hexarchate_rpgEDIT: 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?

Re: hair and make up - paging Reshad
Date: 2020-01-10 10:47 pm (UTC)Seyli drops down in the chair to make it easier for Reshad to help. "I ah, enjoy very bright things, when I'm not dressed for work." The very bright things include a pair of flats in the same iridescence as their dress. They eyelids shimmer with gold makeup and dark black liner, done up in cat eyes. All together, it might be tacky, but it's certainly striking. It might be making up for all the time not spent dressing up in their original timeline.

She transfers the partial braid to one hand, produces a foldable mirror in a carved frame with the other, and hands it off for admiration.

Date: 2020-01-13 09:06 pm (UTC)She moves to avoid the eye of the mirror, weaving the rest of the hair away from their undercut, then bending close to examine the last few strands. When that's done, finishing the braid is a quick few movements.
"I think that'll do nicely." She exhibits the ties: a simple black one in deference to Kel tastes, a few colorful ones, a fanciful lace one she'd chosen just to see the reaction to it. When Seyli selects one, she attaches it, and lays the braid down on the nape of their neck.
