Prince Albkind II has decided to hold a Ball to celebrate the successful conclusion of negotiations with the Dunkelelbe secessionist minority. This promises to bring and end to years long tension and conflict that has been occasionally violent. The ink on the agreement, which guarantees the minority both protections, but also special privileges, is literally dry, but it is not certain, if it will achieve it's goal.
Count Nidi of Schwarzenstein, leader of the Dunkelelbe will be the guest of honour, but foreign dignities are also invited. Elbenmark is a small country and it doesn't make sense to send a head of state. However, flexibility is allowed, especially if it is an interesting character.
I want this Ball to be more than just people struggling to make small talk, so I will be trying to create a plot. Maybe your character wants to ensure the peace agreement is a success, maybe they want to sabotage the agreement. Maybe the agreement is not important to your country, but you want to check the influence of a rival. Maybe your nation is communist and wants to make contacts with sympathetic elements in Elbenmark. Personal goals are also allowed and they can be combined. For example, a diplomat brings his daughter along to Balls, hoping to help her meet suitors. The key is to let me know what your character wants to do. If you write that your character is looking for someone to talk to, then they probably would just get small talk, if they are looking for someone who might spy for them, then they might notice the discontented official. Note, there may be some fantasy elements.
Rules:
RP politely, that means be considerate of what other players are doing, and don't have your character derail the whole RP.
No godmoding.
Write with proper grammar and formating. Capitalize and put spaces in-between the paragraphs.
No weapons or security in the Ballroom needed or allowed. If you want to assassinate someone ask OOC first.

RP Sample:
The Goal in Attending refers to why you are going to the Ball, if a diplomat, this is then the official instructions from your government. Motivation is more your personal reason. Maybe your character is a young diplomat looking to make his career, that would be motivation. Again, this could have little to do with the Ball or the agreement. For example, a diplomat is sent to the Ball, but doesn't care about it, rather his marriage is in crisis.
