Earl of Rochester Residence, Memory Lane, Friday (08/31)

Aug 31, 2007 12:31

At the very end of Memory Lane is an imposing white house, decked out with pennants, flowers, and lights. A pair of liveried men in white wigs are on hand at the front doors to check your invitation, but they seem to be under orders to allow everyone inside, invitation or not ( Read more... )

Grand Foyer - Arrive & Mingle lord_rochester August 31 2007, 16:35:39 UTC

The front doors (which are opened for you by two men in livery) lead into the grand foyer. A good place to gawk, ogle, and talk to your fellow guests.

The Master had not technically recieved an invitation.

However, he had a piece of paper that looked like an invitation to anyone who peered closely. And if anyone didn't remember inviting him?

Well then, he'd have a little talk with them in the hall. And then, just maybe?

They'd remember that they invited the Doctor all along.

Susan might shock those who knew her by showing up wearing a couple colors that were not black. Now that she was here, however, the incognito duchess was not altogether sure that acting on her curiousity was such a good thing. The sight of the house, the decorations, the men in livery all served to remind her just how insufferably boring she usually found gatherings like this...

"Quite an interesting style of dress," the Master commented.

DINING HALL - Dinner lord_rochester August 31 2007, 16:36:53 UTC

Enjoy a full multi-course formal dinner in the dining hall. Yes, that's a whole roast suckling pig next to the roast peacock with the feathers stuck back on.

[Note: This is a sit-down meal, feel free to mod the foods. They're all delicious.]

Re: DINING HALL - Dinner prodigalpawn September 1 2007, 01:44:37 UTC

Okay, the feathers stuck into the dead bird was, kinda creepy. It was hard to argue with the food in general though.

Mark sat down next to Conner and began the serious business of properly doing justice the first course.

"I never thought I'd see more food than thanksgiving dinner at my grandparents' house, but, here it is."

BALLROOM - Dancing lord_rochester August 31 2007, 16:38:04 UTC

Somehow, Rochester has managed to get his hands on some eighteenth century music played with an electronic beat, which is playing in the ballroom. Makes for pretty good dancing, actually.

Re: BALLROOM - Dancing ohgoddess September 1 2007, 04:05:54 UTC

Millie giggled a bit at the strange music, but danced one of her temple dances quietly off to the side.

Re: BALLROOM - Dancing strongestgirl September 1 2007, 05:55:33 UTC

Pippi kinda thought the music was rather catchy and did one of the island dances the young ladies of Kurrakurradutt did in the evening during festivals.

SALON - Cards lord_rochester August 31 2007, 16:39:01 UTC

Sit down in the salon and join in, Rochester won't gloat too much when he wins all your money.

[Note: Rochester is playing Faro, but you're welcome to put together a table to play any kind of card game you like. Cheating is fine, getting caught is frowned upon.]

Re: SALON - Cards givemethehunt August 31 2007, 18:13:22 UTC

Dean spotted the cards in the salon right off the bat, he did. He grinned and rubbed his hands together.

"I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here," he muttered, then grabbed a seat to see who he could hustle some cash from.

Re: SALON - Cards angelsangle August 31 2007, 23:10:05 UTC

"Somehow I'm not surprise," Nick said from behind Dean.

Re: SALON - Cards givemethehunt August 31 2007, 23:16:31 UTC

Dean turned to shrug at Angel. "Friendly game of cards, sir?"

GARDEN lord_rochester August 31 2007, 16:39:55 UTC

Step outside into the garden courtyard for a little solitude, or a quiet tete-a-tete.

Re: GARDEN prodigalpawn September 1 2007, 01:45:23 UTC

Connor decided to duck outside to do a bit of lurking and brooding.

Re: GARDEN iamahellsing September 1 2007, 01:47:43 UTC

Integral stood outside smoking a cigarillo trying to absorb what she had been told about the time frame earlier. It still sounded like utter nonsense to her.

Re: GARDEN innerbabysitter September 1 2007, 02:18:50 UTC

Probably yet another anachronism was not what Integral needed but there was Susan ducking out of the house for some fresh air. Noticing the young woman, she gave a slight nod of her head.
