I guess you could say this is a masquerade. Though I never stated that when I invited my guests, it turned out this way because some guests were worried about meeting people they didn't want to meet here. With such a gathering it could have happened.

This way everyone can celebrate for their own reasons and forget who they are if they wish for it. The world is infinite but it's small at the same time and it's hard to relax and celebrate when you spot someone you dislike doing the same, don't you think?

If you wish for a mask it could be fixed.
