Pleasure Gardens Coming Soon

[08:50] Velisara Venetari (morrigan.evergarden)'s lips curved in a knowing smile beneath her veils.  Her tone laced with quiet reassurance.  "Ah... I think the best way to answer your questions is to let you discover it for yourself.  The gardens will open their gates to all Free during the Grand Opening Masquerade in a night of music, delight, and more than a few surprises.  You will find it just outside of the city in the outer lands.  Where the farm used to be.  Now the air carries the mingled scent of the Thassa and the blooms of the garden." 

She shifted the scrolls lightly in her hands, hidden eyes glinting with promise.  "While it will indeed have its corners where men and their girls may linger, it is designed for all to enjoy with private membership soon to be made available.  And for those who grow fond of it, private events will be hosted regularly… each offering its own charm."

[09:00] Velisara Venetari (morrigan.evergarden)'s smile warmed at the spark in Kati's voice.  "It will be held on the Seventeenth Day of the Eighth Passage Hand ((08/17/25))," she replied, her tone carrying the subtle cadence of anticipation. "Mark it well, for it will be a night the city will speak of for some time I am sure.  Masks, music, and the unveiling of every hidden corner the gardens have to offer."  Her gaze lingered a moment, a glint of mischief there and in her tone. "I suspect you will find more than one reason to linger long past the first notes of the evening's song." 

She allowed her words to settle as she looked around.  Her voice lowering to a hushed whisper, as if, sharing something not meant to be heard by all ears but indeed it would be the case as word spread.  "Even the Free Woman, if they are so inclined, can dress as decadent as they wish.  They will be masked after all.  And a change in tone of voice could always add to the allure." she mused.

[09:08] Velisara Venetari (morrigan.evergarden)'s smile deepened, her voice dipping into a tone both reassuring and enticing.  "Indeed, masks though only to add a touch of mystery.  They allow one to wander the gardens unburdened by titles or expectations… if only for a night. I think you might find the experience far more liberating than you expect." she stated softly before adding, "And one does not have to dress overly decadent.  One can simply come masked, wearing clothes not easily recognized and enjoy the evening."
