[Talent show open post!]

After a couple of minor obstacles yesterday, Nina had finally set up the café quite nicely for the talent show. Halfway through the set-up process, Nightingale had been whisked away by Claudius on some impromptu detective task. Nina almost despaired for a moment before she roped Enjolras into it instead. Between the two of them, they successfully set up a makeshift stage in the corner of the café. With Janet’s advice and assistance (the most stylish person Nina knows!), they decorated the area above and around the stage in a look that was both modern and retro; they hung a few Edison light bulbs from the ceiling above the stage, they placed a couple of cute tables and matching chairs that they found in the basement in a semi-circle around the stage, and they also hung a couple of retro signs on the walls behind the stage as a backdrop.

Nina also asked both Laertes and Tress if they'd be willing to provide some snacks for the talent show and they’ve provided more than enough. Laertes made little pastry shells, some filled with bacon, spinach, and gruyere and some with candied walnuts and brie. He also made a small set with pears and cherries with cinnamon, in case anyone was vegan. Tress made some nut muffins and hand held fruit pies. Sagramore had been entrusted with coffee duty, of course. And finally, right before the show, Nina ensured that all the windows were wide open and a fresh afternoon breeze was blowing in. Magnus had seemed uncertain about going indoors and Nina wanted to make sure that he felt more comfortable.

As the guests slowly file in, Nina is waiting in a stylish mid-length dark red dress (Corporalki colors). And now... it's showtime!


[[It's talent show time!! There's no pressure at all to post your character's performance right away; please respond at your leisure! PM the typist if you would like Nightingale to provide your act an actual introduction, otherwise you can leave a comment with your character's performance. Please coordinate timing of the acts in the chat if timing is important.

For all characters attending, they are encouraged to react to each performance as well (recommended: turn notifs on!) – and they are encouraged to thread in the reactions as well, however caveat: the thread limit is 6-8 comments total maximum before "the next act is starting". Hopefully this post will bring some great performances and some mingling in the interactions! Have fun!]]
