Russia, Day 4
Who: Group Xi
What: Dinner for the Grand Duke
Where: Alexander Palace
When: Day 4 (OOC, this will probably be open through the weekend)
Warnings: Could be anything. It's a party post.
Notes: Put your character's location in the subject line!

Dinner is an opulent affair.

The formal dining room has place settings for all scheduled attendees. Darcy and Helena are seated at either side of the Grand Duke, who keeps taking liberties with his hands that everyone at the table can see (including Vlad). The dinner is informal, and parties can dine at their leisure while enjoying the other activities of the evening.

The ballroom is chandelier lit for the evening, and an orchestra plays formal dance music, though the collection of nationalities present means that anyone can dance without standing out (as long as they're appropriately attired). There are curtained alcoves off the ballroom that afford some privacy for those so inclined. Lvov will stop his spies periodically, reminding them of the price of betraying him, while Pavel will be watching Joanie from a distance throughout the evening.

[Guests: Helena, Darcy, Vlad, Luther, Joanie, Nicky, Ella, Tegan]

Palace employees are all working the evening of the dinner/dance, and they have access to clothing in the guests' rooms (should they want to crash the festivities), and to the entire palace (should they want to work).

[Palace employees: Oliver, Will, Sam, Rosalie, Jane!Vaughn]

Outside the palace, the mob has seen Vlad, and they remain convinced he's Rasputin and that Jane!Vaughn and Ella are his witches. Even Alexandra seems to feel the same way, as she keeps drawing him aside and whispering to him. The mob is also still in pursuit of a Beast and a Tiger. Therefore, our village-hangers-on have been forced to hide in and within the palace, to keep from getting pitchforked. This group better sneak a bath and some clothing if they want to enter the palace proper.

[Hiding in the Palace: Daniel, Sebastian, Lily, Bernadette ]

[This is a party style thread. Put your character's location within the palace in your subject line. Have dinner, mingle, dance, sneak into one of those alcoves, go take a bath in a huge claw-foot tub, steal clothes, eat the Grand Duke for hitting on your woman, have fun!]

	"Locked in a - ?" Sam started, but then was interrupted by the sound of a tiger sporffling his ass off. Not at the situation, but mostly at the way Sam bristled at the explanation. "Well, I hope you're right," he said, echoing what Beauty had said earlier. "I'm going to find her though, just so I can make su - what?" he asked, noticing the eyebrow quirk.

The smile she gave him was entirely serene and entirely knowing. When the music stopped, she dipped into a low curtsy, and she looked at him with entertained eyes as she straightened. "Tell her I said to be careful, oui? Lvov is pacing like a caged tiger, and the Empress believes she has found her Rasputin and searches for his witches."

She said it all in a tone that said she believed none of it, that she was joking, being playful, just in case anyone was near enough to hear them. She held out her gloved hand for him to kiss, and she lowered her voice one more time. "Thank you for bringing me my message. Now, fuir." Flee. Shoo. Go and find your lady.

She'd have to tell Joanie that perhaps she had been wrong about the princes in the castle.

	Oh great, a witch hunt. Just what they all needed. It wasn't bad enough that the villagers wanted Beast and Shere Khan to die in a fire, literally. "Of course," Sam replied, kissing Beauty's hand and bowing at the waist in a gentlemanly gesture. "Merci boucoup," he added, for the dance. Hopefully lovestruck!Beast!Daniel and Bellella would find each other soon. (Reply to this) (Parent)
