[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"

Anwen has most likely attached herself to an extrovert she's vaguely familiar with. She is trying to get a good mark in social gatherings, which was once possible for her to achieve. She's probably wearing a nice dress (but still black. She doesn't need to wear uniform at a party but it's Anwen)

"Ms Cross!" An older woman in a dark grey dress has approached Anwen. She may recognize her as the former Head Tutor at the Assassin's guild. Lady Grey Shep. She retired shortly after her husband's murder. "I am...so glad to see I'm not the only one of our profession here. Honestly if I have to listen to any more idle gossip..."

Ah, Lady Shep! It's a pleasure to see you, I must say I agree. How have you been?

"Well the boys are going at it as always but other than that I've been doing well. What about you, I heard you were caught up in that court case with the court case against the Postmaster recently"

"Oh, gods, yes - it was all a bit of a shambles in entire honesty. Very difficult client"

"There's rarely an easy client with this business. I speak from experience." She takes a drink of punch before continuing "Are you between contracts at the moment? I could probably find you a spot training new recruits for a bit if you'd like to take a less active position for a bit"

Having arrived with Edith, he almost immediately dives into the crowd to begin some social maneuvering: shaking hands, flashing smiles and generously showering people with compliments.

He is wearing a blue three-piece satin suit with a white rose boutonnière.

"Excuse me" A young man in a dress watch uniform has walked over to Zott. His badge, which he is of course still wearing, identifies him as Whitney Shep. "I realize this is the understatement of a lifetime if you are indeed who I think, but your a lawyer right?"

Albert breaks away from the small circle he has been charming to look at him.

Ah, but I was, when I last checked this morning, indeed! He smiles. You appear to be with the Watch, if I'm not mistaken? I don't believe we've met.

"Whitney Shep, Watch Four Ensics Department yes." He holds a hand out to shake Zott's. "I realize this isn't the place for it but I was hoping for some legal advice. I have...reason to believe I will be in a defamation law suit sooner rather than later"

Oh? And are you? About to defame someone? He shakes his extended hand. Do tell! Defamation suits usually boil down to who can out-whine the other. To put it simply.

"Technically according to Blake I've been defaming him for six years." Whitney sighs "I...may have made some...accusations that I can't directly prove. That he is now taking a Professional level of offense to since it involves him breaking the Assassin code of Ethics"

[Vimes is leaning against a wall and drinking a lemonade, alone. Sybil has gone off to talk to a friend and has no intention of socializing with people first. He is wearing his uniform.]

[Nearby, Sybil is speaking to a group of people at this point, including a man she recognizes as Sebastian Graham, the head Clerk of the Charitable Hospital. Sam can just make out the man saying...] "Well, Sybil darling of course I wish nothing but the best for Lucinda, but if I completely honest your husband may end up needing to arrest me for killing her fiance" [He said in a tone that implied he was kidding...and with a look in his eyes that implied he was not. Sybil at least knows Sebastian has carried a torch for Lucinda for several years...]

ankh-morpork-watch-official

Oh Sebastian, I know, but at least Lucinda is happy now, and that’s the important thing, is it not?

[Meanwhile Vimes finally wanders over.]

Hi.

Oh, hello Sam. Sebastian, this is my husband, Sam Vimes. Sam, this is Sebastian Graham.

"Good to meet you Sir Sameul, fan of your work." Sebastian puts on that kind of smile that you're supposed to use when meeting someone who you are at least supposed to pretend to respect. "And honestly Sybil how happy can she be when her Fiance has notably failed to show up to his own engagement party?"

ankh-morpork-watch-official

[Sam returns with a smile that’s just as tight.]

I’m sure he’s just…running late. And Lucinda seems to be in…decent spirits at least.

The groom’s missing?

"Well Fiance, technically, he's not the groom till the actual wedding day. But yes. And is it really all that better for Lucinda if her Fiance is more concerned with whatever he does in that little "Pharmaceutical Alchemy" laboratory he has then her party?"

ankh-morpork-watch-official

Sebastian, I’m sure he’s just running late. He’ll be here any minute.

"He's clearly not taking this seriously in comparison for his half-cocked alchemical experiments. You heard him when he was before the board of governors. All that nonsense about "chemical alterations to the mind" and that"

Realizing quite late that the party is full of nobles she's generally not popular with, Edith exchanges a few words with a couple of acquaintances from the crowd, then proceeds to snatch a glass of champagne from the nearest table and goes to take a closer look at some paintings hanging in the main hall.

For the occasion, she wears a pearl-grey velvet suit with a high-necked bowknot blouse.

"Excuse me?" A voice like blood pouring through shattered crystal suddenly rings out from behind Paledew. If she turns around she will see a pale skinned man with dark black hair and a goatee, dressed in...essentially a slightly dressier form of an assassin's cloak over a suit. "You are a lawyer correct? I was wondering do you by any chance work defamation suits?"

She does turn around, slowly.

Good evening. She gives him a quick once-over, noting the cloak. That is correct. However, defamation falls under civil law and my work in that area is... selective. What is the nature of the issue?

"My name is Blake Shep." He gives a surprisingly polite half-bow to the Prosecutor "My brother has been spreading a...particular rumor about myself and I was hoping to possibly see if there were any way I could take legal action to make him stop"

"Shep"? She hums. Does your brother work for the Watch?

Regarding your question, it depends on whether you can prove it caused significant damage to your reputation. Though, this being Ankh-Morpork, slander is the conventional greeting here. Success depends entirely on your lawyer's... zeal.

"My brother Whitney, yes. Actually thats who's been defaming me" His smile doesn't waver once as he explains whats going on "For...several years now have been making a completely false claim about me performing an action that goes directly against the ethics code of the Assassin's Guild."

I have the power to watch the many adventures and stories in existence, but that's all I can do: watch

I... almost get envious at times, watching how there's a big adventure going on, or how things are going very wrong, and not being able to do anything. Especially that last part. There's nothing worse for me than to feel trapped in a place where no one can really reach

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."

@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.

[Vimes is leaning against a wall and drinking a lemonade, alone. Sybil has gone off to talk to a friend and has no intention of socializing with people first. He is wearing his uniform.]

[Nearby, Sybil is speaking to a group of people at this point, including a man she recognizes as Sebastian Graham, the head Clerk of the Charitable Hospital. Sam can just make out the man saying...] "Well, Sybil darling of course I wish nothing but the best for Lucinda, but if I completely honest your husband may end up needing to arrest me for killing her fiance" [He said in a tone that implied he was kidding...and with a look in his eyes that implied he was not. Sybil at least knows Sebastian has carried a torch for Lucinda for several years...]

Oh Sebastian, I know, but at least Lucinda is happy now, and that’s the important thing, is it not?

[Meanwhile Vimes finally wanders over.]

Hi.

Oh, hello Sam. Sebastian, this is my husband, Sam Vimes. Sam, this is Sebastian Graham.

"Good to meet you Sir Sameul, fan of your work." Sebastian puts on that kind of smile that you're supposed to use when meeting someone who you are at least supposed to pretend to respect. "And honestly Sybil how happy can she be when her Fiance has notably failed to show up to his own engagement party?"

(OOC ask!!)

Been meaning to send this in for ages (forgot like 12 times lmao) but I wanted to say that im super excited for the Jekyl/Hyde type plot. It's one of my favourite older stories and lends itself to Discworld very well, and it’ll be fun to see how it plays out

Hope you have a good day :) 🩵

(I'm glad you like the idea and I will be getting back to it as soon as possible. Sorry for any delays)
