Its a quiet afternoon and Mabelle is sitting by the bar, waiting to answer any question that might exist regarding the Art and Culture district she is hoping to build in Artshall. As people begin to pour in, Mabelle smiles, "Come on it, there are some light refreshment, seat yourselves"

Kiera walks in and helps herself to some tea as she nods hello to mabelle "Sounds like an exciting endeavor" she notes as she looks about to find a seat

The lithe form of Jareth pushes the door open and his casual gate almost a legato type song as he walks in. At hearing the offer of refreshments the actor nods politely to those gathered by the Lady Laurent and picks up a cup of tea as well and stands slightly off and to the side to do what he does best and observe.

Cerys enters quietly and directs herself to the seating area, nodding in greetings as she passes, "Greetings."

Mabelle smiles warmly to Kiera, Jareth and Cerys as they enter, "Lady Wyverheart, Jareth, Princess Cerys, thank you for joining me today. I know I made some comments about the district but I wanted to clarify more and then brainstorm, see how you can fit in the project. Arts-Hall by name is a place of Art. The Art district started with me wanting an Art Gallery and losing my way", she laughs. "So we took some land and decided to build a whole district. It will include an Art Gallery, Museum, Library, Archive, A theatre for performance arts", she looks at Jareth saying that, "A shrine to Jayus, House of Fabrics, shops, coffee places and the like and an art school, so it will appeal to a lot of people, I believe"

Kiera nods and begins writing in her journal as MAbelle speaks. She looks aboutt though and realizes she has not met the others in attendence "Lady Kiera Wyvernheart" she offers with a nod to each "Pleasure to meet you. As a scholar, it makes the most sense for me to help with the library and archives, though i support all the arts"

Jareth tilts his head listening, "That sounds very interesting..." He hmms trying to picture this in his head though stays silent to hear more of the Lady's idea and not just blurting any thoughts that aren't fully formed yet.

Cerys looks over briefly to Jareth and nods, more to herself than to anyone before turning her attention to Kiera once more.

Mabelle expresses to Kiera, "Well, I'm still arranging teams and organizing who does what, but Duke Hadrian Mazetti is heading the delegation with everything regarding books. Princess Cassima will help with the Museum, so once that is arranged, you will likely be assisting by teaming up with them", she turns to Jareth then, "The Performance Art Center. I need someone to help build the team for actors in Artshall, perhaps write a couple playing, hold rehersals for opening night, perhaps guest actors from the city. Is that something you think you can do?". Then turning to Cerys, Mabelle asks her, "Forgive me if I do not remember, Princess. Are you engaged in arts or anything of those things appeal to you? Disciple of Jayus perhaps?".

Mabelle perks "Oh and Nightingale Gianna is opening a Bard's college!"

Cerys lifts a hand, shaking her head lightly, "It is something I enjoy and think that perhaps I could be of assistance with in the future. Pardon me, I have just returned and I am merely attempting to reincorporate myself into various things." She smiles distantly.

Jareth arches his scarred brow at this, "While I do appreciate being included in this and would love to help in any way to bring your vision to the city... would not the playwright Prince Niklas and his wife Princess Sabella's name bring more weight to such a venture and more support from the nobility of the city? Perhaps even we include your cousin Lady Zoey, at my urging she was working on a play herself before she had her wee one." The actor of course knowing the stigma of his up bringing and how some will shy away because of it.

Kiera nods 'I've attend a feke of Duke Mazetti's Salon discussions, so he should know my name and face at least. I've met the princess only once , but shall be happy to assist them both as they require.

Mabelle assures Cerys, "This will take a long time to complete, if you find yourself interested in any stage you can let me know. This is Princess Cerys Velenosa by the way, Master Jareth of the Blackrose Theatre and Lady Kiera Wyvernheart from the scholars." Mabelle admits to Jareth, "I am still waiting for Prince Niklas response, you are welcome to write my cousin if you like. I have a mind to place the weight of the performing arts center on you as a branch leader", she smiles to him, "If you will accept". She then turns to Kiera, "Have you any ideas you can think of ? Something you'd like to do?"

Jareth bows with a florish to the Lady, and teases, "Is this vengance for almost catching us on fire dancing? I remember seeing that look in your eye that night m'lady." The actor straightens back up and does offer a rueful smile, "Joking asside, I am honored you would think of me and put faith in me for this."

Mabelle grins at Jareth, "Revenge is best served cold", she winks to him and adds, "I think you will do well, if you put your heart in it. You are a good actor. Perhaps manage to pull my not cousin Narcissa into it".

Kiera hms "Well, I'm certain;y interested in helping fill out the libraries collection and I'm curious what you have in mind for the collection. I do not know much about the Artshall region and look forward to take this opportunity to find out "

Mabelle smiles to Kiera, "Well clearly there are the archives which will contain history books and old writings, the Museum for artifacts, some we already have and will collect from places they are in the city. I'm not sure if that falls under scholars. And Libraries for all sorts of books including reading".

Cerys arches a single eyebrow at the mention of fire, which immediately makes her seem quite amused, but she makes no mention of it. After a moment, she looks over to Kiera, "I am as curious as you are."

Jareth chuckles softly at her revenge comment, "Duly noted, Lady Laurent. I am sure between you and I we cold motivate your not cousin to join in on the fun." He lifts his tea cup and takes a slow drink from it while listening to the plans. "I do have only one question which I do not say to sound negative but this will be a district where all citizens even those of the Lowers will be welcomed? Art of course being the one thing that should not separate the noble from commoner."

Mabelle grins at Cerys, "We once attended a ball together and we danced and he caught fire from a lantern", she laughs, "And always burned me in the process". Mabelle then expresses to Jareth sincerely, "The District is in Artshall and is designed for both the people of Artshall who are mostly commoners aside from some elevated families and of course guests from all over Arvum. We already have a lot of traffic for the waystation outside the city, now they will all be forced to get in"

Kiera smiles "Well I don't speak formally for the scholars but I don't think that that its members would want to monopolize any one endeavor but i know we count both explorers and historians among or number so you may find some interst in both the museum and library there

Cerys nods several times at Mabelle's relating of the event, the smile showing more in her eyes than on her very lips. Once she finds a pause in the conversation, she speaks, "Aside from being voluntold..," she says playfully, glancing to Jareth, "Are there any others already officially assisting, or is this the beginning?"

Mabelle actually mentions to Kiera, "If you can get people to join who are part of historians or scholars, I'd be happy to sit with them. Include them. As for who volunteered, Members of the peerage and known people of the city. Its quite a big deal for me. Samira, the artist, Caprice, Vincenzo as well, The Mazetties, The Amadeoes"

Kiera nods "I will see what I can do" she smiles

Mabelle nods to Kiera, "Lets start by finding more hand, if you like, send them to me"

Cerys says to Mabelle, "It is wonderful what you are doing, thank you for having the initiative."

Mabelle smiles warmly to Cerys, "I enjoy little projects like these", Mabelle winks to her when she uses the word small.

Jareth looks bashful at the retelling of the event with the torch. "Ruined a perfectly good tunic that evening. Though also am glad the tea that was doused on me didn't ruin your dress. I appreciate the other lady's entusiasm to help just not sure a cup of tea was sufficient." At the description of the locale and also hearing Samira's name brings another smile to the actor's face.

Mabelle chuckles amusedly, "Well if you have other questions let me know. I will assign people their leadership branches and we'll let it start trickling"

Kiera nods "Please tell Duke Mazetti to reach out to me as endeavors develop and I will send individuals interested in both the library and museum your way"

Mabelle inclines her head to Kiera, "Of course. Thank you for helping out"

Cerys presses her lips together into the line and then says to Mabelle, "And I shall certainly let you know, as I learn a bit more about this endeavor, where I might best be able to assist. Though, I confess, I quite like Lady Kiera's direction."

Mabelle smiles warmly to Cerys, "Of course Princess, Take time to settle in the city, as I said, its a whole district, unlikely to be built in one day", she winks to her, "So once you feel you are ready we can discuss your role?"

Cerys nods at Mabelle, "I will definitely make sure to discuss that with you. Thank you." She then stands, "Once again, thank you for having me."

Mabelle smiles certainly, "You are welcome to stay and enjoy the food here"

Kiera smiles at Cerys "Regardless of your involvement in the project. I am always happy to speak with those with affinity for learning and exploration. Any excuse really. I'm afraid i've an errand to run though. Nice to meet you messere jareth
