Day of Restoration: Nightmode's Victorian Fetish Ball

[Janoric]

He grins and kisses her cheek softly before holding her out at arms length to look her up and down. “You look lovely hun in my opinion. If they complain about it not being red, just tell them that it is lightish red, and they didn’t specify a shade.” He says laughing and pulling her back to him with an arm around her as they make their way through the crowds, finding a small table in a corner to put the drinks down on.

[Rain (DELETED 5917)]

The sudden shock of a hand against her *** had the blonde spinning, her fingers curling around the wrist of the slender redhead. When she noted who it was, she relaxed her posture and pulled her in, lips finding hers in a friendly, quick embrace. It was, she figured, the best revenge to the assault on her backside. Besides, she never stopped playing with fire. “Like I ever listen to what I’m told,” she laughed, her storm colored eyes sparkling with that familiar mischief. “You like good enough to eat, sugar. Trying to find yourself a hot date to take back to the crypt and torture?”

[Lorelai]

Lorelai’s blue orbs looked lovingly into his umber ones.

“If that’s what you want,” she said only lowering herself onto the balls of her feet, her arms still wrapped around him. “Though I don’t think anyone is looking at us. We’re not that interesting or unique in here.”

A quick glance around the room validated what she knew to be right. They were surrounded by their own kind and while in some ways that was overwhelming, Lorelai really couldn’t have cared less, not now that she had Levi to help distract her from herself.

[Nerissa Clemming]

Nerissa put down her empty glass on the counter behind her. It seemed all of these people knew each other, in one way or another. Already couples started to kiss, making her want to gag. If I knew this was a couples party I would have stayed home she thought. When a catchy song started playing she decided to dance, her dress swishing around her.

[Serendipity]

She moved to stand in his view and then giggled a bit to his words, nodding her head. "Not very victorian either." She commented and then, after they had found their table her eyes went wide. She handed him her drink and smiled. "Ill be right back." She had just remembered a dress she had bought, long ago. It hung in the back of the closet, tucked away.

She used celerity and hit the door and out she went. It took her a bit as she had to fix her hair and such, and remember which closet it was in. Finally, she returned and stood at the door, more uncomfortable than before and frowned a bit. She adjusted and walked to the table and stood beside him. Do I look stupid? Cause I feel it.

[Levi DAmico]

“Why, you know anyone else who is this good looking, intelligent and fun to be around?” he asked her, a smile still on his lips. He hadn’t noticed that they’d begun to sway idly to the music as they held each other. “And then there’s you with the whole mysterious, spiritual, mothering nature on top of all that awesomeness that I am.” He was laughing, but not necessarily joking...

[Pi dArtois]

Pi hadn't really come with a plan for social interaction. Given her default position was watch and listen she felt comfortable watching, noting the faces she recognised and curious about the ones she didn't (and there were quite a few).

It wasn't that she didn't see the woman wave at her, she just didn't realise she was being waved at. She didn't know why she turned around to look behind her, she had her back to the veritable wall, the room splayed out before her, but she did, turn that is. To check and see if there was another person holding up the wall that the woman could be waving at.

No, it was just her.

And Pi did lift her hand to wave back (and aborted the action halfway)except the blonde decided kissing and snuggling was better. So Pi flashed a smile(cause that seemed neutral and appropriate).

(Ooc: on bus to Uni, on phone, sorry typos and slow replies)

[Lorelai]

Lorelai blushed a much darker shade than usual. She wasn’t used to people complimenting her and she knew that, that was how his words were meant. Her spiritual thing was probably more of a curse but it was a part of her and she had embraced it.

“Oh no,” she said in earnest. “Not unless I’m allowed to include Prudence into the equation but even then I’m not sure my judgement can be trusted. I love her, I do, but I don’t always want to.”

Lorelai looked down, her eyes on his chest. She didn’t want to think about Prudence and her conscience was screaming at her.

Shut up Lorelai! For the love of god, shut up!
I… I didn’t…
I know, but you did.
Should I apologise?
Yes. Definitely. Now. Kiss him and hope he forgets.

Lorelai whispered her apology, the words being barely audible above the music.

[Janoric]

“Now I feel out of place.” He says with a crooked smile as he holds his hand out to Serry. “But you on the other hand look just radiant, different yes, but radiant still. That dress is very flattering on you. Covers up more than usual though.” He says winking at her with a chuckle as he looks around, pulling her back to his chest and putting both arms around her, surveying the crowds and whispers. “I can’t remember last time I’ve been around this many people.”

[Levi DAmico]

That was one way to ruin a perfectly good moment. Levi sighed, trying desperately to hold onto his patience and swallow down that weird heat that was aching up his throat. Lorelai sure had an aptitude for taking one feeling and turning it into another – usually transforming pleasure into frustration. But of course, he couldn’t blame her. That was just the way she was… the way the universe made her. Levi nodded to her apology, just as he always did and even though he realised by now that there was a world around them and he was swaying to some weird music in said world, he didn’t let it bother him. Frankly, he needed the distraction.
