Masquerade Plotting Post, Part Deux.

powersthatbeApologies about the delay! Here's the plotting post for the next two segments on the Masquerade Plot, going up within the next day. Below, in addition to the plotting details, are the revised schedule, the updated Player Resources for the Jaunt, a full listing of infiltrators, and links to the last post.
The first mingle going up will be in the downtime between dances - during the depths of daytime, when the lanterns are dim and emanating heat and most of the delegates are resting, it's the perfect time to be out and doing things you oughtn't, like spying on other delegates, making secret rendezvouz, or trying to break into locked chambers. While characters can wear their masks during this time, they're not likely to, especially if they're at all religious. By this time, it will be generally known that the number of stowaways is unusually high this year, leading to added suspicion and intrigue - but stowaways aren't technically illegal, under the Pax Calendrica. For this mingle, use the Unmasked Plotting thread, although at your option you may still log intowhocanname if your character will ONLY be going about masked.
The Constellation Dance is a little more complicated than the simple waltz of the opening dance. Dancers form small chains, rings, and other linked groups, mimicking the stars above, and the ballroom doors open - along with, seemingly at random to the untrained eye, many of the other doors in the Orrery. As the evening progresses, these clusters of dancers drift out through the complex, experiencing the mysteries of the Starmovers. For those who like exploration and small group intrigue, this is the height of the Masquerade. Sort out your dance partners in the Masked Plotting comment below, along with whatever other anonymous planning, discussion, and threadsquee you wish to have. (For Masked Plotting comments, you're encouraged to log intowhocanname, just as if it were an IC Masquerade post, but if you're finding the anonymity is hard on you, you may certainly plot unmasked).
