As the dreadful weather grows ever-glacial, the time for celebrating festivities becomes more excitable for esteemed subjects of New Providence. Given the conditions of the current time, it is seen fit for a Winter Masquerade to take place in the ballroom of Aster Hall. All residents are to come wearing their finest fur coats and warmer items of clothing due to bizarre, yet gratifying activities all are to experience at the ball.

Ball 

In the imperial palace of Aster Hall, attendees are to gather in the lower ballroom to celebrate the current festivities of New Providence. All are to wear their foremost attire matched with a warmer layer of clothing - though not too constricting as to not be able to dance. To accentuate the aura of the evening, an orchestra will be playing all the current and greatest music of the current times in a harmonizing manner.

 

Refreshments

The ball will be decked with an array of dazzling light dishes handed out to all on plates. Indulge yourself in the utterly delectable dishes such as roasted duck accompanied by jellies and custard stained with sandalwood and all different kinds of palatable flavouring. No expenses will be spared for this celebration!

 

Ice skating

During the night, all are permitted to put down their shoes and step into newly made skates. The workings of Aster Court have been busy preparing the ice and making sure safety measures are put in place to avoid any injuries.

The Imperial Governess began to work on her gown!

"Strange that she decides to be involved in couping her eldest son, yet whenever that fails she runs back into the arms of the Orenians." The Basridi woman scoffed as she read over the invitation before heading off to a meeting. "I suppose there is work to be done yet."

Empress Anastasya prays that the conversation between Lady Vasileia and the Minister of Foreign Affairs went well, and thereafter continues her search for a fine bottle of wine to share come the next meeting between herself and the Savoyard government.

Odessa scans over the document, a smile spreading across her lips. Pivoting in her chair, she props her feet up on the polished desk, and picks up her cigar from the nearby ashtray. After taking a long pull, she tilts her head back and blows the smoke skyward, coughing a few times. "Oh, how exciting. I hope there's wine."

 

The chamberlain snuffs out the cheroot, and adds the event to her calendar on the wall. "Damn, where'll I find a dress in such short time?" She tilted back on two legs of her chair, just too far, and ended up toppling backwards onto the wooden floor with a muted thud, and a disgruntled groan.

Luthriel was bored, "Ah at last.  Something to do.  And perhaps this shall be good practice for improving my coordination!" She read the missive more carefully. . . "Foremost attire . . . " All she currently had was a ratty toga. . . the Ferrymen had taken everything from her.

 

WAIT

 

Not everything!  She realized that she had left her Ratki skin mittens in the tavern at Ephesius.  She grinned, "Very good.  Very good.  Someday perhaps I will regain my full abilities and become the most lethal butcher of furry things on the earth. Until then . . . These mittens shall provide evidence of my past."  She slipped them on and smirked.
