UCAB | REP 8+ | NYE Ball

What: Imperial New Years Celebration Ball
Who: Viola Foxwood & the Foxwood Fam
Cost: By invite only - PM/Discord Fox (I'm too lazy to type everyone out lol; the usual suspects though)
Where: Foxwood Estate, Bath
Why: To celebrate the New Year, get Basil hitched (not), and because I needed a setting for a core plot moment that forced the family together.
When: December 31, 1894

"The decorations were spectacular, even in Basil’s own rather uninterested esteem. The inspiration had been some imperial court or another and as such, the estate at Bath had been transformed with rich, opulent fabrics, Fabergé egg displays, snow-covered fir trees, and plush furs. He and his family had been instructed to wear deep jewel tones so Basil had opted for a dark blue. (He’d left the fur-lined cloak his mother had suggested by the wayside, feeling it a bit too… something for his tastes.) There were ballet performances throughout the evening and - perhaps the only really interesting facet as far as Basil himself was concerned - a caviar station that had been brought in from the Caspian Sea. (He quite liked caviar, actually.)"

Inspiration: Imperial Russian winter courts and opulent traditions.
Décor: Opulent fabrics, gilded mirrors, Fabergé egg displays, snow-covered fir trees, and plush furs.
Dress Code: Jewel-toned gowns, fur-trimmed cloaks, and gold brocade suits.
Entertainment: Russian ballet-inspired performances, traditional dances, and caviar tasting stations.
