Brinley walked up the white marbled steps carefully. She was amazed at the sight of the mansion. Clusters of white flowers decorated the yard of the mansion, along with beautiful carved statues. She started to have second thoughts about her attire.
Of course, once her family found out about the key, they insisted that she buy the most exquisite and expensive dress she could find. But she hated clothing that restricted her, and was hard to walk in. Instead, she bought a pair of pocketed red leather boots, along with a white blouse, with lacing around the sleeves. For once, her hair was let down.
She grumbled as she walked up to the box. Why am I here again? Thats right, this stupid key. Brinley had found the key while working in a upperclassmen home. She'd found it in the boiler room, and the owner told her to keep it. Who would want a lousy piece of copper in their house? Turns out she struck lucky, after working in the White Rabbits house his workers insisted she would just have to come for the party. Not like she had a choice, her family would ditch her in a second if they found out she got a ticket to a rich mans house. It was weird she never saw his face though, and strange not now.
Never mind that... Brinley read through the boxes instructions. Must be some weird government safety measure... She dumped all of her belongings into the box. A few gears, aviation hat, pocket tools, and of course, the latest copy of Jhonn Hanse's Steam Mechanics And Tool Uses book. Not like she used them anyways.
She closed her eyes and dug her hands into the box. She ripped the attached paper straight out of the mask. "Reckless Aroura?" She turned the mask to see a mirrior. It had thin copper wiring around the edges, and was sculpted to be a face. "Great... now im mirror woman." She roughly slapped the mask on her face and tied it over her head. "Lets get this over and done with." She turned the oddly cold knob of the house and stared around the room.
Swirls of white and gold marbled the floor. Vases and antiques lay on tables around the room, with white flowers growing inside them. The first thing she noticed was the grand staircase, leading upstairs. She looked around the room to see some dressed like her, others dressed in expensive cloth and jewels.
She walked over and plopped herself down on one of the blue velvet couches and crossed her arms. She looked around to see no one talking. "Well, its supposed to be a party, isn't it? Why don't we talk?"
