Entry tags:
just like the white winged dove sings a song
Who: sansa and friends
What: sansa turns seventeen (sort of)
When: october 15th
Where: the bigger dining hall in the sanctuary
Content Warnings: underage drinking and alcohol, character warnings in app
[sansa has hung up stark banners both inside and outside the dining hall to mark where the feast will be taking place. she has managed to bring her high harp into the building and hired one of the local volunteers to play some pop music arrangements on it.
there are two long tables laid with food; one has a large seaweed salad with chunks of roasted pumpkin, blackberries, and fresh goat cheese sprinkled with nuts in a lemon-poppyseed vinaigrette, platters of crabcakes, mushroom-and-onion turnovers piled high around a massive steak-and-kidney pie (with peas and pearl onions, all simmered in a dark ale) and direwolf sigil stamped on top, trays of roast carrots with onions and barley, bowls of mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy, thick loaves of brown oatbread, and a big wheel of a sharp sheep's cheese.
the other table has lemoncakes and honeycakes and sweetbiscuits stamped with weirwood leaf shapes, chocolate chip cookies and little jam tarts, bigger tarts of blackberries and plums, pumpkin cakes with chocolate chips, baked apples and gingerbread as well as a big yellow cake with strawberry jam in the middle stuck with seventeen narrow beeswax candles of assorted heights.
another smaller table has as many bottles of wine as sansa could find, all made if not with grapes than at least with some kind of fruit. a keg of dark ale has been hauled in, and there is a massive pitcher of lemonsweet (admittedly from concentrate, but sansa still likes it). guests are welcome to bring additional beverages.
there are assorted tables and chairs to sit and eat at. it's only a little squished. the effect, overall, is like a cross between a medieval dining hall and a high school cafeteria decorated for one of the smaller dances.
food and/or bones will be provided for dogs and other companion animals. if anyone is feeling overwhelmed or needs a break, s'mores will be glad to meet them outside the hall and accompany them to the godswood (courtyard) where knight the bloodhound is dozing peacefully in the moonlight. he has a nice grey woolen jacket with a border of black embroidered antlers.
MEANWHILE, unbeknownst to sansa:
violet (who will stop to meditate every hour - and more, depending) and her co-conspirator sharon, because she is not alone in this, have set up various activities.
some happen throughout the feast, such as the piling up of gifts, and a table with a plethora of art supplies (and chairs!) where one is encouraged to draw up one's own house sigil in westerosi style, and if mottos are added, all the better. try to keep them kid friendly if you'd like to win the competition, because make no mistake ...this is a competition, and all entries will be submitted to the lady of the (name)day. many examples hang up already for people to see - vi has drawn all of the ones she has heard about and perhaps they are not all correct. are those middle fingers bordering the lannister sigil? is their motto really "blah blah blah"?
there is also a small stage, with its own fancy chair, if one would like to sit and perform for the birthday lady. bring your own instruments, please, unless you play the high harp. or perhaps you might like to recite a poem or a piece of theater? feel free.
fancy making a flower crown? tons of paper flowers are here for that, with wired bases if you just want to grab flowers and cram them in. if you're craftier, twist your own wires, fold your own flowers (there are patterns ranging from simple to complex) all sorts of (uncursed) paints and even glitter, courtesy of allen.
a game of pin the tail on the direwolf complete with blindfolds and little glasses of spiced wine to aid in the spinning if being blindfolded and spun isn't enough. (actually they're shots. those are shot glasses. oops.) however, the "pins" aren't sharp, they're sticky. no injuries on vi's watch, please.]
