(1303) Coronation of Spring

Apr 29th, 2013 01:56 PM

Jack raised up from her kneel and presented a final bow of her head to the newly crowned queen of Spring. Stepping away from the Dias, carefully not to nudge or get in the way of those who were approaching or leaving. She quickly sidestepped away from Niflymir due to his massive size, Jack felt it would be good to give him some space.

Did you really just do that? The thought ran through her mind, she felt her stomach explode as if hundred of butterflies had decided all at once to try and escape. She could not help but smile at the sensation, it felt simply put good.

Glancing across the throne room she looked for Degnar or the dark patch he may be in. Not spying him due to the sudden surge of movement with the coronation her attention quickly moved on. After all now she swore an oath perhaps she should meet a few more face. She quickly spied Sasha and a man with the cane she was speaking with. Okay so maybe meeting complete strangers was a bit bold, so this seemed like a good place to start.

That will be a good spring board...oh that was bad jack Her face scrunched at the terrible pun.

Slowly Jack made her way over to the Conversation, not before grabbing a piece of sliced cake from the buffet table

Jack chewed on the cake she had just picked up, her eyes slightly wide at the delightful taste that had bombarded her mouth. She made her way towards Sasha and Danny. Slowing down for a moment assessing their conversation.

Don't want to interrupt Jack thought her nerves attacking her judgment before she shook them off. Sasha had just returned from the Dias so now seemed like as good of time as any.

"Sasha" Jack says politely loud enough to be heard in the commotion of the room as she approached the two. Giving the woman she had met at the bar a polite nod before her eyes drifted to Danny. The man was slightly intimidating and she could not help but notice the strange flicker in his shadow. She briefly took a moment to take in the stranger before speaking softly.

"I hope I am not getting in the way. Um... the name is Jack" The hare shifted her plate around in her hands and wiped her free hand carefully to make sure it was not covered in any cake crumbs. Once certain it was clean she presented it to Danny.

Her eyes instinctively dart toward the mans fingers than to his mouth before she made an effort to look him in the eyes.

Danny gave a small smile as L'aire flattered him. It was pleasant to hear a beautiful voice singing his praises, even if it wasn't the one he wanted it to be - or the one he knew would one day call to him again, whispering him home to the place he truly belonged. But the Freehold here was home for now, in a way that it could not be forever. But for now.

"There are plenty of things I can't do," the Paladin said softly. "If everything came to me as easily as crafting does, then I would be the happiest man alive. Alas, it's not the case."

For a moment, his black eyes flickered towards Katrin, and he felt the enthralling, cold glisten of her presence, even from across the room. Then the newcomer approached, and he turned, letting the spell break as the firelight of his mantle flickered around him, making the shadows nearby flex and warp oddly.

"Jack?" the Wizened said thoughtfully, studying the relatively new Changeling. "I'm Danny Tongs, Autumn's Paladin of Shadows. It's nice to meet you."

Ava looked away almost immediately when she met the Spring Queen's answering smile, a small jolt of adrenaline propelling her back and out of the way of others that would be swearing. Relieved that there had been no stuttering or tripping, she took a few steady breaths and glanced around. The room had rearranged itself, with the former pockets of conversation converging on the dais and the buffet, specifically the elaborate cake, and she found herself at a bit of a loss.

What do I do now? It would be good to socialize, meet people, but when was the next time she was going to eat like this? For free, at that. She paused for a moment, torn between socializing and food. I need to meet people. But... that can happen organically, right?

Slightly sheepish, she slipped through the gathering to swing by the impressive cake, tipping a slice onto a plate before escaping once more. Taking a seat back at the table she had occupied with Mal she returned to her meal, momentarily content to simply people watch.

"No concerns? Really?" Jezebel gave Morgan a questioning look. Something didn't seem right about the night's events. The Blightbent didn't think for a moment that Morgan had anything to do with it, but she was surprised that the girl hadn't picked up on how strange the situation was.

"Violet's been here, what, six months? She just turns up out of the blue, sings a few pretty songs, then gets given a Court? That don't seem weird to you?" Jezebel asked. She looked around at the crowd of Changelings, trying to gauge whether or not anyone else seemed uncomfortable by the news. A small crowd seemed to be gathering around Ms Rosemary, but for all Jezebel knew, they were just lining up to get some cake.

And if she has been forced into giving up her seat, she's hardly gonna blurt it out all of a sudden in front of the new Queen.

"Huh? Summer? Uh, yea." Jezebel said, dragged from one line of thinking to another by Morgan's question. "Well, you've probably met Rook. Spartan and Anya are easy enough to pick out a crowd, though they ain't as approachable. Why'd you ask? Thinking of joining yourself?"

Stripes slides up and snatches some of the cake for himself. He starts away toward an open table, carefully levering a bite into his mouth as he goes.

He nearly drops the plate as he stops dead in his tracks.

This was good. Indescribably so. A blissful smile crosses the tiger's face as he almost drifts to the nearest seat to enjoy the treat. Suddenly Miss Rosemary's stepping down makes more sense. Stripes can't help but think even he'd be tempted to do the same for another slice...

Mrs. Rosemary's smile turns into an absolute ray of sunshine as first Heath and then Perry join their party. "Yes, Heath," she says, her words tinged with mirth, "there is plenty of cake for everyone. Please, take some and join us!"

"Of course, Perry! We would love to have you!"

The evening was turning out to be one of the best the Ogress had had all year. After all, the cake had turned out well and she was surrounded by friends. Add that to the sense of relief she felt at having the crown lifted from her brow.....well, what else could she possibly Desire?

L’aire had seen the sweet Runnerswift in passing moments before meeting Danny again. At the St. Pat’s day bar hop, the Dancer remembered that she was a tick nervous. She hoped she was easing up a little. “Well, hello again Jack. Good to see you.”

It was strange to hear her other name in the Throne Room but the Winter quickly realized why. “Oh, you can call me L’aire among the rest of us. Heavens no you’re not interrupting. Danny and I were just discussing about when we came to town originally.”

The Dancer’s hand extended toward the Beast near her in somewhat of a comforting motion, but she didn’t quite touch her. Danny being here reminded her that not everyone liked that at first. “So, how are you getting along so far? Need any help with anything?”

Tally enjoys her cake, she made sure to thank Mrs Rosemary before moving away. When they wanted to do the ceremony of passing the crown, she is a bit surprised to see that the Ogress not moving towards the stage. A very beautiful woman, clearly a high mantle Spring Courtier accepts the crown, a glance shows that Mrs Rosemary is content so she claps along with the others, careful of her plate. She smiles as changes to the Hollow occur.

Then the new Queen of Spring asks for those looking to pledge to the Freehold Oath or renewing their Oaths. She doubts that the new Queen wasn't unsuited for the crown or else there would be an incident like there had been during that one Summer coronation where the crown spoke.

She does a tour of the room in a slow fashion, she's fairly certain they can leave now but wants to wait until somebody else leaves first.

Anya gives the new Monarch a respectful bow of the head after speaking her Oath, then steps aside so that those behind her might do the same.

The Ogress moves away from podium, glancing back at those who were lining up to either take or renew their own oaths. From the sound of things, she wasn't the only new face in town. In a way that reassured her; the more targets the better as far as she was concerned. She considers striking up a conversation with one of the other new arrivals; but it seems most of them were busy with either conversation or cake at the moment...

She makes her way towards the rear of the room; patiently waiting until everyone is dismissed for the evening; pleased she had finally had the chance to make herself known within the Freehold.
