  Welcome to the first official Amithis Society event of the school year! The scent of crisp autumn leaves fill the air and the temperatures are slowly dropping, heralding the start of a new school year as students flock to their separate engagements on a moonlit Friday night. A night of mythic proportions, the annual welcome back masquerade ball has fallen on Friday the 13th of October, but is that a bad omen or simply a coincidence?
  
  The magic in the air runs high, but tensions from previous years run higher as the new and returning members of the Amithis Society gather for a grand masquerade ball, side by side with a few alumni from previous years, faculty (well, mostly just Dr. Whitlock), and visiting casters who get to experience campus life. They have to behave themselves for now, knowing that in a couple of short hours the non-students will be off, leaving the students themselves to a night of enchantment, excitement, and potential debauchery as the Society members are left to their own devices.
  
  New friendships are formed, and old bonds are tested. Regardless of how you feel about those around you, the ball is a revered tradition that you don't want to spoil--or do you? As the night goes on, who knows what might happen--and what might be revealed.

so chill. 100% chill.

Rory clasped her hands in front of her, glancing out at the crowd. This was it. Her official speech as the current student leader of the Amithis Society. She cast a glance at Dorian Whitlock, the current faculty advisor of the Society, wishing that he would take matters into his own hands for once instead of letting the student president and vice president handle everything. He really was annoying that way, insistent that she get “hands on experience” (as if Rory was mad about getting more power; it was more of an irk that Dr.Whitlock should try harder at his job). But there weren’t just students out there currently–alumni and a couple of visiting casters were waiting in the crowd as well. She took a deep breath before beginning, glancing down at the cue cards she was clutching in her hands. Luckily, she had tested the microphone earlier to ensure that it was working.

She leaned into the microphone stand slightly, trying to keep the nerves at bay. The crowd wasn’t terribly large, perhaps fifty people at most including the students, alumni, and visiting casters. At least everyone had gotten the hint and dressed nice. Her own dress and makeup felt almost like armor in a way; dressing well had always served to help her feel more in control. And right now, the group was waiting for her to speak.

“Thank you for all attending the Amithis Society’s yearly welcome ball,” she said, glad that her nerves didn’t show through her voice. “To those new to the Society, welcome to the most interesting organization you’ll ever join, and we cannot wait to teach you about the fascinating world of magic. To those returning this year, remember to keep a polite demeanor so we can demonstrate the sophistication of the Society to the newcomers.” Well, at least until the alumni and faculty left early, as was tradition; she made sure to show the unspoken sentiment in her eyes but not her voice. In a couple of hours, the students could do as they pleased without the fear of getting in trouble over it. For the most part, Rory would be turning a blind eye to any possible debauchery that she knew was to come, assuming that no one got seriously hurt or did anything expulsion-worthy. “Last year was certainly a momentous year for the Amitihis Society. Our students made great strides in practical application of magic, and one of the seniors who graduated last year was even recruited to help with groundbreaking research on the topic of abjuration.” Momentous was one word for it, certainly. She only let the frown slide briefly across her face before plastering a pleasant expression on it as she continued.

“I am pleased to be the one serving as your student Society president this year, with Bellamy Hemingsworth as your vice president. If you need anything, the two of us are the people to talk to.” As she spoke his name, Rory gestured in Bellamy’s direction so the newbies would be able to see who she was talking about, though he had been present at the initiation ceremony as well, watching the students give their oaths and blood to bind them. She wouldn’t have chosen anyone else as the vice president, certain that he would live up to the role. “Our first official Society meeting for the year–well, first including the newbies, at least–will be held on October 19th, which is just under a week from today. Everyone’s attendance is expected. More information to come by way of your cards, so keep an eye out.” By this, she meant it would appear written on the back, replacing the original invitation to the Society with an easy bit of illusion magic. It was important for members to keep their original cards for this reason, or they were prone to missing important information. But they were certainly old enough to keep track of their belongings; they were college students, after all. However, it wasn’t as if a fair number of cards had been re-created for those absent-minded enough to lose them.

“As for magic classes and tutoring sessions, those will be discussed during the meeting. If you want to schedule a tutoring session with a specific person, feel free to seek them out to discuss it. In the meantime, we can all enjoy each other’s company, the refreshments, and the music.” She smiled out at the guests before closing her brief opening statements. Though Rory could be said to be a very sociable person, she didn’t love public speaking, so she kept her speech short and to the point. “Once again, congratulations to the new members and welcome back to the returning members. It’s coming to be a great year! If you need anything at all, don’t hesitate to come to me about it, and have a lovely evening, everyone. You deserve it.” Well, most of you, she couldn’t help but think as she saw Mallory out of the corner of her eye. But she was poised enough not to show her disdain on her face.

After she finished her speech, Rory left the microphone, walking over to where Bellamy stood with a relieved sigh. At least that was done and she could try to enjoy herself now. “Thank god I’m done with public speaking for the night,” she sighed, glancing at him. “Now all we have to do is make sure everyone else keeps it together in front of the adults.” Well, she knew they were technically adults as well, but she figured he knew what she meant. University students and adult adults seemed to be two different things at times, and this event was one of those times for sure. Rory suspected she wouldn’t truly relax until she knew that no one was planning anything particularly stupid tonight, and she figured Bellamy was well aware of that fact. He shared her job of ensuring order here, after all. She took a deep breath, trying to roll the tension out of her shoulders. This would be a good night.
