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.

"It was a surprise to many, including the two Jedi that were along for my protection. The look on Master Jinn's face when he realised I was the Queen." Padmé trailed off, and laughed a bit. "Those were easier times. But I do miss my maids. They were my closest friends. So often we end up holding our emotions deep inside of us, with no one to turn to. But we can turn to them, and I did."

Hearing that made Mary feel a little bit less pathetic. She smiled. "Anna is probably my closest friend as well. I suppose that's what happens when you have a person help you get dressed every day."

Not having her was something that she'd had to get used to here. Fortunately most of the dresses, even the ones starting to come into fashion in her time, were easier to get into than before. Not having to wear a corset helped as well.

"It definitely is," Padme agreed, nodding her head. Her every day casual outfits required less dressing than when she was queen, but everything she wore on the Senate floor required enough work that when she traveled 'alone' she still brought along C-3PO to help her.

She looked across the table at some of the other guests that were filtering in, and gave Mary a sheepish smile. "I should probably let you see to your other guests."

	"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.
