Truth or Dare: The Imperial Court
WHO: Select Orlesian and Fereldan Nobility and the Inquisition
WHAT: Josephine and Vivienne have orchestrated a good-will soiree in response to this dastardly rumor.
WHEN: Drakonis 15, Evening
WHERE: Skyhold Great Hall
NOTES:
- A list of nobles in attendance can be found here. The list was provided by the mods but there will be no npc support for them. Play away.
- A secondary outside party is being held in the valley in the tent town for anyone who couldn't/wouldn't attend and/or behave in the fancy pansty party.
- The goal of the evening is to clear up a spurious rumor about Cassandra and Leliana, with secondary goals of establishing the Inquisition as a respectable presence in Thedas (and fish for more money). Any major disruptions that would Game Over the court approval should probably be brought to the advisors and/or mods.
To say that Josphine has far outdone herself with this little soiree would be the understatement of the year. The Lady Ambassador has pulled out all the stops in providing a festive and yet elegant stage for this political intervention. Because sometimes gossip can be more deadly than a sword.
The Great Hall of Skyhold has been converted into a grand receiving hall, glittering with hundreds of lights around the room, in addition to the repairs accomplished to the original chandeliers. Of course, there has been artful placement arranged so there are a few shadowy corners for rendezvous of the more suggestive nature. Just in case. The majority of the floor has been cleared for dancing, and a fine troupe of musicians have been installed for the bulk of the evening's entertainments. Some members of the Inquisition have plans to entice attendees with their own artistic performances in addition to the group of mages performing illusory tricks to oohs and aahs.
For those who feel their energy flagging, there are chairs set against the walls, with a few tables interspersed between. Servers hired for the evening circulate the crowds with wine, fine Orlesian and Nevarran reds as well as crisp whites from Antiva. Refreshments are set out on buffet tables, tasteful and extravagant nibbles, including imported cheeses, spicy saucisson, dried fruits and nuts, and the highly sought after deep mushroom and anise petits fours that are all the rage in Orlais.

no subject
Dorian arranges a clasp of her hand at his elbow and his hand over her knuckles, leading her out onto the dance floor proper. "Good to know, for I have every intention of showing you off." And from there, he positions them correctly, his hand an appropriate weight on his waist and his other hand holding hers, as if to allow it to perch there. "And myself, naturally."
no subject
"Yes. Fate has been teaching me." She purposely left out the 'twisted'. It was bothering her, lately. Fate, she could deal with. The Twisted part... That was cause for concern.
She allows herself to be led, and then takes her position - a little wary, perhaps, but more because of the crowd than the occupation.
"Showing me off? I doubt anyone could even see me, next to you." Yes she might be teasing, but it's very flat.
no subject
And without much more in the way of preamble, Dorian draws her into the first step. He's only almost as commanding as he was in Nevarra, allowing Nerva, this time, to dance as she has practiced as opposed to simply dragging her along in his wake. As they turn, skirts float, robe and dress both.
As much as he might, at certain points of the evening, bitch about Orlesians, sigh over the state of the Inquisition's apparent financial needs, complain that they ought to be focusing on more murder than masquerading, he does enjoy dancing. And tiny cakes.
"Out of range of the eye-watering radiance of my handsome self, however," he says, as they dance, "I've no doubt you'll have your fair share of admirers."
no subject
She is quite a bit more accustomed, to the dance, though Dorian leads a little more fantastically than she would like, it somehow suits him.
"Admirers." She repeats a little disbelievingly. She had never really had those. Sexual partners, yes, but - she had a tendency to frighten off admirers. "Should I be concerned? Did I bring too few knives?"
