QUEST REPORT (NOT YET APPRAISED)
Quest Report (55)
Name: Felicia El Freliti
Level: 11 (12400/13200)
Quest: I must be the best hostess!
Evaluation:

• Visited the Rosenthal residence and discussed a ball with Lady Rosenthal
• Performed a sword dance split into two halves of a story for the guests
• Ensured the ball was as successful as possible for Lady Rosenthal's reputation
• Informed Lady Rosenthal of some juicy gossip about Lady Agitha Myraleide

**********

Spoiler: Report

The Rosenthal residence was a beautiful sight to behold, being a grand abode exuding a bold yet elegant grace. Even from afar, Felicia could see the meticulous detail every element of the building held, from the window frames to the chimney, it was clear this building was something only the rich could ever hope to afford. As Felicia calmly assessed the building whilst approaching it, fond memories of her childhood flooded back, filled with the noble houses she used to sneak and play in with her friends in the nobility. Ah, she was such a tyrannical and mischievous little princess.

Felicia knocked on the door and was greeted with the butler, recognizable due to his attire and demeanour. Politely, he welcomed her and brought her to his mistress, who was resting in the tea room after being informed that she was coming.

"It is a pleasure to meet you Lady Rosenthal." She bowed courteously towards the golden-haired noble before her.

"Ah, Felicia was it? I must thank you for accepting my request." She greeted and welcomed gracefully with a curtsey, before returning to her velvety sofa by the glamourous coffee table.

"I have no need for thanks, my lady." She responded graciously, prompting Lady Rosenthal to nod warmly with a smile.

"Please, take a seat and help yourself. My chef is wonderful at making these little pastries." She offered kindly, as Felicia heeded her words with a polite smile and picked up a dark chocolate biscuit from the ornate china plate.

Noticing her mannerisms and behaviour, Lady Rosenthal abruptly asked.

"My, have you had prior lady training? I do apologize if I'm being nosy, but I just had to ask as soon as I saw you."

Her eyes twinkled excitedly for the incoming gossip, as Felicia continued smiling stiffly atop the velvety couch.

"Ah, well... yes. Indeed I have." She responded succinctly, before moving on quickly to the topic at hand.

"I heard you requested assistance for a social gathering?" Felicia inquired calmly.

"Ah, yes indeed! May I ask what ideas or plans you have?" Lady Rosenthal replied enthusiastically, politely dropping the topic and taking a sip of her tea.

"Well, what I had in mind was a tea party or ball themed around the seasons. I felt that it would be a nice way to allow the guests to have some fun styling their outfits, without being too restrictive, seeing as there are many different ways one can style an outfit based on any particular season. Each invitation letter would have a sign showcasing their allocated season, which will give them their 'team' for the event if you will. During the day, we could have small activities/competitions throughout to entertain the guests, such as croquet and art exhibitions, which would promote some friendly competition for a final grand prize at the end. Ah also, in terms of entertainment, I'd like to give a sword dancing performance, if you would give me the chance."

Stunned but pleased by the long description of her ideas, Lady Rosenthal's eyes sparkled as she enthusiastically nodded her head.

"Oh my! All of your ideas sound absolutely wonderful, let us get to work straight away before either of us forget what has been said!" She smiled excitedly, as her butler immediately brought over some paper and pens so that she could write up the appropriate invitations and letters immediately.

---

Nobles dressed in all sorts of fancy attire chatted merrily within the hall, as gorgeous decorations based on the seasons twinkled in the room, including a tall statue made of ice, paintings of beautifully blooming spring flowers, fall-themed banquet tables and bright golden chandeliers powered by solar magic. Everyone was smiling merrily, as the host for the day Lady Saskia, was surrounded by her enthusiastic peers, praising her work to no end.

"My, my Lady Rosenthal this ball has been one of the most enjoyable gatherings I've had all year!"

"I agree! May I ask what specifically inspired you for this ball? I would love to be able to host something similar in the future."

"Ah, well I simply noticed how the weather recently shifted from a lively Summer to an elegant Autumn and was promptly inspired!"

"My, how lovely!" The ladies cried out enthusiastically, as Felicia calmly stepped atop the stage with a wry smile.

The lights dimmed around the room slowly, drawing all attention to her bright spotlight atop the stage. Garbed in a graceful outfit that shimmered as she moved, her sword dance began slowly, with her enchanted silver sword grasped delicately in one hand.

At first, her dance was slow and sorrowful, depicting the emotions of a lonely swan that had lost her loved ones. Her moves were steady and graceful, as the swan danced across the stage, filled with the emotions of loneliness, regret and despair. Her hair fluttered in an invisible wind, with an icy, isolated chill being emitted from her body, until she finally came to a sorrowful end with the sword pointed towards her own heart.

Suddenly, a roaring flame enveloped her body, spreading slowly from within as the swan was reborn anew as a blazing phoenix. Her corset was reduced to embers, as chains of gold fell from beneath, creating a soft melodic twinkling of metal which resounded throughout the silent hall. Her new attire was delicate but fierce, as her body was set ablaze, showing a passion, rage and determination unlike any other as she danced.

Her dance was swift yet deadly, fierce yet silent. Until finally, the phoenix smiled upon the heavens and ascended, with her blade beside her as a life-long companion.

Slowly, Felicia gracefully bowed to the crowd as she stepped off stage, with thunderous applause resounding in the hall shortly afterwards.

---

After disguising herself as a masked servant, she traversed amongst the crowd of guests, politely offering them drinks and replenishment whilst eavesdropping on their conversations. Pleased to hear they were enjoying themselves, she took care to make sure everyone was of the utmost comfort as she wandered the venue.

"Psst, did you hear? Lady Myraleide's daughter is actually the result of an affair! I hear that she doesn't look anything like her father!"

"Really? Well, actually, I also heard rumours that she was the daughter of an affair herself!"

"Wow really? Like mother like daughter I suppose..."

"Who's the lucky guy?"

"I'm not sure, I heard it might have been her butler...shhh she's coming over!"

Suddenly, the pair of gossiping ladies oddly became silent as a silver-haired maiden approached them with a kind but unreadable smile.

Surprised by the sudden drama, Felicia decided to retreat from the scene quickly. Afterall, if a servant knew too much it wasn't odd for them to be silenced mysteriously one day... She used to do the same thing herself~

Still, she informed Lady Rosenthal of the juicy gossip, as instructed by her earlier, before continuing her duties.

---

The rest of the ball based by just as expected. Alongside the events that the guests had partaken in earlier that evening, a few more friendly competitions based on the arts occurred, including a lovely little quiz that seemed to rile up everyone's spirits the most somehow. People seemed to enjoy the atmosphere and the entertainment, often talking about the dark violet-haired dancer that had appeared on stage, which made Felicia mildly uncomfortable.

Though, they did mention that the food was a little lacking. Which was understandable however, due to the illness that had suddenly befallen the Rosenthal head chef just yesterday.

Still, all in all, the ball was a success. The team that had won that night was Winter, with all the members bestowed little badges with a design resembling the four seasons with a golden crown. Everyone went home with a smile on their faces, including Lady Saskia, who bestowed Felicia with one of the spare badges as she left, undoubtedly worth a fortune due to its delicate craftsmanship.

After a long night's rest at the tavern, Felicia wrote her report and handed it to the guild's receptionist on duty.

I loved it!


*huggles you lots and lots*

Haha, because I didn't know how the Rosenthal residence looked like and I didn't want to overwrite anything you had in mind I kept it vague and used purely descriptive terms like how it was 'a beautiful sight to behold', was 'a grand abode exuding a bold yet elegant grace' and described 'the meticulous detail every element of the building held'

This is good stuff to remember for next time~ Could I also get a reference picture in the future of how it looks from the outside too? Or like, the colour themes and decorative details?

Well, I was leaving that for @Siostar to decide, since she's also doing that quest.
Although, if she ends up not describing it, then I'll try and find a reference image of a stately-esque home of a medieval style.
>w<

I didn't really want to hinder people's creativity when describing the house, which is why I didn't post the rough floor plan I had in mind before.
>w<

I hope it doesn't mess with Sio's image.
If it does, then I'll just make mine not canon.
(^-^)

I liked how you did the event, btw.
Loved the outfits!
Loved the scandalous gossip!

"Sorry Ms Receptionist, I don't want to give another sword dance anytime soon, especially in such a random and public setting." Felicia apologized with a slight bow towards the blue-eyed girl.

The way that had been written made it seem like a guy had propositioned her for a 'sword dance'.

How can you see everything in such a dirty light?!?

*hugs* Well, I get the feeling, I sometimes do that when researching stuff for what I'm writing! xD

That's just Nah-chan being Nah-chan~

 

[Nahrenne]

How can you see everything in such a dirty light?!?

It's cos I am going to be writing a draft of Jasper's second ss with Vanessa and so was in Incubus mode!
Even though I'd be a succubus, since I'm female...but you get the point...hopefully.

"Hm— Then you must only be a passerby! Sorry, it seems that I forget to note down your existence. Either the me from before didn't think of you as significant, or you only know me and not the other way around." Taking another sip from the newer black tea, Luna spoke to Ellania in a sorry expression.

Ouch! Savage! xD

 

[AliceShiki]

"Ehhh? My story is quite boring compared to most others, though. But since you asked, I'll provide the shortened version with most of the important bits included. So! A long time ago, there was a beautiful young girl born to---just kidding."

Ellania smirked evilly.

"To put it simply, I'm a person living solely for vengeance, and once I achieve it or die in the attempt I'll probably stop existing. Also, the name's Ellania, but I don't mind people calling me Nia, nya."

"Vengeance, huh? Well, at least I'll get to know you before you stopped existing. Nice to meet you, Ellania." Noting down the detail, Luna remained smiling even after seeing that wicked smile.

Tsk, I can't believe you lost the chance to call her "Nianya"!

 

[FlutterOfCrows]

*crow ponder as start to fix what it forgot to write in its AC*

 

[AliceShiki]

"Is that not obvious to you?" Luna noted down that Ellania was not quite bright. Still, she did not say anything and continued to feel the pat.

?????????????

New Luna is great~
