Summary: The party you've all been waiting for: the Grand Ball of Alexandria!
Location: Palace Alexandria
Date: June 21st, 1803
Warnings: TBA. Eventually, Violence.
For weeks, the palace had been abuzz with activity; even more so than usual. On top of the usual hustle and bustle of daily life, there were the extensive preparations to be done for the festival, and this, the grand finale. The palace's largest ballroom had been decorated from floor to ceiling, wall to wall. Long elaborate draperies of silk and chiffon in white and cream, the stairs lined in a rich, crimson carpeting. Gold and silver everywhere, framing the large windows and the door opening out to the courtyard. A warm summer evening, with the roses in full bloom. Flowers adorned every table, column, and doorway. It wasn't just the ballroom that had been decorated, however; the entire palace was decked in regalia, the staff having obviously anticipated the crowd to be much larger than usual.
All around the palace, inside and out, the guard was on high alert. Every guest was greeted, checked, and in the case of the higher-ranked, announced to the company at large. The sun had not quite set, and already the ballroom was half full; nobles and low-born alike, natives and foreigners, all dressed in their best. The guest of honor had yet to make her appearance, but no one seemed to be fussed by the fact.
But the night was young, and there was bound to plenty of seeing and being seen before the night was over.
[[ooc: Here we go, everyone! Party style still applies. Tag in, tag each other, mingle, HAVE FUN!... while you can. Thread jumping and ninja tagging is encouraged. ^.^]]
Update: A fist fight broke out on page two. Feel free to ninja in to spectate, generally comment or gasp, or just read it and have a laugh. Appropriate authority figures... Squall, Steiner, etc may need to step in.

Date: 2009-10-23 02:34 am (UTC)He still wasn't quite sure who this was all for. If this was a normal occurance, this town sure knew how to throw a party! Luneth was, of course, automatically drawn to any places that would be near food. He meandered toward a long buffet table covered in assorted cheeses and fresh fruits, and just munched away. He'd seen many familiar faces, but wasn't sure with whom to speak just yet. He could already tell who the limelight was really for, but he'd only seen her once, and mumbled pathetically.
He pulled the collar on the suit. It was a little tight; the seamstress had to rush things and he kept fidgeting during the measurements. He hoped Refia would show up. He wanted to see what she might wear. And he'd been practising Mjrn's name, so it would be even better if he saw her. He was grateful to the place like Alexandria, though. It was free food and mingling abound! Luneth's favourite.
He looked around for "willing participants" with a piece of celery hanging from his mouth while he absent-mindedly chewed and searched.

Even if she hadn't known him, Rydia wasn't shy about striking up a conversation, but she couldn't forget the boy who had arrived to Gaia in such dire circumstances. "Luneth! This is a welcome sight!"

Date: 2009-10-23 03:02 am (UTC)She was sure she'd been to at least two balls back when she was a mind-controlled slave of the empire, usually there to make sure no harm came to anyone important, but they were...blurry memories. Flashes of a dress, the distant hum of music she hadn't really heard, and even the occasional broken greeting from someone who didn't know you weren't supposed to talk to the hired help.
But this was the first time she'd been to one as, well, herself. And she was exceedingly out of her element. The only reason she hadn't felt the place was that she'd promised herself she wouldn't. She was going to see this through, because it was important. It was something she was supposed to be able to do. It wasn't supposed to be so...Frightening.
But just because she was there, didn't mean she was doing much in the way of being present. She was just...watching.

Date: 2009-10-23 03:52 am (UTC)He began to walk toward her, but slowed down as he tried to remember her name. Something like... Selfer or Sadie or something. Come on, think! he tried to force his memory as he neared her.
As he studied her dress, she looked like she had cut it right from the draperies around the ballroom. It was that elegant to him, but he was no fashionista; anything bright and draping sort of made him oggle. Oggle innocently.
"Hey! Umm... Sephie, right?"
He almost got it right.

Date: 2009-10-23 03:41 am (UTC)Rydia entered the palace ballroom alone, doing her best to mask her irritation and impatience with bright smiles. Where was Edge? She hadn't seen him all day and though she knew he didn't care much for formality, at least a token effort to join her would have been appreciated. Oh, well. It wasn't as though she couldn't befriend and dance with other people.
The young summoner was clad in garb of Cleyran (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/evilhippygoddess/ffIX-artbook034.jpg?t=1256021669) design. It was a shade of green as brilliant as her emerald-hued hair, which was drawn up into a high ponytail and held in place with an elaborate Cleyran clasp. The outfit felt far lighter than her usual one, and she enjoyed the novelty of sleeves that were neither extremely long nor heavy. Her gold bracelets and anklets clinked as she moved further into the room, wandering around in hopes of spotting a familiar or friendly face. Either would do.

Entering the already crowded ballroom, Squall began to look around to see if he could find any familiar faces around.

Date: 2009-10-23 04:37 am (UTC)The crowds parted to let him through and Gabranth set about trying to find one of the Solidors. Preferably Larsa, as he wished to see him in his older state in person, yet he had business with Vayne and had to speak with him.
His master had called and, as any obediant puppy should, he came running.

Date: 2009-10-23 05:09 am (UTC)He did not care for being without his armies or imperial resources, but he would do as he must.
After some time, a familiar face appeared in a break in the crowd. Gabranth. Vayne found himself torn between wanting to beat the man until he confessed to whatever betrayal it seemed he had meted out in the future, and the very real necessity of keeping one of his judges nearby.
With the cool confidence that the eldest Solidor exuded, Vayne closed the distance between them and uttered but a single word.
"Gabranth."

Crossing a single arm over that golden vest, he sipped his glass of wine, just quietly enjoying the atmosphere.

He wanted to go home, they'd been away long enough.

Date: 2009-10-23 06:00 am (UTC)He hung back from any areas that were too crowded, pacing every so often to get a new view of everything. Once he'd found a good enough position, he paused there and folded his arms... just waiting and watching.

Date: 2009-10-23 06:19 am (UTC)Well, he couldn't escape socializing entirely. She approached him with a broad smile, clad in gear that didn't seem suitable for battle...yet, it was lighter than her usual attire and she had managed to fight well enough in that. "Thanks for being so easy to spot from a distance. I scarcely expended any effort to find you."

Date: 2009-10-23 07:23 am (UTC)She had managed to find herself a rather pretty blue gown (http://i35.tinypic.com/282n61x.jpg) the previous day, complete with matching sleeves (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VlJ9wF3EnVc/SMP5YAOewUI/AAAAAAAABSg/q9bFG4JXwz0/s320/Final_Fantasy_IX_Zidane_Garnet.jpg) for a touch of modesty. Rinoa and Selphie had managed to convince her to let her hair out of its usual clipped up style, and instead was now styled in a loose chignon (http://i36.tinypic.com/eurerp.jpg) resting at the nape of her neck. Her face was relatively untouched with makeup, her eyes only lined at the top in black and lips touched with a light hue of pink rouge. The slight change in appearance made her look more approachable than usual, her standard sharpness smoothed out, and she looked every part a young lady who belonged at such a regal ball.
Of course, though Quistis was a guest invited to celebrate the Queen's birthday, she was also a SeeD on duty- beneath the cascading layers of chiffon, her trusty Save the Queen was wrapped securely around her right thigh, the only place she could successfully hide the weapon for easy access which would also allow for it to slip past the check point. She sincerely hoped that nothing would come about during the night which would require her to retrieve her whip- it was such a lovely evening, a time to celebrate and be merry and it surely didn't deserve to be blemished.
A wistful smile fell on her lips as she watched Selphie mingle with a stream of guests. Though not exactly socially awkward herself, Quistis could never possess the sort of natural free spirit that the petite brunette had. To Quistis, being able to mingle was just a skill required of SeeD as it was a useful approach to subtly draw out important information which would aid in their mission- sincere small talk was something Quistis had little experience in. Not wanting for her anxiousness to show, Quistis slipped on a controlled expression, eyes scanning the area in hopes of catching a friendly face to strike up a conversation with.
no subject
Date: 2009-10-23 08:42 pm (UTC)Peering around for her date, Mjrn tried to wade back through the crowd toward the entrance. If she wandered too far away from it, they might never find each other. So focused on her path was Mjrn that she didn't notice the oblivious pair of nobles until it was almost too late. Quickly, she took a step back to let them pass, nearly colliding with Quistis in the process.

Date: 2009-10-23 08:12 am (UTC)Mjrn tried not to gape, but it was difficult. The palace ballroom was beyond anything she had ever seen before, and the combined effect of regalia, flowers, draperies and so on was intoxicating. She felt rather small and insignificant by comparison, suddenly fearful that all her careful preparation was perhaps not enough. Many nobles were in attire far more elaborate and she suddenly wondered if her attempt at hume attire was not enough.
The young Viera was clad in a long gown (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/evilhippygoddess/hm4_1_19_1_big.jpg?t=1256021045) of silver and white, a sharp contrast to her dark skin and complimenting her bright hair. She was slightly regretful that said hair was too short to style in any elaborate way, and the seed for thoughts of growing her hair as Fran and Jote did took root. The dress was far more clothing than Mjrn had ever worn in her life, and she felt a little confined as a result, but at least she could now move around in it without tripping. That was an accomplishment in and of itself.
She took a deep breath, making an effort to seem less self-conscious and more graceful than she felt. Time would tell if that effort had any success.
no subject
Date: 2009-10-23 07:06 pm (UTC)Her attire indeed shocked him. She was fully clothed. A surprise for a native to Ivalice, but more of a surprise to a hume so closely tied to their family, even if he was likely part of the reason Fran would never return. Not in his lifetime, at least.
"Mjrn. You look absolutely spectacular, this evening." Of course, he couldn't put any kind of moves on this Viera. Fran would punish him continually for at least a month. In various hideous ways. Mostly involving her claws. Still, he gave his polite bow, a soft smile on his face.

Date: 2009-10-23 06:19 pm (UTC)Something caught her eye when she passed--and then paused. Was that someone behind a drape? For a moment, the summoner couldn't help but wonder if there was some risque behavior involved, but she saw only one pair of feet. "...are you all right?"

Date: 2009-10-23 04:47 pm (UTC)While the atmosphere was lively, Ashe was no stranger to formal dances and could sense the dignified control the guests were sustaining. It seemed very unlikely any misbehaviour would come to pass that night. Composed and curious, Ashe glanced around, watching, gray eyes scanning over celebrants and guards alike. Thankfully, the activity was all external and the unborn heir to Dalmasca was resting.
Already, she was pleased to have made the effort to attend.

Date: 2009-10-23 11:46 pm (UTC)"Oh! I'm sorry!" The White Mage smiled apologetically, moving to one side so she was out of the way. "It's a little more crowded than I thought it would be."

He observed the party looking at all the new faces. Some, he could tell, from other worlds just like him. It seemed as though Irvine didn't feel so out of place anymore, as he strolled along, mingling with the crowd, and of course eying a few ladies in the room.

"Presenting, her Royal Majesty, Queen Garnet til Alexandros!"
For a moment, she could almost feel the turning of heads, the eyes upon on her as she descended the staircase.
