(16WS) Coronation Winter Solstice

    The sign outside had been in place for a few days as a reminder that they would be closed that evening. During the days of jolliness and parties, it was best to give any regulars a heads up.

    Inside the Blue Note had been transformed into a Winter in the Woods sort of scene. Fake trees were brought in and covered with gently falling snow. The tables looked as if they were made of birch wood, set with tableware that appeared to be chipped out from ice. The temperature was chillier than normal, and L'aire hoped people would dress accordingly for the season, even indoors.

    It had been nearly a year since Katrin was there. The one Sovereign that had been a constant to their Freehold. Since some of the talk from the Autumn Luncheon, the Dancer knew without a doubt, that Katrin would have put a polite kabosh to that nonsense.

    Tonight was a night for the passing of the seasons. Each time, it really did feel like change. Nothing ever seemed routine for L'aire since Terri and then Rick departed for different reasons. The Freehold couldn't afford any more dwindling of numbers. To keep with traditions, the Fairest wore a gown that was between their seasonal colors this time. Was it silver or was it grey, only the Dancer knew.

    Softly shimmering gold flakes catch the light whenever she moves, delicate gilded and diamond scales extenuate the luminescent sapphires that are her eyes. The ocean lives in Sera's eyes, perfectly cut sapphires, gleam in the light. Deeper shades always shifting like the tide. The scales trail up to her temples and forehead. Her hair reaches down her back, brushing the back of her calves, spun silver and gold. Perfectly placed streaks of sea green are seen throughout her hair. Very fine diamond dust falls loose from her hair when she moves, reflecting rainbows from the light. The scales on her hands are dulled by the simple fact that her hands are translucent. There was an iridescent scale like skin that pulled delicately up from her ears. The membrane shimmered and created three curly points.

    Cherry blossoms gilded in gold bloom from her hair, tumbling down as a warm rejuvenating spring breeze gently kisses the air with the scent of freshly cut grass. The sound of birds singing can be heard as the wildflowers grow and bloom in vibrant colors where she walks, swaying and lively in the breeze.

    Treasured Nix

    Her first Coronation in the Freehold, a chance to be seen and to swear her Oath. But without a job, it had been an event in itself to find a dress that would be appropriate and that she could afford. A few had been seen that she liked, and having the prices she was able to scrape together the money. It might have been a second hand dress, but she loved the feel of the silk, the way the long skirt moved and the way the color played up her hair and gilded scales. She also snagged a shawl type thing of the same color and material to drape over her shoulders!

    The hair was a little trickier, she hadn’t had to dress to impress in a while. But she worked with what she had, and a few celebrity magazines gave her inspiration. She managed to pile her long hair on her head in low bun, held with way too many bobby pins! A few long pieces framed her face and trailed down her shoulders and back. She then went with a smoky eye, knowing it really played up the blue in her eyes, and a just clear lip gloss.

    Arriving at the Blue Note, she was taken aback by the winter wonderland that greeted her. Sapphire eyes widen in amazement as she takes in the trees and the birch wood tables. It was stunning!

    Her eyes soon found the inviting L'aire, it was hard to miss the beauty, and she makes her way slowly over.

    "This place is amazing!" she gushed of the decorations, "But they pale in comparison to you this evening, a beautiful dress." compliments the Nix with a genuine smile. Though inside she felt her second hand dress was inadequate compared to L'aire's.

    Green has been busy. Shopping for someone of his abnormally large size is a challenge at the best of times. Shopping for specifically business or evening attire, moreso; especially when coupled with the giant's low level of funds. Tailoring is out of reach so he had to dedicate himself to the hunt. Perhaps that is why, when he turns up, his suit is a mash of cuts and styles; and even then his jacket is a perhaps a little too tight across his broad shoulders. He did not intend to cut an intimidating figure but that is how he seems with his powerful limbs so emphasised.

    The hoary frost of icy epaulettes jingle as he walks; they quiver violently as he moves. The time to renew his Oath is upon him and his wyrd-infused corporals and badges of rank now carry a fragile beauty.

    He enters the Blue Note and sniffs. His face is a blank stoney mask, almost lacking in expression as he takes in the carefully constructed wonderland before him. L'aire is perhaps one of the few who could unlock the subtle range of his emotions - and in this case there is quiet approval.

    The Ice Clad Armiger add his own twist to the scene. The temperature suddenly drops - not a lot, but enough; the speed of the descent lends a certain bite to the air.

    "Uh. Yeah. You look good." The words stumble from his mouth. They were probably aimed at the Onyx Queen but given the direction of the mountain's face and the general lack of descriptors, they could equally have been meant for the Treasured in their midst. "Well. I'm here. Same as always. At least we got someone to talk to. Never know who's going to show these days."

    As was his want, the mountain purloined a jug of beer.

    The Fairest was just walking through the set up slowly, her eyes appraising the set up of all that was done by herself and staff. She wondered where Nathan Griffin was at present. Technically, it was his 'night off' but she would have presumed he would have been one of the first to arrive considering he was employed there. But L'aire had downgraded her expectations of people drastically over the years even if she carried hope that someone would change her mind.

    As she heard the main door to the Note open, the Dancer sashayed quickly to the entrance to great whoever may be entering. And entered an angelic figure whose beauty matched her own. "Welcome Sera!" She said joyfully, but not overzealous. "You can keep your wrap if you'd like. I don't expect everyone to be comfortable in here." Softly chuckling.

    The Dancer bowed her head slightly, "Thank you very much. I try to keep up only a few traditions. One of them was dressing according to the them of the night, or the respect of a Coronation. But, it's a choice I've personally made." She shrugged, knowing there had been plenty of times she was titivated for a function.

    "Your dress reminds me of laurels found in mythical Greek clothing or statutes in Athens. It's very stunning, Sera." As the two exchanged jeweled eyes, the Onyx Queen grinned ear to ear. "There are plenty of warm beverages to drink should the chill get to you at all. We are not always as cold as we seem." She winked.

    Green, like the Last Centurion of Winter, walked in with a whip of winter as his accompaniment. The style of his suit mattered not, but he looked like a force to be reckoned with, much like that of an Alberta Clipper. Broad shoulders seemed to be held together beneath his jacket, and if necessary, he would Hulk right out of it.

    L'aire's face lit with a smile and her glow emulated the area of the Note she stood. "Hello Malcolm." Her voice was warm and gracious to her fellow Winter. "Join us after you've grabbed your drink?"

    Turning back to Seraphina , "Have you two met yet?"

    She was running a little later then she'd like, but after the day she'd had it was expected. She'd finally gotten her dress from the tailor's. She'd gotten a proper corset sewn in, instead of the zipper that it had come with. While Mhairi ran a little hotter then normal, and vehemently hated the heat - the fire and flames - she knew that the Winter Coronation would be a cold one, and Mhairi might not be able to handle it, not with L'aire and Green's epic mantels combined with the bitterly cold winds at her own back. So she'd also order a soft winter shrug made to match her dress, but not so much that she could never wear it with anything else.

    The only thing that wasn't perfict about this was her heels. Of course she'd ordered a pair of completely splendid heels to match the dress she'd put so much thought into, but they were late to arrive and when they did, she discovered that one of the shoe's heels had broken off.

    Mhairi could have just used some crazy glue on it, but when the Wisp thought about it she almost vomited. She just couldn't do it. She'd have to take them to a proper cobbler. So instead of the heels that worked like pure magic with her dress, she settled on a pair of plain nude pumps. (Mhairi hadn't even realized she had a pair in the closet.)

    Her dress, made perfict with a few alterations was brown, like the bark of a tree, or the soil of the grown, with the shimmering, silver-grey sparkles of freshly fallen show. Autumn to Winter. Mhairi thought that it was the absolutely perfict dress when she first laid eyes on it.

    Mhairi shivered as she left the street for the Blue Note. Just like she thought. The inside was considerable colder then the outside.

    "Sorry I'm late." Mhairi gives the few gathered Lost an apologetic look. While realizing that while she was a little late, she still wasn't the latest. "I had a shoe emergency."

    Following the Mountain's trail, with a bright, "Hello Green," Mhairi went to grab a drink for herself, before returning to the Onyx Sovereign and the newest Fairest in the Freehold. "Sometime's I'm really jealous of how tall you are Queen L'aire. I could never pull of something that magnificent without some serious thought to my shoe situation." Taking a sip of her drink, "Where did you find that?" Mhairi asks Sera pointing at the golden dress that set of the other women's scales nicely, "It's very shiny and pretty."

    Treasured Nix

    She felt the drop in temperature, and considering how chilly it already was, that said a lot. As the chill creeped down her spine, she looks to see where it came from. And was greeted by the imposing presence of Green, which brought a warm smile to her face.

    “Hi Green!” greets the Nix.

    “Thank you, and I think I will.” She says with a chuckle pulling the wrap a little closer.

    Sapphire eyes look down at her dress as L’aire compliments it, “Oh thank you! I haven’t been to a Coronation in a couple months, so I wanted to make sure it was appropriate and all that.” The mention of it reminding her of a Greek statute, brought back memories of standing on the pedestal for her Keeper. It hadn’t been a horrible existence, but it was no way to live. But she still smiles, knowing it was a compliment coming from the Winter.

    “Oh, something warm sounds wonderful!” she replies. “I would have never guessed you were someone who was cold, you’re too lively and inviting.” She hoped it would be taken as a compliment, cause that’s how she meant it.

    When L’aire asks if she had meet Green, there was a nod and grin, “We have, I believe it was at the Luncheon. It’s nice to see you again, I hope you’ve been good.” Was she supposed to call him Green…or Malcom?

    As Mhairi appears, Sera takes in her dress and the colors. It was beautiful, and the Elemental wore it well.

    “Evening.” She greeted with a smile, knowing all too well about shoe emergencies. But currently she didn’t own enough shoes for it to a big problem, but there had been a time.

    Seems she made a great choice with the dress. “Oh, thank you. I, uh, found it at a cute little second hand shop downtown. I fell in love with the color and had to get it. And yeah, the shine helped too!” she says with a laugh. “The colors of your dress are beautiful! You look amazing.” She complimented.

    The Paladin of Shadows arrived, stuffing something into the bag she carried. She'd not tried running to the celebration in her dress this time. She'd changed around the corner instead. Nor had she awaited her Queen's arrival, nothing of the sort.

    Morgan arrived to the Blue note attired her usual red and gold dress on beneath her usual jacket. Slung over one shoulder was a full tote bag that matched her dress. In deference to fashion, she was wearing red dress shoes, but not high heels. Her acessories were were at least color coordinated: a red leather belt to hold her dagger and her black thigh holster was visible anytime she walked thanks to the slits of her dress.

    She'd not have been able to race in behind Mhairi if she had tried high heels.

    "Hiya! Nary a worry if ye art late Mhairi then, heh-heh, as aught would mean I am worse, heh. Apologies, " Morgan gave a small bow, though her eyes darted everywhere to take in the Blue note, "and salutations!" she straightened up with a friendly smile, "joyous to see ye L'Aire and Green, heh. And the newcomer returns too, tis heh, good."

    Her eyes briefly hardened when they lingered on the fancier dresses then the ones she wore. Not out of jealousy, such a thought never occurred to the Beast. She disapproved of the skirts having a limited range of movement on an instinctive level. As she was getting better at people she covered it up: "Uh...Imma, heh, under-dressed for this mayhaps?"

    The holiday season is a time of fun, family and escape from the dullness of the everyday world. Well, it is for those lucky enough not to work retail. For the unlucky ones it's a time of frantic labor, exhaustion and barely concealed panic. Alex is fortunate to have the time to attend the Winter Coronation, albeit at the cost of a double shift on Christmas Eve. He hopes this is more pleasure than business, but he's ready for drama...

    He's dressed simply, in slacks and a dress shirt covered by a sweater in anticipation of Winter chill. To fit the Season, the clothes are in subdued shades of gray and pastel blue.
    "Hello, everyone. Happy Holidays."

    Green moved over to L'aire and the others, jug of pale ale in his beefy hand. His ponderous tread was heavy; on the way he nodded to Morgan Origins and Alex Swami M .

    "Yeah. Uh. Hi... Seraphina?" The mountain intones at last. "Good to see you again." His gemstone eyes drift over the Treasured. "Well. Like, yeah. Its good." He added haltingly, her question requiring a response.

    He turned his attention to his motley-mate. "Not overdressed." He stated at Morgan, eyes lingering through curiosity rather than appreciation.

    A "Happy Holidays," is returned to Alex. He goes so far as to mechanically salute the Woodblood before he realises that he is the only one with a drink.

    "Mhairi?" The mountain finally responds to the Autumn Sovereign. There is a small frown creasing his rocky forehead. Shoe emergency?

    "Maybe we should, like, spread out a bit? We're blocking the door, yeah?" It was an observation. L'aire was had taken a place by the door to welcome her guests, and everyone had clustered around her like moths to a silver flame. The Blue Note was an intimate venue at the best of times; now, with so many clustering at the entrance, it was becoming a tight squeeze indeed.

    "I'll be in the back booth, yeah? If anyone needs me for a chat. Oh. Yeah - Alex. Mhairi. Yeah, L'aire - If you got a minute but I can catch up later, I guess... I got an idea you might want to think about. Yeah, for the Freehold." He added as an afterthought, free hand rising to tug on a non existent beard. In any case he was moving from the tight squeeze at the entrance to a now familiar booth in the back corner where he could hide yet still keep tabs on events.

    Smiling as the Elemental gave her reasons for the delay, it still was not as delayed as others. "Mhairi, it was worth the delay to see what a beautiful dress you picked out. Believe me, sometimes I still have shoe dilemmas." L'aire softly winked.

    As tempting as it was to lay her chilly hand on Seraphina , the Onyx resisted. "I've learned to hide it well, Sera."

    And yet another tried and true member of the Freehold arrived. "Never a problem Morgan, glad to see you. As they said, you are not under dressed, I think you look wonderful."

    "Happy Holidays to you too, Alex. Good to see you." But her attention was turned after Green had spoken.

    The Onyx Queen wasn't about to just let that slide from Green. When the Mountainous Man asked for something it was rare and often important. "Malcolm, I always have time for you."

    "If you will all excuse us please." She headed to the booth that he'd mentioned. "And please, everyone, help yourself to whatever you'd like."
