[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.]

It was true that Edward certainly looked to be around Larsa's age, the bard-like prince always thought of himself as older than his appearance. Perhaps it was the brutal conflicts in Damcyan that aged him, or maybe it was the fact he lost a piece of his soul when Anna died. Whichever the reason, sometimes Edward forgets his own age.

"That is true. We are both young enough to be brothers or at least cousins." He said with a sprightly laugh. Larsa was like no other he knew. He was reminiscent of Cecil, but certainly more poised in mannerism like Yang. The Emperor of Archades had certain flair with words that truly made him quite likable in Edward's opinion. Yes, this fellow was a worthy cad to befriend.

“May I ask what Archades is like? My kingdom of Damcyan is surrounded by deserts as far and wide as the eyes see. It’s climate is quite hot during the day as you could imagine, but the nights bring a bitter chill.”
