Location
The charity masquerade is being held at the RhyDin House on the Waterfront.
Mage lights, worked into the ground between paving stones, lead the way to the high-end restaurant. There is room enough for carriages to drive right beneath the cream colored awning that extends over the street, allowing patrons to step out of their carriage and right through the silver, wood carved doors into the lobby.
In the lobby, there is a well-sized waterfall that dominates the wall immediately across from the main double doors, effectively separating the lobby from the main dining room. There are seats along the edge of the pond that the waterfall flows into. For those less inclined to be near the water, there are chairs, couches, and settees scattered throughout the lobby amidst the small, silver-barked trees"with tiny mage lights and bells hung in their branches"that are planted in the actual floor.
To the immediate right of the entrance there is a desk, staffed by the ma"tre d'h"tel. To the left of the entrance is a coat check; behind the coat check desk is a smiling, young elven lady with chestnut brown hair, prepared to take coats and other belongings from any guest in exchange for a small ticket. Perpendicular to the coat check is a small bar for those who do not immediately wish to enter into the main room; the bar is stocked with only the highest end liquors from around the multiverse.
When escorted through the double doors to the right of the waterfall, guests find themselves in the main dining room of the restaurant. The floor of the main dining hall is covered in larger versions of the pink paving stones that line the outside walkway, giving patrons the feel of being outdoors. The high, arched ceiling, with glass so transparent it might as well not have been there, only adds to this effect, as do the walls. The walls are mostly made up of all glass, save for a slight partition at the bottom. There is a waterfall much like the one in the lobby in this room, only on a grander scale, to the left of the main entrance. Mage lights are hung throughout the room and cast a warm glow.
For the masque, the main room is arranged with only several long, wrought iron tables along the left wall, brimming with food. A small, temporary bar is also set up in the dining room, near the food. Several small caf" tables are situated near the food tables for those who do not wish to stand all evening. A stringed quarter is situated on the right side of the room, playing just loud enough for the music to waft through the area and encourage dancing without discouraging conversation. Waiters move around, delivering appetizers and drinks to the guests.
Those looking for a little fresh air can find it as the western wall (facing the sea) has been entirely removed for the occasion. The party is therefore able to spill out onto the reconstructed pier. There are benches set along the pier and at the end. The sound of the enchanting music mixes with the sounds of the sea splashing against the pier pilings.
Food/Drink There is a variety of food laid out on the tables for people to partake in. Most of the food is of the finger variety so people can keep moving. http://www.vacation-wedding-ideas.com/images/vaweddingreceptionbuffet.jpg http://www.wolfgangpuck.com/assets/images/micro-sites/weddings/menus/autumn_weddings/autumn_image6.jpg
The most notable of the desert foods is a collection of cupcakes with double-crossed swords displayed in icing on top: http://cdn.cakecentral.com/f/f1/900x900px-LL-f139c244_modulescopperminealbumsuserpics383883Knights_of_the_Round_Table.jpeg.
There is every type of liquor and a well-versed bartender to serve it to everyone without charge. Additionally, there is a tower of champagne glasses. http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6177/6188061140_234e26cc2d.jpg
