[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.]

Delita offered his hand to escort her towards the dance floor. It really was his honor to spend some extra time with the Viera. He assumed his date for the evening would be unconcerned as she herself was dancing across the ballroom at the very moment.

He listened as the music started again, a small look of concern permeating his face as he found that he didn't recognize the selection. "It seems like a dance that I am unaware of. Has it familiar sound to yourself or must we carefully tread this piece?"

Mjrn was likewise unconcerned. Her own date could not be found at the moment and their was no reason she could see to forbid dancing with others. If he made someone happy by giving them enough time for a dance, all the better. She would reunite with him soon enough.

At Delita's question, she listened for a moment, then frowned doubtfully. "It does not sound familiar...but I do not mind making an attempt, if you are willing."

"I am willing." He spoke as he watched the lineup for the dance.

He chose an open spot near the edge of the group as the music began.
