In the Four Seasons it cannot go unnoticed, after all, that stunning lady catches everyone's attention! And hey, that greenish man may be here as well. They are dancing the bolero, there in that corner perhaps a bit lonely. But of course, everyone can join them.
I thought I let you knowthe dance happens here

Mr. Bates pulls out a pocket watch from his coat, looks at the time and then places it back into its respective pocket. After doing this, he takes a quick look around the room and then heads over towards the bar to speak with Spartan.
This thread will be closing a week from today, on 7/28/2012. Please try to have all your conversations wrapped up by then
Spartan makes his way to the stage and looks out to his fellow sovereigns. He waits patiently for them to join him. "It is time" He says to anyone who may or may not be listening. Its three simple words that show this cannot be avoided, the seasons move, with or without them. He stands ready to take the crown.

Mrs. Rosemary, who had been tending to the buffet up until this point, turned towards the stage as Spartan walked up there. The Ogress gave a slight nod to her fellow sovereign, and made her way up there to join him as quickly as she could. "It is the time indeed," said the Verdant Queen to the hoplite, offering a warm smile to him.

The Winter Queen stood up from her seat in the left corner of the room. She gracefully made her way up to the stage, each step a cold and calculated move. Once she joined her fellow monarchs, Katrin offered a polite nod to each in turn without saying a word for the time being.
Jessica finally makes her way from the sewing circle and stands for a few moments by the door, watching the Coronation from a silent, awkward distance, waiting for the ceremony to conclude, so she can quietly disentangle herself from the social situation and escape.
Quietly wrapping up here, just in case. And the thread's ending, anyway.

Not long after Katrin, Rick detached himself from his own conversation and made his way to the dais. Like the Winter Queen, he offers a nod to each of his peers as he takes his place. Though unlike her he has a little something to chip in after Mrs. Rosemary. "As always, the wheel turns."

Once all four Sovereigns assumed their positions, Mr. Bates walked up to them carrying a red velvet cushion, upon which the Freehold crown rested. The Wizened gave a polite bow to the monarchs before holding out the cushion for Mrs. Rosemary to take the crown and pass it along to Spartan, officially marking the passing of the seasons.

Mrs. Rosemary smiled at the Chatelaine and carefully took the Freehold crown from the red velvet cushion. Once the crown was in her hands, the Ogress walked up to Spartan. "As is natural, the wheel of the seasons turns once again. The flowers of Spring have come to a full bloom, bringing refreshed hope and new ideas to the Freehold. But now it is time for the Verdant Court to make way for the Crimson, as the Summer heat rises and calls out for its King to take the Crown!" With those words, the Spring Queen smiled at the hoplite King once more before placing the crown on the Bloodbrute's head.

As the crown is placed on Spartan's head, there's a moment of silence as those around waited for the Wyrd to show proof that the seasons have truly changed. A mere seconds after the act took place, the throne room started to magically change as it did every season. The flowers on the walls were replaced by lit torches, burning with Summer's wrathful flames. The walls themselves seemed to turn into solid stone, as the room took on the appearance of a warrior's mead hall of sorts. While the overall atmosphere of the room was definitely more rustic than it was before, the heat wave that filled it was a sign of Summer's strength.
"Long live King Spartan!" called out Duncan, who had managed to get a few steps closer to watch the proceedings. His words were echoed by the rest of the hotel's staff.
