WHO: Mary Crawley and OTA
WHEN: 226405.01 afternoon
WHERE: Downton simulation of the holodeck
SUMMARY: Tea party! Open to anyone.
WARNINGS: Probably none

The tea party was set up back in the rose garden behind Downton. Since the weather was always beautiful in the simulation, Mary thought it might be nice to have it outside. Guests were still taken through the house to the back in order to show it off a bit. A long table was set with perfectly arranged place settings that included a teacup, saucer, plate, and silverware. Another nearby table was laden with tea pots and food. There was a gramophone playing soft classical music in the background, though Mary would later switch it to jazz in order to change it up a bit.

Since it was an open invitation, guests would be able to sit wherever they liked. Mary took the head of the table, where she could direct the goings on, though she would try to mingle later in order to speak to the guests. The footmen, even though oddly robotic, performed their jobs perfectly and saw to it that everyone had enough food and drink.

Padme and Open

Tea Parties were not a concept that Padme was unfamiliar with, in fact they were one of the more fun types of social events to attend. This simulation was probably, she surmised, going to be different from her own parties hosted at her apartment on Coruscant. And she was right - Downtown Abbey couldn't compare. It was a gorgeous space, and the gardens were too lovely for words.

She found a seat near to Mary, but far enough to give her space if she wanted, and accepted a pouring of Darjeeling to start with. Two lumps of sugar were added, and then she settled in to people watch or have a conversation with anyone feeling friendly.

Padme and Mary

Mary smiled at Padme and leaned in to speak to speak to her. "I'm so glad that you were able to come. I hope that you have been settling in well."

She liked Padme because she seemed to have taste and an understanding of culture. Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for everyone on the ship. Still, Mary was glad to have whatever guests showed up and hoped that they would find her ancestral home as beautiful as she did.

	"The Royal Handmaidens aren't just ladies in waiting, they're also bodyguards. We're all trained to fight. Melee combat, tactics, and how to fire a blaster. A little bit of infiltration." Padmé replied, grinning. "I admit, I enjoy getting a chance to take part in more 'aggressive' negotiations sometimes." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Goodness," Mary replied. "I cannot see our Queen fighting." Nor could she see herself or her maid Anna doing that. Poor Anna was the type to never hurt a fly. "I do miss my maid, though," she said. Anna was arguably the best female friend that she had, even if she was hired help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh," she said. Padme was probably right. Mary didn't wish to be a bad hostess. "Well, I enjoyed speaking with you and hopefully we will get to talk again soon." It was good to meet someone like Padme, someone who seemed to come from at least a somewhat similar background. Mary liked her and really did look forward to talking with her again in the future.

	After speaking with Padme, Mary made her way over to talk with Peggy. "I'm glad you came," she said with a smile. Peggy was English and from close to Mary's time, so perhaps she could appreciate afternoon tea. "Which tea did you try?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
