《Escape The Night - Season 3》Episode 1, Part 1 - Let The Festivities Begin
Advertisement
My friends,
I have inherited a wonderful estate, a castle in the countryside. Don't ask questions about how I obtained such a property, it is not important. I would like to invite you to a ball on its grounds. The theme is the medieval era, and I have given you each a persona and costume to match. I have arranged for a carriage to pick you up at 7pm on Sunday evening. Be ready at that exact time or the carriage will leave without you.
I hope to see you there,
Joey Graceffa
No one guest was more confused than another. They were all confused, but they decided to go. It might just be Joey being theatrical as usual.
"Not again! Stop asking me!!" Oli shouted at the invite. He looked around at his friends in the room. They decided to meet up on the week of the anniversary of the day they faced death, and it was that week.
"Why did you send me this!" Eva said loudly. Tyler ripped up the invitation and threw it in the fireplace, quickly followed by the package.
"Why! Are! You! Inviting! Me!" Andrea said through gritted teeth as she ripped the invite up.
"I'm gonna go make a bonfire," Eva said.
———
The carriage arrived at the guests doors, but 4 stayed home, editing and recording and posting videos. One by one, the guests entered the house.
"Hi, I'm Phil, and I am The Carpenter."
Phil walked into the castle with a grey shirt and overalls. The overalls were a little worse for wear, as he would be wearing them for work. His grey, formal shoes also had wood shavings on them from work.
"My name is Sasha and I'm The Tailor."
Sasha entered the room wearing a purple gown, her huge sleeves almost touching the floor. Her hair was tied back in a plait going down her back, practical and stylish, and there was a handmade looking flower in her hair.
"I am Nathan, Nate for short, and I am The Songwriter."

Nate entered the castle with a beige tunic with baggy sleeves. He had a dark brown, unbuttoned waistcoat and black trousers, as well as brown, stylish boots.
"Hi there, I'm Yammy and I will be The Medium for the night."
Yammy walked into the room with a dark green, off the shoulder dress that almost touched the floor. The sleeves were also very large, like Sasha's. Her hair was half up, half down, styled like a true medieval princesses. Her green heels were just visible under her long dress.
"Hi. My name is, Dan. I will be The Blacksmith."
Dan wore a white shirt that looked a little worn. There were some tiny black stains on certain areas. He also wore overalls, that also looked like he had crafted many swords in them. He wore black, formal shoes, and blacksmiths gloves to add to the character.
"Hey, I'm Willow and I'm The Playwright."
Willow walked into the room with a dark pink and white dress. Her pink dress was over her white dress, and there were visible ribbons to keep the pink dress on. The white dress also had large sleeves. She had her hair down with a delicate looking silver headpiece.
"Hi, I'm Sean and I am The Constable."
Sean walked in looking authoritative with a fancy looking dark blue tunic, with black trousers on as well. His black boots looked perfect for chasing criminals down unknown alleyways.
"Hi, I'm Lauren and I will be The Alchemist."
Lauren walked into the castle wearing a red dress, this one without large sleeves, as it is less practical. Her black boots were visible under her dress. She also wore a dark red cloak with the hood up, and had a belt with a few tools she might use. Her hair was tied back, out of her face.
"Hey guys, I'm Mark and I am The Clerk."
Mark wore a fancy grey tunic with a dark grey waistcoat to match. He had a leather belt on as well as black trousers and formal black shoes, as if he was walking into work.

"Hi, I'm Stacy, The Hound Master for tonight."
Stacy walked in wearing a shorter, seemingly more practical dark grey dress with a black cloak. Her black boots were fairly heavy duty, and she also wore trousers under her dress. Her hair was tied back in a stylish, medieval but still practical way.
"Hi, I'm Joel, and I'm playing The Prince."
Joel wore a very noble looking blue tunic and a long, deep blue cloak. He wore dark blue trousers and knee high brown boots. He wore a belt with a golden buckle and a small silver crown on his head.
"Hey, I am Lizzie and I am The Princess since Joel is my fiancée."
Lizzie walked in wearing a regal blue gown, with large sleeves touching the floor and a sliver ribbon tied around her waist. Her hair was done in a very stylish, noble looking way. Like Joel, she also had a small silver crown on her head, marking her nobility.
"Hi there, my name is Oli and I am The Laird or landowner."
Oli had a fancy red, short sleeved tunic with a white shirt underneath with large sleeves. He wore deep red trousers and formal black shoes, and he looked every part the rich landowner.
"Hey, I am Tiffany Garcia, and I am The Crafter."
Tiffany wore a simple, elegant, purple gown, with dark purple heels just visible under her skirt. Her sleeves were large, but not as large as the other ladies' sleeves were. Her hair was tied back in a practical fashion, and she wore a handmade golden headpiece.
"Hi there, I'm SeaPeeKay aka Callum, The Glazier."
Callum, like Dan and Phil, wore overalls that looked a little worn. His beige shirt was practical, as the sleeves weren't puffy like some of the other gentlemen's were, and he wore practical black boots that also looked a little worn. Like Dan, he also wore heavy duty gloves, like you would wear if you were working with molten glass.
"Hi, I am Rosanna, and I will, of course, be playing The Baker."
Rosanna walked in in a gorgeous white gown with a silver waistband, looking almost like a bride. Her hair was tied back in a bun to keep it out of her face, and she even had a little chef's hat on.
"Hey, I'm Thomas Sanders and I am The Jester."
Thomas walked in wearing a bright red and bright blue stereotypical jester's outfit, even wearing the hat, although without the bells on the end. His boots were also red and blue, although a much darker shade.
"Hi, I am Zoe and I will be The Artist."
Zoe wore a black, practical looking gown, with her hair tied back in a stylish, yet practical way. Her black boots were clearly visible under her shorter dress. She also wore a painter's apron, covered with every colour of the rainbow as it had clearly been used frequently.
"Hello, I'm Joe Garret, more commonly known as Stampy Cat, and I am The Warrior."
Joe walked in wearing a floor length, dark brown cloak, lined with light brown fur. He wore a deep brown tunic and black, slightly ripped trousers. His black, heavy duty boots looked worn in, like he had worn them in battle. His two leather belts also had sheaths for any swords he may be carrying.
"Hi, I'm Lilly Singh and I am The Falconer."
Lilly wore a dark brown, short dress and deep brown trousers. She wore a black cloak and heavy duty brown, knee length boots. She also had a falconer glove on, with a falcon resting on her hand as she walked in, although she had to let it go very quickly.
———
The guests began to interact with one another. They started getting to know each other, and having drinks left out for them on a few tables. They laughed and talked, and enjoyed themselves.
Let them have fun. For soon, the festivities will begin. I'll have my fun, but I must wait. The host is yet to make his entrance.

The Genesis System
Genesis. It is the end of countless stories. The end of thousands of universes, billions of planets, and trillions of lives. But what is taken may also be given, as shown in the story of Cael King. A young man of Earth, knowing only a life of study and work in the relentless and endless pursuit of satisfaction. This is the origin of his story. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inspired by the system used in The Legend of Randid.ly Ghosthound. The system is an homage but the characters, world, and story are unique. I will post as often as I can and, given that I am not starting work until July, that should be pretty frequently. If you have any suggestions or comments please feel free to leave them as this is my first story and I'd love to improve both it and my writing style. This is my Patreon.
