I walk inside with my silver armor with glows in parts
Said glows are quite dim though

As you pass through the threshold, darkness takes you... After a moment you begin to hear faint music from classical instruments, out of tune and droning on, aswell as a woman singing... gibberish. Suddenly, you are lurched forward through the dark and into a crowded ballroon of well dressed guests and servants, dancing and mingling, their faces hidden beneath decorated porcelain masks. The grand chamber is brightly lit by sconces and chandeliers amplified by mirrors lining the walls. Rows of columns decorated with violet and maroon tapestries and drapes support two sets of balconies and the vaulted ceiling above. The floors are made from a mix of dark and white woods set into a basket weave pattern. Opposite the doors are a set of stairs that curve to an elevated platform. The band is playing here before a large stained glass window. Another set of stairs curve up to the first set of balconies above, where lightly armored guards watch from above, faces concealed within shadow. A servant beside the door turns to you and speaks, "Welcome, might I have your name?"

[spoiler]Understood[/spoiler] "Uh... thanks" I begin to wander around

You see couples dancing in perfect unison and groups conversing off to the sides. Servants stand beside columns balancing plates of glasses in hand.

[spoiler]Am I Looking For something?[/spoiler] I go to the guards

[spoiler]That is entirely up to you![/spoiler] Passing through the crowd on your way to the stairs, you overhear groups of guests uttering complete nonsense. "[i]A thirdly and I don't have the gall to be honest about how awful it is west of the Underworld.[/i]" one man says as a lady nods in agreement. She lifts a glass to her face and thick red liquid trickles down her mask and dress... Approaching the stairs you see two Knights standing guard, with sleek and angular dark steel plate and longswords sheathed at their sides.

[spoiler]Them My goal shall be to find ship blueprints[/spoiler] I go to the nearest group and politely wait for them to finsih their conversation before asking "Hey can you help me?"
-
The porcelain faces all turn to you.
-
"Im a bit lost, this is my first time here and i dont know where is where, can you help me?"
-
"[i]Ah the other two are a lot of people you can see in the past[/i]," one of the men responds monotonously. Then a dancer bumps into you from behind and their mask falls, shattering to the floor!
-
I turn arround to the waitress "Sorry, are you okay miss?"
-
They turn to you, and in place of where eyes, a nose, or mouth should be is a twisted spiral of flesh. The music has stopped and all masks are looking to you...
-
I dont worry about her face but i look arround and say "did i do something wrong?"
-
The lights flicker out, and then return a moment later. Everything appears as it was and the lady rises to her feet, mask intact. She curtsies and rejoins the dance. Then the large doors swing open once more, revealing a wall of shadowy mists.

I confront the guards
