Gems of Dupont - Rewrite

Since it's been bothering me these past few days, this is a list of how I would rewrite a fic I wrote last year, called The Gems of Dupont on Ao3 if I were to do so.

Spoiler Warning if you want to read the fic then read this

Premise: There is a group of students who while anonymous, are known to have a lot of power. Namely, they have a history of getting rid of unsavory figures in the school or associated with it. Their current targets are Marinette (stalking, minor abuse of power, and her actions towards her 'rivals'), Adrien (bystander, actions as Chat Noir towards Ladybug, etc.), Lila (obvious), Alya (misinformation, slander, and something else), Mme. Bustier (bystander, emotional manipulation, poor teaching methods), Mr. Damocles (fraud, neglect, etc.), and Fu (facing the consequences of his own actions)

Problems: A scene that I did not flesh out enough to show the reasoning behind it, too many characters involved in the takedown, illogical plot points, involving characters that make no sense, and moving too fast due to me losing interest but not wanting to go on hiatus or abandoning the work.

The Rewrite:

Establishing the Gems -

The sign of the Gems (a wreath of gems on Mme. Mendelieve's door) is shown, causing rumors to spread through the school

Adrien, Alya, and Lila ask what they are, giving them the full explanation

The Gems are a group of six that every year go through and gather evidence of people's wrongdoings, before giving them to those that would cause the most change. This most of the time results in someone leaving the school. When they are done, gems are left where the person sits. Each gem represents something, and while there are six Gems, there are more gems.

Chloe scoffs out loud while Lila internally scoffs. Chloe thinks she is immune, as she has never been hit before. Lila scoffs because she thinks she hasn't been caught, to begin with.

Cut to a group chat, where two people are arguing over the nicknames they have in the chat. "Eye candy" seems particularly frustrated and claims they bring something more to the team than their good looks.

Safety Measures -

We see a week pass, with people becoming more and more anxious waiting for something to happen. Some sign that this wasn't a fluke. The first week is always when it is that they send out the warnings, where are the warnings?

But one day, as Nino walks in, having not arrived with Alya due to her running off to record an akuma fight, he finds a note sitting on his desk. The note contains a list of numbers and timestamps. A small doodle of a gem sitting in the corner.

On another day, Rose finds a small slip of paper that has Prince Ali's phone number on it, also with a small doodle of a gem in the corner

Luka opens a note left on his bed. He finds the chords for a song, with no lyrics. Each page has small annotations of cherry blossoms in places where lyrics would be, and a doodle of a gem in the bottom corner.

Kagami is surprised when a note falls out of her locker, with a message in brail saying "He hesitates, where is his backbone?". A gem is engraved on the page

The first -

Alya is the first to go down. After a fight between her and Nino that results in their break up, she learns that her parents got a similar note to the one that started the fight.

The numbers and timestamps were coded for different videos on the Ladyblog. The one for Nino was instances where Alya endangered him and those around him. The fight was about her recklessness, and her want to get up close to akuma fights with little regard for her safety.

The one her parents got, however, was every single time she had endangered herself.

The two of them were busy with work often, so they only really watched the videos Alya sent them. Often those were the ones where she stayed safe for the most part or had a lot of views.

So they opened her blog, to investigate what these timestamps were, only to find their daughter once again throwing herself into situations she shouldn't have. Along with countless posts trying to figure out the identities of people who were trying to protect the city and a single post that had them questioning her integrity.

The next day, Alya was pulled into distanced learning. She was also grounded until further notice, with no blog posting for one day per timestamp listed.

Will continue this post tomorrow, as this is getting really long

A Masterlist for all of my Miraculous au's:

Unworldly Compulsion and Consumption- (My main au)

Fanfic Link:

Chloe Bourgeois has it all. She's a hero alongside her idol Ladybug, she's becoming a better person and the class is friendlier with her. And most important of all to her, her parents are actually trying to be better parents; taking interest in what she actually wants to do with her life.

Then all of a sudden her entire life crumbles arounds her after a horrific accident at the hands of a beast leaves her as an undead vampiric creature with the power of compulsion. Chloe retreats to a castle of a tyrant long gone to live in, and desperately cling to what true signs of life she has left. However as time goes on, an hunger begins to take over Chloe, resulting in her mental health and immense power spiralling out of control.

Vowing to help Chloe with her situation and maintain her sanity, are her brothers Felix and Adrien. Her girlfriend Kagami. and her friends Pollen, Bunnyx, Sabrina, Luka, Alix, and Lila. By getting her out to galas, plays and operas. With Bunnyx taking her to multiple points in history to help her still indludge in her passion for history. Even if it results in the occasional problem, like accidentally leaving her in the reign of the tyrrancial Darkblade.

All the while, Hawkmoth, secret societies, cults, corrupt politicians and other villains alike are desperate to get their hands on the power of compulsion via any means they deem necessary. Even if results in putting people Chloe cares about in danger.

Has multiple references to the War of the Roses/Tudors, fashion I like and different bits of media.

I also refer to this au as the vampiric Chloe au, so if you’re confused when looking through my work, it’s just this au.

An All Consuming Cruelty-

Fanfic Link:

A companion fanfiction to Unworldly Compulsion and Consumption, due to the vampiric Chloe’s. Though they are under different circumstances.

Chloe finds the miraculous of a kwamii long forgotten by time. However it is not one that can be called kind. Instead it is the kwamii of consumption and cruelty. The gem it was tethered to was cut into multiple gems and placed into different pieces of jewellery, as a protective measure. However at some point a careless decision was made resulting in all pieces of jewellery being put together in the same box.

Upon finally being freed, it takes the chance to gain the power he once held, by possessing Chloe. Once it has done so, it takes the chance to consume all in its path. Even if it means consuming the flesh of akumas, sentimonsters and humans.

After being alerted by Audrey’s change from being horrible and loud, to terrified and quiet. It is up to Ladybug, Chat Noir and Hawkmoth to stop the kwamii. Though with the clock ticking and time against them, will they be able to do it and save Chloe?

Chloe's tales of Fencing, Jousting and Ballet-

Fanfic Link:

A crossover with Barbie 12 Dancing Princesses and Barbie Princess and the Pauper. In Pollen's efforts to give Chloe a proper life, she and Bunnyx sends her to those two Barbie movies. She becomes a very talented fencer, jouster and ballet dancer.

Has multiple references to Wars of the Roses and the Tudors.

Hellfire and Ash-

Fanfic Link:

After almost killing Audrey and Andre, Gabriel burns down their house to destroy any evidence. Nooroo takes baby Chloe to the kwamii realm where she is raised by them with miniscule human interactions. At the age of 12, she's finally allowed to go to Francois Dupont, where she meets her first human friends. From there she makes friends and tries to find her parents.

Was somehow inspired by Columbo.

Medieval Princess Chloe-

Fanfic link:

in the late 1400s/early 1500s, Princess Chloe Annabelle Bourgeois of France, must unite her friends to seek out and gain power from the fabled kwamii. After the villainous Hawkmoth usurps the throne from her parents, and driving her into exile.

Contains very obvious inspiration/references to the War of the Roses/Tudors.

The old antique store-

Fanfic Link:

Eleven years prior to her thirteenth birthday, a believed to be accident, results in two year old Chloe Bourgeois disappearing under mysterious circumstances. Leaving no evidence whatsoever and her parents unable to remember what happened.

Then those eleven years later, a small antique shop opens. Said shop is owned by the mysterious Richard Sphinx, accompanied by his ward. Said ward is a girl of thirteen, her eyes an icy blue and her hair a golden blonde. Upon stumbling into the shop, one autumn evening, Adrien recognises said girl. From there he is determined to find out the truth of what happened all those years ago.

After all, some secrets aren’t so secret. And some people are know much more then they’re willing to admit.

Heavily inspired by Stephen King’s, Needful Things and Salem’s Lot.

The tale of a magical girl, mage-

Fanfic Link:

After the events of Heroes day, Chloe is informed by Ladybug and Chat Noir that she will no longer be allowed to wield the bee miraculous.

However upon opening an ancient tome, she comes into contact with the being only known as Null. To which he tells her there’s more magic than just miraculous and Kwamii. And well Chloe wants to know it all; become the person she wants to be and escape from her mother’s shadow.

So with Null’s guidance, Chloe sets forth to learn magic unknown and become a mage. Although it’s not easy, as the magic she now yearns for is not only a lot different from the miraculous, but dangerous as well.

Features a magic system heavily inspired by Skyrim. With elements of Bloodborne, Dark Souls, magical girl shows and Youjo Senki.

Greetings Traveller, You Must be Weary-

Fanfic Link:

After being in the wrong place at the wrong time, young Chloe Bourgeois is abandoned in the world of Dark Souls by Gabriel Agreste.

Years later, Gabriel barely escapes to Dark Souls, after a fight with the heroes. Now the heroes must wander through the land to find him. Taking Chloe, now named Seraphina, with them for any help they can get. All the while Chat Noir struggles to tell Chloe who she really is.

A Young Hunter-

Fanfic Link:

Gabriel Agreste conducts experiment to see if there’s something that could give him more power than a miraculous to achieve his goals.

His experiment, you ask?

Why, he abandons baby Chloe in the world of Yharnam, to see if she can survive or not. It’s not like her parents will miss their own baby, right? Either way, he watches from the shadows every year or so, to see that his experiment is continuing to be successful.

At least it was going successfully, until Ladybug and Chat Noir get there. Then all hell breaks loose.

I’m not the Dragonborn, and well…I’m okay with that-

Fanfic Link:

Chloe Bourgeois, daughter of the mayor, wielder of the bee miraculous……companion to the Dragonborn?

Through a complete accident, Chloe ends up in Skyrim. A while after the attack on Helgen, in which Chloe is injured, she ends up as the companion to the Dragonborn. Through this experience she learns that not all power is good, but can’t seem to escape such problems caused by power.

Little Red Riding Chloe-

Fanfic Link:

Little Chloe Riding Hood, sets to town to go and collect some things for her mother. However while making the journey there and back, a wolf plans to eat her.

Serial Experiments Chloe-

Fanfic Link:

No longer content to sit on the sidelines watching humanity fight with the miraculous, the kwamii decide to conduct an experiment to see the effects of pure magic on a human. Said human being Chloe Bourgeois.

10 years later, via Duusu’s help, Chloe is able to return to her timeline and explore Earth. Making friends along the way

The Girl in the House-

Fanfic Link:

Instead of Gabriel Agreste being Hawkmoth, it is Audrey Bourgeois wielding both the butterfly and peacock miraculous. Her goal is to get the Ladybug and Cat miraculous in order to relieve her husband of his illness and prevent future members of her family from suffering from it.

Chloe Bourgeois slowly retreats from her bitchy queen bee persona, as her father becomes more ill and her mother becomes more consumed by her work. Leading her to baking and gardening to work through her emotions. This intrigues Kagami Tsuguri, who is determined to learn the reason as to why she's changed.

Such Fickle Things (A miraculous rewrite)-

Fanfic Link:

Gabriel Agreste, using the butterfly miraculous, takes on the persona of Dague Noire, a mysterious unseen criminal to get the ladybug and cat miraculous.

After numerous unsuccesful attempts, Chloe Bourgeois reveals her identity enabling him to get ahold of the bee miraculous. Now with a new plan, he blackmails Chloe into working with him, while holding her parents lives over her head.

With the help of her close friends, Adrien, Sabrina and a new family member in Pollen, Chloe is able to double cross Dague Noire and help the heroes in the hopes of stopping him.

The Facts in the Case of M. Bourgeois-

Fanfic Link:

A written version of the final segment from Tales of Terror (1962) but with Miraculous characters.

Oh please! It should be fine!-

Fanfic Link:

After Miracle Queen, Chloe’s parents decide to abandon her at a public school in the North East of England. The only people who still care for her being Pollen, Felix and Adrien.

Pollen is having none of it however, deciding that Chloe will be the Bee miraculous holder regardless of what anyone else thinks. To help Chloe become the bee miraculous holder, Pollen gets Tikki, Plagg, Nooroo and Duusu together to create sentimonster versions of Chloe’s parents.

Now Chloe has moved back to Paris with her new parents and Pollen. And upon seeing her again, Adrien is determined to become Chloe’s friend once again.

Phantom Chloe-

Fanfic Link:

In an effort to see the effects of a broken miraculous mixed with a working miraculous and an akuma, Gabriel blackmails Chloe into working with him during Miracle Queen. To which it blows up in her face, figureatively and literally. Having injured Chloe and leaving her with a even more broken version of the peacock miraculous's power, she runs away with Pollen. Felix finds Chloe and they strike a deal in which Felix will inform of her of events happening in Paris and she provides him with power to find out Hawkmoth's identity.

Behold a Pale Horse! And its riders name was Death!- (A fic requested by one of my ao3 readers)

Fanfic Link:

Taking place just after season two, Chloe Bourgeois accidentally comes across a full box of miraculous. Said kwamii of the miraculous are not happy with a child getting the box, and regretfully inform her that she is to be the new herald of their powers and usher in a new era. Chloe then fumbles through her life and her newfound responsibitlies, with most of the class and the miraculous heroes helping her to keep together her growing web of lies.

This includes her and most of her class collectively trying to raise her new baby brother. Keeping up with her grades, being a hero. with her and Felix stupidly taking over her father's job as mayor. all while collecting a few more miraculous along the way

Inspired by the ideas of the four horsemen of the apocalypse and the 10 aspects of death from Bleech. (I have never seen Bleech) As well as inspiration from Youjo Senki, also called The Saga of Tanya the Evil.

Orchids and Memories-

Fanfic Link:

After Miracle Queen, Chloe becomes the next in a long line of heirs to a set of toxic evil kwamii who are constantly trying to make her a tyrant to take over France. When Pollen returns to her and adopts her, Chloe runs away as to not deal with her crumbling life.

Eight years later, at 22 years old after immense bad luck Chloe is dragged back to Paris under the vigilante persona of Orchidae. From here she attempts to come to terms with some of the things that have happened to her. All while trying to resist the desire to become the very tyrant the kwamii's want of her.

A Tale of Despair and Buttons-

Fanfic Link:

After running away, Chloe and Adrien encounter the Other Mother.

Surviving in the Wastelands-

Fanfic Link:

After Hawkmoth comes to a realisation that Chloe may overpower him during Miracle Queen, he dumps her into a timeline in which no miraculous exist. Said Timeline is the game Fallout 3 and then Fallout New Vegas. Chloe must learn to survive while people in Paris are incredibly confused as to how she suddenly disappeared.

(This au, is on hiatus for the forseeable future)

[artzychic27]

So, with the new special coming up with Shadybug and Claw Noir, I’ve gotta ask, what are Scarlet Beetle, Ikati Black, Monarch, and Prince Paon’s alternate selves like?

Blood Beetle

Cold, calculated, greedy, and just a little bit flirty with his “Kitten.”

He works out so he’s stronger than his opponents and can easily snap them like twigs

This guy does NOT care about the lives of innocents, as long as he’s got the cash and jewels he stole, then he’s fine

Will not hesitate to put people in danger if it means getting his way, and makes people BEG him on their knees to use his Miracle Cure…

… Only to not use it

And quick thing to remember: Unless you have a death wish, never try to flirt with Ikati Bleak

When he’s not Blood Beetle, Kim is tormenting people at DuPont Dormitory For Wayward Teens for cash and breaking every PDA rule with Max

He was sent to DuPont for attacking just about anyone who looked at him funny

“Kitten~ Steal that gem for me, would you, baby?”

“Ugh! It’s not my fault this light weight can’t take a punch!”

“Come on… Beg me, and maybe I’ll fix your shit city.”

Ikati Bleak

Ikati Bleak is extremely smart and knows how to get in your head. Never trust him

He’s the brains behind every robbery committed by himself and his “Blood Bug.”

He can easily hack into the government and cause all sorts of mass destruction with the push of a button if civilians step out of line

Like Blood Beetle, he doesn’t care about the lives of other people, seeing them as only stepping stones in their path towards total domination

Whatever Blood Beetle desires, he is more than happy to do whatever it takes to make him happy

Enjoys using his cataclysm on famous landmarks and important artifacts

As Max, he’s deceitful, gets a thrill out of using his intellect against others, and uses his tech skills to torment the student body

Max was sent to DuPont for hacking into the grade books and ruining everyone’s GPAs just for the hell of it

“Whatever my Blood Bug wants, he gets.”

“Ruining lives is just no fun when they don’t cry.”

“One little button. That’s all it takes to see your city turn to dust.”

Emperor

One word… Insane

Emperor has no goal other than to cause mass chaos and make all who stand before him kneel at his feet

He turns people into Akumas against their will and uses psychological and/or emotional torture to make them comply

He forces them to steal, cause property damage, and attack a few people he doesn’t like

He only has a soft spot for Prince Pain and will drop everything to just kiss his hand

As Nathaniel, he’s just as unhinged as Emperor. People would say he has a Napoleon Complex, but the last person to say that mysteriously fell down the stairs

Note: Nathaniel hates it when people even imply that he’s inferior

Those at his last school were relieved when the School Tyrant finally left

“Princey, allow me torment this undesirable for you, darling.”

“Aw~ Why so serious? And here I thought we were having so much fun.”

“Oh, I have ways of making you comply, dear.”

Prince Pain

He’s every bit of crazy as Emperor, but braver. He’s jumped off the top of the Eiffel Tower and landed on the back of a winged Senticreature

This guy only has a soft spot for Emperor and his babies

He can’t bear to part with them, so he lets them run around Paris, destroying everything in sight on a weekly basis

He’d never send an Amok after a civilian, becuase then they can turn his Senticreature against him!

He’s got the personality of Evil!Spinel with a bit of Harley Quinn mixed in there, always clapping and laughing when someone gets hurt

He will follow Emperor to the ends of the earth for no reason other than to cause chaos with him

Marc was sent to DuPont because there was no mental facility that would take him

“Hear that, babies? Other daddy is proud of you, my little weapons of mass destruction!”

“Voices in my head say I’m perfectly normal like any other person.”

“I don’t like the words your saying… Do you need your tongue removed?”

The DuPont Show of the Week: "Diamond Fever"

March 24, 1963. Special guest star: Peter Lorre.

So far, I can't find this TV episode out there! We have the plot at least...

Story text: A newly-unearthed, 4l5-carat uncut diamond has a tantalizing effect on five human lives. To a fashionable jeweler, Arthur Harwick (Sidney Blackmer), in whose possession it falls, the gem is a dangerous challenge.

Will the embittered diamond cutter, Herbert Vanderling (Theodore Bikel), turn the stone into an article of priceless beauty or shatter it into 1,000 worthless fragments?

To Vanderling's deep-in-debt brother, Joe (Martin Brooks), the diamond represents a once-in-a lifetime chance to wipe the slate clean.

A Texas billionaire’s wife, Mrs. Newton Weber (Jeri Archer), will stop at nothing in her obsession to possess the gem.

To Archie Lefferts (Peter Lorre), perhaps the world's most accomplished jewel thief, the diamond is the supreme challenge of an infamous career.

--If that's not Polo, I'll eat Peter Lorre's squashable hat.

DuPont School for Monstrous Youths- Rochelle Weems

There’s no place like gnome! Here’s our last Recess kid! @artzychic27 @imsparky2002

Species: Gnome

Appearance/Attire: Very short, stocky build, short and curly red hair, narrow green eyes, pointed ears, pale skin, rosy cheeks, slightly hunched back. Red fedora with very tall center and gold band, glittery green t-shirt, blue denim jacket studded with multicolored gems, fingerless red leather gloves, black skinny jeans with torn knees, red work boots with green vines.

Bio: If you need to know something that’s going on around the school, there’s one monster you go to, and that’s Rochelle. This little gnome somehow has every piece of information that floats around the halls, though ze are very tight-lipped unless the situation calls for otherwise. Ze serve as Alya’s chief source and collaborator on the Paranormal Buzz, the school news blog, and serves as an endless blackmail vault on some of the less upstanding staff and students. Ze can be a bit insecure about their kyphosis and short stature, but zir friends are always quick to reassure ze. Ze also have a bit of a prankster streak, mostly hiding other people’s belongings.

Quotes:

“There isn’t much that happens in this school that I don’t know.”

“HEY! No touching the hat!”

“I may be short, but I’m still tall enough to bust your kneecaps!”

“I have dirt on everyone. Including you, Lila.”

“I’m not much for gardening, to be honest.”

“Now this I have to hear!”

You won’t find zir lounging around a garden! Leave your thoughts in the comments and reblogs!

OC Name Meaning Tag

Was tagged for this one by @mariahwritesstuff and @queenslayerbee, so thank you!

Also tagging: @linaket, @k--havok, @alistonjdrake, @magic-is-something-we-create, and @ashen-crest. Have fun!

Rules: Put down an OC or more and tell what their name means.

I'm doing this game for ASMLP, where the names chosen had little to do with their meaning and moreso with the vibes of it all. That said, I did make a couple of intentional choices. The country this is set in also has a lot of French inspo (among others) and so that's the base I chose when going through names to try and fit my cast. I tend to go off of the vibes and "mouth feel" of it all. That said, let's look at all the major players and what their names mean!

Warning, this post is kinda long.

Simone Allard

French feminine form of Simon, which according to BehindtheName, is

From Σίμων (Simon), the New Testament Greek form of the Hebrew name שִׁמְעוֹן (Shim'on) meaning "hearing, listening", derived from שָׁמַע (shama') meaning "to hear, to listen".

Going back to Simone, "A famous bearer was Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986), a French feminist and philosopher." and I think that's cool.

Their last name, Allard, is derived from the given name Adalhard and is

Derived from the Old German elements adal "noble" and hart "hard, firm, brave, hardy".

The last name was chosen intentionally, as Simone attempts to embody these traits (and ultimately fails).

Nadia Dupont

Nadia is a variant of Nadya, which itself is a Russian/Bulgarian diminutive of Nadezhda, which means "Hope". I didn't know this when I chose her name--I chose it off of Vibes TBH--but now that I do know this, it makes her name all the more ironic, I think.

Her last name, DuPont, means "from the bridge". That wasn't a choice intentionally done, either, I just thought the first and last name sounded nice together.

Etienne LaChance

Etienne, which is sans the little accent on the first E, is the French form of Stephen, which itself is

From the Greek name Στέφανος (Stephanos) meaning "crown, wreath", more precisely "that which surrounds".

Which,,, somewhat fits, given his kinda prissy nature and thinking he's better than everyone (he's right. somewhat).

As for his last name, LaChance, that just means "chance, luck" which was partly chosen off of Vibes and partly chosen off of irony, as he's got the best outcome by the end of all three of the MCs.

Chantal Bellarose

According to BehindtheName, Chantal means

From a French surname that was derived from a place name meaning "stony". It was originally given in honour of Saint Jeanne-Françoise de Chantal, the founder of the Visitation Order in the 17th century. It has become associated with French chant "song".

Which is cool! But I mostly chose it off of Vibes and because I like the name. As for her last name, I know for a fact I saw it on the surname section of BTN but now it's trying to gaslight me. Anyway, I just think it's pretty.

Professor Darzi

Darzi as a surname is a Persian word which means "tailor" (allegedly). I chose it partly because it looks nice and partly because Professor Darzi is such a tailored and well put together man.

Doctor Aiza

Aiza as a last name comes from "Aizt", Basque for "rock or stone" (allegedly). According to BTN, as a first name it's possibly Urdu in origin, but gives me no meaning beyond that. However, when I look it up, I'm told it can mean "replacement or substitute"... Either way, I mostly chose it for Vibes but it,,, oddly fits, in a way.

Professor Favreau

Favreau is a diminutive of Favre, which is itself a variant of Fèvre, which is

Occupational name meaning "blacksmith" in Old French, derived from Latin faber.

This was somewhat intentional, given the Professor's personality and appearance. As Nadia says,

She’s a monochrome woman: grey coat, black scarf, white hair. The brightest things about her are the chunky rings she wears, a rainbow of gems gleaming in the watery sunlight coming through the window behind her.

Alienor

Found this one on a French list somewhere. This is a variant of Aliénor, which is the French form of Eleanor, which gets this entry on BTN:

From the Old French form of the Occitan name Alienòr. Among the name's earliest bearers was the influential Eleanor of Aquitaine (12th century), who was the queen of Louis VII, the king of France, and later Henry II, the king of England. She was named Aenor after her mother, and was called by the Occitan phrase alia Aenor "the other Aenor" in order to distinguish her from her mother. However, there appear to be examples of bearers prior to Eleanor of Aquitaine. It is not clear whether they were in fact Aenors who were retroactively recorded as having the name Eleanor, or whether there is an alternative explanation for the name's origin.

What could be a more Washingtonian venue for an event than the home of a former President?!  The Woodrow Wilson House is located just 5 blocks from Dupont Circle in the Embassy Row area of the city.  The Georgian revival home is meticulously maintained and guests can mingle in the beautifully furnished reception rooms appointed with historic family and state treasures.  The outside garden area is a gem and combined with the museum, the venue can accommodate a standing reception of 200 or seated dinner of 120.
