(16 VE) Coronation Vernal Equinox

[Lynn Mills]

Overhead the waiting buds swelled and burst open, filling the garden with a sudden splash of color and scent; joyfully announcing that the time of Spring had finally arrived. Lynn stepped forward into the echoing silence left by Artemis's announcement and smiled broadly at the assembled crowds.

"Welcome, one and all! We apologize for the time that you have been left to entertain yourselves while the Court was busy; but that time has passed and now is the time for new beginnings!"

"Any who wish to swear their allegiance to the Freehold are welcome to do so at this time, for the rest of you, please enjoy the party!"

[Lynn Mills]

Anybody who wants to swear the Freehold Oath can do so here.

Helen steps out just behind her Queen, in time to catch the end of Artemis' rousing announcement and Lynn's own inaugural address as sovereign.

The tiny wizened beams as the flowers burst into bloom, looking about at all of her fellow Lost. Having done her part inside the Rose Garden, she now feels less anxious about the task of socializing, of introducing herself to the other Changelings. In fact, she feels a thrill of excitement at the prospect.

But first, there's something she must do. After Lynn finishes her welcome with an invitation to pledge allegiance to the Freehold, Helen steps right up. "My Queen," she says with all due respect, "if it pleases you, I am ready to make make my pledge."

When Daisy makes her way back to join the others, she is struck still by the sight of Coco kneeling form. The wasp knelt, swearing her oaths...tying her once more to Spring. She wasn't leaving. Daisy's smile is brighter, and a sparky is seen within their pitch black eyes. She most definitely wished to make a friend of Ms Mantiserra, assuming that it were both of their efforts that kept the women from seeking Wraith.

Daisy waits under the archway, Sly padding close on silent paws, she waits until Coco takes her leave from the Verdant Queen before she makes her approach.

[Coco]

Coco emerged from the Rose Garden looking inappropriately somber for her Court's coronation day, but she did not hesitate to go swear her pledges. And, after those mystically binding words had been spoken, she sauntered back over to where she had left her duffel bags and began to construct a fair booth, first starting with a PVC frame and then adding cloth drapes to give it a festive and solid air.

Lastly, Coco unrolled a cloth Banner with the words "Booth of Desire" written in a rainbow of colors and hung it from the top of the gaily colored booth before she stepped forth began to call out to those assembled like a hawker at a fair, gesturing grandly with her cane.

"Come one, come all! Find pride in your passions! Step forward and proclaim your Desires so that they may come true! Let those of the Verdant Court help you make your dreams come true!"

All comers, continue here...

[Pixie Styx]

Daisy moves away from the Verdant Queen after she makes her Pledges. Her eyes quickly finding Coco's elegant form setting up...something! It must be what she said would catch her interest. With a smile, the fawn makes her way to her--to Coco, oh! A Desire booth! Daisy's certainly interested!

[Dusan]

Juno walked out behind the others, her tail curled in the manner of a Feline who was at ease. It pleased her immensely that all had seemed to go well with the Coronation thus far, but....and she glanced at Coco. She truly hoped that her newly minted friend would see success in her new role, though it sounded like her Passions ran deeper for Claviger. "I will be with you momentarily to assist you with the booth, but first I must take care of my Pledge responsibilities. One cannot serve the Freehold if one is not bound to it, eh?" With a saucy flick of her tail the Manticoress made her way over to Lynn.

Having sworn her pledges, Helen gives her new sovereign a winning smile. She'll take Lynn's hand for a brief moment and give it a heartening squeeze, if she's allowed to.

Then, she makes a bee-line for the drink table. What she needs right now is a stiff drink to go along with her good company. Her small form darts between the milling Changelings of the court, until she reaches her destination.

[Teeramus]

As Artemis rose from his bow his attention was split between pride for their new Queen and the gathered freehold to see their reactions. Watching people was something Artemis could do all day, but it took him only a few seconds to realise what the others of the spring court were now doing, pledging themselves to the Sovereign. He finally saw the Antler ring on the table and picked one up with delight, glad that it would fit on his little finger. He hastily made his way back to where Lynn was accepting the newcomers and re-pledges alike.

[Morgan Bellanar]

Morgan's arrival to Silver Gate seemed to see her dressed in her usual street attire. There were the black running sneakers, her beat up riding jacket, and a small backpack resting between her shoulder blades. Whenever she took a step with her right leg the red slit skirt flashed the thigh holster for her throwing knives. The black strap and case were a stark contrast against her pale, grey flesh.

...Morgan wasn't wearing her street clothes at all. Instead the slit, red Qipao dress she'd displayed before was back. It left her legs free to move, showing quite a bit but her interest was more that it made it easy to run. As she entered the courtyard of the Rose Garden, the Twilit Page couldnt' stop the chuckle as Artemis' booming voice could be heard. Morgan stopped to pick up a leaf as she listened to what Artemis was saying.

When she started to leave from the table, the man's introduction caused Morgan to freeze in mid stride. Oh she heard Lynn talking, but her only response right then was to tilt her head and let out an "Eh?" It took her brain a moment to process what exactly had been said about her dear friend and motley mate. "Lynn...queen? Queen Lynn...eh?" It was a work in progress.

As Morgan's brain rebooted, her feet moved to follow those swearing their oaths. Going to Lynn just felt like the thing to do, she had to congratulate her friend, right? Bafflement prevented her from worrying about who else had gathered there.
