Masqurade Ball

[Edward Gracey]

Glanceing around the party Mr. Gracey noted with intrest that his two mortal guests had disapeared. He politley excused himself and went to look for them. He quitley walked down the hall and when he heard voices coming from the library he smiled. Then he reached out and opened the door...

[Jodi]

Jodi heard a creaking, how on Earth can a ghost make footsteps?
"Cori, you go, I'll stay back here and entertain Gracey. Keep him away you know," Jodi tossed the lamp to Cori. "Come on! You know I'm good at that, the good looks and all."

[Cori]

Cori caught the lamp and gestured for Jodi to shut the door, "Good luck."

[Jodi]

"Gracey!" Jodi shouted, turning around and leaning against his desk, a big cheesy grin crossing across her mouth. "This room is so beautiful, how do you do it? Come on, honey! What's the secret."
Jodi put her hands behind her back and half-skipped over to the dead man. "Let's go back to the party, I'm sure you've got tons you can show me!"

[Madame Leota]

Leota woke up in her crystal with a start, there was a new presence in the building, two of them in fact. Two that should NOT be in there. She wrinkled her nose and blew some of her hair from her face. It was SO terrible to have no hands but floating hair.
And I can't even do anything about the presence. She thought to herself. I have no feet!

[Jodi]

Jodi walked down the hallway, swearing that the pictures were looking at her, and knowing that there was a candle floating in the hallway. Ghost parties = Unnerving. Jodi shuddered as she felt a cold breeze pass through her.

As she made her way down the hall she became more and more aware that she was being led not to a ballroom, but to a room she didn't see before. The door seemed to open to allow her in, revealing a wardrobe of beautiful Victorian gowns.

Dang, if Cori were here she would be cataloging all these by decade. She walked into the room to where there was a suit of armor holding a white one out to her.

Moments later she emerged from the room back to Master Gracey dressed as if she belonged at this party as opposed to her usual style of Rock Concert. She held her hand out nervously to be led to the ball.

[Edward Gracey]

Mr Gracey smiled at Jodi and offered her his arm. Apparently the other girl had gotten her calmed down and ready to enjoy the party. But it wasnt a party for her was it, this party was for Elizabeth. "I'm truely sorry about earlyer," He remarked casualy as he finaly lead her back into the ballroom, "You seemed rather upset and i neglected my duty as a host to make sure that you were alright."

[Jodi]

"Puh-shaw," Jodi said with a wave of her hand. "No biggie, whatevs. I'm chill now, just needed to collect my head."
Jodi put her arm into his with a smile. "I was just in such awe at the beauty and wonder of your amazing home."

[Madame Leota]

Leota rolled her eyes as she listened in on everything happening in the building. Surely Gracey wouldn't fall for the girls obvious false flattery, but he was so desperate to achieve his goal that she didn't doubt he would.

[Edward Gracey]

"I'm sure," Mr Gracey said, "you seem to belong in these sort of grand settings."
He gestured toward the dance floor tring to charm the girl, "Will you be so kind as to join me for the next dance."

[Jodi]

Jodi took his hand and allowed herself to be gracefully pulled in circles, getting very much lost in the magic of the moment.

[Ramsley]

Ramsley stood in the corner, his face hidden in shadows, watching the Master dancing with this floozy of a girl. It made his lip curl to see the sight of it. He held a tray with a single golden goblet waiting for the master to give him the signal...waiting...waiting...

[Edward Gracey]

Gracey looked at Ramsley and nodded that it was time. "My dear you look flushed," he told Jodi, "perhaps a drink?"
