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.

[She plays with tiny toe beans and prays for strength.]
I'm fine.
[No, the heat is clearly starting to creep onto her cheeks.]
no subject
[Sorry, Hakuno. Hector's trying to be a good friend here. He comes back with a glass of cold water for the fae.]
I can bring the cat to your home later if you want to go home and rest.
no subject
[Aaand... there he goes.
Hakuno sighs and takes the water from him, looking at him even if her blush is even worse, now.]
I'm really fine. I'm just being a little... a little ridiculous, I guess. It's not an illness.
no subject
If you're sure. Have you, uh, thought of a name for your cat?
no subject
[That is not all.
But she blurts out the first thing to come to mind, instead.]
Well—Francis Xavier? Maybe? I'll, um... ask my roommates for suggestions, too.
no subject
[Yes, ask your roommates. Hector is sure they're reasonable people. Probably.]
So, what do they think about your getting a pet. I know you were concerned about them.
no subject
...I've never had to name anything before.
[She shrugs her shoulders, eyes skittering away from his.]
Well, Enkidu loves nature, and I know Gilgamesh likes lions. I think they'll both probably spoil him.
no subject
[Hmm. He knows one of the two roommates. Enkidu is strange but ultimately trustworthy with an animal's care. Hector nods.]
He'll be in good hands.
no subject
[Said cat is nibbling and licking at her hands now, but she just nods absentmindedly.]
Thank you, Hector.
no subject
[Hector hesitates. Hakuno still seems preoccupied, though she won't say why.]
Alright, I'll leave you two together. Let me know if you need anything.
[She would, wouldn't she? Let him know if there was something wrong?]
no subject
[Ugh...
She can't leave it like this.]
Um, Hector? There's... something I probably need to, uh, to say to you.
no subject
[Hector turns to look at her. The hesitation doesn't bode well. Is she...mad at him? Did she decide a former necromancer isn't worth her time?]
no subject
Hakuno cradles her kitten close, for emotional support, and just bites the bullet.]
I, um... a little while ago, I posted on the watches looking for advice. And... well, you sort of... provided some.
no subject
[Hector doesn't use his watch very often, so it's really only a handful of public messages that he's even bothered answering.]
I answered Tataru's post, and someone named anonymous, and someone who's name was just letters.
[He's confident he hasn't send anything of offense to Hakuno's username.]
no subject
[You told her to have spite sex, Hector.]
no subject
[UM.]
So...you're the one with the horny witch and suitors who tried to kill you?
[Focusing on the wrong part, but this is also important.]
no subject
[But you didn't have to say it!]
no subject
Are you alright? You're not in danger, are you?
[Hector's no longer a necromancer of great power, but he has a hammer and he knows how to dispose of a body.]
no subject
[No suitors were involved, that time.]
no subject
But if it's not that, then what is Hakuno acting so weird about...]
Are you...mad about what I said?
no subject
[She rubs the back of her neck, gaze dropping again.]
It, uh. It wasn't what I thought you'd say, given our usual conversations, but then again... you didn't know it was me you were saying it to, either.
no subject
Sorry. You're polite company, so nothing like that's come up before. And to be fair, I didn't know the person I was writing to was a virginal maiden with a slew of murderous suitors.
[He pauses.]
Did you ever get...all of that...worked out with your witch?
no subject
[She laughs a little, the noise stuttering and a bit bashful at the... unfortunate aptness of that discussion.]
We... talked, yes. I don't know if I'd call I settled, exactly, but we're working on it.
no subject
[And that is the extent to which Hector is willing to consider the sex life of Hakuno's witch, who is still a stranger to Hector.]
Shall we never speak of this again?
no subject
[She gusts out a sigh, laughing slightly.]
I just... needed to clear the air, so your words would stop echoing in my head every time I looked at you.
