Do you recall son of the house, Louis Seylouse, partying at Suzi's Heaven? There he met Meliss Brugster, and they already married! Sorry to "do" such major events while nobody's watching, but I'd never reach "our time" if all those details should have attention.
Andrine and Ludvic Seylouse are pretty upset with the high rise builds in Galucca's city region. The picture shows how the view to the ocean is practically no longer there.
Meliss moved in of course, but Andrine is still lady of the house. She recently turned elderly, and eventually she will step back, leaving all the organizing to Louis and Meliss. This morning Andrine ordered a maid, just like the other families up here at Pettonta Heights did. It would be too much to expect Meliss to keep this huge house clean, like Andrine managed in the past...
Today is a very exciting day - an election is ongoing! Galucca Town Council was already chosen, and today everyone will flock to the Town Hall to vote for their candidate for Mayor - either Mr Erasmus Pearlton or Count Junato Pettonta. Andrine already voted for the Count, although Pearlton did well as a Mayor for the past 10 years. Andrine has a strategy, wanting to marry her daughter Chloe into the noble family!
There are two newspaper kiosks in Galucca, and one of them is located in the city region, on Galucca Plaza.
It's managed by Mr. Gorgan Sloth. Andrine often stops by for a talk, it's the perfect way to stay on top of all rumours, but also to find out who she should ask for charity donations.
So, it's Mr. Pearlton for another 10 years then... the Count will still serve as the councillor representing the city region.
Across the Plaza, farther up, Chloe made an errand. She wanted a part time job, and although being a clerk wasn't really that inspiring, she decided to apply to work at the bookstore next to Superior School of Galucca, where she is a student.
She ran into her brother, Louis, he had bought a few books. His wife, Meliss, plans to become a novelist, and obviously will need some inspiration. Chloe doesn't like her sister-in-law that much, but knows it's still early to judge anyone. She has met a guy that her folks might not like, too.
But now you should hurry back home, Chloe, because you are supposed to play the piano for some dinner guests!
Months ago, Andrine invited two of the Councillors for dinner tonight. Mr. Conrad Rivers (blond) with wife Louisa (blue dress), and farmer Jodriam von Salamand with wife Amila. The Rivers has a son Chloe's age, but Conrad is also brother of Countess Constance. The farmers' only son would be too young, but Amila happens to be ex-Countess Maria's niece. Andrine wants help to arrange a meeting between Chloe and Baron Gustav who just became a teenager.
Most locals of a certain class know about Andrine Seylous' charity projects. Accepting a dinner invitation will often involve donations.
They debated the political changes, there are two new councillors - from Gal district and Moon district.
Well, if Amila von Salamand would get in a word on behalf of Chloe...
You might wonder why Louis and Meliss were not joining the dinner, but they were heading for a club in the city, named Blue Energy. There were lots of drinks, and lively guests, although nobody as loud as Meliss. She is insane, artistic and easily impressed, and her laughter can get quite annoying - go figure. After a few drinks she forgets that she is a coward.
You just don't visit Blue Energy without dancing! Ragtime, jazz or swing, it doesn't matter when the energy level is as high as tonight.
Oh, late at night Ludvic Seylouse turned elderly. He has already introduced Louis to the routines at the family's paper factory down at the harbour, and now that the old man is - well, old - it might be time to switch chairs.
Next update... Moonster of Moon district :)
