The Masquerade Parade was a resounding success. A large number of floats lined up on the path between Milltown and Dundee. As they moved along the path members of the ABV showered onlookers with doubloon pieces which could be exchanged for flowers, drinks and items of jewellery. The pieces are quite attractive, with the exception of a ring made of bone. It has a sharp spike jutting out, which gives some aid when attacking a foe. What it lacks in look it makes up for in usefulness.
I have put a necklace in the bank, to keep it safe until I can give it to Ellyana. The moment I saw the piece with its stones glinting in the rays of the 'rifter I knew she would love it.
The guild float turned out just as I'd hoped it would, as did my costume.
The Remnants of Kimald were worthy winners of a prize for the float they built. And Ivan won a prize for his costume. It was so good a likeness I had to keep checking if I was speaking with Ivan, or with Raffe.
All-in-all it was a spectacular event, and all enjoyed the turn.
Time to start making plans for the next Parade!
