Arrakeen, Saturday afternoon, 10,224 AG

Light fell through the tinted glass, softly lighting the centre of the room. Glowglobes lined the walls, and the movement of the thin curtains dividing the hall in sections betrayed an otherwise unnoticeable flow of air. At the front of the room stood three familiar figures. Instead of the elaborate fashions of the Houses of the Imperium, they all

Arrive and Mingle

[future_sandworm]

Find a good place to sit so that you can watch the proceedings. Chatter with those around you. Take in that fine desert heat.

Arthur was not a fan of the desert heat. Not that he was going to let that on. He arrived perfectly on time, of course, and took his seat with due consideration for his surroundings.

Did that include having someone flop down next to him and grin? "Hey, Arthur. Pretty amazing, hunh?"

"Leto has certainly mastered pomp," Arthur commented. "I'll give him that."

The Ceremony Itself

Any and all reactions can go here.

Just for a brief moment, Kate found herself wondering about an alternative universe far far away, and whether there had been anything like this for Vivienne.

It was just a passing thought, though, and the proceedings held her attention well enough. It was a foreign ceremony, with foreign words, but damn if it didn't still manage to make her tear up a little bit.

Dinah was listening carefully to all the meanings, feeling a little wistful, a little relieved, a little hopeful for Leto and Alice, remembering their other daughter Victoria, remembering....

Then she laughed out loud at "We thought we should stop at five", and put her hand over her mouth in case that wasn't acceptable. But she was still giggling.

Karla watched everything with a wistful smile. The ceremony was beautiful, and Leto and Alice looked so happy. She was so, so, so far from ready, but a small part of her couldn't help but think of a Kaeleeran ceremony, with little fluttering children coming out with Jewels...

Reception after the Ceremony

[future_sandworm]

Congratulate Hania on her brand-new name, mingle with one another, try the refreshments, enjoy the aftermath.

Presents!

[future_sandworm]

Because some people had brought them a table had been set up for gifts.

Jack wasn't sure what one gave a baby princess who lived on a different planet far into the future, but he wouldn't show up empty-handed. He dropped off a largish flat box, with an attached card that read, 'May God make his face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you.' Welcome to the world, little one. - Jack

Unwrapping Kate's gifts would unveil a book and a plushie. The kid was getting raised Fremen, sure, but that didn't mean Kate couldn't still advocate classic kid culture from her own time!

Grow up awesome, Hania. ♥, your Auntie Kate, read the attached card.

The Palace and the City

[future_sandworm]

Hang out in your room, explore the palace and the city with or without a guide.

The palace is like a small city in itself, full of people, and Arrakeen is the center of the universe, full of pilgrims, people involved in the spice trade and with most peoples of the Imperium represented. It's not entirely safe, not even if you claim to be a friend of the Emperor.

OOC

Please ask if you have any questions! As for exploring the city, you can mod away or ask here if you want npc's to interact with.
