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?

Food deliveries and drinks (catch-up)

Things should settle down soon, though.][also I too am new to this form of play by post (my experience, years ago, was mostly single-threaded forum threads), so... I'm saying this post is a wee bit back in time from progression of the thread below (otherwise things won't make sense)...]
...
Shess had printed a cheerfully striped apron to put on over their (only moderately fancy) nice party clothes before coming down to the kitchen. And they had meant to remove it before going out, but when someone hands one an additional plate of food to carry, that's not the time and situation to go removing an apron. (Also, they're not sure how Deyna feels about finery given her apparel, and it might then not be polite to call attention to their clothes.)
"Sure," they say to Deyna, not too loud, balancing the plate and skewer display carefully. "And you're welcome. Is there anything in particular you'd like?" And Shess elaborates, a bit awkwardly, "To drink, I mean. Though I don't know what they have."
