Charis came into the Main Ball Room at the White Tower and surveyed the room, hands on hips. There was so much to be done!! First, she readied the banquet room:

 

 

Then, she directed the Novices and Servants in readying the dance floor!

 

She checked the entrance way,

 

 

Next, the kitchen staff brought up the meal!

 

 

Finally, Charis channeled thousands of candles alight, and stuck them anywhere she could think of!

 

 

 

Charis looked over the grand room one more time, and then slipped into the dress she'd had brought down from the Green Halls:

 

Happy with her work, she threw open the doors to the Ball Romm to welcome all the denizens of the Tower.

Welcome to the Day of Dancing, hosted by the Green Ajah as part of our celebration of Festival of Lights! The Festival of Lights celebrates the turning of the year from the old to the new. There will be several threads here on the White Tower board. Please Join us!

*pokes her head nervously into the door frame and looks at the ballroom. Slowly walks in to show a pretty brown dress*

 

 

I heard some say dancing, so I went and found a dress. This better not go to waste cause I'll be very sad.

It's beautiful charis!!

 

So, lets get to dancing

 

 

*Limi sweeps into the room and beams at her beautiful wifey and makes her way over to her.*

 

Hello beautiful Captain Mine! Stunning as usual Souvra'dar mine. <3

 

*sweeps her sister out on to the dance floor*

*eeks as she sees all the people starting to arrive*

*strolls in, strawberry blonde tresses flowing down her back, and takes in the beautiful set up*

 

 

 

 

*welcomes all the guests*

 

You all look lovely!

 

*smiles at her Souvra and takes the first dance*

*twirls her wife around* absolutely wonderful love!!

*walks around proffering drinks to all the lovely ladies*

 

*grins and smooches her pillowfriend on the cheek as she twirls past*

Aw everything's beautiful Charis! (for some dang reason I always type chairs first *sigh* *ggl*)

 

Strolls in wearing her best dress...

*glides in, her hair an especially bright aqua, wearing her new gown*

 

 

 

 

Wow Charis! It looks amazing in here!

*smooches her dearest wifey and breaks away to play Hostess*

 

Thank you for the dance, my love!

 

Alanna, Zo, you look lovely!

 

Can I get anything for anyone?

*grabs a glass of wine off of Key's tray, thanks her and takes it to Charis Sedai*

 

I know what we need...we need to get the Warder's in here Nice dresses ladies. I'm so not used to getting all dressed up like this. Light! For school band concerts/drama productions I wear dress pants and a nice shirt, not a dress. It is nice to get really dressy every now and then though

*doing her best to be festive, she picks out a red dress with a red flower for her hair, pulls it all together and flows into the ballroom* Wonderful Charis! It is absolutely splendid!

I agree, the Warders would be nice to see!

 

And Lessa, you look simply lovely! What instrument do you play?

*blushes at the praise*

 

Thanks You look fabulous yourself! I play the flute

 

You look absolutly fabulous Adella

Adella my heart, you look STUNNING!!

 

Lessa, I played Tuba for four and a half years^^

Nice! Our tuba player is really hot

Thankee ladies!

*Strolls in wearing a new dress just for the occasion:*

 

 

*and bringing some dancing Warders:*

 

Elgee, you're so

 

Now..

 

*gets two springbokkies met hoorings*

Africa get your bottom over here and have one with me

*Blows on nails and winks at Ty*

 

Oooh Springbokkies! I'm there like a bear (note to self: send Dylan to buy stuff for Springbokkies)

 

*Clinks glasses with the African Daughter of the 9 Springbokke* Gesondheid!

Mini quiches anyone?

 

*sidles up to the the exquisitely dressed women of the White Tower*
