[center][I] Grand Hall [/I][/center]

Now that our hero arrived at the scene of the masquerade, he entered the ballroom in a strut! For a few minutes he would care not to look around, pay attention to those around him, and instead would let the scenery soak in. The atmosphere was of that he had never experienced before. He doubted that he had ever been this close to so many people at once! It almost gave him a panic attack, and the world slowed down for a second or two. All he could see were blurs of colors and the clashing of strange voices on his eardrums. It was as if the world had sped up, and left Lance behind! Fortunately, Lance regained his bearings quickly. Now that he could tell where one person ended and another began, his mission was clear.

It was time to mingle! Something that Lance had slightly dreaded, although he was relatively skilled at making conversations last with people he knew, starting up new ones with people who'm he had never met under strange circumstances wasn't exactly his forte. Every eye on his head was in a twist, none of them knew what to focus on! However, even under these slightly distressing conditions Lance was still able to enjoy himself a bit. However, there was one thing that caught his eye, and something that would keep his mind occupied when other's couldn't....there wasn't any food! 

Lance's simple mind glazed over the fact that more people then there should be wearing certain black and white masks, and was instead just absorbed by the notion of non-existent food as well as the continuous stream of new people surrounding him. It almost made him want to shout out to them, for they were just less than a foot away a large portion of the time, but also as far away as they could ever get. However, Lance had prepared himself for this. He may not always be the gutsiest person around, but now was his time to shine! 

He closed his eyes, took a step back(fortunately not into anyone) and took a deep breath. After a silent prayed to no god in particular had been prayed, Lance jumped forward at the person in front of him. Without even to bother at looking at the person first, he exhaled all of the courage he could muster. His courage sounded a bit like this, "Hey! Please tell me you're new here. Do you know much about this masquerade?" Although he didn't mean for it to happen, every single eye on his head rested on the person in front of him.
