(1209) Autumn Coronation

    JUSTIN KINCAID

    The Manikin walked into the hall, his nascent Mantle surrounding him in a warm feeling of let's go. It was not unlike the restrained perception that one could get by looking at a high-performance car parked in a showroom and knowing that it was there to go. He was dressed in a black shirt, black vest and very dark grey leather pants out of a nod to the soon to be dominant season. A bright red necktie broke up the monotony and served as a badge of his Summer allegiance.



    Justin's situational awareness was somewhat limited - he couldn't pick up on the subtle undercurrents that played through the room - and he didn't follow Freehold gossip that would have otherwise enabled him to keep up with the script. But it was Summer's duty to keep a vigil for anything that could possibly pose a threat to the gathered Lost, and with his new title came new responsibilities. Giving his King a bow of the head as he made his way into the gathering, the Manikin acquired some bottled water and found a good spot to watch the event as it unfolded.

    JUNO MANTISERRA

    Juno rarely attended any gatherings of the Lost and her individual social interactions were becoming few and far between.

    The last time she had stepped foot into the Four Seasons was back in Spring, and the new faces reminded her that when she was the Sage Escort and required to keep up with such things at least she had a good idea who people were. Now she hadn't the first clue. She had even managed to forget the names of some of the newer arrivals to the Spring Court.

    Juno was dressed in a black t-shirt with the band logo for Arkhamin Kirjasto across the front, a pair of black bondage paints, and a worn pair of boots. With her black and greyscale tattoo sleeves, she cut quite a somber image indeed. The fact that she had a Spring mantle that perfumed the air around her with the scent of dew-touched grass was a startling contrast.

    Giving Terri a wave, but not wanting to interrupt her conversation, the Manticoress waited for a chance to step up to the buffet. Her tail curled slightly as the interesting scents reached her discerning Feline nostrils.

    diCarto's eyes tracked Violet as she entered. She was just that kind of woman.

    I thought I was gay, but...

    Snapping out of it, he returned his attention to Terri.

    Whatever the jester had in mind for an amusing prank was derailed in its tracks. Heath's eyes catch the form of Violet and he instantly swoons. If his eyes had the capacity they would deform into sickening heart-shapes that would pulse from their sockets. "Woooooow," says Heath in a drawn out wistful awe, falling back onto the stool beside Dominyk. Of course he had seen that face before, a face that could only exist in dreams, the famous Jazz Singer, Violet LeBlanc, a beauty unparalleled.

    Just her Mantle made him feel warm and fuzzy, his mouth agape, his eyes trailing after her every movement.

    Lou couldn't help but notice Violet's entrance - whether it was the overwhelming feeling of fresh spring air, the scent of flowers, or the immaculate golden aura she emanated was irrelevant. Everything about her was big, in an almost frightening way. The woman was as beautiful as her music - maybe he'd get the opportunity to speek with her later - but as he was mid-conversation with her monarch, he decided to save his excitement for later. Meanwhile, he smiled and offered a wave in her direction before turning his full attention back to Ms. Rosemary. He was a fairly avid fan of Ms. LeBlanc's - now more so than ever.

    Noticing Heath suddenly slump back behind Dominyk and exclaim, Terra followed his eyes to the...

    Knowing what little I do of Them and those who become Fairest, I do not envy her Durance. I may want to crawl under a table, but only because she's walking towards me right now...oh, the bar, she's definitely interested in the bar. not me.

    Suddenly the thing from the buffet was here Decibelle and offering her hand to shake. Compared to the new best in the room, a hurtful thought came into Terra's mind. hi jessica...you don't look horrible today! But catching herself, she instead mumbling introductions and shook Jessica's hand, offering it to Morgan Origins next. Feeling backed into a corner and a little complex, she sips her martini as a reprieve.

    "Hey Jessica and Morgan."

    Mary Pumpkin flutters in to the room like a beautiful, lollygagging monarch butterfly, dressed in a cozy orange wool dress and black leggings. Wait, don't Monarch butterflies die around October? And they really need to fix the damn calender, what with the numbers being all goofy...

    Random thoughts rattling off in her head, she flutters about the room in a slow circle, absorbing sights and sounds but not quite being a part of the scene. The lazily waves at faces she recognizes and circles around to the buffet to gather this and that like a hungry bird, before saunter-skipping over in the general direction of her Queen. Just 'cause, really.

    Domin....” It was that moment of stunned silence, that moment. It was her scent that he had caught first, then the way everyone in the room noticed her, and then the Jealousy hit him like a ton of bricks.

    Then the desire.

    And then there she was, Violet LeBlanc two seats down. An obvious spring...and that was the fact that made him want to scream in frustration.

    He looked over at the jester, who had appeared out of nowhere. "Yep."

    "Hey. How are you guys -" Jessica's enthusiasm began to wane as she noticed Dominyk's attention began to lapse away from her, along with the rest of the court. Heck, they hadn't even looked at them when they entered, and they'd put in so much effort into their appearance...

    This wasn't fair. The thought suddenly occured in the back of Jessica's mind, mean and spiteful, as she saw everyone's head divert across the room, their gaze fixating on her. This wasn't even her season, either, it was Autumn, and she didn't even have to try to be amazing. Let's see how she looked when she was ripped to shreds and turned into something like this, when she had to try so hard to look even remotely normal. How would she feel if she got scared and - she should be the one people were looking at! She was confident and pretty, and this was like a storybook, and everything!

    She wasn't even aware what she'd done until she'd done it, feeling her familiar contracts lapse, move, shift - and hurl themselves at the Fairest with all the spite she was packing behind them. This wasn't her season. Maybe she should learn how Autumn felt.

    Faintly reeling from the headrush of the moment, the immense satisfaction she got from that, Jessica fell silent, her gaze returning to her small group. Maybe they could start looking at her, now.

    Jessica's attempt appears to fail. Anyone with a Clarity of 6 or better who wishes to detect a Contract being used in their vicinity may spend a Willpower and roll their Clarity-2 per the Extended Kenning rules

    diCarto's eyes narrowed and he looked around suddenly, feeling something that he shouldn't have been feeling in here. He hissed to Terri quietly, "Did you feel that? Someone just slung a Contract in here!"

    ...needless to say, he did not sound pleased.
