Beltane Celebration Open Event

[Mable Wood]

Crone Farm Description

At the entrance of the driveway is a sign which says: FARM CLOSED FOR PRIVATE EVENT

The driveway leading up to the farm is lined with blue twinkling solar powered lights. There is a paring area on the side near the forest.

The courtyard area is lit by many lights tonight giving it a festive backyard BBQ feel.

The area around the small farm house is well manicured.

Going around the stables, green houses and house are flower gardens and a winding path. Lit by solar lights. One more garden picture.

Benches and other small seating areas can be found through out the gardens.

Behind the house is an outside shower area and a large private patio with two large seating areas.

A flag pole type of thing is set-up in a clearing near the wheat field. It has colorful ribbons hanging down from it.

Mable is dress in a black dress seated on the front porch ready to great visitors.

note: This sticky event takes place on May 1, 2019

[Mable Wood]

"Oh Thomas, that silver tongue will get you in trouble one of these days." Mable teased. "But thank you. I also was surprised."

She moved forward to give him a hug. Just in time for Krieg to try and get through the door. The effect was rather amusing. Mable covered her mouth to stifle a laugh but failed. A belly laugh escaped.

"Oh dear. I should have made the doorway larger." She managed to squeak out as she laughed.

[Jacque]

After arriving, Jacque made his way up to the outside of the cottage with a smile, wearing something unusually casual for the event. He hadn't been back since his winter visit, so it was nice to see so much color in the gardens. The care and effort put into every detail of the landscape was quite clear to those who would appreciate such a thing.

His eyes gleamed at the sight of @Vivian briefly before being distracted by what Krieg was wearing. It made him comfortably reminiscent of something, though he couldn't quite place what. "Hierophant Krieg, color me curious," he smiled in earnest.

Gazing over to the congregation so far, "Good evening Keeper Mable, Mister Boyle. Thank you again for the invitation. The gardens look absolutely stunning. Are we permitted to meander about freely or are there any places to avoid?" He flashed a coy grin over to Vivian, "Seneschal York, lovely as always to see you."

[Ellis Meadows]

There certainly didn't seem to be anything resembling a bonfire as he approached the cluster of gathered Kindred. Ellis was relieved at that, because throwing 'Beltane' at the internet had given him the impression that fire was a central component to the celebration. That sort of thing concerned him, for obvious reasons. The motives behind the Circle and the Lance were closed to him, and people did all sorts of incredibly risky things for faith.

"Keeper Wood, Hierophant Krieg, Mr. Boyle." Ellis nods to each in turn. "My complements. Your Farm is irresistibly charming. I am Ellis Meadows, and you have my thanks for your gracious invitation." He is pleasant enough to easily be able to ignore the fact that he must feel the intimate and unspoken threat of all three Acolyte's more potent blood.

"Madame Seneschal, Herald Jacque." Vivian receives the courtly bow that is her due as a ranking member of the First Estate, and afterwards Ellis extends a gentlemanly hand in greetings to Jacque. "I hope your travel was not difficult?" Vivian's beast was not unrecognized, though he was far from comfortable with it. That Jacque and Krieg could hide theirs was cold consolation, Ellis' imagination had an ample supply of imagery to make up the difference in secondhand discomfort.

Ellis elected to dress in something casual for the evening. He wanted to project an impression of casual ease, and you couldn't do that in clubwear, while a suit would put up walls that he didn't need up tonight.

[Mable Wood]

A nod and smile for all who join them. Mable beams at the compliment from Vivian.

To Vivian, "You look wonderful as always and are not under dressed in any way. I hope everyone comes comfortably dressed."

"Please wander where ever you would like. The garden walk starts on the further side of the stables and goes around to the back patio where there will be cocktails and festivities shortly." Mable gave a welcoming smile.

"If you would like to see the inside of the house just let one of us know. We have cats and they are indoor cats. So I just want to make sure they stay safe."

After Ellis says Jack had a new title Mable looks to Jack, "Congrats on the new position."

[Dirt Nap]

Dirt Nap arrives, dressed casually, helmet hair from having rode his dirt bike to the ranch. "Ma'am, Keeper Wood." he says in greeting with a smile to Mable.

He waves to Thomas Boyle and nods with a smile to Hierophant Krieg. "Greetings in keeping with the occasion." he says amiably.
