Important Public Announcement

_{[When the feed connects there's a moment before anyone can be spotted. All there seems to be is the backdrop of a kitchen and a lone, wooden chair set out. Soon enough Tataru's hopping up onto the chair as if to draw even more attention to herself (and add a few feet to her, uh, short stature). Up her arms go as she waves them about, determined to be seen and heard.]}

Attention, attention! After asking many people I've realized that an extremely important Eorzean holiday is unknown here! I thought that perhaps it might be celebrated since Valentione's Day was but apparently not...and I simply can't let that be!

_{[Is someone passionate about this? Seems that way.]}

What sort of holiday could be so important? Why, it's Little Ladies' Day - a celebration of all womenfolk! A day where every lady, regardless of age, race, creed or class is treated like they're the sultana themselves!

_{[To put it frank, it's an All Women Are Queens day. Who wouldn't think that's a good idea?]}

As someone from Ul'dah it's especially special, thanks to the tale of its founding! So, I've decided it's my duty as a Lalafellian lady from Ul'dah to bring it to all the ladies here! It's a day to dress up in your finest garments for a day out, eat tasty treats and best of all be attended to all day by a loyal seneschal.

_{[If you want something you've got to make it happen yourself, which seems to be the case here with Tataru. What a busybody...does she ever chill out? (The answer is no.)]}

I've already been in talks with local establishments who seem willing to participate if celebrations are held later on in the upcoming weeks, but their support won't be enough. It may be a day for ladies, but without dashing men to play their part any organizing I do will be for naught.

So! _{[She jumps off her chair, disappearing for a moment before the feed is adjusted and she can be seen again, this time far closer.]} Won't any men step up to the challenge and help this 'Little Lady' make her efforts successful? I'll be taking volunteers soon!

_{[And...that seems to be the end of it...only it's not.]}

Oh! And if anyone else would like to lend a helping hand in general I certainly wouldn't be opposed to it! There are still a few matters I'm trying to get in order, after all. Music, sweets...there's still much to be accounted for!

_{[OOC: Little Ladies' Day will be celebrated on the 22nd of March, as an addition to Eostre. Details and a proper sign-up will be posted at a later date on the OOC com for those who wish to sign their characters up for a bit of silly matchmaking/shenanigans to occur.]}

Oh, is it that time already?

If you need any extra hands, I am more than happy to offer.

[seemstressed]

It must be! After all Valentione's Day happened, did it not? That means Little Ladies' Day should be taking place...but it's nowhere to be found.

I may have to call upon your kindness Mira...but I fully expect you to participate in the festivities as well!

un: vivelafrance

[thejoyrider]

[That’s the first time Marie has heard of such a holiday. Or seen Tataru. But who cares? This is right up her alley. She will take three Little Ladies’ Days]

What a wonderful tradition! I am so thankful that you decided to share it with us! I agree that it is definitely something that needs to be celebrated and I will do whatever I can to help you!

[This is going to be so much fun!]

I am Marie, by the way!

[seemstressed]

Isn't it? It's one of my favourite!

Lovely to meet you Marie! I'll be glad to have your assistance. If I'm not mistaken, you helped organize the Valentione's Day, did you not?

un: tacobell

[itsjiaheng]

that's a whole lotta words i've never heard before
but like
dashing men huh ∠( ᐛ 」∠)_

[ never mind that he's felt and looked like crap since the last full moons... he still cute right. that's what's important. ]

[seemstressed]

Are you one?

voice;

[clickclickbang]

...dude. Tataru. Get me a carriage and someone who can make it work for chocobos.

[seemstressed]

I think I could make that a reality.

text, un: hector

[petcromancer]

i don't know how much help i will be, but if you need assistance with setting things up, i can be there.

[This is dog lover solidarity right here.]

[seemstressed]

Any bit of help is appreciated, Hector! There will be lots to do.
How is Cezar?

[unsundered]

Well... you certainly waste no time when it comes to keeping busy.

[How long have you been here Tataru, and you're already founding a holiday? Are you going to be the next one to collapse in your soup?]

I wish you all the best in your endeavor.

[That does not sound like an offer to help.]

[seemstressed]

Little Ladies' Day is very important in Eorzea. It would be a crime not to celebrate it here!

_{[Like...a month...and not so fast, Emet-Selch. You're not weaseling your way out of this.]}

I expect a man full of charm such as yourself to assist me! After all, wouldn't you want Mira to have the perfect Little Ladies' Day?

un: ma - voice

[stopfen]

So many festivals... Are the local establishments actually earning money helping out all the time.

[Was it possible to sound anymore bored and uninterested? Probably not.]

[seemstressed]

Oh, you needn't worry about that.

_{[GET EXCITED...AAAAA]}

If you've never had a Little Ladies' Day, which I know you haven't, then this is the perfect opportunity Mikasa. It'll be fun, I promise!

Voice

[poisontippedcure]

I, for one, am in favor of the idea.

It’s nice to see someone bringing some culture to Aefenglom.

[Especially when that culture is ‘All Women are Queens.’]

[seemstressed]

I'm glad you agree Rose. No women should go without celebrating such an important holiday!

voice;

[darkcharge]

Someone sure doesn't know how to take it slow.

[seemstressed]

It's a matter of importance.

voice; un: sephiroth

[supersoldier]

First an endless amount of tasks, and now you’re orchestrating an entire holiday?

[seemstressed]

Well look who it is, one of my favourite dashing men!
It's not just any holiday, Sephiroth! It's Little Ladies' Day!
Can I depend on you to volunteer your time? If you do I'll consider the cooking lessons I've given you thus far paid in full.

UN: Maria

[whomthebelltolls]

Little Ladies Day? I'm afraid I don't qualify for that; at least on age or height, but... did you say seneschal?

[seemstressed]

It's a day for all ladies! It's just that the holiday was originally started by Lalafell...and as you can see I'm quite petite. But, no lady is excluded so you would qualify, Miss! And I did, yes!

[hippocarnival]

Are the guys supposed to be the seneschals?

[seemstressed]

They are, yes. At least that's how it's done in Eorzea?

video; un: kor

[spirialink]

A holiday just for girls? [What's with all these specialized holidays for very specific things! First there's Valentine's Day, and now this. People sure are obsessed with making special holidays for things.]

I don't really get it, but... If you need a guy to help out, then I'm your guy!

[seemstressed]

Yes, a day just for ladies!

Then I'll be requiring your assistance. You know how to treat a lady right, do you not?

text.

[battlebound]

[ Little Ladies' Day? ]

Isn't that what Valentine's Day is for?

[seemstressed]

No, no, that's for celebrating love. This is to celebrate ladies.

voice;

[aremnant]

I only want to celebrate the most important woman of all.

[seemstressed]

Then you ought to!

Video; un: leslie

[foundfamilies]

_{[It's a good thing that Leslie remembers Tataru's last video announcement, even if she hadn't replied to it, or else she would be getting a very wrong impression of Tataru's age.]}

I don't know if I will be able to help with the things that you need. I don't know anything about music and I've only made sweets a couple of times with a housemate's help, and I don't have a lot of skills in general, but if there is anything you need that I would be able to do, I'd like to help. Getting to prepare for a festival is a lot of fun.

[seemstressed]

_{[Oh look it's another little lady, only this is clearly a little lady of the age variety as well. Leslie will get a smile thrown her way before the Lalafell begins to speak.]}

Will you participate? Ladies such as yourself deserve to be spoiled, surely.

voice;

[sylphid]

What's a seneschal?

[Yeah, that's what Fie's focusing on right now.]

[seemstressed]

I suppose it's a bit like a steward? Someone who tends to others, but usually those of a higher standing in society.

Voice

[quintessent]

What a wonderful idea. I'm sure I know three boys who would be willing to help.

[Their names rhyme with Mance, Meith, and Miro.]

[seemstressed]

Princess Allura! Oh, that's so wonderful to hear!

You'll be celebrating, won't you?

video;

[fordola]

So you'll be forcin' your holidays on the people of this place, huh? [ Fordola didn't sound angry - more amused. ]

[seemstressed]

'Force' is such a strong word. I like 'encourage' better. Besides, it's a great holiday!

[morbide]

[local cryptid apapears, his video feed slightly ajar, slightly too dark, and not quite pointed at him all the way... he's a bit woozy, though it'd be hard to tell through sepia video footage.]

You sure keep yourself busy, don't you, Tataru?

[And if there were any doubt to this boy's identity, his voice gives him away, a haunting, playful lilt.]

It sounds like it's pretty important to you. With passion like yours, you'll get a lot of charming princes for all of these princesses! Even back home, I can count all my fingers plus some additional phalanges for perfect candidates... So the same's got to be true here! Looks like you've got a good reception already.

this username...im itchy

[seemstressed]

_{[What is this camera setup...what's happening...Henry are you okay???]}

It's an important holiday back home, especially for those from Ul'dah. I'm beginning to make a collection, it's true, but I haven't found one for myself yet.

_{[Will she regret what she's going to ask? Maybe, maybe not. Henry's struck her as someone who shouldn't be alone right from the get go and this would be a good way of not only getting him involved but keeping an eye on him as well. What could go wrong?]}

Would you like to be my seneschal for the day?

video

[omnicrafter]

Can't I just be a seneschal instead and call it a day?

[seemstressed]

No. You're a lady.

video;

[integrous]

A holiday just for women?

[ SIGN HER RIGHT UP. ]

That's such a good idea! Why don't they have something like that in every world?

[seemstressed]

Just for us!

I don't know, but it's an absolute crime not to have it.

_{[Thus her passion for, y'know, trying to make it happen in some capacity.]}

[wordsinthesoul]

Ah- it is that tiime of year, isn't it? My thanks for the reminder.

[Hm. Time to get an outfit then, perhaps…. But, more importantly-]

What assistance I can give is yours, of course. Some music, perhaps?

[seemstressed]

_{[Time to get an outfit indeed.]}

I'll have tasks for you certainly, Thancred, but perhaps you could show that Garlean commander you're bonded with the true spirit of such a wonderful Eorzean holiday.

[Video]

[krihnnges]

[Ah, yes, Little Ladies' Day! K'rihnn quite forgot the time, and he's very glad for Tataru being on top of it.]

Ah, 'twould be my pleasure to help.

[He gives it some thought before offering:]

I'm a dab hand in the kitchen, so... I could help make the food and sweets for the occasion?

[seemstressed]

_{[Don't forget All Women Are Queens day unless you want to get in hot water K'rihnn.]}

That would be lovely! There definitely needs to be treats to be nibbled on.

[finesseblade]

Wait.
You're inviting everyone to our house. As in the entire city?

[ Oh, Goddess, no. ]

[seemstressed]

No, no! You're mistaken.

_{[He's not. Not really...]}

The ballroom is to act as a starting point of sorts, for those who wish to participate, to find their match, take a few photographs, grab a treat and then hit the town.

You needn't fret.
