003 // we waltz on your front porch

[serpentis]

Who: Dorian
Broadcast: Fleet-wide!
Action: USE A GODDAMN MINGLE LOG I HAVE TOP LEVELS IN ALL OF THEM kids these days
When: 2/14, night

[Drift fleet, are you ready? Here is your resident charming mage, looking extra charming tonight. He smiles, almost victoriously.]

I do hope you all know how to dance. I have managed to secure an open invitation for myself, and however many guests I wish, to a gala in seven days, on Adsum. Hopefully it's not entirely dull, but they would need at least three murders to make for an exciting evening...I wouldn't hold my breath, were I you.

Do let me know if you're interested. And I warn you, you had better make yourself fit for being seen in public.

[To Jove]
I do hope you have a proper gown.

[To Arhen]
How would you care for a party?

((OOC: Gala IC post! The gala log itself will be posted next Saturday. Also, Dorian is currently afflicted with the pheromones malfunction. Do with that as you will.))

Oh absolutely. I keep it with my collection of fine wines and cheeses.

[serpentis]

You always were a woman of great taste. In food, clothing, and in friends, as well.

[He smiles.]

[ Look who's in her new bunk roooooom! It's Stephanie. It is. ]

Oh! Will there be dancing, do you think? I don't really know how to dance, but I've always... oh, but I wouldn't have anything to wear...

[ Not to mention your HAIR, darling... ]

[serpentis]

I believe we have a tailor whose service are available, should you have a need.

[Kaneis has no interest in going to a gala. He grew up with Galas. He's so done with them]

[But...he has to ask]

Okay, I gotta ask - is that just an expression about the murders or do you really think a party needs three people dead to be exciting.

[serpentis]

Any party without at least once casualty is terribly dull, in Tevinter. Of course, we often expect it to wait until after the main course- too early can be just as disastrous as not at all.

[stopbleeding]

Only three? Sounds pretty dull. Might wanna raise the quota.

[serpentis]

How ambitious!

[blindoptimism]

[ha... sounds a little bit like parties in her world. But hmmmm a party. She's only talked to this man once and normally wouldn't be so forward, but.... She feels uncharacteristically like a school girl with a puppy dog crush]

It sounds as if you're used to very interesting parties...

video

[serpentis]

Terribly interesting, I'm afraid. A bit on mundanity wouldn't be met with regret.

How have you been? You'll have to forgive me that we weren't able to finish our previous chat. You have my humblest apologies.

Video

[wolfuncaged]

No.

[Wow, that was super abrupt and rude.]

Video

[serpentis]

[He laughs softly.]

Ah, whyever not, my charming friend? I dare say you might clean up well.

video

[ladiesss]

The whole fancy-dress deal and everything? I haven't been to something like that in years...

[but since she doesn't seem very old, that might not actually be that long.]

video

[serpentis]

Indeed! I thought we might benefit from a night of levity.

Video

[onlyanapple]

[Well, ~hello~ ]

Given my crew have stopped trying to jump me, I do believe it's safe for me to venture out. It'd certainly be a shame to miss a party.

Video

[serpentis]

Ah, perhaps you can play some of that music you graced us with, previously.

[heresyandlace]

An honest-to-the-gods gala? ....Well, it would be criminal of me to deprive the party-goers of my presence, I think.

In the interest of good will, I think I'd better attend.

video;

[serpentis]

Ah, wonderful. I'll count you among my guests. Do let me know should you need help but...I think you'll pass muster easily enough.

[faithfulwisdom]

You have high standards for excitement, friend.

[serpentis]

Yes, well, they set a high bar in Tevinter.

[noherald]

Please tell me you aren't serious, Dorian.

[serpentis]

[Is this a Dalish thing, the unwillingness to be seen in public?]

Entirely serious. If you don't wish to go, you don't need to, but I thought perhaps you might like the opportunity to dance.

[limitstorm]

[ ignore the icons, because this kid's hair is past his shoulders. he looks more sheepdog. ]

D'you think there'd be anyone who would tell us anything important, there?

[ mission: recon. ]

video;

[serpentis]

Hmm, I suppose that entirely depends on what you consider "important". You're more than welcome to see what you can find.

video;

[ino]

Oh, that sounds like fun!

video;

[serpentis]

I'm not surprised that you agree, Ino! I do hope to see you there. We could use someone to truly stand out and show them what beauty is.
