Closed starter @unlegitimate
Location & time: Coronado Eterna event part 2
There's been longer soirées, events, meetings, you name it Giulia has seen it all, and tonight's a walk in the park. A dance, a dinner and that's it! She ponders idly about other longer evenings and the dossier she has to finish afterwards, all the while enjoying her cigarette break outside, in-between the cheese and dessert course. Applause comes from inside, Giulia can hear the beginning of Noémi's speech, the light voice muffled by closed windows. There was no imperative to hear the speech, she finishes her cigarette calmly, and heads back in the room as Noémi closes up the last slide. Polite applause leads her away from the stage.
She knows applause, and this one is forced, unenthusiastic, she can feel it instantly. The wind has changed, faces have closed behind the masks. What did Miss Diaporama do this time? She sees her dessert waiting at her seat, her table neighbors have already dug in (so rude) but she can't just join their conversation without having a clue about what else has been showed on screen, so Giulia looks around in a flash and- ah, not ideal but this will do. She glides at her nephew's side. "Andrea, what's all this about?" She points at the room in general with her chin, a discreet gesture no one but him can catch. "What did Noémi say this time, is the Football Cup cancelled?"
