[The South Wing is bustling with activity today. Not that the sounds of one Akuma devouring another weren't always present. Or the quiet squeaking of a rocking chair wasn't audible when one or another fat man wasn't trying to knit. No, today was a special day. It had been a long time since the family had gotten together.
There is one large dinning table in the middle of the room with dishes, silverware and glasses already laid out. Food is buffet style in tables farther away because it would be quite cumbersome to ask to pass the salt from one end of the table to the other. The Earl himself is seated at the front of the table stirring his tea with a spoon. He's keeping an eye on you new arrivals. It had been far too long since he took inventory of his Noah. Road had given him the paperwork from her census, and he had it stacked neatly next to him.
One table in the back is decorated with candles, Road's favorite. Spiraled in dark purples, pinks, blues and white, the wax drips onto the table. However, it never seems to touch the
cards placed in neat, little rows. One might spy a card with their name. And even though you might share a name with someone else, you know that one is yours.
Akuma servants are bustling around the room. Catch one's attention if you find the menu lacking something.
[ooc: BALLROOM STYLE, everyone. Enjoy.
