If Bess were to show up in your og timeline, the Scrooges would probably first meet her at Lottie's coming out ball, as they would most definitely be invited.
Okay, YES, I want to talk about Bess being introduced into my historic timeline. I’ve been mulling over ideas, because honestly, I just can’t bear the thought of these two ladies not being soul sisters in any universe.
A coming out ball would be the perfect occasion, especially Lottie’s. It’s a high-society event, and the guest list is prestigious. Scrooge is connected, after all. They receive the invitation, and there is a bit of discussion about why it landed in their laps. “I’ve heard she’s got … a personality, that one.” (I can see Magda rolling her eyes. “I know what that’s jargon for.”)
Now, let me ask … how do you see Bess being involved in the event? I feel like Connie bumps into her by chance, perhaps noticing her on the outskirts of things. Or perhaps Connie even nearly trips in the ballroom, and Bess is the only one kind enough to lean in and actually help (thereby breaking the stuffy ‘traditionalist’ decorum.) Then, Connie hears that American accent, and her face lights up. “Oh, a-are you from the States as well?”
Connie has slowly been learning the London social scene, character by character. She’s familiar with the prestige and infamy of the Dowager Countess of Calloway herself, and the Shaw are certainly discussed. Perhaps she’s crazy, but some even whispered that Marley himself had connections, or … relations. But those were just rumors … right? She had never had a reason to ask her husband if he … knew anything. Perhaps she should.
Lottie is SUPPOSED to be the main event (and poor Scrooge may get stolen by her) but Connie can’t help but be intrigued by this other Yankee in London.
“Oh! (Peers over Bess’ shoulder) It would appear the lady of the hour is flirting with my husband. Oh my. (Laughs). Thankfully, he can hold his own. … Do you enjoy parties? I like them, but when it’s your job to like parties for so long, they lose their luster. Don’t you think?”
And Connie is a chatterbox. If Bess was looking for a place to be alone, I’m afraid that isn’t happening. Unless she shooed her off, of course. Then she’s willingly give the woman space, bow, and follow directions. She’d give her the utmost respect without any ill word or argument. However, if she was in the headspace to welcome conversations at the time … woof. Get ready, Bess.
“I must say, I love your dress. That blue really makes your eyes pop, and your lips too! And your hair is so pretty. I could never get mine that perfectly curled, even if I brushed it and curled it endlessly with my wand. It can be a bit of a nest sometimes, haha. That’s why I wear it down. Ah, sorry. I’m … probably coming on a tad too strong. Am I talking too much? My apologies.”
If Bess’ siblings are in attendance, she’d most definitely love to meet them.
I’m picturing Eb and Bess perhaps sharing a dance too later in the night, which would be very interesting depending who knows what about what. Regardless of any of that, he say her and his wife talking, and wants to get to know her as a result. She must be quite the fine character.
Of course, there are lots of details to discuss, but I love this setting idea as a first meeting!
Then there is getting Wolf into the scene as well. I imagine it’s a similar Ezekiel-style situation, unless that conflicts with the timeline of events and reasons of Bess and Wolf to first meet through Marley? Tbh, I’m okay with ret-conning things in my universe to make it work too, because Bess and Wolf need to keep their pining story beats. They’re too freaking good.

HIH Princess Minerva has a Day Full of Engagements
HIH Princess Minerva was seen at the University of Siene with University President Calloway on a tour of the University, where Her Imperial Highness graduated with her undergraduate degree in Anthropology. President Calloway, also an alum of the University of Siene, pointed out some of the recent renovations to enhance student learning while Princess Minerva pointed out some other things that could also help student engagement.
Her Imperial Highness and President Calloway posed in front of the Golden Book. HIH wore a white slightly cropped turtleneck and black jeans from retalier S&M, a black blazer from Popshop along with a pair of her trusted Succi nude heels and a black beret also from S&M. Within the hour of the images being released, the pieces sold out and caused the store sites to crash.
After her visit to the University of Siene, HIH Princess Minerva went to a Pups for Life Event in nearby Brichester with her faithful pup Marley. Her Imperial Highness ditched the beret and waved to the assembled press before interacting with fellow dog owners and potential adopters. Many Royal watchers comment on the striking similarity of the above photo with one taken from obviously much happier times
Her Imperial Highness pictured in happier times with HRH Crown Prince Nicholas's dog Paradise( 📷: @simsroyallegacy)
Many Imperial Fashion Fascinators are noticing the stunning difference in colors used by Her Imperial Highness, noting the lack of light blue, a color we had been seeing worked into Her Imperial Highness's outfits plenty before the infamous conversation with HRH Crown Prince Nicholas. Attendees at the Pups for Life event noticed that the Princess would at times become wistful and pensive as she watched her pup, Marley, play around which has caused some to think she is remembering happier times in Lunaria.
Not one to be slowed down, HIH went from Brichester were she spent a lot of her graduate school time, to the Imperial Palais de Roufort to host the Emperor's Scholars, a competitive scholarship program that pays for half of their Graduate Studies for those who have goals of bettering the Empire in all fields, on behalf of His Imperial Majesty Emperor David.
HIH milling around with Emperor's Scholars discussing their post university plans.
Her Imperial Highness, a relatively recent grad, was seen engaging the Scholars in intense discussions and even pairing up scholars whose goals work well together.
Her Imperial Highness wore a stunning hand painted black and white dress by designer Sior for the event, leading more and more fashion watchers to latch onto the lack of color in HIH's outfits. While some conservative watchers have shook their heads at the Princess not wearing Pierreland blue, more people have been supportive of the stylish black and white ensembles the Princess has been rocking.
And rounding out the looks for Princess Minerva's busy day, is a very dramatic dress by Pierreland Designer Alexander François. The black dress has a scandalous cut in the center of the dress and is held together with a halter neck, stunning all at the event. While images of HIH meeting operatic soprano Maria Alexandra and tenor Pierre Calastrano were not captured, an image of HIH clearly enjoying the performance from the Imperial box was captured.
And with a night at the opera, HIH's whirlwind day in Pierreland seems to be over, Her Imperial Highness will be leaving at first light tomorrow to head over to the Kingdom of Charleston, where her younger cousin Michael, Count of Dijon is currently serving as Ambassador.
