A few days later. Night of the secret auction.

"How do I look?"
I glanced at Zach from the reflection in the mirror in front of me.
"Well... It's actually less ridiculous than I thought it would be," he laughed. It was finally the time to get dressed in my masquerade ensemble.
It took me almost an hour to get dressed, and that was with Zach's help. Neither of us had much experience with these slightly more artistic articles of clothing, but eventually we had it figured out.
"You remind me of the mysterious male lead of that one superhero anime. The one where the girls transformed into moon goddesses or whatever," he said.
I raised my eyebrow, unsure of what he was talking about. But my outfit certainly did look out of the ordinary.
"Is the invitation ready?" I asked, turning around to face him.
"Yep. It's right here," said Zach, holding up a golden envelope. "I've had it tested a few times to make sure that it works as you've described."
