Fear and Loathing in Olympia: A Brave New Year 01/01/2009
Fear and Loathing in Olympia: A Brave New Year 01/01/2009
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And days of old long past.
---Auld Lang Syne
It was the first evening of a new year and the triumphant Prince Vasili Rostov held a bold celebration.
Olympia is known across the region as a place one can truly have a good time. A number of the movers and shakers of the region made an appearance, such as:
• Imperator John Nelson
• Consul Olivia Nova
• Prince Graham Wellington
• Republic Harpy Claire Marie
• Primarch Nathanial Green
• Primarch Rhodes (in a rare and surprising appearance)
• Republic Priscus Levka "Disdain" Alexinova
• Republic Priscus Heather Morrissey
• Sheriff Acrimony of the New Flesh
• Alder Ivan Rostov
A good party is like sailing. There are tides and ebbs to navigate as collections of conversations coalesce and dissipate. There was a great deal of laughter and celebrations.
I had a most unusual experience. A large number of vampires that I had previously only had the most casual acquaintance wanted to shake my hand or in a few cases hug me. I'm not quite used to such displays of affection, but I can only assume that it was the spirit of the new year.
Captain Silver seemed to have quite the audience for his stories.
Levity attracted quite a few admiring looks.
Levka "Disdain" Alexinova has collected quite a few titles in the last couple of months. Monster that Other Monsters Fear. Pope of the Lance. And now, a new one. By general acclaim, Levka "Disdain" Alexinova was proclaimed the fashionista of the party. His first pronouncement was that the dreaded flame boots of Sir Liam O'Daherty simply had to go.
Prince Vasili seemed quite smitten by Republic's Harpy Claire Marie.
Sir Liam recovered from his fashion faux pas and defended the honor of several ladies of great standing from the attentions of a lout.
I am choosing to avoid naming said lout at this time. I understand that he is new and perhaps doesn't understand that it is expected that visitors to the Nelson Imperium are expected to understand how to behave in public towards members of high standing. After all, this isn't Seattle. More than one lady of standing complained to me about your behavior. Know that your behavior has caught the attention of the harpies.
Zeal seemed to attract a lot of admirers. Sadly, he did not get his Christmas wish. But alas, perhaps next week. I did note that many of the ladies of the court seemed quite interested in his social calendar. Perhaps Zeal should acquire an assistant.
Lady Morrissey divided her time between her covenant and the other guests. It isn't often that you can find someone that can deftly switch from group to group and show respect to everyone. She is well liked and respected. I simply can't wait to see her new musical.
Mr. Wilkins, Olympia Priscus Harpy, was very busy. It is nice to see the social waters flow so freely.
Like any good party, there were unwanted party crashers. It seems that some miscreant has stolen the crown of the triumphant Prince Vasili. Somehow, the werewolves have captured said crown and were attempting to hold it for ransom. Solice, the head of the Olympia Militia, lead an investigation into this theft and I'm certain the crown will be recovered soon.
In a completely unrelated matter, the triumphant Prince Vasili Rostov has declared open hunting season on the lupines with a special prize to those who bring the hides of said lupines to the Prince.
Rising Stars:
Levity has definitely made the scene and made quite the impression. She was seen rubbing elbows with the mighty and the important.
Feared:
Levka "Disdain" Alexinova, Lord of the Fashionistas, has shown that there things that are worse than an arrow to the chest. It is one thing to kill. It is another thing to be on the Worst Dressed List.
Loathed:
I shall leave this section empty for now in the spirit of the hope for the New Year.
