A sweet, entrancing bell-like sound rings amidst the the dancing, mingling, laughter and music, casuing everyone, including the musicians, to pause in their actions. All eyes turn to the Royal Family, and the Empress lifts her wine glass in a toast, mischief and joy clear in her eyes.

“It is time for another of tonight's festivities, Darlings. Shall we Begin?”

The Wisteria and cherry blossoms, forming links so long that they reach the floor, part like a curtain to reveal an entirely new scene to all.

Whoo! It's been a while since I've thrown a Contest. With such a glorious Ball/Banquet at hand, why not increase the fun with a Contest as well? <3

[(I CAME TO WIN a GHOST OF A ROSE)]

I came to win The ha im wearing can be entered for romantic? Before you dotho, you said i have to own at least one item? Does it have to be cw?

huggles Yays~

Entry accepted! ^_^ <3

It can be entered for the Romantic theme or the others if you so wish it. Do you have the outfit saved? That way, you don't have to keep the outfit on the entire Pandemic, and the judges can still see it when it is time for judging.

, thats why im asking fitst if the one item we own rule must be a cw. And can we use whatever? If so i may do something else. Similar but a tad more extravagant than my owned attire.

I meant to respond to that question as well, my apologies (I have waaaay too many tabs up to try and keep up with everything. Two tabs are of the same page, so my eyes dart more than they ought, and I end up thinking I've responded to everything when I have not.) The item you own does not have to be a CW. You may use whatever you wish ^_^

evening dear. Fixing to hand out some delights to our guests tonight. ;)

Oooh this caught my eye! I've never participated in a contest and I have yet to use the HA share feature- but (I came to win!) and hopefully it works :D I'm also excited to see other creations- good luck everyone and here's to Ghost of a Rose!

I had so much fun with this :D :D :D

Welcome, and I'm glad you decided to join us, Dear ^^ gives cheesecake Your outfits are splendid and I'm glad you enjoyed yourself ^^ <3 Entries added~

((And with that note.....I took Nyquil and had my nice, warming shower. Bedtime for me, Darlings! I will respond to all remaining posts from here and the Ball tomorrow. Goodnight, Loves~))

my dear I hope you get some rest, I am about to call it a night myself.

Everyone who has participated up to this point has received a few blood and chocolate delicacies. ❤

this thread need to be moved to the pandemic board, doesnt it? I thought we were kissing too? OOOPS! heh. I caught up to my pings. grin. I see where told me that she is doing :)

[I]Oh No! Witchy is running behind time as usual. Or is she early? Time and Witchy do not seem to go hand and hand.[/i]

Outfit Not Found

(I came to Win!)

Edit: Oh dear, I didn't read the directions that well... So I listed the items I used, not the items I have...

~~a long lean white limo pulls up in front of the place, the valets run to open the door. The crowd of on lookers, become hushed, waiting to see who exits the car.

A snow white arm is extended, and the valet helps Witchy out of the car. The crowd starts cheering and calling her name, but the witch just smiles and waves her rainbow pipe around like a queen waving a scepter. She lefts the hem of her dress and starts forward, stumbles and falls on her face.

The crowd gasps! The witch's sparkling aura flys high. (You can tell they are very agitated.)

The valets all run to help her up. The witch stands, smiles and waves to the crowd again. The crowd cheers. The sparkles surround her again, dancing in the air.

The witch again picks up her skirt and continues up the steps and through the palace entrance.
