1. Oh my God, what a fun event! So many favorites...
- NOT getting executed despite flagrant disrespect to pretty much all the nobles
- Helping the Sect with Talon and still remaining completely ignorant because that's how Aisling do
- Explaining the dance of my people to a few nobles
- Conversations with the Shabbawhatever Sultana lady and the Grand Marshal were really fun
- THE FOOD WAS ALL SO GOOD, I'm so sad I didn't have any container to take leftovers home in!
- Constantly being rescued from saying too much to a noble by Siegart, bless him
- Aisling now has a very twisted view on human parties. Assassination attempts are a must, yes?
2. My dress didn't come on time and I had to make do, that was sad! xD But nothing you guys can fix! Otherwise I'd say not being able to eat until really late, I was suuuper starving by the time we were allowed to eat and it sort of interfered with my medication schedule, I have to take my medication with food and so I took it a few hours late.
3. DANCING. WHAT KIND OF A PARTY IS IT WITHOUT DANCING?
4.
So this was what a palace looked like? FANCY. She'd gotten just the weensiest bit lost on her way here, but some kind (and HANDSOME) guardsmen had directed her to the location of the party. Honestly, she'd expected the palace to be a bit bigger and more castle-y after the descriptions people gave her, but this was still wildly impressive. Bouncing into the party, the Tari Nor took a look around her and immediately made a beeline for the mountains of food she spotted laid out resplendently on a massive banquet table. She had heard that there was going to be a feast, but this was the most food she'd ever seen at once! Wow, human parties were pretty neat!
Just as the teen was reaching out a hand to grab a tasty-looking cinnamon roll off of a silver platter, a hand bedecked in pink jewelry lightly smacked her away. "You can't eat yet! We have to wait for the nobles!" Aisling took a long, hard look at the mystery person before her. It was so hard to tell the difference between people when they wore masks and didn't have horns! "Becky?" The silver-dressed Tari Nor hazarded a guess, judging from the sheer amount of pink, and the familiar pink tartan now draped upon her figure like a sash. After receiving confirmation that she was, indeed, speaking to the fashionable Barbarian, Aisling proceeded to loudly voice her opinion on yet another silly human custom she was faced with. "That seems dumb. I'm hungry noooow! Why do we have to wait for the nobles?" The child whined as she was steered away from the banquet table, casting one last longing glance over her shoulder at the tempting cinnamon rolls and other goodies on display. Why would they put them out if you couldn't eat them yet? Furthermore, why did they have to wait for some silly fancy people to show up before they could eat? It was such a stupid rule!
Aisling perked up at the sight of Siegart, along with a bunch of people in masks she didn't recognize. "Siegart! Your mask is so sparkly!" Just as she began greeting her friend, some random noble showed up and everyone started making a big fuss of them, bowing and scraping. The happy-go-lucky Tari Nor waved cheerfully at the incoming person, and was rapidly yanked down into a bow by Siegart. Another dumb human rule. Wasn't this supposed to be a party? Parties were celebrations! Everyone was equal at a party! Evidently, at human parties, this was not the case. "This is my first ever human party! I'm so excited!" She had informed everyone who would listen to her of this fact. Human parties were shaping up to be a lot less exciting than Tari Nor parties.
No dancing. No eating until nobles got here. Gotta bow to nobles EVERY TIME. No hitting on nobles. She couldn't wait for the orgy to start, because this party was kind of boring otherwise. "So when is the orgy scheduled to start?" Aisling questioned loudly, causing several nobles to turn their heads and gawp at the audacity of this little Tari Nor. "There is none. Humans don't have those at their parties." Siegart explained with a mournful note in his voice to the violet-eyed forest child. NO ORGIES? What the heck kind of party was this? What did humans even DO for fun? Bow to each other, apparently. That didn't sound like a lot of fun to her. Aisling sincerely hoped the party would get more interesting, and fast. She later would regret this thought completely and immediately, for while assassination attempts are certainly interesting, they are by no means fun.
