@ankh-morpork-watch-official @your-lord-vetinari-official @karamel-books @prosecutor-paledew @harry-king @ofthedoorhingethesqueak @this-is-mr-zott @ms-anwen-cross The engagement party of Lucinda Rust IV and Hector Lyjek is perhaps not the social event of the year in Ankh Morpork, but none the less it is ONE of the social events of the year. The lavish Rust manor is thick with a crowd of the cities nobles...and among them many of the less venerated houses, commonfolk (on paper at least) that Hector probably would know from work and some of Lucinda's clients more than likely. Dr. Lyjek is yet to make an appearance, marking him late for his own engagement party... (((OOC: Please establish yourselves somewhere in the party by responding to this post and I will have someone come and speak with you IC. Whit and his family are here as well as some characters relevant to the Lejyk plotline)))
[Kara is standing by a table, watching people dance. His hair is down and his wings are away, as to not cause a fuss. He is wearing a purple dress and black gloves.]
[Kara can see Lucinda speaking with her eldest sister, Ruth, nearby. Ruth seems...agitated. And given that Lyjek is yet to make an appearance at his own engagement party it's probably not hard to guess why]
[Kara walks over to see if he can do anything to assist.]
Lucinda! This is a beautiful party, thank you for inviting me. Can I ask why you two look so upset? Is everything ok?
"Kara! It's lovely to see you I'm glad you could make it!" Lucinda is smiling widely as Ruth glares slightly, the older sister finally continuing. "Yes, quite. As I was saying do you have any idea when your Fiance will be arriving?" "I told you he's probably caught up in some of his work, Ruth. You know how he gets!" "All too well, yes."
Hector isn’t here? That sounds stressful, is there anything I can do to help?
"Do you have a large book I could bludgeon him with when he arrives?" Ruth deadpans "That isn't funny. Kara he'll be here, any moment I'm sure. Besides I'm fairly certain Ruth will have sent someone down to the hospital to see whats keeping him at this point"
"I swear to Ohm if it's the Frog Pills again..." "No he swore off trying to work with the wizards after the last time, Ruth"
[Kara laughs]
No book I’m afraid. But I could go look for Hector if you would like. It’d be no trouble at all.
As this comment is made, the door to the front of the hall swings open, and a thin man in a white coat and black pants stained with various shades of green runs up to Lucinda...Kara recognizes him as Hector...and he hasn't seemed to notice the crowd "Lucinda theirs been a breakthrough! I've nearly cracked it I'm certain that I..." "Hector! There you are we were starting to get worried!" "Worried about wha-...oh good lord thats a lot of people." "...Hector. The Party?" "...Oh bollocks"
