How do you get back to the ballroom to talk with people?

Go to the news page and then on the right, click ballroom. Then, click on the upper left corner of the image to take you to where the NPCs gather to talk to. Sometimes you need to be in the past to talk to them in order to participate in the plot.

thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean exactly..

If you go to the North Antechamber there are a few people to talk to do do "side quests" for the plot.

Also, if you open & from the other characters, you can talk to them. This is needed for a certain step in the plot.

If you want more info, check out Quest Prizes not in inventory :)

[edit] Beat, haha.. :)
