## Preparations

Dragon and Bee assisted with getting food, and Rebellich and DrBloodMan did landscaping. Tokyo wrote up a speech, and made homemade invention, which she delivered to everyone.

## The Masquerade

The masquerade started in the outside portion of the Moondown Tavern. As the guests came in, Tokyo took a head count and noticed that Appel and Dragon were not there, but she figured they were busy so she didn't mind to much. Tokyo was shocked to see that Smokey had arrived, as she thought that he wouldn't show up. Tokyo was taken from her thought by NoctisPuffin, who stated she had a gift for Tokyo, an axolotl. She accepted and thanked Puffin, before she turned and stood on the stage, in front of the entry portal. She thanked everyone for coming, and greeted them, stating she knew that maybe now wasn't the best time for a party, but to hell with tension. She then instructed everyone to go through the portal, and back through. Once everyone was in the masquerade hall, they were greeted by DrBloodMan and Dak, who were standing guard by the entrance. People were weary, as they were in armor, but Tokyo explained it was because they were the guards of the event, to which Puffin stated was smart. Tokyo gave a small tour of the area, showing where the food table was, the seating area, and the dance floor. Shortly after the small tour, everyone dispersed into their own groups. Tokyo remained to talk to Puffin, in which their conversation simply spoke of their chaotic children, just as Rose used an invisibility potion, and began to mess with the other patrons. Tokyo simply chuckled, insisting it was okay, and began to go around talking to all the guest, with the occasional asking to not be on the vines of the ceiling, which was overgrown. Tokyo mentioned she didn't know why they were there, but they added nice decor. Tokyo spoke to the guests, explained that there would be a speech soon, and once again, thanked them for coming. Soon after that, Yokai got onto the chandeliar, and there were explosion sounds. People began to panic, as they thought something was happening, but Tokyo and Smokey, as well as DrBloodMan and Dak explained it was most likely just creepers, since Yokai was in the roof. Natarii, rather panicked, approached Tokyo saying she had a bad feeling, to which Tokyo disregarded, stating that "No one ever dies at masquerades, and if they do, its because of the butler, but we don't have a butler, so we're okay!" Natarii cautiously agreed, and took her seat, as Tokyo approached the stage.

### The Interruption

Tokyo took the stage, followed by DrBloodMan and Dak, who took their posts. Tokyo took a deep breath, before she began her speech. The speech read the following: "**Hello, and thank you for attending the first ever Devil Town Masquerade! Today we mark the beginning of a new era for us, as we witness the birth of a nation, and the start of the slowly growing, ever going, country of Devil Town. We start with the brand new tavern in the city, the Moondown Tavern. It would be that I would like to thank everyone. No matter how small a part you played, weather it's just attending, or actually helping with the construction. I would specifically like to thank Appel, for helping somewhat found the land.** (unfortunately, he could not be here with us today), **Dragon and Bee for assissting with food, and Rebel, for also helping gather things, and landscaping with DrBloodMan. May this be a fresh start in this world as we watch the country grow into a beauty. Please, enjoy yourselves."** Just as Tokyo finished her speech, there were sounds of explosions. As panic and worry spread through the hall, Alfie dropped through the hole. Panda, as well as Tokyo, began to yell at him, asking him what he thought he was doing. Tokyo tried to get close, constantly being blocked by DrBloodMan or Dak. Tokyo insisted they stand down, which they did reluctantly. Tokyo demanded that he remove his armor, and have a good reason for blowing through her roof. It was at this moment, Slinn dropped down from the ceiling, revealing that Slinn was alive again, and that Alfie was not alone. Panda began to drill into Alfie, asking why he was there, and Alfie got serious, asking Panda if he ever knew what it was like to lose your best friend in your arms. Panda, confused, said no. Alfie then switched his additude, and attacked Bappo, killing them quickly, while telling Panda he was about to know. Everyone stood either shocked or horrified. Tokyo grew more angry, going up to him and demanding to know the reason for his interruption. After Alfie had finished off Bappo, he gave a document to Panda, which Smokey swiped from him, reading it outloud. The document read the following, **"Declaration of war This is a declaration of war on AloofPanda27 due to his rebellion towards SpruceShire resulting in the death of King\_Slinn Signed: Alfie, SpruceShire president "** Smokey gave the document back simply stating "You're at war, congratulations." Tokyo, even more enraged, began to attack the president of SpruceShire. The two argued about the happenings, with Tokyo stating "oh, boo hoo, your husband died, I don't give a fuck" after Alfie asked if she paid attention to what happened at last event, due to Panda and Bappo. Smokey intervened as it may have gotten physical, telling Tokyo to calm down. When Tokyo declined, Smokey sliced her with his ax, gutting her in the process. Tokyo stumbled back, shocked, as Alfie left angrily, dragging Natarii along with him. Tokyo held her gut, as she forced everyone out, with DrBloodMan and Dak assissting, not noticing she was gravely injured.

### The Aftermath

After the guests all left, Tokyo took a moment to tend to her wounds. She was extremely woozy, due to the blood loss. Just as she was about to head home, Alfie returned, Natarii in tow. He requested to sit down, Aspect and Panda were on guard, demanding he leave, but Tokyo insisted to let him stay. Reluctantly, Panda allowed it, as Dak and DrBloodMan excused themselves for a few. Tokyo sat at one of the tables, Panda and Aspect to her left, Natarii and Alfie to her right. Alfie began by apologizing about the hole in her ceiling, saying he would replace it. Tokyo agreed, asking him why, and Alfie just said it was merely out of the desire for revenge. Tokyo agreed stating she understood. Tokyo then thanked Alfie for "having enough balls" to come and apologize to her, but said she wasn't going to forgive him. She brought up the mistreatment of Appel, to which Alfie attempted to defend himself, but Tokyo shut him down. Tokyo explained she was not going to stand for him coming into her country, while she was hosting a party, and spill blood and declare war on her land, she then stated that she would be joining Panda's rebellion even though she didn't care for him. Alfie said she joined the wrong side, and Panda stated that Tokyo being on his side, meant that he had an entire country to fight for him. Alfie sighed, angered, and told Natarii it was time to leave. Tokyo nodded, and painfully stood, saying she would escort them out of her country. She slowly lead them out, Panda and Aspect following along. Before they parted, Alfie reiterated that she made a bad choice, and that it was a mistake to be on Panda's side. He turned to leave, Natarii hanging back momentarily to give Tokyo some bandages. Tokyo headed back, and was greeted by DrBloodMan, who noticed the wound and assumed Alfie made it, to which Tokyo said no, Smokey was the cause. DrBloodMan got angry, stating he would kill Smokey, to which Tokyo insisted it wasn't that bad, and that she has faced worse, Smokey's gutting was not the worse one she experienced, but definitely up there. DrBloodMan sighed, agreeing Tokyo, and himself, have been through worse. Tokyo then went home, assisted by DrBloodMan and Yokai. For the first couple days, Yokai and DrBloodMan took turns watching Tokyo. A couple days after, Tokyo told DrBloodMan that she would be leaving temerparily, to go stay with Appel. DrBloodMan was rather displeased, explaining he'd be lost without her, and that he'd miss her, but Tokyo assured him it was only for a short time. DrBloodMan reluctantly agreed, after they agreed to meet at the water park if either needed something. Tokyo used an invisibility potion and went off to stay with Appel in the bunker they made.
