open | The Commander's Audience at the Palace of Landed Sky
Characters: The Ironwood Emperor Alderwood Commander and anyone who came to speak with the Ironwood Emperor.
Date: June 15th
Location: The Palace of Landed Sky
Situation: The expected holding of an audience for any that care to speak with the Ironwood Emperor, though they will be met instead by the Alderwood Commander.
Warnings/Rating: N/A; to be updated if necessary
The hall is still and white, strung with softly glowing lanterns that are strung up high beyond reach. Outside, the sun is at its zenith, and it filters down through the cloudy glass roof to create a brilliant, nearly blinding ambiance.
The floor is marble, inlaid with mother-of-pearl and ruby quartz. It catches the light, and casts strange patterns on the walls.
The room itself is almost eerily silent. No noise, no echoes. No one and nothing vaguely human, excepting the presence of Evandau. The Alderwood Commander stands before the Emperor's empty throne with patient expression and posture reminiscent to the at-ease bearing of a soldier. He waits to receive the petitioners, kedan and Foreigner alike, in Eshai's place this day. As with her audiences, those wishing to make their case must approach him and he will make not move to shorten the distance between the grand entryway and the throne that he defends.
The 'audience' is an open one, and no one will be turned away. So come one, come all, to the Palace of Landed Sky.
[Actionspam or prose are both acceptable! The Emperor has delegated the audience to Evandau this month and he has been temporarily granted many of the authorities that she naturally holds. Why is that? Well, telling y'all would be too easy, wouldn't it?
Characters will only be admitted into the hall one by one, so there won't be anyone present for anyone else's conversations, and there won't be any 'mingling' in the chamber itself.
By popular demand, we continue to allow mingling for those waiting for an audience in an antechamber. There is a thread header below to allow for that!]

[He follows, choosing to take it as an invitation more than an order for the sake of his own ego.]

This room is simple, betraying the complex futures that it provides glimpses of. Lit by a circular arrangement of lanterns hung from the ceiling, the focal point is a pool laid into the floor at dead centre and encompassing much of the space. Mirrors inlaid in the walls provide endless reflections of the inhabitants.
Evandau steps aside, gesturing for Tarrlok to enter before him.]

He stands quietly, figuring that further instruction is going to be given. His heart is racing, although he is good enough at hiding his emotions that he looks much less nervous than he feels.]
no subject
[Evandau crosses the few steps to the water, kneeling down touch its surface. The water is lukewarm and ready.]
Jump in.
[A simple directive as he stands up and moves about the room, adjusting the lanterns with quarter and two-thirds turns at seeming random.]
