Hello, newlydeads! Welcome to the end of your first week in paradise. Are you having fun yet? Of course you are - this is paradise! And the fun continues - nay, increases - with the official Welcome Gala!

By the end of the week, everyone in the city receives an invitation to attend a fancy masquerade ball held at the capitol building, square in the center of the sprawling city, and everyone is expected to attend. Your desired outfits and masks will be supplied (or not) by your magic closets. Go wild! After all, how often do you get a chance to get all glammed up for a night out?

And the glitz doesn’t end at attire! Inside the building, the main dance hall is full of bright, colored lights reflected by disco balls, uptempo music for you to get your groove on, and - you guessed it - an elaborate roller rink. No skates? No problem! There’s a magic closet here, too. Simply ask an attendant and you’ll be provided with an outta sight set of skates.



Food and drinks of all sorts are piled on tables and available at the bars stationed throughout the event area - literally any delicacy you can think of, plus plenty more you’ve probably never seen before. Drink, dance, and make merry for as long as you can, because the party won’t stop until - well, until the power abruptly cuts off near the end of the night.

The outage only lasts for a few minutes, but if you look outside, you’ll note that the entire city has been affected. And what’s even weirder is that everyone in the city, whether at the party or elsewhere, except for the new arrivals has gone completely still. They’re all frozen in place, like statues, completely unresponsive to any and all stimuli …

… Until the power flickers back on. At this point, every formerly frozen citizen reanimates, but their demeanor is drastically different. Before, they all seemed friendly and happy and welcoming, but now? Now they are cold, emotionless, mechanical, and they all seem to have a single goal in mind: MURDER. That’s right, folks, your neighbors have shown their true murderbot nature, and they’ve set their sights on you. Have fun fleeing the gala and doing your best to stay alive!
