paradisa | ♔ douze || now i am indeed queen

[Allies & Friends]

Though it is not the way of things, mayhap that is why it will be entirely appropriate in this new realm. This is a prodigious day for myself; indeed for all of England. Whether or not you are loyal to the English crown and country, should you be loyal enough to me as a servant, an ally, or even a friend, I would welcome you to a simple supper I will be having to honor the day His Majesty the King bestowed upon me my crown. Should you choose to come, we will partake before dusk in the castle's own dining hall, where I am most apologetic to inform that no animals will be permitted within for the time being.

~ Anne Boleyn

[ She can't even say 'the day I was made Queen of England', or sign as Anne the Queen, alas her loss foiling everything for her. Regardless, anyone who she thinks is worth inviting will have an invitation delivered to them. ]

[ ooc; If you aren't sure if your character would qualify, just PM me and I will say. Plus ones are welcome ~~heck even party crashers are welcome~~. HERE is the thread for the supper (pile onto character threads/threadjack ahoy)! Elizabeth will be missing, which Anne will investigate afterward. :( ]

Just how formal are we shooting for here?

[ 'Shooting for', that sounds crass. At least she's smart enough to pick up slang, even if she doesn't fully understand it. ]

Formal? Well, I would not show up in a smock. You ought to dress as is befitting your station, in attending a public event to one of mine. But...I would then again insist that this supper is small, and would wish not to constrain you. I enforce nothing.

[ But you know. Dress nice or else. ]

[ yeah, that's a very clear message. emma's glad to hide her thin, resigned smile behind the journal. ]

I'll find a dress.

[ Why is it considered hard to find a dress. Does just not understand American fashion. ]

You have none in your trunk by this time? This is too common of an affliction.

Don't I get some slack for being here, like, two weeks? Haven't exactly needed one.

I forget that they are only considered for special occasions by so many here.

Women's fashion's come a long way in the past five hundred years. Some of it took a turn for the more comfortable.

[ key word: some. ]

What I have seen does not look comfortable in the least.

Tell you what. I'll find a dress for this dinner party of yours, and you let me find you a pair of jeans and a shirt and you see which one you think's more comfortable.

[ If she could see Anne's face right now it might look like she just ate a lemon. Jeans are stupid. Why do people think blue goes with absolutely everything??? ]

...It must be a proper dress, then. I want nothing of what the Lady Kalinda dares to call a skirt.

[ that gets a full-on laugh. ]

No minidresses, got it. I think I can manage.

[ Humor is good, and so needed right now. But still. Sourface! She isn't looking forward to this but she didn't agree to go anywhere public dressed in jeans at least. ]

Will your son be coming?

That's the plan - if it's all right with you.

I would take insult if he did not attend. I look forward to meeting the both of you.

Yeah, you too.
