What’s that amazing smell, you ask? It’s likely coming from the large buffet table where a spread of mouthwatering hors d'oeuvres is just begging to be consumed. Grab a plate and a napkin and dig in, your choices ranging from cheese and crackers to roasted fairy eggs. From the magical to the mundane, this tasty display is sure to satisfy your taste buds.

Once your plate is full, find a seat on one of the many sofas and low chairs situated in small clusters around the room. You’ll certainly be relaxing in comfort and style while enjoying your food. Small coffee tables situated here and there amongst the seats offer a place for you to rest your drink and plate while you get lost in conversation with those around you. Or perhaps you’ll find yourself lost in the soft jazz music playing overhead. In any case, you’ll find that this lounge style setup encourages you to take it easy.

And be sure to keep your eyes on the small podium situated just to the side of the buffet while you're enjoying the atmosphere. A lectern has been placed there and the candidates may use this area to step up and address the crowd. Surely you're curious to see what they have to say.

OOC: Candidates, please title the top of your post as "Podium Post" if you're going to make use of the lectern! This will make it easier for people to keep track of the candidates and their introductions! Thanks and enjoy!
