(1712) Winter Coronation

[Ingrid]

Ingrid was still holding her glass. Over it, she watched with wide eyes as Quick and Mhairi broke off into their own group. Open curiosity bloomed on her face. She was so engrossed in the pair that she completely missed Circe's pun.

"Oh? Oh! Excellent. Brilliant work."

She turned back to the group, gobbling her drink.

"What? Another formal do? When? So soon?" Surprise was in her voice. Ingrid laid down her glass and blinked.

[Circe]

Circe gave a small bow with her head and had a hand on her breast, "Thank you, thank you. I try my best, for pun rhymes with fun," Circe was grinning quite widely at having gotten so many reactions from the horrid puns. Bad jokes that make people laugh aren't bad. "Sadly Sasha my musical jokes are a little limited. I won't string ya along while I jam things up tryin' ta make song jokes," there was no stopping her now!

But then there was the other matter. She pointed at Ingrid, "What Ingrid said. Do I need to buy another dress now? Hmm," she scrunched up her face in though, right ear rising in the process, "I could try adding more accessories. I gotta crown and a amulet. Wonder what else I could add?"

[Seraphina]

Sapphires widen with excitement, “Another formal event? Oh this is too perfect!” gushed the Nix, “This means purchasing the other dress will not go to waste! But it sounds like you’re not sharing much information,” she says with a sly smile to Sasha, “which sucks, cause it means I’ll be eagerly awaiting an announcement.” But it was clear she was excited about it.

She takes a sip of her warm drink.

A grin offered to Ingrid, seemed she was eager as well.

But if it was anything like this formal, Spring was going to have one hell of a party to live up to. Not that she was worried, she was a Spring, parties were their thing. But she was going to go all out, ideas already brewing in her head.

Looking to Circe, “Different accessories can completely change the look for a dress. Perhaps a different belt or maybe even a circlet. Maybe one with multiple jewels imbedded in it, colors that enhance the dress and your face. Even a different hair style can change how a dress looks. So you have many options if you don’t want to buy another dress.” She nods.

[Circe]

Circe was glad to hear that Sera hadn't wasted money. Terrible thing when you did that. She couldn't help a giggle as Sera complained about Sasha hiding details. It was just funny.


"Hmm? Good point Sera, I ain't got a belt. Well, not a belt that'd be fancy enough to wear with this," she waves her hand down towards herself to emphasize the dress, "So I could just go look for somethin'. Though I don't know if this," she taps the wire crown around her forehead, "would count as a circlet already. Wait, no reason I can't just swap instead of adding new bling. Just gotta find some now," the elf smiles proudly at her conclusion. It wasn't much of a conclusion but it was one. "Buuuut, knowin' what ya got planned for a theme Sasha would help me figure out what to buy," she leaned forward a little as she smiled at Sasha, prodding for information.

[Mhairi Ankaa]

Moving away from Quick, first to refresh her drink then to move on to join the others.

"Are we still on fashion or have we moves on." asked with a light smile.

[Ingrid]

"You cunning fox," Ingrid snickered. "Very well. I won't ask any further."

Ingrid raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah. I thought the Word took care of that sort of thing." Then she made a face. No Crown could mean many things: no legitimacy, perhaps, from the Wyrd. Assuming Sasha didn't already have a subtle crown suited for the Onyx somewhere on her person.

"Oh so much better!" Situation soon resolved itself. Perhaps it had been there all along, hidden from sight. Ingrid broke into a grin and quickly buried herself in her drink lest she make any other faux pas.

[Seraphina]

A nod, “You would be amazed at the things you can find at a second hand store!” yes, the Fairest still shopped at second hand stores. “Sometimes you can find many different pieces that when worn together can completely transform a dress you’ve already worn!” she had done it herself, so she knew it was possible. When she motioned to the crown, “Exactly! You could add personal touches to it, add hints of Summer even. If you’d ever like to go shopping, I’m always more than willing to tag along.” Not that she doubted the Elfs shopping abilities, but it would give her an excuse to get to know the Summer better.

Smiling to Mhairi, “Kind of still on fashion, though there has been talk of another gathering where we get to dress up again.” A nod. She didn’t care what the theme was, she had a dress all picked out.

Looking to Sasha with a small pout, “So no hints?” she then grins, “That’s ok, it will give us all something to look forward to.” She knew she would.

More formal? She looks to Circe, wondering if the Winter didn’t think her dress was formal enough or something? Or was it a hint that the next gathering would be full on black tie?

The Treasured shrugged, not knowing if she should have a crown or not. Though it seemed to be the theme for the Queens to have one. She liked crowns, but they had a place.

“That works.” She agreed. And then began thinking of what Ingrids crown would look like. She had ideas, but was curious.

[Circe]

"Yup," Circe thumbed up at the crown Sasha had created, "Good accessory Sasha. And I just gotta say it," Circe's grin went from ear to ear, "Well say two things. Cool." The elf giggled before calming down, "And that's better then lettin' the Wyrd pick somethin' for ya to wear. Make yer own way." That last part certainly sounding like a compliment in tone.


"If'n ya want a replica that won't melt, well I could try to scratch somethin' together," she then points at Mhairi, "not fae spun. That's her shtick."


Circe smiled at Sera's over, "Clothes shopping for fun? I'm down for a little retail adventure Sera, sure." As for the formal events part, "Still a little sad ya ain't given any hints Sasha. Not even the kinda formal it is? Well I suppose I can just pack an extra suit in the Rogue Mobile," The mention of that car brought a smile to her lips, "Black tie works for every occasion."

[Quick]

Moving away from Mhairi, Quick's eyes seek out Sasha - and catch on the little frozen wreath. A crown, huh? Good. She deserves a little marker of her position. It has to have been so hard for her to stick around after so many friends had vanished.

Quick doesn't miss Circe's or Sera's questions on what lies in store. A coy grin grows on his face. "Oh, that?" he asks, grabbing another flute of champagne. As if it isn't a big deal, he shrugs. "Another Winter party. No big deal... Attendance is optional." A sip. He gives Sasha a wink. "Only thing special about it is the dress code. A... masquerade. Everyone who shows up has to wear a mask." He points at his face. "And I don't just mean like this." Although they all probably expect him to be wearing that Mask everywhere by now.
