Hey everyone, and welcome to the official Beauty Room planning Thread! We really need a great team to make this room the most beautiful jewel of the whole ball, so please drop in and apply for a cohost position! The name of the actually room will be something much less bland than 'The Beauty Room,' as soon as Queenie and I agree on a new name for it! <3 I'm Lady Angelishia, and I'm one of the hosts for this room. Queen of Nowhere, who I refer to as Queenie, is the other!

For a setting, we have a beautiful rose garden with plenty of love seats and mirrors, for all of our lovely guests! We want to make the thread that goes live reflect that beauty and create a wonderfully lovely atmosphere for our guests.


Hosts
Aphrodite - Queen of Nowhere
Princess Aurai - Princess Angelishia

So this is where we will record who is on our team, and give you an opportunity to become part of this room! I have a few suggestions as to what we need. We need a few specific Greek deities and legendary figures, but aside from that we're going to need a few nymphs! I may be posting more roles / openings later. An 'xxx' indicates that that role is currently open! Please post all applications in this thread! Oh, and we would like our cohosts to be exclusive. Meaning if you're a cohost for us, we'd like it if you didn't volunteer to be a cohost for someone else too. We'll need you the whole time!

Current Cohosts
Eros God of Desire - One of Angel's Friends
Anteros God of Requited Love - Mule
Narcisuss - Ordon
Psyche - sup3rnovas
Erytheia (Nymph) - panda21
Nymph - Mule

Finished Plot


Day One

Aphrodite and Aurai will welcome everyone to the room. The festivities will begin. Sometime during the night, Erytheia and Nymph 2 (Name not chosen yet.) will start to gossip about Psyche and Eros who are said to be secret lovers, and how Psyche is the most beautiful girl at the ball. They will start the gossip among themselves, and include any interested ball goers. After enough of the gossip has gone on, Princess Aurai will come and break up the gossip before Aphrodite hears.

Throughout the evening, Narcissus will be his normal self, and keep looking in mirrors. He can also flirt with the guests, informing them of how fine he is.

The night will proceed like a normal party should, with each host and cohost showing off their unique personality. The two nymphs should continue to gossip at random times about Psyche and her beauty, and her possible attachment to Eros. Throughout the ball, Psyche and Eros should give each other odd or longing glances, and have awkward cutesy conversations.

Towards the end of the night, Aphrodite should get wind of this conversation, become jealous, and make a big scene with Eros about how she is the most beautiful girl at the ball, and how Eros should renounce his love of Psyche, and love her instead. After all, she is the goddess of love and beauty. She will threaten to take his job away if she sees him with Psyche again.

Day Two

The beginning of the day will be pretty much the same as Day One, except that Eros will be sulking and Psyche will be confused and hurt, because he is not talking to her.

After Eris causes her chaos in the main room, Narcissus will go and find Aphrodite, and start raving about what he saw in the mirror. He will talk about how his reflection winked and waved back at him, and marvel that there could be two creatures as beautiful as himself. After some convincing, Aphrodite will follow him to see what he saw in the mirror. When both of them are standing in front of a large mirror, their reflections will wave and wink at them, thrilling both vain party hosts. Then, the image will turn into Eris giving them a raspberry, and they will be sucked into the mirrors.

After that, a riddle will appear on the bottom of all the mirrors:

Like the nymph-tales of long times past,
Chaos has come to pass,
And love and order will only be restored,
By the happiest of loving chores.

Over time will appear the riddles three,
Which have the power to set everyone free.


While Princess Aurai spreads news of what has happened and asks guest what they think of the riddle, Anteros, who is Eros’ twin brother, will go to Psyche with a secret message, telling her what is going on. That Eros does love her, like she had suspected, but has been forbidden to speak to her ever again. She will be both happy and sad at the news, and very confused as to what to do.

The party will continue after the confusion, at the command of Princess Aurai. Aphrodite and Narcissus will interact with the guests through the multiple mirrors around the garden.

After a few hours have passed, another part of the riddle will appear below the first one:

As day is to night,
And black is to white,
As still is to pulse,
I am to false.


Aphrodite will bring the new riddle to the attention of the partygoers, and the nymphs that remain at the party will ask everyone what they think it means. Princess Aurai will figure out that by solving the riddles as they appear, they can get the two out of the mirror.

Meanwhile, in the mirror, Aphrodite will be annoyed by Narcissus and his vanity.

Day Three

The day will start with another riddle appearing on the mirror:

I am blind and fleeting,
And set the heart to beating,
I am about as fair as war,
But favored far more.


Everyone will ponder what the riddle means, and the party will continue while Aphrodite and Narcissus comically bicker in their mirror prison.

Anteros will deliver a message to Psyche that she is to meet him in a corner of the garden where there are no mirrors.

Psyche goes to meet Eros, and the two discuss how they are in love, but how it can never be. The two lovers go back to the party thinking no one has seen them, even though a few guests probably will have.

The day will go on, as normal, and then the final riddle will appear:

I have the power to quarrels fix,
And am often denoted by a simple ‘x,’
I have the power to join lovers forever more,
Have you figured out the delightful chore?


Then hopefully the ball goers will figure out that the first riddle’s answer is: True
The second’s is:
Love
And the last is:
Kiss

Princess Aurai will announce that all of the lovers in the ball should kiss, and all of the friends should hug, for good measure.

Everyone will do so, but it will not work.

Princess Aurai will ask if there are two people who are truly in love who have not kissed yet, and Eros and Psyche will step forward.

Psyche and Eros will share a kiss, and Aphrodite and Narcissus will be set free. Aphrodite will be so grateful and happy that she will give Psyche and Eros her blessing to be together forevermore.

We're going to raise money privately as a room. This is so our prizes and art can be extra special. We want to put on the best room we can! If anyone has ideas for fund raising, please post them in this thread! We will probably be doing raffles and contests. We'd love to hear what your suggestions are!

I WANT TO BE A BEAUTIFUL PEOPLEZ!
User Name: sup3rnovas
Role You Would Prefer: A nymph or Psyche
Roles You Absolutely Won't do: I'm pretty open. I haven't *really* roleplayed guys though, so idk about that.
Experience: I've been fantasy roleplaying since i was about eleven (starting on Neopets). I don't do it so much now, but when given the rare opportunity, I'm quite good at it. I'm good at keeping stories moving, anyway.
However, this is my first time being involved in the ball! Last year, I roleplayed in the Crystal Caverns/Caves/iforget, so i have seen how the rooms work.
Other Roles in the Ball: Art + Plot Committees, but no other roles as of yet.
Why Should We Pick You: I never miss the Ball, so I'll be around a lot of the time! Also, i love the ideas in this room. >w< heart
