Chapter 3.1: The party begins

EDIT: The base is sited in the year 951, in a very odd timeline that has NO h*archate. Supplies have to be brought in via rift from other timelines. Thread here.

Ashari's new base features variable layout, which has been put to use in creating an extravagant ballroom. Tables to one side boast a variety of foods, drinks both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, and the occasional euphoric drugs. Candlevines glow blue and violet, and flower arrangements interspersed with fantastic sculptures of lace-woven wire adorn the tables. The arrangements mean various sarcastic things, if you're familiar with the Andan petal language.

Music plays softly enough not to overwhelm conversation, loudly enough to set a mood complementing the low-key lighting.

Remi is one of the first arrivals from the Cantata, shepherding the mothlings. Because he's a Nirai, he has a slate and is taking notes, although he is happy enough to talk to anyone who approaches him.

The kitchen is currently adjacent to the ballroom. Ashari's voice can be heard, raised in some kind of argument with...a caterer?

Eddox smiles as if suppressing a laugh. “Oh, they found me most impressive.” They cross one arm across their chest, their hand holding the other elbow as they lift a hand to their mouth to hide their growing grin. The colors on their chest jump like soundwaves in bands of crimson and coral.

“I shouldn’t be telling you this, but I caused a minor diplomatic incident to solve a major one.” They shake their head and then step closer, one hand on Sulen’s arm as they lean in (needlessly and for effect) to whisper into their ear: “Well I didn’t know it at the time, but I became involved with what equates to more or less their equivalent of a prince. He was trying to dissolve their government and stage a coup and well, I accidentally distracted him and he failed.”

They lean back, speaking at normal volume now. “I had no idea! I was there to embezzle money—I mean officially I was there as an ambassador and xenolinguist but—“ They pause and wave the words away with their hand. “Anyway I was going to embezzle from his family but in the end he just gave it to me.” They laugh as if they just told a good joke.
