Event: Eiko's Birthday Ball

[tidesnpcs.livejournal.com]

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.]

Utterly amazed by how badly this night has begun, Halim truly hoped some sort of good could be salvaged from it. He did not come all this way for such a day to end so poorly, so perhaps he will give his apologies later to Genesis while Vossler is out of earshot.

The Dalmascan Knight certainly bore no love for the two former employees of Vayne, and with just cause. The Marquis could understand the mercenaries need for work, and had they not come to Wutai's aid when it's people needed them; the entire country would have been in ruins. However, because of their interference they are apart of the reason why the Gaians still view Vayne so heroically. In a sense, the two mercenaries aided in Vayne by dooming any naysayer who spoke against him by doing his dirty work. This was certainly a thought that somewhat troubled Halim still.

"Nay, I shall not lecture you, but..." Unsure what to say to Genesis next, Ondore allowed his words to falter.

/drive-by ninja tag!

From all appearances, a game of tag had broken out amongst the children at the party, or so one could assume from the sudden chaos that erupted as tiny bodies rushed about, screaming and laughing. It was nearly impossible to make out who was 'It' but that didn't matter much to the munchkins. The birthday girl herself was among the players and came running by, crashed into Marquis Ondore, then continued on her way, calling out behind her, "Oops! Sorry!!"

Nearly trampled over by the little princess, Ondore had to laugh once Lady Eiko scampered away followed by two other. "My, isn't she quite spirited tonight." The Marquis laughed as he watched the children run off into the crowd.
