Why So Serious?

Characters: OPEN
Progress: Continuous
Summary: Part II! Several hours into the Ball at Palace Alexandria, the party is crashed by an unwelcome clown. Chaos ensues.
Location: Palace Alexandria
Date: June 21st, 1803
Warnings: Violence. Potentially of the Graphic Nature

Considering the large number of attendants, the party had been going over rather well. People were dancing, laughing, and generally enjoying themselves. The sun had set long ago, and the full twin moons hung high in the Gaian sky. Things were in full swing, the wine beginning to flow more freely. There had been a few bumps in the road (the chefs nearly running out of finger-foods, and that one near-brawl that had drawn so much attention), but otherwise, an ideal party! And best of all, it seemed there was no sign of the much feared threat of a crazy-man's assault on their queen.

Yes, all in all, things were going very well...
