Thank you, Madam Alizarin, for inviting me to your party. If you will tell me when it takes place, I will see if I can take time out of my busy schedule to come. I believe I will bring a cheese platter, and if anyone has cheese preferences, please tell me. 

I am wearing a dark red suit, black heeled boots and a black mask that's decorated with glowing red flowers and vines. I will bring peanut butter raspberry tarts. 

So... I know I'm late(ish) but I was wondering if I could still join in on your little 'party' since you just started this morning? 

If not, I understand. Thanks. :) 

OK THIS IS A FOOTNOTE that I forgot to add because I don't know what I'm doing but everyone must stay anonymous for the time being I'm sorry this is kind of a mess D:

Welcome

It is a dark and foggy evening. The guests have gradually trickled into the well-lit vestibule over the past ten minutes, casually chatting and removing their coats.  

Lady Cerulean is the last to arrive, who, upon stepping through the door and removing her coat, was greeted by the sound of the hostess making her way into the vestibule.  

“Good evening, all!” says Madam Alizarin. “Very glad to see you could all make it!”  

“Everyone else is here?” asks Cerulean. “Oh! I didn’t expect that, I just arrived--”  

“Yes, I know. Welcome, as I was saying, and thank you all for coming! Let's all go to the parlor!"

Mildly surprised by Alizarin’s accurate timing, the guests file through the door, down a short hallway, and into the parlor. There are a few sofas stiffly upholstered with a faded floral, vases filled with sculpted sticks, and cheerful green curtains that glow in the firelight. Despite the somewhat stuffy décor, the parlor is cozy and well-lit with electric bulbs.  

Those who are old friends sit down and began talking, and those who might not know everyone stroll around to greet each other. A bowl of grapefruits sits on a table, but they look like they might be made of wood...

[The start is rather slow, but the story is going to… hmm, how should I phrase this… ramp up.] 

I'd set my desserts down, then take a slice of cake and conversate with the other people.

The guests mill around the room, eating, chatting, and bouncing apparent grapefruits on various objects. Baroness Teal, who was rather new to the group, went around introducing herself.  No one seemed particularly out of place- except for two. 

One was Prof. Gamboge, who seemed to hesitate a bit before giving his name. The second was the Knight of the Royals, who hastily introduced themself with a "Salutations, m'lady" before dashing off to inspect the bowl of grapefruits.  

Royals plucked a grapefruity object from the bowl, bounced it a few times to ensure it was real, and then sliced it in midair- spraying juice on the disapproving Dr. Mauve.  

"You're lucky I'm wearing such a dark color," she snapped, brushing herself off and moving to a different seat.  

Mint, Malachite, Crimson, Ebony, and Alizarin were drifting in and out of conversation with each other- mostly about the weather, how delicious is this cake!- thank you for inviting us, your mask is lovely, what in heaven's name is Royals doing with that grapefruit, whyever did you bring so much yarn? As you'd guess! Just your basic typical ordinary conversation.  

Maroon, Lilac, Violet, and Gamboge had known each other since their years in university and were sitting comfortably in a group of chairs in the corner, catching up with each other's lives. Outside it began to sleet.   

Baroness Teal, meanwhile, was looking through the grapefruit bowl. Most of them were clearly wooden as soon as you touched them, but one as the bottom of the bowl was a bit softer.

Glancing around to make sure no one was watching, she took out the softer grapefruit. It was real, and leaking juice from a hole in the side that had been lying against the bowl. 

Teal looked at the hole. There was a dark grey chunk of metal inside, as if someone has quickly jammed the thing into the grapefruit to hide it. She stuck her finger in to try to pull it out... 

"Hi!" said Cerulean, carrying her cheese tray and a raspberry tart. "Would you like some ch- Wait, is there a hole in that grapefruit?"
