    The Park was closed, and the Autumn Hollow was open, for tonight was the night that marked the change from Summer to Autumn.

    The overgrown and rusted shed, once seemingly out of the way and forgotten was a beacon to all of Sacramento's Lost.

    Passed the unassuming door, leads to a room that isn't a room, but a small enclosed clearing. Thick trees reaching higher then mortal thought, with nary a fresh leaf in sight. The barren branches reach their skeletal hands and nearly blot out the sun.

    Though their is a pair of branches, acting like arms and cradling tomes and scrolls, though only a few of them. Sadly all that remains on the great archive of autumn.

    Flitting around the edges where small sprights. Cackling among themselves, as they pranked each other and watched, waiting with a manic glee for an intruder to appear so they could prank them! Those sprights eyes turn towards each new arrival, waiting for the Ashen Queen's leave to sound the alarm....which never comes. The Sprights turn to each other, and each and everyone of them frowns - comically - when Mhairi just shook her head at them.

    In a fit of pique they turn to the set out tables laden with Autumn themed -- both Halloween and Harvest -- treats, only to be snapped at. These weren't for them, and no, the drinks weren't either!

    Tonight was the Autumn Equinox, tonight the Dread Crown rested on Mhairi's brow once more.

    A diadem of carved ash wood appears, the slim branches delicately encircle her head, spider-spun threads loop and twist from one branch to the next. Hanging from these threads are wilting leaves of lead, forever suspended in the moment of their fall. Curling into themselves, the wilting edges are tarnished, but their center is polished mirror bright. Whenever they find someone's refection, they reflect not the image presented to them, but the observers deepest fears, though thankfully only visible to them, added later during a Ritual are ash covered bronze leaves. Dancing betwixt it all, are motes of Mhairi's own fell-fire, flickering into forgotten runes and ancient sigils whenever the wisp's windblown mantle rustles her hair, or the threads themselves.

    Mhairi wore not a dress, but a pair of black leggings, a elfish inspired top with a stole of leaves thrown over her shoulders, upon her feet were the Autumn boots she'd found so many months before, and on her hand, the ring she wore when she first made her pledge and became Autumn's Queen.

    All that was left was to wait and see which of the Freehold would come and help her welcome Autumn to Sacramento....

    Mien

    Quick is crowned with an ostentatious arc of hair that resembles a jagged bolt of lightning. He is very lithe and slightly taller than his Mask appears. His skin is a very pale shade of teal, and is covered in tiny filaments like cracks which glow an orange-red. The tips of his fingers and toes come to points, and his shoulders have hard, jagged projections growing from them.

    Another Season's turn already? How long has Quick been here? He must be going native...

    And Autumn of all Seasons. The one he understands the least. Well, there's no time like the present, right? Before even passing into the shed, Quick can already imagine how ghoulish this place must look. He can see bats or spiders or something else Halloween-ish. Probably some angry tree with a face. Glowing eyes on the edges of the woods. Not that... any of that stuff actually invokes fear. Not for the Elemental. Which probably doesn't do it justice. Autumn is all about Fear, right? Real fear. What a miserable existence. Probably hard to make friends.

    A shrill little voice, cackling just on the perimeter, snaps Quick back into reality. He blinks a few more times than normal (for him) as he takes in the sights. Odd little fae creatures are the source of the cackling. There is a spread set out, of course, and Quick has half a mind to find the hardest drink he can. All that political nonsense from the last meeting is still fresh on his mind. Will this gathering be any different?

    Mhairi, the other Elemental and Queen of Autumn, is the only one he sees. Has he been here so long that he's the one showing up early for the party now? "Um... hey. Am I early?" He takes a moment to take in her outfit; its altogether so... fae. Like she's fully embracing her time spent in Arcadia. Though she's always had that air about her. The sort of just-too-fae bearing that reminds him entirely too much of his Keeper. Or any other one of Them.

    "Nice choice of outfit." he says finally. His own threads, little more than a sporty blue hoodie and black sweats, probably play nicely against the tint of his Mien's skin - yes, Quick has shown up to Autumn's coronation in his best approximation of a Halloween costume: his true form. Electric hair 'styled' and all. It's a bold statement and, yet, a meaningful one. He's part of this Freehold. His friends will see him as he truly is.

    "Not that I'm trying to get drunk or anything... but where's the good stuff?" He says, sounding a little nervous. "Not every day you 'come-out' to your Freehold." He points both thumbs towards himself for emphasis.

    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.

    Treasured Nix

    It was Autumns Season. And while the Nix didn’t usually look forward to the season, it meant the weather was getting colder, flowers died and shorts wouldn’t a thing anymore, it was Mhairi’s Season. And as such, she was looking forward to helping her celebrate.

    The problem was, what was she going to wear?! Sure, she could go all out with a beautiful dress and take it as an excuse to dress up, or she could go casual in leggings and a cute top. Torn, she decides to try something in the middle. A pinkish color slip dress with a kick ass leather coat she had. She let her hair dry naturally, so it had some waves and curls to it as it flowed around her face. Her makeup was actually quite natural, but the lack of it didn't diminish her beauty.

    Sera had never been in the shed, but remembered it from Edna’s and being told not to enter it without permission. Well, she had permission tonight. But she wasn’t sure what to expect, but the wide clearing wasn’t on the list.

    Sapphires take in the area, as well as the pixies? Sprites? She wasn’t sure which they were, but they were entertaining to watch. And she finds herself lost in their antics for a few moments before she remembers she wasn’t here to watch pixies. Giggling, she turns to those present.
    Which was Mhairi, looking regal and Queen like with her crown, and Quick.

    The crown was beautiful in a way that only an Autumn could make it. It always amazed her how no two crowns were the same, they always took characteristics from whom ever wore it. And the Wisps was terrifying, but exquisite at the same time. Though it did make her wonder what a crown would look like if she became Queen of Spring. How would it appear, what characteristics of hers would it take on.

    And it seemed she was a little over dressed. But it didn’t bother her. She was a Fairest and a Spring, dressing up and looking stunning was what she did. It was in her blood.

    Walking over with a warm smile, “Evening. Guess I overdressed.” She greets, “I must say, you look amazing. And your crown is simply breathtaking.” She compliments the Wisp.

    Smiling to Quick, “Hey you! How’ve you been?” she asks. "We need to set some time aside to spar again."

    Sasha

    The Dancer arrived to the Autumns Hollow in a timely manner. It was still so foreign to her to come to something other than the old places, and familiar faces. But, she'd adapt somehow. Sasha's hair was pinned up, exposing the full length of her neck. The dress was simple, yet a blend of both Winter and Autumn alike. She saw it in the spring online the previous year. Unfortunately, her shopping was all online as of late. It wasn't her favorite way of doing things, she liked to feel fabrics and the flow of the outfit before buying it. Thankfully, the descriptions were far more accurate as of late.

    Sasha walked in with a soft grin on her face. The purples in the dress made her eyes pop, and with the lack of locks surrounding her face, that was the most outstanding feature of the Fairest.

    To her, coronations would always be a time of dressing the best. It was her own form of honoring whoever was the seasonal Sovereign at that time. The Dancer walked so smoothly over to the group, it was as if she was floating.

    "Good evening everyone. Mhairi, you look magnificent. Sera, beautiful color on you. Quick, you look like your adorable self." She smiled sweetly.

    Thomas Land

    Beast: Cleareyes


    Mien

    Thomas’s true face leaves no doubt as to his seeming. Indeed, his appearence is more mole than human. His whole head comes to the fleshly point of an elongated nose. His hair or more properly fur is dark brown and travels down his forehead and cheeks, stopping just before his pink nose. His eyes are smaller, beadier. His back is more hunched, he’s shorter, and his body and limbs seem thicker. His hands and feet are larger and tipped with dirt-caked claws.
    Mask

    Thomas is an unassuming, middle-aged man, standing at just over 5’5” with a hunch to his back. Despite his slight stature, he still has a stocky build with something of a barrel chest and thick arms and legs. His dark blond hair is thinning and messy atop his large head. His blue eyes are set wide apart and slightly asymmetrical. Wire-rimmed glasses perch high on the bridge of a pointy nose. His attire is generically professorial: tweed jackets, slacks, button-up shirts, ties, and sweaters.
    Mantle

    Thomas’s mantle manifests as a pervasive smell of wet earth. There always seems to be a dead leaf or two, wet and brown, stuck to his person.

    PRE

    Thomas is running late, but he doesn't mind. Not tonight. Tonight, he's in abnormally high spirits. It's Autumn's evening, after all. And he's excited for the festivities.

    The Mole-Man's dressed to the nines, at least for him. A dark blue suit, light blue tie. Even a yellow pocket square. It's almost a flattering fit. He rarely wears this outfit, but the time seems right.

    Truth be told, he's late for a reason. And the reason is pizza. Large cheese, to be exact. A gift for the Sprights. He carries the box in both hands, trying to keep it well away from his fancy clothes. The effect is quite ridiculous.

    Bustling into the hollow, he stops for a moment to admire the tall, leafless trees once again. He very much likes this place and, in this moment, decides that he simply must spend more time here.

    He sets the pizza down at the first available spot, opening the box, and motioning for the tiny trouble-makers to have at it with a flourish. Perhaps this will earn their trust. He'd like, very much, to examine them more closely. And this is as good a first step as any.

    That done, he approaches his fellow Lost.

    First, Mhairi. He actually gives the Autumn Monarch a bow, returning upright with a smile. "Hm-hmmm, simply stunning. Yes, quite. You are the, ah, picture of a Queen. I hope you are, um, well, Mhairi."

    Then to Sera, "Good evening to you, Seraphina. How have you been? Good I, hm, hope?"

    And now, Quick: "My! What a, well, pleasant surprise to see you. Really see you, I mean." The way those beady Mole's eyes examine the elemental, you'd think he was examining a stunning work of art. Or a very interesting specimen.

    Finally, Sasha, a respectful nod of the head: "Well hello," he says, seemingly bashful. "You are looking lovely as always, Sasha."

    Very much like her Mask. However, her skin takes on a more reflective, rubbery texture and she appears... thinner... with limbs that are slightly too long and thin for her general proportions. There is also faint traces of webbing between her fingers and toes.

    Ingrid appears, pushing her floppy peaked cap onto the back of her head as she took in the view. "Whoa!" The formless word escapes her lips. After which her first focus is... the sprites. See, the puckish little hobs have been pointing and giggling. So she points and giggles and makes faces back. She gets right into it, to the point of ignoring everything else.

    The Darkling is still in her working clothes. Jeans, running shoes, a shirt and a jacket. Eventually, she manages to free herself from the back and forth of jibe and jape; she makes her way over to the tables... But doesn't get very far there, either.

    For she spies a familiar, yet completely unfamiliar, form.

    "Quick! Omigod! Omigod! Quick! Whats with the Mein!" And when she approaches the Onyx Courtier with jazz hands waving. "And is that a Mantle! Omigod!"

    Tonight it would appear the Emerald Courtier has tunnel vision.

    Alexander Brown

    In a beige two-piece suit and a pair of oxblood shoes to match, the King of Summer enters the shed and makes his way through the clearing. The barren tree branches, the near-absence of the sun, even the occult tomes create a gloomy, dark atmosphere Alex could swear congeals on his outfit and body in the form of black grease. By the time he reaches his goal the spright-based alarm system is probably more interested in pizza than new arrivals, but some still take their time to ridicule the Mirrorskin, who responds with an irritated look.

    Some of his fellow Lost have already made their way here. There's Thomas, obviously and Quick who's finally got enough courage to show himslef as he truly is, and... wait, is that a Mantle? A Winter Mantle? Not that it's not a fitting choice, but... good going, L'aire. Nice catch he thinks with a smile. Both men receive a nod and an offered handshake. "Good to see you, James" then "Mr. Land"

    The Spring Court's fashion choices for the evening are obviously uncoordinated. They both receive a nod conveying respect and a warm greeting smile "A detective in a place of mystery. How fitting!"
    What? A little ice-breaker never killed anyone.

    "Hello, Sera! Where does one wait in line to tell you how radiant you look this evening?" Their nascent relationship's turned sour pretty quickly. If he's to remedy that, he can as well start today.

    The Darkling's heart skips a bit at the Winter Queen's sight. Plenty of words coming to mind. Magnificent. Regal. Impressive. It takes a moment to form a coherent sentence with them, though "You look beautiful today, Sasha. Truth be told, you always do..." Okay, that's enough. Get a hold of yourself. And wipe that stupid grin from your face, someone might notice!

    It seems his inner voice is back.

    The hostess presented the greatest conundrum as far as the approach goes, even before he's set foot in the Autumn Hollow. Of course it was a given he had to come, it was the optimal amount of courteousness that was problematic. In the end, he'd decided to go with a mixed approach. The nod offered is deeper but brief - respectful and polite, but hardly subservient.

    "Mhairi"

    On such formal occasion, hand-kissing would probably be the way to go, but in the present circumstances any skin contact would be likely read as intrusion. So instead, the Summer Monarch extends his hand with a small. black box secured with a ribbon. Inside rests an amber brooch framed with silver - a very much conscious choice, with the gemstone representing the ability to store hidden things of past ages and the frame's material being a symbol of spirituality and focus. Meanings he has no doubt the Dread Queen will have no trouble discerning.

    "My first Autumn Coronation here. Figured it should be signified as the important event it is"

    Symbolism. This changeling has a big weak spot for it.

    Circe followed behind the Summer King quickly. Her similar attire and tailing behind made her almost look like a secretary or bodyguard. The sprites try to bother her but a hiss of annoyance sent those before her scattering. If these skittish things were Mhairi's idea of security, Circe was much less keen on the hob pub plan. She waves her hand away at the one fairy she noticed trying to dive bomb her head. The elf fails to notice the other Sprites that had placed twigs and a blue flower into her hair. She just dismissed the cackling little hobs, "Yesh, loud little fellas aren't they boss?" she questioned to Alex as she followed him in.


    Taking in the room she paused on Mhairi, realizing the the Autumn Queen is more elfen right now then the actual elf, making her chuckle in amusement. She kept pace behind Alex, "Good evening everyone. And regal Miss Mhairi? I must say I am feeling jealous of your attire," there she admitted it, "makes me feel less me," though oddly. She kept talking, "I mean I thought I was well dressed but that," she gestures with both hands at Mhairi, "straight up Tolkien elegance ya got going has my suit beat. I gotta ask: where'd ya get it?"


    Before she gets an answer the elf does a pair of double takes. The first is at the sight of several sprites making off with, for them, torso sized cuts of pizza which causes her to point in suprise, "Che? Che cosa? What? They supposed to do that?" A shrill "yes!" is the answer of one Sprite.


    Quick ellicited the second double take. Quick without his Mask no less. She knew it was him thanks to Ingrid's outburst. "Wow Jimmy, that is a waaaay better look for ya. Ha ha Ingrid certainly seems to approve," she laughed to try and cover up her surprise. She'd gotten used to Quick wearing his Mask constantly. "So is it a double celebration then? A coronation and a revelation?" She gave Quick a thumbs up, "Cause I fully approve of this revelation man. Ya lookin' good."


    And her "boss" was falling over himself at the sight of Sasha. She giggled at a thought she had to voice: "You're surprising me Sasha. Who'd have thought the Queen of Winter could be so hot," she smirked as her eyes darted to Alex to see how'd he react. She was tempted to elbow him in the side. She almost did before stopping herself with a shrug.


    At the gift giving she made a mental note on an important task. She had to ask Alex what gift he planned on giving Sasha for his first Winter Coronation with her.


    The elf then finally steps away from Alexander towards Thomas. Looking down at the moleman the elf grins widely as her words dripped with honey, "Oh Tommy? Nice to see another suit but if we have the chance I'd like to talk with ya about something. Please?"

    One by one the Freehold's scant numbers arrive.

    The Levinquick is stared at and before he speaks Mhairi assumes that he's a new Winter arrived in time for the Equinox, but no. He was Quick! "Ohmygods!" She squeaks like she hadn't in a year. "You look...." she smiles, then nods and points to the hard stuff. "Also...is that a Mantle? Since when?" Whatever unease she'd felt around the once Countless elemental leaves, now that time had proven he'd stay and his Mantle proved his Oath to one of the Seasons.

    Sera appears, vibrant and colorful as always, "Oh! Sera you look fabulous! You haven't over dressed at all!" then she smiles, and pats her shirt, "I had a dress in mind for tonight, but it wouldn't have showed off my boots as well!" And the Nix knew how important shoes were to the Wisp.

    "Queen Sasha," Mhairi ducks her head down, the leaves of her crown moving with her, tickling the back of her neck. "Thank you," she smiles, "But you? A vision, as always."

    When Mhairi's fell-flames catch sight of Thomas she beams. "Page Land," she nods, "Glad to see you, where did you find that suit?" it really wasn't the mole-man's norm.

    Ingrid's iterations and seeming tunnel vision has the wisp laughing, it was nice to see her Groundskeeper and Vernal Monarch in such a mood, "Queen Ingrid! hi!" A wave, if the darkling's attention could be pulled.

    Circe and Brown enter nearly at the same time, and it looks like Summer had a dress code. The elf she greets as the King extends his own greetings to the rest of the room.

    "Circe, hi. Thanks, the boots I found forever ago to wear for just the occasion, the leggings in a store -- I can't remember which, and the top and stole, I made myself." Mhairi admits proudly. Her tailoring skills we slowly, but surely increasing. "Why does it make you feel less you?" Mhairi asks, confused.

    Then to King Brown and his present. Absently Mhairi wondered if his words meant that since he'd already experienced a Spring Equinox that meant he'd leave Ingrid out of the present giving.

    As she eyes the amber and silver thing, she didn't know what to think. She'd check it out after the party, to see if it was just what it appeared to be, or if there was something hidden within, waiting for the Pledge to end so it could Do Something to her.

    "Thank you," she says picking it up. Certain that the Pledge wouldn't let him do anything now, she pulls the broach looks at it, and secures it to knot in her stole.

    "Alright, everyone, foods over here...obviously, and there's alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, here and here," Mhairi points showing the difference, wanting to make sure everyone would be fed and happy as the evening progresses.

    Overhearing her greeting to Mhairi, Quick smiles at Sera. "You could never be 'over-dressed'. And sure. Whenever you're ready for round two." He throws up his fists and gives a mock display of some footwork. "Doing well, otherwise. You?"

    "My Queen."
    he says, greeting Sasha in what he's sure is an unnecessary display of courtesy. "Dressed to the teeth, huh?"

    Quick's attention is drawn next to the mole-man. No, that's unfriendly: to 'Thomas'. "Autumn. Halloween. Whatever, right? Best time to wear something strange, right?" He blinks a few times. "Weren't we having a talk? Never got a chance to finish my story." Which, of course, wasn't the most comfortable thing to disclose. But Thomas had been so damned interested in hearing the rest of it.

    The next Sovereign to hit the stage - good ol' quirky Ingrid - elicits a smile from the Elemental. And a little bit of deepening on the color of his cheeks. "Alright, alright. Take it easy! Haven't gotten a drink in me yet." He rubs the back of his neck. "And yes. Guess you got to me. I'm a Winter now." If she had any idea how much she influenced his still rather impulsive decision, she'd probably be flush herself.

    And, of course, there's Alex. "Mr. Brown. Charmed, as always." His typical flair for dealing with the Summer King - that not-too-serious mockery of everything serious - is accompanied by a smile. Alex had seen this form before. Though he probably hadn't experienced the Mantle.

    Circe's proclamation catches him off-guard as well. Her acceptance isn't unwelcome, though. Just... hard to take seriously. 'Better look'? She's either being nice or this is more of that community vibe he's not quite had the chance to experience yet. ​"Thanks, Circe. What's with the bodyguard getup?" She's still the same good-looking elfy-girl, but the suit is a change of pace.

    Mhairi, noticing at last that the oddly tinted fellow before her is Quick, gets a bashful smile. "Recently. Had a talk with Sasha and, you know... joined the ranks." All the uncomfortable feelings he had at the last meeting float away. Even his reluctance at accepting the Autumn spirit for what it is... it's no mean task when surrounded by so many friends.

    Though, speaking of friends, he can't help but wonder where Donovan is.
