The Invictus

**Twist** · Oct 4th, 2011 04:46 PM

For the public at large, the Ballo Della Notte theatre was closed. Those with invitations would find valets waiting to take their vehicles and dark clothed men and women to escort them inside. Young, lithe dancers, Twist's herd, quietly supervised by her major domo, Kalos. The ghoul was watchful and attentive, ready to answer or address any concern a guest might have.

Once inside, the Kindred are escorted up to the mezzanine, where a section of seating has been cleared and replaced by a large wooden triangular table. Seats are meticulously arranged down two of the sides, five per side, with a single one at the apex and none at the base.

Soft music drifts up from the orchestra section, and figures dance across the stage; for those who have been before, the performance is new -- perhaps a preview of the new show.

Please enter and be specific about what seat is chosen, with one being the single seat, then even numbers down the left side and odd numbers down the right side. Questions should be placed in an OOC thread in The Living Room.

Ricardo gets out of the Taxi with Jen. With one hand, he holds the pack with all his gifts. With the other he holds the Taxi door for her. He is dressed in the Same black "Zenga" suit from the last time Court was held. He would have bought another one, but he spent too much money on tools instead. However, the purple silk tie is new. His shoes and his tie are the only parts of his outfit he feels good about. However, it was far too late to change anything now. Once Jen got out he holds our his arm for her to take it.

Unless someone stops or hints otherwise, Ricardo will take seat #10.

Jennifer wore a high necked gown in her Clan color of green; with decorative embellishment. A complementary black neck scarf was draped
fashionably across her neck.

Dress

In her left hand she held a small white canvas bag. Any one who sneaks a look over the lip spots several narrow white boxes about resting
within. She walks arm in arm with Ricardo until she reaches the table. As Ricardo chooses seat #10; she moves to the seat she feels
represents her place.

If no one stops her; she takes seat #11

**Daniella Sage** · Oct 4th, 2011 09:26 PM

Daniella makes her way inside, hoping the dress she choose was appropriate for the meeting. She wears her hair up, her silver choker and a long blue dress. She was nervous, wanting to make a good impression.

Dress and Hair

She enters and brightens as she sees Jennifer, she had enjoyed talking with her and was happy to see her. She decides to take seat # 8 and smiles and offers a respectable nod to Jennifer and Ricardo.

Daniella enters and takes seat #8 unless stopped

**Alice Brown** · Oct 5th, 2011 04:34 AM

Alice has her ghoul already functioning as driver and escort, nevertheless she is happy to use the present valets. It was only rude to refuse their help. While a slight smile is on her face all the time, one short moment it seems directed at Kalos.

In all elegance the Daeva needs to hold her long white dress with both hands to walk inside the theatre. A small purse hangs on one shoulder. Arriving at the table, she nods at the other Kindred. A moment she waits before choosing a seat. She knew this was some sort of first test, so in her head she counts all the Invictus she knows, deciding which seat would be safe, #6.

Now think as yourself, where would you like to sit...?

Alice takes seat #5

Conner Greyson Seat #4

A black sedan pulls up to the outside of Ballo Della Notte and out steps a smartly dressed Cheyenne. She took the back drivers side door handle in her hand and opened it. Out steps Conner Greyson wearing a sharp and classic suit. As Conner stands up straight he adjusts his suit jacket and indigo blue tie, making sure everything is in its proper place. As he checks his cufflinks a jeweled watch shows on his wrist. On his right ring finger a bronze ring sits with runic symbols.

Conner

Conner walks around and offers and arm to the other passenger.

Ariana Donovan Seat #3

A simple, yet elegant dressed Ariana Donovan exits the sedan next. She wore a long trumpet style dress in a deep purple with a small bolero that gave the Lordess a simple and classy look. The watch the Prince gave to them all adorned her small wrist. She smoothed her dress gently as she stepped out of the vehicle. Her copper tresses cascaded across her back and shoulders as she entered into the theatre escorted by Conner. Ariana smiled to Kalos as they walked in and one of the Valet’s took the car.

Ariana

As they entered Ariana admired the beautiful decorum and how the dancers gave an elegant flare to the setting. She saw the two new hopefuls sitting at the table. The Lordess looked at the table for a moment and nodded to Conner to take the fourth seat, and Ariana took the third. She looked around and marveled the theatre. Ariana wondered if there was a new show opening soon, she still had two tickets to use. Cheyenne had brought a medium sized bag that was cleared by the doorman. Inside contained a few small boxes and she set it off to the side. The ghoul then bowed to Conner and exited the building. Ariana smiled to Ricardo, Jennifer, Daniella and Alice as the Lordess became acquainted with her seat.

"Good evening." Ariana greeted with a grin to all at the table. "You all look wonderful this evening." She spoke with sincerity as she set her purse beside her.

Cassandra Dawes Seat #7

The invitation had found her.

Cassandra was surprised to hear from Twist but was delighted at the chance to break from her work at co-ordinating the exhibition. Sponsors to meet...media types to dine with...art historians to talk to. There was more to this art exhibition activity than she'd supposed. So...tonight she decided to take a break and meet her fellows.

Arriving in her BMW she parked accordingly and made her way to the theatre. Slightly apprehensive. As usual, her most recent encounter with her Clan and Covenant had not gone well. Cassandra made little excuse for finding distraction and solace in her new found passion for work.

She made her way to seat 7. But does not yet sit.

Nodding happily enough to the new faces as she struggles to restrain her Beast.

She daren't be seated just yet. Just takes care to nod and curtsies respectfully to those more senior in rank than her.

The purpose of the evening was as much a mystery as the sudden invitation.

Adam York had arrived in Sacramento a couple of days before, and in the hours since he had been having little sightseeing excursions to acclimatise to the brand new city. It was pleasantly different to New York, and he was rather looking forward settling down for a...an indeterminate amount of time. And of course getting to know a few people; preferably quite a few.

He had been honestly surprised to find an invitation at his hotel room door, not too long after his arrival. But it was actually nice to know that someone in this city had their finger on the pulse of the newcomers; and he had of course ensured that his suit was neatly cleaned and pressed for the occasion. Adam's background had always dictated he be perfectly presented, and it was a belief that his Sire had also adhered to.

The Daeva stepped from his car, straightened the red tie and adjusted the gold cufflinks before reaching inside the vehicle to pull out a small black bag. He may not have had any standing within the Invictus of New York, but his Sire had ensured he knew the nuances so as not to cause offence. The bag held a few gifts to present, when the time arose.

Adam silently followed his escort, his dark brown eyes roving around the splendid theatre. It was impressive, and the pleasure at being in splendor again reflected on his relaxed face.

He peered quickly, unobtrusively at the unfamiliar faces as the other Kindred found their seats, and found his own a couple of minutes after. It would have been hideously rude to move to the front, and the middle area still seemed wrong for someone of his standing. Yes, the back seats seemed far more appropriate.

Adam sits at #9

Oct 6th, 2011 02:30 PM

"Good evening everyone." Conner says as he slides into his seat. "If I may be so bold you ladies look lovely this evening." Conner says as looks to the new arrival. "Good evening sir." Conner stands as the unknown quantity walked in.

**Jennifer Hazelton** · Oct 6th, 2011 10:52 PM

As Daniela entered and smiled to her; Jennifer nodded across the table to the Mekhet woman with a welcoming smile.
Miss Brown comes in next and recieves a nod of welcome from the Nosferatu.

"Good evening; Balif Sage; Miss Brown."
Jennifer greets in a friendly manner.

Her head turns as the Deputy - Regent and Harpy - Regent enter and take thier seats.
"Regent Donovan." Turning to Ariana; she nods to the proper level of respect to the other woman's status.
"Regent Greyson." She nods to the Deputy - Regent with the same level of respect.

"I trust that your evening has been well?"

As the unknowns enter; she glances at them with interest.
