    The guests for this Vernal Equinox are lead towards Spring's Wishing Well, the entrance to the Emerald's Tavern. This time dressed in full theme. An elegant luau. On tables there was tall clear vases with waterproof lights submerged in clear glass beads with palm leaves placed carefully inside. Around the vase were bright and colourful flowers, placed carefully to draw the eye. The bar had pineapples that had been hollowed out, the fruit places in dishes and flowers and leaves arranged inside.

    The bar held an arrangement of drinks, some pink, some purple even some blue ones. Some even had Spring flowers frozen into the ice, all would hold the taste and vibrancy of the full bloom of Spring.

    Outside the Tavern was a little more traditional luau. There were tiki style torches outlining the small clearing, which held food tables and seating. Which were dark wicker with very plush cushions. There was also a sign indicating to take a lei, and those were just as colourful as one would expect from Spring.

    When Seraphina , the Vernal Queen makes her appearance, all can see the Antler Crown upon her head. The Wyrd wasting no time in Crowning the Monarch, mending the Cycle after the notable, and poignant absence of the Silent Arrow.




    Just a reminder that the Broken Cycle Plots are both considered in Continuity for the Equinox
    And Orianna fee free to describe your crown!

    Sonnie Wu was present in the Tavern's main room, ready to welcome the freeholders to the coronation of Queen Seraphina!

    Smiling brightly, the Beast was dressed appropriately for the occasion in a Hedgespun hula girl outfit! Barefoot, she wore a skirt made of shiny blue goblin grass that seemed to shimmer and shake with a mind of it's own. Her top half was (barely) covered by an array of blue and purple flowers, strategically positioned and clinging to her form like ivy on a wall, covering all the right areas to keep the outfit from being indecent. Her hair hung loose and free, and her Hedgespun coin pendant hung about her neck.

    "Aloha! Welcome to the Spring Court Coronation and Luau! Please, take a lei and help yourselves!" she would greet new arrivals in this fashion.

    After a Season's absence, the wizened dwarf returns.

    Anatole's face is still lost in a fluffy pile of curls that pour down his chest. His suit is... the same; still over-sized, loose and stretched tight all at the same time.

    He had been slouching reluctantly into Funderland, grumbling quietly and generally looking on the childish rides and confected buildings with a certain distaste. The glare of casual disdain was only replaced with a certain wonder once he found himself in the Tavern.

    Then he sees the monkey Courtier of spring. He takes one look at Sonnie Wu and his eye bulge slightly. He coughed, hand curling into a fist, to cover himself.

    "Hey. Yeah. Show me to the bar. I'm here to drink."

    His other hand absently brushed at his suit.

    "Of course! Good to see you, Anatole!" The Beast proceeded to give the dwarf a lei, laying it over his head and around his neck. This lei appeared to be made of green and red Hedge flowers. Rather weird looking blooms, truth be told, but harmless ones.

    "Right this way, good sir!" Sonnie beamed and lead Anatole to the nearby bar, which was laid out with all variety of tropical fruity drinks. Coconut shell cups and little paper umbrellas abounded, as did the smell of rum and vodka. She leaned towards the Autumn and stage whispered, "If you want something a little stronger than margaritas, I can hook you up, bro!" The Spring nodded towards the bottles of booze behind the counter.

    Flash of confusion as the lei is deposited around his neck.

    Moments later, a flash of understanding backed up with a wicked grin.

    "Oh I'm in the market for something stronger, my Emerald friend."

    His head jerked to where the alcohol was hidden stored.

    "Excellent! Excellent!" the monkey Beast danced around the end of the bar and positioned herself to the far side of it, opposite the Wizened. Apparently she was now playing bartender. "So, what can I get you?"

    Some music was playing, some sort of Elvis in Hawaii tune. The sounds originated, as it turns out, from her phone, which lay on the bar. Sonnie took a second to fiddle with the volume.

    "Sorry about the music. We had a live hobgoblin band last year. We tried to get them back for this, but it seems the drummer discovered the lute player was banging his wife and things got... bloody.... and cannibalistic." She cleared her throat. "So they're not available for this gig. Or any gig for the foreseeable future... at least until they can find a new lute player. Shame, really, they were pretty good when they stayed on task."

    Skin pulled back tight against his frame and a ghostly white, eyes and mouth sucking and empty pits that appear to be without end. His shadow a deep black that seems to be driving the body instead of the other way around.

    John wasn't about to be rude and miss the coronation as Winter turned to Spring. This left him off the hook for taking up the crown himself, thank god for that, but he'd know Spring. It was likely to be a party and hopefully not a, what do they call it now, a rager?

    He could move and schmooze with the best of them, he was actually quite decent at it but he never really liked parties. Never kne what to wear or what to do so he just did the same thing he normally did, which was usually drink alone in the corner and watch the world go by.

    He'd dressed up for the occasion, wore a green button-up, sensible walking shoes replaced by more formal footwear that was highly uncomfortable, and a darker green tie, his clothes were ironed and pressed to at least make himself look presentable. Though seeing the lei's he'd give Sonnie and anyone else a wide berth.

    He gave Sonnie and Anatole a smile and a nod as he walked over to them, his hands patting his shirt until he fished out a box of cigarettes that appeared to be hand rolled pulling one out and putting it between his lips and then offered the open packto the other two.

    "John."

    He said to Anatole simply as the pack game to him.

    "You're definitely in your element Sonnie, hopefully it's a good time. Shit, did I need to bring a gift?"


    Goes by the name: John

    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.

    Mantle

    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.
    Sera's hands and lower legs are translucent while the rest of her has cracks

    Mask
    A fairly tall woman, roughly 5'11 with long, wavy dark brown hair. Her eyes are an intense, deep bright blue, reminding one of sapphires. Her lips are full and her skin is flawless. With that perfection comes a body that men fawn and drool over, and women envy.

    Treasured Nix

    The preparations had been time consuming, making sure everything was perfect, in the right place. But it had been worth it.

    Next was her outfit. While part of her wanted to wear an elegant dress, she kept with the theme instead. Sonnie had been too excited about it, and she didn’t want to disappoint the Beast. So she researched traditional luau outfits, and was able to find one that both fit the theme and would look amazing on her!

    The grass of the skirt was from the Hedge, and was long, hitting at just above her ankles, which had red flowers around them. And those matched the ones on her wrists. She had selected the flowers because not only were they beautiful, but the shade of red would match Rhodes own flowers. The top was leather and left enough skin exposed to show off a very toned upper body. Her long gold and silver mane cascaded down her back. Gilded skin sparkling as she moved.

    As she walked in, upon her head sat the crown. Golden Antlers reaching out while spring flowers, blush in color blossomed beneath them. Emerald colored jewels could be see twinkling in the lights here and there on the crown.

    Smiling when she saw Sonnie and the others, she walks over,

    “You look amazing Sonnie! Thank you for all the help!”
    gushed the Nix. Then looking to the others, the smile remaining, “Anatole, great to see you. And you as well John. I hope everyones been well.”

    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




    She's not particularly fond of Ethnic Events, and this festivity isn't evoking the feelings she knows it normally should. She blames - perhaps rightly so - it on the uncaring dismissal at the behest of her peers of every single one of her ideas. Alas, the ceremonial imposes her presence here, both out of respect for the Season and the prospective Queen.
    It doesn't mean she has to play along with their inane fashion idiosyncrasies. And so, here she is, impeccable as ever, not a single hair out of place, a light touch of elegant makeup and clad in a form-hugging dress that pays homage to the color of the Season, green chiefly among them. Delightful.
    As Springs, they never let sorrow get in their way, but even for a Spring Courtier this is a tad too much. One of them had passed away not even a Season ago, and here they were, dressed in Hawaian garbs.
    Even though it was a lot more humble than Ingrid's party... a lot more humble compared to what she had in mind; if only they had listened.
    One would recognize the notable absence of Hedge Garbs or her wisps, tonight her mask is up, she isn't here to let her hair down.
    "Pleasing eve", she says, coasting from one side of the floor to another until she has joined company with Anatole .
    The monkey is acknowledged with a tight lipped smile. The Queen is greeted with a small bow.

    "Johnny Boy!" She waved energetically to the Winter Darkling as he arrived, as she stood behind the bar awaiting Anatole's drink order. "Great of you to come! Aloha! Grab a lei!"

    "You too, Starlight. I'm sure there's one that matches your cute dress." she smirked at the Bright One who wasn't so bright at the moment. Titania's seeming unwillingness to get into the luau spirit was confusing, but the Beast had no time to question it. There was a million things to do! Such as... the arrival of Seraphina!

    "Oh! 'Scuse me a moment, Anatole" Seeing the Treasured make her official entrance as Monarch, Sonnie excused herself from the bar, ran over to Sera with a grin. "Me? You look a billion times awesomer! But thanks!" She cleared her throat, turned about and spoke loudly to those Changelings gathered in the Tavern so far. She was Claviger, greeter, bartender and herald for tonight, it seemed.

    "Attention everyone! Presenting the Ruler of the Spring Court, new Monarch of the Freehold of Sacramento... Queen Seraphina!"

    Pause for applause.

    She clapped her hands just to get everyone started.
