Ellsworth-Biggs Wedding

Join us at a black tie wedding to celebrate the marriage of notable socialite Verity Biggs, daughter of Senator Biggs, and Solomon Ellsworth (the third). Note your (and your NPC date, if you wish) attire in promenade. Take your seats after that incredibly moving ceremony, enjoy your dinner at one of the tables set up in the immaculately decorated ballroom-1. At some point, the cake will be wheeled out, cut, and then the party can finally begin, either in threads off ballroom-1 or the main chaos in hotel-alsace.

Private conversations that are happening outside of the main party and NOT seen by everyone happened in threads off private-alcove.

Our attendees show off in #promenade and leave any gifts at the gift table

The pre-dinner cocktail mingling in #hotel-alsace has a number of interactions – **Moira Faust** returns from speaking with **Councilman Theo** and **Medea Belmont** at Table 1 to be intercepted by **Harvey Brandt**, until he puts his foot in his mouth. **Alexandre Rocher**  makes an entrance with more presence than usual and watches the affair before he eventually moves to his seat at Table 3 with **Nellie Fox**. **Alastor Fletcher** arrives in the main room, speaks to the happy couple, and looks for the reason he’s here.

At Dinner Table 1, Medea spars with Theo over political games, to Theo’s polite exasperation, and Moira stops by to request a dance.

At Dinner Table 3, Alex gets a touch protective of Nellie when Ray Greco is his usual, uncharming self. Harvey interrupts the heartwarming potential for violence with grace and tact.

Timeline Checkpoint: At this point, food is available to any who want it. Alastor chats with Moira for a bit about **Mortimer’s** *date*. **Aldric Simons** gets roped into a conversation with a client, one **Robert Whitworth, Esq.**  and followed by his shadow reporter, **Bernie Dawson**. Robert has a wardrobe mishap courtesy of **Boris**. Nellie is spotted in a free moment by **Dr. Brizer**, who jumps at the opportunity to speak with her in a quiet conversation.

At Dinner Table 2, Moira and **Peter** send seeds of chaos over the wedding guests as Peter encourages Misfortune to release some feelings. They’re joined by **Eimear McKenna**, her niece and bridesmaid by the name of **Cora McKenna**, and her escorting groomsman, Mortimer Tod. The tension is escalated with the arrival of Theo to ask Moira to dance and her subsequent return (in the first dance of Dance 1). Peter departs to spike the drinks at the bar. **Shep** returns to the table to flirt with his date just as Cora and Mortimer prepare to depart for a dance.

After, Moira finds Theo at Table 1 so that he doesn't need to be unarmed any longer and they slip away to the Coat Closet, followed by Mortimer. Jealousy and godly wrath compete, with no one leaving happy, but everyone leaving in one piece. Tyche offers Theo one of the rarest gifts she can in addition to her knife, one that Prometheus is the only other known recipient of.

**Celandine** finds Nellie at the punch bowl and offers her assistance to avoid her churlish date.

Peter, Boris, and **Cyril** chat at the bar, joined later by Moira and Eimear.

**Nina Draper**, the bride’s seamstress, finds Mortimer at the bar, needling him before they have a surprisingly heartfelt chat.

Aldric sits at Moira's table to catch up with his out-of-sorts niece.

Shep dances with **Julian de León** in the first dance of Dance 2.

Peter dances the first dance of Dance 3 with Eimear, sending any number of hearts racing.

Medea begins to heed the calls of the night and indulge in her favorite pastimes, finishing up some business, beginning before and continuing past Peter and Moira’s dance.

Timeline Checkpoint: Sometime in the evening, Moira and Peter dance together and encourage all persons in the vicinity to let go of their restraint, enjoy the heady relief of abandoning all to reckless chance in the second dance of the thread.

Moira finds Mortimer for their dance immediately after finishing with Peter, after which they leave for Moira's Hotel Room, where things go horribly skewed, resulting in Mortimer leaving and Moira canceling their breakfast, mailing back the red dress and his apartment key before departing.

Anthony finds the reason he's here and administers a cw-laced lesson.
