  Oh, a tea party! Of course, Talna had tea parties at least once a year with her daughters, so she could show them how to be proper young ladies and perfect wives when a man chose them! But, a tea party with friends was different – it was fun! A calm, sweet old fashioned time to sit around and gossip about how wonderful their husbands were, the children they had – if any of the ladies had children – and about the whores in town who deserved to be knocked down a peg, but all of the complaining women would be too docile and utterly perfect to do that job. So then came the betting on which whore would take down the big whore and so on and so forth! ...Oh, wait, no, that was poker night back in the city. My, she hadn't been in that city for two years and yet she still had a habit of mixing up tea parties and poker nights! Oh, well, it was the same concept – but, this was much more fancy than poker! It was prettier and the woman didn't feel out of place one bit as she strolled down the garden in search of the group she was meeting. Ah~ The smell of flowers, the feel of wearing her Sunday best, and seeing a group of fellow proper ladies sitting down to a pretty table was enough to have her aglow!
Coming in just a few moments after Talna Hipp was Romane Bissette, who didn't wear a pretty dress or heels or even a smidgen of make up to rosy up her cheeks – no, she came in uniform, because that was the most formal of things she owned. She did have a pair of black gloves on and a hat, but that was really what she wore just about every day, gloves excluded. She wasn't sure why she was invited to this tea party, but she didn't really mind it as it gave her a chance at getting to know the public better. She may even make a second friend this way – ah. She frowned. Females. Every one of them were women.. Dresses, brushed hair, perfumed enchantresses, which made them all maybe a level above 'whores'. Yep, Romane wasn't sure if she would 'enjoy' this.. Especially if she remembered the last time she went out with a couple of female friends. Well. At least it wasn't a bar. Talna and Romane both had scanned the women there at once, little facts going through their minds as they remembered their ages, status, and full names right off the bat. Oh, to be bestowed with photographic memories like that!
But, unlike Romane who hadn't said a word and simply stood where she was, Talna had went on to approach Gladice happily, always the social butterfly! “Mah! Gladice! Yer lookin' good in that there dress. Happy ta be invited ta this here get tagether.” She stopped and turned to look at Judith and Alanis, “Judith an' Alanis, am I right? I love ya'll's hats – and Mei!” She swerved around to smile brightly at the Chinese woman, “Miss Li – it's a pleasure ta meet ya! Same wit' yer friend here; Miss Vanni. Glad ta know ya aren't holed up in that mansion of yers! An' what're ya hidin' out fer, Miss Bissette? Come on o'er here – feels like we met before! Ain't that the silliest thing?” She chuckled before going on to take a seat at the table, having said her greetings to everyone there like she oughta!

 Amanda • Hope • O'Conner ♥ It had been two years she had been away from the Island and being back for only a few day Amanda was already invited to a Tea Party for the ladies in town. Trying to contain her excitement as well as the jitters she smoothed her dress for possibly the tenth time and adjusted the brim of her hat - again. Walking smoothly in her black wedges down the walkway to the garden Amanda admired the beautiful flowers. Hearing women talking nearby she straightened her dress one final time and put a cheerful smile upon her face. Admiring the nicely set table and many of the women's dresses she hoped that she was appropriately dressed for the occasion. Mustering her courage Amanda walked closer and greeted the women standing about. "Hello there, everything looks so lovely! Thank you so much for the invitation, I'm Amanda O'Conner."

-Eleanor Vatonage, Rachel Fate, & Julia Beaumont-
A tea party, now wasn't that just lovely? Eleanor had perked at the idea of something like that. Sure it may have to do with the fact she rarely went out but, that didn't really matter now did it? She was invited and she was here, that was all that matter. Deep in her closet Ellie managed to find a matching white hat for her dress, now the white gloves were a miracle to find... actually those were Blaire's but they worked. The white haired woman walked along the path, scanning the flowers surrounding the area before reaching the group. It all seemed so delicate. "Hello. Gladice, Alanis, Judith" greeted the young woman as she stopped. Well they were family... "Thank you for the invitation" Ellie added before offering a smile to the bunch, and everyone else there.
Rachel would say she found a tea party cute, but it wouldn't be her ideal setting. However, she left Julian with his father and Romane was invited as well... thus providing a logical reason to be here. She wasn't dressed as fancy as one would've liked, but it was as close as she could get. Hey! She managed to find a small grey hat tucked in her closet and those standard black gloves to go with her outfit... somewhat. "Hey there everyone" greeted the sheriff with a smile, before moving closer to Romane and smiled once more.
Julia was almost as excited as Mei was to the invitation. Not on the verge of framing the paper, but close enough. She came to the grounds with a wide smile, loving the aspect of it and pleased to see so many ladies there already. Ah Alanis was there as well. And... she didn't know anybody else... more proof that she needed to leave the books for a bit. At least she looked all right, in her little dress and hat and gloves. It didn't matter if something was to be changed later, she at least wanted to look presentable. "Good morning" chimed the librarian with a smile. "My name is Julia Beaumont, it's a pleasure to meet all of you. Thank you for the invitation."

♥ • • Celeste xoxooxoxo ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
Celeste... was going to be late. She looked at the time on her iPod and sighed. Well, maybe not late, but she was going to cut it close. She knew she should have left earlier. She was getting to comfortable on the island and was forgetting that she had explored everywhere yet and so could still get lost. And get lost she had. Multiple times in fact. Why did she even try to use a map when the things always turned out to be written in some form of hyrogliphics that she couldn't decifer. Really, she could balance all the accounts in the business and she couldn't read a map. Was that considered justice?
Celeste smiled at her random thoughts and automatically thought of Gemma. Gemma would also be here today and Celeste couldn't help the laugh at the memory of their conversation just the day before. She really hoped Gemma showed up in more than just gloves and a hat. Celeste was pretty sure she had talked the woman out of going naked... but with Gemma, well there was no such thing as a sure thing. She brushed non exsistant wrinkles out of her dark blue spring dress. It was covered in little white flowers that went well with her white gloves andwhite hat. The hat had a matching dark blue sash. All in all Celeste liked the look.
Still smiling Celeste finally walked into the garden, the smile growing at how beautiful everything was. She walked over to the group smiling polietly and waiting for a lull in the conversation before introducing herself. "Hello everyone, I'm Celeste." She then turned her attention to Gladice. "Thank you for the invitation. Everything looks amazing." She said happily, before turning to Amanda to give her a friendly, excited little wave. She was happy to see her back on the island.

Zemblanity Insomnia Spring 1st - Year 5! Look at them all! All those pretty people together in the garden! All those lovely ladies! Everyone was the top of the top. Not a single one of those rude people, like that German girl was now busy sleeping with everyone around town, or that pink haired stripper who worked at the club. Oh yes, Gladice knew all about them and she was more than repulsed by that kind of behaviour. Truth to be told, if she was in full control of the island, she would make the screening process of the new immigrant much more strict. With all those drug users and those women of little virtues, this place was becoming a real madness. Thankfully, today only the normal people were invited…. And Romane. Well, she was as proper and decent as one could be and had been behaving those last two years, so Gladice thought it would have been a good idea to invite her. She also had her doubts on Rachel and Celeste who weren’t very ‘ladylike’, but, you couldn’t argue that they were both very lovely women.
”Oh, you are all welcome! I thought it would just be fabulous to have us woman get to know each other. If the boys can have their private male-time, why can’t we all?” Said the old woman with a little laugh. Of course, she had no idea that the male gathering was usually done naked, but that was beside the point. People were so much more beautiful when fully dressed with pretty clothes and makeup. ”Why don’t you all sit down. No need to stay up when there are perfectly comfortable chairs. We’re still waiting on some people, but their fault for being late, isn’t?” She didn’t want to admit it, but she just wanted them to sit down and taste the various pastries she had made. Could you blame an old lady to love compliments?
Alanis was as happy as her grandmother. She had kept smiling and giving little bows of the head everytime someone new appeared at their table. It was so great to meet so many new people! She would have loved to invite Zhi and Kotone, but Zhi was out of the country and Kotone was… Well, Kotone. She had also thought, for a moment, to dress Lucas as a girl and bring him there, but she knew that he would never be able to pull it off. There was a limit to what her little poodle could do~ ”Ah! Good day, Ellie, Julia! You two looks beautiful! How are the children, Ellie? Is Kim taking care of the- OH MY GOD. Amanda, was it? You’re dress is simple won-der-ful. Where did you got it? Did you do it yourself? I did mine myself. Isn’t it pretty? Oh! Look at me talking and talking, I am so sorry. My name is Alanis, nice to meet you.” She wouln’T usually talk that much, but everything was so exiting…
Whi was a huge contract compared to Judith, who hadn’t said a single word. Instead, she had been silently judging everyone who had come. They weren’t all bad, but none were perfect. They all had little mistakes in their lives that had just ruined everything for them all. Except Amanda. She was pretty and last thing she had learned about her, she had some success with her photography. Her daughter had chosen the right person to talk too. She was proud of her, again. Alanis always did things perfectly. Oh? Wondering who was the worst of them all in Judith’s eyes? Was it Aniela? A successful ballerina who got everything thrown away because of a boy? Maybe it was Rachel, the Sheriff who couldn’t resist a man and got pregnant by a coworker? Or maybe even Celest, who was just going no where with her life? No, there was one worst then all of them: Talna. She had so much potential, but no, she had assume a life of mediocrity. Simply despicable.

 Mei almost couldn't believe it. She had only begun to stand awkwardly while watching the others socialize when someone addressed her. She flinched at first, looking at Talna with wide, startled eyes, as the woman greeted her. She didn't understand how she knew her name, but then she decided that this was a proper woman, like her mother! Proper women made sure they knew the names and faces of people attending any sort of party they went to. Oh, how silly of her. She had been away from that lifestyle so long, she had nearly forgotten that that was normal. "Nice to meet you, too," she replied with a small, polite smile.
In the next few moments, a number of other women arrived, all looking nice and pretty in their dresses... Well, except for Romane, but she had blue eyes, so she was forgiven. Mei was practically glowing in happiness, the flowers and sunshine and bows and all of the other pretty things around her expanding to ten times their size. Inside her own little delusional mind, of course. She had been having a number of hallucinations lately, maybe she should see someone about that...
That's when Gladice (Mei knew her name from all of those festivals, even though the two of them hadn't really spoken ever.) invited them all to sit. She practically skipped to the table, taking in its prettiness as if it were oxygen, and took a seat as close to Talna as she could get. Yes, she had decided that this woman was a Proper Lady, and she was looking to improve herself, so she should spend as much time around a Proper Lady as possible! Maybe she could absorb some of that Proper Lady-ness through osmosis or something. (Science was never her strong subject.)
"Everything's so lovely and nice," Mei chirped as she took a seat. Folding her hands in her lap, she gave everyone a blissed-out smile, though it took quite a bit of self control not to shrink back at the sight of Judith. She was giving off some intense vibes!

BelaxxandxxGemma  First of all, there were a few things to be noted here. First, Bela and Gemma arrived together. Secondly, they were talking. And thirdly, what the ******** was Gemma wearing? Which would explain Bela laughing at how stupid the other woman looked. Bela was perfectly immaculate, but Gemma looked so very out there. Oh no, she didn't come naked, she had Celeste to thank for that. The invitation said to bring gloves and a hat, so she did. In fact, she brought one glove, which looked oddly like the late Michael Jackson's old style of wearing only one, and an astronaut's helmet. Yeah, go figure. "So, wait, you're telling me that you didn't have a hat, so you took the one back at the school?" Bela asked again, just to be sure she heard right.
Gemma, who had the black thing that usually masked the astronaut's face up, replied with a nod. "Yeah, but it's still technically mine. I brought it for one of my classes one day, but I left it by accident and it just stayed there. Forgotten." Gemma explained, not understanding what was so weird about that, not at all.
"Right, whatever you say, Gemma." Bela replied, brushing the conversation off with a wave of the hand. Why was she so social, you ight ask? Well, aside from having sex with Xeiro that morning, which was always a good pick-me-up after all that vulnerability fades, she knew she had to slap on the game face, for Gladice. And since Gemma didn't know her that well, Bela said, 'Eh, what the hey?' And approached the oddly dressed woman to converse with, who's conversation just now ended. Yup, she was crazy, Bela concluded.
Bela went easily and sat down as close to Gladice as possible, while Gemma sat in the first available seat that was the farthest away from Judith. She didn't doubt some heads would turn toward her, so she simply said, "Hi." And waved at whoever was looking, using her non-gloved hand. The way her eyes crinkled a little indicated that she was smiling.
Bela didn't even go on to greet anybody, as she was sure everybody would ignore her to stare at Gemma. Oh, poor thing. She was bound to be torn down at this very tea party... thing. Especially now that Bela noted that Judith was here; she only knew that the woman ripped and talked crap about everyone. And hell, Bela had actually thought what it would be like to meet her face-to-face. Old hag. Heck, Bela wasn't even sure how she would react if the old woman decided to talk crap about her. Oh well, they'd just have to wait and see.

  A.N.G.E.L.I.N.A. - - - - Angelina, followed by two burly looking men in dresses with oranges stuffed in their bras, walked into the Garden where many pretty ladies and a girls were gathered. Angelina was thankful that his fader let him go to the event, it had been a while since he had gone anywhere outside his home. Though, he had to take his body guards, who did not look as pretty as him in a dress, it was still a fun occasion! The men, already disgraced in their dresses, except for one who looked to enjoy it more then he should, perched themselves behind some trees off to the side of garden square, as to not disturb the woman. Oh what fun he was going to have, it would be - Oh wait. He looked behind him to where he expected to see the tall, overdone, woman who had also come with him. Where did she go?
Frowning, he shrugged it off before glancing around the crowd for any familiar faces. None, none, one! It had been a while, but he surely recognized her! The wrinkles, the scraggly white hair, the hunched back - granny! It must have been forever since he last saw her! Did she get older? Maybe. He'd have to count her wrinkles just to make sure. Grinning happily, he weaved between the pretty dressed girls with much excitement. Oh she was going to be so surprised at how big he got! Oh and she had treats all prepared! He knew grannies baked, they always did! Lots, and lots of cakes and cookies. With a pitched squeal of excitement, he called out to the elderly woman just as he reached her. "Granny!" He eyed her with a big, proud grin. He knew he had gotten super big, because a lady didn't have to watch him pee anymore - that was in case he fell in, like last time. Why did fader have such big potties? Oh, that wasn't important, granny was! "Look how big I got, granny, and look how wrinkly you got! Well, you already had lots, and lots, and lots of wrinkles, but I'm sure you got more now! Aren't I big now? Can I have some cake?"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  After following the little girl for quite a ways, Jessebelle's servant had collapsed from exhaustion after pulling the chariot a ways up a hill. The woman, normally being her dish washer, was her only choice since it was an all girls party, not an all girls and some men too party! Annoyingly enough, she had to leave her passed out servant behind to walk the rest of the way. Grunting, she kept her dressed bundled up in her arms as she stomped along the road. Cinderella didn't have to walk to her party – no, she had a fancy golden pumpkin! Yet here she was, walking! Oh, why did the world have to treat her so? So, with a lot of huffing and many breaks to check her make up, Jessebelle finally made it to the party. Many girls were there, none she recognized, except for the short one bugging the old woman. Dropping her dress, she took a moment to fix her make up, her hair, then her double D cup breast ( which were quite fake, just a very expensive pair of water bags strapped to her chest and a lot of help from a make up artist to blend it into her skin ) and she was ready.
Now, to enter! Sticking her chest forward, she walked proudly into the crowd where she pranced for a bit before seeking out the table of goods. The napkins were wrapped very cutely, she'll have to train her servants to do that. ”Cute.” She said to herself. Oh, but she couldn't eat anything – the other girls would see her and think she was fat. Grimacing she stood awkwardly for a minute as she gathered in her thoughts what she was to do now. There wasn't a single man here, how was she to chase her dreams if there isn't any men? Why did she come exactly? Frowning, she scanned the crowd until her eyes abruptly stopped at a peculiar sight. A woman, maybe, wearing some freakish helmet and - okay that was too weird. Next - oh this one wasn't so bad. A woman in uniform, plain looking, just standing around. A cop? Oh good, maybe she could tell her some things she needed to know – or make her look even better in comparison and not just standing awkwardly around at a social party. Bundling her dress enough to show off her expensive gold colored heels, she made her way to the stuffy looking woman. ”Excuse me,” She called as she made way to the woman, standing a few feet from her. The woman wasn't bad looking for looking so bad, but her breast lacked Jessebelle's size, so that made her feel better. ”Are you a police officer?” Lame, obvious, question, but Jessebelle was not well acquainted to starting conversations with girls unless it started with an insult at how bad they looked.

_____________The sound of another woman showing up caused her to turn around and see an adorable oriental woman. Her voice was so soft and sweet. Oh! So cuuuuuute~! Aniela lifted her hand to wave hello when she saw more females arriving. The cute and angelic blonde female had immediately started the social butterfly act which Aniela should be doing as well. She went from girl to girl saying hello, including her. The ballerina smiled at the woman with the funny accent. She couldn't tell where it was from but it was interesting. Though her smile vanished when her mansion was mentioned. Of course the town knew about what happened in her cherished home. . Now it is tainted with pure evil. Her hand lifted to the back of her neck feeling uncomfortable about the subject and looked away from the not-so-awesome blonde. When she looked up again, there arrived another pretty blonde named Amanda. She lowered her hand from her neck and decided to straighten out her white dress.
Three more females came to the gathering. This was so nice and pleasant. too pleasant to be a sour puss about what happened two years ago. She would suck it up and just smile and wave to those introducing themselves and saying hello to the growing group. Another arrived! Jeez how many are coming to this tea party? The host of the party spoke and caused for Aniela to look her way and give her full attention. She was sweet and elderly, like the grandma that everyone loves. They were all told to take a seat at the table and looking around, she wondered if there would be enough seats. Aniela walked up to the table and seat herself, grabbing a napkin and placing it on her lap since it was a tea party, they would be dealing with food. She couldn't bare to drop anything on her dress. The oriental woman gave positive comments which Aniela nodded her head to in agreement. She then looked over to see a little girl and two 'manly' men walking over in dresses with fruit used a breasts. Her jaw dropped at the humiliated sight.
Though she couldn't help but to laugh softly. Well what she thought was a little girl, just may have turned out to be a little. . boy. Her lips parted even more in astonishment. She didn't know that children here did drag as well. Then a familiar face arrived. The woman she met at the beach two years ago! How is it that Aniela remembers her?! Probably because she was one of the two only civilians she met before being held against her will in her own home. It was nice to see a familiar face again that wasn't negative. She was going to make her way over and say hello when she saw her walk up to the officer. She changed her mind and turned back around in her chair.

 Amanda • Hope • O'Conner ♥ As the group grew larger and larger Amanda wondered if she would see a familiar face at all, then Celeste came. Seeing her cheerful face Amanda waved back happily and made a gesture inviting her to come sit by her at the lovely table when the did end up sitting. A blonde girl came up to Amanda not long after she had gotten there and started chattering about her dress. Wow your enthusiastic. Smiling cheerfully Amanda addressed her, "Well hello Alanis, it's nice to meet you as well. Thank you so much for your kind complement! I acctually got my dress while I was traveling last year for photography in Paris. I'll be sure to pass along your complements to the designer though, he will absolutly adore them." As the group was addressed by a Grandmotherly woman and invited to sit Amanda decided to excuse herself to sit. "It was lovely meeting you Alanis, I'm going to sit though. Maybe we can talk fashion's at some point though." Smiling Amanda walked towards the lovely table and sit about midway along the table. As she had walked over, Amanda learned the grandmotherly woman's name was Gladice. Once she had seated herself and pulled dainty gloves from her clutch and placed them on her lap, she addressed the elderly woman. "Ms. Gladice the table looks absolutly wonderful! Everything is just lovely."

Because we need a seating order... Clockwise, starting at Gladice: Gladice > Judith > Alanis > Empty Seat > Amanda > Celeste > Empty Seat > Empty Seat > Gemma > Aniela > Empty Seat > Mei > Talna > Bela > Ellie > Angelina > Gladice.
Oh, my! France? Paris! What a wonderful place to be when it came to fashion! Oh, Alanis would just love to go there to look at all the new dresses! And Amanda was so lucky to be able to photograph them all! Oh wait a moment… That was a designer dress? Could it be a Chanel? Maybe a Vuton? A St-Laurent? What was it? She had to know! She had to find the griffe on in and… there she went. Ah well, there were so many people and Alanis had taken too long to reply, no wonder Amanda had went to see someone else! Oh well, they could still chat through lunch. The young teenage girl went to sat down next to her moment when new people arrived at the party…
Like everyone else at the garden party, the three LeBlanc’s women’s face fell off when Gemma, Angelina and Jessebelle came to the party. Gladice just couldn’t keep her eyes away from the manly body guards… especially the one that seemed to be enjoying himself a bit too much in that dress and heel. Oh, she should have know something like that would have happen! She had her doubt when she had invited the two woman from the Sonata family, but Angelina was just a little girl and Jessebelle was the less eccentric of the three adults, what could have possibly gone wrong? Seeing body guards cross-dressing like that had never crossed her mind. Like, seriously! What kind of shame was that? They could have at least made an effort to wax their legs and shave their armpits! And that one over there had obviously two different sized fruits! Maybe she was getting paranoid through the years working with Gaston, but she was sure that the stupid mayor had done it on purpose to send them dressed like that. That was the only possible logical solution she could come up with. Of course, she was more than happy seeing them go hide behind trees and bushes. So much happy, that she had completely ignored the Gemma Situation.
However, someone hadn’t ignored the Gemma situation, and that someone was Judith. How could that fool of a woman even think of coming to a place like this, dressed like that? Gemma was a brilliant woman, but sometimes, Judith wondered if she hadn’t crossed the ‘genius line’ to fall into the ‘insanity’ one. She slammed her right hand’s palm on her forehead and muttered something under her breath. ”Oh, for the love of God, someone poison her tea.” A good drop of hemlock poison would do the trick. Throught the last two years, she had ponder times and times again as to why she wasn’t firing the girl, and the answer always was the same: no one was better. But the moment someone qualified came around, she would so kick the woman out of her job, it wasn’t even funny.
Gladice had heard her daughter-in-law saying something and had turned toward her to ask to repeate herself, for she hadn’t understood just what she had said, when she noticed Angelina standing there. The old woman’s face brighten up when she saw, what she still believed to be, the little girl. ”Angelina! Sweetheart! I almost didn’t recognise you! You grew so much!” She said with a warm smile… the slowly became distorted when the little girl started to talk about her wrinkles. Well, she couldn’t really blame a little girl from saying the truth, now could she? ”Ah, yes! I’ve gotten more wrinkles, that’s true! And so will you once you get old too!” That was her way to bitchslap future Angelina, because right now, she couldn’t get mad at the little girl standing in front of her. Just look at how charming she wa! My, she had grown into such a pretty lady in the last two years. ”Why don’t you just sit right next to granny?” She asked her, tapping the seat to her right.

  Oh.. Oh.. My.. Talna stared wide-eyed like a lost doe as she witnessed the men enter the garden, following two of the most prettily dressed guests yet – but, my! Did Gladice invite those two men too? She didn't think the old woman's eyesight was that off! She held a hand to her lips as she watched them, blinking long and hard until they disappeared – oh, good. She supposed they were just a pair of homosexuals celebrating their freedom coincidentally in the same garden they were having a tea party in. It sounded good enough for her to drop it as she went back to – “Oh, lord!” She mumbled when she saw some woman with a.. helmet? One glove? Oh, God, it was like looking at a walking mess and she could feel her insides twisting with the urge to run over, fix the woman up, and make the world right again. But, she had to keep those urges to herself – oh, she had to.. She couldn't.. no, no, it would be rude.. Besides, she didn't have any extra hat and gloves on her.. She couldn't fix her even if she tried. Though, she really wanted to.. Ah. Of course. She smiled and nodded at everyone until she was sure they were off doing their own thing. She slowly stood up from the table and said something flippantly about excusing herself – which meant going off behind a hedge for a few minutes alone.
By the time she got back, she held a quickly weaved crown of flowers in hand – sure, it wasn't her garden to pluck tulips and things of that like from, but no one could own flowers unless they had a farm! It was why she was able to just pluck anything off of the floor and sell it, no matter if it was in someone's yard or just in the woods! Point was, she had a crown now and, thus, a means to fix half of that horrible mess! Which was better than nothing. She rounded the table as casually as she could manage, but her nerves were too on edge for her to walk anything but stiffly. She was just happy the woman wasn't sitting too far from her. “Miss? Why don't ya take that silly ol' helmet off and show yer purdy face, mm?” She said pleasantly enough, standing right beside the woman's chair to get her attention. Oh, God, she was so close to it! It was horrifying to see such an attire! How could Gladice have thought inviting this woman was a good idea?! She adored the old lady, truly, but sometimes her judgment just seemed to be so very off..
~ ~ ~
This.. really was a lot of people. Romane had scanned the group as it slowly began to grow from just a small get together to an actual crowd. Outside of Bela, though, no one seemed worrisome.. Still, seeing so many all at once was starting to test her nerves. At least she wasn't being forced into them all, as the southern woman who had spoken to her briefly gave up just as soon as she had asked, much to Romane's relief. If she stayed on the edge like this, she could just pretend she was on guard duty. She still had her gun, correct? She was just working! Nothing social about something like this! ..Ah, this wasn't helping her very much. Even years later, she still had trouble without a familiar face – oh. Rachel. She looked at the blond as she approached her, which left her feeling much better than before. She relaxed her shoulders and gave her boss a pleased look at the woman's presence. She wasn't in uniform, but she wasn't exactly overdressed either, which made it all the better! ..Of course, Gemma had certainly cleared up any possibility of awkwardness when she arrived with a helmet on, of all things.
She shook her head at the teacher and was about to say something to Rachel, when one of those perfumed whores decided to come over to her. She turned her head from the blond to study Jessebelle for a moment, confused on why she had left the group to go speak with her. Certainly there were plenty of better – ah, wait, no.. This was a good sign. The woman wasn't associating herself with fellow lowly females, but with someone as exemplary as Rachel and Romane. That showed some good character, correct? “Correct. I am.” She paused – was that too short? Perhaps she should try something more.. “Rachel Fate is on the force as well.” Good enough. She was performing this conversation task pretty well, if she could grade herself!

Beatrice had the hardest time decided on what to wear and was consequently left behind by Bela. But, that was fine because she got to ride in the car while Bela had to walk! She was excited to be here to say the least. She had never been to a tea party before, and she loved girl-y little events so this should be perfect! She smiled at everyone she saw and made her way to the table. She spotted Angelina who she hadn't seen since that first week at the park, the girl looked good. She knew she was doing the whole grown up thing a little too hard when her thoughts were of how good people were looking since she last saw them. Before it was all just that they were a person, now appearances mattered! The world of adults was sooooo confusing!
She was surprised that she recognized a few people there, her main fear was that she would only know Bela and have to follow her around all night. Not that she didn't love her sister-in-law's company. It was just that it was always nice to be around new people, especially when at an event such as this. She saw her teacher, wearing a space helmet. That was odd. Miss Rhodes always seemed to be an odd one, but that was even pushing it. She simply waved at her teacher, hoping not to draw her attention too much. I mean, who wanted to spend the entirety of a tea party talking to their teacher? Not this girl, that's who. Or rather, that's not who. Beatrice also recognized Alanis, but didn't know the girl past a few hello's, so that was a no go.
In the end, she decided to just walk up to Bela. She was the most approachable and she was off by herself. "Hey, Bela." She smiled at her and tangled her hands together behind her back.
__________________________________________
Zelynity felt all purdy. It wasn't very often that she got to leave the house, so when she did... She did it up! She was glad that she was able to attend such an event, so she waved to who she thought to be in charge, Gladice. She saw that she was busy talking to a child and didn't want to interfere. She then decided it best to just take a seat in one of the few left open and await for someone to either address her or something that deserved her input to come up. She crossed her legs at her ankles and placed her hands on the table, attempting her best to look like a proper lady.

BelaxxandxxGemma  Gemma briefly heard a voice behind her, but with the helmet on, it proved to be a little more difficult to pinpoint who had spoken. Looking behind her, she saw Talna towering over her sitting form. Nodding slowly it had her pulling her helmet off, placing it at her side on the grass. Sure, the looks were a little unnerving, now that she noticed them. Her hair must've looked a little crazy, but that's what happened when you wore stuff like that. She didn't think she would look that 'purdy', but whatever, maybe the petite blond would.
But more people kept arriving, and she was no longer the focal point of the tea party. And then Judith said that, "You're just jealous because your big head won't fit in it, that's all." She turned her head to the side in a sharp motion, indicating how offended she was. Poison in her tea, ridiculous! Gemma herself kept more than a few letter openers on her desk for whenever Judith decided to brandish some kind of weapon to kill everyone in her class. Not that she hasn't already brought Florence Zero a time or two. Gemma always got very testy and defensive around those times, ready to pounce the cat herself and stab it with her sharpened 'letter openers'.
Not that anyone but her students, like Beatrice, such a good girl, over there would know how she actually threw one at Judith once she went out the door. The sharp end sticking into the door, right where Judith had been. Ignoring the older, more vile, woman, she imitated Aniela. Taking her napkin and 'daintily' place it on her lap, as best she could that is. It looked clumsy and awkward, to say the least. Poor Gemma.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bela, thankfully, had already done so. While everybody else was greeting and looking at the freaks and whatnot. She however snapped up to Judith mentioning poison, a look of shock. What the ********!? And they allowed this? Well, she was an old hag, it's possible they just let her babble all her nonsense. But it still made her feel uneasy, especially knowing by Keith that she just might actually do it, if she could.
Taken by total surprise, she jumped a little when Beatrice came up to her. "What? Oh, hey!" Bela said, looking up at her with look of surprise and misunderstanding. "Oh s**t..." She said under her breath, "I forgot you had been invited, I'm so sorry! You know with the babies and what dress I was gonna wear, it completely slipped my mind." She apologized, both her hands going up to take Beatrice's wrists gently. Aside from Alice, Xeiro, and Vlad, Bela owed Beatrice a LOT. Bela closed her eyes and took a breath in, "Mmm, Xeiro must be soo pissed with meee..." Her voice took a bit of a higher tone, dragging the 'e' at the end. Dropping her head low, feeling horrible about it.
"Ok, well, let's do this, instead," She stood up, picking up her napkin and taking it with her. "Come on, Beez." She gently instructed, moving over to sit next to Celeste, which had an empty seat beside it. Bela sat down, after uttering an apology, and pulling out the seat next to Gemma for Beatrice. Squeezing the girl in between the two. "Oh, hey, didn't you say Gemma was your teacher?" Bela asked, subtly pointing at Gemma. ho was much too busy wondering where and how to place her hands and not to mention her posture in the seat. This was all too fancy for her! Bela only looked at the other woman oddly, before settling to just let her be odd.

-Eleanor Vatonage, Rachel Fate, & Julia Beaumont-
And she was ignored... that wasn't really new. The woman simply smiled and took a seat, next to the-was that a girl or a boy? Hm... good question. No wait, it was a girl! Silly Ellie. Silly Ellie indeed... she was just too busy looking at the other guests to really notice. Huh... she was next to Bela, who honestly was a little bit intimidating... Okay this was silly! She was a grown woman attending a tea party! ...But she also didn't know anyone there so... Back to hermit mode while being a good lady.
Was that girl wearing an astronaut helmet? Rachel's attention diverted to watching her for a moment. Huh, even she had the common sense to try to fit in with these ladies... Sure she was all for individuality but she really should know when to... Ah crap, that was her mother mentality kicking in. The blond shut her eyes close and shook her head, mentally scolding herself for that one. Her eyes and attention returned when she heard her name and glanced over to Romane. Oh she was talking? She was talking. This was good. Yes, she should take a seat, wait no. This was Romane, best to stay right here.
Julia was quite entertained by the small moments of this party. Well she'd be... "Now that is one cool helmet..." she mumbled ever so softly, watching Gemma with a smile. That was kind of cool. Unlike Rachel, she approved all odd expressions, especially if they didn't fit an event. She was surprised to hear anything like what Judith said, which wasn't nice at all. But the woman was intimidating as it was so... no. It also seemed like it was time to take a seat, so off she was, debating for a moment where to seat, which was then made quite clear. next to Gemma. "Hello there. Love the helmet" she said in all honesty as she sat down next to the woman. Glancing over to Aniela, the black-haired woman smiled in greeting. "Hello." Now to place that napkin and be all lady-like.
-END DAY D< THEY HAD A LOVELY TIME. THE END-
