(1209) Adam, Velma and Chase

Sep 20th, 2012 03:00 PM

Unsurprisingly, many of the Kindred were already occupied in conversation and, particularly after his incredible faux-pas of the execution, he had no desire to interrupt any topics and thus do something else worthy of derision. Sure it had not been entirely his fault, but the Daeva was wonderful at dwelling on unfortunate circumstances and beating himself up over them.

Fortunately a vision of loveliness stole his attention, and the Daeva responded to the female succubus with a charming smile. "Rather more than usual, I think," he admitted. "But no one is ever alone at these get-togethers for very long."

Case in point, Adam had been standing around procrastinating for only a few minutes, and now he had a conversation partner.

"I'm quite sure we haven't had the opportunity to speak before. Mister Adam York," he introduced.

He paused in speaking to Velma, for only as long as it took to greet the incoming Ventrue. With the quick scrutiny of the other man, was a quick look of apology.

"Ah yes, Mr. Ankers," Adam replied, and extended a hand. "An apology is in order I believe, for the troublesome manner in which we met."

Ah, interesting how Velma is so quick to meet with her cousins, thinks the Ventrue as he sees the starlet engaged in conversation with Adam. "Miss Star, good to see you again," he says, giving her a smile and a friendly acknowledging nod before looking once again to Adam and the extended hand. Chase feels like cringing away from the gesture, thinking it might grasp him and never let go. Yet he steels his will and extends his own to meet it, clasping with a mildly firm grip.

"Well actually I was hoping to apologize for my use of disciplines on your unwilling person, but considering the circumstances perhaps neither of us were fully at fault. Still, I thought it more appropriate to meet under more civil conditions." Since he was the one who had intruded on their conversation he didn't wish to guide the topic too much. "I've seen you at Court a number of occasions, and at the Avengers movie premiere, so all the more reason to introduce myself," he added helpfully.

“Star, Velma Star!” The Daeva added with no effort. After which she flashed a large and beautiful smile, she just seemed to be acting on a whim, without the formality so normal in kindred attending court… and why would she need formality the usual formality? Today her mind was prolific with visions and metaphors of the surreal, she felt reborn into greatness!

“It’s a pleasure to meet you Mr. York.” she added with simplicity.

“For a moment I felt lost here!” her head shook slowly from one side to the other.

“Thanks for saving me!”

And she took a small step closer as she saw Chase closing in.

She observed the Lord approaching them and the polite way with which he addressed both sparked something in her mind.

Let’s test the waters…

“Mr Ankers is always the polite gentleman.” The songstress offered as a compliment and extended her hand waiting for Chase to do the courteous thing…

"Then we have both extended our apologies, and shall agree that the matter is closed?" Adam suggested mildly. It was a nice end. No ones feelings were hurt about the incident, and no cock-measuring contest had ensued over who was better or right in the situation. The Daeva could think of much more fun scenarios for them to be used in.

"Ah! Yes, the premier. Not my usual mode of entertainment, but it was certainly fun. The costumes were a nice touch."

He dropped his hand, and casually slipped a thumb into the belt loop of his trousers.

"Lost? You strike me as a woman who could fit in most places, with so little effort extended," Mr. York complimented, without indulgent exaggeration.

Given his initial disconcertion upon arriving to the full room, the Daeva had settled in with his usual ease. Really, he worried far too much.

Chase, having some training in gentlemanly affairs, did recognize the gesture Velma indicated. He received the hand in his own and bent at the waist to kiss the back of it. In regards to her dialogue he had little choice but to conform to her wishes lest he make her a liar. "You are too kind. I hope I can live up to such expectations." After all, kindred were more likely to tolerate a lowly neonate if he's polite.

Returning to the conversation with Adam he continues, "It is an agreement then, my thanks. Films, in my case, are a matter of personal interest, so I am eager to see both large blockbusters and artistic independent cinema. The costumes were...ah heh heh, a bit over the top, I'll admit, but also rather to my liking."

Velma smiles back to her fellow Daeva pleased by her cousin’s words and then to Chase after he does the gentlemanly thing.

She remained attentive to the exchange of words between the two kindred, apparently they had already seen one another in different occasions, and somehow she had become privy to them exchanging apologies over something, maybe the incident in the previous court… yes that had to be it.

“Costumes?”

“It reminds me; Herald and Keeper Villiers has spoken to me about the coming Halloween party… has any of you given thought about what to wear for the event?” Her words carried a hint of curiosity about it; Velma hadn’t yet been given enough pause to choose her costume… maybe she would find inspiration in the official court!?

**Vassagon** · Sep 24th, 2012 09:30 PM

"A Halloween party? That sounds like a fine idea. I really haven't given any thought to a costume design. The last costume I wore to a formal function did not exactly turn heads. Perhaps I can come up with something more creative." Was it childish of him to find costumes so interesting, he wondered. Perhaps he allowed his young age to show through too easily. But perhaps everyone needed time for festivities to lighten the mood and expel their worries. Yet the cautious Ventrue instinctively felt he aught to be on his guard.

"The last time I went to an affair where it was necessary to dress up, was the premier," Adam remarked, with a small nod to Chase, as the one who had also attended the event. "I realised belatedly that the attire I wore then, was also considered a costume."

With a tiny smirk, he added to Velma, so that she was not entirely out of the loop of the little joke: "Although, I must add, the clothes were not particularly ridiculous." That evening had been a hint to himself that he should research a little, before blundering into social occasions he had little knowledge of. Superhero films had been an entirely new thing to him at the time.

"Modern Halloween costumes are terribly creative in general; I'll try not to come up with something too cliche."

**Velma** · Sep 30th, 2012 10:52 AM

“Well, if any of you feel like having some special make-up for your costume I might be able to help, I’m no specialist but I know my way around.” She offered kindly to both gentlemen.

“I’m anxious to see what costumes everyone will come up with.” Velma casually fans herself slowly as if trying to cast something away.

“...but first I will have to decide one for myself to. I’m so out of ideas!!” her shoulders rose slightly upwards as she absent mindedly confided her lack of ideas for the Halloween costume to the duo in front of her.

**Vassagon** · Sep 30th, 2012 08:47 PM

"That's alright, Miss Star. I doubt anyone's made their decision just yet about costumes. You should choose something, a character or concept, that inspires you or that you identify with. Like the Greek Goddess Aphrodite, or Marilyn Monroe." Chase pauses and thinks a moment. "Okay, perhaps not Monroe. I think there were actually two of them during the last costume ball. But you get the idea." Was it too flattering to suggest the Greek goddess of love? Perhaps I should practice my listening skills for now.
