Welcome Lords & Ladies
​

Dear fellow readers,
It is a new season and I am so very excited to welcome you to London where my fellow lords and ladies have come from all over. Today marks the new beginning of yet another season in which there is only one conquest. That is finding a life long partner whether love is involved or not. Every eligible lady has been, prepped and groomed all her life for this her whole life. While every eligible man must live up to his name and carry on his household name as is his duty. As with every season I will be following this season's activities very closely. Where there may be love and romance there is just as much scandal and heartbreak. There is little I do not know and will be keeping a close eye on everyone's delights as well as downfalls. Your faithful writer....
-Lady Branston

This is also jump-in so no sign up required. DRAMA with characters is encouraged but not encouraged between roleplayers. Ranks of characters I am allowing for freedom of but remember there can't all be princesses or princes so keep that manageable as well! Lastly, enjoy! Also this is a realistic thread meant to follow that of the Bridgerton timeline.

The Kingsleys​

The Kingsleys are a well off family. They are headed by Lord Kingsley who is a well resepcted man. The lovely lady of the house, their mother, is also very well respected and as far as money they are well suited in life and much is expected of their children as they are looked at very closely.

Lord Mykel Kingsley​

Mykel, being the first born of the Kingsley family, was meant to follow that of his father and carry his household name. His father was away on business matters leaving Mykel man of the house, naturally. During this time of year his home was buzzing with activity. Maids were scrambling and his mother was extremely stressed, Both of his sisters were to present themselves at their first ball, so both of them needed to look...well...exceptional. Mykel sat in the living area trying to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the house. Mykel had attended a few of these balls last season, but remained...single. He was always pressured to find a wife, yet felt no connection. However, there was less pressure on him then on the women. Elora, was second oldest followed by Remmy and Skyla.

However, being a bigger brother and the man of the house Mykel would not except anything less for his sisters. Both in his eyes were already more than exceptional, and deserved only the best. Mykel had gotten to know a lot of the men in their hometown as he grew up with them and had done business with them in the past. And upon his return from school had gotten to know most and frankly he was unsure of a lot of them for his sister. "Mykel, please make sure the carriage is pulled around!" He could hear his mother's calls from one of his sister's rooms. "Yes mother!" Mykel acknowledged and swiftly went outside to make sure all arrangements and the carriages were in proper order and ready to go.

Lady Elora Kingsley​

Elora sat on her sister's bed as she got ready. The maids hustling in and out of the room. Her legs were crossed and her hands were delicately placed out in front of her. "Do not fret sister, you look beautiful," she said as she noticed her sister's grunts as her handmaid braided her hair tightly. Elora was only a year younger than her brother, and a year older than her sister. Her mother and father thought it wise to have Elora wait a season due to her brother being gone and thought it best to be by Skyla's side. Skyla was the most nervous of her season, but she knew she would be here to support her. Elora had been ready before Skyla. She was in a new, elegant looking lavender gown. First impressions were of upmost important and her mother and father had wasted no expense for them to go unnoticed.

Once Skyla was finished and turned around. Elora stood up, "Oh sister you look stunning." She said walking up to her and giving her a reassuring hug. "Come, mother and our brothers are waiting for us.: The two headed down stairs and outside to where their family had awaited their arrival. Nodding her head to each of her brothers as the carriage door opened, both sisters each took their seats.

Lord Remmy Kingsley ​

Remmy had decided to wear the typical black and white suit, with a top hat. He looked to his brother who had found his place among the couch and out of the way. He smiled to himself, realizing how serious his brother had looked all the time. "Lighten up brother, were going to the ball not into war." He joked, but before his brother could respond their mother had called. Remmy looked himself in the mirror and adjusted his tie. He then awaited his sister's presence downstairs. As the two made their way down Remmy smiled. "You both look stunning,: he complimented with a small bow. Before taking Elora's arm and guided the two down to the carriage.

Lady Skyla Kingsley
​

Skyla thumbled with her fingers nervously as she sat patiently at her dresser as her handmaid braided her hair. She let out a soft grunt as the braid tightened. "Sorry my lady," the handmaid immediately responded. Skyla looked up and smiled, "Oh no. It looks great." She stared at herself in the mirror and let out a small sigh. Her sister had commented to reassure her yet she could feel her nerves building up the closer it got to leave. Skyla ad Elora had prepared their whole lives for nothing else but this moment. She did not want to disappoint as she new plenty of other families had the same expectations of their daughters. She smiled and got up and turned around towards her sister. "Well?" she asked her sister.

She wore a light pink dress with small embroidery. Elora had hugged and complimented her and Skyla melted in her sister's arms a little. There would be fewer moments for them like this if everything were to go to plan. Both sisters would be leaving their house this season, everything they had ever known.....Skyla yet had to learn that it would be okay and she knew her family would welcome her with open arms anytime she wanted to visit.
