Dancing Through Life [OPEN]

[niepokonany]

Who: Feliks, and whoever shows up. Mingle log, everyone's invited!
Where: The old Łukasiewicz manor
When: In the evening, on the day after spring's sudden onset.
Warning: Alcohol will be available? Otherwise, depends on the players--stick a warning in the subject line if anything gets out of hand.


The rumors and casual invitations started a long while ago, in the wake of Team Evolution's departure, but it took a while to nail down a date, and to shine up the rarely used public areas on the lower floor of the Łukasiewicz family estate, two floors on top of one of the towers towards the outskirts of the residential district. Paper invitations came several days ago, to damn near everyone with an address (though of course, the nobles' are on finer paper, hand-written by Feliks's grandparents and properly sealed.) Though everyone is invited, the general public has also been reminded to dress well and behave themselves presentably--it isn't every day you're invited into a noble house, is it?

Even for the nobles, honestly, it's rare to see this one. The heads of the family are aged, and while they often appear and are pleasant enough at everyone else's events, they have little energy for arranging their own in general.

They seem to have gone all out on this one, though, perhaps because the first ball of the spring demands it and perhaps because they're celebrating so many things at once. First there was Feliks's performance in the tournament, then his evolution, and of course they're still looking to find him a nice match. And spring, quite suddenly, is in the air, the weather pleasantly warm and the balcony gardens overflowing with blossoming flowers--a small legion of gardeners has been brought in to keep the plants under control, actually, given their overabundance lately.

The food and drinks are fantastic, varied, and plentiful, laid out at strategic points around the wide, gleaming dance floor. The best musicians from all over the city have been hired to encourage people to make use of it, and to keep the atmosphere nice and light.

So come on in--talk, dance, eat all the little berry pastry things, and welcome the spring!

[OOC: Will put up a couple of threads for different areas of the party to keep it organized, feel free to mingle and tag around with everyone!]

Right.

[ladyofluminosity]

[Oh come on, it really wasn't that bad, was it?]

Have you tried any of the h'orderves?

[indy_wannabe]

A few. I feel like the nobles are slumming it a bit, not a lot of weird, exotic and expensive food.

[ladyofluminosity]

Not everything has to be exotic to be good.

[And she couldn't really speak on the quality, since it would look bad if someone overheard.]

You should try the ones with the little orange dots garnishing the top. You might like that, if you want exotic.

[indy_wannabe]

[Ezreal obliges her suggestion]

Huh, not bad.

[ladyofluminosity]

The dish is fairly simple, but the garnish is what makes it. It's a type of fungus that grows on certain metapod larvae. I hear it's somewhat parasitic in nature. It's considered a delicacy.

[indy_wannabe]

...

[The rest of that's going into the trash can]

[ladyofluminosity]

I was joking!

[indy_wannabe]

You can never be too sure with noble food.

[ladyofluminosity]

We like to think ourselves adventurous, but we really aren't.

[indy_wannabe]

Fair enough.

[ladyofluminosity]

Why do you think I jumped at the occasion to explore new places? Most nobles are fairly boring in comparison.

[indy_wannabe]

I always figured it was my rugged Delver charm.

[ladyofluminosity]

Ezreal, you are many things. Rugged, you are not.

[indy_wannabe]

Awww, not even a little?

[ladyofluminosity]

[She steps up so she's standing right in front of him and crosses her arms, analyzing him with a thoughtful expression on her face.]

[indy_wannabe]

[Well that's one way to shut him up]

[ladyofluminosity]

[Savior bless corsets

She puts a hand on her hip with a smile.]

Not a single bit.

[indy_wannabe]

Guess I'll have to stop shaving regularly then.

[ladyofluminosity]

I doubt that that would help you much.

[indy_wannabe]

Wow, harsh!

[ladyofluminosity]

[She grins.]

Sometimes the truth is painful.

[indy_wannabe]

You sure don't pull punches either.

[ladyofluminosity]

Should I be?

[indy_wannabe]

I'd expected that'd be part of the whole "noble training" thing.
