[IC - Mehitabel Test Drive]

[keepingtabs]

[You've received an invitation to an elegant soiree, and when you arrive you find yourself dressed in fine clothes that look like what you'd wear to a grand performance at a theatre. Chamber music echoes around the venue--a grand ballroom, with candles and floating, glowing orbs glittering about to give the scene a golden glow. There's a woman nearby dressed like so who is giving you a friendly smile, especially if you look like a fish out of water. Perhaps you can talk to her to gain some footing? Or just find out what the event is for.]

[He takes it, surprised, looking around to see if he can spot anyone who might be the mysterious Lady Parr.]

[she smiles at him when he looks up, and if he's been paying attention, he'll have heard some people mention her in conversation--chiefly as the star actress of a local theatre troupe]

[secretbirden]

[well, now. he's not quite sure what he did to merit such attention from the lady of the hour, but far be it for him to tarnish a beautiful lady's heart by turning down her gift.

he raises the glass to her in a little toast before taking a small sip, before navigating his way through the crowd toward her.]

[keepingtabs]

[she returns the toast, and looks pleased when he approaches]

Enjoying yourself, I hope.

[secretbirden]

More than I was before, mon amie.

[keepingtabs]

[that's a phrase she isn't familiar with--but she can get the gist of it]

And what sort of business brings you here, darling? Surely it's not just to earn free drinks from intrigued strangers.

[secretbirden]

Just taking in the local culture. Though being graced with a chance to meet a lady as beautiful as you is more than enough for me.

[keepingtabs]

There is quite a lot to take in, though I hope I haven't worn you out already.

[secretbirden]

Not at all, mon ami. I would endure anything in order to bask in your presence.
