(1312) Coronation of Winter

**Morgan Bellanar** · Jan 1st, 2014 09:15 PM

Morgan arrives on time and well dressed, though the former is a point of minor concern. The blue flower pattern sundress she is wearing now is the one given to her by the former Queen of Autumn, Terri Nutkins. She hoped to honor it well. As for the added blue vest, well it was a little cold and it didn't clash. A pocket watch chain can be seen hanging out of its left breast pocket. Not that the vest was lacking in pockets. Morgan had been tempted to try a salon to prepare but after the last time going...poorly she decided not to. A simple hair cut place had done the job instead.

She offers a friendly smile in greeting to the bouncer, "Heh-hello. N-n-nice day hope you get to visit the buffee," before moving along to not block the door.

The room was taken in with a quick sweep for the lay-out, her eyes pausing only on the buffet. The crowd took a second glance and she recognized most of the crowd. She waved hello to the folks she'd help teach knifing-stuff to. She knew several other folks as well, but they seemed to be in conversation. She is a little torn between greeting folks or grabbing yummy snacks.

She almost bumped into a some people. Despite what others might say about her mind, her reflexes were nothing to sniff at, "Whoa, heh-heh, excuse me. S-sorry d-didn't mean to-almost-do-that."

Having maintained her ability to be awkward at social events, she decides to do what is appropriate after such a success. Alcohol. She meekly waves hello to the folks she knows, "H-hi everybody. Heh-hope folks are having goof time thus far. A-any suggests for good-strong alcohol?" The bunny-girl was making the raccoon feel a little plain. Maybe she should've gone to a salon to prepare for this gathering?

OOC: The link is probably not the same dress but the old link I had for it is now dead and I don't have the image. But same style.

Mary took in the whole scene with great curiosity and interest, making note of all those already present, especially since she could still count them on her fingers. But ultimately her date was the most interesting one in the room, so she gave attention back to him.

Her head lazily lolling to one side that she can look up at her escort for the evening from another angle (something about standing next to the only man in the room who made her seem tiny still seemed to fascinate her), she studies his eyes as though reading her next lines in them. "Should we start off with drinks or mingle first?" Somehow she'd settled upon the single question she found most difficult to answer for herself.

"Yea, well, there's a very good reason for that." Tally admits, getting a look of sorrow on her face. "We recently lost our main gathering place along with last Summer's King and nobody knows what became of Terri, she was the previous Autumn Queen."

Nevada entered the establishment bundled up, giving a curious nod to the Bouncer, having not formally met him yet. Still, once she was past the lingering cold spot, and safely inside, she pulled off her long coat and hung it up, revealing a white dress with a holey overlay and a shell underneath. It was one of the nicer items in her wardrobe, and it fit for the evening.

Somehow, she had brought herself to car enough to dress up. Still, now was the Dilemma. She knew Jack, Green, Dominyk... Jack wasn't here yet, and Green seemed to be in conversation already. And Dominyk was with Mary. Well, at least she was friends with Mary. She headed over to them and raised a hand in greeting. "C-can I ask a f-favor? D-Dominyk, d-do you kn-know the other W-winter c-courtiers? I- I've only met a few, b-but I th-think there's more?"

Buck tenses up again, suddenly worried at what Tally said. "What happened?" He asked, warily. He didn't want to jump to conclusions without knowing more about the circumstances surrounding the loss of a Queen.

“I haven't quite found my Lancelot yet,” Aaren says half-jokingly, “which is probably for the best.” Easily referencing the story of the Lady of Shalot, and how her world shattered when the Lady turned from her mirrors to truly see her heart's desire. “Still, it doesn't stop me from looking. Maybe we all need something to shake our personal bubbles.” The Fairest gracefully shrugs her shoulders and takes another sip of her cider.

The Gandharva's features gave way to a wry humor, while a delicate Datura blossom fell forward in her hair. “I've always liked the story, more for the numerous pieces of Art it has inspired. Though, my favorite I haven't been able to see, as it is clear-across the country.”

**Dominyk Prise** · Jan 2nd, 2014 12:20 PM

“I was thinking drinks, do you want anything in particular, I could bring you something, if you’d like.” Dominyk gave Mary a perfect smile before noticing the Winter approaching.

The Scent of Chocolate emanates slightly form the pink suited Fairest, the scent mixes well with the floral flavours of the Muse on his arm. “Fraulein Neige” he said slipping into a bow to the Weisse Frau. “I will do what I can, though I dare say that Lady Lee would likely be a better guide than I am. She has been here in my absence and has likely not missed as much as I have.”

With a quick glance to Mary he slips his arm from her and offers a gloved hand to the White Lady.

“I was just about to get us something to drink, perhaps I can point out who I know on the way, and perhaps you can introduce me to some of the others as well, unless Lady Lee would prefer to join us, instead of being waited on?”

**Mary Lee** · Jan 2nd, 2014 12:43 PM

Mary smiles and offers Nevada a wave as she draws near, but seems a bit sadder for a moment when Dominyk lets go, before defaulting to her mask of happiness and remarking, "I might be able to help make a few introductions, but you know I really don't mind being waited on in the least. If you'd like, I will certainly come with you both, though."

Torn between laziness and staying close to a cute boy, Mary seems to default to giving someone else responsibility for her decisions. That might suggest the former won, but she seems open to compromise.

Jason was very, very uncomfortable. The mere fact that he was in a limo was strange enough, his unusually formal attire only adding to that feeling. But these were only a few of many small things causing him stress. His suit and the limo he was in were in fact the possessions of his apparent landlord, Dominyk, who had a penchant for causing the Beast headaches due to Jason's constant worry that he would find himself forever indebted to the Winter Fairest. They hadn't really hammered out every single detail of the agreement that had the Hunterheart crashing at Dominyk's place and it seemed as though every second brought a new reason to feel indebted to the Winter Courtier. Jason's current attire, luxurious ride, and place of residence were all provided by the Incubus and yet he had given Dominyk pretty much nothing in return. Last he checked, there was no such thing as a free lunch and that meant he was due to pay a big favor in return for his host's gracious deeds...

'At least I don't look half-bad, for once...' Despite the discomfort he felt around Dominyk, he did seem to have a good taste in suits. 'Excepting the garish pink thing he picked out for himself, anyway.' The suit he'd been loaned was mostly black with a bit of red hidden underneath. He was no fashion connoisseur, but the red of Summer hidden underneath the subdued black of Winter made for a strangely appropriate display on a Summer Courtier at a Winter coronation. To make himself look a bit more presentable, the Hunterheart had hardened his Mask while getting dressed. With his Mien suppressed, Jason could almost be described as handsome and didn't look nearly as menacing as some emaciated beast-man with blood-shot eyes. He had meant to look presentable since he intended to finally swear the Freehold Oath, something he had somehow avoided doing for far too long, and didn't want to appear as a starved dog before the new Queen of the Freehold, no matter how much he disliked Winter Sovereigns.

He waited for Dominyk and Mary to exit the vehicle first before giving a short sigh and following after them into the building, careful to keep a distance behind them and trying his best to appear presentable. A short chuckle escaped his mouth as he realized that the few acquaintances he had made might not even recognize him, seeing as he'd never worn anything so formal or bothered to disguise his Mien. He briefly scanned the room, waving to Ava Campbell and Morgan before moving towards the edge of the assembled Changelings, shivering slightly and surveying the crowd.

"I should probably mingle for once... I've been here for some time and yet I know so few people." He muttered to himself. Besides, if ever there was a time to make a good first impression, it should be the one time he looked cleaned up and had just stepped out of the same limo as a Courtier of the hosting season.

Stripes smiles as he sees others coming in. Quite a few familiar faces, plenty to enjoy mingling with.

With no sign of Autumn's Queen around just yet, Stripes starts for the bar. A fair number of changelings seem to be gathering around their and the tiger's throat is still feeling dry from the cold air outside. He pulls up a seat and flags the bartender for a glass of water.
