It's that time of year Crystal Covians. The snow has begun to blanket our cozy little town, and cheer is spreading from house to house. It's Holiday season, and in Crystal Cove that means many things, but to our young ladies it also means it's time for Miss Crystal Cove Pageant. It's always held the Saturday after school let's out as a way to kick of the festivities of the Holiday season. This year the pageant is being held on December 14th. It's being run solely by Mrs. Wilson, whereas in the past she co-ran the even with Mrs. Lockwood. This year a gracious offer from newcomer Perceval Darcy graced the Pageant, as he's giving up his home for the night to host the annual Miss Crystal Cove Ball.Â
As everyone knows, or should know, all Pageant Contestants and their escorts will attend the Interview Brunch with the judges at one, on Saturday afternoon. They then may return home until 6 pm when they are required at the Darcy Mansion to do one last dance rehearsal and then convene upstairs to get ready for the Ball. At 6:30 guests should begin to arrive dressed in formal attire. At approximately seven, the ladies should line up the nearest room to the Grand Staircase. They will then be announced in alphabetical order. One by one after they're announced they will descend the staircase and join their escort at the bottom, and together they will walk to the center of the Ballroom. Once all ladies and escorts are in the Ballroom, they will proceed to perform the traditional Miss Crystal Cove Waltz. The dance combined with the interview will be how the judges score their results.Â
At eight, the Judges will crown gather the crowd at the staircase once again, and there they will announce the winner. From that point on the Ball should convene into nothing more than the formal party that it always is. Cocktails, Appetizers, and Dancing will fill the night. But with a special mystery guest arriving in the middle of the evening, tensions will rise and someone will lose their temper greatly. One contestant will do the unthinkable and stab a friend in the back, quite literally. And someone else will finally learn the truth that's been hidden from her, her whole life. What should be a fun night of drinking and dancing will turn into a night of blood and tears for most who attend.Â
Today will kick off the special event. Each constant will receive their "interview" question. They will have around 24 hours (ooc) to answer the question. They must answer it, and tag it with misscrystalcove by Friday Afternoon.
Friday evening at approximately 7pm (United States EST for other timezones use this converter) the chatzy event for the "First Dance" will begin. We ask that all participants begin arriving at least by 6:30. We'd like to have EVERYONE involved in the chatzy by 7 or 7:30 at the latest. This is one event where we can't really skip people. Everyone has to be in the chatzy before we can start. If circumstances arise and you can't attend PLEASE inform us before hand so we can work around it. This chatzy event will continue until the end of the "first dance". It really shouldn't take too long, but if it has to it may continue into Saturday evening.
Saturday will be the first day that the full dash goes on "MCC Lockdown". Meaning that all gifchats/new paras MUST be done IC as if it were the night of MCC. Whether your characters at MCC or not. MCC Lockdown will continue until Sunday or Monday evening. The admins will issue an "all clear" post once the event is over. After the event ends the dash may return to real-time. We are hoping that most of you will be "attending" the Miss Crystal Cove Ball and join in on all the Event fun as much as you can.Â
