open | your baddest behavior

[cozen]

WHO: Alexandrie, Bastien, Byerly, and their captive audience
WHAT: Mandatory etiquette and dance lessons
WHEN: Justinian 15, 9:45
WHERE: The Gallows
NOTES: See the OOC post and IC announcement for more information! If you didn't sign up, you can still participate in Parts A and D, and just handwave the other two, without needing to sign up or get an assignment. If you want to do B and C, you can find your own dance partner/seating group OOC, or you can sign up now and we'll dole out new assignments if we get enough latecomers to do so. If you signed up and are missing from the lists when you shouldn't be, I'm sorry and please tell me!

Bastien purses his lips into a smile of good-humored, mildly embarrassed disapproval—he remembers, it was fantastic. Byerly is serving his purpose, and Bastien's own purpose is to disapprove, this very small amount.

"Mssr. Rutyer is here to be a bad example," he says, "which you can follow if you like. If it is expedient." He gestures to him, open-handed, like a piece of art on display. "At the moment, for example, he is the only one drinking. In most situations, as a guest, if you are not confident that you know what is expected of you, you can cheat by avoiding being the only person who is doing any particular thing, or wearing any particular thing, or not wearing any particular thing."

Like shoes. Dalish.
