    It's the perfect evening for those in-the-know to be out on the town. Experiencing the sights and being seen. At least, this seems to be the case for the people entering the art gala. From individuals to couples to small groups, everyone here is dressed to impress. Patrons mingle and sip on sparkling wine as the occasional server weaves between the gatherings and offers new glasses. Some, of course, have just come in with their own drinks - pretentiously named coffee drinks from local breweries and the like. Those without drinks in their hands busy themselves with cell phones to record what they see for plagiarism posterity on their social media accounts.

    The exhibits branch out from the unassuming entrance where only a plan wall is visible, opening up into a relatively open floor plan with art decorating the walls. Paintings from every type of painting and canvas are on display, along with large black-and-white photographs and even over-sized posters. There are three-dimensional exhibits arranged in the center of the square rooms, but there is plenty of room for foot traffic without bumping into other observers. Abstracts, busts, and statues are just some of the works on display. If everyone here really belongs to Mr. Page, he's come a long way from making YouTube videos. Though, at the entrance, the man is nowhere to be seen.

    The night of the Gala had come and as promised Mhairi came dressed in purple and white. Stilettos of purple with tasteful accessories of the same, and an ever so daring and sensual white suit

    Makeup heavy around the eyes, making Masked silvers pop. A light stain of purple-pink upon her lips to tie it all together.

    The Wisp enters the Gala, her arrival staggered from the others and begins to circle the room, eyes peeled for Page.

    Softly shimmering gold flakes catch the light whenever she moves, delicate gilded and diamond scales extenuate the luminescent sapphires that are her eyes. The ocean lives in Sera's eyes, perfectly cut sapphires, gleam in the light. Deeper shades always shifting like the tide. The scales trail up to her temples and forehead. Her hair reaches down her back, brushing the back of her calves, spun silver and gold. Perfectly placed streaks of sea green are seen throughout her hair. Very fine diamond dust falls loose from her hair when she moves, reflecting rainbows from the light. The scales on her hands are dulled by the simple fact that her hands are translucent. There was an iridescent scale like skin that pulled delicately up from her ears. The membrane shimmered and created three curly points.

    Treasured Nix

    Time for the art gala.

    And while Sera didn’t find these particularly interesting, it had been an important networking tool for her.

    Tonight it would hopefully help shed some light on what they had seen on that sign.

    Her original idea had been a suit, tailored to fit her perfectly but feminine enough to draw looks. But it hadn’t come together the way she wanted. So the outfit was scraped, and she went with a dress. A slip dress, made of coral silk that hugged her curves. On top of that she wore a leather jacket, mixing sexy and edgy perfectly. Her hedgespun necklace hung around her neck. Simple kitten heels were worn on her feet and she kept her makeup to a minimum. Opting for a lightly smoked eye and lipstick in a soft shade of pink. Her hair was gently curled and flowing around her shoulders as she entered the room.

    She knew she’d draw some eyes, that wasn’t a concern. It was finding Mhairi and John.

    The drink trays were graciously turned away, as her sapphires finally find the Wisp. And in quite the daring outfit! She didn’t know the Elemental had it in her!

    Walking over, offering smiles to those who glanced her way, “My my, I believe you’ve upped the bar for one of these events.” Purred the angelic voice, as her eyes studied those around them. Was Page among the crowd yet?

    The face he was wearing today
    , was an artist he'd met on the bus, somewhere along his journey. Garbed in the suit supplied by Mhairi, and the jacket that Sera loved, he could blend in easily. As to this Robert Page fellow was, he could not seem to locate him.

    The angelic voice of the Siren, much like the mythology, lured him to Sera. Hearing her compliments of Mhairi, he did indeed, agree. "You look great," he added. "You as well, Sera."

    The event isn't jam-packed with attendees, but Mhairi's eyes just see patrons and art on either end of the entrance. Of course, she'd only seen his picture on the internet, but there isn't a bald man to be seen. More than one man in attendance pauses to look back at her, though. Probably wishing she was looking for them.

    Likewise John, with even less to go on, can't make out anyone matching Page's description. But the night is still very young. Page may have simply not shown up yet.

    Sera doesn't see Page either. But she does catch a glimpse of something offputting; a girl slips straight through the middle of a conversation group on the right - the side with several poster-style paintings on the walls - and the tile floors behind her birthed several pink and yellow flowers before disappearing back into nothing.

    Additional Identifying Features:
    A tattoo of a jeweled wasp sits perched atop a thick and gnarled white "branch" that stretches several inches upwards from her left wrist, though the branch is clearly a scar.

    A tattoo of a frayed, torn, and dirty golden banner trails around her right wrist, with another long scar forming the "mounting" for the banner.

    On a whim, the Wasp had decided that it was time to get outside and stop mopey about all day, writing love poems about a woman who she'd probably never see again.

    For better! one part of her said. For worse, said the rest.

    Thankfully, one of the pieces of scratch paper she happened to be writing her poetry was a flyer advertising an art show, and if that wasn't some measure of fate, she didn't know what was, so she threw on a blue velvet suit, picked up her cane, and called a cab.

    An annoyingly long cab rider later (the driver refusing to put on some jazz, even when she dangled a twenty in his rear view mirror) and she was stepping into the Gallery, cane idly tapping by her blue and white oxfords. Almost immediately after stepping through the door, she felt a pang of regret hit her. Whatever this was, she wouldn't exactly call it 'art'. What, exactly, was so impressive about a rough clay replica of a painting that was hanging behind it?

    "Some people," she muttered, her antennae twitching in distaste as she stared balefully at what she thought was supposed to be a portrait of Dame Judy Dench.

    Mhairi's eyes don't spy, a frown slips onto her lips, which is wuickly replaced by the sight of Sera and John.

    "I think it's safe to say that we've all raised the bar."

    Eyes sweep the room, zeroing in on the antennae. A grin forms. "Well I see a..." Mhairi stops because Coco generally wants a, well she was, a friendly face, but she was as waspish as her mien. "Friend, I'll go fill her in, then maybe we can mingle...?" by which she means eavesdrop.

    Mhairi waits before springing the wasp to see if the Spring or Wibter had anything to say.

    Treasured Nix

    She turns as she hears and see’s John.

    “Evening, have to say, still loving that jacket!” she gushed to the Darkling.

    Sapphires then seem to focus on something else, a glimpse of something not right. Head tilts slightly to the side as she blinks a few times.

    Mhairi speaks and the Nix doesn’t really seem to hear her, her focus still on something else,

    “Uh, ok, that’s fine. I see something,” she pauses, lowering her voice, “different, our different.” She then looks back to the Wisp, a little more focused this time, “I want to go over there. John? Will you join me?” if Mhairi sees someone she knows, that’s fine. But the Treasured was focused on something else. Something that was making her hair stand on end.

    John's Mundane face smiled brightly, and blushed at Sera's attention. "I just happened to be at the right place at the right time, to find it."

    Seeing Sera's sudden change in disposition cast his grin away. He nodded once, "Of course." His eyes had taken on a new seriousness. In a low whisper, "Is something amiss?"

    Coco's contemplation of the strangely rendered composition was broken as she felt someone stepping uncomfortably close, her antennae twitching as the air currents changed.

    "Ex-squeeze me, bitch. Personal. Space. Kay, thanks," Coco fired off without even turning around. What kind of uncultured moron would try to interrupt someone staring at Dame Judy Dench's brushstrokes, for the Thorns' sake! However, when the person didn't move, Coco realized that there was only way she was going to get rid of this bore, and so she spun on her heel, the motion as graceful as the choreography of broadway, and turned the full force of her glare upon the unfortunate who had decided to annoy her.

    However, once Coco realized who, precisely, she was glaring at, her eyes widened and she exclaimed, "Oh! Mhairi! I didn't realize it was you! But what are you doing sneaking up on me? You realize it's not Halloween yet, don't you? "
