"stop wearing that boar's head everywhere, you're scaring people off with your grisly mummified boar's head." in my experience the only conversations worth having are with people who don't mind the boar's head

((My most sincere apologies for people that just came in but I think three hours is my limit to pretending to be another person and I just can't Liz any more right now. Hopefully you all can still enjoy the party and pretend Liz is still here somewhere (though that doesn't mean like making her do things or carrying on a conversation with her, please). If anyone does leave me a direct question/interaction, I will certainly do my best to reply later as if no time as passed. Ah, the magic of pretend. lol. <3))

Oh dear, I’m not late, am I? I’ve got the shortest journey, after all. Anyway, I’ve come as a magician:

Happy birthday, Your Majesty!

[firstqueenliz]

I’ll forgive the lateness, just watch what you’re doing with that book. Wouldn’t want you burning the place down.

[bardlyworking]

Don’t worry, Your Maj, it’s all just stage tricks. My theatre’s got a thatched roof after all, we couldn’t have anything too dangerous- and if we did, I certainly wouldn’t bring it to a fancy party.

[firstqueenliz]

Well that is some comfort, I suppose.

Have you planned to provide some of the entertainment this evening? I do look forward to it, if so.

[bardlyworking]

Oh, yes! I’ve got everything prepared. *pats pocket*

[firstqueenliz]

Excellent!

[bob-hale]

((Well I did kind of wonder if you would have your own courtiers and such people attending but then I don’t know. Never mind the ‘fairly unattended’ bit then))

Wait a second, is that a caveman over there? Bringing me back to the days I went through the Time Sewers doing reports… They stopped letting me when I tried to fix history to make me supreme ruler of the world…

[firstqueenliz]

..I see. One can only imagine the complications with having a single person try to rule the entire world. Perhaps that was for the best.

[cravatsandcharm]

sorry I’m late! I had an awful job picking my outfit, I bought some flowers for you Happy Birthday Liz :D

[firstqueenliz]

Oh, flowers! How cheap.

[bob-hale]

Well, you don’t have to tell me to wait for it twice! I’ll be looking forward to that. Do I get to have any of the sculptures?

[firstqueenliz]

Maybe. We shall see.

[bob-hale]

*looks around at the fairly unattended party* Yes, I guess we will.

[firstqueenliz]

((Oh. I am always under the impression there is a room full of people at parties, even though there are only certain rp people talking. Well I mean in a case like this. If it was just a little tea party or something that would be different. idk. I didn't realize that everyone didn't do that. lol))

[blenkers-blog]

It wasn’t staying up, you see, and I have to keep my hand there to keep it from getting in my mouth…

[firstqueenliz]

Not too late at all! And what an...interesting costume choice. Were it not a costume, you would certainly have to pay quite the beard tax.

[firstqueenliz]

bob-hale:

[firstqueenliz]

I should hope not, the party’s only just getting started! You have to at least stay for cake.

Oh, yes, and I’m sure it’ll be magnificent. What’s the cake like? 4 feet high? Decorated with an entire menagerie of animals? Equipped with lasers for self-defence?

Okay, maybe that last one is a bit unlikely.

I’m not entirely sure what a laser is, but the cake is mostly topped with sugar sculptures.

For Lizzy’s party, I’m going as a 900-year-old slightly mad genius with the ability to travel through time.

No, I’m not going as myself. I’m going as The Doctor!

[firstqueenliz]

Ah, I’ve met a Doctor before, though he wasn’t dressed quite like you. Surely it must be the same man though, as he also stressed the definite article on his name.

[bob-hale]

The Doctor comes in many different forms, like the passport application process of a particularly bureaucratic country.

How did you end up meeting him? What happened?

[firstqueenliz]

We met at a party. He was quite charming so I asked him to visit court more often. He did and it was fun for a while and then he…left. Not a terribly interesting story, I’m afraid.

[bob-hale]

Well, that’s a shame, I guess.

But not to worry, m’lady! Old Bobsy isn’t going to be leaving anytime soon!

It's my birthday!

Hello everyone! I do hope you enjoy the party this evening!

[You are welcomed into the palace. Food and drink are in abundance. Her Majesty has on a fairly normal-looking outfit, which you may not recognize as a costume. You're sure you overhear someone say she's supposed to be Minerva though, so it would probably do you well to remember that, should you wish to not look uneducated later.]

((Let's get this party started! It's a little early, but don't be discouraged if you're here on time or late. <3 You don't have to reblog this post to join in, but please tag new posts with #queenlizbirthday so we can be sure to find them.))

[firstqueenliz]

Happy birthday, your majesty!

Thank you!

[firstqueenliz]

((A bit of a mun's note: Though the problem should be sorted out by the middle of the week, I am currently without my laptop. While I do have access to a desktop, which is how I'm making this post, I can't really have the whole party from here since I'm not sure how long that might last. As I said, I hope to have things fixed before Saturday, but if not, the party will just have to be postponed to a later date. Otherwise, I'm still planning to have the party and am thinking about starting at maybe 12pm or so EST. My apologies if that's really late for some of you but I don't think I can be around before that. So yeah. Hope those of you coming have your costumes ready! ...though Liz hasn't actually made a final decision on hers either so it's cool. haha))
