WEEK 2 - CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE

[maladied]

Let's retire in the countryside
Just as you wish it

Welcome to Hillbury

You come to in an intricately decorated dressing room. For those familiar with it, the style seems to be that of a Victorian manor house, and to those that aren't, even you can tell this is a stately room fit for the elite. In fact, you too, are decorated to match, fully dressed in luxurious suits or dresses, elegant and perfectly tailored, but still somewhat breezy and lightweight for the time period and class it belongs to. Looking outside, you get a view of a rolling and bright countryside. In the far distance, fields of crops and grazing cows can be barely spotted, but all of the nearby landmarks are elegant manors presumably similar to the one you stand in.

[ Mabel grumbles, playing with the fascinator that matches her getup, except more in a marigold/yellow ensemble. ]

Sure, we're party-crashing now. What could go wrong.

[vogelfrei]

Who knows if whatever event we are being spirited away to is even real...

[ God, the stuff with their perception does really mess with his head. ]

Have you attended something formal like this before?

[hardyboys]

Not in the least. This whole setup is both well before my time and above my tax bracket. I've seen enough movies to probably get by, though. Maybe. [ ... ] What about you?

[ She'll also ask that to Seymour, just to get a survey of Where They All Stand. ]

[vogelfrei]

It's part of my daily life, whenever I cannot avoid it.

[ #richboylife ]

The time period might provide problematic, but the general nature of these events never seems to change.

[hardyboys]

Sounds pretty exhausting, honestly.

[ Not that Mabel's completely antisocial, but. There's only so much of That that she can take. ]

[vogelfrei]

[ That gets a small smile. ]

It is. But it's unfortunately necessary.
