Chapter 1: The Invitation

Chapter Text

Dear Recipient,
You have hereby been invited to The Sanders' Family Royal Masquerade. We ask that you show up in all black and/or white. The fewer identifying details the better. Pulling your hair back, concealing any tattoos or identifying marks, and removing any piercings is strongly recommended and may be required in some cases. Attached is a check to purchase a new outfit, only to be worn to the masquerade, and under no circumstances to be worn anywhere else. A valet will park your vehicle and assign you a number so that your car will not be seen, nor will you see anyone else's, and a carriage will take you to the main event. If any stops are to be made before your arrival or after your departure then you are asked to stop behind the orchard to change into your evening's costume before arriving at the party or before stopping anywhere besides your residence. Come prepared with an alias, preferably formatted as "The ___" (Ex: In past years we've had "The Serpent", and "The Rat"), but some flexibility may be exhibited for this.

Conditions leading to expulsion:
-Colors other than black/white
-Unconcealed identifying marks
-Wearing articles that have been worn before in public
-Revealing identifying information at any point during the party
-Failure to comply with standard social eutectic

Eagerly Awaiting Your RSVP,
Thomas S.
