"It's brilliant," said Rocio. she looked around the Great Hall with awe and entered it slowly. "They went all out this year, didn't they? I think it's fantastic." She then looked around to see the people who had arrived. She wondered who they all were, but that was the fun of this thing, right?

Derek had given up on finding a formal costume. He had settled on a plain, tuxedo with a black mask to match. Sure, it wasn't the most creative thing in the world, but no one ever said he was the most creative guy in the world either. He studied himself in the mirror. He was pleased with himself and hey, he was going to this thing so the others should be happy just for that.
