Welcome to Gaia! ::

You have been given an invitation by one of many of Zienna's attendants. They run the full gambit of the spectrum of predatory lyacans and shapeshifters. The invitations are not addressed personally, probably due to last minute planning.
The Zienna mansion is finished and being decorated with the last final touches upon your arrival. The smell of good food and the sound of good cheer can be easily heard on the wind.
Oustide, the air is cold, and a light snow has painted the landscape in a wash of white.

As you enter the inside of the mansion, the halls are certainly decked and very comforting. The colors of red and green are everywhere. And if you're color-blind, there's always the festive music.

A wide grin spread across Vox's face as he walked through the empty corridors of the mantion. He had arrived early to scope out everything and get a gist of what he was in for tonight. "Wow...Cat really knows how to decorate." He had gone out of his way to make a good impression here. He had rented a suit in town and apperantly it belonged to him now, due to the store clerks skidish nature. It was a very nice black suit, trimmed in dark gray seam. His undershirt was a deep crimson red just like his chest scales, and a small holly leaf hung on his coat pocket. He had mannaged to find a special leather worker who made a very nice pair of black leather shues for him. His cuff links and a small pendent on his neck were gold with a small emrald embedded in them. He walked around some more and found himslef in a massive ball room. "Woah...nice." He chuckled lightly as he walked over to the refreshment table, poring himself a glass of sparkeling cyder, sipping on it lightly. He looked back twards the door, the other guests whould be arriving shortly.

Jon and Trixy, a human and anthro hare respectively, Came in dressed in a sort of state department casual. Both wore slacks, and a shirt with a sweater, no tie. Jon wore a pair of waaay, overpriced sneakers, and Trixy wore a special brand for anthros with digigrade feet. You'd never catch either of them wearing anything more dressed up.

"Is that food I smell?" said Jon

"Heel, Jon. Atleast wait a while before digging in. We only just got here." replied Trixy, hoping to curb Jon's appetite.

Taking up the combs made of horn, Jenna had commenced the task of combing and braiding the shining white mane that cascaded like a silver waterfall halfway down her back. With graceful strokes , she combed the tumbling silver gilt tresses back from her temples and brow, How different she looked to herself, in her womans garb, from the slender, leggings she had normally wore.
Her graceful hooves had moved deftly to part each of the two hanks into strands of three and braided them in shining ropes behind each ear. Afterward she twisted the braids like a coronet across the crown of her head and secured it by the smaller, delicately carved combs like a regal crown. The rest of her hair cascaded half way down her back in soft waves as she added clips of holly, pine and red berries behind her left ear creating a vivid splash against her white hair.

Jenna walked into the mansion, taking in the Christmas themed surroundings, her hooves tapped lightly on the marble floor. Being pagan herself she's never celebrated Christmas growing up and didn't know what to expect. Hearing voices she headed in the direction of the ballroom at a slow pace as she glanced about.

She wore a dark brown colored dress that opened at the front to reveal a cream colored lace bodice that hugged her subtle curves. The colors of the gown and robe contrasted subtly against her natural color of light brown and white as she had hoped. The soft winter robe of cream and gold was falling away from her bare slender shoulders. Sitting loosely around her hips she wore a small chain of gold that sparkled with every movement catching the eye even lower.

Jenna turned her attention to Koshiba.
"I've been very well, I never would of thought I'd see you here. How have you been?" she asked with a soft smile.

"I haven't heard from or about them since I got them back. They should be alright now." she said with a weak smile. "Thank you for your help that day, its much appreciated." she glanced around the room once more.
"Your own palace? I should stop by sometime." she said returning her gaze to Koshiba.

Jenna chuckled lightly as she took the piece of paper into her hand.
"Well thank you." she said with a grin. "Wouldn't want to get into any more trouble than I have been in already."

"Oh me?" she smiled weakly. "Long story short, I'm being hunted by my families enemy, and I was almost eaten the other night by a pack of hungry antho wolves and cats. Can't say that I've ever been looked at as food before..it was interesting.." she grinned weakly as she furrowed a brow.
