Bloody Days Mini Event ‘Goddesses at Hampton Court’
𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟓𝟓𝟗: I bid thee a most hearty welcome to attend a spectacle of both grandeur and splendor...
Join King William and his court for our first Bloody Days mini event, Goddesses at Hampton Court, and witness a spectacle of sensualism, majesty, and pageantry as the fair ladies of the palace don their finest robes and laurel wreathes. Invoking the spirits of Athena, Demeter, and Aphrodite, they swish across the stage with light-footed grace, tossing figs and favours into the riotous crowds, drinking from fountains bubbling forth with sweet wine. With magnificent torches in hand and cloth-of-gold canopies swaying above their heads, all those in attendance shall summon the immortal spirits of the Greek pantheon, each styling themselves as a particular figure of mythology as they revel in the half-divine presence of the court’s silk-strewn, flowing goddesses. The Great Hall itself embellished with Greek motifs – the gilded trident, mighty thunderbolts, and bows and arrows crafted from sugar – King William’s palace is a sight to behold, glowing amber as it sprawls along the river’s banks. But keep your eyes peeled, and your sights bright: for rarely, in this court of splendor and treachery, is anything what it appears ...
OOC Details:
Please make sure to assign your muse a particular god or goddess on our Google Doc sheet (linked in the Discord server). As a mini event, there will be no specific start or end date, so write until your hearts content – but beware the machinations of a masochistic admin team... >:O
Event-related challenge:
While not obligatory, we encourage members to post their characters' attire for the evening, as well as any insight into their role in the pageant! As a reminder, this is a ladies-led challenge, with men being the spectators and not the architects behind such splendour.
