[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.]

Poor Eiko, though it was probably a good idea that Rosa had no idea what was really going through her mind. Kain was always a difficult subject, and she had an inkling that she was special to him, though not quite to the exact extent.

The answer Eiko gave was an acceptable one, though, and Rosa smiled in response. "Have you met Cecil yet?"

"Not yet, but I want to. I'm glad he's back. Rydia was really sad when he went away." Eiko looked down for a minute, thinking about some of the other people she'd grown attached to who vanished too. It wasn't fair to have friends taken away like that. It occurred to her that Rydia could vanish on her too and that idea really distressed her. "Is he a nice guy?"

"She and I both were," Rosa murmured sadly for a moment, reaching out to gently rest a hand on Eiko's shoulder. "But the important thing is that Cecil's back and safe. I'd rather he be at home and safe than here and in danger."

The question brought a smile to her lips, though. "He's very kind. Someday, when he and I may visit you, I'll introduce you. I'm certain he wouldn't mind meeting you."
