What: Lord and Lady Westenra's Halloween Masquerade
Who: UC from all over Europe. A big presence of German Empire/Prussian/Austrian ton specifically, his favorites. (It’s a good opportunity for ladies who haven’t done well in the latest English season to potentially snag a rich foreigner.) Additionally, anyone peripheral to the UC but that might have dealings underground with Gil probably got an invite and a suit/dress sent to them, as needed. This year invitations have been sent to Ishmael and the other vampires as well. <3 Ghosts also welcome!
Cost: none - invitations and portkeys sent
Where: "Nachzehrer-Nachlass" (Gil's private estate that very rarely opens to the public. If one wanders just too far, they might come across any number of bizarre things he's collected over the centuries. Or a crypt. There's definitely a crypt.) The estate is located just outside Königsberg.
Why: Gilbert's Birthday! Blame Olive
When: October 13
Detail on the house and gardens. Costumes and masques encouraged to help the supernatural fit in a little less obviously.
*For obvious reasons, this event is not being advertised as hosted by vampires. Gil does however employ human staff and they took care of most of the prep, with whatever whims Az decides to throw on top. (She's always his main consort.) Gilbert finds infinite amusement being surrounded by a giant buffet as a gift to himself for his birthday and is sentimental enough to bring them all to his own house. There may or may not be an opening for his birthday gift of choice this evening. //eyes
** Unless in the know as a business associate or approached, guests would never know the event IS hosted by vampires.
