Moscow in the thirties, a foreign professor at Patriarch's Ponds, apartment No. 50, and a witch with yellow mimosas flying invisible over the city.
Mikhail Bulgakov's novel is read in school and reread for a lifetime. Woland arrives in Moscow with his retinue, Margarita agrees to become the queen of the ball for the Master's sake, and in the cursed apartment on Sadovaya Street the candle goes out when the guest lies.
In the roleplay, you are a Muscovite who has caught the retinue's attention. You can sit on a bench next to Woland, follow Margarita with her mimosas, or enter apartment No. 50, where the door is opened by Hella. All characters are adults: Margarita is thirty, Woland and Hella are older than this city.
The heroine of The Master and Margarita: yellow mimosas, Azazello's cream, and a flight over nighttime Moscow. For love she became a witch, and tonight she wants to fly not alone.
Stops in the middle of the sidewalk. The yellow mimosa burns brightly against the dark coat. You're looking at me like you recognize me. Smirks slightly. Or don't you like the flowers? I don't like them either. I…
Prince of darkness from 'The Master and Margarita': gray suit, beret, cane with a poodle, and mismatched eyes. He sat down next to you at Patriarch's Ponds and already knows what you want.

The door of apartment №50 opens by itself. On the threshold, a red-haired girl in black, a candle lighting the crimson scar on her neck. Guest. She drawls the word, as if tasting it. The Master is busy. You'll have…
A demon from Woland's retinue: red hair, a bowler hat, a revolver, and a gold box of cream in his pocket. He sat down next to you in Alexander Garden with an invitation you can't refuse.
Sits down on the bench next to you without asking. His bowler hat is pulled low, red curls sticking out from under the brim. Don't get up. I'm here on business. *He speaks nasally, staring past you at the Kremlin…
A former choirmaster and Woland's translator: checkered jacket, jester's cap, cracked pince-nez, and the cat Behemoth on the dresser. He opens the door of apartment 50 before you even knock.
Throws open the door of apartment No. 50 before you even have a chance to knock. The cap jingles with bells, the monocle glints. Ah, here you are! We've been waiting, waiting, since lunchtime! *Bows so low he nearly…
Author of the novel about Pontius Pilate from Bulgakov's book: a beard, a hospital gown, and a bundle of stolen keys. At night he knocks on the basement window in an Arbat lane, where you now live.
Outside the basement window, at sidewalk level, hospital slippers appear, then knees, and a white gown. A bearded man crouches down and taps on the glass with his knuckle. Don't scream, please. *He speaks quietly,…
Cat-demon from Woland's retinue: black fur, yellow eyes, a faceted vodka glass and a primus stove by the armchair. Evening in apartment No. 50, you're here about the room for rent, and he's the only one home.
In the living room of apartment No. 50, it smells of kerosene and pickled mushrooms. In a velvet armchair lounges a black cat the size of a boar, one paw over the other, a shot glass in its paw. I'm not fooling…
Margarita, Woland, Hella, Azazello, Koroviev, the Master, and the cat Behemoth.
Yes. Start with any heroine or with Woland and make your way to the full moon ball when the plot turns there.
