[attr="class","aurelie"] [attr="class","aurelie_lyrics"]Let the chips fall where they may. [attr="class","aurelie_body"]Unnoticed or forgotten by the more glamorous, high-profile guests socializing, flirting, and dabbling in intrigue with each other, Aurelie lingered at the bar to watch with amusement as Shred found himself suddenly fielding a furious onslaught of drink orders. As the bartender in the intensely purple suit grabbed glasses, bottles, and cans from all over the bar, poured drinks, and grumbled dourly under his breath, Aurelie thought she spotted him doing something... odd to one of those drinks before handing it over. She watched alertly as he poured champagne into a flute and passed it to her, her single uncovered eye fixed on his face and hands. This time, she didn't catch the bartender doing anything out of the ordinary. Perhaps she'd just imagined it the first time? "Thank you," Aurelie replied warmly. She took a quick sip and found that, while the champagne wasn't quite the same as last year's—this one tasted sweeter and made her think of pears, nutmeg, and apple pie—it was still excellent. Her expression softened when the bartender cracked open his own can of beer and gulped it down as thirstily as if it were cold water in the desert. Feeling more affinity at that moment with the hardworking bartender than with the chattering socialites throughout the rest of the casino, Aurelie quietly slipped a thirty-Pokedollar note into the tip glass on the counter. I figure this shows gratitude and courtesy better than any small talk I could possibly make, she thought. At the same time, she raised her glass to him while privately hoping she didn't spill any champagne in the process, considering that she only had the one working eye. "À votre santé," she offered as a brief toast, before drinking deep. "Good luck tonight! Hope your break happens soon."With that, Aurelie turned when dinner was announced, eager to sample the offerings of the best chefs in the region, and wandered up toward the fourth-floor dining room. Sitting down at an ivory-covered table, she watched the dancers' show with delight. Under the shining spotlight, the very stage seemed aglow with ethereal moonlight, rendering the dancers' graceful movements even more spellbinding and dreamlike as they whirled faster and faster in a performance that stirred her blood and inspired her imagination. Afterward, she could only murmur to herself, her cheeks flushed with emotions she couldn't quite name, "That was wonderful! I hope we see those dancers again."When the lights came back on in the dining room, though, the spell was broken and Aurelie came back to herself quickly as waiters began circulating and taking orders. She shook her head briefly, as though to clear it of any lingering cobwebs. Raising one hand, she beckoned to an attentive waiter, who obligingly came over and listed off the available dinner options. "I'll take the roast Farfetch'd, please," she decided, after considering all the options and their ramifications and possibilities extensively and thoughtfully. "And more champagne, if you please. Thank you."TL;DR: - Toasts Shred and unobtrusively leaves a tip - Wanders up to the dining room, quietly enjoys the show, and orders dinner - Completed PROMPT: Comment on the dinner and/or the show and PROMPT: Order food from the menu.[newclass=.aurelie]width:420px;padding:40px;background:#862939;[/newclass] [newclass=.aurelie img]height:100px;width:100px;padding:15px;border:1px solid #fff;border-radius:100px;[/newclass] [newclass=.aurelie_lyrics]text-align:center;font-family:verdana;font-size:9px;text-transform:uppercase;color:#eee;letter-spacing:1px;[/newclass] [newclass=.aurelie_body]width:420px;padding:40px;background:#222;font-size:14px;line-height:16px;text-align:justify;font-family:calibri;color:#aaa;letter-spacing:.5px;[/newclass] [newclass=.aurelie_tag]text-align:center;font-size:12px;[/newclass] [newclass=.aurelie_tag a]font-size:12px;[/newclass] [newclass=.cred]text-align:center;font-size:8px;color:rgb(132, 132, 132);letter-spacing:1px;font-family:verdana;[/newclass] [newclass=.cred a]color:rgb(132, 132, 132);font-size:8px;letter-spacing:1px;font-family:verdana;[/newclass]
