The Final Ball
[For those of you in Splendor already, you'll probably have noticed the spooky decor the city has donned throughout the past week. With nothing else of of notice to be mentioned, it seemed like everything was just going to be a repeat of last year.
Then, as the clock struck 12:01AM on Halloween, all the Locals disappeared.
It may not have been obvious at first, they're fairly quiet folk anyway, but as the sun begins to set on Splendor, something is definitely odd in the city. There's a sort of electricity in the air, like the city itself is anticipating something. Finally, as the sun reaches the horizon, a notice appears on the notice board. Even if you're not in the metropolis district you'll be aware of it, as the notice will also transmit itself as text through the seals.
As is the city's rather irksome custom, the notice is somewhat cryptic, mentioning magic and atmosphere and the like. However, as the notice comes to a close, there is one very obvious, straightforward, and shocking line:
'The Music Box will return you tomorrow. Until then, please enjoy the Ball.'
And with that, the electricity in the air seems to reach a peak, and every current resident of Splendor will find themselves suddenly in the Metropolis District, in the immediate vicinity of the City Hall. The Hall is decked out as it was the year before, banners hanging up advertising the Halloween Ball, inviting everyone in.
However, someone (or rather, someones) very peculiar will also find themselves there, and the current residents of Splendor may be in for a very big surprise.]
[For those not in Splendor, you'll be going about your daily routine. Maybe you're having a dream, maybe you're at work, or maybe you're in the middle of a life or death struggle. Hey, maybe you're even dead - you know how Splendor works.
Whatever the situation, a flash of light suddenly appears, a Pegasus standing in front of you once the light clears. Without words, memories of the city you once knew flood back and you suddenly understand the situation - you're being given a chance to go back and relive those memories once last time. To say your goodbyes, to tie up loose ends, and to bring everything that you experienced to a satisfying end before returning home once again.
Should you choose to hop onto the horse's back, you will find yourself immediately in the Golden Entranceway, the Pegasus nowhere to be found. It will seem almost nostalgic, in a way, except this time you'll be surrounded by many others like you, and some rather festive decorations.
So, all of you new and old, welcome back to Splendor. Please enjoy the Ball.]
