Lady Kaia's Totally NOT forced Tea Party...

So, once more, Lady Kaia is hosting one of those lovely tea parties where both known and unknown socialites come to partake in delicious finger foods, tasty treats and sweets from the skilled Master baker in Arx, Lottie, as well as to enjoy a rich and warm cup of tea served in those extremely fancy and expensive porcelain cups.

She is totally not being forced to host this, by one of the invited, to keep them from disclosing a secret. No sir. This was totally natural...like the many other parties before!

Dedicated invitations have been sent out for those she had at a point or another invited over, but everyone is welcome! Come socialize! Meet new people or catch up with those you haven't seen in a while!

Comments and Log


"Hello everyone and welcome once more to the Bisland estate. ~" greets Kaia cheerfully, before adding. "Please, make yourselves comfortable. There's plenty of tea and treats to enjoy. We shall be playing a little dice game soon, and perhaps if you are feeling a little bit more daring you can pull someone out for a dance. ~" she suggests, after having them know what shall be expected.

Zoey lounges on a couch, having arrived early for her sister's event. She sips her tea and watches the other guests come in.

Thea ventures inside, dressed in well..her leathers. She was busy talking and things and forgot to change. Hopefully Kaia wont notice. Yeah. Right. Thea bows her head in greeting, a smile,"Hello."

Peri strides in to the garden with a distracted air. She takes to the tea table where she can plop down her work. Sigh.

Peri has joined the a pair of pale wrought iron tea table sets with plush seating.

Kaia beams as she takes a seat and glances at her sister and friends. In her hand are three golden dices. "So, ladies!~ Ready for a game of Triple Toss?" she asks.

Zoey raises an eyebrow. "It's been a while. Can you remind me of the rules?

Thea asks Kaia,"How do you play?"

Peri hasn't finished deploying her work to the table. Triple Toss sounds fun. She nods her head over to Zoey and Thea so as to say, 'yeah, what they said.'

Kaia smiles. "Ah, yes we would play five rounds. Toss 3 dice. Set aside the highest number. Then, roll the other two. Set aside the highest of those two. Then roll a last time. Sum up the numbers to obtain a final score, and then, the one with the highest number wins the round. We repeat the process five times. The one to win the most rounds is the victor and gets to take home a delicious treat!" she explains.

Thea lifts her eyebrow at Kaia,"You went to Lottie's didn't you,"an accusation there but one of teasing.

Peri holds out a hand for dice. "That treat is doomed!"

"I'm in!" Zoey declares.

Kaia's cheeks turn slightly pink and she chuckles. "You think I made all these delicious swets all by myself?" she asks in the same teasing tone, before giving Thea a wink. "She's the best! Her sweets are so good! I hear the new seasonal treats have already been set." she announces, before handing Peri the three golden dice. "Here you go, Lady Seliki. Do the honors!~"

Zoey has left the a lovely set of stained oak wood and ivory brocade chaise lounge couches.

Octavian, a silken spaniel have been dismissed.

Peri encourages her dice. "You can do it! ...and if you don't you'll be on latrine duty." She looks at everyone with a smirk.

Peri has rolled 3 7-sided dice: 2, 5, 5

Peri has rolled 2 7-sided dice: 3, 6

Perhaps a softer touch is needed with the dice. Threats don't seem to work. Peri gets a 1 on her final roll!

Thea has rolled 2 7-sided dice: 1, 3

Thea has rolled 1 7-sided dice: 4

Thea is really..well. She apparently rolls too soft. She lifts her eyebrow and twitches.

Kaia has rolled 3 7-sided dice: 1, 5, 6

Kaia has rolled 2 7-sided dice: 2, 3

Kaia has rolled 1 7-sided dice: 7

Kaia's rolls don't seem to go too bad. She gets a nice 6, followed by a not so nice 3, and a final lucky 7! Unless luck is on Zoey's side tonight, it seems the youngest Bisland may be winning this round.

Kaia says, "Aha! Your turn Zoey!"

Zoey has rolled 3 7-sided dice: 3, 7, 7

Peri checked charm + performance at difficulty 15, rolling 11 higher.

Zoey puts an Aeterna gown of Fire and Ice, a porcelain platter of buttery vanilla biscuits, 4 books, a fancy cup of tea with a saucer and teaspoon, and a light cake filled with cherry jam in a monogrammed black calfskin satchel with silk lining.

For a moment there, Zoey's first throw has Kaia sweating. Could it be that luck would betray her and favor the eldest sister instead? It certainly looked like it. Zoey rolled a lucky seven! But then...it all went downhill. For Zoey that is. She got a 2 and lastly a 4 for a total of 13! Thea and Peri reached the same score of 12;and so, the victor of the first round goes to Kaia!

Peri shakes up the dice and rolls them again. It is not looking like the Seliki will have any special treats today. She makes puppy dog eyes at Kaia. Her lips tremble. She sucks in her cheeks to make a gaunt expression. Does she look starved or like a fish?

Zoey checked luck at difficulty 15, rolling 7 higher.

Peri puts a gray and gold canvas duffel and 9 books in a black backpack with two pockets.

Thea watches Peri again. "We're tied, so I mean..I think that makes..something,"really not sure of the word she's shooting for here.

The tides of luck seem to be shifting! This time it is Thea who proves to be in favor of the dice with a shining 20! Kaia following closely with an 18. Zoey gets a score of 16, while Peri...well it seems the Seliki won't be getting near to those treats at this rate. She only gets a point higher than the previous round, a 13. It's a sad day for the Seliki's...

Luck is not with Peri. She frowns at the results. At least there are other treats. While she rolls, she chats about current events. "Does anyone know what happened to all teh dragonweep?"

Kaia says, "I truly, have no clue. A most curious thing isn't it? I did hear someone bought a lot of it recently though...maybe that's the reason?"

"All I know is there is no way I'll ever afford one now," laments Zoey.

Luck is most peculiar thing. For a moment there it seemed like Zoey would win this round with an outstanding and likely unbeatable 19! But then, surprise! Kaia also got a 19 and so the round comes to a draw for the sisters. With Thea getting an average 14 and Peri, well, Peri got a ten. Hopefully her luck will change soon!

Luck goes Zoey's way! She gets an outstanding score of 18! Thea and Peri end this round in a draw with scores of 17. While Kaia comes in last with a score of 14. Hey, at least Peri didn't come in last this time!

According to her dice, Peri might owe Kaia a treat.

Thea comes in the victor of the fifth round! Now it seems three of our ladies have won two rounds each. To determine the final victor, one last round shall be played. Who will emerge the victor? Who will take home the delicious treat?!

Kaia chuckles at the results. "I feel the dice are playing with us...I'm sure the gods are amused."

"They might be," Zoey grins. "One more round?"

Thea just stares at the dice,"Honestly...I dont have this kind of luck..ever.

Kaia laughs and nods at her sister. "Seems we have no choice! After you, darling sister.~" she says, gesturing for her sister to take her final rolls.

Octavian, a silken spaniel have been dismissed.

Well in the end the host is in truth slightly shocked to have been the victor. "Well, this seems slightly unfair! Isn't luck quite the jester?" she asks amused. Then, she stands to take hold of the some treats. A Mixed Fruit and Pistachio Bundt Cake, a bag of Honeyed Figs and a lemon bar. "Well ladies, you've done so well playing against me! Choose your poison!" she says, placing the three options before them.

Kaia drops Mixed Fruit and Pistachio Bundt Cake.

Kaia drops a bag of Honeyed Figs.

Kaia drops Lemon Bar.

Peri laughs at Kaia's win. "We should have a rematch later." She eyes the treats Kaia sets out for everyone. "That lemon bar looks lovely. Any takers?"

Thea smiles a bit at Peri,"You take the bars and I'll take the cake?"

3 Iron Guardsmen, Hildebrandt, Sir Struttington, Esquire Messenger Peacock, Lyros, Clifford, the cliff diving pygmy goat arrive, following Michael.

Kaia chuckles. "Very well then! Delicious Honeyed Figs for my lovely sister then! Got to keep the little one healthy after all!" she teases.

"Which do you want?" Peri asks Kaia.

3 Iron Guardsmen, Hildebrandt, Sir Struttington, Esquire Messenger Peacock, Lyros, Clifford, the cliff diving pygmy goat leave, following Michael.

Peri takes Lemon Bar.

Thea takes Mixed Fruit and Pistachio Bundt Cake.

Kaia takes a bag of Honeyed Figs.

Kaia hands a bag of Honeyed Figs to Zoey.

And, so, the night continues with laughter, treats and lots of terrible dancing. Also...tea...they drank a lot of it...even when none of it was ever mentioned. Yes.

Thea..Thea snuck in alcohol in her tea..
