    Where the Avalon mainstreams; the Asylum plays to darker fantasies. A mixture of fetish: fantasy, bondage, & uniforms, all are welcome.

    Block Party Rules: All are welcome (Vampires must be Acknowledged, Changelings must be Hold-Sworn). You can leave one location and move to another, but please keep it real and don't just jump out of one and into a current conversation in another.


    Tonight, counting down New Years with a three club block party, the club is filling. Regular, experienced patrons have been invited to exhibit Scenes, and inhibitions lower as bodies raise on the suspension gear.

    Upon entering, a wristband is given, giving access to Asylum, The Lily, and Reverence. A simple hole puncher marks off the free drinks.

    Lithe and thematically costumed door attendants greet people and provide a hole punched ticket which qualifies the party goer for two free drinks.

    The first thing long time patrons notice upon entering is that the lighting and sounds of rustling chains and distant wailing accompanied by the clank of iron bars are more subdued than usual.

    Once the sounds and lighting are absorbed, the patrons are hit with realization that they have stepped into a dungeon!

    Forbidding and looming stone walls and low lighting gives the club the style of a medieval dungeon to fit the occasion.

    Sturdy iron loops are fitted to walls and columns. Cells, cages, a rack and even a nonfunctional iron maiden all lend their physical support to atmosphere of an age forgotten despite the inclusion of all the modern suspension equipment, harnesses and furniture.

    This is where darker fantasies really do seem like they might come true...

    Although most events found him at one of the other clubs, Asylum was his favorite. Much had begun here, and it always evoked memories of Lioni. His eyes automatically went to where her sign had hung; it was gone now, moved to the rear, but he could still see it in his mind's eye as he could see her. He gave a smile and nod to the manager, indicating he was here for the evening and that she should keep his table and room free.

    His suit had been left behind. Black leather pants and a black button down blended him in with the Kine, and the shadows that found the clubs corners. Still, it was Asa: the shirt had french cuffs and cufflinks. Close inspection would reveal the cufflinks to be a crown and scepter.

    He was a Lord, after all.

    Black, white, and red seemed to be the colors of the night for her. Catherine had off dyed her hair for the night, quick highlights to bring her up to a streaked maybe strawberry kissed. She underlined her eyes with kohl with the intention to let it smudge down as the night went on.

    She dressed her lips in a deep mulberry red, to offset her teeth. Her neck and shoulders were bare, save for the thin, almost delicate, silver chain she always wore. She wore opera gloves the color of her lipstick, with two small buttons at each wrist.

    The dress was a white band across the top, that was held up primarily by a red and black corset before it flooded into a lightly flounced black miniskirt. Her heals were black and gave her two inches to her height.

    It was new years, why shouldn’t she celebrate by looking hot? The only down side was possibly having to compete with some bitch of a Daeva, and with three clubs she had no idea where the redhead wold go.

    Catherine chose the Asylum for the exquisite purpose that she had seen a few performances there, and perhaps it called to a segment of her nature. But then perhaps she would be able to catch @Max there again.

    Petite Martha had, as usual, struggled with costume selection. The one she decided upon had come to symbolise change for her. Sensing she was on the edge of a Chrysalis, she felt it was time to wear it once more.

    Though, for the moment, Martha is less concerned with transformation and more worried about her single high heel, the utter sense of immodesty and the crowd! She felt almost naked.

    A top hat and cane and tail coat. White tie, white waistcoat vest...her hair dyed raven black for the evening...a hint of make-up...a generous sprinkle of lavender scent...minty toothpaste added to a crisp white blouse...white gloves...the fishnet revealed a muscular leg, well suited to a dancer or athlete...her other was a metal peg leg. If she could get through the night without falling over, she decided, she would be pleased.

    She limped into the nightclub and looked about. Trying to understand what was going on and if there were any immediate threats or dangers. Wide eyed, she tried to conceal her nervousness and appear confident.

    This was a role. The costume marked more than just fun...it was, she reminded herself again, transformation! Change!

    Smiling with increasing confidence, she looked again about the room. Eager to meet people. Eager to talk. Tiny Martha limped deeper into the club.

    Observing with great interest the other costumes worn by the party goers and if any guest looked lonesome.

    Right behind the cute little magician with the one sexy leg walks Dillon Connery. Dressed head to toe in black, only the Gangrel's natural looks and broad-shouldered frame stand out. His confidence is quiet, and free of bravado. And on his lips sits a friendly, but crooked, smirk.

    His beast has other ideas about how to make an entrance. It is all posturing, threats, and bold challenge. Snarling with tusked maws in three separate voices, it doesn't care that it can sense no others. It just seems to want to make sure none others can possibly miss it.

    As the press of the mortal crowd allows it, Dillon falls into place seamlessly beside Martha, offering her a slightly larger smile. It is one of approval. He can still vividly remember the last time they were here... shortly before he remembers how nearly everyone else that was there that night is gone, now.

    He shakes the memory. No point in dwelling.

    "Well," he begins, just loud enough to be heard by the tiny Herald. His voice carries a subtle cue of sly mischief. "This place certainly hasn't lost any of its charm."
    Be polite. Be courteous. Show professionalism. And have a plan to kill everyone in the room.

    Catherine noticed the large and imposing beast the moment he stepped into the room. The serpent within her noticed it as well, and as usual coiled back in fear, hidden beneath it’s disguise. And the hissing was annoying until she mentally stepped on the thing.

    That was when she noticed Martha. Catherine’s eyes widened, since when did that happen?

    She couldn’t just watch, that was something she had to see up close and personal.

    Miss Villiers, Mister Connery.” She said as she walked up to the two kindred, her glove not yet holding anything of importance to a mortal cover up, though the wristband was obvious in her own mind.

    How are you doing this night?

    Asa's eyes moved about the club, watching, as always. Nothing --or noone-- had sparked interest until he saw a few more Kindred filter in.

    The first Mekhet was a bit of a surprise, mainly because of the attire. He was fairly sure she was generally a gypsy drowning in long skirts and jangly things. Typically Mekhet, a background face except for the attire and a memorable dancing display. The second Mekhet was also a surprise; not because of what she'd wore, but because he had thought The Asylum had been a one-off for her. The Gangrel, taken in context, was no surprise.

    He did note that Martha had changed her C-leg, and wondered at the reason as he made his way over to the two which had become three.

    "Good evening,"
    he greeted them with a warm smile, nodding to each.

    Catherine turned lightly at the approach of a man who presented no pulse of a beast. “Good Evening.

    She had smiled in the motion, and as soon as she recognized who he was she tipped her head slightly. “And how are you doing this night?

    It was only fair to extend the question of simple pleasantries to him, disincluding the Prince ( Asa ) from conversations probably had some form of a backlash. It was his domain after all.

    Martha smiles and dips a curtsy to her Prince. A smile follows to Dillon and Catherine. She's actually very excited to be here tonight and to see people she holds in esteem.

    Her excitement actually, briefly, overwhelms her anxiety at seeing the Prince in her immodest state of dress.

    "Good evening, sir! Good evening, Miss!" she enthuses to those near by and the Prince directly. "It is so exciting! I do hope the next year is a prosperous one for you, sir!" she smiles. There can be no doubting her sincerity.

    With a nod and smile to Dillon, Martha takes off her top hat and, knowing the Prince's love of roses, she dips her dainty gloved hand into the space in her hat and soon withdraws, with a theatrical flourish, a red rose...offering it to The Prince with another curtsy. A simple, but honest, show of her respect and good wishes.
