There’s something far more brilliant about the palace than what could be considered the norm; the insides lit up with brilliant shades of gold, the warm lighting bathing the pavement of the front steps - beckoning the elite inwards, and to the gathering inside.
You see, the thing about Camille, is that, she won’t waste any excuse to show off her wealth, and parade her social status. And she most certainly won’t miss the state-wide Celebration of Life event! Not for anything. In fact it’s for this purpose that Camille finds herself ordering about an extra-hefty staff, coaxing the palace into some state of grandeur.
The castle has been rearranged for a night like this. Extra light fixtures have been hung from both ceiling and mounted upon the walls, all blazing a near brilliant shade of gold. It’s a warm sort of color, the feelings which stirs are most certainly not well-associated with the land’s fine empress. On the other hand - it’s another symbol of the young Miss Ipres’ wealth and power. In addition to the excess lighting, new window treatments have been hung, a simplistic sort of gauzy fabric, specifically tailored so the soft lighting may well through even when closed. They’re filmy to the touch, a deep crimson in color, trimmed with thin and glassy beads to weight them down.
Oh, but don’t for a moment think that Camille’s re-decoration has stopped at a few extra lighting fixtures and window treatments! Countless tables have been brought into the main forum, and arranged in a pleasant manner, each spread just-so, in order for an easy flow of various stewards and servants to flow past with minimal disturbance. The majority of these tables are pressed outwards and toward the walls of the grand forum, offering ample room for a dance floor, along side space for a small string band to grace the attendees with a variety of tunes, from dance numbers when the night is young, to more soothing sounds as the date wears on.
Meals will be served, family style, hand cooked by the palace staff themselves. The planned menu consists of a small number of single-bite appetizers, appealing to all pallets. From thereon the main course will be served, brought to the table and settled down family style by the wait staff; braised venison and potatoes, both found on the castle grounds. From thereon dessert will consist of a rich red velvet cake. Various wines will be served throughout the night, reds, and whites, whatever may satisfy the palate.
Be prepared to rub elbows with the most elite of the elite, all will be in attendance, from Camille to her right hand women, and down the line. Needless to say there are some reservations concerning your attendance. The number one would be attire. It’s all too obvious that the theme colors are warm golds and reds, and all Empress Camille asks of you, is that you simply adhere to that warm color pallet. Keep in mind the Empress’ guards will not be afraid to simply turn you away at the door if you do not adhere to that strict standard.
Despite Camille’s vanities, this night is all about the people, and what they have to offer to the country, so most of all, enjoy yourself. Drink till merry, and dance until your feet hurt. Simply mingle, and have a good time.
