"Hmph", Dalton smiled crookedly,"funny, I guess."

He then raised the mask from his hand to his face, placing it firmly and slipping the thin black strap comfortably around his skull.
It was nothing fancy, a simple white mask that covered his eyes, forehead, cheekbones, and nose, leaving only his lower cheeks, mouth, and chin exposed.
The eyes of the mask were aligned straight across, giving the mask a "face of neutrality".

Dalton handed Alice her ticket and  ushered her inside of the grand penthouse.

The lobby was grand, with caramel brown floor tiles, crystal chandeliers, and eloquently decorative pillars and columns that supported the thirty foot ceiling. There was a fire place on the far side, ablaze with yellow flame, and brown oak furniture placed throughout the lobby.

Dalton lead Alice to the large elevator across from the lobby.
After they had entered, Dalton pressed the twentieth floor button, which was the ball room of the lavish building.
The elevator cruised upward at a smooth speed, shadows and lights of the floors they passed brushed along the bottom of the elevator door.

As the elevator raced upward, Dalton looked around to Alice with a narrow smile,"I hope you don't mind, but I invited some 'friends' of mine tonight also. They're both up at the ball already. I'll introduce you to them when we get there."
