hexarchate_rpg | 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?

[I was hoping she'd volunteer! Tell us about her party foodings! She could even enlist some other people to help in the kitchen, if anyone's interested, or I can scare up an NPC or two.]

[One that was never clear to me: any cultural food prohibitions in the Hexarchate?]

[Assume there are occasional local food customs/taboos but otherwise the hexarchate is really, really tolerant of all sorts of foodings. I mean, other than things like cannibalism probably being out because I just don't wanna.]

[Cripes, looks like everyone is ready to play and Im about to head to bed. Sorry, Yoon, the Mr. gets up for work at o'dark-thirty.]

[No worries--we'll be here in the morning. :p I do most of my game posts in the evening, but not everyone does, and we have people in different time zones anyway IIRC.]

[Yes hi it's me the morning person! I exist.]

[Deyna would be happy to help in the kitchen! She would much rather be helping out than awkwardly socializing.]

[Shess would also probably find cooking to be a better balance of comfortable and engaging than hanging around in a ballroom, but they might go out and spend a few minutes there sometimes, out of curiosity, with the pretext of bringing out food]

[A food idea, perhaps a reflection of something encountered in Shess' past (and not something I know to exist, but definitely baklava-inspired): mochi tarts with a filling of chopped nuts/seeds sweetened with honey and flavored with one of various floral flavorings like rosewater (for the Andan.), violet, honeysuckle, elderflower...]

[YOU ARE MAKING ME SO HUNGRY ^_^ ]
