Shiro ran happily into her old families home, smiling at the interior. She turned to Kuro with a smile, "I like the updates. Very modern." She commented. "I can't wait to see how my room looks now! Besides, we can used things in there for decorations, and my phone to order things. Be back in a flash!"
She darted away from Kuro, and up the many stairs to her room. She flung open the door and sighed happily. It was beautiful, just her style, as it had been before, but with a few modern touches here and there. And her bathroom! Paradise!
But now she ignored them, and picked up some of the many trinkets she had laying around her room, suppose to bring good luck to those who possessed them. Little key chains, lanterns and small metal things, that they could hang up. After she'd gathered them into a pile, she picked up the phone beside her bed, and dialed a familiar number, waiting for the 'hello' on the other end. "Hello, it's Shiro," she began, she was on a first name basis with this store -or had been about 30 years ago- and she thought they would still remember. "Yes, the Shiro. Listen, I'll need about 100 balloons in...back and pink." Kuro should be alright with the black at least. "And say 20 packages of streamers, in the same colours. We'll need tablecloths and chair covers as well, and some confetti. And get me then number for a current good cake decorator, cost is no option."
She could hear the lady on the other line, repeating everything she said. Then she listed off the number of a cake decorator, and Shiro put her kindest voice on. "Thank you very much. Please deliver all that to the house, as soon as possible. This house wont decorate it's self!" She clicked the phone back on the receiver only to pick it right up again. Time to find out how good this new cake decorator really was, and then it was the caterers. It was so good to be planning a party again!

Kuro followed her sister slower. "Are we having a party or a ball?" She asked with a chuckle. Shiro was so enthusiastic about parties and was always trying to please her. But a party was about the guests. "Let us try your style this time, pastels and silver, sparkles, that kinda thing. We can use the black and pick to give it a bit of modern flare." She wanted Shiro to know she was welcome to lighten things up. Kuro wanted to make an entrance and standing out would do her the best.
"Tell them the usual food supplies on the tables, but instead of any whole animals turn them into more modern versions. I don't want people weirder out just yet." Her sister's room was so light, so when she waved and went to her own room, it was great. Black and purple, rick and dark. Lovely.
Kuro Wilde smiled and then went into the library/study area and used her powers to summon a large amount of parchment and her quill and ink. With a flick of her wrist and a quick muttering she wrote up a letter as follows:Greeting Residents of Kuro Shiro
The Twins of Kuro Shiro Manor cordially invite you to
a Grade Mystery Masquerade Ball
in honor of their return home after many years of travel.
Kuro and Shiro Wilde have spared no expense
providing the highest quality food and drink that money can buy

((Are we going to send a guild announcement about this, so everyone can show up? This is going to be fun!))
Shiro smiled as her sister gave he free reign on the design. Very well then! "Yes, hello, this is Shiro. Yes, Shiro Wilde, I know we've been gone for a while." She rolled her eyes, but smiled. Her and her sister were still well known here, as they should be. "I need a huge cake, in my colours this time around. Yes, they're the same. And all of the usual food, and lots of it." She paused, as the person confirmed everything. "And make all of that good, price is no issue. Deliver to the manor, as soon as possible."
Shiro clicked the phone back on the hook and eagerly dashed to Kuro's room, glancing at the invitation. "That looks great." She complimented. "Do you have a dress in mind Kuro, or were you going to buy one?" Shiro asked, wondering if she should pick on of the dresses that filled on section of her very large closet, or buy something a little more modern, specific to the occasion.

Kuro smiled. "I will go and get dressed," she said, waving at her sister as a sort of 'you'll see'. "I have a few things I never got to wear." With that, she retreated back to her purple-and-black bedroom and engulfed herself in her giant closet with clothes from all over and all sorts of time periods she'd managed to obtain.
((I will send an announcement lol))

Shiro smiled at her sister, rubbing her hands together in anticipation of their party. Then she dashed out herself to go pick something to wear. Her closet nearly exploded as she opened it, and she smiled seeing all the lovely dresses inside. So many options, what do I wear?! She stood back from the closet, with her hand over her mouth, face plastered in a thoughtful expression.
"Not that, not that—defiantly not that! What century is that even from?!—and not that one." She muttered to herself, diving deeper into her closet, glad to see there was no dust collected in here.

Kuro combed through her closet, she had so many thing, so many colors, styles, and ages. She sighed and started turning the ones she did not want to consider around on the hanger to mark that she had seen them.
After a while Kuro picked a unique dress, that was definitely her front and back in the dark purples and blacks that matched her bedroom and the details on the bodice.
Her heels were strappy and black, but unless someone tried to pull something her long dress would cover them. She picked a mask (feathers shorter than the picture) that complemented the dress and shoes well enough. She hoped the mask would help confuse the guests into thinking that the twins were one person who kept changing clothes. She didn't want them to know who the actual hosts were until near the end.
She also picked out a mask for afterward which hid less.
Smiling to herself about finally finding her outfit, she went back to her twin's room. "Find anything yet?"

((Wow, so pretty! I wanna wear that! )) Shiro turned just as Kuro entered the room, the dress (front and back) that she had picked, draped over her arm. The shoes she's chosen were laid down on the floor and her silver mask mask placed carefully on her bed. "I've decided on these." She told her sister, carrying the dress to lay it too down on the bed. She stood back, looking at her choices, then giving them an approving nod, she smiled. "What do you think Kiro? I like your choices a lot. Is this enough for me? I don't wanna be too overshadowed!" She babbled. Even though they were identical twins, she worried that Kuro's tougher style might make her look pale in comparison. she tried on her shoes, just as the doorbell rang.
"The decorations!" She jumped up and down happily, flinging the shoes off onto her bedroom floor. "We'd better start setting up!" She dashed through the house, heading for the door. ((I wasn't sure if Kuro was wearing her outfit or not, so if not, let me know and I'll edit my post.))

"You look fine, but most masquerades even today are a bit more flashy I think." Kuro shook her head, she set her clothes on her sister's bed. "I will be down in just a moment, I am going to set out some jewelry for you," she said, her sister and her often wore similar, but very different clothes. Honestly, she wished Shiro would just wear the same things so they could confuse people. Wasn't that the whole upside to being identical twins?
She picked up earrings, a necklace, a rings (one and two), and bracelets (one and two) for her sister that seemed to go good with the dress.
Yeah, that looked good! I love Shiro's dress... but... with an invite like that she needs to look one of a kind. This dress is probably the most her but she needs to stand out.. part of it was also she wanted Shiro to look good, so she looked good.
She picked out two other dresses (one and two) and one other set of heels just in case the guests arrived in more splendid attire than she expected.
Then she picked out herself a pair of Earrings, a necklaces, rings (one-right ring finger, Two-right index finger Three- right thumb), and bracelets (one and Two - on right wrist).
She dusted her hands, proud she managed to gather up the things for such an outfit when she was usually the one playing with swords and conditioning leather. She quickly dashed downstairs after Shiro.
"Yes, keep the tables set formal in the dining hall, I want the real food there, and finger foods need to be on the tables along the back of the ballroom please. Shiro you can handle where the decorations go?" If she wanted she'd just use a little magic and put things together but that wasn't so much fun.

"Can I handle decorating? Remember who you're talking to!" She laughed, and grabbed all the decorations, dashing into their big ballroom, to begin setting up based on her sister's preference. If only there was some wind in here, maybe she could convince it to blow some fresh scents in here. For now, she settles for candles.
She convinced some of the delivery people to help her carry the food onto the tables, smiling sweetly and thanking all of them, and the decorating was done before long, complete with Shiro's own lucky charms here and there. She glanced over her work, and satisfied, she rushed back upstairs to get herself ready.
Shiro paused in her room, looking at the dress she had picked, compared to Kuro's. Shiro generally preferred to be less flashy, but her and Kuro were the stars of the party, and besides, she would be in a mask for most of the night...
When she saw the dress her sister had laid out, she instantly fell in love. She moved over to it and ran her hand over it, instantly ditching her former plan. "I love this one, Kuro. I'll wear it. But I'm keeping my other heels," she told her sister. And the same mask. She added in her head, her mask would go with this dress, too. "And I love the jewelry. Thanks, sis!" She hugged her twin quickly. Kuro certainly knew how to stand out at a party, they were going to be bells of the ball!

"You are welcome, this is our party so we gotta stand out some, ya know?" She smiled. "Is everything ready? I want things to be perfect, we've been traveling all over the place and we are probably going to be the oldest people there, so we gotta show off."

Shiro tightened a balloon and then looked up to her sister. "We will be the oldest, and we don't look a day over thirty!" She chuckled happily. Then she stood over by Kuro, admiring her work. "Everything looks done to me. I hope everyone will like it. Do you think many people will come?" she asked, hoping lots of people would. She loved playing host for parties, and the masks would introduce a really fun element.

"I bet we will have a decent number. It is pretty much the only thing to do in town for the time being." Kuro pointed out. "Okay, let's go get dressed and start things up. We won't go into the room until people are here." She stuck a note on the door for the guests.
"There, now we can mingle after people get here and won't notice it's us." She hoped to snag a few interesting people to spend the night with.

Shiro jumped in excitement. "I hope you're right!" she called, as she flew up the stairs to go get ready. She was going to curl her hair, and she had to get herself into that dress! Then she would have to put the mask on just right so she didn't mess up hair hair and makeup. So much do to to make herself look the part, for one of the stars of the party!

A Sign hanging on the door reads as follows:
Welcome, make yourselves at home. If you get lost at any moment simply talk to a butler, they will be wearing plane white masks with red carnations in their lapels, white gloves and a black tuxedo.
There will be no magic able to be preformed in this area, no weapons are allowed other than transfiguration that one is capable of doing on their own without the aid of spells or potions.
Your hostesses will be joining the party once their presence is not as noticeable. They would like to partake in the mystery too.
Eat and drink your fill, anyone underage will not be able to partake in anything alcoholic.
