We could also use a Discord server or Google Meet both of which don't require a professional account just requires someone either setting up a temporary server or just starting the meeting!

I'm more of a sewing type person (currently making my first Regency suit) but I would love to join! Mondays work best for me as well and it would help with the tedium of hand sewing long seams if I was on a call with people!

@Duke James Richmond (Greg) *points to Ambrose cackling while drinking wine in the corner* That is all I am saying XD

@Lord Mason Ember Of course! We can talk in PMs if you'd prefer?

@Lord Aramis Matthew Beauclerk (Jordana) Absolutely!! I'm excited :D

Your Name: Lord Ambrose Etienne Galois Arrived: Arrived alone at 11:30am Arrived With: A few bottles of imported palm wine from the Dahomey Kingdom (For the hosts and company) and a small bolt of Jonquil (think pure bright yellow) silk taffeta tied neatly with a matching bow (for the host) and a meticulously embroidered reticule. Activities: - Lively conversation with @Duke James Richmond (Greg) discussing new wine imports (He directly handed him one of the bottles of palm wine) , changing fashions and the need for perhaps another visit to La Couronne (assessing the suit His Grace was wearing), and general gossip I imagine. He would also probably laugh as the game of charades are happening. - Chatting with @Lady Violet Heloise Blankeney-Coventry (Elizabeth) about politics, possibly far too loud conversation about their feelings on the fashions of English dandies, speaking about new silk imports. ((He also attempts to give her the reticule he made for her, but he was brought into a conversation and the party ended before he could so he sends it with a letter later. )) - Conversation with @Earl Nicholas Howard about the theatre and discussing his poetry recitation, Ambrose INSISTED the Lord should learn French if he wishes to recite poetry from here on (in a very joking manner of course). - Fussing with Bartholomew's vest as he passes every so often and discussing with the Earl that he should also come to shop to get a matching vest sometime soon -Small chats with @Eleanor Savery (Hilary) to ask after her older brothers and insisting they come down to the shop to be refit for a few waist coats. He also was seen complimenting her outfit and suggesting a new style of spencer he had seen in fashion plates. -General flitting around the room chatting with people, admiring garments, snarking and gossiping Interactions with Emmeline: - Handed her a bottle of his imported palm wine officially on behalf of the Galois family from the Kingdom of Dahomey - Gifted her Jonquil silk taffeta imported from the Kingdom of Benin. Spoke of similar silks and incredibly light linens currently being made there and brought to England frequently. -Chatted about a few of the latest fashions and potential dresses he could make in his shop, insisted she visit soon if only to chat Departed At: 3:30 PM Departed With: Alone (Open to suggestions if anyone wanted to talk to him as he left)

@Eleanor Savery (Hilary) No problem at all!

@Eleanor Savery (Hilary) There are VODs immediately available to view on Twitch luckily! Here is a link: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/926068863

Ack I don't know how I missed answering this apologies! Thank you! That would be wonderful (both Lady Emmeline visiting the shop and setting up some investment negotiations because the Galois family is trying to solidify connections within England!) And absolutely chatting about gossip or business post promenade would be fun as well :D

@Lord Nicholas Howard Haha XD I will send you a message to go over some things! But outside of that absolutely Ambrose needs more companions to chat with at parties and to make sure Lord Nicholas looks his best!

@Duchess Eudora St. Clair Hello! I look forward to helping your character look fabulous and maybe some gossip?! :D

@Lady Jessamine St. Clair (Meredith) That would be wonderful! The way I have it written is that Ambrose is a tailor (he specializes in suiting or more structured garments like a spencer or a pelisse) but he absolutely employs dress makers and an entire team it would absolutely be easy enough for him to sit in the shop and gossip as a fitting or a drop off is happening and we can go from there! :D 👀

@ Duke James Richmond (Greg) Hello! That would be wonderful! (Apologies for later reply I am currently moving + working)! Ambrose is often in Bath as his family has an estate there (exactly where is pending and I will probably keep it relatively loose narratively speaking though at some point I will absolutely grab a reference image) and he would love sitting with the Duke going over gossip, politics, and assisting him in looking as good as he possibly could at all times! I look forward to our conversations!

@Lady Violet Heloise Blankeney-Coventry (Elizabeth) That would be wonderful! Ambrose himself is a tailor and he employs dressmakers within his shop as well as a milliner or two! Lady Violet is always welcome to talk to him about changing trends or maybe adding a few splashes of color to her wardrobe!

Hey hey! In real life I am a trans man who is asexual and biromantic! Ambrose is bisexual with a slight leaning toward men :D

Character name: Lord Ambrose Etienne Galois Bio: Ambrose was born in the Kingdom of Benin to a wealthy family of silk, fine linen, and wine traders. He is the middle child between two older siblings (twins, brother and sister) and his youngest brother. He has chosen to work as a tailor (we all need a hobby) and studied under a master in Benin and brought that work to London where he now owns a large shop along Saville Street called La Couronne, though he also spends time in Bath admiring the work of tailors there. He also manages (partially) the family business with his eldest brother. He's a fantastic tailor, a bit of a gossip, and is known to be a rather dazzling conversationalist when he is in the mood. He is well read (a graduate of Sankore University) and has a keen eye for trends (both social and fashion oriented). He is always around should anyone a shoulder to cry on or riveting conversation at an event. He affords himself the luxury of the occasional ride in the country on horseback or a seat in the shade as people promenade in the park (though that might be mostly to admire the fine spencers and fitted suits and not the people, who knows). Orientation: Bisexual Wanted connections: -Clients/patrons of his shop (or his families business, they do have rather good shot silks and taffetas) -Friends to promenade or take a trip to the country with -Extended family (His father is from Benin and his mother is from Dahomey) -Business minded folks -Anyone willing to talk about current events with (society, political, or fashion oriented) -Romantic prospects -Fellow potential trouble makers????? ((I was very nervous to make this and hope it gives the info needed haha))
