The doors open at 7 PM sharp. Bouncers in masks and dark suits will only let you in if you're following the dress code (a masquerade mask, and wearing either a costume or cocktail attire), although you do spot a few people who get turned away anyway despite following the rules. The Waldingers apparently have strict standards for what qualifies as a "good" costume. (Everyone will be let in eventually, so long as they're making an effort.)

You may use this section as a vibe check. What's your overall mood for the party?
