<><> Masquerade Ball <><>
Raven’s eyes scanned the room ahead of her as she walked into the grand ballroom of Ninth House. While she may not be the most social of individuals, one should not mistake her introverted nature for a lack of confidence. She looked about the room as though she were better than it all. While she knew the ballroom was filled with her peers, they would not be considered the same forever.
The quiet observance of the room came to a sudden halt as a girl came up to her, cheerfully saying how she liked Raven’s dress. The girl, who exuded a childlike demeanor, grinned and introduced herself. It only seemed fitting that her dress was designed to mimic the scales of a fish, likely to be reminiscent of a mermaid or siren. Likely the prior, more innocent and idyllic of the two, despite the greater power of the later. Though elegant, and eye catching, even her dress couldn’t change the demeanor of the wearer.
“Thank you.” she answered in response to her compliment, though not returning the same. “Raven. I assume you’re new?” she questioned, knowing she had not met a Desdemona in her prior years at the school, and knowing that those at the school who held such a pure light in their eyes were few and far between.
