@(Rachel) Hazel Wynnewood Flora is at Ms. wynnewood‘s disposal.

@(Rachel) Hazel Wynnewood Flora did send an inquiry with her experience / audition pieces. I hope it was received.

I was actually wondering about the cast of the opera and if Flora had secured a role.

Flora Owen will attended the hunt & party. She will be late to the hunt but arrive driving a cart pulled by a wooly miniature horse. Her two dachshunds Beatrix & Ollivander will be in tow. Flora will seek out @Callisto Rose (RustingRabbit) and introduce herself. Flora will warmly greet Lady Lorelai & Aramis Beauclerk. She will also introduce herself to Sir Peter Fells, complimenting his attire and remarking she too is particularly fond of the color orange. (more to come but wanted to get the rsvp in!)

@Callisto Rose (RustingRabbit) Flora will be sure to seek you out.

I received one. I sent 3.

@Alice Greenleaf (Allie) airtable? Oh the link! Yes.

Sure! You can see my background in a different thread — I make my debut in the April newsletter.

I’m going old fashioned with 3 ring binders and sleeves for physical letters / newsletters. I’m also going to keep copies of the letters I write (I’m writing soon! )

Note — Flora will make her gazette debut in April.

Here’s Flora Owen (I was actually wearing regency attire in the 2 photos I used).

Full Name: Flora Owen Location: London Family Business: Flora's deceased husband Miles made a fortune with the East India Company Family Members/Housemates: 2 dachshunds, Beatrix and Ollivander Personal Vocation: At the moment none, but she has a scheme Class Standing: Nouveau Riche, Merchant, Originally working class You can read more about Flora in her connections wanted thread. https://www.romancingjan.com/forum/gaming-forum/flora-owen-connections

In addition to playing whist at Lady Emmeline's shindig it could be possible we crossed paths while you were in India since I did travel there periodically. It could literally be a -- Hmmm -- you seem familiar. or oh! you're THAT person.

@Duke James Richmond (Greg) Yes, we did do a wonderful job at the whist table. But Flora was getting a bit chatty and loud at that point. And it was about 4, so it seemed best to suggest the cab sooner rather than later. Flora'd had enough of the scene by that point anyway lol.

I had posted something previously, but then deleted it, thinking it was implausible that Flora would have been at this party. But..... Your Name: Flora Owen Arrived: 3ish Arrived With: alone Activities: Flora was invited as a guest of @Earl Nicholas Howard . Flora would certainly have turned a few heads with her fur trimmed pelisse and hat. Flora's decided to drop by to ruffle a few feathers and have a bit of a giggle. Flora is a bit infamous, you see. She can never turn down an opportunity to cause a bit of scene. Flora drank a noticeable amount of champagne considering how long she attended. She made a beeline for Nicholas and the whist tables. She handily trounced all competitors and left with a fair about of Nicholas's coin as a result. Interactions with Emmeline: Brief. Flora brought Emmeline a silk pouch filled with the finest Assam tea imported by the East India Company. This would have been the first time they had met, although Nicholas would have given Flora a bit of info about Emmeline. The meeting was, curious? Departed At: 4ish Departed With: was seen talking with some fashionable type but breezed out as oddly as she arrived.

Obviously you would have attended my wild “art salons” — we also could have met on the continent at some point.

2 dachshunds -- Beatrix and Ollivander (just like IRL)

Military details and styling were are also very popular.

I must admit, I don't completely understand how a pandemic would work. If characters have no pre determined connections, how would they gain them if everyone is literally introducing themselves because meeting in person is not happening? maybe this will be coming clear after reading the newsletter? It would seem that some characters should know each other but would they? Who determines that?
