(S): 2x on event pieces; 2.5x if collaborated
While Mercurius requested guards, we cannot have all of the guards be seen. The guests of the masquerade come from different backgrounds, both good and questionable. So one may feel uncomfortable to see a large amount of guards. He has already hired some officially-dressed guards, so Beacon employees will be assigned the opportunity to dress in formal wear with a mask of their choice.
Depict your traveler in a fancy fantasy outfit. It's your first big-big gig, isn't it? How's your traveler feeling about it?
2.) Stop! Don't touch the punch!

For a few hours, everything seemed peaceful. But someone jinxed it. It had to be jinxed, because the guests started seeming tipsy, perhaps loopier. On-site medics pulled them into a resting room for the hung over and it seems as if they have a common factor of drinking the punch, which is abnormal because no heavy alcohol has been offered. This is a connection-making event, not a party.
Did your traveler get some drinks? Depict them feeling the effects. Guests are saying that they're in a daze-like state, seeing their dreams manifest around them. What's going on for your traveler?
If your traveler isn't intoxicated, depict them helping their co-workers out of it. It is said that scaring them snaps them out of the dreams. Spook the shit out of them!
3.) Unwelcomed guest?

REWARD(S): 2x on event pieces; 2.5x if collaborated
As you are disguised amongst the guests, you see a dark shadow make its way through the eaves, supporting the ceiling. Squinting, you can find that it's the shadow of a spy, presumably from the thieves guild. We don't know their intentions, but we cannot let them have their way.
Depict your traveler tracking down the shadow. How do you catch up to them? That's up to you. Do it in any way that matches your specialty.
4.) Care to dance?
ID CODE: TBA
REWARD(S): 2x on event pieces; 2.5x if collaborated
It is a party and you are definitely dressed the part now, why not mingle with the guests or your own fellow Beacon Travelers and slide over to the dance floor? Maybe some good-looking stranger will ask you out for a dance? Or is it too hard to move in formal-wear and heels? Need someone to catch you and lean you back like a movie scene? Perhaps you'll bump into the host himself!
Depict your traveler interacting with possible guests, or fellow beacon travelers. Do they know how to dance or do they have two left feet?
5.) Join the RP party!

REWARD(S): ?????

[EVERYONE IS GIVEN 2 MONTHS TO COMPLETE THE EVENT TO EARN REWARDS.] That is a lot of time, but if you think you will still be turning in something late, you have until the 10th of the month to submit your creation and receive 1/2 of the reward. After that, we will no longer accept submissions for that prompt unless stated otherwise.
[THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS ARE...] Visual creations (ie. digital & traditional artwork) must submit a colored half-body art and literature must submit at least 1,500 words. Everything will be viewed and read to ensure that the submission addresses the prompt it was made for. If we feel that the submission doesn't quite match the prompt, we'll let you know!
[RP LOGS AND CAMPAIGNS ARE ACCEPTED.] These must at least be 3,000 words. All of the participants will receive the same amount of rewards, so don't worry about figuring out how to split it evenly, haha.
[COLLABORATIONS ARE ALLOWED.] Speaking of which, yes, collaborations are indeed allowed! And you also don't have to worry about splitting the loot equally. Everyone receives the same amount of rewards!
[IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE OF YOUR OWN BEACON TRAVELERS IN THE SAME SUBMISSION...] They will all receive the same amount of rewards since they are participating in the event prompt.
[SUBMIT TO THE CORRECT THREAD.] You can find it here:
