Characters: Delita and Ashe
Summary: Seeking closure, the pair visit the Farplane to say goodbye to their loved ones.
Location: The Farplane and Guadosalam
Date: A few days after their return to Warjilis
Warnings: Initial angst?

Not lightly had the choice been made. Even as they rode on chocobo back with a half-hour's journey behind them, Ashelia couldn't help but question whether her decision to accompany Delita had been driven by selfishness. This place - the Farplane - somehow granted the opportunity to see images of those loved and lost. Journeying there meant she could see Rasler again, yet this reunion, she knew, would differ greatly from those past. Well, those in Gaia.

Her mind wandered, into the great halls of Raithwall's Tomb where the prince's ghostly form had materialised and gripped her heart. This would prove closer to the form she would find in the Farplane. Without being, a representation only. Yet it would not deceive her, as the Occuria had aimed for those years ago. No longer would she be toyed with, nor Rasler's likeness used undeservedly. In her eyes, this journey held one purpose alone.

To find some semblance of closure, and the will to embrace the future.

Summary: Discussing Rasler and the Lucavi
Location: Storage House
Date: October, before Ashe finds the Lucavi stone
Warnings: none

Delita slipped out from his room in silence. It would be unfortunate should his identity and allegiance become public. He takes out his phone and sends Ashelia a text, asking her to meet him at the designated storage house. While he was sure that she would not be pleased to hear his report, he hoped that she was noble enough to listen to him and consider her people's concerns. While he thought little of the father of her child, he knew that it was necessary that he sow the distrust methodically and carefully lest she come to find himself untrustworthy.

Upon entering the storage house, he could a place in the shadows to wait for the Queen. Knowing that it may take her a significant amount of time to be able to discretely respond to his message, he took the opportunity to rest and reflect upon his life post-Tietra and to determine where next his efforts lie.

Summary: The Big Meeting at Figaro - it's time for Discussion
Location: Figaro Castle

- - - - -


[Even in a castle, there were only a couple of places where a meeting of such a size could be held - and Edgar bowed to that fact, ordering tables brought into Figaro's throne room at the top of the palace. The throne itself was left unused for this meeting; there would be no one person above any. Instead, chairs lined the tables, with stacks of paper and writing utensils piled on each for anyone who wanted to take notes. With such important topics to discuss, there would undoubtedly be much to remember, either through paper notes or with the Sky Phone's recording functions.]

[Once everyone had settled, and the cups and pitchers of water had been distributed around, Edgar stood, clearing his throat unobtrusively before he began to speak.]


Everyone, thank you for coming to this gathering today, if no one has said it before, let me say it now: the reason Gaia has survived, and will continue to survive, is because of the courage we see displayed in this world. All of us, whether native or Sky Person, desire peace and an ending to these conflicts, and together we will achieve it. No villain from any world shall escape us, and we will make right the wrongs that have been perpetrated on the innocents. We are their guardians and protectors; we will fight to ensure they are able to continue their lives in peace. I thank each and every one of you for your efforts to further that cause, no matter what is necessary.

Now, we have several topics to discuss today, all of which have to do with threats from both Gaia and other worlds that have crossed over. By sharing our knowledge, we can hope to build a better worldwide defense than we currently possess, hopefully leading to a swift resolution of our problems. Please, don't hesitate to share any information you can - our maximum effectiveness can only be achieved by being forthcoming and willing to help the entire world. And now, we begin.

Summary: Delita takes Refia to the chocobo forest. Is it a date or not?
Location: Lindblum to Chocobo Forest
Date: June 1804

Realizing it was time to leave for Refia, Delita tied on his cloak pausing only long enough to shake some dirt off the edges. There was no reason for him to be apprehensive concerning this outing as he had already been to the forest multiple times. Yet contrary to his nature, he had spent time fussing over his appearance. Before leaving his room he steeled his nerves in, so as to not betray his feelings to the general populace.

As he approached the agreed upon meeting place, his thoughts dwelled on the ladies that had been in his life: Tietra, Alma, Ovelia, and now Refia. He knew not the importance of this meeting, yet one thing was solidified in his mind - he did not wish the lady Refia to die and he would ensure her safety was paramount.

Summary: Vows have been made, knots have been tied -- It's time to celebrate!
Location: The Castle Alexandria

Notes: Reception time! Party-Style tagging -- ninja tagging and thread-crashing is encouraged. For anyone who was invited personally (See the list of those who received an invitation), you've all been informed upon arriving at the palace and having your name checked against the list, that there will be accomidations made for you at the palace for staying overnight.




For those who had attended Garnet's Birthday party the previous summer, the sight would have been a familliar one -- the grand ballroom had been reconstructed since the disaster, and was once again ready to host a celebration. The decorations this time were beautiful and elegant, but noteably subdued; the same band of musicians had set up to one side of the floor, ready to provide the score for the evening. The largest different, however, lay in the fact that guests were first directed to another adjoining hall, where long banquest tables had been set up -- each place was set with plates, utensilves, napkins, and name cards -- yes, their seats had been chosen for them, with invitees being sat near their guests (if they brought them), and everyone else placed where needed. The kitchen staff were busy as could be, and the smells filtered through the halls. Although not as extravagant as one might have expected of a royal wedding, the night promised to be full of drinking, dancing, and music; a night Alexandria wouldn't soon forget.

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.]

Summary: Refia hasn't heard from her boys for awhile... and she's anxious
Location: Lindblum
Date: Now-ish
Warnings: None that I know of

Knowing that someone was watching over the chocobos in Alexandria, Refia had kept herself from tearing off to the other kingdom to reclaim them. Since landing in the harbor with Fran and Lenne, she'd made herself about as comfortable as she could at one of the inns, trading work for a bed and some food, but every moment she had free she spent at the main gate to the airships, waiting for any one of them to appear. They'd all been much farther out than she'd been, it was true, but one of them at least should have come by now? Right?

She'd become a regular fixture by now, sitting on the stoop of a door that apparently never opened and huddled in her white robe for warmth, arms around her knees. Once again she was in that exact same posture, watching the people emerging from the airships, waiting for the other three.

Location: Farplane
Date: November (before the Heads of State Meeting)
Warnings: N/A

Delita was still awake. Still not trusting the inhabitants nearby, he had not felt comfortable letting his guard down. While he trusted the Queen as much as he would trust any noble, he did not wish for her to watch over him, and allowing this self-proclaimed emperor to stand watch was not an event he wished for.

Sitting up alone in the middle of the night allowed him time to meditate on the events of the day and he allowed his thoughts to dwell on this Farplane he had heard spoken of. It was unbelievable to think of the dead coming to visit in this place, yet his curiousity was aroused. He was wrestling with sneaking off to see this place or staying put and guarding Garnet.

His love for his sister won over his intrique over the ruler of Alexandria and he quietly opened the door and snuck out into the street. In no way was he going to allow anyone to see him grieve for his sister, but he would risk everything to see her once more.

Another morning, a new day. Delita wasn't yet sure what he should do this morning. He had already scoped out the entire city, but he still knew relatively nothing about his new home. Perhaps, he could contact some of his new acquaintances and scavenge for more information, but taking the day off sounded much better. As his stomach began to growl, he realized that he would need to leave his warm bed, and find some breakfast.

Opening his eyes, he realized this was not the same place he had laid to rest the previous evening. Had he been thrust into yet another new world? Lest panic set in, he quickly inventoried his possessions recognizing the gift from the moogle. Resigning himself to his fate yet again, he looked around the area. He would begin searching for answers soon, but first he would fill his stomach.

Summary: Part II! Several hours into the Ball at Palace Alexandria, the party is crashed by an unwelcome clown. Chaos ensues.
Location: Palace Alexandria
Date: June 21st, 1803
Warnings: Violence. Potentially of the Graphic Nature

Considering the large number of attendants, the party had been going over rather well. People were dancing, laughing, and generally enjoying themselves. The sun had set long ago, and the full twin moons hung high in the Gaian sky. Things were in full swing, the wine beginning to flow more freely. There had been a few bumps in the road (the chefs nearly running out of finger-foods, and that one near-brawl that had drawn so much attention), but otherwise, an ideal party! And best of all, it seemed there was no sign of the much feared threat of a crazy-man's assault on their queen.

Yes, all in all, things were going very well...

Summary: The party you've all been waiting for: the Grand Ball of Alexandria!
Location: Palace Alexandria
Date: June 21st, 1803
Warnings: TBA. Eventually, Violence.

For weeks, the palace had been abuzz with activity; even more so than usual. On top of the usual hustle and bustle of daily life, there were the extensive preparations to be done for the festival, and this, the grand finale. The palace's largest ballroom had been decorated from floor to ceiling, wall to wall. Long elaborate draperies of silk and chiffon in white and cream, the stairs lined in a rich, crimson carpeting. Gold and silver everywhere, framing the large windows and the door opening out to the courtyard. A warm summer evening, with the roses in full bloom. Flowers adorned every table, column, and doorway. It wasn't just the ballroom that had been decorated, however; the entire palace was decked in regalia, the staff having obviously anticipated the crowd to be much larger than usual.

All around the palace, inside and out, the guard was on high alert. Every guest was greeted, checked, and in the case of the higher-ranked, announced to the company at large. The sun had not quite set, and already the ballroom was half full; nobles and low-born alike, natives and foreigners, all dressed in their best. The guest of honor had yet to make her appearance, but no one seemed to be fussed by the fact.

But the night was young, and there was bound to plenty of seeing and being seen before the night was over.

Summary: It's Queen Garnet's birthday and everyone's invited to celebrate.
Location: Alexandria
Date: (pre-dated) June 18-21
Warnings: Only what you bring to the table.

With the matriarchal nature of Alexandria, it was no small surprise that the birthday celebrations for her Queen were given the most lavish attention. Everywhere the eye could see, garlands of flowers and brightly colored pennants hung from every home, criss-crossing her streets. The very air hummed with celebration, as the crowds flooded in the city gates, past the female guards. Said guards were taking extra care to confirm the identities and intent of the celebrants, causing a minor traffic jam of human bodies to pile up just outside.

Once past the check, the celebratory feel was tangible. Vendors and merchants, eager for their cut of the profits, lined the streets, hawking everything from gysahl pickle kebabs to lavish jewelry with a regal flare. Shopping venues were broken up by quirky games that involved guessing sleight of hand, catching goldfish with tissue paper, and guessing which female soldier would win in what was obviously a fixed spar with a Knight of Pluto. It was summertime and hot, the smell of warm dirty farmer mixing with perfumed Treno noble competed with roasted meats and fried sweets. Small children squealed with delight at the tame chocobo rides and miniature petting zoo at one end of the front square. Lively music rang out over the din of the crowds, adding to the energetic feel of the modest city.

At the far end of the city, a crowd built up at the castle gates, as the overworked Alexandrian soldiers accepted and registered the deluge of gifts being presented. While the grounds themselves were closed to the commonfolk, the excited murmurs of those lucky enough to attain tickets to the play announced that the barrier would not always be so.

((This is the festival portion part of the celebrations. The play and the ball will be going up in seperate threads in a few days. This thread is your all purpose stop for your Alexandria festivities going for the three day span. If you can imagine a fair type activity, feel free to include it in your rp. Don't feel limited to what's here.))
