♫ Best Mistake Party ♫ (Invite only)

[vadablade]

He felt rather weak as he moved and held Klara as he listened, was that truly all it was? Surely some alcohol wasn't the cause of him throwing up a lot. He wondered what had been the issue, he used to drink all the time and then he was changed.

He nodded at Klaras words and kissed her neck softly as he held her close. "Seems he loves me to pay 10 thousand." A smirk spreading over his lips. He looked around again and smiled as he saw Pi, he wished he could ask her if it was just the liquid that made him sick. Could he be rejecting her gift?

[Roderic]

I listen to Skylar and then just stare at her. I don't believe our relationship has anything to do with Pi or with Elliot. So what if he bought me for her? I knew Skylar before the auction. I don't say these things or correct Skylar's perception of things. Instead, I focus on Elliot.

He dislikes me. He probably even hates me. Much like Skylar's parents. I don't care how they feel about me. Either set of 'parents.' An idea came to mind thanks to Christmas with her real parents. "Good point, babe." I borrow Skylar's words and give Pi and Elliot a grin as a hand goes to the offered one from her sire. "Thanks, Elliot." My hand goes to rest on Skylar's midsection as I look the guy in the eyes. "So who are these people?" I point to Klara and Vedablade, my attention returning to Skylar, my hand fixed on her waist now.

[Pi dArtois]

It also happened to be the night Pi almost ripped Skylar’s arm out of its socket and fed it back to her. So many things had happened that night and this, was actually one of the positives. If nothing else happened that night at least she could point to the place in time she chose not to actually kill Elliot’s newest childe but attempt to find a way to make peace.

With a smile took the favour, the smile widening into a grin. “Merci beaucoup.” She replied to the gesture, a bit bemused at the reason for it, but more than happy to roll with the oddity. Given her own taciturn moments in crowds, it was hardly something she would likely judge negatively. Instead she held the favour awkwardly, unsure really what to do with it.

“Nice to meet you Ric. I’ve heard.. about your wedding and I am glad to finally meet you.”

She was about to say she’d heard a lot about the man, but given what her and Elliot had discussed, that was hardly a good conversational opener. This wasn’t about that, it was above forming her own opinion.

“Vada is the newest member of d'Artois and Klara too, mentored by Charles.” She offered by way of introduction and explanation. (as you did in times like this)

[Busty StClaire]

Beverly nodded, turning to give Pyper a quick kiss, just a brushing of lips, "Of course, if you wish, I don't know anyone here." As she turned to follow the blonde telepath, she smiled to Nerissa, "If they have water could you please get one for me when you return?" The hall was filling up, all strangers. It was quickly becoming a crowd, and the allurist was becoming uncomfortable.

[Nerissa Clemming]

"Yeah, sure." Nerissa made her way back over to the bar and ordered the drinks, and when she returned to Pyper and Beverly they had already reached Doc and his friend. She hands Beverly the water and takes a sip of her own drink. She smiled at Doc in greeting, remembering the last time they had met. Her gaze quickly wanders and she watched the people around her, examining their clothing and faces.

[Skylar]

I kinda like the attention Ric’s paying me, so I don’t think twice about the reasoning behind it. I settle against him. Though it does strike me as odd that he calls me babe, since that’s my word and not his. Generally he calls me princess. Though lately he seems to call me by my name or some variant thereof.
“Ricky’s one of a kind.”
I turn to look at him and pat at the cheek furthest away from me. As I do that, I also take the opportunity to turn his face in my direction so that I can place two quick kisses on his lips. Ric’s being affectionate, in his own way, and this is kinda my way of recognising that; though really if I wanted to reward him I’d pull him away to play pool where it would just be the two of us. I weigh that idea up for a moment as I look in his eyes. Smiling I turn my attention back onto Pi and Elliot; Ric’s doing fine, I’m sure he can stick at this a little longer.

[Klara]

Klara looked at vada and smiled, leaning over to kiss his cheek. "Trust me. We can't have anything but blood unless you get the virus or whatever it is that lets us eat but it tastes like crap when you do eat it. You'll be fine soon honey. You should have it all up by now."

Taking his hand she led him over to a couch near the wall and snuggled up next to him and played with his hair. "Just sit here and rest baby," she kissed his neck and laid her head on his shoulder.

"You don't seem to be as nervous as before." She entwined her fingers with his. "It will get easier and I'll always be by your side baby."

[Pyper]

The best sense of security she gained was from wedging herself to be in the middle of her childe and her girlfriend. This wasn't like an Altaire gathering. There had been no prior celebrations to slowly introduce a singular person to a group of familiars. That was what made it daunting. But Pyper was a fish, the teeth of a leaflet. The nerves weren't about being around strangers. It was not the mother of the issue. Scheduling another appointment with Charles was the best course of action to take precedence. Very soon.

"Hello, Charles. You met Beverly and Nerissa." Pyper always referred people to her employer. They didn't see the same things about him that she gained an appetite for. The bodies were moving, migrating away. Diluting to cover more of the space. Shifting tectonic plates. With each face she can pinpoint, Pyper slipped into another bad habit. The twitch at her eyes were like the flicked ends of fussed over whiskers. Reading more than just faces now.

[vadablade]

He rested against her seemingly remembering a talk like this somewhere, had someone told him that before? He really needed to focus more but he was lost to everything really. Too much had happened to him lately. It was odd to feel so off and yet he felt right.

He kissed Klara softly as he cuddled into her. "Okay my beloved princess, I will stop consuming things for now." He wondered if Pi would laugh at him for forgetting and wished she would give him a book with it all written in it so he could reference it later.

[Doc]

“City hall can undo vamperic rituals now?” Doc then waved a hand as if say, ‘forget I asked, I don’t even want to go there’. Aloud he said, “I don’t ******* care if your pantyliner of an ex is on the violation list. Someone will take him out eventually and it probably wont be that hard. But can we -please- have one night where his name ‘doesn’t’ come up?” He was beginning to think Klara was ******* obsessed with her ex, and he just wanted that subject to be dead and gone. No. Just ******* gone. Forever. He raked a hand through his hair.

He was saved from more conversation about the pantyliner, because Lucretia came forward. She had a way of making him smile unlike a lot of others. Not that he wasn’t pleased by the other’s presence, it was more because she had witnessed his darkness and wanted more, rather than shrinking from it like most. “Hello Lucretia.” He nodded to Nerissa and Beverly. “Yes.. I do..” He turned toward Lennox, “This is Lennox, a spawn.” Then saying to Lennox, “****.. it was Nerissa.. not Nelissa. My Bad.”
