🌸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.

[Hmph- She doesn't grab their container right away though. Tendou is the one paying his must give the money first. Because this is an exchange. There are rules, yes. But once the money is given she's holding it close, like the server might take it back.]

But it's nice...and sweet? What's wrong with basic?

[She likes simple]

Ehhh— Nothing, really! My best friend loves vanilla.

[ all paid and in their hands, tendou makes a square with his fingers while . . . holding his ice cream. ]

It's like this: basic reminds me of average. In the lines. Right? [ letting the "box" go free, his fingers flutter and he dives for his cone. ] I've always been out of the box. I like to keep it that way.

[Mikasa just watches for a moment, giving the a small nibble at the...stick? They put a stick in her ice cream?? and Everyone elses? but they were eating theirs' so she'd try her's, licking her lips for a moment after.

...She'll admit. That's one tasty stick.

Yes, this pleases the fae. It probably placates her more than it should have, or quicker, given she'd been hissing less and ready to throw down less than a minute before. The little smile is a far cry from the scowl as she gives another nibble.]


On paper? ... I think you'd be off the sheet.

[That is how far out of the box he is. But no talk, she hungry. Tendou, the ice cream may have killed the conversation for little while.]

[ off the sheet, oh that makes tendou reel with— joy? he guffaws loudly and dramatically, a bark that chortles into a hahahaha!!! and feathers a lovely pink fluff. ]

Like this. [ half the ice cream used to be in his mouth, swirling his tongue around and cackling high. it's all fun! he absolutely adored it. eating an entire ball of ice cream right then and there was also a mistake, with tendou wailing: ] Brainfreee—eeze.

[And then there was Mikasa. Who in the time it took him to splutter as one scoop broke his brain, had managed to nibble at one scoop and had moved onto the next. That small, slightly awkward smile as ate. Antenna drooping forward, rapidly flicking. The pale line of her scar highlighting the flush that was building up and had already reached her wiggling ears.

The fae pauses at the small screech. Lifting her head, a little ice cream on her cheek. Then she just, nods.]


Yes it's cold.

[Yes, that made sense? Then it's back to her ice cream. It is life. Even if the ice cream they had didn't have much time left in this world.

But the ice cream's tragically short lifespan wasn't important.

Because it was a nice day to wander around eating ice cream in the sun. Though, now there was no ice cream to distract them. Mainly Tendou though, Mikasa was probably beyond distracting. She wasn't walking in a straight line, feet getting too close together, small little stumbles. Not enough for her to fall flat on her face, but something was happening.]

[ in all honesty, he was trying to be a clown. get her to laugh or at least get her lips to quirk and there it is. day made. how little ladies day should always be, in fact. wherever mikasa would like to skip to, tendou, ever faithful, would waltz after her (eating it like a normal person, wait, no—), but—

the chimera quickly holds a hand out to steady her. ]


Whoa there—! [ . . . . no way!!!! ] Feeling . . . Floaty?

Floaty..? [She blinks at him, a slight fog over her eyes. But her antenna slowly reached out, hello...That awkward smile of someone unused to smiling still on her face.] I can't. I don't have wings...

[The other fae had wings. She'd had wings in the dream. But not here.] I had them before, but couldn't fly. I crashed. [That was probably one of the most nonsensical things anyone here had heard from her. Even her occasional deadpan quip didn't match it in strange out of nowhere-ness.

Then after a few seconds of just staring at him. Her nose winkled, eyes closing a little. Then fully, because she just yawns at him. Then blinks it off. Slowly frowning.]


Why are you growing fur if it's not fluffy? [There were two kinds of fur. Fur for pets, and fur for hunted animals and pelts to keep warm. The former was the best and rarest.]

[ ashgkdjh excuse me!! tendou gawks and sputters out a laugh. ]

I am so definitely fluffy! [ hiking his colorful confetti sleeve up, the chimera exposes his arm of puppy-like fur, spotted and in the process of growing out the fine underlayer. it's mostly soft— but only because the coarse outer layer had yet to surface. ] Pet your heart out.

[Mikasa just, watches this. Staring at his hairy fucking leg.]

No. You're not small and fluffy...like a happy potato...

[She wishes to pet one(1) happy potato boy. And she pats the air in front of her for a moment, like he'll just appear there, then lowers her hand. Waits another few seconds, then turns to amble on back to the house Tataru had procured.]

[ ?! but— but he wanted the cuddlies . . . ! ]

I . . . Have competition?

[ against a happy potato ] ]

—Wait up, Mikasaaaaa. I need to see this furry potato with my own two eyes!
