-A masquerade will be held, in order to celebrate the development of the newly Established nation of Htrae Miseria. It will be a coming together of the leaders of several nations. The rules are as follows:
1. There are to be no weapons, and no objects that may cause harm. A search will occur upon arrival to the nation.
2. Issues and grievances between nations will not be addressed - that is, everybody is to behave in a peaceful and welcoming manner, to all nations.
3. The Masquerade will be a joyful event, where friendships and alliances can be forged, so all disruptive behaviour will not be tolerated. -

The Masquerade is now open. Located at the capital, Htrae, at the leaders own Estate. The doors are open to all, though there are guards at both the gates and at the doors. Food and beverage will be provided. Have Fun!

Kayla Christensen lifted her wrist, a sigh escaping her well rounded lips.
"8 'o clock, people should be arriving soon..."
The entire day had been spent getting the estate ready - setting up the ballroom, the parking, the security, the caterers, the music. the guest list, as well as making sure that other nations were greeted hospitably at the air port. Her heart fluttered within her chest as she thought of the night to come - and of course, other leaders were urged to stay the night at the nearby 5 star hotel.
Gathering her thoughts, Kayla took one more look at herself in the mirror, before adding the last touches. She was decked out in purple, her dress consisting of a corset, and bell-like skirts. Her shoulders remained bare, though they glittered in the minimal light. Bobby pins were all that held up her thick, auburn hair, strands falling in odd places, giving it a messy look. Upon her hands were pearl-coloured gloves, and she was devoid of jewellery. It was not her intention to show off her royalties tonight. It was her intention to invite and welcome friends, who would hopefully judge Htrae Miseria by the people, and not by the riches.
Last but not least, she took a plain purple mask, trimmed in pearl glitter, and placed it over her steel blue eyes. A satisfied smile crossed her lips as she then exited her room, and descended the grand marble staircase.
Frantically, she ran about to various points, in order to make sure everything was in order and ready to go. Once satisfied, she stationed herself at the large oak front doors, which were standing open to the cool night. Hoping that she had not forgotten anything important, Kayla waited to welcome her first guests.
