Glitch was fidgety. Of course he was fidgety, he was meeting people and would be taking them to the O.Z. through a portal, and maybe he should be telling them some of this.

"Uhm, well, Sunday is when we'll be leaving." Oh, yes, this is where he'd be reaching towards his desk for some notes. "There will be a portal to take us to the O.Z., because really, I don't think travel storms would be the best way to travel for a group," or anyone, but that part went unspoken. "And the trip shouldn't last very long, really."

He looked around and smiled. "Do you have any questions?"

Karal made a small, polite noise, intended for getting attention. "I do have one, or two, rather. The first is: are there any special protocols we need to know to meet your Queen? And the second," he glanced down at himself - specifically, at his robes - briefly, "is my being a priest going to cause us trouble?"

Re: We <3 OCD dinner parties a_no_brainer February 23 2008, 01:22:27 UTC

"No special protocol. We'll be meeting her, and the rest of the royal family, soon after we arrive. She's not usually much for excessive formalities, but there shouldn't be a problem."

A beat, because, wasn't he a bit young to be a priest?

"And being a priest isn't a a cause for any trouble."

Re: We <3 OCD dinner parties vkandis_son February 23 2008, 01:28:10 UTC

If he breathed a sigh of relief, it was a very quiet one. Karal really hadn't wanted to hide what he was, and formal occasions, to him, meant formal robes. "That's good to know," he said with a smile. "Especially the last."

"I had a few important questions, too," Andrew chimed in. "Is it going to be warm there? Like shorts weather? Or should I be packing more sweaters and long pants? Oh, and do I need sunscreen? Bug spray? Toilet paper? Because I was reading how some places in like Europe don't really use traditional toilet paper..."

He had a lot more questions, but these were the ones he figured he really needed to know.

"It will be cold. The Northern Palace is in a frozen part of the Gillikus."

He blinked at the other questions. Slowly.

"Europe?"

Re: We <3 OCD dinner parties wannabe_pan February 23 2008, 01:51:23 UTC

"It's a continent with lots of smaller countries," he said. "They have funny plumbing." Because that should help clarify things.

Re: We <3 OCD dinner parties new_to_liirness February 23 2008, 01:57:27 UTC

"The Glikkus?" he interrupted, incredulous. "What in Oz were they thinking to build the Palace up there? It's up in the Northernmost reaches, in the mountains and past the canals!"

He shook his head.

"Why not leave it in the Emerald City? What's been done with the Wizard's Palace?"

Re: We <3 OCD dinner parties a_no_brainer February 23 2008, 02:12:24 UTC

"I think it started out as a strategic location. Because of all the ice."

No army in its right mind would march through all that ice willingly. Having had half a brain at the time was his excuse for doing it.

"The Wizard's Palace was converted into a museum, with some living spaces above it."

Re: We <3 OCD dinner parties new_to_liirness February 23 2008, 02:13:39 UTC

He almost laughed.

The People's Palace indeed! Glinda's question had certainly been answered.

"And Southstairs?"

Re: We <3 OCD dinner parties a_no_brainer February 23 2008, 02:17:39 UTC

Glitch visibly grimaced at the mention of Southstairs.

"It was blocked off, initially. Then, again, after Azkadellia's possession."

Oh, not a pleasant subject, that.

Re: We <3 OCD dinner parties new_to_liirness February 23 2008, 02:18:18 UTC

"I've been down there," he said darkly. "Not that it's any conversation for a dinner table."

Re: We <3 OCD dinner parties flowering_mind February 23 2008, 02:25:30 UTC

Ino glanced at him; wondering. She tilted her head slightly to the side though, figuring if he didn't want to talk about it then whatever, or something, and asked, "What about weapons? Are we allowed to bring them with us?"

Re: We <3 OCD dinner parties a_no_brainer February 23 2008, 02:32:57 UTC

That got an eyebrow.

"I suppose, but, it's generally frowned on to bring weapons when you go to see royalty. If you did, you'd have to leave them with the palace guards."

Re: We <3 OCD dinner parties flowering_mind February 23 2008, 02:40:37 UTC

She shrugged. Okay then. "I guess so. Sure. Never met royalty before," Ino said, "and Hokage-sama would never try to make us be unarmed in his presence. It kinda defeats the whole ninja-thing."

Re: We <3 OCD dinner parties new_to_liirness February 23 2008, 02:52:56 UTC

"I have a question," he said, looking around the table before focusing on Professor Ambrose.

"Where will we be staying?"
