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.]

Kain knew better than to get too hopeful about an instant escape, but the thought did occur somewhere in the back of his mind. It would have been a better way to spend his time. But he wasn't about to pry Mjrn away from this if she actually wanted to be here.

"I would appreciate that, since I haven't been there yet." To Kain, the very name suggested an excellent location for dragoon training. He was surprised he hadn't come across it yet.

"Good. I hope you do not mind some extra company. My cockatrice friend cannot remain in the airship all day; the trips are as much for her sake as my own. She will not interrupt us, however." Chit had learned by now that Mjrn took her training seriously, and saved her attention-seeking moments for afterward. That wasn't to say that they wouldn't have an audience, though. Sporadically, Chit often wandered only to return to watch Mjrn anyway.

Kain had almost forgotten about that monster she'd adopted. Or... well... for some inexplicable reason it wasn't hostile, so perhaps "monster" wasn't so accurate a term. He nodded. "I'll admit, I still find it strange to keep one as a pet, but if she's truly that tame, and won't get in our way... I won't mind."
