Thornton & Coombs Dinner Party (Closed)

The table is set with the family's finest china. The candles lit, and doors are open at Thornton Estate this evening. While the estate has seen countless elegant affairs throughout its long history, there's never been one quite like this one. Tonight, the Coombs are coming for dinner as William Thornton's personally invited guests. Despite the recipe for drama, there's still a dinner to be thrown and William has spared no expense for his son's newest girlfriend, Amelie. Fine wine, gourmet breads and cheeses, fruits, and appetizers are laid out in gorgeous displays by the caterer. To be certain that no nosy members of the press learn of tonight's momentary truce, the invitations were hand delivered and the family's private staff are serving.
Promptly, at eight o'clock dinner will be served, but in the meantime, there's plenty of time for mingling...and drama.
OOC: I've always used this particular property for Thornton Estate even though I believe it's more traditionally furnished than the one pictured. However, if you want an idea of the layout, there are plenty of photos and even a movie on the link above, lmao.
William is played by Pierce Brosnan. Obviously he's American in the game. If you wanna talk to William one on one, Rachel and I both have control of that old fart.

"He's always up to something." Daniel says, scowling. "Anything in particular pinging your radar?"

Daniel nodded and bit his lip. If their father was planning something for the Coombs, he and James and the others would be the last to know about it. The money might talk though... "What about Demetri. He's got access to the books. He might know something we don't."

"Demetri?" He hadn't even considered getting Demetri to look into their father's finances, but if he's planning something, the money is the place to start. With a smile, he pats Daniel on the shoulder. "Not bad little brother. Let's get through tonight, and in the morning I'll give Demetri a call. If there's anything to know he'll find it."

Smiling lopsidedly, Daniel chucked his brother on the shoulder. "One of us had to have the brains in the family. But June isn't here so you're stuck with me."
