"That Party"

"That Party" is a comic song written by Fitzroy Angursell.

"That Party’ was one of the banned-but-not-quite-censored songs. It skewered the entire imperial family and most of the court, and so was not acceptable, but it was also very funny and otherwise not particularly satirical..". It tells the story of how The Red Company infiltrated The Palace of Stars on the night of Melissa Damara's betrothal ball to Shallyr Silvertongue From this party, they are said to have stolen six bottles of Faery wine, a sturgeon, the Diamond of Gaesion (specifically attributed to Fitzroy Angursell), and one lady's maidenhead (specifically attributed to Faleron the Blue). After this, they went on to hunt the White Stag, an adventure that led them to visit the Moon's country (as described in Kissing the Moon).

Fitzroy Angursell sings this song upon request of Captain Audmon after he is rescued from the Solamen Fens. As he begins the story around suppertime and finishes just after midnight, we can assume it is either a lengthy song, that he was interrupted or distracted, or that he included additional tangents not in the usual text of the song.
