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

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.

"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.
