Day of Restoration: Nightmode's Victorian Fetish Ball

[Nerissa Clemming]

Nerissa felt Pyper reach for her hand and she took it. It may seem odd to those around her, but she could sense Pyper's discomfort, even if only a little bit.
What did she like best? That was a hard question to answer if the person asking didn't know the whole story. Which he didn't. She thought about it before answering. "I think one of the things I like the most is the strength. I had such a weak body before I turned, and now I don't have to worry as much."

[Ariadne]

Wrapping her coat closely around her, Ari slowly made her way over to Doc and his ladies. The club was more crowded than she had expected and it was starting to make her anxious. Stepping out had been a bad idea. She knew it was a bad idea and she did it anyway. Her only consolation was that she wouldn't be here all night as she had promised herself that she would head over to the arena shortly. Half hour, tops.

She nodded to Doc as she finally stood next to him. "I find the theme of this party quite odd. I have no idea what I'm doing."

[Doc]

Nerissa’s statement about strength seemed logical. He had witnessed females being bullied, so yes, he could understand that point of view. “Yes.” He nodded in understanding. Doc was about to expound when Ari joined them. He offered Ari his arm. “Ariadne.. you look lovely as ever.” He leered openly at her. “Allow me to introduce you, Ari this is Lucretia and Nerissa.” He looked at the two, “Ladies, this is Ariadne.. a friend and temptress.”

“You look warm Ari.. allow me to take your coat…”

[Mordechai]

Mordechai slipped to the far side of zodiac, so as not to 'interrupt' her, and to be able to keep an eye on the little blonde in the beautiful black and red gown. Once more he reached out to his kennedy, wondering where she was. He was surprised as well that Prudence was not here to keep watch over her childe. Lorelai was an adult....but there was something about her. Shaking his head he turned towards Zodiac, nodding a greeting to her and her dance partner.

[Pyper]

This party had a theme? This teeny sliver of information had been left out. Although a theme could have been reasoning behind some of the attire. Several months ago, Lucretia may have walked into a place like this wearing mismatched rags that were several sizes too large.

“It’s like another skin,” the mentally skewed blonde commented past Charles’ and Nerissa’s conversation. She was padding into the coat, essentially physically accosting Ariadne in order to admire the handiwork of the maker. A palm cupped parts, patted at others. “Nice to meet you.”

The leather reminded her of someone. The name came close, and yo-yoed past her. It was slipping like the trickling droplets of waterfall through clumsy finger.

Maybe it was Styx.

[Nerissa Clemming]

Nerissa nodded in acknowledgement at Ariadne. "Nice to meet you." She watched Pyper curiously, a little half smile on her lips. Her sire always continued to surprise her, making things interesting.
"I think this theme is kind of fun. Gave me the excuse to wear this poofy thing." She gestured to her dress, swishing the large skirt a bit.

[Lofyn (DELETED 481)]

Eagerly accepting her glass, she watched the reaction of the gypsy to whomever had spoken to her mentally. "As troublesome as I might consider that ability to be, for the lacking of privacy it can create, I honestly would love to be able to communicate silently. Great for when you're breaking and entering, right?"

The blonde giggled, taking a sip of the red liquid that was all she could drink. "What sort of horns are we talking? Gazelle, Loki, Maleficent, or more intense like Darth Maul?" She didn't know if she could do the last, but threw it in as a comical option more than anything else.

[Ariadne]

"I like it on for now, thank you. This outfit it quite uncouth and I feel absurd in it. It must be something like Halloween. I'm very bad at costumes." She stared, aghast, as the slight blonde started... touching her? Ari was temporarily paralyzed with a mixture of horror, anxiety, and rage. Her hands flew out of her pockets after a moments hesitation and swatted at the wandering appendages of the girl. "Make no mistake about it that I will shoot you where you stand if you attempt to touch me again. I am not a toy or a mannequin for you to fiddle with as you see fit."

She turned to Doc, pulling her coat closed and crossing her arms instead of taking him."I assume these ladies are something of acquaintances to you?"

[Doc]

Doc smirked and looked from Ari to Nerissa, “Do you really need an excuse to wear an attractive outfit?” He inclined his head, “Trust me when I say, there are those of us males who appreciate a lady in her fully glory.” His following statement was quickly forestalled as Ari indignantly swatted at Lucretia.

Trying his best to keep the grin hidden, and failing miserably, his amused voice intoned, “She will shoot you.. shes shot me once..” He looked at her, “Or is it twice.”Shaking his head, “No matter.. she will do it, and look stunning as she does so.”

Turning to Ari, “Yes.. Lucretia is Phoenix’ therefore I claim her. And Nerissa is hers, therefore mine as well.”

[Ariadne]

"Twice. I also slapped you in the face when you refused to fight me. I had my reasons every time." With a skeptical eye she looked the other girls up and down while nodding. "Her line is ever expanding. I suppose that sort of means that yours is as well. This pleases you?"
