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.

Someone has shown you the griffons already, yes?

Hell, Riftwatch must be important if they've got a whole flock. They find these somewhere?

Anybody here managed it yet?

Trying to decide between scouting and soldiering. I'm kinda somewhere in between. What do you think?

What kinds of things do people wear to weddings out here?

Do you have anything that's like... pants?
no subject
no subject
So that's a no.
no subject
No. I have no trousers.
[Imagine.]
But there are a few ladies in Riftwatch who do wear them. You might ask, ah... Derrica, I believe. Or, oh! Madame Silver. Oh you must ask her. She is always dressed so dashingly. They are both similar to our height, I think.
no subject
[A small laugh backs the word.]
I know Derrica, who's Madame Silver?
no subject
[Obviously.]
She is rather reserved, but in the way which is mysterious and respectable and I trust her to be secretly audacious for she is a [lowered voice, in deference to Mister Silver's famous habit for maneuvering about having the role assigned so blatantly to him:] pirate of the northern seas and primarily keeps only their company.
no subject
... okay, I have got to meet her. Is she part of Riftwatch or anything?
no subject
Indeed she is. She arrived last fall preceding what I believe to have been the tragic loss of the island which I believe they all considered their base of operations in the north to the Venatori. I believe she is part of the Diplomacy division, as is her husband.
no subject
I'll- keep an eye out for her. But I'll try to make friends before I mention borrowing her clothes.
