FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Wysteria
RECIPIENT: Everyone
NOTES: A very heartfelt announcement. No shenanigans here, no siree.

[The sun is—well, not quite shining as it is rather very overcast. The birds are—shrieking is really more in line with what the seagulls swooping about the Gallows do. But at least Wysteria Poppell is this morning at her most aggressively bright:]

Good Morning, Riftwatch. This is Miss Wysteria Poppell with a very brief but quite happy announcement.

For those of you who are not otherwise engaged outside the Gallows on the date in question, I should like to cordially invite you on Summerday to bring your best clothes and join the company which will be travelling from here to Edlingham Hall in the Vinmark foothills.

Warden Andrasteia has helped to arrange a very lively party there. We will be camping in the ruin overnight, and expect to engage in all the usual dancing and playing of music and general revelry which is typical in celebration of myself and Monsieur de Foncé's most sincere wedding vows.

Gifts are not unwelcome, but are hardly necessary; we wish only to celebrate our most enduring happiness with anyone who should care to share it. Thank you in advance for all your kind words and congratulations.

All of us?

As I believe the adage goes, the more the merrier.

[exequy]

We do not say that in Nevarra.

[heirring]

Well. If the concept is so foreign, merely accept it as a succinct explanation as to my views on hospitality.

[ A heavy sigh to accompany his inaudible eye rolling. Why doesn't anyone understand when he's joking. (Surely not because his face and voice remain exactly the same as when he isn't.) ]

There will be drinks, right?

[heirring]

And one fewer hand to do battle for them.

[exequy]

Surely he will allow you to continue drinking.

[heirring]

I realize you are very above it all, but could you not simply stoop in order to accept the kindness?

Congratulations on your completely unregrettable choices. And thank you for the invitation to come sleep on the ground in the mountains.

[heirring]

Thank you and you are most welcome. I hope to see you there, Enchanter.

[exequy]

I—

[ Hold still and let him pick a fight with you. ]




Maybe.

[heirring]

Good.

[She's an engaged woman now; petty squabbles with scoundrel rakes are beneath her now.]

I believe I even saw a lovely patch of clover when the Warden and I investigated the Hall. So it will not even be all rocks for sleeping on.
