Hello friends! I'm bringing 'Fina back after the AC, and she needs a Project. Inspired by The Gilded Age (which I've finally learned to spell!), she will be organizing a charity bazaar in support of "the children"—basically, a fund to send poor orphans to the Blishwick school and build a ramshackle dormatory for the school so they don't turn to a life of crime and prostitution. Huzzah!

The bazaar will take place in late April/early May, but obviously needs to be ~organized. Invitations have been sent out to the top list below including mention of any "out" daughters at home, and an advertisment has been placed in Witch Weekly to let interested ladies know of the preliminary meeting later this month! Ultimately, the event will need:

  • An organizing board of 3-5, chaired by Rufina and largely selected by Rufina
  • Ladies willing to run stalls at the bazaar (an excellent opportunity for debutantes to get some charity on their pre-marital resume!)
  • Ladies willing to write imploring letters to businesses to donate goods
  • Ladies willing to write a cheque and call it a day

OOC, commitment can be as low as "I allow my character to be mentioned as partaking" to "I will post everywhere all the time" :P

ON THE LIST
Would be directly solicited; can opt out



Augusta King





Media Scrimgeour
Zandra Malfoy
Georgiana Dashwood


Josephine Cosgrove

MORE THAN WELCOME
Have to opt in—daughters would often partake in lieu their mothers, or would just be dragged along.
Marcella Weasley


Belphoebe Lestrange





Araminta Scrimgeour








HAVE SOME SIDE EYE
We don't want you but you might be able to worm your way in for the right price...







EVERYONE ELSE
This is an activity for UC women of good social standing. Generally speaking, working women would not be involved as Socialite-ing and Debutante-ing are full-time gigs, but some exceptions can be made depending on the circumstances.
Consider Torie useful in some capacity!
Ooo Clarissa needs more ic things to do besides her weird Antagnostic Flirting with Morgan so she is definitely in. XD
would very much opt in! She would prefer more "behind the scenes" esc work such as writting letters and planning over task like running stalls but will if asked to!

Not on your list but if she'd be taken, would love to help ie run a stall more because it looks good than because she actually cares.
LOVING Gilded Age!

Nephele is in - and probably dragging with her - although it would have be definitely post her current missing child hysteria!
Stall running most likely - Nel would love to be an organiser.


Eugenia Blackwood UCPB would be in if given the tap, with Ginny getting dragged along to help.
Probably as stall runners
would be more than happy to attend! And would genuinely encourage Rhiannon to join her.

Can't help but notice that , , and have not been mentioned on any of those lists. XD
Added Liliana and Rosie where Rufina estimates they should go by virtue of their ~life so far~ Wink

I didn't know enough about Echo to include her on a list—same as a lot of characters! So she falls under the "everyone else" until proven otherwise xD
is currently inactive but would be involved in this as much as Rufina would allow her to be
Harriet will absolutely be there and will likely commandeer the most prominent stall. She is available for threads and would be happy to be on the organising board. She IS her auntie, after all, so she should get a prestigious position.

Angel will be dragged there by her mother and, like Torie, will participate in whatever capacity you require.

Ambrosia can write to people, Annabelle is far too fucking busy do it yourself Fina, and Elladora could be a haunting crow in the corner of the room that's there to keep an eye on Ursula and keep track of the money if you need someone responsible and sensible.

Helena & Minnie could also be in attendance if anyone has a desperate need for an NPC in a thread.

And that's my lot!
will try to weasel her way in, would love to have a thread around this Smile
is likely in attendance wherever she’s wanted

I don’t think is out of mourning yet but expect her to make several monetary contributions

is also there in some capacity but secretly rolling her eyes

I think that’s all my ladies, all of them inactive so feel free to do as you wish and lmk if you’re unsure
Jocasta Flint and her daughter would likely take part

Honoria Rookwoods mother would probably try to get involved in some respect

would break her own neck for an invite

Her turning up the bazaar to get the cold shoulder would be a lovely thread! :D
Your lady (or ladies) are chatting with Rufina following the first organizational meeting of the charity bazaar!
is likely to be a stall runner -or at the very least ridiculously generous
