Detention - 10/4 - Saturday morning

On the door, then names were written.

Amber Atkins
Myn Donos
Claire Fisher
Peyton Sawyer
John Sheppard
Cal Stephanides
Eric van der Woodsen

Abby Irene had been working most of the evening in the Danger Shop and so her hair was a little bit out of sorts as the students walked in. Smiling, she straightened it with her hand before looking over the assembled.

"It seems that you young ladies and gentleman have proven to be unable to conduct yourselves properly in an academic setting. Thankfully, we are not living in my day and age and have been provided this lovely educational tool with which to perhaps correct as opposed to simply punishing such behavior."

"You will be attending a small party from my own world and it will be your duty to act as fits the circumstances."

Mingle with the Guests / Have a few hors d'oeuvres

[identity profile] brandyforapples.livejournal.com 2008-10-04 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
There are others, here, ladies and gentleman in beautiful, decadent clothing. Servers, dressed more plainly but still quite smart, wandered around with plates of hors d'oeuvres of the completely moddable variety.

Peter Elliot, Lord Mayor of New Amsterdam

He wandered around the hall greeting guests smiling and being a rather standard politician. He was dressed exceedingly well, if somewhat somberly.

If she had to do this, at least she was going to mingle with the handsome men. So, she smiled and nodded at the incredibly attractive older man

He smiled and nodded back, though there was suspicion in his eyes.

"I don't believe we've met," she said politely. "I'm Peyton."

Ceceilia Elliot

[identity profile] brandyforapples.livejournal.com 2008-10-04 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
The mayor's wife was dressed beautifully in a green gown that offset the copper highlights of her hair. She was somewhat younger than him, though not as young as she appeared, and was well-liked in New Amsterdam. It was obvious enough as she made her way between social groups, smiling and waving to everyone at least once.

Claire had no idea what she was doing at a party like this, and the lace edging her collar and cuffs itched. She looked fidgety and on the verge of miserable, but she managed a greeting nod to the woman who seemed to be with the mayor.

Ceceilia made her way over when she parted from her husband's company. He wished to talk to that terrible little Simon LeMarque, a sorcerer she would have been glad to see the last of.

Noticing the girl was uncomfortable, she bowed her head in sympathy.

"Does the weather trouble you? I would recommend some of the wine, red as the host has terrible taste in white since he leaves it to his wife."

"The wine is good?" Claire perked up slightly. She preferred white, but she would take what she could get. "It's not so much the weather, I'm just not used to parties like this."

It was naturally the red hair that caught Cal's attention, and the refined clothes he was wearing certainly put him into a certain role. At a point of catching the mayor's wife's smile-and-wave, he lifted his glass, nodded, and took a sip.

She made her way over soon enough, her smile now just for him and somewhat more warm.

"A new young man in the city," she said with a brief chuckle, "I'm terribly upset to not know who you might be."

"I could say the same about you." Put a guy in a vest, tight pants, and a tie, and suddenly he though himself dashing. "Cal Stephanides," he offered. "I'm not from around these parts, so you'll have to forgive me for having to ask the same of you, ma'am."

A Handsome Young Man

[identity profile] brandyforapples.livejournal.com 2008-10-04 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
A handsome young man stood near the corner and sipped at his wine with a pensive expression.

John got himself a snack and stood off to the side, noticing he wasn't the only one in the room avoiding actual mingling.

Re: A Handsome Young Man

[identity profile] brandyforapples.livejournal.com 2008-10-04 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
The young man's eyes turned sharply to John as he approached before sliding back across the room. He sipped at his wine before stepping a touch closer.

"Good evening," he said evenly.

A Serving Girl

[identity profile] brandyforapples.livejournal.com 2008-10-04 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
A serving girl came around with drinks and food. She was busy, but friendly.

On the one hand, Eric had been trained to recognise those in power, those in authority, and to approach them for network purposes, to make oneself seem greater by their presence -- or to make them seem greater by one's own. One was a van der Woodsen, after all.

On the other hand, he really, really hated that kind of stuff. "Hi," he said, softly, to the serving girl as she came by.

Re: A Serving Girl

She turned, eyes a little wide as she swung to offer her tray of treats.

"Sir," and her eyes were downcast.

Duke Richard of New Amsterdam

[identity profile] brandyforapples.livejournal.com 2008-10-04 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Duke Richard had his own social circle on one side of the hall. His position was a strange one: representative of the Crown and Duke of New Amsterdam, of course, but for those who felt New Amsterdam did not need a representative of the Crown, and even in some cases a Duke, certain relations were strained.

This gentleman's appearance caught Amber's eye and she wandered closer, obviously staring though absolutely trying to appear as though she weren't.

Re: Duke Richard of New Amsterdam

He was a handsome man of some age with light hair worn down for the evening. When he caught her eye, he smiled to her thoughtfully.

Duchess Jacqueline

[identity profile] brandyforapples.livejournal.com 2008-10-04 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Duke Richard's wife was dressed the finest of those here, as befit her station as Duchess. Jacqueline reveled in it, though not immodestly so, and was a shining jewel of loveliness, appreciated wherever she went.

Simon LeMarque

[identity profile] brandyforapples.livejournal.com 2008-10-04 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
A well-made young man with dark hair and deep blue eyes is circling around the room, watching.

What? Well, just about everyone.

Oh and there was another one! Peyton smiled invitingly at him.

Simon looked across the room to her thoughtfully before glancing at Mayor Elliot once. Then he moved towards her and bowed his head in greeting.

"Miss," he greeted her quietly.
