(1205) Spring Coronation

[Jag]

This thread takes place IC on today's date, March 21st, 2012

It is time for the seasons to change once again, as the cold winds slowly fade away to give way to the warmth of Spring fill the parks of Sacramento, welcoming the Spring Equinox. As flowers start booming and beasts come out of hibernation, the season makes its presence known to the members of the Freehold. As its natural, the time for one Monarch to step down and pass the Freehold's crown to the next has come.

As guests enter the Four Seasons, they are greeted by the loyal hotel manager, the Wizened that runs the place in the name of the Freehold. He leads those in attendance through the halls of the hotel until they finally reach the Throne Room, which is no longer decorated with the ice statues from the Winter Coronation. However, the walls of the Hollow are still covered in ice, which is slowly starting to melt away as the seasons of sorrow say its goodbye to the Lost of Sacramento.

Off to the side is the normal buffet of food, arranged in a flawless fashion and decorated with elaborate flower arrangements. There are a variety of exotic dishes laid out on the table, each looks more delicious than the next. Sam, the ensorcelled bartender, is standing behind the bar as usual, waiting for the guests to arrive.

The hotel's staff is already congregating around the room. Big Swilla and Duncan are keeping an eye out to make sure everything goes as planned, greeting folks as they arrive. Gianna is sitting by the bar, making small talk with Sam.

And last but not least, Mrs. Rosemary, the chef of the hotel's restaurant "Fresh Tastes," is looking over the buffet to make sure everything is ready for the guests. The Ogress is wearing a simple green dress, which is a bit of a change from the white clothing and apron she wears when working the kitchen.

[Cameron]

Aldamoth arrived early, dressed in his usual attire. He was sporting a new dark blue tie, and his sword belt hung empty by his side, holding neither scabbard nor blade. As he entered the Throne Room he glanced around, looking for familiar faces. Apart from Mr. Bates himself, the only face he recognized was the charming visage of Big Swilla. He knew that he was terrible at small talk, but he had never let that stop him before.

Moving towards the overgrown reptile, Aldamoth spoke in a friendly tone, and wore a smile thin enough to hide his fangs "Ahh, we meet again Mr. Swilla, hows life been treating you?" He gave a side glance towards the buffet table, and became keenly aware of how hungry he was.

[Swift]

Magnus arrives early and empty handed, both somewhat unusual for him. His white oxford and black slacks and shoes seem to be the most concession he is willing to make to the formality of the event, and serve to make his red-stained hands even more stark. His beard is neatly trimmed and his hair is much more pepper than salt now, especially compared to the snow white coloration it had at the last coronation. His normal cooling mantle is present, but seems somewhat muted by the effects of the season and so many other Lost nearby.

The Winter Wizened makes a straight line to the bar, nodding to Sam. "Pinot Noir. Carneros."

[Tally Benoit]

Tally arrives wearing a long sleeve white shirt, a simple brown vest and wearing brown dress pants. Black slip on dress shoes, a gold necklace, and a beaded bracelet on her left wrist. She takes in the decor of the room as she walks over to the bar, she notices Rook there but continues to approach anyway.

"Hello Rook." She says to the Summer Courtier before requesting, "Could I have a hard lemonade, please?"

[Swift]

Magnus grunts and nods in acknowledgement Rook as he orders his drink. "Why Scotch?" While it is hard to read the Wizened, there is no inherent scorn in his voice, only curiosity.

[RebornSeas]

Clare entered the Hollow Commons, wearing a dress, specifically, the same one she had worn to the YMCA Gala. It was a nice dress, and certainly had a spring feel to it. Besides, Clare wasn't the type of girl to only wear something once, so she was glad to have another reason for the dress.

She looked around, noting that not many people had shown up yet, and decided to get herself some food, nodding to the other person at the table in greeting.

[Iblardora]

Reynard smiles lightly as he comes in, dressed in greens and deep purples. He moves in from the door, nodding to each person as he comes towards the table, with a bow to Mrs. Rosemary.

"Good evenin' ma'am."

[Irea Dimelo]

Irea slipped into the Throne Room, wearing a simple black sundress and a black shrug, but instead of lurking near a wall as per usual she headed straight for the bar. What party was complete without a little wine, after all? The darkling was determined to enjoy the coming season, to celebrate her homecoming, and to join the freehold in more than just oath.

"Red wine, please," Rea said to Sam before turning to the other Lost at the bar. "Evening, Tally, Rook, sir."
