Hazel paused outside the door to the Women's Room and looked back at Quinn and Giselle. She smoothed her skirt, trying hard but kind of failing to not look nervous. "Well. Here goes nothing, ladies." She put a hand on the knob and pulled.

When Hazel opened the door, Gil swiftly took the handle from her when it was fully open. "Good luck, ladies," he told her, his blue eyes skipping over each one of them, holding them longer at Quinn's eyes. After a heartbeat or two, hoping no one had caught on to the look, he carried on. "This is my stop. But I'm sure the Queen will find you all excellent company."
Fel gave Roberta a look of pure relief at hearing her words. If anything, Fel would easily say Roberta was one of the closest friends she'd made during this whole crazy process. "Thank you," she repeated as they descended the steps. "I just - I'm just girl from Likely who wants to study architecture. This was never something I dreamed about." Fel, who was usually a boisterous person, had dropped down to a quiet, almost whisper-like voice. As they reached the floor, she noticed Giselle, Hazel, and Quinn along with the friendly guard that had been present for their little get together. "Oh, it's time, isn't it?" She let out another breath, collecting her thoughts.

Roberta paused on the steps for a moment, turning to look up at Felicity with something like disbelief in her eyes, "You are not just anybody. You are Felicity Jones and you ought to remember that you are far more than just a girl from Likely." Without waiting for any sort of protest or response, she carried on down the stairs until they reached the others and Roberta slid her arm from Fel's grasp as subtly as possible. She bowed slightly to the girls gathered outside the door, then stepped aside to stand beside Quinn. She gave Felicity a smile and a small wink for some final encouragement, though she doubted Fel would need it. The queen wasn't all that intimidating, she was a sweet, energetic woman and Roberta had no doubt that Her Highness would be nothing but kind to the Selected.

Quinn followed Hazel nervously, but made sure to smile and stand up straight, glancing at Gil for reassurance before stepping in, eyes widening at the beauty that was the Ladies' Room. "Wow." She whispered to Hazel, eyes sparkling and suddenly her smile was real.
Giselle stopped just inside and glanced around. If she was impressed by the grandness of the room, she didn't show it, and walked over to where the Queen was sitting and curtsied deeply. "Good afternoon your Majesty." She smiled sweetly, batting her lashes.
Katherine stood as the girls began to come in and looked towards them, a gentle smile on her face. She acknowledged Giselle with a small nod. "Welcome, ladies." She said, motioning towards the room. "I would love to get to know all your names, but forgive me if I cannot remember; I have horrible memory." She gave a soft laugh. "The tea and pastries are excellent, and I hope we shall have a very pleasant afternoon."

Juliette gave a vague quirk of her eyebrow at Gil's expression. What? Did he think something was wrong with her? She wasn't sure. Anyways, being, again, one of only a few female guards in the palace, she followed Giselle into the room, then proceeded to stand nearby the doorway. She wondered if she would be chastised for eating... Chancing it, she slowly reached out, grabbing a croissant, tossing the queen a quick wink. Gosh, how was she not fired yet.

Katherine glanced at Juliette and couldn't help the smirk that flitted across her face before returning to her neutral, simple smile expression as she clasped her hands in front of her and welcomed the girls as they came in.If all she's planning on doing is eating a croissant, we're lucky. The Queen thought good-naturedly.

Fel was taken back on the steps, but she couldn't help herself when she squeezed Roberta's arm tighter. It made her upset that it took this crazy process to bring them together because Fel was realizing she really liked the maid girl. At the same time, she was thankful it took the lottery to bring them together, because if it wasn't for that, the likeliness of Fel ever meeting Roberta was at a steady zero. As they reached the girls, and the guard, Fel offered Roberta a smile at her wink. With that, she followed Hazel and Quinn into the Ladies' Room, letting her jaw drop slightly at the room and being so close to the Queen. It was one thing to be next to Prince Alexander - in the reality of things, he had no power yet. He'd only get it once the king and queen stepped down. Queen Katherine had once been in their footsteps, and knew what they were going through, not to mention being one of the most important women in Illea. Fel shut her mouth and straightened her spine.
Gil gave Quinn an encouraging look as the girl looked to him and once the party went through the doors, he let it close behind him, letting out a breath. That girl was going to be trouble for him - she was Alexander's, and would be as long as she stayed here. Even if Alexander got rid of her, any pull on her he had would probably disappear once she walked out those doors. It would be legal for them to see each other, sure, but why would she want to? After all, he would still be a guard while she went on to have her pickings of anyone she wanted. He let out a breath, looking towards Roberta. "It would be easier if they didn't let us interact with them at all, wouldn't it?" He had no problems voicing his concerns to the maid, as they grew up together, wreaking havoc as children until they started realizing their duties in the palace.

Roberta glanced up at Gil for a moment, then looked over at the heavy wooden door that now separated them from the Selected. She knew exactly what he meant and let out a long sigh. She'd seen the way he'd been with Quinn last night. It was some sort of cruel and unusual punishment that had put them both in this scenario, considering the threat of treason hanging over their heads. It was so tempting to act, but it would also be incredibly foolish. The entire situation was incredibly frustrating. Looking back up at Gil, she cracked a wry smile, "We're screwed, aren't we?"

The Queen smiled at Fel as she entered. "Welcome, dear. Remind me your name?" She motioned for the Selected girl to sit with the rest, in comfy seats around cute marble tables that held tea and a world of pastries.

Gil returned Roberta's wry grin, eyes flitting to the ceiling. He had a feeling Roberta knew which of the women he was talking about; he felt confident in which girl Roberta was referring to. He blamed it on countless years of living together and working together to be easily able to read Roberta's interactions with the girls, and he hoped his interactions with Quinn would only really be noticeable to Juli and Roberta. "Oh, we're beyond screwed," he replied, leaning against the wall, eyes going back to Roberta's face. "It's bad enough that they're here, not to mention that they can be sent home or actually win this thing."
I've said this once before but apparently Felicity Jones is an actress and I had no clue when I made Fel so disclaimer, she's named Fel bc I like that name and Jones bc that's the surname of my friend Jeremy (': When Fel realized that Queen Katherine was speaking to her, she dipped down into a curtsy and bowed her head. As she straightened out, she put a smile on her face and met the Queen's eyes. "Felicity Jones, your highness. Most people just call me Fel, though," she added. "I would ask your name, but it seems like that seems unnecessary." Fel added this light-heartedly, unsure if the joke would be appreciated or not. Her eyes followed where Katherine had mentioned and she nodded her head. "Right, thank you."

(Oh I didn't notice that x3 I like her name too)
Katherine laughed lightly. "Please, enjoy yourself, Fel." She glanced around, a soft smile on her face as more girls trickled in. She was getting forward to get closer to some of these girls; once the majority of them had gone home. The last thing the queen wanted to do was have a favorite, and then have her son send her home.

(Sorry I haven't been on but I am feeling excluded in this and I don't really feel wanted. I can try to stay but if it keeps on like this I might drop this. I'm sorry but I rather not waste time checking back and trying to join in when no one wants to rp.)

(I'm sorry you feel like this Donut! I don't think anyone feels like to exclude you, this RP is just moving slowly right now and I don't think anyone ever has anyone open. If you would like to RP right now I only have Jaden free at the moment. If you want to leave I obviously won't force you to stay, but I hope you find reason enough to stay!)

Tilting her head, she murmured quietly, "And I honestly don't know which would be worse." Her work kept her busy and days off were few and far between. The chance of seeing Fel on the outside if she were sent home was little to none and she could only assume the same would be true for Gil. On the other hand, if she won the Selection, there would be no shortage of opportunities to see her, but she'd be married to the king and that would be a dangerous game to play if she decided to make a move. It truly was a difficult scenario and she couldn't see a positive outcome, no matter who became Queen.
