Summerview Park IC

The ball this week is Renaissance themed! Guests will find a suitable outfit in their wardrobe, and the music and dances are old fashioned but yet somehow everyone knows how to dance them.

It’s the end of summer, so a perfect time for the Harvest celebration! A huge banquet celebrating the harvest is set before the ball, and Kitty Bennet and George Knightley find a pea in their harvest cake and are selected as the Harvest King and Queen! The ball is decorated with apples and produce and harvest bounty, and the king and queen sit on a throne-they also are given a special power! If a guests gives them a 10 pound donation, they can grant one simple wish!

The weekly ball is like walking in a dream-literally. Guests arrive in the manor to find their clothing matching their dreams! Guests can see images from their dreams throughout the ballroom, and are able to see flashes of other people's dreams. The ballroom floor is misty like a cloud, adding to the atmosphere.

It is a magical winter wonderland in the ballroom, even though the manor has returned to it's normal summer self. Guests arrive to see falling snow and a snow covered ballroom-but don't worry-no chill is in the air and the falling snow disappears before it lands. There are Christmas trees and winter decorations throughout, and the usual lemonade and punch is accompanied by mulled wine. Enjoy the magic, surely will be a night to remember!

It is the Sweethearts Ball! Guests will arrive and receive their dance card, only to discover they have already been filled in by Whistledown and they are required to dance with that person. The dance is mandatory-any guest who tries to stay away will find themselves zapped into the thick of it all. Try to enjoy the romance!

The evening begins with a grand entrance, with families descending into the ballroom together, and singletons following. Plenty of lemonade and food is available, and the room has a lovely purple and lilac glow, with much extra seating put out for any elderly relatives. There are less dances than usual, with a few musical interludes to allow for more socializing.

Instead of a formal ball, an outdoor celebratory dessert and informal dance is organized in the town square of the lovely little seaside village guests have found themselves at. The square is lit up with torches and candle light, tables are filled with ice cream, watermelon, plenty of desserts, and large amounts of strawberry lemonade and mint iced tea. There is a fireworks display in the middle of the party for the delight of all!

The last ball of June is the Lion and the Unicorn Ball. Characters must wear either all white (unicorn) or all red (lion), and find they can only dance with those of the opposite color. Characters with the same faces will have mirrored dance cards.

It is Miss Georgina Darcy's 18th birthday! In her honor, a large cake is brought out and the birthday honoree is given a throne of honor. The cake tastes like their favorite flavor, and, for one dance the entire room is empty except for Miss Georgiana and her choice of dance partner.

And now we come to the weekly ball, and after a strange few days experiencing the future, Lady Whistledown announces that all the men will need to be asked by the women to dance. Men are welcome to say no, but if they try and ask for a dance their partner can't write it down. Enjoy modernity!

The ball this week starts later than usual, and it is a masquerade! Whistledown has some mischief in mind and hopes you choose a mask that will make you have a little extra fun.

It is the end of the first month at Summerview Park, and Lady Whistledown has invited a whole new set of guests to enjoy the fun. The ballroom is dripping in roses and swirling ivy, candles drip like pearls, and champagne is flowing in earnest.

It's another ball at Summerview Park, this one as lovely in terms of decor as the last. In light of the light colors, the punch is sparkling apple, and some might notice repeated dancing on the part of some.

The second ball of Summerview Park proves to be slightly less eventful than the first, despite some shenanigans on the part of several guests. What does your character do?

Your character arrives at the Park, is shown their private chambers and given their journal with instructions, and told to come formally dressed to the assembly. It is held in late afternoon, before the evening meal, and everyone is formally introduced so that all are acquainted for the duration. You are welcome to thread or make narratives here, or you can make separate threads as you wish. The ball will hear Lady Whistledown welcome them to the assembly, but try as they might, they will not see her. What is this place, and who is this woman, really?
