[ These people are kind of really beautiful. . . . ]
Mm. I suppose I was just trying to make the rounds and better get to know some of the guests. Does the Countess often host such popular parties as this one?
I don't know that I have had the honor yet. The countess seems to hold her in high regard, however. Someone else outside of the countess mentioned her as well just a bit ago, so I hope to get the opportunity soon.
Well, hopefully you'll get to meet her—she knows how to have fun. She's about, oh... a little shorter than me, though she's usually in heels, silver hair, warm complexion...
[ it occurs to you that these people look a heck of a lot like Paloma. ]
Maybe I'll do that. I'd like to chat with her. And outside of that, I promised someone else here that I'd pass on a message for them if I came across her.
I'm Ataleestu Illmatar, and this is my spouse, Vainamoinen Illmatar, Praanchs of the states of Illmatar and New Karkarham; and, of course, we accept your apology.
...although if you cannot pronounce my name, which I understand gives some Terrans difficulty, you may also call me by my Terran name, Wyoming Alexander.
But we'd love to have a bit of sway with high or low society among your people, if you don't mind a trade.
[ they will offer to trade 1:1 high or low society for either "the canals must flow," "all's fair in love and war" or "pride goeth before a fall." ]

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM
Thank you! And I hope that things work out for you.
Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM
And you as well—thank you, Kaguya.
Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM
Hello.... hope I'm not intruding.
Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM
Goodness, darling, we're popular tonight! What can we do for you, Miss...?

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM
Oh, she does—about four times a year. Something about bringing the best and brightest of high society, science, and politics together.
Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM
I feel incredibly honored to have been invited to mingle with so many talented individuals then. There's a lot everyone can learn from one another.
Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM
Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM
I've been accused of being overly optimistic or an idealist in the past, so I suppose that falls in line. Is she here tonight too?

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM
[ Blink Blink. ]
I know someone matching the description.
[ Actually... don't they all share some characteristics? ]
She goes by something else though. So I'm not sure we're talking about the same person.
[ . . . Maybe? ]
I heard she's the life of the party, which is why she's probably been swept away in all the commotion of the evening.
Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM
I think she was the one who drew up the drinks menu for this event, though, so perhaps you could find her downstairs at the bar.
Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM
[ Huh. . . ]
Maybe I'll do that. I'd like to chat with her. And outside of that, I promised someone else here that I'd pass on a message for them if I came across her.
Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM
Now, I don't suppose you would happen to want to make a trade of favors with some very friendly revolutionaries slash businesspersons slash monarchs?
Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM
Oh my gosh. I had no idea I was talking to royalty...! I don't think I even caught your names... !
[ HER MISTAKE!? S-She bows politely and deeply...! ]
I'm so sorry!
[ She was so casual!? ]
I-- of course I'd be happy to if it's something I'm capable of!

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM
[ She gives it her best effort to pronounce both names with determination...! It may sound accented but she's given it her all. ]
I won't forget. And I appreciate the forgiveness.
[ Another bow. ]
I also think that's more than a fair trade. I'd be happy for the exchange.
[ Will give them one +1 high society for alls far in love and war. ]
Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM
Well, it was truly exciting to meet you. Keep learning, won't you?
And don't forget to come visit scenic New Karkarham sometime~

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM
[ If they made advertisements everyone would want to come.... pretty. ]
And thank you again. I hope we get the chance to talk once more in the future.
[ Will excuse herself then and follow Wednesday to the Outer Deck ]
