Roll a die. Pick one of the following. Dress it up, add details, and write up the marvelous little tidbit of prose for our delight and wonder! Try to avoid the saturated fats when deep-frying your writing...

1. A lighthearted scene of flirtation as witnessed by two old women in the background.
2. A lusty but graceful masquerade in a subdued tone.
3. An afternoon gathering of aristocrats practicing their artificial manners on each other, indulging in gossip and frivolous chatter.
4. A group of robbers or smugglers getting ready for an expedition.
5. A tragically futile duel indulged in for passion.
6. The rude and grotesque gathering of four monstrous clergy to practice their vices and ruses.

These scenes brought to you from a discarded photocopy of a page describing various classical dances...

(hey, I could have suggested you describe love potion number na-e-a-ine!)

keep writing!
