    The Summer Court of Sacramento is small in number, often a single. But that didn't mean their Sacramento monarch couldn't be a bad host nor couldn't recruit. Thus this little open house at someone else's place. Even if she was being a copy cat.

    The Pagoda Events building on 429 J St was just a block down from the Golden 1 center, home of the cities own Sacramento Kings. The square white building was topped with the signature green flared roof from which it bore its name. The building hosted several floors that could accommodate many sorts of events, however three were all empty. Circe had taken the liberty of renting these floors, the gathering in the middle one, to ensure they had a measure of privacy. The staff had been notified that they will be contacted should anything be needed and were otherwise to remain outside the floors. A disclaimer, a little flirtation, and hefty tip ensured compliance.

    This wasn't a Summers only affair. For unlike the previous Generale, the Larcenist held no doubts that Summers would appear in bulk. This was for all new arrivals with offer of extra welcomes for Summers.

    There were signs to provide guidance, showing a angry cartoon bunny with a machine gun, pointing towards the meeting room. The round tables around the room were covered in red table clothes with golden napkins wrapping the silverware set beside the plates. Off to one side there was a full buffet table set up, burners going to keep the food warm. It was a respectable spread, nothing gourmet but more than enough to give at least a dozen people the option for seconds.

    Alcohol was sadly lacking due to the paperwork Circe hadn't wanted to muddle through.

    As for the host? She opted to try for something more regal then professional this afternoon. Her own Hedgespun backless dress constantly to shifted between the colors of a twilight sky, hem glowing yellow like the last vestitages of the setting sun. Stylish heels, some jewelery for her neck, and the Summer Brooch upon her shoulder completed the outward ensemble.

    Now it was just a matter of seeing whom arrived first to be greeted in an over the top manner by the Queen of Summer.

    Fairest


    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.
    Titania

    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 one to ignore the invite of a friend, especially when it came in the form of an Official Summon.
    She reaches the certain place at a certain time, clad in nothing more than a simple black but elegant dress and some jewels. Her handbag under her arm.
    Like always her makeup is tastefully done, her hair are coiffed. As she walks, she can't help but notice how they're stealing glances of her. She smiles.
    "Good evening, Circe", she says. This is a public venue, titles are better left home.
    Her wisps are noticeably suffused, perhaps they're hiding among the decorative balloons.

    Succubus / Incubus Romancer

    Hmm not really an event for her but she did like Circe and hoped that she could get to be of some sort of aid for her, wearing a little more modest and simple attire than she really liked to but this was an event for Circe after all and with a focus for the summers to come to fancy here did not seem like the right, hopefully peoples warped perception would not change that far to much.

    Gently curtsying as she sees Circe, not deeply just a quick one to show her respect.
    "Evening fair lady, I do hope you do not mind me joining in this night and if there is anything I can do to help do not hesitate to let me be of service and if you do not mind me saying this so do you look stunning tonight dear." Not wanting to take to much of her time, knowing full well how much she had probably put into this so making sure to stay out of the way until needed was probably the best idea for now.

    Walking her way over to Titania.
    "I hope all is well with you dear?" Giving her a warm soft smile. "Say do you like theater or the Opera?"

    Six foot, barrel chested, and didn't skip leg day. Ram is a muscle bound behemoth. His face and body are scarred from numerous injuries and his movements look stilted with pain occasionally. Still, his craggy face does soften occasionally.

    Mien
    Ram looks like he could knuckle walk if he wanted. His arms and chest are enormous. More akin to a gorilla than human. His skin is an amalgamation of stony hide with fire cracks running through it and pieces of Fey machinery grafted at the joints. Segmented pieces of metal are bolted to run down his spine legs. Wood covers his skull with willow leaves providing hair, while curved bone horns sprout from the foliage.

    PRE

    Arriving at Pagoda events Ram couldn’t help but feel a little intimidated. This felt like a lot. Like a lot a lot. It felt like he was attending a fancy business convention. Or maybe a giant party. All the floors and hallways were empty as he followed the signs to the Summer event, making the building feel bigger than it probably was. And all this for the Summer court which as far as he knew was undermanned to the point where it was mostly just him and Circe? It felt… weird.

    The Ogre arrived at the meeting room and the feeling intensified. While his job at Funderland meant he had money to spend now, he hadn’t exactly taken the opportunity to update his outfit. So he was wearing his standard rough and ready clothes that he normally did. Which apparently was not what this event called for, given what he saw the three Fairest were wearing when he entered.

    Ram rubbed the back of his neck. At least there was food, he thought. Even with the extra spending cash, eating free was still a big draw for him.

    A wave was given to everyone but he approached the blue skinned Larcenist first “Hey, Circe,” he greeted her “You set all this up?”

    And Titania was the first to arrive! Circe opens her arms wide in greetings, "Titania! Good dress fer ya, very posh!" The Summer Fairest struts over ot the newly arrived Spring. "Welcome ta the shindig."

    Oh another Spring? Circe's dress shifts in colors for a blue to deep purple, hem lights dimming further. "Yammy ya don't need ta worry. This is mostly self serve. And is black the new Spring dress code?" She looks between the two Springs. Both wearing black dresses. Circe's Hedgespun gown dims its purple as if trying to become a close match. But then brightens back to a lighter blue, the hem glow spreading across the gown to lighten a few ancient runes across the bodice of the gown, "Good thing I like ta be contrary, right?"

    The elfin Lost makes an exaggerated gasp upon Ram's arrival, "Oh yes and yer Mister...Ram right?" She gives him a salute, "Great! Glad ya could come, always happy ta know that Summers numbers are on the rise. And glad yer not in black, would seem like a conspiracy if I was the only exception."

    "How are ya settling in bro? Because I gotta tell ya with ya here my boyo I am happy ta say Summer's numbers have doubled, oh ho ho ho!"
    Then she gave Ram a serious look, "But if yer staying around there is a tradition that must be followed. Yer gonna need a nickname at some point."

    Anatole makes his first appearance since the Freehold slew Iron Meg.

    The battle has certainly had an effect on the burned dwarf: a terrible one. He seems thinner and much less robust than before: a mere shadow of himself. His suit appears larger and less strained across his chest. His gait has completely altered, and walking clearly pains him. Once, the burned dwarf simply muscled his way through the world - now he drags himself along, painfully, leaning on a walking stick for support.

    It is in his eyes that Anatole shows the most change: they are sunken under his heavy brows and the glitter like, hard, refined, diamonds.

    There is a permanent twist to his mouth, pulling his lip down on one side. His breath is laboured.

    Yet he has come, nonetheless.

    He mihgt have said something, if he had not been catching his breath.

    James actually showed up for the shindig, never being the Freehold's social of butterflys having more in common with Coco's sharp stinging barbs than the Fairest's smooth talking nature that dominated the freehold. But here he was, trying to do what he could to remind, himself mostly, that he had a place here.


    He'd dressed up for the event, nothing like what he imagined the other remaining Monarchs might show up in but he'd made an effort. Black slacks, nice leather loafers that were obviously second hand, a white button up, and a black tie is what he wore. He'd worn a nice cologne too but all it did was mix with the smell of a just smoked cigarette quickly dissipating from the air around him.


    He'd been smoking more and more lately, it was a comfort mechanism something to help him handle the stress. He knew that, he knew it wasn't healthy but being the lone Winter of the Freehold for so long just put more and more weight upon his shoulders. Weight he'd never had to bare before. He offered a small half smile to everyone present.


    "Fancy duds there your Majesty." A wink shot Circe's way as he tried to be playful with the elf, knowing her normal nature was anything but formal. "Looking as elegant as ever Titania, setting the bar all the way at the top as usual." A smile. "Yamiyo." A nod given before turning to Ram with a smile, he didn't know him well but dressing up didn't seem like his style from one meeting alone. "Ram, good to see you still around."


    Then finally he walked up next to Anatole and set a hand on the dwarf's shoulder. "Thank you. Don't know if anyone's thanked you yet, but thank you. Glad you're still here and recovering." A small squeeze of the shoulder, trying to be a comforting thing as he looked down at the dwarf and then removed his hand really hoping that he hadn't accidentally hurt the man.


    Goes by the name: John

    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.
    Mien:

    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.

    "Helloooooooooooooooo! I'm here for the Gunbunny Soiree! Do I have the right address, madam?" She grinned at Circe, then curtsied. "Thanks ever so much for this lovely event, your Flaming Hot Majesty!"

    Looking around, she waved to those she knew, "Hey Ellie! Lookin' fab as always! Yami, awesome dress! John, you been smoking? Hey there... uh, Ram, right?" She nodded to the Ogre.

    The sight of Anatole being ambulatory was a pleasant surprise, "HE LIVES!" she shouted with glee!

    Telluric Bright One

    She doesn't mind the small talk, after all she mingles effortlessly in every crowd. However there's something else that catches her attention.
    The sight of a bloodied and battered grandpa. As if Saint Nicholaus had a horrible, horrible day at work.
    She reaches for him immediately, with such grace that you'd think she was being carried by the wind and fueled by passion alone.
    "Mr. Anatole. How are you feeling tonight?", it's rhetorical question, "Do you seek medical assistance?"
