RPlog:Masquerade Ball: A Night on Yavin

The Announcement
Adventure Cruiselines is hosting the first masquerade aboard the Angry Rancor Cruiseship! Everyone from all corners of the galaxy is welcome - but only if you come in a costume. The theme is: A Night on Yavin (OOC: A Night in the Tropics). Come as a Rebel Pilot from the Yavin Base... one of the ancient, mysterious Massassi... a jungle creature... or just in your favorite tropical getup. This is the perfect chance to mingle with people you normally wouldn't ever see. Food and Drinks are provided.

The Setting
Wampa Lounge -- The Angry Rancor Set off from the casino floor, the Wampa Lounge is a vault-like room which boasts segmented transparisteel windows all across the ceiling and down both the port and starboard sides of the vessel, allowing an amazing view of the starscape around the ship. Pewter moldings of creatures from all around the galaxy are set at every juncture of ribs in the structure, like gargoyles. Stained byrlewood panelling covers the fore and aft walls of the room, with several display cases holding exotic animals set into the foreward wall. The same material has also been used in the construction of a stage along the aft wall, and a stool-less bar over on the starboard side. The room has been decorated in a jungle theme, with faux foliage in generous supply. On stage is a Smazzo band, dressed in tropical colors and playing a variety of instruments, most notably a full array of tribal drums which sound out exotic and upbeat rhythms. Numerous plush chairs and loveseats are arranged around the room, many of them facing out the large windows or set up near the display cases. Small tables are set up near each group of seats, and area rugs are strategically placed to break up the large space and create the feel of smaller, more intimate places to sit and relax. A row of tables are set up to one side, with an array of exotic foods and colorful, fizzy, non-alcoholic drinks, all free for the taking. The bar is open (as a cash bar) and gold droids wearing floral leis tend it and circulate the room unobtrusively, serving a wide variety of drinks.
