Someone wearing a thick Curiosity blindfold is guided in, right to the table where Anticipation already - appropriately - waits.

Someone wearing a thick Envy blindfold has joined the an Envy and Satisfaction gossamer lace canopy.

The servants know how this goes by this point, and peope are brought from the audience hall into the ballroom wearing their blindfolds, each assisted by someone towards the direction of their small private area. Each area has been crafted to form a small secluded oasis with pillows surrounding a short table, the entire area draped within gossamer cloth. Outside of each canopy is a personal assistant to the couple beneath the cloth, bells tied to their ankles to indicate their presence at all times it there is any need for assistance from the blindfolded pair. Jaenelle calls out as people are being sat, "we shall figure out who is here in a moment, just sit and enjoy the cushions for the time being as drinks are served."

Someone wearing a thick Surprise blindfold saunters in like he owns the place. Saunter. Saunter. When no one can see one can totally saunter. And Trip. And Stumble. And with a thunk he is lead to where he is supposed to be.

Jaxon, Champion of the Reflection, Bruiser, a merle teacup chihuahua wearing a diamond collar, Slaine, a wallflower, Rex, a large blue cane corso mastiff arrive, following Someone wearing a thick Amazement blindfold.

Someone wearing a thick Intrigue blindfold escorts Courage in, her hand tucked neatly into the crook of his harm and his hand resting atop hers. There's a murmured consultation with the servants and then they're led to their seating. He bows his head so he can speak softly to his much shorter companion, a touch of amusement to the low tone, following their guides with trust as well. Though he still seems to know how long to wait for her to be settled, before he claims a place under the canopy as well.

Someone wearing a thick Bliss blindfold is very much not used to trusting people, but she's here. Being led to her seat. "If I fall.."she murmurs, relieved when she's seated.

Someone wearing a thick Calm blindfold walks in with the assistance of a servant, her feet barely making a sound as she cautiously makes her way to the canopy under their guidance. Once there, she seats herself upon a cushion, getting comfortable and acquainted to her temporary lack of sight while she waits.

Someone wearing a thick Patience blindfold allows herself to be led in while taking careful steps alongside her designated servant escort. The only sound from her is the soft pad-pad-pad of her silk slippers over the ballroom floor. Until she reaches the table. Then there is a sound of surprised confusion as she tries to arrange herself neatly upon the unseen seat.

One of the participants none of you can see simply yelps a swear after loud thump of sorts. It's swift and there appears no cause for lingering concern.

There's a meekness about the way that person in the mystified blindfold allows himself to be led to his table. He smiles not quite in the direction of the person who has led him there after investigating the seat with one hand and then settling carefully in.

Someone wearing a thick Amusement blindfold is guided with his companion to, presumably, a table or couch. Yes, the cushions and carving suggest couch? He reaches carefully in front of him to find a table. Finds the servant's hip. "Pardon."

There hasn't been any attempt to dress differently or to hide who he is, they're wearing blindfolds after all, and as long as it's the same person that put the blindfold on out in the hall... Turning in each step with smile, not that anyone can see the smile. Bells singing out softly as he holds Compssion's hand and together they are led to a table. Attempting to whisper is left with some pieces getting muddled to others as they made their way.

Someone wearing a thick Serenity blindfold mutters, "... first ... ... I ... ... few ... second got ... completely messy, then ... ... with for the third one. ... think ... ... the ... now. I ... ... ... break something ... I am to ... ... the food at the ... ... ... ... ... it could ... considered just a ... ... And that just ..."

Someone wearing a thick Envy blindfold appreciates the assistance, familiar with this routine, a soft murmur of gratitude deliver to the servant. Her heels click quietly on her way to her seat, past the silken canopy. It takes her a moment to settle, to get her bearings at the table, issuing a nod for her helper once she's settled. When her curious, "Hello?" goes unanswered, nobody waiting for her just yet, she relaxes a little. Some time to settle in, get comfortable.

Someone wearing a thick Compassion blindfold keeps a hold of Serenity's hand as they converse quietly. Trusting that Serenity knows what they are doing or you know there will be trip ups. Either way not that anyone is looking there's a smile that crosses her features as she listens to him and they are lead to where their own private table is for the night.

Someone wearing a thick Amazement blindfold has joined the an Amazement and Mystified gossamer lace canopy.

"Thank you very kindly!" lilts a distinctly Lycene-tinged female voice from the entryway as she takes the elbow of a servant, who escorts her to her seat and ushers her under the canopy with a hand on her back. She settles on her side of the table, melting into the plush cushions like a cat in a pool of sunshine. "Hellooo?" she calls inquisitively to whoever may or may not occupy the other side, her voice dropping too low for others to hear thereafter.

Someone wearing a thick Adoration blindfold is escorted in with the help of a servant, holding onto the arm as she carefully walks along to where she will be seated for dinner. She breaths deeply and there is a smile that is spreading on her lips as she feels fore where she is to sit and slowly settles onto a cousin. "Thank you." she says to the one who brought her to the table. "Good evening." she says in a soft voice to whom ever sits with her under the gossamer canopy.

Someone wearing a thick Anticipation blindfold responds on the higher end of a baritone, a well designed voice that holds notes delectably, "No, not exactly. I have been waiting with some level of anticipation." There's a playful increase in his tone which suggests he might be smiling and such a smile would be seen if they were not blindfolded. There is no guessing that the voice belongs to a male, though one that is practiced to make their words sound silken.

Someone wearing a thick Courage blindfold has little in the way of hesitation when she and her companion are led towards the waiting canopy; as if she's used to walking around blindfolded, which would be just odd. Or maybe she's just that confident, her steps echoing with certainty as there seems to be metal somewhere on her shoes. Once settled though, she seems quite content to relax against the cushions. "Bets on whether someone trips before things begin?"

Someone wearing a thick Agony blindfold steps in. As the blindfolded Agony enters, led at the elbow by a servant, the clinking symphony of metal muffled underneath velvet can be heard. Each step taken is a measured, deliberate movement as Agony is silent. They are led to where they need to go.

Jaenelle has joined the a Patience and Jealousy gossamer lace canopy.

Someone wearing a thick Amusement blindfold stretches and burrows into the cushions, walking his fingers across the seat to where his partner sits, tap, tap, tapping on her knee. He turns his hand palm up and, triangulating from her knee, guesses where one of her hands will be, to take. He can hear the muted bells of the attendant and nods his head, "Thank you."

Someone wearing a thick Satisfaction blindfold has joined the an Envy and Satisfaction gossamer lace canopy.

Someone wearing a thick Mystified blindfold laughs, suddenly, at something that his companion says to him.

Someone wearing a thick Adoration blindfold looks to the hand on her knee he may not be able to tell but she is grinning, her finger tips moving to trace a small circle in the palm of his hand before taking it and holding it in return. She scoots over slightly so she can be closer to her partner, drink oh what shall she have. "I think I am in the mood for wine and you?" she asks of her partner in a soft voice.

Someone wearing a thick Infatuation blindfold has joined the a Patience and Jealousy gossamer lace canopy.

Jaenelle has left the a Patience and Jealousy gossamer lace canopy.

Someone wearing a thick Amazement blindfold laughs at her partner's comment as she mimes feeling around the table.

The host takes a moment to make sure everyone is settled, and once it seems people are, her voice once more travels throughout the room as a chorus of bells ring out to indicate servants are on the move. "The first course is a bite of smoked roe served with shaved green apple and watermelon radish. For those who have not been here before, allow me to explain your evening. All food will be bite sized for a reason, it is expected that you enjoy each with every other sense you have. It is also expected that you feed the person across from you. Allow yourself to share this experience with another person. Enjoy this moment, this small time with another person as you both sit there having to trust another."

"It's amusing that they have bells on... Oh that sounds amazing... Just... um..." A few clinks of dishes then the tell tale crash of a wine glass, "See. I said breaking things..." Then calling out to the room, "Sorry!"

Someone wearing a thick Compassion blindfold is heard laughing when a wine glass crashes and other sounds of dishes clinking from their table. Someone is amused.

Stormbringer, the Highhill War Hound arrives, following Someone wearing a thick Vengeful blindfold.

Someone wearing a thick Amusement blindfold is!

Someone wearing a thick Patience blindfold has thus far managed not to make a comp

As the first bite is shared with the tables, there is another indicator that the second plate is arriving to each pair. A small glass of wine specifically picked to go with the second course is served carefully in delicate glasses without stems that can wobble but never tip. The servants have learned their mistakes and will not go through that again. "The second plate is a charred cherry tomato wrapped in cheese and drizzled with a pesto balsamic reduction. The chef has stated that it is best to shove the entire thing in your partner's mouth at once so all the flavors can combine with the bite. I dont know how true that is, or if he is making things up and was annoyed I asked for an entire meal of bite sized things again."

Someone wearing a thick Infatuation blindfold is sitting across from Patience and is chatting agreeably before seeking out the plates as instructed.

Someone wearing a thick Patience blindfold has thus far managed not to make a complete fool of herself or her newly arrived partner. She can be heard explaining the rules to the person across from her.

Someone wearing a thick Curiosity blindfold can be heard murmuring to an attendant - something about help moving around the table to sit closer before tasting. Someone -has- learned a bit from repeated visits to the Feast.

Someone wearing a thick Bliss blindfold can be heard choking laughing from the table. She hurries to find her drink, clearing her throat.

"HUNK!" Comes a loud excited exclamation. From where? Ha! Wouldn't you like to know.

Someone wearing a thick Infatuation blindfold snickers and chortles, carefully taking a morsel from the careful fingers of Patience.

Someone wearing a thick Satisfaction blindfold has left the an Envy and Satisfaction gossamer lace canopy.

Someone wearing a thick Patience blindfold wonders, "Shove?" She is questioning the chef's advice. "Surely he means 'place delicately'?"

Someone wearing a thick Infatuation blindfold says, "Watch whoever's feeding him have worse aim blind. He tried shoving which was then reciprocating and he'll be rinsing dinner from his nostrils for days."

Someone wearing a thick Amusement blindfold snorts, "We were just remarking about noses here."

There's a little squirt of tomato juice and seeds that erupts from the Courage and Intrigue lace canopy when someone obviously doesn't close their mouth fast enough for the second course. Hopefully it doesn't hit anyone on its trajectory. There's also a cough, something between a choke of dismay and mortified amusement.

Someone wearing a thick Courage blindfold suddenly laughs out loud, despite what has otherwise been only quiet discussion. And then laughs again at the coughing. She's the //worst//. Clearly.

SPOONS! Each person is given a spoon and a single dish of something frozen is placed by bell wearing people. "Limoncello granita. Is it alcohol? Is it dessert? I enjoy it regardless and we should not label things when they are enjoyable. Unless you wish to be labeled." This is the third course.

Someone wearing a thick Patience blindfold sounds horrified as she says, "I would rather not have dinner in my nose! I had a cousin stuff a spring onion in his nose when we were children, he said it burned." A pause. "I imagine a tomato, would, too."

Someone wearing a thick Adoration blindfoldgiggles softly when noses are mentioned.

Someone wearing a thick Agony blindfold sings something in a low tone to Calm, a few words can be heard from a line. " ...misty dreams over forested spires, a gaze that kindles the coldest of fires."

Someone wearing a thick Infatuation blindfold chuckles "That is why my hands are questing and not shoving. I can't promise not to get some in your nose but I can promise your eyes and ears are safe which MAY put you in better company than some."

Someone wearing a thick Anticipation blindfold is more on the quiet side, keeping his velvet words for his companion alone. Although there was some mention of travel and trade coming from undreneath the gossemar lace canopy in which he shares with Curiosity blindfold.

Someone wearing a thick Satisfaction blindfold has left the an Envy and Satisfaction gossamer lace canopy.

Someone wearing a thick Satisfaction blindfold has joined the an Envy and Satisfaction gossamer lace canopy.

"Ahhaha... That's cold... Wait." A pause while a few soft bells sing out, "Ok. try again."

Someone wearing a thick Patience blindfold can be heard murmuring an apology before saying, "I have a feeling that, no matter how hard one tries, they will not enjoy the taste of limoncello in their ears."

Someone wearing a thick Compassion blindfold tries to chuckle. Kind of hard to do when one has ice in their mouth. Poor Serenity.

Someone wearing a thick Infatuation blindfold laughs "I'd just be impressed by anyone who could taste with their ears." She reaches out carefully, places finger tips up over Patience's mouth, parts them and then slowly and carefully ushering the spoon in.

After the limoncello granita is served, and most likely eaten or melted, and since no one complained about being spooned, the next plate is passed out to the diners. A piece of pork belly and scallops with charred green onions and pink peppercorns with a ginger citrus sauce. It is the opposite of cold. "The green onions were not meant to be charred, but I think the chef got them too close to the fire when he was doing the tomatoes."

Someone wearing a thick Astonished blindfold ineptly smooshes Delighted's face with an open hand, searching for their mouth before feeding it.

Someone wearing a thick Patience blindfold makes a startled sound, obviously having forgotten that frozen means cold.

Someone wearing a thick Amazement blindfold clutches her head quickly and makes a tiny squealing sound. BRAIN FREEZE. She grips the table until it passes.

Someone wearing a thick Mystified blindfold's demeanor, previously polite and a little bit detached, turns concerned and solicitous on a dime. "Are you alright?"

"I've suddenly gotten a little bit of a headache. I thought it'd subside but it's lingering." Amazement rises from her seat, holding onto the table to keep herself steady. "I think I may need to lie down."

Someone wearing a thick Bliss blindfold is asking already,"Is everything alright?"

Someone wearing a thick Mystified blindfold rises a beat later, and finds Amazment's hand with his. "Let me take you out to get some air."

Someone wearing a thick Amazement blindfold has left the an Amazement and Mystified gossamer lace canopy.

Jaxon, Champion of the Reflection, Bruiser, a merle teacup chihuahua wearing a diamond collar, Slaine, a wallflower, Rex, a large blue cane corso mastiff leave, following Someone wearing a thick Amazement blindfold.

Someone wearing a thick Mystified blindfold has left the an Amazement and Mystified gossamer lace canopy.

Someone wearing a thick Infatuation blindfold holds still and opens her mouth, palms braced on the table top like she's a hostage or something.

As the bells ring drinks are refilled and plates are cleared from the tables, another is brought out. "This next dish is coffee and dark chocolate rubbed duck breast. The flavors are beautifully dark and rich, which compliment the meat perfectly. The chef is very proud of this one, and hopes you all enjoy it as well."

Someone wearing a thick Adoration blindfold continues to help feed her partner as they seem to be sitting close and speaking softly to one another as they feed each other the small bites of food.

Someone wearing a thick Patience blindfold has only just gotten the pork belly fed to Infatuation when the duck is coming out. She's moving glacially, maybe, trying to actually feed her partner instead of create a mess for the servants.

Someone wearing a thick Infatuation blindfold takes the next course and leans across the table, feeling for Patience's dish and tries to feed it "Is it horribly burnt? You taste it first."

Someone wearing a thick Delighted blindfold now sits in the lap of Astonished, a far more opportune position to feed each other.

Someone wearing a thick Bliss blindfold has left the a Bliss and Surprise gossamer lace canopy.

Someone wearing a thick Bliss blindfold has joined the a Bliss and Surprise gossamer lace canopy.

Dessert is served as the bells indicate to the pairs that the servants have brought the next dish. "Peach brandy infused cheesecake bites with caramel shortbread cookie base. This will be the last course, though there is enough of everything if you wish for more of anything. Just ask your server for assistance. I hope you have all enjoyed your evening with us, I assure you no one has died tonight. Maybe in the morning, but we'll see." Then Jaenelle says more warmly, "I have always enjoyed opening my home to host these, and I hope you have all enjoyed yourselves as well. We deserve some moments to ourselves where we can experience something with others while being able to enjoy every moment. Thank you all, truly, for trusting me enough to pair you with people I thought you would have a wonderful experience with."

Someone wearing a thick Intrigue blindfold seems to be enjoying a rather lighthearted conversation, from the occasional laughs that escape the canopy he shares with Courage. He's just about to gingerly lift the coffee cup when he sets it down almost as quickly. And sight unseen except to the servants of course, reaches for Courage's face to tilt it upwards towards him to offer a bold and lingering kiss to her lips, resting his forehead against hers for another heartbeat. He lifts her hand to his lips after they straighten, fingers still entwined with hers. He's blindfolded but he is turned towards her in a way that suggests he doesn't need his eyes to see her.

Someone wearing a thick Infatuation blindfold grins "Okay, this one I will try to get square on. Too tasty to waste a single crumb. I know together we can manage."

Someone wearing a thick Compassion blindfold has been on Serenity's lap this whole time and she's giggling at some words exchanged. "I....oh..." Muttering back in quiet conversation.

Someone wearing a thick Patience blindfold laughs, the sound carrying well past the table she shares with Infatuation. "I am sure any socialites in your life would forgive you for not wearing fancy dress to this potentially stain-inducing feast. But yes." She agrees emphatically with her partner. "This sounds delicious. We may need to request extra of this. Twice."

Someone wearing a thick Courage blindfold would be shy, maybe, if they weren't all blindfolded. But, they are! Most of them are. So she absolutely rolls with this public display of affection, and murmurs something else quietly to Intrigue once they break apart.

Someone wearing a thick Infatuation blindfold says, "I second that notion, I always have room for cheesecake." She puts extra effort in to guide the morsel towards her tablemate "Incoming..."

At some point along the line, Delighted slipped into Astonished's lap. It's just easier to be fed from there, and chocolate would stain.
