Arrivals at the Entry Hall (Lioncourt's Coronation Party)

[kaolinandbone]

The entry hall of Lioncourt's castle is a vast, gothic thing, with deep burgundy tapestries on the walls and matching carpet underfoot. The precisely-fitted masonry has been polished within an inch of its life, the dark stone gleaming sullenly in the insistently cheery light of the newly-installed electric lamps.

Within the high arches of the surrounding baulaustrades, two women intone the same spell, matching each other's cadence: A pale girl, looking little older than a child, and a tall, red-haired woman with serious slate-grey eyes.

As the last syllable fades, twin portals shimmer into existence: the first multiversal party in the Many Worlds is officially underway!

Lioncourt nods. "That's perfectly alright: the same form of exception has already been made for some similarly cautious guests. Be aware, however, that if you 'defend yourself' too vigorously, the magic may choose to return you to your own world rather abrubtly."

"That is fine. If other people are in immediate physical danger, may I defend them in a similarly as-non-harmful-as-possible manner? I am likely one of the more capable ones of managing it if something happens. But I'm not going to instigate anything."

Lioncourt shrugs. "I doubt that you could be as effective in that capacity as those already acting as security for the event, but if you wish, you may so enlist yourself. I accept your oath. Please, enjoy the party."

"Thank you." She smiles a bit, and then departs to go mingle.
