    Sacramento was a hot spot of night clubs. With each catering to a different taste and style, it was impossible not to find one you liked.

    Reverence was one of those clubs that catered to a certain taste. This was the club that goths, EMOs and anyone looking to step into a darker fantasy world.

    Halloween was a night for the usual clientele to step their game up, and anyone wanting to step into the Goth world to do so. But on this night, any costume was welcome.

    Stepping into Reverence was like stepping into a Gothic fantasy castle. With everything from columns and baroque style sconces, it was a whole different world. Purple lighting was dim, but still showcased the details. From rich long flowing velvet curtains, to the stained-glass windows, nothing was overlooked. Eyes are drawn up the columns to wrought iron balconies, where one can find the elite dancing or simply sipping a drink and observing those below them.

    Fog machines are at work, as purple hued fog descends from the balconies, moving eerily down the columns and onto the dance floor.

    A wristband is given at the door, along with a stamp to those of legal drinking age. The standard coat check for purses and coats is off to the side of the main doors. The time for ghouls, goths and whatever tickled your fancy was upon you.

    Lack of planning ---> Generic costume idea.

    At least she hadn't just picked one up at Target? The dress itself wasn't enough to sell the 'witch' costume. But add some accessories, a themed manicure and makeup and she felt it was sufficient for the evening.

    Besides, worst case... at least she matched the usual theme of Reverence. Or at least what their Facebook page had identified as their usual theme.

    Clearing the door and obtaining her stamp, she moves slowly through the club with the eventual goal of the bar. Being in no rush she takes her time to enjoy the costumes and people on display as well as let her senses grow accustomed to the lights and sound of the place.

    Her only lingering concern as she ordered a whiskey sour was whether or not the black hair dye was as temporary as the bottle said.

    Reverence. The only thing that was the same from last year to this.

    New costume (classic Catwomen with those wicked red goggles) New Cabal (Foxes Den which just might be something even newer soon) New Order Status (meaning she had some now. Holy fuck she'd gone from Apostate and Proud to Guardian in a year!)

    So coming to the place she and Fisher met up with Avis and Star last year came with a bundle of feels. Like. Lots. So.

    To the bar!

    (Where she ordered a blowjob for old times sake)

    And spots a Sand!

    "Hey! Fancy seein' you here."

    The sweet, fragrant smells of roses mixed with lilacs emanate from her as she casts magic. The scent intensifies, bordering on intoxicating, when Life magic is cast. When Aurora casts Vulgar magic, the scent takes a nasty turn, to the putrid, nauseating odor of a rotting corpse. The stronger the magic, the more those around want to retch at the smell.

    The last time she wore this costume had actually been on Halloween, a couple years ago. Hell, she even found herself a cute bunny. Would she be so lucky tonight? Only one way to find out.

    Black and red hair dye had been bought that afternoon, and a couple hours had been spent applying it. To only the ends of her hair, which is a lot easier to say than actually do. Her trick? Throw her up in the pig tails for the style and then dye ‘em.

    The leather for the costume still fit like a glove, not that she thought it wouldn’t. She kept herself in excellent shape. But still, it had been a few years. The collar was slipped around her neck as she applied a light, almost white makeup to her whole face. Lips matched the red leather and her eyes were done in a smoky, slightly smudged look. The leather straps around her chest were tightened as she took a deep breath. It was the one thing she hated with the costume, it would be a bitch to breathe the whole night.

    The cab drops her off at the club, and as she enters, the gloves are slipped on.

    While this Harley did have her infamous hammer, she left it at home. Knowing not many clubs would let it in.

    Bouncing to the bar, she found her Catwoman, and….was that a Sand?! With black hair?!

    “I must say ladies, I think we all look amazing tonight!” she gushed with a hand on her hip before placing an order for a shot of rum. Shots were in order.

    Familiar voice, draws her attention away from watching an angel and devil dance. It had been a study. Option 1: Couple. Option 2: Friends working off tension under guise of alcohol and costume.

    "Hey! Ohh..." initial high level excitement at the sound of Tuesday's voice dips audibly when visual contact is made. "I totally spaced the Marvel Doctor theme... crap."

    "But! You look great! I like the retro vibe."
    Cheer returns, "I haven't been to this place yet, thought it might be a good place to find some comic-con worthy costumes."

    A third familiar voice led to shifting to allow Aurora easier access to the bar and her shot. "Happy Halloween! And thank you- I personally agree. Though... is that the costume you would have been able to do a routine in?" Dubious. It was attractive enough to be a show in itself, but how did she breath? Let alone move?

    This was supposed to be a fashionable location to visit. Well for Circe, or Mary perhaps tonight, it was someplace new to visit. The elf had always thought of those connections she'd built in the show biz as only good for masking guns. But turns out they had uses for partying. As it was the stunning Italian blonde had got plenty of looks on her way to the upper gallery. Mhairi had outdone herself with the stunning dress of dark blue with gold characters sewn into the black hemlines of the sleeves and shoulder straps. Circe didn't need to put a lot more effort then that into dressing up. Just a little crown to go with the gold and she was done.

    Sure she could've gone to Funderland but she was a little tired of the politics for now. Time to have some fun instead. And the costume was great, she'd have to give the Autumn Queen that much. Later.

    Circe had no trouble getting up to the upper gallery, idly wandering if the gawking bouncer would've let her up anyway even without her invite to do so. And it looked like this "princess" wasn't the only one dressed to kill tonight.

    "Oooh, what lovely costumes! You ladies have excellent taste," she grinned as she looked at the ladies already gathered.

    Very much like her Mask. However, her skin takes on a more reflective, rubbery texture and she appears... thinner... with limbs that are slightly too long and thin for her general proportions. There is also faint traces of webbing between her fingers and toes.

    There is a another character in a faux medieval dress stalking the shadows. Ingrid, Vernal Queen and Darkling.

    Picture her in a black dress, the pale skin of her shoulders and face almost glowing in the purposefully dim light. A wig of long black hair, marked by slashes of purple, frame her face. Long trailing sleeves dip into the shadows and as if that were not enough, the Vernal Queen has refused to harden her mask. For those who are Lost, the Darkling Spring Courtier appears to almost grow from shadows that desperately cling to her like tar.

    She almost looks at home; a certain dark confidence blooms on her face, manifests as a thin smile that curves her shiny blackened lips.

    She has been making for the bar as well, albeit in a roundabout fashion. Her desire for the evening was to show off, and this she has done. For now. Now she wants a drink... And to see if she has caught the attention of anything... interesting... for the night.

    Ingrid claims a stool with perfect poise shaping her back and one slippered foot, teasingly, slipping out from under her thick skirts. Only Circe could make out the liquid black filaments of shadow-stuff snaking stickily back to the dance floor, trailing in the Darkling's wake.

    "Ladies..." Ingrid spoke gently, politely acknowledging the group next to her.

    Her lips quirked into a broader smile when her eyes alighted on Circe.

    A free hand was waved dismissively towards Sand, “It’s all good! You’re totally pulling off the whole badass witch look.” Solemn nod before downing her shot and ordering another. She didn’t have to drive, it was time to let lose!

    Glancing down at the costume with a happy nod, “Yup, the very same one!” but could she do a routine in it? “But I haven’t actually tried a full routine yet. Some pieces I can do, but I’m not sure about the ones that require a lot of movement.” She then looks thoughtful, “But you know what? I should try it sometime. Would be a shame for this to sit in my closet again collecting dust.” It was really a fun costume and should be seen more.

    Blue eyes take in the exotic beauty, who Aurora was guessing was some type of Lord of the Rings character? She wasn’t exactly sure, but it looked like a lot of work had gone into it. Maybe handmade and not store bought? It would be rude to ask, so the Shaman keeps those thoughts to herself, opting instead to smile.

    “Why thank you. Yours is quite exquisite, love all the detail, really stands out.” She offers. Hoping the girl would say what she was supposed to be.

    And wait, wasn’t that the woman from the bar? And didn’t she have a unique name? Like one she hadn’t heard much before? Damn, she wasn’t sure about the name, but was pretty sure it was the same woman.

    Either way, she looked great. The costume really seeming to suit her.

    “Hey! Great to see you again! That purple looks stunning, really pops!”
    she doesn’t venture with the name, not sure if her memory was right or not.

    “I have to say, I think the poor guys, or girls,” cause you never know, “don’t stand a chance tonight with so many beautiful woman in one place.” A wink a grin was offered.

    Downs the shot, then licks her lips to make sure she got all the whipped cream. "S'all good! Regrets and Halloween don't mix. There's always next year." Turing to the mage-y ladies.

    Hazels spotting the Tolkien elf look a like and the pale click with the purple....who Aurora seemed to know. "Hey! Selena Kyle!" she shouts over the music with a wink. It was a Halloween. And it wasn't like Tuesday was going to use a name realer then Catwomen's.

    Turning back to the comvo at hand. "Yeah this is a pretty fun club, came here last year. For Halloween and....yeah. After a certain part of the night everything gets pleasantly blurry."

    A bark of a laugh, strange from the women that was a cat. "I'm bet tin' that its just gonna be us for the night. Sexy bitches tend to be all intimidating."

    The sight of a Mein in action draws her eyes quickly. Ah, but it is the Spring Queen, not someone she has pissed off. Well, not yet. She "Lady of Shadow" theme was kind o spooky on the Spring Darkling. Ingrid got grin and nod from Circe.

    She would get no compliments for her entire though. Circe had no way of telling what was seen by these mere mortals. Complimenting on that which was hidden to mundane eyes could get some weird looks. Circe made a mental note to compliment Ingrid on doing that. A nice way to screw with fellow 'lings.

    Circe chuckled, "Thank you. I'm sure the dress maker would love the compliment. You pull of Harley very well I would say," and a classic Harley too. None of this new punkier version. So what was Circe again? She hadn't bought the ears so, "She's the queen of Gotham's crime right? Then this lady greets you," Circe actually made a show of curtsying to Aurora. She recovered in grinned over at Ingrid, "Indeed. Purple is a lovely color for you. Especially with that ensemble."

    The elven princess laughed as the woman in the catsuit kept going with that theme. "Oh, a pleasure to meet you miss Kyle. If that is how the night is to go, then," Circe's grin widened, "Tonight you can call me Zelda."

    "Well beauty does tend to muddle brains. It is really fun watching guys and gals stumble into tables or walls from gawking,"
    Circe held up a hand in front of her face and tried to imitate a noble woman's laugh. Tried. She coughed, "Ugh. Well, royal laughs are unattractive anyway."
