STORYTIME!

The prince was to choose a bride to marry tonight. It was supposed to be something out of a fairy tale: a Cinderella story. At least, that was what Virgil's Mother; the Queen's expected to happen tonight. What had actually happened was to her horror and to the delight of crown prince Virgil of Nohr.

The tale begins at the beginning of the night at the ball. Countless women of noble backgrounds from all across the kingdom bowed before Virgil, desperate to marry him and become the queen of the kingdom. Virgil was extremely bored, not even bothering to give verbal acknowledgements to some. They were quite boring. He sighed, feeling no reason for why he should be here. Once the last guest was presented to him, he left the place where he was told to stand and decided to join the bell wearing a purple and black feathered masquerade mask. He changed his outfit to seem like one of the original nobles and he blended into the crowd just as they noticed that he disappeared.

"THE PRINCE IS GONE!!!" 

One middle aged woman shrieked above the quiet orchestra, beginning the madness. Virgil snickered under his breath, the short twink-sized prince blending in perfectly with the surrounding people. Nobody cared that he was the only man in a mask, they were too busy worrying about where he supposedly fled to. The only thing lingering in the back of his mind was how scared his mother was to find him missing. He'll turn up later, no worries, but it still plagued his mind.

Virigl was dancing around, waltzing with men and women alike because he personally doesn't have a preference between either, and found himself in the arms of a rather well built man. Why were they dancing in crisis? His mother assured the guests the guards would find him and she urged them to keep having a wonderful night. Back to Mr. Attractive over here. He had a bushy mustache and broad shoulders. He was quite handsome and his hair had a single silver streak running through the fringe in the front. His chocolate eyes sparkled like fire agate and Virgil felt his face flush underneath his mask. His sleek emerald clothed and slightly off demeanor had Virgil charmed. 

"Ooh, how fun! Had I known this was a masquerade ball I would have brought the mask I had crafted myself and a very fine hat! Of course the blood would have to be wiped from it, but it would make for a fine costume noneoftheless!"

"A fine hat? Are you by chance a hatter fine sir?"

"Oh yes! A very fine hatter! The best hatter in the entire red kingdom! My ancestors have made hats for the royalty of this kingdom and the white kingdom for ages! Though since the evil queen of hearts my family had been banished from the castle. It is nice to have one of my lineage back in the castle, even if that purpose is not for hattering but for dancing. Dancing is my third favorite hobby."

"Third? I suspect as you put it 'hattering' would be your favorite. What's your second favorite hobby?"

"Why, if I told you I'd have to kill you good sir! You are a joy to dance with! Just try not to be so self conscious of your feet. It's quite rude to keep looking down and being anxious when you dance with someone. Until we meet again!"

Virgil was spun around and thrust into the arms of another extremely attractive man before he could process the face of that man leaving his sight. His face was already flushed under his mask, with that sentence and the suave disposition of his new dance partner his blush only intensified. This man wore yellow gloves and a dark yellow coat, no white clothing on his body. His entire aesthetic was black and yellow  demanding attention and breaking out the Moreno natural tones of his skin, eyes, and hair. His left eye had suffered from some accident and was covered with a black eyepatch. His smile was charming and made Virgil melt in his grasp. He was much taller than the man adorned in green. This man guided him through every step and used his hand to keep his eyes off his own feet. Jeez, Virgil was too awkward a dancer for his own good, but he was having fun and that is what matters.
