Little Ladies' Day! [OPEN]
Who: Tataru & EVERYONE
When: March 22nd, from 10:00AM to 2:00PM.
Where: Sylvain's Manor
What: It's Little Ladies' Day! Come celebrate!
Warnings: N/A
After all the fussing and effort put into decorating Sylvain's ballroom, Tataru and her "assistants" have transformed the area into one worthy of inviting princesses to high tea. Tables have been set up throughout the ballroom, flowers and other decorations adorning the tables and walls. Little Ladies are invited to sit where they please to be served while live music plays. When it comes to tasty treats and drinks (both alcoholic and not), there's a special menu to choose from, along with your standard high tea fair of scones, tea sandwiches, petit fours and of course, tea. Loyal Seneschals are at the beck and call of their Ladies, whether they're focused on one particular individual or a group.
Socializing is encouraged and if Ladies tire of sitting at the tables to snack and sip away at their tea, they're encouraged to relax and recline in the Tête-à-Tête sofas set up in another area of the room, either with another fellow Lady or a Seneschal who's willing to charm them or show off their listening skills. There is, of course, space free for those who wish to use the ballroom as it was intended to be - for dancing - and with the lively music filling the room why not take the opportunity to? It's all in good fun, after all.
🌸Lights! Camera! Action!🌸
Prompto finally has his camera working again and Tataru's decided it would be a great idea for him to participate as a photographer and get new clients for his photography business! One of the activities of Little Ladies' Day back in Eorzea is Ladies posing in front of backdrops that are set up around the city-states. To emulate this exciting experience, various backdrops have been set up outside in the yard for Little Ladies to have their photographs taken. The main attraction? A chocobo drawn carriage for that special princess aesthetic. Yeah...
There is also a dressing room area for Ladies to get dressed up or borrow a few donated outfits for the event (from local shops), if they were unable to get their own gear to wear, if they so wish to do so. The room itself that contains said outfits has been turned into a makeshift powder room with a mirror and vanity space for touch ups. Every Little Lady ought to look their best, after all.
🌸Adorable Adoption🌸
Hector has volunteered to bring a few well-behaved fuzzy friends along (cats and dogs) for Little Ladies to play with and pet. All the animals will be up for adoption, and would make good Familiars for Witches who might need one in their lives. His makeshift petting zoo is set up in a segregated area of the yard, to make sure no animals go missing. Everyone who is an animal lover is encouraged to play, pet and love on the animals that have been brought along. If you do wish to adopt one, you'll have to be up to Hector's standards however. They deserve to go to good homes, after all!
🌸Notes🌸
What does it mean to be a Loyal Seneschal or Little Lady?: The role of Seneschal is quite fluid; ultimately it hinges on making sure no Lady goes without a smile on their face during their special day. Whether that's through serving them, entertaining them, being a companion or maybe going home with them to help them do a few chores around their house...it's seriously up to you! Get creative! If you're a Little Lady all that means is that you're a woman and it's Your Day to be Appreciated. Own it. (And no, don't even think about trying to be a Seneschal if you're a Lady - Tataru will hunt you down.)
How will my character find out about the event?: If your character didn't see Tataru's post about it on the network for whatever reason, she's also been sticking flyers up around the city for it. Tataru's quite the busybody so if you need to come up with an excuse for your character/their business to get involved feel free to have them either have heard of it from local businesses that are participating in the festivities, the flyers or even Tataru herself if they have CR of some kind.
Plotting Post: If you wish to see what people have plotted thus far or reach out to others for CR the plotting post is here!
I want to play around with Little Ladies' Day after the tea event!: Go for it! Tataru's been working hard hustling local businesses and Mirrorbound alike to participate in the Eorzean tradition. Making a compelling case to incorporate it into Eostre's festivities, she's managed to arrange a few collaborations for the Ladies of Aefenglom to enjoy. Feel free to play around with local cafes or shops that may have special menus or deals on made in the spirit of the holiday. Also go wild when it comes to playing up your Little Lady and Loyal Seneschal roles. It's All Women Are Queens Day, after all.

C.
He holds up a hand.]
You can keep holding him. Just make sure to support him properly. Are you thinking of adopting?
no subject
BOY, IS HE. lance holds the puppy against his chest, gently petting him as he looks at hector with surprise. ]
Wait -- seriously? I-I thought these were just for the ladies! But I mean, if you're offering...
[ sweats... ]
no subject
They're here for exercise and socialization. The Ladies Day is creating an opportunity for that.
[He's going to have to sweat a little longer, because Hector is looking him over, assessing.]
They are open for adoption to someone who can provide them a good home. It's a big responsibility, caring for a pet. Not something to do on a whim.
no subject
...Yeah, you're right. I mean, it's easy to wanna adopt the little guy, but... [ lance doesn't have much experience with handling pets. he doesn't want to do anything wrong or harmful to the dog, so he nods in agreement. ]
I get it. He should go to a good home.
[ he pets the puppy a few more times. the puppy gives lance tons of licks..it's adorable. ]
Buuut if he's still available in the future, after I do some research, let me know? I'm Lance, by the way.
no subject
Hector. If you need help with your research, I can assist.
[He watches the dog cuddle further into Lance's chest, obviously giving this person its complete trust.]
It can be difficult for me to find time to exercise all of the animals in my care every day. A few Mirrorbound I know come by sometimes, to take one or two out to run or play.
[He's just...mentioning for no reason at all.]
crawls out of my cave...sorry for the late tag!
[ he appreciates it. he wouldn't want to be a bad dog dad, after all. this puppy is really affectionate, and it turns towards hector -- still in lance's care -- and gives hector a little bark in greeting. ]
So what I'm hearing is that I should totally stop by and spend some time with this little guy. Is that right?
[ because that's really no problem for him at all. ]
No worries!
Yes, you heard it right. The best way to learn is through exposure.
[You've got yourself a puppy internship, Lance.]
no subject
[ listen...it's the best kind of internship. ]
Oh man, so you're the one who takes care of all these animals, huh? You must have your hands pretty full.
no subject
[Right now, it's all out of his apartment, which is apparently not good?]
no subject
[ lance doesn't know this means he's literally keeping them all in his apartment. godspeed, hector. ]
So this is all unofficial? Or do you have some kind of shelter set up?
no subject
...for now, at least. I don't know what it would entail to legitimize it. I started out with just one stray, but I kept finding more, and a few animals had litters, and this is where we are now.
no subject
[ he makes a thoughtful noise. ]
So...are you just keeping them at home? That's a lot to take on by yourself.
no subject
[But yes, there's a reason he's at this party looking for Mirrorbound to adopt or foster pets. It's reached the boarder of what Hector can keep on his own.]
no subject
[ is he making a good impression yet -- no, lance's intentions are very honest here. he wants to help! the guy's doing a good thing and deserves to have all these people assisting him. ]
I'll come over sometime within the next few days if that's cool?
no subject
That's fine. I can give you directions on your Mirror when you need them.
[And yes, if Lance comes to help, he'll be in fine standing to be allowed to adopt the pup of his choice.]
