I'm sorry to everyone who missed the event because of the timing. The time we discussed (a few days before the surge) happened before daylight savings (which changed the time of the surge) and I think I added instead of subtracted when I was trying to compensate. There was also an issue when the time ended up scheduled at Midnight that made it show as a day before.
So once again, my apologies. As follows, the Reception of Kaelric and Ilromie Illistarre.
Prologue: The Wedding, which was performed hours after the conclusion of the Trial of Kali Windbreeze.
The Music Hall | This room holds up high a chandelier of candles that seem | to be lit in a hue of colors that give of a warm din of | light. The very structure of the room itself leans to the | bench where the performer would sit or stand by. It was @ | as if the very sides of the room were carved by masterful | | artisans that it echoes and caries the music around. The *-* | floor is tiled and curtains and veils hang in expert places | to prevent an unseemly echo. This is a hall of built by | a master architect for a master musician. ---------+

The Guestbook -------------
Kaelric and Ilromie Illistarre welcome: Countess Djenniva Solmundi Visindi, Commander Wylsin Plindane (Seared into the page by lighting) Davairus Tearea the Red Lotus, Standard Bearer of Warlords
Fashion Summary ---------------
Ilromie, the Bride: The sweet smell of flowers surrounds this elven woman. They have been braided into her hair, tucked behind her pointed ears, and twisted into bands around her wrist and ankle. Even for an elf, she is tall and especially willowy, as if a simple breeze might cause her to sway. Vivid green eyes are accentuated by a tattoo of a lily inked above her cheekbone. Her hands are soft and slender, better suited to braiding of flora than bloodshed, though dark marks mar her wrists. A tension fills the air around her of magic ready to be bent to her whim. It causes her blond hair to wave constantly as if caught in a wind.
Wearing... <worn around neck> a gold necklace with a large seafoam pendant <worn around neck> a gold necklace with a large seafoam pendant <worn on torso> a silky cerulean dress with a low cut back <worn on hands> a pair of elbow-length gloves of cerulean lace <worn about body> a shawl-like gown made of seafoam lace <worn about waist> a high-waisted belt of seafoam green, cinched tight <worn around wrist> a thick gold bracelet studded with tiny gems in every shade of teal <worn around wrist> a thick gold bracelet studded with tiny gems in every shade of teal
Kaelric, the Groom: The elf before you is tall and lean, yet well-muscled. His fair skin is smooth and perfectly unblemished. His handsome face is perfectly symmetrical with a thin jaw line and a delicate nose. His lips are neither thin, nor lush, and are set in an easy smile. His face is completely hairless, other than his delicate eyebrows that rest above his eyes. Long, smooth, blonde hair runs majestically past his neck and shoulder blades. His clear blue eyes have a mischievous sparkle to them. He has a joyful look upon his face, as if some great weight has recently been lifted from his strong shoulders.
Wearing... <worn around neck> a shimmering titanium necklace inscribed with small gales <worn around neck> a shimmering titanium necklace inscribed with small gales <worn on torso> a turqoise dress shirt dotted with forest green <worn on legs> a pair of forest green suit pants <worn on feet> polished light brown leather boots with pointed tips <worn about body> a forest green suit coat with a turqoise handkerchief <worn about waist> a light brown leather belt with a thick titanium clasp
Djenniva: You see a woman who appears to have had her physical features touched by magic in various ways. She is clearly a drow, given that her skin is an inky black color, and the fact that her ears spike out to the sides and up as high as the crown of her head. But that is practically where the line is drawn with regards to the authenticity of her features. Her eyes are a very dark green, similar to nephrite jade in shade. They almost seem to glow slightly in a disturbing fashion. Then too, her torso clearly suggests magical adjustments; she had a waist so tiny that even a corset could not easily make it. Furthermore, she has a suspiciously perky pair of breasts which are seemingly too large to hold their shape naturally. Beneath the waist, a prodigious pair of hips flare outwards, beneath which legs seemingly too long for her height extend downwards.
Wearing... (Nothing Special)
Wylsin: Looking about this place, you can't help but notice the little gnome standing before you. His bright green eyes seem to seek yours out. As your gazes lock, you notice something dancing behind behind the gnome's eyes. It almost seems to be flickering firelight, but of course that's impossible.
Breaking your eye contact, you look over the rest of his face. A short, almost button-like nose sits right in the center. His lips have a slight orange-ish hue to them, and when he talks his teeth are dazzlingly white. He has curly red hair, and when he turns his head it seems to shimmer as though a great heat were emanating from him.
Wearing... <used as light> (Glowing) (Humming) a mystical banner of the dragon-magi <worn on finger> (Humming) a polished marble ring with blue swirls <worn on head> a black hat with a silver plume <worn on torso> an elegant black silk coat with silver trim <worn on hands> (Glowing) white silk gloves <worn on legs> a pair of black pants <worn on feet> a pair of black, silver-worked boots <worn about body> (Glowing) robes of the archmagi <worn around wrist> (Humming) an ebony bracelet <tattooed> a crescent-silver moon
Tearea: A tall and slender woman is here before you. She is cloaked in cascading waves of shimmering brown hair covering half of her face and giving her a shy appearance. Her uncovered eye is a pure and limpid shade of blue, the same blue of a clear afternoon sky. Her wandering gaze indicates an awareness of what is around her and her expression is one of equanimity. Her fair skin is pale despite the amount of it being exposed at her shoulders and thighs by her tight form-fitting clothing, apparently designed to allow a maximum freedom of movement. Her movements are resemblant of the flowing of water, her lithe muscles tightening almost imperceptibly with each dainty step. Tucked behind an ear and threaded through strands of her hair is a single red tulip.
Wearing... (Nothing Special)
The Poetry ----------
Untitled by Solmundi: There once was an elf. Who died on the twelth. She found herself brought back to life. Only to finder herself as a wife. A burning desire to drink blood. But she was only forced to devour mud.
Untitled by Djenniva Here is Ilromie. Kaelric is now her husband. They have become one.
If I Live To Be - Author Unknown, Recited by Wylsin Accidentally, our intentions align: Sound and its sentiments intermingle, Wind-swept, across the chasms of our thoughts. Did you, too, smile upon the highest note held. And hum harmonies beneath the meaning of it all, Melding self to some other freer spirit, Imagining a world of different imperfections? Laden with longings, We dream our tentative dreams. Such a brief respite. Before dawn's clearing. Such invisible parallels, Such an exquisite web is this! To think. Its creator knows only a crumb of the happiness enabled. By a few words, fingers, strings.
Our Love, Our Story by Ilromie Illistarre (Bride) A chance passing perhaps, but it was the start Of how this Illistarre lost her heart. The lady was fresh from a brilliant case Young Kali-now Kaelric, just out for a pace.
The Justice fled in haste, his defeat freshly stinging Leaving the two elves to their iced-wine glass tinging. Twice the sun was chased down by the moon While the elves enganged their sweet commune. The epitome of manner, he left with his lips on her hand and his scent in the wind. Civility from the Motherland.
Strythmas came, the Polymath dared to pray and her wish was granted: Midst the snow and mistletoe, his lips upon hers were planted. The love within them blossomed a bond deep and tender. From that day forth, he would gallantly avenge her.
Such a vow would draw the ire of the god of Blood Kali persevered as his name dragged through mud. Together the elves fought and would persevere As Kali Windbreeze became Kaelric Illistarre.
The Event ---------
The Welcoming Room | Nine tall pillars carved of white stone surround this room. | The floor dotted with marbled tile as it leads up to a staircase | heading upwards into the greater part of the Venue. Off to | one side is an area for what appears to be a welcoming area. @ | It has a soft black velvet backdrop and a small desk to make | note of those coming in and out of the building. Hanging from | the center of the ceiling is an ephemeral chandelier, lit | with nine different candles positioned with each pillar. | ---------+

The floor seems to be one | massive seamless slab of marble stone that seems to hum and ---------+ shimmer with the light from above. At the back of the Ballroom, a stain glass window of what appears to be two people, one wearing blue and the other green seem to be kissing.

Tearea says 'Not much room for it in this ballroom, but it is the best I can do for now.'
Wylsin says in a much deeper voice 'I think we're supposed to stay on the dancefloor.'
Tearea says 'Oh.'
Tearea sits down and thinks deeply.
Kaelric taps his chin in thought.
Wylsin says in a much deeper voice 'Perhaps follow my lead?'

Wylsin takes Tearea's hand once more, and holds it out to one side, while delicately placing his other hand on her hip.
Wylsin says with his normal voice 'Now place your hand on my shoulder.'
Ilromie looks away from the pair and to Kaelric.
Tearea says 'What an odd stance.'
You say to Kaelric 'Shall we?'
Tearea looks down and her hip and clamps her hand onto Wylsin's shoulder.
Wylsin winces in agony.
Wylsin says 'That's fine.'
Kaelric nods in enthusiastic agreement with you.
Wylsin chuckles politely.
Wylsin says 'Now..'
Ilromie hikes up her skirt with one hand and takes Kaelric's in her other as she steps onto the floor and starts kicking her legs around in time to the fast music.
Wylsin steps with his left stilted foot a step to the left, then brings his right foot over next to the left.

Wylsin exerts gentle pressure on Tearea's hip, entreating her to follow his lead.
You are hungry.
You are hungry.
Kaelric backs up slightly from Ilromie and nods his head along, sending his long hair flailing as the song rises in a rapid crescendo.
Tearea stumbles slightly, before closing her eyes and moving her feet smoothly along the floor.
Wylsin smiles at Tearea.
You are hungry.
Wylsin says quietly 'Very good.'
Djenniva starts moving side to side in a shuffling motion in time to the music.
You are hungry.
Wylsin steps backwards with his left foot, then brings the right alongside, and then to the right, and then back forward completing the box step.
Ilromie matches her moves to Kaelric's, her wild curls twirling around her head. A breeze picks up, making it even more wild.
Tearea's movement is no longer as accurate. You are hungry.
Kaelric looks at you.
Wylsin says to Tearea 'See, not so difficult?'
Tearea says 'Can I try something?'

You are hungry. Your hunger hits you.
Wylsin says to Tearea 'Of course!'
Tearea says 'Take my hands.'
Kaelric whispers to you 'Let's dance with Djenniva!'
Wylsin takes Tearea's hands.
Tearea moves with the swiftness and the accuracy of the crane.

Wylsin clatters to the floor.
Wylsin says 'Oof.'
Wylsin chuckles politely.
Wylsin says 'That was fun!'
Kaelric winces in agony.
Djenniva points at the spheres and they turn red. Then she snaps her fingers four times, adding four more spheres, also red.
Wylsin stands back up on his stilts.
Tearea says 'It is good practice for making crane kicks... balancing on one foot.'
Wylsin chuckles politely.
Wylsin says 'I don't doubt it.'
Tearea bows her head slightly, placing a chaste peck on Wylsin's cheek.
Ilromie glances about the room, suddenly glowing a foreboding crimson.
Wylsin bows before Tearea.
Tearea says 'I must be returning to my meditations now.'
Wylsin says to Tearea 'Thank you for the dance, Warmistress.'
Djenniva says 'Red is the color of passion, is it not?'
Wylsin says to Djenniva 'Naturally.'
You say to Tearea 'Please sign the guestbook before you leave, Warmistress.'
