    The Avalon Club. After hours.

    The main lights are low. The sickly smell of spilled alcohol lingers. Someone's purple high heeled shoes are left behind by a table. The patrons have left for home.

    After another long night at Court, Martha had decided it was time to survey the situation Upstairs.

    Having struggled up The Stairs with a weary frown she stood now near the edge of the empty dancefloor. Looking at the discarded shoes and wincing at the reek in the air of the scents and smells. She'd smelled worse things; but it didn't mean she had to like this.

    Martha, dressed in her usual long gymslip, black blazer, straw boater hat and white blouse with red necktie, black Mary Jane's, her hair tied neatly into two twin tails with red ribbons, her satchel over a shoulder, leans on her cane as she hobbled to a halt to inspect the lonely shoes. Looking up from her inspection of them, she blinks and peers to see what and who else might be around at this late hour.

    Finally the music could be turned off, all the partygoers had left. A busy night at Avalon. Alice had worked tonight. She holds her hands up, they started to get white already. The blush of life obviously wasn't as eternal as the rest of their existence. The Daeva looks in mirror to look at herself, I'm looking dead already, and this boring black dress doesn't make it any better.

    However, she shakes the concerns away, she didn't need them. Her herd was having fun on the couches, so should she. Alice started singing softly, some French songs, when she hears someone she turns around.

    'Oh hey Keeper Villiers! I'm glad you could come. Whereever Court takes place, it's automaticly a Elysium for one night, right?' Alice looks a bit tired, but comes closer to Martha with a friendly smile on her face.

    She points to the people left on a couch. 'That's my herd by the way, just ignore them. They're quite drunk, and having fun with each other anyway.' She smiles at them, Alice seems really proud of her hotties.

    Martha, who is now looking pale without the benefit of Blush of Life, gathers up the lost shoes, tucking them into her satchel for later.

    Nodding to Alice, Martha offers her a friendly smile...and begins to limp heavily over to join Alice (her leg is stiff and dragging badly tonight) so she needn't shout. To judge by Martha's attention to Alice's legs and shoes, she seems to think the dress is anything but boring. Though the exact nature of Martha's fascination is...uncertain.

    "Ah!" she chirps in greeting, "A joy to see you, miss! I hope the evening went well for you!" she nods to the question and nods in indulgent amusement to the sight of the decadently sprawled Herd, "Yes...well, the Court usually takes place at one of the four Elysia...usually here or the Ember: so it is a question that becomes largely irrelevant. Why do you ask, miss?" Martha smiles, all happy now, leaning on her cane...her attention fully on Alice.

    'Well...' Alice smiles, but waits a moment before she continues. She starts putting all bar stools back in their place. 'Did you know the Daeva will be hosting the next Official Court, which takes place on May 10th?'

    She walks behind the bar, bends forward to a little stereo (compared to the club's bigger music stuff), and a moment later some music starts to play.

    Martha was about to reply - limping heavily after Alice...watching her shoes in action as Alice walks to the bar talking - but the music stopped her in her tracks. She leans hard on her cane...listening intently.

    Once the music is done Martha is left with the impression that to talk right now would be to intrude on some blissful silence in the wake of such lovely music, so she shakes her head meekly. Twin tails wobble. She was indicating some negative to at least one part of the query set her by Alice.

    Alice nods, happy to have informed her now. She seems satisfied with the effect of the music. The herd becomes a little bit more silent as well, kissing less passionate. As soon as the next music piece starts to play Alice slowly walks to Martha.

    She speaks softly. 'Are you alright Keeper Villiers? To be honest, you seem to move... more weary than usual. Is there anything I can do to help?' Alice didn't want to ask how the handicap could be possible, but perhaps she could help with the comfort of the Keeper.

    Martha smiles meekly as Alice asks about her welfare, she seems genuinely touched by the concern, she waves her cane towards the direction of The Stairs. "Weary? Oh...probably just those Stairs, miss...they are such a pest!" she tries a bashful giggle, looking down to the ground and Alice's shoes. "you asked about the Court, miss...does this mean," she says looking up now to meet Alice's eyes with another friendly gaze, "that you perhaps intend to host the Court at an alternative venue? Away from one of the four Elysia?"

    With her eyes Alice follows the wave to the stairs. Too bad the Keeper of Elysia finds such discomfort in her own Court. An elevator is not an optioin though.

    When Martha looks at her shoes Alice wonders what's going on inside the Keeper's head. Perhaps she should get to know the woman better. The Daeva smiles playfully at the question. 'I might, or actually, we might, Miss LaFleur and I organize it together. She had some other locations in mind, I hope she can be here tonight as well, to discuss the actual plans.'

    Martha's mood lifts instantly at this playfulness. "Goodness! It all sounds very exciting and an awful lot of fun! I should very much wish to help...if I may, of course! What are your initial plans, might I ask, please?"

    She seems very eager to join in and hobbles closer, leaning on her cane now, watching Alice with wide eyes.

    Alice claps in her hands, like an excited little girl. 'I know, it's all very much promising. And I can't tell a lot of big facts, though the theme is not meant to be a surprise.'

    Alice does a few steps backwards, more to the middle of the dancefloor. Her feet start moving very quick, after 10 seconds or so she stops dancing and grins. 'Do the Charleston!' and she throws her hands in the air, now she is happy. Even the herd seems distracted for a second.

    Then she suddenly stops and Alice moves to Martha again where she crosses her arms. 'So the Roaring Twenties it is!' And she laughs.
