Out of curiosity, can anyone familiar enough with these events explain to me the purpose behind masquerade balls?

Is there cultural reasoning behind it, or do they really find the false illusion of pretending behind a mask and costume to be fun?

Perhaps I just don't understand the significance. Beorc nobility have the oddest ways of doing things.

[In preparing for the Naval ball this weekend (and all the fun restricting his wings under a cloak and pretending to be human for a night, oh goodie), Naesala's been wondering about the event itself.

That, and he's bored up in the crow's nest, currently avoiding most of the crew's new pets that seem to be cropping up day after day. Baby chicks and a cat and he's pretty sure there's a dog around somewhere? No thank you.]

People may introduce themselves if they are asked, but it's not always the case. This is mostly a guess on my end by the way.

That's fine, I've mostly gotten the gist by now. I can only come to a conclusion based on guesses, myself, unless I see firsthand.

So are you planning on going yourself? To find out what it is like?

I believe most of the crews have something planned, yes, ill-advised as it may be. Can't let the navy have all the fun.

I think some of our crew is going, but some are staying on board too. I'm going mostly for the small experience of actually going to one for once.

Enjoy it while you can, I suppose. It's likely to be an interesting night.

I get the feeling you'll be right in that case, especially since we know some of the navy might be there.

It's probable to see more than only "some".

Do you think most of them would be navy?

I think there's a very good chance.

Then I will have to be very careful then and I hope the others will be too.
