Did You Know?
Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ
Had it really come to this? Passing Charles Macmillan back and forth like an upright booby prize?

What: "Sweethearts & Sunsets" Valentine's Day Ball
Who: NPC UC lady hosting. UC and noteworthy/respectable/fun MC folks.

NPC UC lady is secretly working with Yente Ventus to throw this party... so really the guest list is "whoever WW cares about"
Where: Wellingtonshire Residence
Why: V-day shenanigans
When: 14 February
Ostensibly it's Just Another Party with some sunset color scheme and romantic-ish themed food and drinks. Dancing, etc etc.

There are several magical things in affect here:
  • If two guests make eye contact while speaking, they cannot be overheard — the conversation just sounds like background noise to others.
  • There are plenty of small rooms around the venue that are 'fairly private' and it's easy to slip in or out of them unnoticed.
  • Servants will be dropping hints to the guests about the two items above.
  • Food and drinks are laced with some mild aphrodisiacs (not amortentia style just a little friskier than normal) to encourage guests to use those rooms.
  • There will be a REVEAL at midnight where people who DID use those rooms to make out (or do more) are going to have magical lipstick marks anywhere they were kissed/etc. (Note: nothing about the spell will indicate who they were with, but still plenty of room for scandal and speculation)
  • None of the guests will remember the reveal after leaving because we're not actually trying to destroy society.
  • The hostess DOES remember so there might be some speculation in WW in the future (but they may or may not guess the partner correctly)

Basically: an excuse to move your ships along, an excuse to have some quick scandal!drama, minimal consequences to follow. Happy Valentine's Day!
