    This is an Open Shard. Standard Shard Rules apply.

    Poppin' bottles in the ice, like a blizzard.

    The re-opening of Nox isn't just a change in decor. The music throbs to the faster rhythm of EDM, and the bodies are jammed a bit tighter with space made for VIP tables. The balcony/catwalk remains, looking down on the dance floor, and from here, one can get a glimpse of who's who. Scattered around the upstairs are a few more VIP tables, for those that need a little privacy, a little more quiet, or don't want to be in the thick of things.

    On the dance floor, bodies flow to the music, dark shapes splashed with random overhead lights.

    A standard metal detector is at the entrance, as well as a coat closet. While the vast majority of the guests are dressed to impress as the invite suggests, it isn't mandatory. Everyone is welcome to the party. Come. See and be seen.

    Waitresses can be found everywhere, supplying drinks, and if you find the right one, maybe off-menu party favors.

    Death by stereo? tiny Martha mused...hmm...she felt she'd earned her cookie by thinking about Lost Boys!

    ...Monsters...


    She bobbed and hobbled along, holding tight to her cane as she wriggled along in rhythm to the high temp beat. It was the sort of tempo she'd barely known...or even conceived of...outside of Liszt and his Hungarian craziness...

    Blinking at the harsh lamplight, she gripped tighter at her cane and watched the crowd move...studying the shoes, boots and legs of any ladies close by.

    Martha's costume and attire for the evening seems almost fully black. A long velvet hooded cloak. Her cane is gripped tight as she limps to greet the arrivals with a warm and friendly smile. Sensibly she's activated her Blush of Life but her smile seems pure all the same. Her left leg drags heavily, though she's trying so very hard to move with gracefulness.

    As she hobbles to greet the guests her black cloak billows, it's clear she's wearing a daring pair of thigh boots and sturdy leather gloves.





    To those initiated into the mysteries of the Marvel Universe Martha's dressed as Selene, the psychic vampire Black Queen of the Hellfire Club. To others, she's perhaps likely to be conforming to the concept and theme of the club: the strange Neo-Gothic nature of the night...and those that patrol it...

    Smiling and leaning hard on her cane, she smiles and...blinking: the beat had taken a shift as the DJ takes it to a bridge...

    Edwin was quite looking forward to the re-opening of Nox, seeing it to be quite fortunate that the change occurs pretty much the same time as his own arrival in the Domain. It was almost destiny in the Lord's mind.

    Wearing a crisp white shirt (the sleeves naturally rolled up to expose his arms), a pair of black leather pants and black boots, Edwin made sure he was dressed to impress, certainly, but he was also here for a good time. He had no way of getting into the VIP areas without invitation but with any luck and some hard work, Edwin aimed to get there within twelve months. All he needed was to survive long enough for that to occur.

    Even though his skin was flush with false life, he couldn't hide his Beast in any manner other than was already gifted to him; an angry monster ready to fight. It was a natural part of the Second Descent.

    Once into the club, Edwin didn't waste time. He headed straight for the dance floor, ready to get involved in the press of the kine. It may not be a mosh pit but it would do.

    Aaren heard about Nox's re-opening somewhat at the last minute. Angie, a dealer at one of the local Auction Houses told Aaren about it, asking if she'd be there. After a flurry of information was exchanged and a quick change of clothing, Aaren was slinking into the club. Every step allowed the atmosphere to sink in, to get a feel for the music thumping through the system, and for the staff to notice a VIP person has arrived.

    If the sixties convertible she arrived in wasn't enough of a clue.

    If one had to state they were a VIP, they weren't.

    Even if the valets didn't do their job to whisper to the right person that someone was the right person, they might have noticed what the Art Dealer was wearing. Aaren was wrapped in a pencil dress that was slim and structured and set-against the ornate lace it was composed of. The waiters either knew the designer, or they wouldn't. Aaren's best accessory, was something no one would notice: her Mask.

    Shown to a table and offered a menu, Aaren shot out a quick text message.

    After a quick shower and change of clothes, Marcus arrives in a taxi. The elemental walks up to the entrance and strengthens his mask when he sees the metal detector... just in case. Once inside, he's glad it looks like he has arrived relatively early. Hopefully, it will make finding Aaren a bit easier than if he'd shown up any later. Looking around the newly reopened club for his date, he tries to recall if he'd come here for Rick's bachelor party or not. He definitely remembers The Lily and Club Ember, but he's not sure about this place...

    Alicia rolled into the club in black, Italian leather boots, black jeans, and a black tank top that displayed a tempting slice of pale, toned stomach. Her lips briefly curled into a savage grin as she took in the writhing mass of cloth, sweat, and flesh on the dance floor, and felt the music's bass vibrated off her skin. This was her element. Her favorite place to be. She hadn't been able to resist the alluring call of the Nox's opening night. The ground she walked on wasn't safe. She was literally surrounded by miles of enemy territory, but the shivers of anxiety only mixed with the pulse of the bass and the vibrations of mad joy that the night caused in her. The Pure might think they owned Sacramento, and coming here might very well be a mistake, but Luna-damn if Alicia was going to be cowed by those fuckers. They had no right over this city, and she dared the Pure to try and attack her while she was surrounded by the Herd. No, no phantom threat of Pure was going to keep her away from that thing which called to the primal joy deep within her. She would dance among the herd tonight, bold and indomitable. She was a Storm Lord. She was Alicia Serrano, and she was going to party until her blood sang and her body ached.

    She moved onto the dance floor with the ease of a predator in a familiar jungle, the ease of a woman at home. The music guided her hips and her feet guided her to a comfortable place to dance. Soon her body was bound to the beat of the music and she smiled as she felt that nagging need to move, to express, disappear. As her sinews and muscles lent her to the DJ's song, Alicia's eyes caught the sight of intricately tattooed arms, and a man with an intriguing magnetism that was dancing close by. She shot the man ( Edwin Bridges ) a smile and beckoned him to dance with her.

    Getting Marcus' message back brought a grin, unbidden, to Aaren's face. She stood on her heels, plain silvery d'orsay pumps and searched the crowd for the familiar Elemental.

    Spotting him among the crowd of revelers she waved to him, hoping to get his attention. Waiters threaded their way through the crowds and the bar already seemed busy with orders and drinks being passed here and there.

    Aaren's hips swayed slightly to the rhythm of the thumping music; the night promised to be a good one.

    It would probably amuse, or horrify, some of the Kindred he held Praxis over to know that their Prince spent more time considering what to wear than how to dispense justice. Nevertheless, it was true. Clothing was one of the first messages a person sent to another, on many levels. And so he pondered far too long on whether to follow his own invitation and 'dress to impress' with something formal, or to keep thing simple.

    In the end, he decided simple was better. Let the guests shine. It was times like these he missed Ciara Maskelyne, and her own penchant for fashion.

    He watched for some time from the DJ's booth, enjoying the music. The slower grunge sound of the nineties had been excruciating, and the best part of the EDM revival was the faster pace. And the drugs. In his office, there was a blood doll rolling out of her mind, and he felt her spiked blood rippling through him.


    One guest caught his eye; more felt than seen. Eyes sweeping over the press of bodies, and one dark shape screamed back at him. Curious, he went down for a closer look, blending into the dancing throng. Asa smiled at the memory of the last time he'd been on the floor, showing Tracy Burns how to dance.

    Edwin wasn't the greatest dancer, far from it. But what he lacked in ability he made up for with...well, sheer balls. He simply got involved, mimicking what others around him was doing, and just made sure he was having a fucking good time. Catching a movement nearby, Edwin saw the quite audacious young lady moving towards him, looking quite at home on the dance floor.

    The Lord smiled at the challenge because that was what it was, and slid over to meet Alicia , locking eyes with her.

    He mouthed something towards her, his voice lost in the music (although it was intentionally quieter than normal).

    "Nice boots," he grinned.

    Although Marcus doesn't see the shining skin of her gilded mien, a beautiful woman like Aaren will always stand out in a crowd... at least to him. Returning her wave, the elemental makes his way over to the fairest and gives her a light kiss on the cheek as a hello. It feels so nature in the moment that Marcus doesn't even think to question his actions, but just stands there smiling at her.

    "Alright? Now, that's quite a dress. You look gorgeous."

    Feeling a bit stupid for simply stating the obvious, Marcus briefly glances around at the crowd before idly perusing the drink menu. He might even succeed in taking his eyes off of Aaren for a moment or two.

    "Good crowd so far. I wonder if they have anything special on tap for tonight."
