Fancy that

[hok-ton.livejournal.com]

This community never ceases to amaze me. You have spent positively days discussing and brooding upon that rather pointless holiday of "Valentines" - to the extent that I was not informed of the far more interesting holiday.

They say that love triumphs all - I suppose that is why there is such an obsession with affection. But I have found that satire and wit are far rarer commodities. Why content oneself with meaningless professions of love, when one can throw it all away and join the whirlwind of madness for a day?

The feast of fools is at its end - the insanity is at its peak. Who could resist the temptation of perfect anonymity, the opportunity for mischief and madness, all masked? Remain safe behind unflinching faces of bronze or gold, lock pain and judgment away for but one night.

Come, let silver hide your fears, let chrome guide your steps. Listen, can you hear the bells? They call away sanity and erase judgment. Give into their laughter, accompany me to their song.

We've but one night left of Mardi Gras -


Would anyone care to join me?

((ooc: If anyone else is interested, the log is here. Everyone is welcome!))

What is it?

[hok-ton.livejournal.com]

A Carnival.

[king-of-lies.livejournal.com]

I might, if I knew what it was.

[hok-ton.livejournal.com]

It is a Carnival; a festival where the whole world wheres masks and conceals their identity.

[furyxguns.livejournal.com]

You were talking about Mardi Gras? Of course it's not talked about. The people who'd be celebrating are all out getting drunk.

[hok-ton.livejournal.com]

Really? I suppose it will make the celebration more interesting, then.

[h4ck3r-61rl.livejournal.com]

Wow. Never really thought of Mardi Gras as a holiday like that, but when you put it that way...sounds fun.

[hok-ton.livejournal.com]

There is a certain amount of freedom that comes from hiding ones identity. Who would not enjoy that?

[is-primes-pants.livejournal.com]

I'm in, human celebrations are fun.

[hok-ton.livejournal.com]

Wonderful. Would you like me to provide transport?

[black-intruder.livejournal.com]

That's an American holiday, right? Be kinda cool to check it out if I'm allowed as I'm experienced plenty o' Japanese ones. Maybe I can bring something back for da twins.

[hok-ton.livejournal.com]

You would be welcome to join my group. I imagine it is quite different from most Japanese holidays. Though I have experienced few of either.

[maskedfugitive.livejournal.com]

Mardi Gras, huh? Sounds like a party.

[hok-ton.livejournal.com]

It apparently is a quite large one.

((I side with K here...Mardi Gras is *way* more interesting! And I'm a northern girl. XD ))

[vryimprtntman.livejournal.com]

A masked celebration, you say?

[hok-ton.livejournal.com]

Yes. Are you interested?

[effulgentxx.livejournal.com]

Mardi Gras is only worth anything when you're strolling down Bourbon Street.

[hok-ton.livejournal.com]

I shall have to visit it, then.

[shinra-pwnsjoo.livejournal.com]

Venice?

[hok-ton.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. There is a world in my domain that is celebrating a similar holiday - the whole world is in revelry. But I was thinking of visiting the Carnivals on Earth. Is Venice the best?

[flowerpowergrrl.livejournal.com]

Ooo! I want to com! That sounds lovely! I love costume parties and festivals!

[hok-ton.livejournal.com]

How wonderful. I, too, enjoy costume parties. Though my affection is more for masks.

Do you require transport? I can provide it.

[Locked]

[emos-with-honor.livejournal.com]

This is going off-topic, but you seem to be a world-hopper, can I ask for a lift home? You may name your price.

[Locked]

[hok-ton.livejournal.com]

No price is necessary. I will happily do it for free.

[shinra-sucks.livejournal.com]

Mardi Gras? What's that?

[hok-ton.livejournal.com]

A holiday on Earth involving masks and chaos.

[threadmaster.livejournal.com]

I'll join in on the fun!

[hok-ton.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Do you require transportation?
