(16 VE) Coronation Vernal Equinox

[Daniel Leto]

Daniel was wearing grey pants and a red sweater as he walked into the Rose Garden. The cool mist of his Mantle made it comfortable even as the weather continued to warm up to the California. Plus whatever material it was made out of didn't catch on the feathers on his stumps that often.

The Gravewight stuck his hands in his pockets as he looked around and didn't see anyone else had arrived yet. He wandered around looking at the new Spring growth and snagged a fruit pastry as he passed the buffet. There seemed to be change hanging in the air. Maybe it had to do with the up coming coronation of a new Spring King or Queen. Or maybe the fact that buds hadn't quite opened fully yet. Whatever the case there was a feeling that a new beginning was about to start in the courtyard.

Coming across the small table, Daniel inspected the 'gifts' curiously. Not sure, whether this was something he was supposed to wait for, he picked up one of the snowflakes to examine. No one was here to see yet after all, and if it was supposed to be presented later then he could just put it back.

Daniel picks up a medallion.

Outfit

[Mhairi Ankaa]

Mhairi hadn't been to the Rose Garden before, and was glad that she came when Spring was first making it's debut, the budding blooms, made the fiery elemental grin a silly crooked grin.

The Telluric's fell-flame eyes taking the grandeur before her, the sharp wind of her mantle playing with her hair as she came upon the table. She grabbed one of the bronze leaves, and quickly took off her necklace so she could string the key-chain upon it. Another moment and her necklace was fastened once more. If they were supposed to be for later, then well..oops. If not, then she has hers.

"Uh-Hi. Uh-Daniel, right?" Mhairi squeaked as she approached, hopping she got his name right. She didn't like the heat, despite of, or perhaps because of her own elemental leanings, and was not looking forward to the later Spring heat, and Summer's seeming unending flames. But she was grateful for the mist and fog surrounding the Winter. She breath in and smiled at the chill.

She hadn't known the dress code, taking in the sight of the gravewright's ensemble had her wondering. But she didn't think she could go wrong with a little black dress.

Mhairi take a key-chain and put it on her necklace chain

OOC

And yes this is Mhairi's 'face' (Ksenia Solo) in the dress!

[Lynn Mills]

Lynn made her way into the Rose Garden, with a gentle smile on her lips. It was the time of renewal and rebirth, of hope reborn after a long Winter season. This year would bring about even more changes than usual, with the departure of the Sovereigns. There would be new chances for all of them now. She wondered what the end of the day would bring. For the occasion she wearing a full length white silk dress, the bodice pattered with flowers and vines painted in watercolors and trailing down the length of the skirt. At the hem is another border of flowers, these reaching up to entwine with the vines from above. Every time she moved, it seemed like the flowers were swaying in the breeze. It'd cost her two months of sales; but when she'd seen it in the store window, she simply had to have it.

Walking into the garden, her eye fell on the table with the gifts laid out. It was fitting, to have something to remember the past by. Taking one of the rings, she slipped it over a finger, admiring the craftsmanship involved in such a thing. It was a fitting token. Taking a deep breath, she turned away and nodded at the other two standing in the garden with her. "Hello. If you'll excuse me, I believe I'll wait for the rest of the Court to arrive inside. It seems that we have a lot to discuss."

Taking a breath, she reached up and ran her fingers across the vines for luck. Today would bring so many changes.

Lynn will make her way inside.

[Malcolm Green]

Green appears: a towering giant of stock and stone.

He appears to be making a fashion of waring his ragged, thorn scarred, greatcoat for he is waring it again to the Coronation. With his dark grasses hair hanging flaccidly to his shoulders, his rock hard face and gemstone eyes, he certainly appears a grim aspect winter lingering into spring. His mantle is sharp and cold, flash freezing the air as he passes with ponderous tread.

He ignores the food and makes straight for the table with the trinkets. He nodded to @Lyn Mills Trickster as they passed, inclined his head to Daniel Leto Parable with an audible grunt that spoke volumes yet said nothing, and fixed Mhairi Ankaa Saber_Sloth with a flinty stare. To the Autumnal Elemental he gave a simple bark: "Seen you round. Call me Green." The mountain simply moved close to the table and reached down with a chunky arm, slowly lifting one of the Snowflake medallions in full view and without obvious care.

Standing stock still, his head moved as his eyes flashed, tracking the Sylvan Emissary and Steward as she disappeared into the restaurant's interior.

[Daniel Leto]

The brisk breeze made him turn, and smile in welcome to see ‘Moonshine’ as Ramona had called her.

“Hey, Mhairi,” he said as the woman with stars in her eyes took one of the leaf keychains. Daniel really hoped he hadn’t started something that was supposed to have waited till later. Though, his worries were slightly assuaged when Lynn as Lynn swept by in her silk dress to grab a ring and say hi before she went inside. Daniel could guess, given the short notice, that the Spring court still had some things to work out.

“Okay, good to see you Lynn. We’ll send any Springs your way if we see them,” he offered. It probably would be necessary but if there was a way he could help make things go smoothly, he’d do it.

The Mountain's arrival elicited a silent nod of respect. "Hey, Green," he said simply.

[Swami M]

Alex doesn't own anything resembling formal attire. The best he can do is one of the outfits he's been given to model at work. Straight out of Miami Vice, 80's nostalgia apparently being a thing for Millennial hipsters. It seems like something that will fit into a Spring gathering. At the Rose Garden, no less. He's still not sure if he should find that amusing or disturbing...

He pauses at the display of items just inside. Is this meant as a test of trust? Alex has been warned many times not to accept unprompted gifts from other fae. A bad idea, like it would be in prison. Come to think of it, a lot of the unwritten rules of Changeling society could apply to convicts as well. But these are supposed to be the good guys. After a moment's thought, he picks up one of the knives and moves to join the group mingling on the other side of the patio. He appears to be in luck; he's actually met everyone here.

"Hi, everybody..."

[Teeramus]

Entering the Rose Garden proudly wearing his newly acquired attire he breathed in a good amount of the fresh air that smelt of change, puffing out his chest and drawing himself up to his full height.

His eyes were drawn to another man mountain among the gather Lost and he caught the man's eye and gave a large smile with a small salute. It wasn't just the height, but the earthy appearance that gave Artemis a feeling of connection with the other imposing Changeling. "Hello all! I'm Artemis for those whom I haven't had the pleasure to meet." He said to those gathered in general.

Then he noticed the food and his attention was gone. He took a plate and piled it with legs of chicken, little sausages (so small that he needed to take quite a lot), some salad with extra croutons, he didn't stop till the plate was full. Turning while munching on a chicken leg he noticed through the door another Lost seated inside. Remembering the talk of a private meeting he thought he should investigate in case he should have some input.

Artemis joins the Spring meeting inside the Rose Garden.
