🌸Little Ladies' Day🌸





🌸Tea Time🌸



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 and the pup are already starting to go.]

We can speak more of it when you return.

[Deals with fae aren't something to decide upon hastily, after all. Even if it is a pretty straightforward arrangement.]

[It's not the end of the festival when she gets back. But quite a bit before that. Cradling a very warn out puppy in her arms. He'd had his fill of exploring and being spoiled, and had just kinda flopped over and gone to sleep.

Poke him did wake him, but then he'd just move a little and nod back off.

And Mikasa? She was almost smiling. Happy to have something to dote on that didn't complain and shove her. But she is here, to keep her side of the deal.]

[It's obvious, looking at the sleeping pup, that he's had a good time in the fae's care. Some of the other young pups are similarly warn out and napping in a corner of the pen. Hector will wake them up for dinner once he gets them home.]

So, is that about the amount of time you want a dog, or would you be interested in a longer stretch of time?

[Hector does have a couple of Mirrorbound who act as dogwalkers from time to time, taking out a pup or two for a couple of hours when they want company for a walk around time.]

[She hesitates, thinking of how to respond.]

I'd be okay with longer. But I have a housemate...and we're still not sure what monster she is.

[Unlike Mikasa, Trucy wasn't showing any signs. Not physical ones. If something had changed it wasn't visible to Mikasa at least.]

[Hector nods.]

It's not a decision you have to make today. You can wait to give your roommate a say.

[Hector lives alone so that he doesn't have to vet his pet decisions against other people, but he can imagine that for those living in close quarters, it would be important to consider their opinions.]
stopfen: (that won't come back)

[The nod is returned. Then Mikasa huffs slightly, shuffling the dozing pup in her arms. Letting him snuggle a bit then. Then slowly she gets closer.

And reluctantly passes him over to Hector. Carefully. Don't wake him up. Not saying anything, like them talking combined with the movement would disturb him.]

[Hector holds out his arms for the puppy hand-off. He'll keep quiet as well. So many people feel the need to talk incessantly. It's one reason to prefer pets.

When he gets the dog in hand, he gives him a reassuring belly scratch to keep him from stirring and sets him down with his sleeping siblings. He'll...have to see if Sylvain has a wagon or something he can borrow to wheel them all home.

Once the pup is safely snuggling with the others, Hector steps away and turns back to Mikasa.]


Message me with your Watch if you decide you want a pet. I can...leave him out for you to take, if that's...part of the appeal for you.

[He doesn't know much about fae, but that does seem to be one true fact about them.]

[Mikasa was watching the animals more than him. They were cute, they didn't make things awkward. Or point out when she was being rude.

But she sighs.]


Thank y-? [Splutters. Realising what he said.

...She couldn't really deny it though, not with how they'd met. So she ducks her rapidly reddening face, and quickly starts walking off. Bye. ]
