At last, my love has come along~

~~Date Night~~

After everything that's happened, especially the shock from the giddy joy of Thursday night to everything that happened on Friday, Queenie is more determined than ever to make sure everyone can find some joy in this place. Which finds her determined and busy most of Saturday evening, after crying herself out, and all day Sunday. Anyone that tries to stop her or insist maybe there's something else she should or could be doing will be told that she's got something in mind, it's going to be fun and no one should worry about her, thank you very much.

One of the small tables from the dining room is missing, along with it's chairs. They have now taken up residence in a quiet corner of the garden. She's taken one of the pink sheets from the 2nd floor rest area and made it into a tablecloth, set out candlesticks, and relocated a rose or two into the area. Jars and additional glasses from the kitchen are scattered around, glowing a soft, delicate blue light from dancing flames that give off heat but do not burn.

Every day this week a different couple will find memo mice seeking them out.

The pleasure of your company has been requested in the garden this evening at 7 o'clock. Follow the lights for fine food and better company.

The food will be served by magic and Queenie will do her best to keep as much distance as possible, giving everyone their privacy. While the main dishes will vary there will be two things consistent, night to night. Excellent wine from the bar upstairs and a rich, decadent chocolate mousse topped with hand whipped cream and glazed strawberries.

...I'd like to see it. Maybe I can show you Lucifenia. Elphegort... Not so much since... Well...

[daughterofthemark]

...y-yes.

[. . . maybe they should go back to talking about her world.]

--but if I could only show you one thing, it would surely be Yggdrasil.

[desperateprayer]

Yggdrasil?

[ Her attention is grabbed. ]

[daughterofthemark]

A tree so large it contains an entire forest within. It's a very dangerous place, but very beautiful as well.

[jane are you taking notes]

[desperateprayer]

That sounds like a much larger version of the Millennium Tree.

[ It can't house a forest, but maybe if it had survived a thousand more years. ]

[daughterofthemark]

...it is said to be at least a thousand years old.

[desperateprayer]

It must be fascinating.

[ She wants to see your world, Arianna. Take her home with you, the two of you can rule together. ]

[daughterofthemark]

[SHE WILL. JUST TRY AND STOP HER.]

It is! I'm sorry I didn't get to explore it more thoroughly. Business came first, sadly.

[desperateprayer]

[ Queen Arianna and Queen Clarith--maybe she can finally have a last name. ]

Business?

[daughterofthemark]

[last names are for other people]

I was actually in the area to perform a ritual in the Temple of Ginnungagap. [No, Firefox, not Gingersnap.] We only visited Yggdrasil because there was a problem.

[desperateprayer]

[ But Temple of Gingersnap is better. ]

Oh? What kind of problem?

[daughterofthemark]

[It does sound much more delicious and less likely to kill anyone.]

Our way was blocked by a bridge that needed to be repaired. The only person we knew of who could fix it was a guard patrolling the forest.

[desperateprayer]

Bridge repair... Why not simply hire a carpenter or stonemason...?

[daughterofthemark]

It was a more complex bridge, made of stone blocks that can rise or descend on command. Only someone who had studied bridges extensively would understand its mechanics.
