<small>[Now that the announcements had been made and the election concluded the Ballroom was free to serve its primary function. With guests flowing-in the room was abuzz with the sounds of conversation and, though the band had begun to play, it wasn't enough to completely drown-out the ambience. The resulting mixture of socializing and sonnets produced a sound filled with the energy of human liveliness and conjured to mind the kind of grand clubs you'd see in movies of Hollywood's Golden Age. The lighting was lowered but still plentiful to see your way around, and helped to draw the eyes of onlookers to the stage and dancefloor where guests and other attendees had eagerly gone to join-in on the evening's fun. While many had heeded the music's call-to-arms, many more still lined the edges of the room and simply enjoyed taking-in the sights and sounds. The tables are filled with people meeting up with friends or making new acquaintances but, though most tables are sufficiently filled to require sharing, there are still enough left empty that couples or groups can enjoy their privacy. Waiters dressed in formal attire glide between the rows, hors d'oeuvrs and drinks at-the-ready, and not a table goes unattended by their expert staff.

Many of the windows have small balcony accesses by them, with decorative wrought-iron fences marking out the areas that each lay claim to, but access to the balcony proper can be made through doors in the far corners of the ballroom. Out under the starry sky extends a wide marble terrace, resplendently-decorated with all the same decorations and finery found on the rest of the mansion. The sounds of the band can still be heard outside but it’s far more hushed, with only a handful of guests choosing to linger here and nearly all of them paired-off to talk about one thing or the other. Despite the gorgeous vistas and the impeccable architecture the atmosphere on the balcony is of a markedly more intimate nature than that of the ballroom itself, with it being unlikely that those seeking anything other than introspection or romance would find it a comfortable setting. Regardless of the location though, the opening of the ballroom has lit a match of new life for the festivities at Tohjo Falls. Whether the draw of the dancefloor, the camaraderie of sharing drinks with friends new or old, or the chance for a moment of quiet there’s something for everyone.]</small>
