to be most aggrieved that I did not get married off in the last IPOAT thread? Won't someone think of Nigel?

[BeribbonedGibbon]

Well, am I?

ties yellow ribbons round the tree so the good ole soldier boys know we have been minding them

Rules?

There are Rules???

I'm not sure I like the sound of that

Oh all right, there aren't really, but Mimi is very good at Narrative Control.

Narrative control is definitely needed. It's impossible to wander off plot unless you know what the plot is.

Mimi was always terribly strict, but she's too busy making pies now. It was my job originally, but i got burn out and stress, so Mimi took over and was quite splendid.

RIght. Listen up. There WILL be a party tonight. I want belles. I want beaus. I want dashing captains. I want rogues. I want plot development and I want punch. OK? Don't forget frocks. You'll find the cliche trolley over by the canteen. I'm on a tight schedule folks, lets get moving.

Told you she was strict.

Oooooh. Love it when you're all strict.

What is the required anachronism percentage?

BTW 10/10 for your Xmas name, Riven

Are we allowed, lace, satin, feathers, hoops, diamonds, long gloves, hair straighteners,etc
Not all in the same sandwich obviously?
Can we invite certain beaus of choice?

Yes indeed. But no hair straighteners, curling tongs only. Be ready with good name changes and witty dialogue....

Party name changes?

well more like extra character changes....

Well hello my fine Southern fillies!

Oh, my, General Sherman, have you lost your way to Pa's smoking room?

You behold us ladies preparing for the ball! Forgive our state of undress!

Fie, Miss Mimi, your pa is callin' for you, he wants you to loosen his laces and light his cigar. I shall escourt Willy to the parlour where I believe Prissy has set out some light refreshments before our little party. Come Willy.

Oh my! See how Robert sulks so! Come along Robert, you gentlemen can talk war and carnage while I flutter and gasp.

Why Hully Belle were you not wearing that outfit at the Last Chance Saloon only last week?
< flies down corridor to hide>

Miss Mini, I believe you are confusin' me with Harlotte LaRue, I declare that girl copies ever last one of my outfits, but she still carn't get herself a man.
