Dancing Through Life [OPEN]

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!]

[She blinks a little at that before she grins and accepts the offered handshake. This guy seems pretty nice for an adult, so consider the apology accepted.]

Hi Fai, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you too! [And then she seems to notice that his hair doesn't look normal, pointing up with a slight gasp] ...Hey, are those feathers on your head?

[Fai probably would be confused and a bit embarrassed to be thought of as an adult, despite being eighteen years old, but he'd have to admit that to her he certainly would seem like one.]

[Now he almost winces a bit, but turns it into another laugh.]


Ah, yes. I'm Flying type, see? So when I evolved, apparently I grew feathers. It was a bit of a surprise for me too, to tell the truth.

Oh... [Mary's part grass-type herself, but she hasn't exhibited any odd changes yet--at least, none that she's noticed. Still...]

Well, I think they look really nice! [If she was tall enough, she would probably try to touch them and see what they're like.]
comparative_insanity: (Baby it's just textbook stuff)

[Well, at any rate Fai is going to squat down a bit, because it's rude to talk to people while you're towering over them.]

Thank you, that's nice of you to say. [Someone appears to have broken off a rose from its stem earlier, so Fai levitates it in front of her, smiling.] So, Mary, did you sneak away from the party too?

[Ah, so cool! Mary reaches out to try to touch the rose levitating in front of her.]

Yeah. Most of the grown-ups are just talking, and my sister's somewhere else, I think. [She kind of lost track of Ib when she went off exploring, but that's okay, she'll catch up with her later since she likes being out here right now.] What about you? Why did you sneak away?
