[i]A Short Pre-Ball Event[/i][/CENTER]

Once the effects of the Namorados' fairies wore off, Nereia looked around, an amused smile on her face. She clasped her hands together and raised her voice for her last announcement. [color=tan]"I shall leave you all to your own devices. We expect you all to be prompt and in attendance in tonight's festivities. It is, after all, to honor your presence in Cladarat. You will find whatever manner of clothing you desire to wear to the occasion in the closets provided for you in your houses,"[/color] she gave a small curtsy and with that, she fluttered her wings and flew off. 

In Nereia's place came several [url=http://i.imgur.com/FfqRXpL.jpg]hummingbirds[/url] that flew towards the humans, each holding a tiny scroll in their beaks. One by one, the bird flew towards each guest, extending the small rolled up parchment paper in its beak, blue and pink for the women and blue and green for the men. As soon as the small scrolls touched human hands, it enlarged to human size.

[sub]Thank you for the scrolls, [@Light the Dark][/sub][/center]

The words on the scrolls faded as soon as the receiver finished reading it, replaced by a new set of words that included a choice for the females and a question for the males.

Women will choose among the men and since fairies (as well as your GM and co-GM) are cheeky, the women will have the privilege to ask the men to the ball (I'm sure the boys are snickering about this... including those playing males). If a man has already said yes to another, the woman will have no choice but to ask the other one in the given choice. If no man is available, then the woman will go alone. Of course, the girls may choose not to ask anyone to the ball at all.

[@Ashevelendar] Special note for you. Interacting with either of your choices means interacting with the NPC.

A note about the scrolls: if you are standing next to someone, you can read their scroll if your character is so inclined or if their character shares it with yours. However, once the scroll is closed, the scroll will vanish. Please, no Flash-like speed to read over someone else's shoulder.
