[Masquerade Locked] Do Come And Have A Seat!

[*The Butler]

Welcome to the MASQ.

Introduce yourself (stay in character... which means this is the only thread where you can always lie!)

The Guest List.

All of you should have gotten a letter, similar to this... you may wish to read it again...

The Letter.

[*Malcolm the Jester]

Felicitations, friends and fiends, on this exciting masquerade!
My curiosity's peaked as to what we shall learn as we begin our escapade.

Malcolm am I, Jester by trade, once to the King and Queen.
Murdered they were, by an enchanted knife, ne'er again to scream.
Blamed I was, by dastardly Kallak, then imprisoned within stone.
A lightning bolt did set me loose, free once again to roam.

My innocence proven, all lies exposed, now I am King of Kyrandia!
Yet my memory is long, and mischief my nature, so let mayhem rule the land-ia!

I leave you now, no time for sorrow,
Let's see who joins us all tomorrow!

[*Mrs White]

I received a similar letter...

Good evening. In my letter it said that during this ball, I'm only to be known as Mrs White.

[*Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte]

Is it that time of year again? Why not warm yourself up this fall with a seasonal favourite? Back for a limited time, please enjoy Starbucks' Pumpkin* Spice Latte. Topped with whipped cream and spiced with hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove, this beverage will put you in the mood for masquerading! Also available in iced or blended.

*warning: may not contain pumpkin

[*Squirrel of Midgard]

I have not received any such letter, yet here I am despite the lack of such missives - and now, foolish mortals, your DOOM is at hand! For I, the Squirrel of Midgard, shall gnaw through Yggdrasil and bring the Tree of Life crashing down! Mwahahaha!!

[sits down]

And yes, I will have a Pumpkin Spice Latte. Thank you. [sips latte]

What a delightful beverage you purport to be!
Sounds ever so tasty indeed, to me.

I'll partake of this autumnal delight, the flavor would be like a dream.
Especially to cleanse one's palette from the awful taste of Fish Crème!

[*Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte]

Please enjoy your lattes! Also, try our new Americano Blanco, a rich espresso with a hint of white chocolate flavour - and ask for it with pumpkin spice! Ask for everything with pumpkin spice! For all your "terrorizing of Kyrandia and Midgard" needs!

[*GLaDOS]

I have also received the letter. I personally prefer the company of nematodes to humans, who, frankly, offer far more intelligent conversation. However, I have decided to attend... for Science.

[sips espresso] Thank you, O Provider of All Caffeine-Enriched Beverages! When Kyrandia and Midgard lie devoid of life and bare under freezing stars, you shall be spared the terrible wrath of the Ice Giants.

If the Cake is a Lie, what about caffeine products?

[*Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte]

[sips espresso] Thank you, O Provider of All Caffeine-Enriched Beverages! When Kyrandia and Midgard lie devoid of life and bare under freezing stars, you shall be spared the terrible wrath of the Ice Giants.

When humanity suffers under the frozen wrath of the Ice Giants, Starbucks hope they too will enjoy the refreshing taste of our Iced Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino, now available in extra-venti sizes for our Jotunheim overlords.

The 7199 is a vacuum tube, combining a pentode and triode. Typically, the pentode was used for the input stage, and the triode as a phase inverter. The tube was used in a number of American guitar amplifiers; the Gibson Guitar Corporation, for instance, used the 7199 in 1961's Falcon for the reverb circuit. Ampeg also used the 7199 extensively. The 7199 has been out of production for a considerable time, and as a result is becoming increasingly rare on the market. Another tube of the same type found in far more plentiful supply is the 6U8A, which is electrically identical, but with a different pinout configuration. The 6U8A can be substituted for a 7199 with a slight modification to the wiring of its tube socket.
I am looking for Max, has anybody seen him ?

The cake is not a lie. All Enrichment Center volunteers are offered psychological counseling and cake. Have you been speaking to the Weighted Companion Cube? Remember that the Weighted Companion Cube cannot speak. Should the Weighted Companion Cube speak, you should not listen to what it says.

Aperture Science has had some interesting results with caffeine products, in particular when used in conjunction with non-diary mixer. The chemical composition of non-diary mixer is not entirely understood, but we have found that [REDACTED] can cause [REDACTED] in Mantis Men.

And I, for one, welcome our new and very cool overlords. I'd like to remind them as a trusted devourer of Yggdrasil, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground ice-cube caves.

[*Pocahontas]

Greetings my friends of the forest of... Sierralandia! The moons of October give us little time to finish our big harvest before winter! ...or else I would have attended the masquerade sooner. But! I am here, and happy to share some freshly baked pumpkin pie from our stone ovens. I promise you, it's much better than this "pumpkin" spice drink.
