Open: Party Preparations

[madame_de_fer]

WHO: Josephine, Vivienne, OPEN
WHAT: Preparing the Inquisition for the Soiree
WHEN: 15 Guardian to 14 Drakonis (about a month's span before the event)
WHERE: Skyhold, varies
NOTES: * Josephine is the hostess of the shindig. Matters regarding invitations, guest lists, admittance, entertainment, food, or general complaints/suggestions should be directed to her.
* Vivienne has personally invited three tailors from Val Royeaux to assist with clothes making for the attendees. She is available to assist with design selections and/or advice on how to behave.
* YOU are open and invited to grab your nearest and dearest CR to complain about the party, ask for a date to he event, complain you have nothing to wear.
* Belinda Darrow has donated from her own private purse to the cost of clothing which people could otherwise not afford.

The Orlesian tailors arrived in great state, bringing with them a cadre of servants, workers, and snotty attitudes. They hate everything. It is cold in Skyhold. It is damp. Everything smells of wet dog. The working conditions are abysmal. The food is criminal. There's not a damned thing they don't complain about, except for the piles of coin they stand to make from this soiree. Yes, they are more than content to build a fortune with exclusive work that will be seen by some of the aristocracy's finest.

Harritt apparently doesn't much like them either. They've taken over his Undercroft with their fabrics and threads, designs and opinions. Oh they have opinions. He stays to one corner, attending his work, and grumbling under his breath about the poncy cheesesniffers.

Comments

"Or not at all, ever. This would be the first time I've done something like this were I wasn't working security, and even that was very rare." Jobs involving nobles and their gatherings were the least enjoyable ones to Korrin, so she left them for those in the company with a higher tolerance for the Game. Fighting dragons or giants is so much easier, by comparison.

"I'm a little surprised Vivienne insisted on my attending. A 'savage qunari' seems more a liability than an asset at such affairs. But I won't be the one to bring this down, if I can help it."

"Ah, so she spoke with you personally regarding your attendance, did she? I can see why she would want you there. Madame de Fer is not the type of woman to let race or magic get in the way of political gain." She stops herself short before she says anything further. She has her own opinions of Vivienne, certainly, but as another player of the Game, Josephine decides to keep her thoughts to herself.

Especially when talking to someone like Korrin, who has little interest in politicking.
