(1312) Coronation of Winter

    The Blue Note


    From the outside it looks relatively plain in it’s specific location, Changelings who had been kicking around Sacramento years might recognize it as the pace where Maxine’s once stood. Those who have been here for even longer might even remember the Empty Orchestra that had been bought out by the tacky Bar and Grill.

    Now the newly christened Jazz Club gives a bit of a colder and more nostalgic vibe. The exterior is now a throw back to the nineteen-twenties. Directly inside the door is a small sign that says ‘Private Party’. The changelings who have the eyes to see, or various other ways to learn things about where they are have seen the announcement of the Coronation.

    The first step into the bar evokes the cold winds as the temperature doesn’t change from outside to inside, and instead actually drops a few degrees in the passageway. Each person passing through can see their breath for a short moment before the inner warmth begins to work it’s way into them.

    After walking a few steps into the bar the rather large bearded form of someone who was likely typecast as a bouncer. Seeing as he wasn’t necessarily dressed ‘nice’ but was standing near enough to the door to dissuade people from entering who didn’t have specific permissions. To everyone entering, who has not otherwise met such a bouncer, they can assume that he is Mortal, he does however evoke the camaraderie of a shared pledge in anyone who has sworn the Freehold Commendation or the Freehold Seasonal Oath.

    In the room beyond, there a few tables scattered about, and on the far wall a stage where various sound equipment might rest and instead a large decorated tree stands slightly off center of the stage.

    A vinyl juke box is playing lightly from one of the nearby walls. The white-dreads ofGianna’s hardened mask are bouncing slightly near the juke box as she occasionally will change the music. Mrs. Rosemary is nowhere in sight but one side of the room has a feast prepared on it, as it is relatively customary for such events in Sacramento that the Spring chef knew about.

    Monarchs of the four courts are, as usual generally not visible at this time, though the occasional scent of violets occasionally drifts through room as if there were some in attendance.

    Down the hall where the restrooms are, between the two doors that indicate the split-gender restrooms, is a large ornate dressing mirror that is covered with the crystalline designs of ice.

    This Thread will be open from today (December 26th) to January 27th. In two weeks (January 9th) the thread will close to new arrivals. As usual split off into side conversations with an appropriate tag such as [WC2013] or [Winter Cornation 2013] in the Title/Subject.
    "My father says that almost the whole world is asleep.
    Everybody you know, everybody you see, everybody you talk to.
    He says that only a few people are awake,
    and they live in a state of constant, total amazement."

    Stripes saunters in. Another crowning since the Four Seasons, another unfamiliar location...

    For once, it's not mere happenstance that the tiger is first to a freehold function. Dressed in his usual slacks and dress shirt, more freshly washed and pressed, his hair and pelt both well-groomed and his darting mantle and full display. Autumn's Paladin seems to be taking his position seriously, especially with his season on its way out. It's only right that a ranking member of Autumn be present at the passing of the crown early, after all.

    Stripes pauses on his way in, noticing the bouncer. The tug of his own Freehold Oaths pointing him out brings him a slight smile and he tosses a quick nod to the Winter Courtier. Stripes doesn't have his own mask hardened, but it wasn't mentioned on the flier. Just winter being winter from the looks of it.

    "Nice day, huh?" he comments to the door guard as he keeps an eye open for anyone else that might show up

    Green arrives in an air of curiosity. Having never seen the Empty Orchestra, but nevertheless having heard of the tale of the establishment's loss during the Freehold's contest with its enemy, the big Elemental was surprised - and pleased - at the sudden change. The mountain is in his element as the seasons reach their turning point: wrapped in his tatty greatcoat with his work boots clomping heavily on the floor, he looms, filling the doorway and making it seem... small.

    "Hey," he grunts to the security, nodding in gruff, but friendly, recognition. His voice seems louder than it is, given the cold bubble of silence evoked by his Mantle as it interacts with the temperature effects.

    Green's first action is to make for the bar, where he orders himself a drink: a quality beer, if one is available. While he waits for his drink, he surveys the room, pointedly ignoring the ornate mirror for the time being.

    Conner felt a cold chill as he stepped over the threshold, exhaling some vapor. Nodding to the bouncer, he took note of his fellow Autumn changeling as he walked toward the bar, his third eye ever vigilant. Not that he could see anything through it. He'd go crazy trying to sort out what it saw. No. It simply served to creep people out.

    For the moment, he ignored the ornate mirror, sitting down next to the man-mountain. With little to do until the coronation was underway, he decided to have a drink, and ordered a martini.

    Jack stepped out of the taxi and made her way into the Jazz club, the clicking of her new heels seemed odd and rather out of place for Jack. In fact the Archery of the Lonely march was the most dressed up she had been at a freehold. She wore a simple blue evening dress and her hair was tied back nicely in a braid. She even was wearing makeup! Her mask was hardened to hide her awkward feet, and rodent facial features.

    Like a rat in a dress... I can't believe i can fit in these shoes Jack had thought to herself before coming to the party, which inspired the need to harden her mask.

    “Swilla” She nodded to the Bouncer politely, after all he held a title and was of her court. Most would ignore him but Jack knew better not to.

    Pausing inside the door way she looked around before spying Green at the bar. Ava and Mal weren't here so she made her way towards her comrade.

    “Evening Malcolm” she smirked and gave a way. So maybe her mannerisms didn't fit the get up, but she was trying. Things like this were not easy for Beasts to accomplish despite their best attempts. She has not broken a heel yet.

    She looked about the Jazz club as she made her way towards her fellow Archer, before she spied the mirror down the hall and paused only for a moment before turning to Malcolm with a smile.

    “Fancy place don’t you think?” She than proceeded to order her self a Hot Toddy.

    The one thing he was wishing for the most tonight was that they weren't all crazy.

    Buck wasn't dressed up, he didn't have anything that made it an option, so he was just in his hoodie and jeans. 'Cept for the horns he looked normal enough, but Buck was finding that he liked the horns. They were like battle scars or something, a sign that he came out on top.

    The place seemed cold to him, it wasn't anything specific, might just have been the season. He gave the bouncer a nod, hoping that it was enough of a greetings. The man's teeth bothered him, it was an animal thing. He avoids the bar, volunteering to hold up a wall where he can keep an eye on things like entrenches and tables full of food in case something happened to them.

    "Sup," Green greeted his fellow Courtier with a gruff but friendly nod. "Yeah... Yeah I think I the place. Maybe I'll come back later." His roving eyes took in the decor appreciatively. "We gotta new one, I think," he added with a subtle movement gesturing toward the Broadback. His eyes fell on Connor at last. "Think I've seen you around. Name's Green." He cracked his trade mark grin and found - much to his delight! - that he could mitigate the effect of his chasm-like smile. This time a more natural grin spread across the rock hard lines of his face. He saluted with his beer.

    Tally arrives wearing a light blue sweater sporting white snow flakes, a pair of jeans, and black runners. It wasn't long before she notices Conner, Stripes, Green, and Jack. Then she notices a new face, this one sporting horns and clover hooves.

    With a final look around for Al, she heads over to speak with the new Beast. "Hey there, I'm Tally." She says as her way of introduction.

    "Conner Smith. I think we met at Queen Jason's gathering." Conner lifted his martini in answer to Green's salute.

    He nods to the Beastwoman, muscles tensing as he sees the fangs. "I'm Buck. Hello Tally." He smiled, mostly to cover the tensing and the shiver that drove him to cross his arms and stick his hands in his armpits for warmth. "These things always so chilly, or is it a seasonal thing?"

    So far so good, talking to another person and not fucking up somehow. And she wasn't asking him to lock her in a room somewhere. Always a plus.
