chalcedony: the saddest my muse has ever been - chalcopyrite: how my muse deals with ending relationships - charoite: who my muse looks up to

OOC: 

Chalcedony

Freddie was eight when his nanny - the only mother he had ever really known, and the only source of love and affection in his life, other than Ollie - left him without ever saying goodbye, and to this day he can’t adequately articulate the devastation he felt. 

Chalcopyrite

Is ‘not well’ too vague an answer? lol When Freddie’s relationships with both Elizabeth and Ruby ended, he dealt with the loss in fundamentally the same way he’s always dealt with loss and pain - he did his best to avoid it in every way that he could. With Elizabeth, this was made easier by the fact that she left Soapberry shortly after they broke up; but with Ruby, as they were still living together and things were much more complicated, avoidance of his feelings was very much harder to manage, and he ran away to stay with Iann in the immediate aftermath, hiding there until Ephram had had enough and brought him home again. But as he’s doing much better at acknowledging, confronting, and processing his feelings now (it’s a slow progression lol), and now that some time has passed, he’s very hopeful that he and Ruby can be part of each other’s lives as friends - which is indicative of some growth, I think.

Charoite

No-one, particularly. Freddie very much respects and admires a number of people, for a number of very different reasons, but, arrogant thing that he is, there’s no-one he would say he really ‘looks up’ to, or wants to emulate.

Unlike other occasions celebrated at the Savin estate which are typically held and hosted within the grand ballroom, the upcoming surprise celebration for Elizabeth Bell’s successful acceptance into university is instead being hosted in the estate’s gardens and grounds. This is both due to the arrival of summer and also the slightly more casual nature of the affair.

Guests upon arrival will be invited down from the circular driveway past the front doors and down a set of adjacent stairs into the expansive gardens (painstakingly decorated with numerous white fairy lights) towards the outdoors kitchen where a buffet and barbecue will run serving a wide variety of items including a selection of vegetarian items for guests to enjoy. There are plenty of drinks stands around (as this is a Savin event the bar is an open one) serving both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages to keep guests hydrated along with a firepit for those more inclined to roast some marshmallows.

Throughout the night various live bands from the town’s music scene and later a DJ have been invited to play and are known to take requests so that guests can sing, dance and socialise to their heart’s content. For those less inclined to show off their moves on the floor, several seating areas have also been made available.

Please note: Dad dancing is discouraged but by no means prohibited and it is encouraged to dress in blue and yellow as these are UC’s colours.

OOC Note: Like usual these events are open-ended, this is simply a scene setter for the event itself. Feel free to use the town chatzy for multiple character interactions or if you’d prefer to write threads on the dash utilising the Savin Residence gardens as a venue for your own threads then that is also fine. The actual residence itself for this occasion is shut but there are plenty of things out and about in the gardens to explore: large chess sets, ponds, a swimming pool, stables, rose gardens, various other culturally styled gardens (English, French and Italian are predominant) with plenty of topiary, fountains and statues around as decoration.

If you have any questions about the event or the estate feel free to send them over, and most importantly have fun!

Town Chatzy

slurred words

“Oh my goddddd, I love Lizzie– Bell … Lady Holmes?? Whatever! Bell is gREAT, okay? She’s so smart and clever and pulls off a pretty damn good London accent for disguising purposes. She’s so cool and she’s willing to put up with all my criminally stuff which is like amazing and ugh – I just really wanna be her friend but like–??? She’s a private investigator? So I dunno what she thinks of me bein’ on the darker side o’ town an’ all and I don’t wanna be pushy…”

slurred words

“Okay, Elizabeth Bell seems like the type that knows everyone else’s shit, like she’s got dirt on everyone in town and just keeps it to herself. She probably has one of those Mean Girls burn books on all of us and just cackles over it with a gluestick and flair-pens while writing down all our secrets. Also I think her dog can fucking talk if it wanted to. Maybe her dog runs the Bugle, oh my god.”

take a look at the house you built in your empty spaces. yes, it keeps out the rain, and the wind. yes, it is two stories solid; it is all stone and scaffolding. but what did you forget? where did you put the windows? where do you let the sunlight in?

Freddie goes back and forth between "happy with commitment" and "a polyamorous life is the only reasonable one."

Accuracy: 0%

OOC: This is inaccurate based on a bit of a technicality. haha 

Freddie has learned, through the pain and misadventure of things falling apart with both Elizabeth and Ruby, that he is woefully incapable of a polyamorous relationship - at least where Ephram Pettaline is concerned. His love for Ephram is of a breed and a strength that makes it impossible for him to love another person with the same ferocity or wherewithal - and that, he feels, isn’t fair within a polyamorous relationship. Especially since he wants be first in Ephram’s heart as well.What Freddie can share without so much as a second thought is a lover’s body. To him, sex is an enjoyable physical act that only carries any weight when shared with someone of tremendous importance; so a sexually exclusive relationship isn’t something he’s cut out for - but an exclusive emotional commitment is a very different thing.
