This room feels like a beachy upscale hotel. The wood paneled walls are painted white, broken up with tall windows that look out onto the coastline. The sun is gone, leaving only a bloody rim along the horizon. The ceiling is lofty, and small beaded chandeliers hang overhead. Padded green chairs are lined up along a long table, and a huge cart covered in food is being attended by servants. A chill has come with the night, but the fireplace is burning behind the table, the light smell of woodsmoke and warm food is in the air.
Marchese sits at the head of the table, Chloë and Wilhelm at either sides, and another empty chair has a cloth napkin holding its place. Marchese- "Your brother is coming, isn't he?" Wilhelm- "He said he was arranging with 'zeh others, getting the ballroom clear and all that. Marchese- " We'll just have to begin without him. Welcome everyone! Please, help yourself to your dinner, and take a seat." The buffet had all manner of foods, focusing on Litanian dishes. Pasta, roasted meat, wine, gourmet pizza, chocolate cake, just about anything you might expect out of a dinner, but much more than necessary. You could stuff yourself twice over if you wanted. Marchese has a cup of coffee, and Chloë stares at her half-empty wine glass. Maybe they already ate. She at least seems more spritely after her nap. She smiles faintly at the guests.

Ru- Ru seated himself next to Babette and August, if he could, and provided the best possible benefit for August the sun god to speak to their hosts. He was, after all, the life of the show.
Despite how beautiful and fabulous all the food happened to be, Ru did not touch a spoonful, despite his hunger. He poured himself water, and then seated himself serenely and tried not to salivate.
They were still in character, and he was..an actor.

Trileon stares down at herself in the spa robe. She wasn't exactly dressed for a fancy dinner such as this. Nevertheless, she strolls towards the table, taking the seat diagonally across from Wilhelm. 'His eyes. Woah.' She tried not to look at them directly."Heh, sorry. My, uh, other clothes are wet." She says with an embarrassed smile. She noticed that Chloe seemed to be better, which was good, though she didn't have Leo's hoodie anymore.. Trileon started loading her plate with all things sweet and covered in chocolate. Cake, cookies, those tiny-cupcakes, a donut here and there. If it didn't have an unnecessary amount of sugar in it, Leo wouldn't eat it. This is where her inner chocoholic took over. "Hell yes! Donuts!" She laughed an took a massive chomp out of a chocolate donut covered in sprinkles.

August- “Thank you so much, we don't deserve this. We're all chuffed as squirrels." August stared with open horror at the meat but took his seat graciously. He helped himself to vegetables and stared enviously at the cake, it was so not vegan! He looked shifty before cutting himself a small slice and hiding it under lettuce.
Eli hated to go straight for the pizza given the more refined food on display, but damn... that cheese tho. Eli- "Wow, this looks fantastic! I'm starving even more now, haha." (ORIGINALLY...)Eli slid into the seat next to Leo, hoping her energy would keep him confident. He felt sick, but he nonetheless plastered on a faint smile. This wasn't the first time he had kept his emotions inside, but it was harder than usual. His insides were usually faint and airy when he went on social calls. Now, he felt like a black pit.
Nonetheless, he grabbed some pizza and started nibbling. It was delicious, filled with spices and rich cheese. It was much different from the school's food; there, the cheese was akin to plastic. This was classy.
"The food is lovely." He said this to no one in particular.

Marchese- " 'Chuffed as squirrels!' Haha! Antearctans are always so charming. This is our director, of course. I've heard so much about this project
of yours. Tell me, all of you, what would be your next work of art? If resources were not a consideration. All the world at your disposal." Chloë-
"Trying to graduate, probably."

Babette gaped at the mounds of enticing food. She was tempted to dig in; the meal looked and smelled better than anything she'd eaten in ages.
She joined the table with a small portion of pasta, a piece of meat, vegetables, and a sliver of cake for dessert."Signor Marchese, I'm afraid to answer that question. You may think I'm terribly naive."

August- “Well, we're very open to any ideas. We want to do something big, that'll impact on all culture. Personally, I want to put Antearctos on the cultural map. Make my folks proud.”
Eli- "Oh gosh, haha, umm... I'd really like to work on another movie maybe. I had a really great time..."
(ORIGINALLY...)"Social issues interest me, as of late. I think I'd like to work on something more socially critical next time. Maybe about sexuality, body politics, something like that."

Marchese- "Naive? No no, do tell!" Wilhelm- "Myself, I am curious where the interest in 'zeh films of the past 'hass come from? Is it a reaction to the modern times?" Chloë- "It's pretty hip right now..." August begins to think that Wilhelm looks a tad familiar, but he can't think of from where. Maybe he's just remembering him from the premiere.

Trevor entered onto the scene at about the time Trileon and Eli had. He sat himself down directly in front of the tray of cups filled with zabaglione. He takes one for himself, but his eyes were less on the food than the guests. Eli and Leo were entertaining with their spirited snooping, but it was Marchese that drew the bulk of his interest.
Trevor- "Ah. This is traditional pizza, too?"
Marchese- "But of course! For my young friends, solo il meglio! You have a taste for the traditional?"
Eli- "Yeah! I never had anything like this before. I don't even recognize half of these- oh-- oh it's just a caper. Good stuff."

She smiled at Trevor, who was just too sweet for words!"Well. I'd like to act in a romance. Something timeless, passionate, and suspenseful. Oh. And tragic. It must have a bitter end. This project would test my range of emotions. Like lust, love, sorrow." She might be laying it on a little thick. Could be time to tone down the emotion speak."But, well, those kinds of movies have fallen out of style. And my friends say they're cheesy." What did Chloë think, she wondered. Marchese- "Oh dear no, that is tremendously charming. You're sure to be a hit at the party tonight." Wilhelm- "I appreciate 'zese goals in a young actor. Chloë, you will learn well from your friend." Chloë- "Yeah... I'm sure I will." She smiled bashfully at Babette and went back to circling the rim of her wine glass with a tiny finger.

Ru- "Oh, delightful, I think we can bring a lot to the genre, all and all...Have...I seen you before, Mr. Wilhelm? You have a...strikingly vampiric figure." He had such piercing eyes... Ru envied them. His hair color was not a natural black, and being so naturally bleached wasn't flattering at all. He wanted to be, as svelt as these men, a true aristocrat... He smiled faintly, dreamily, as if he was within another time and space, and watched the others. In truth, he wished he was like Chloe... Wilhelm- "Hahaha, I am an actor in my homeland, but not for a long time." Chloë- "He's pretty good actually. We've been pr--"
Wilhelm- "Tss, it is a secret?" Chloë- "Oh yeah. I'll tell you later, I guess."
Eli- "Hey so that's pretty cool you found our film! Where did you hear about it?"
Marchese- "Word gets around quickly in the art community. There's not much fodder for Glennish film fans. Not since the Cudgel Film's days, really!" Wilhelm-
"We are looking for young artists lately, not many are interested in classical film. I 'vass looking for a young actor particularly, and am lucky enough to find your lovely friend." Chloë- "Thanks." (ORIGINALLY...)Eli didn't know how to answer the question. He didn't really care all that much about the past, he was following August's lead. Research was important, of course, but he didn't exactly have an 'artful' answer.
'Maybe I could get some answers, at least. Just gotta be careful.'"I'm curious...what brought your attention to our film? You both seem to be quite the fans."

Leo gave Eli a look. A look that said, "Get some answers. I'll BRB." It was subtle, something only he should have been able to see. Hopefully, no one else at the table noticed..
"Would you all, uh, excuse me for a second? I'd like to go have a smoke and check to see if my clothes are dry." As she stood from the table, she elbowed Eli in the shoulder.

A servant shook his head at Trileon. Servant- "Your clothing are being prepared. It will be soon, but not yet."

Trileon turned to nervously look at the servant, but managed to put on a polite smile. Leo- "Oh, uh, well. I'll only be a minute then. I'm dying for a cigarette." Eli- "For real. Me... too...?" She began to back towards the hallway leading to the outside, with Eli by her side.
