[Just because there's no ball at the moment doesn't mean the Viridian Pavilion isn't in use: Laura has raided the nearby (and conveniently abandoned) Baby the Stars Shine Bright boutique and is currently dressed in her princessly best (if a little baggily; the dresses are not made for children) and has assembled a cat, a turtwig, and an oddish (

[It's fairly obvious Gabrielle is amused about this.] What kind of tea are you serving?

[runawayalot]

[Her head whips around in surprise. Her eyes narrow at the mirror.] Who wants to know?

[aureation]

Well- [She looks around, then crosses her arms.] -me, obviously.

[runawayalot]

[This is, apparently, a good enough answer. She settles back and takes a sip.] It's red.

[Red is totally a flavor.]

[now that she's found her jewel, she's been carrying it around with her, for lack of knowing what to do with it. It's big enough that it doesn't fit well in any pocket, so she cradles in it both hands, holding it close to her chest.]

[now she's wandering, looking for people who haven't figured out the puzzle yet. And she comes across a strange scene. She stops, watching for a moment, unsure of what to make of it.]

Um...hello?

[runawayalot]

[Hooded person. A few years older than her. But she sounds uncertain. Laura isn't totally sure what to make of this intruder. She settles on neutrally snide.]

Yeah, what?

[mnementomori]

I was just curious...what are you doing?

[animals in clothes: actually not that strange to her. But the tea party setup seems familiar...she just can't place it. Call her curious.]

[runawayalot]

Haven't you ever seen a tea party before? [GAWD hooded girl you are SO DUMB for not knowing this]

[swarmoflies]

[Have a filthy, bad-mannered party crasher who si looking the whole thing over with a distateful eye.]

Oy, what's all this, then?

[runawayalot]

Are you blind or somethin'? It's a tea party.

[swarmoflies]

It's stupid is what it is. What're you dressing up animals like they're people for.

[runawayalot]

Is not! I bet you're just jealous because you can't find any nice clothes.

Hello, Laura. [Epsilon walks toward her, with a smile.]

This looks like fun. It's been a while since I've been to a tea party. Would you mind if I joined you?

Re: [action]

[runawayalot]

[She makes a show of hesitating.] ...I guess you can. But you gotta dress up first. It's the rule.

[action]

[lovelikelight]

Of course. If that's the rule, I'll have to follow it. Where did you find your clothes?

That's a lovely dress.

[runawayalot]

There's a place with them this way. [She hops up and takes Epsilon's hand, tugging her in the direction of the Baby boutique] C'mon!

[Alfimi approaches.] What is this? Some sort of ceremony?

Re: Action;

[runawayalot]

[What is with all these dumb kids that don't know a tea party?] Who wants to know?

[alchemistsquery]

I am the one. My name is Alfimi.

...I seem to have some memory of this, now that I think. It is something children do?

Re: Action;

[runawayalot]

[OK, you're weird.]

Maybe. Why d'you wanna know?
