07.07a: The Refreshment tables

Post by Sadie »

Continued from the Underwater Ball

Sadie's face turns a brighter shade of red as she tries to contain a giggle first time Solten shakes a ladies hand. Priscilla with a slight smile will drag him to the side and demonstrate proper gentlemen to lady etiquette greeting for him as soon as she can disentangle him.

Priscilla: "Solten, dance with me a bit... I need to give you some pointers I think."

Sadie overhearing this glares jokingly: "You're lucky I'm not sure about dancing myself, the first dance with Solten should be mine."

Priscilla: "My lady?" Almost looking like she did really bad.

Sadie: "I'm joking, don't turn all serious on me now, have fun, I'll... Eat this very strange yet yummy smelling thing here." Turns to random NPC. "Excuse me sir, I do not believe I've had the pleasure of enjoying this hors d'oeuvre before. Could you perchance tell me what it is?"*

Priscilla does her best to not display her amusement at Sadie obviously trying very hard to sound elegant and dignified while talking to the gentleman.


* This is Sadie's attempt at starting a conversation with a random non staff NPC. Sort of an attempt at a more sophisticated scene appropriate form of a "some weather we're having?" type conversation starter.

A relatively ... fish-like patron answers Sadie. "Hello, most of these are fish based. That particular one is a winter-furred salmon paste over a rock-seared seaweed crisp." He offers a hand. "I am Farusi, one of the fishers who supply food for the city."

Sadie extends her hand in the appropriate ladylike manner. "I am Sadie." She seems hesitate a second (to consider whether she should add who she is, then upon reflecting and realizing she still is not sure who she is thanks to Dworkin's well Dworkiness decides to omit what she does not know) and a strange number of expressions of thought seem to flicker in that brief moment. "I hope you don't mind my asking, but how is your business far..." Her eyes dart to Darnell as he enters with his ensemble and she can't help but stare for a few seconds jaw slightly ajar. "...ing"

"I wouldn't stare too much. You don't want him to actually take offense. Not sure if he does it on purpose, but I'm positive those are not traditional outfits for his people." Farusi shrugs, "Amberites do what they will. Anyhow, in regards to your question, my trade is good. We have to be a little careful to not overfish, but there's an infinite number of oceans nearby. The hard part is identifying everything. Sometimes the same looking fish is very different from one ocean to the next."

"I would expect as much... must be difficult, I imagine a fish could be poisonous like a puffer in one ocean, a pleasure to eat in another ocean, and worse yet, both at the same time in a third... Sounds complicated and potentially dangerous. If you'll excuse me though I should welcome Darnell. Besides it might keep him from noticing my aide who seems to be broken on the dance floor. Though anyone with an outfit like that is trying to be noticed. I do apologize for leaving so abruptly my good sir."

With that she takes his leave and tries to figure out how one would wave him over and grab his attention in a noble fashion, gives up, waves him over the normal way and calls his name while moving to meet him half way.

Darnell (who does manage to look sexy in the outfit, if horribly out of place) will head over. "Hello again Sadie... I have a few ideas for your challenge, but I must apologize for not having it tonight." He bows, giving more the impression of a pirate captain than someone at a formal ball.

"A pleasure to see you again Darnell. I do, however, believe you broke my brand new and shiny personal aide. I may need compensation if she is truly beyond repair." She clearly jokes with a mock look of being upset. "I find your outfit... interesting. I'm not one who normally attends such functions, but based upon Priscilla's reaction, I'm guessing yours is a bit out of place. It also seems my aide has stolen my escort, would you be so kind as to teach me a few moves. I must admit wholly lacking in dancing experience, and I do mean wholly."

"Of course, and yes, the true limits of fashion are double-edged indeed." He bows and takes your hand. "I apologize, but in all of my dance training, it is the man who leads. I'm sure you will pick it up."

Over to Dance Group 2.

(OOC: So, I'm going to leave this thread open for anyone who is hanging out at the refreshments. Farusi will still be here.)

As Nuall nears the refreshment table Sadie twirls off Dance Floor 2, stopping right in front of him. "I'm not just a dog, but a dog that can dance!" She exclaims playfully to Nuall. "Did you know I'm going to be high court? Dworken has said as much, but not what card or position I am. Am taking bets. What's your guess?" Tail is wagging really enthusiastically at seeing a friend, and with a broad smile is completely forgetting her decorum in her excitement. Nuall may notice that she no longer appears to be scarred or missing an eye she also seems to have a strange glow about her. Is definitely an improvement over the last time he had meaningful contact with her in that shadow with the dragon.
