The Seasons pass yet again, ever turning as the weeks and months turn to years, and for some of the Freeholds residents, it really has been that long. For others, it could be the first, second or even third event since arriving to the sanctuary a Freehold tries to hold dear.
Entering the Four Seasons, the guests are met by Mr. Bates, the Wizened manager of the hotel, who swiftly leads them through the maze of corridors to the Throne Room itself, the largest Hollow within the building, a place of magic and wonder, and on this day, it is decorated in the style of its current sovereign. In this case there is no throne or dais. The raised platform has been removed. Instead of the platform and throne, In the center of the room is a brazier with a fire burning. There are a few wind warn ruins that were once pillars. Around the outside of the throne room is what looks like piece of construction that either was never completed, or fell with the passage of time. Perhaps it was a small amphatheater or colosseum.
Around the brazier are blankets on the floor and a pile of bedrolls off to the side. The throne room has become a place for elders to tell stories of warriors of old. It is a place to honor our past warriors and those who gave their lives for what we have.
Off to the side is the normal buffet of food, but there is also things that look hunted, food that would be eaten by men and women who are preparing for battle. A hog on a spit, fresh pheasant and lamb. The tastes and textures of the world that Spartan should have come from are alive in his Throne Room.
Several changelings are already in attendance, those that work within the hotel itself. Mrs Rosemary, the Ogress chef, who currently presides over the cooking spit, as well as the Beast, Big Swilla and the snowskin, Duncan, both of whom watch the cooking meat with some relish. However, both know that trying to steal from Mrs. Rosemary is fraught with danger and so wait for the food to be served. Finally, the only mortal allowed within the Throne Room stands by the drinks, ready to serve thefreaksfae he works for and while he waits, ensorcelled Sam checks his watch yet again.
This Sticky takes place on the 22nd September and the doors will be closing to new arrivals on Wednesday. Jump in!
