Lilliana "Lilli" Carlisle. 30. Seamstress and ower of Lilli's Alterations. Rebel. FC: Alexandra Park Closed War of Royals Blog

The flare had shocked Magdalena- the sudden disruption to the festivities and ensuing panic and confusion was a little too reminiscent of the night she’d been kidnapped. The anxiety that rose in her throat, hot and acidic, felt exactly the way it had then. In the chaos, she’d instinctively grabbed for the nearest person. “What’s happening? Are we okay?” 

[lillianaxcarlisle]

“Yes...and no,” Lilli answered quietly, turning to face her. “All we need for you to do is to go over there with everyone else.” She said it so calmly, it was almost frightening. “Now go be a good little princess and go be with everyone else.” Lilli nearly snarled at her.

Screams were ringing out through the night as people started to realize what was going on but Rosa couldn’t move. Every time she went to pick up her feet she would see another person that she had seen almost everyday joining ranks with what she could only assume was the rebellion and each time she would flash back to another moment of the six months she had been held captive. Tears pricked her eyes, panic filling her chest as any hopes of getting away were quickly dashed, and it was getting harder to breath as the chaos resumed around her. “This can’t be happening again.” She choked the words out, her eyes flitting all around her to confirm that there was no escape. This was it. Somehow she had known her last brush with these people would not in fact be the last and all she hoped was that they would kill her this time instead of torturing her for months on end. “Please…please don’t let them be here. Just let this be a dream.” 

[lillianaxcarlisle]

When she saw the flare, it was like everything had just...switched for Lilliana. She was no longer the nice girl who owned a lovely little clothing store. She was in her element as she took down guards and started herding people. “I’m sorry to say, love,” Lilli told her when she overheard her, giving her a fake smile. “But it’s not a dream, no matter how much you want to think it is.”

[leawxlf]

Lea knew what was coming and as soon as she heard the flare, her heart sank. She had just wanted to hand out chocolate and enjoy the company of those around her a little longer. To live life as if it weren’t so fucked up. But she knew the rebels had a mission; a task by the higher ups that had requested the next wave of their grand mission to be taken care of. It didn’t help matters though, that Lea was currently standing like a deer-in-the-headlights. Froze by the actions of her peers; the same peers she was supposed to be helping. Instead, she didn’t move a muscle. Didn’t scream. Didn’t panic. But the frantic thumping of her heart in her ears had been enough to drowned out the screams of the royals and villagers that were surrounding her.

[lillianaxcarlisle]

A cruel smile appeared on Lilliana’s face the moment she saw the flare. She had been waiting on this for a long time-hiding her true thoughts and feelings just so she can be “nice” and wait as long as she bloody could with this. When the time came, she’d easily disabled the guards and left them on the ground-some were dead, she couldn’t help herself-and as she went to do the job, she saw Lea standing there like a deer in the headlights. “What the hell do you think your doing?” she hissed, grabbing her by the arm. “We got things to do, people to...herd and things like that! Now MOVE IT.”

Charlotte copied the brunette on the entrance and went to with her to get the drink. Once Lilliana picked up something nice for her to taste, she took a small sip, humming in delight. Okay, she hasn’t try this kind of drink before. ❝ This one is good. What is it? ❞

“That, my dear friend, is a tequila sunrise,” she said. “And this one is a margarita,” Lilli answered once her drink came. ‘You can get any kind of flavor with a margarita-strawberry, mango, blackberry, any flavor you want, you can mix into a margarita and drink that for the rest of the night. You can even get a cosmopolitan too, get any flavor you want.”

A slight smile spread on her lips. “It would be disappointing if it doesn’t go as well as we’re all hopping,” she chuckled softly, knowing that no one would understand what they were saying. “I’m interested to see how everything goes tonight.”

She nodded in agreement-she would be very disappointed if things didn’t go well tonight. If they didn’t, well, she was going to actually fight someone or actually throw a hissy fit. “Me too-if it goes well, I’m going to celebrate with something stronger than tequila for once.” Lilli mused with a little chuckle and a little wicked smile on her face.

“I hope you’re not too relaxed,” Claire replied, voice soft. Was it possible that the other woman hadn’t been told about what was to come? “Oh, you know, fun enough,” she chuckled softly. Stretching her hands, she made sure that there would be nothing holding her back if she needed to reach for a weapon. “Just…ready for whatever this night brings.”

She shook her head-she can’t get too, too relaxed. What was about to come...well, she kept her excitement down to a minimum, though inside she was ready to burst. “You can say that I’m ready for the same thing-whatever the night brings. Hope it’s really fun-I do hate letdowns.” It was something that made her get bored easily, and she wanted to have some fun for once.

“You are a God send, Lilli.” Alys pulled back her hand. “I’ve never been one for showing up to parties alone. They’re usually more formal than this, and a bit on the ridiculous side, if you ask me, but this one actually seems fun.” Royal parties were a drag. At least in Alys opinion. They were more so formal and you had to be on your best behavior. It was more a party for politics than anything, and being somewhat on the introverted side anyways had always made it a challenge for the young crown. “Have you lived in Khatanga for long?”

“Oh yeah, I know,” Lilli agreed, though she hadn’t really been to a formal party in her whole life. She’d dressed people to go to the parties, but never went to one. The question of living in Khatanga for long made her nod. “Moved here from Manchester when I was just five.” she answered. “My whole family did, before we lost someone.”

❝ As long as it taste sweets I don’t think I’ll ever have an issue with that. ❞ Charlotte could feel the butterflies on the pit of her stomach on how excited she is. She smiled timidly, as they approached on the local. She could hear the song on the outside.

“They have the sweet drinks,” she promised once the music was heard outside. She led Charlotte up to the front, where she flashed the bouncer her ID and told Charlotte to do the same, moving to the side so they can get in. Once they were in, Lilliana beelined for the bar, grabbing the drink menu to find a sweet drink for Charlotte to enjoy.

Much of her time at the lake party was spent wandering and observing, making sure that she had a good view on what everyone was getting up to. When the time came, Claire wanted to make sure that she was ready to act. During her surveying, she came across Lilliana sunbathing. Clearing her throat, she moved to sit down next to the other, clearly still alert. “Just wondering what you’re up to.”

Seeing Claire brought a smile on her face. “Relaxing,” she answered. “Making sure my dog don’t run off with someone that isn’t me.” Lilliana chuckled at that before she shook her head. “What are you up to?” she asked, straightening herself so she could look at Claire. She hadn’t had a chance to relax for a long time, and the lake party was just it. “Having fun?”

Charlotte was listening to her friend as she changed to something nicer. She wore a beautiful red dress, and put her shoes on, and followed the brunette, closing her door, leaving the room. ❝ I told you, that you could open a store! One day! Who knows? When the things works out for you here. ❞ She says a bit excited to go in a club to enjoy herself for the first time, without had to do meetings, or brothers not acting overprotective toward her. ❝ Feel free to introduce me some drinks. I may be weak for alcohol. ❞

A grin appeared on Lilli’s face as they walked towards the village to the club. She was so excited to go to the club and show Charlotte which drinks to get and dance. It had been so long since she’d went to the dancefloor and partied all night. “Oh I think we can find a drink you’ll really like...” she promised as the Liliac came into view.

Ausra loved a good party, especially one next to water and that didn’t involve sewing herself into a ball gown. It had taken weeks, but the rebuild was finally completed and it seemed everyone in Khatanga had shown up to the lake to celebrate. Glass of chardonnay in hand she’d been talking to anyone and everyone she came across. They all seemed to be in such good spirits and with the promise of dinner with her sister to look forward to she didn’t see how the day could get any more perfect. Saddling up to someone new she took a sip of her glass before grinning at them. “Isn’t this just great? I’m always so impressed by how even the simplest of events that the palace hosts end up so wonderful. The first one I attended was a garden party like this, crazy to think it was already over a year ago. Not gonna lie though, all that time and I still get lost in this place,” she said with a laugh. 

[lillianaxcarlisle]

Lilliana was enjoying herself-finally, she can relax and have some damn fun. The rebuilding took a while-a long time, actually-and she was glad that it was over. Now that she was partying her ass off, she barely heard what the other said as she turned to her, blinking, confused, before she got it. “Oh hell yeah, it is,” she agreed with a nod, opening her mouth to say something else before she closed it, letting the other talk. “Y-Yeah,” she agreed. “I get lost too, though I think I got it.” 

[leawxlf]

The debate on whether or not Lea wanted to go to the lake party at the castle was strong. The avalanche had already put her on edge with the chocolate shop nearly being another casualty on the wipeout list as she was just starting to get her life back together. But someone she didn’t want to see, who had just announced his engagement would be there, and the idea of bumping into him seemed to hurt more. Yet, being the town hermit, except when it came to chocolate, was getting old for someone as young as she was, and she deserved some fun too.

With a large box of chocolate in tow, just for those pesky people who were bound to bug her for the one thing she had become really good at, Lea made her way to the lake up on the hill hoping the night would be fun instead of disastrous. 

[lillianaxcarlisle]

The party was like a siren call to her-Lilliana had to go. She wanted to be there to party all night and maybe spend time with some friends before she walked along the beach with her dog. She was practically skipping when she felt the leash of her dog slip out of her and gasped as she chased after her dog, who jumped up at her, barking and wagging his tail with happiness. 

“Oh good lord, I’m so sorry!” Lilliana said quickly, gently getting her dog under control. “He’s always like this when he sees someone new. Would you like some help?”

[rebelwithacausesolveig]

Solveig’d been mostly keeping to the outskirts of the party. She’d found a nice chair in the sun and a glass of wine. With it finally warm enough to wear shorts and a crop top she was enjoying some time in the sun before shit was going to hit the fan. As someone slipped into the chair beside her she turned her head to see who’d joined her. The blonde was being careful to keep her mood light and unassuming to the many people in attendance. “At least the snow is finally gone and the sun is out. Thank Odin for that.” 

[lillianaxcarlisle]

“You can say that again,” Lilli told her friend as she sat in the chair beside her. She was calm and had a glass of margarita in her hands. She was glad that the snow was gone, and she can finally break out the shorts and crop tops-she hated the snow so much that she thought she was going to go mad seeing all that white. “Now that it’s summer time, I’m just ready for the sun and some fun around here.”

Someone else going was a win in her book. She hadn’t really known Lilliana that well, but she had seen her around, and it beat walking down to the lake alone, “Really? Would you mind if I tagged along? I’m not much for parties, but I figured if everyone else was going to have some fun, I should, too.” She smiled. “I don’t believe we’ve met. I’m Alys.” She stuck out her hand to make Lilliana’s acquaintance.

“No, not at all,” she answered with a smile back, too excited to even think about who would be at the party. Hearing the introduction made Lilli pause and took her hand and shook it. “Lilliana-and no, I don’t believe we have met.” Lilliana told her. “But most people call me Lilli for short, though honestly I don’t mind it if you call me by my full name or my nickname.”

For once, James allowed himself to relax and enjoy the event. He worked so much, so frequently, that he felt absolutely exhausted, and allowing himself a couple hours to interact with people and play games seemed like the best way to recharge. So he was out and about, observing the activities as a dog came running to him, the tail wagging happily. It was too easy to figure out whose pet he was, and so James lead the pup over to Lilliana, smiling a little at her question. “I’m guessing Liam was supposed to stay close to you?”

Hearing that familiar bark of her dog made her feel so much better. “Yes, he was,” Lilli answered with a satisfied nod and a relief of a smile on her face. ‘But he ran off before I could stop him. Thanks for bringing him back.” she scratched Liam behind the ears. “Enjoying the beach?” she asked, standing up and stretching just a bit.

Charlotte wasn’t expecting the visit of Lilliana. When the other woman arrived she was at her bed, reading a book on her pyjamas. ❝ Oh?! So, this is actually happening? ❞ She stood up from the bed, and went to pick up a nice dress for go clubbing. Once she got herself dressed, she followed Lilli. ❝ Oh, your dress is flawless! You made it? ❞ Just out of curiosity.

“Oh yeah, it’s happenin,” she answered with a nod, plopping down on the bed. “The bar is open, we’re going to go dancing, get a couple drinks, and party our asses off.” Lilly called out as she waited for her to get changed. Once she did, she looked up and nodded, standing up again and twirling around once more. “Thank you, and yep, made it myself. Took me nearly a couple weeks to do it.”
