    "Good habit, always be prepared," Circe cheered Simone's explanation giving the muddy haired Summer a thumbs up. She grumbled as Simone went for the booze. No alcohol with firearms instructor, even if it was a fucking pellet gun.

    And then the sweetest couple in the Freehold, within Circe's mind, entered the establishment. How did they get their Mantles to coordinate so well? The Larcenist could easily grow a inappropriate story in her mind quite quickly. But chided herself with a order of later, instead grinning ear to pointy ear at the couple. And her verbal filter got toggled off, "Sono così felice di averti spedito due."

    "Thanks Rhodes. A sharp dressed man drives ladies crazy, how much mayhem can a sharp dressed woman do? But,"
    she rolls her shoulders in a shrug as she gives a defeated shake of her head, "I think the stunning Seraphina," she waves with her hand, "Will argue that no matter what accessory I might wear tonight, she happened ta enter with a better one on her arm," she winks at Rhodes. "Welcome Sera, I'd be happy ta give ya my tailor's numba. Always glad ta help someone I like ta get more business."

    Circe seemed to quiver as she looked at the pair. She was still smiling a lot as she let out a giggle as she looks at Abraham, "Right Abe! I mean these two," she giggles, "have enough thunder enough ta knock ya on yer ass." And now she was talking with her hands as the Italian traits came up.

    "So coordinated, in attire and Mantle. If we had a contest fer couples I'm sure the two of ya would win the cup,"
    she popped the final p. Circe was very tempted to ask a certain question to Rhodes and Seraphina. Regarding a future wedding.

    She shipped them very hard. That it was easy to ship them didn't hurt the elfin Lost's romance goggles.

    Oh, Fawkes was here! "Hiya Fawkes!" She cheerfully greets him. She'd not be the one to blow up at him. Were they outside the Freehold? Had Richard invited him? She didn't know the details but she was the, sort of, diplomat of Summer. "How are ya doin' tonight?"

    An alluring young beauty, Sonnie Wu is 5'2" and lean-bodied, with a light, nimble step and eyes that seem to say "Hey, you know what would be fun?" Her reddish-brown hair often seems slightly unkempt, and an amused smile regularly plays on her lips. Sonnie is usually dressed casually or for outdoor activity. She almost always wears a pair of red leather tabi boots.

    To the eyes of Fae, Sonnie's feet are like those of a monkey: Toes as long as fingers, with one on each foot being opposable like a thumb. A long monkey tail protrudes from the base of Sonnie's spine, covered in hair the same shade as her head. It appears to be prehensile, and often moves to react to her mood and dances about when she speaks, like people who "talk with their hands." Finally, her brown eyes turn golden.

    Sonnie winked at Circe, "Why thank you! And a happy Summer Solstice to you!" She smiled back at Simone and waved at the Darkling. "Helloooo!"

    The arrival of the Fairest couple left the Beast slack jawed. Not their outfits, though those were impressive. No, it was the change to Seraphina's Mien that instantly caught her attention.

    Gold into diamonds? When did that happen?

    Sooooooooooooooooo, shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny!

    After a few beats of staring, Sonnie blinked her eyes and shook her head, then put on a big grin. "Wow! You guys look amazeballs! Like, holy crapola!" At the compliments, she brushed her hands over the hem of her dress, "Oh, this old thing? I just threw it on!"

    Happy waves were given to Abraham and Fawkes, but her attention was still rather raptly focused on the glittery Nix.

    Mask

    A striking brunette in her 20s with deep blue eyes, shoulder length hair and a 1000-watt smile. Her features have a radiant beauty to them. She styles herself after the latest fashions, never forgetting to add a touch of tradition to her mises.

    Mien

    The elegant and armonious movement of the celestial spheres is reflected upon her hair, galaxies dance across the pitch black background in clockwork-like precision, delicate specks of moondust blaze down in her wake, disappearing just as they touch the floor. Her eyes, like star sapphires, shine in tandem with the globes of light that dance around her, floating like planets swept around a Sun.
    Titania

    Mantle

    A field of roses under the glistening pale moon of a star sprangled spring night. Occasionally, midnight blue roses emerge from her hair, their petals swept by a gentle breeze, just to fade into the bed of sparkling diamond moondust left in her trail by her mien, vanishing without trace soon thereafter.

    Telluric Bright One

    The Bright One arrives at the venue just at the right time. She'd be hard pressed to admit - for the polite enmity she had elected to feel toward the current iteration of the Summer Court wouldn't allow her to do otherwise - that the location is certainly fitting of the Court's station. Obviously, as it was implied by the outside of the building - and she's rather amused by it - the Fiery court wasn't be able to replicate the ostentatious display that had been the Spring Coronation. It was, after all, a mundane location.
    She hazily moves toward the reception surrounded by a court of rambunctious wisps, leaving a trail of stardust in her wake. The ceremonial dictated that she wear red for the occasion, and so she did. And there she is, clad in a red and black silk and leather dress, the only amenities she's allowed herself for the night are the bracelet prominently dangling from her wrist and the cute sunflower pin attached to the midnight rose perched a top her head. She's even had her hair straightened and her light smokey eyes make up done by a professional artist, a luxury given her current financial dire straits. Still, it wouldn't be elegant to even think about that.
    The only exception to the rules of style she elected to make tonight is the green jacket currently covering her shoulders. A statement of Courtly affiliation or a provocation levied at one specific Elemental?

    Sasha

    She arrived a little later than she'd wanted to and Sasha was a little timid wearing a dress that was more of another Court than her own. She had a reason for doing so, and if asked she would probably relay it. For now, she slowly stepped inside, and smiled at how wonderful the mansion was set up. Would this be Summer's new place? That was a question for Summer's King at some point.

    At least now she was less nervous about the gown, it felt like she was wearing molten gold that was diving into fiery roses. It felt a little over the top, but for as shy as the Fairest was, this dress was her more than most realized. It made her feel hot, just like summer.

    When seeing Richard Price , she gave him a respectable bow, as he was the next reigning Sovereign, and hopefully people would follow the same accord.

    Nodding to a new person she's only seen in passing Simone Sangoma had a really nice skirt. Sonnie Wu 's dress was quite fitting for her, she looked so sweet. Waving at Circe as she slowly walked into the main part of the gala, she liked how her outfit looked.

    Rhodes looked absolutely amazing in his suit, it was most fitting for him and it seemed to compliment Seraphina 's dress. Abraham Norton 's suit was also most exquisite, something fitting for who he was. Fawkes too, was dressed in an amazing threads. Everyone was wearing some sort of red as a way of paying homage to Summer. It was wonderful.

    Fawkes gave Circe a two-fingered salute at her greeting. "What's up? Changed over your suit," he noted, cocking her head at her as she engaged him. "Good. Wasn't sure if the natural armour would be too spooky," he said, chuckling quietly. A razored carapace was striking, but he wasn't sure if it was appropriate. He wasn't in the business of drawing attention to himself.

    He gave a bow to the two monarchs, blinking at Sasha 's striking number but too shy to comment. He left Richard to Do the Social, bee-lining to the chillest spot available once Circe was done with him. Why was the Bright One wearing his jacket?

    Mantle: A breath of icy wind, the kind that penetrates and sends a chill down the spine. Ash leaves in red, yellow and gold spin into existance around him, caught on the breeze.

    Flowering

    Rhodes gives Fawkes a nod. He still wasn't sure what to make of the elemental. What he knew for sure is Fawkes wasn't quite as socially astute as he came off. Yet more observation was needed.

    It is Circe, however, who easily snags his attention. "Any woman can cause mayhem, no matter how smartly dressed. When it's you Circe? I always count that double," Rhodes bats back cheerily. "Though I can't help it if Seraphina has such refined tastes." He winks back to the Azure elf.

    The Autumn King spreads an arm wide (the other still has a Treasured on it) and grins widely at Circe's enthusiasm.... up to a point. "Alright, alright. Simmer down Blueberry," he says, eyebrow arching with an amused smile, and leans in towards Sera. "Looks like we have a fan," he whispers to the Nix, grinning. "And someone else can't stop staring..."

    "Why thank you Sonnie....Sonnie?"
    Rhodes watches, then snaps his fingers a few times towards the staring beast. "Earth to Sonja, are you there? Come on back, capuchin."

    Titania is greeted with a wave and a broad smile. And Sasha, looking.... fantastic. The Leaden King inclines his head to her as she approaches - it was always good to see the Winter Queen, and Sera was bound to be glad to see her friend. "Lady Sasha! What a sensational dress. I love it. You look like living magma. Which with the frost forming, looks quite exquisite." Her Mantle left frost everywhere. Rhodes was always a little jealous of her connection.

    Still. One day.

    The Flowering leans over and gives Seraphina a kiss on the cheek. "I'm going to grab a drink before the festivities begin. Can I get you something darling?"

    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

    Smirking to Circe, “There is something about a man in a well-tailored suit isn’t there?” Rhodes always looked good in his suits. Laughing, light and musical at what was said, “I have to agree with you on that one.” A wink offered to Rhodes. “Great! I’ve been meaning to try a nicely tailored suit.” She was pretty sure she could make it look good.

    A smile and wave were offered to Fawkes.

    Was it the dress? The Nix wonders at Sonnie’s staring. “Well, it looks great on you.” When the staring continues, she glances at her dress, then back to the Beast. “You ok?” a hint of concern in her voice.

    It was hard to miss Titania enter. Between her lovely presence and the wisps, she stood out. The Treasured offers a smile and wave.

    And wow, Sasha’s entrance! Between that dress and her Mantle, there was no questioning she was the queen of Winter.

    “Sasha! That dress is amazing!”
    gushed the Nix with wide eyes. “You’re simply beautiful in it!” and she meant it, her friend was stunning!

    Blueberry? Did Rhodes just call Circe blueberry?! And she had to laugh. And hoped the Elf would laugh as well. “I’ll gladly take fans! I’m a fan too.” She whispers back.

    Shrugging, “That’s ok.” It was obvious it didn’t really bother the Treasured. She was just concerned something was wrong.

    Smiling at the kiss, “I’ll take a water or lemonade. Thank you.” The kiss returned.

    Circe is a little worried about Sonnie. But she lacks the etiquette to not be rude about it as she waves her hand up and down in front of Sonnie's face. "Sonny? Ciao? Sei lì dentro?" She waves her hand again, "Ain't got smellin' salts so it'll be a Margaritta if ya stay in a fugue. Or a Austrian goodbye. And then a German one, ya know, continuity."

    And then got distracted by the other Fairests arriving, with more elegant dresses then she'd ever find. Really, where the Hell did they find these things? Circe would have waved a white flag as this point if she wasn't certain she looked good in suits. "Yeah Fawkes. That and," she leans in with one hand up for an exaggerated conspiratorial whisper, "All the gold ties looked shit on me."

    She grinned as Fawkes left and she turned upon Rhodes, "Well gunpowder helps and is cheaper then dynamite," a cheerful smile accompanied this dangerous statement. "Oh Rhodes if I was boilin' over I'd be waving a poster in the air with a picture of the two of ya makin' out on it," Circe laughs at the idea. Then looks to Seraphina, "And the two of ya are such a lovely couple its hard NOT ta cheer fer ya."

    Then sighs as she looks at Sasha, "Stunning style as ever Sasha. Throw in Titania, Sera, and Sonny ya find it obvious why I never bother ta go with dresses. Never gonna be the prettiest bell o' the ball. Ha ha, some of the boys could probably rock dresses better 'n me. So I'll settle fer bein' the sharpest," she winks at Seraphina, "Don't worry I'm sure my tailor will help get ya a great suit but fer a lady ta look sharp takes experience. So I'll stay way ahead of ya in that, oh ho ho ho ho."

    Finally she has to ask Titania a question, "Sup T? Yer still wearing Fawkes' coat? Is there a reeeeeeeeason fer that?" Her tone had some definite insinuations. Rhodes and Seraphina were overloading her shipping goggles and she was seeing flotillas everywhere.


    ooc: I made a mistake in last post, didn't copy it right. Circe is supposed to be concerned about Cole's non-arrival not Fawkes. Sorry for the confusion as I missed copying a couple of sentences.

    All of the sudden concern for her from Rhodes, Sera and Circe snapped Sonnie out of her distraction. She blinked her eyes and looked around. "Uh, yeah, I'm fine. Hey, wow! Look at Sasha! Girl is on fire! Where do you get a dress like that? Oh, and hi Starlight!" She energetically waved at Titania.

    Touch the shiny.

    No.

    Sasha

    If there was someone who was modest about her looks and her presence, it was perhaps the one in the poofy dress right now. Sasha was wondering if the dress was the right thing to do. Yet, of all the dresses she looked over, this was the one that called to her. She didn't like to upstage anyone, and truly hoped she wasn't. Richard looked beyond dashing in his suit, and hopefully he got the remarks for that he deserved.

    "Thank you, all of you. I sometimes have doubts in the attire I wear. Yet when, when it was requested to wear red, I saw how this spoke of Fire and needed to make it happen." She smiled, even a bit bashfully. "Not to mention, when I found out it was going to be at the Julia Morgan House, I thought the night called for a larger ball gown to fit the beautiful ambiance of this place."

    There seemed to be many missing from the Coronation tonight. A few she was glad weren't there yet, but, others she hoped would arrive sooner than later.

    Her Violet eyes swept the room, their contrast with her dress perhaps made them more prominent than other days when she wore shades of blues, blacks, purples and whatnot. "Has anyone been back to the courtyard yet? The pictures are marvelous, and I hope they did it justice. The lion fountain looked wonderful and I want to see it in person."
