Day of Restoration: Nightmode's Victorian Fetish Ball

The first thing that strikes anyone when they enter the club, if they’re familiar with it that is, is the colour change. The usual amber lights that seem to create a warm glow in the dimly lit place have been replaced by red lamps, creating a more sinister feel to the atmosphere of the club. The red lighting however wasn’t the only light source as a number of candles had been carefully ensconced around the club. The gaming machines are on, but they have been covered in yards of black fabric, as has almost every other surface in the club; the idea being to create an opulent feel for the night’s festivities. The music for the evening is symphonic metal with the likes of Nightwish and Epica emanating from the speakers. While the music is appropriately loud, it’s not so load that people cannot carry on a conversation. The staff are also in costume for the evening but rather than sticking to the red and black theme, the staff are all in gold so that they are distinguishable from the guests.
A couple of bouncers stands at the entrance of the club, their function being two fold; they are there to help maintain order but more importantly they are there to make sure that no-one with a pulse is admitted as the function is exclusively for vampires. The bouncers are distinguishable not only through their golden cravats but through their overly large physical forms, as they all fall on the path of the killer.
Each vampire that enters has their hand stamped with a small crescent moon once they’ve paid the modest cover charge. Showing the stamp at the door allows the wearer to come and go as they please.
The bar is well stocked, the staff are friendly and the night is full of promise.

*The killer saw and advert online, a vampire only party. He knew the establishment and sent a quick email to kennedy before dressing to fit the code. Leather pants and New Rocks were topped by a silk shirt and velvet frock coat. Tying a scarf about his neck the killer made the short walk around the corner. Mordechai entered Night Mode, looking down at the smallish bouncer as he headed towards the shadows at the end of the bar, swaying slightly to the ethereal tones of Simone Simons.*

Lorelai didn’t really socialise much with others, so when she saw the invitation for the ball online she decided to make an effort. First of course she had to obtain a dress, and having acquired something semi-appropriate, she dressed, forwarded the invite to Levi and made her way to the club that she was less than familiar with. The woman on the door stamped her hand and she smiled at her softly before slipping inside. Looking around she saw no-one she wished to speak to and so made her way to the corner of the room.

The music had a steady, calming beat. The songstress a clear, soaring voice. Once more Mordechai wondered at the calming influence of music on him. The anger and rage dissipated almost as if it had never been. It appeared as tho he had arrived early, and as he glanced around he ordered a high iron refreshment from the bar. A flash of scarlet caught his eye, and the sight before him froze him in place. Lorelai, master of the sack dress, was receiving a stamp, and crossing the bar. In a beautiful skin baring black and scarlet ball gown. Taking his glass, he moved forward, following the blonde across the dance floor Lorelai?

Lorelai heard her name and turned. She hadn't missed the hulk-like killer as he stood out no matter what crowd he was in but she had rather hoped that he wouldn't see her. She swept a forward hanging strand of hair back behind her ear and smiled sweetly at him. She didn't particularly enjoy being in his company, especially when she was alone but she had promised Pru that she would try and make an effort to be nice to him.
"Hello Mordechai. Is Kennedy here?"
She knew Kennedy was his partner and her eyes swept the room in hope, as a buffer between them would have been more that welcome. Sadly, she saw no-one else in the club that she recognised and so her focus had to return to the somewhat scary individual standing before her.

A small smile crossed his lips as Lorelai mentioned his kennedy' name "I have notified her, she should be here soon." He knew the young telepath feared him, but did not fully understand the reason why. No matter, he let the smile broaden slightly hoping to offset that fear. "You look very beautiful tonight. An excellent choice of dress, it compliments your coloring well" Taking a sip of the crimson drink he carried, he motioned towards the bar, "May I get you a refreshment? They are serving cocktails that are palatable for us." He was careful not to touch her, as he knew her trust in him was fragile.

Lofyn was a stranger to Nightmode. Her ethereal white hair, alabaster skin, and love for corsets and platform boots sure fit in here. Her long
gown flowed over the dance floor, parasol open and resting idle on her shoulder. She had opted to wear relatively flat boots, traditional Victorian fare with heels less than an inch tall. But that did nothing to make her any shorter. Being six feet tall was definitely different.
She approached the bar slowly, floating more than she walked, and said ever so softly, "May I have a...glass?" She still didn't like asking outright for blood. It struck her as awkward.

Lorelai shook her head at the offer of the drink. She didn't drink the stuff if she could help it and thanked he stars that Levi helped her feed on an almost daily basis.
"I'm quite full thank you," she told Mordechai as she tried to keep her fear in check. "I've sent the invitation to Levi too. Should I tell Pru?" She couldn't believe she'd forgotten her goddess of a sire and blushed with shame.

Taking a sip he nodded to Lorelei as his eyes tracked the statuesque blonde that had just entered. "Yes, I think Pru would enjoy it here" Subconsciously the killers hands lightl caressed the velvet, as he was once more reminded that no holster sat beneath it. His foot tapped gently to the music as he drained his glass setting it down on a nearby table. The music had set the mood, calming the beast inside. "Would you honor me with a dance?" Slowly he reached out a hand towards the diminutive telepath. A twinkle lit his eyes "I dont bite, much"

“Oh… I… ”
Lorelai’s eyes darted around the room as she desperately hoped someone would swoop in and save her, but alas the stars were against her and she quickly realised that she would have to save herself. Averting her eyes from his gaze, she softly shook her head.
“I think perhaps my first dance had best be saved for Levi… Unless he tells me he’s not coming. Which he hasn’t. But he might. He’s works ever so hard.”
Lorelai lifted her chin and looked up into his eyes before offering him the smallest of smiles.
“Please don’t be offended but I think I might go get some air.”
The urge to breathe swept through her and she rushed to the entrance, pushing her way through the building crowd; as she went she forwarded the online invitation to Pru and prayed to the stars she’d come.
