Event: Eiko's Birthday Ball

Characters: OPEN to all party guests
Progress: Ongoing
Summary: A big party for a small girl. Yep, it's Eiko's birthday and she's having a ball.
Location: Lindblum Grand Castle
Date: March 21st, 1804
Warnings: N/A so far

Nobody could say that Regent Cid wasn't generous when it came to his adopted daughter, Eiko. In fact, some said that he was too indulgent. But on this, the evening of Eiko's tenth birthday, the citizens of Lindblum were ready and eager to celebrate. A free ball! Free drinks, free food, and a free pass into Lindblum Grand Castle. Many had failed to acquire tickets in time and were disappointed, but the lucky few piled eagerly into the castle.

Security was tight, and every single guest was checked by the guards before being allowed to enter. Once inside, they would find a wide and sumptuously decorated ballroom. A small group of musicians played slow and ambient music, while the party guests swayed across the floor dressed in all their finery. What could only be described as a flock of moogles flew or scurried around the room, offering glasses of champagne and various sweet treats. Regent Cid himself sat on a grand throne at the head of the room, nodding graciously at the guests who came to pay their respects. 

The ball was already in full swing, and the party would go on for a long while yet.

[ooc: Don't worry if you didn't comment to Regent Cid's earlier post requesting tickets. Handwaving is just fine if you want to hop in. It's party style - go tag and mingle! Thread jumping and ninja tagging is encouraged.]

[ooc: Eiko has made a very loud announcement about a celebrity couple's engagement. Feel free to overhear, react or congratulate.]

"He should," Terra hadn't asked him quite yet what he thought of all this. Part of her was afraid Sabin wouldn't know and then where would they be?

"I am sure we will figure it out. But...not tonight." A faint little smile. "Are you here with anyone tonight?"

Rydia nods, remembering to take a look around for him at that point. "Oh, yes. His name is Edge and he's a friend from home. We got separated, but I'm sure I'll find him again soon. What about you, are you here with anyone?"

Terra smiled, glad to know her friend had come with someone. Just because she hadn't didn't mean everyone else shouldn't, after all! "Oh, I wanted to come but didn't want to come by myself so I made Celes come with me," she smiled a bit sheepishly at that. "But I'm not sure she's having any fun."

Rydia raised an eyebrow. She thought Locke would be ensuring Celes' good time, as much as he could. "Really? Hm. Locke ought to be nudged into dancing with her. He can't let my lessons go to waste!"

Terra nodded her head, "yes. If he doesn't ask her eventually, I will probably go and find him." She didn't want to have to do that, but she would.

Rydia chuckled at that idea, nodding approvingly. "Good idea. And...I hope you get the chance, too." If Edward wasn't busy keeping Yuna content, Rydia might have given thought to introducing them. Still, Terra reminded her strongly of Rosa in some ways and she had little doubt that the other would receive some attention, if she so wanted it.
