Painting the Night

Feb 28th, 2019 07:01 PM

In the lower level of Smoke and Glass, there was a private room where the night would begin. When Alessandra and Rebecca Simmons arrived, they would be escorted by the Host to bring them to the room. Vivian had given the host a great description of the two, and, if either Ale or Rebecca should ask to find the Daeva, the way would be given.

Upon their arrival, the Host clicked a button on the outside of the door. She waited until a light turned on and then opened it, indicating to the man he was free to enter. There had been no noise coming through the door or walls before the door was opened. There were a few other lounge chairs along the side of one wall, the other side had a long conference room table with seating for twenty or so. It was dim and light for ambiance for now.

Off to the side, there was a four lounge chairs surrounding a round table in the center. Upon it were some shot glasses filled with liquor already. They were sitting in a bed of ice so they stayed quite cold. Vivian wore a little black party dress with off the shoulder sleeves, that weren't necessarily sleeves. Little black satin gloves that matched the satin of her dress affixed to her blushed body.

This was Rebecca's first time at Smoke and Glass and she could feel some excited racing down her spine. But it wasn't just the fun of trying out a new location that excited her, it was the prospect of having a fun evening out with Vivian and Ale. Since coming to Sacramento she had gotten close to the Seneschal and Prince, but the last time the two of them were together privately was in regards to her becoming Harpy. They had not yet had an opportunity to enjoy the evening together.

Going through her closet she picked out a lovely black dress with playful black frills. She loved it because it was both elegant and yet more fitting with the tone of the evening than some of her other dresses. Once dressed she formed a mask of enjoyment on her face, ran vitae under her skin, and made her way to the location. As soon as she approached the host it was clear that Vivian was expecting her, as she was immediately recognized and taken to what quickly appeared to be a sound proof room.

Once allowed inside she smiled, "Thank you so much for inviting me out. It's been so long since I've been able to have any fun." She then watched carefully as the door closed behind her and she offered the woman a respectful bow of her head. "As this gathering was your idea Madam Seneschal York, I'll ask before assuming. Would you like to continue to using titles for the evening, or something less formal?" Vivian knew Rebecca well enough to know she was very comfortable with being friendly and using titles, but this night was an exception to their norm, so she would follow Vivian's lead.

Dress for fun and a great time?

Huh. Well, that could mean a variety of things. But she decides to go with something she might wear to a club. Something that looked good on her. Seemed a safe bet.

The white dress was skin tight and if it was any shorter, she’d have a problem. But it hugged her curves perfectly and showed up quite a bit of her ink. Her long hair was down with a slight curl to it, her lips blood red, and her skin had a warm, healthy glow to it. Her makeup kit was in her purse, just in case. Nude heels completed her look, which she was told made her legs look longer. But she had no clue if it was true or not.

Parking her car, she walks in, and was pleased to see she was attended to quickly. Seemed Vivian had trained her staff well.

Walking into the room, her Beast surges forward, teeth bared, wanting the blood of the weaker Beast in Rebecca. And it snarled in challenge to Vivian’s, wanting to show it was the stronger one here.

But the Savage smiles, “Good evening ladies.” Greets the Italian, “I was a little surprised by the text.” She says with a smirk.

Vivian was happy for the arrival of the two women. "Good evening ladies!" Her Beast uncertain of wanting to pounce Alessandra or team up and dive into Rebecca, but the brisk walk toward them shook off her frustrations. "You both look in fine, fun form tonight!" Looking up and down at the two of them. They were definitely ready for an adventure.

Her hand waved in the air when the Ventrue asked. "Tut tut!" She said with delight. "No titles, no formalities, just first names. If either of you have different names to use in public, state it now."

Turning, she grabbed two glasses of champagne. "A toast to us, and a fortuitous evening!"

"I have drinks laid out on the table, and a few shots. One of them is a redheaded slut. I can order down any drink you'd like, and the wine you mentioned the other day Rebecca." Vivian laughed heartily.

"I thought we could start here. However, if we'd like to venture upstairs and mingle with them, we can. If we need to change venues, we can do that as well. The night is ours!" The Deava was spirited as she spoke and grinned as she raised her glass.

Rebecca was in the lion's den with two very powerful lionesses. Her Catalyst was afraid and desired nothing more than to flee and never return. But Rebecca could not allow herself to move. This was a chance to spend quality time with Vivian and Ale and she wouldn't give into her baser instincts and miss the chance. With a smile she greeted the Prince. "Your Majesty, I'm so glad you could come out. Both of you look absolutely stunning."

Then Vivian made her request for first names and Rebecca smiled. "How can I say no to you Vivian, especially when we're here to have a fun time." Rebecca then took one of the shots, "To a fortuitous evening! I may ask for that glass later on, though I think a shot will do for now."

"I kind of like remaining here for the moment if you ladies don't mind. It's been so long since the three of us were able to sit and talk." And something Rebecca had looked forward to.

A look amusement, “Fine, fun form? Think that’s the first time I’ve heard that one.” She says with a soft chuckle.

“I usually go by Sophia.” No titles or formalities? That would take getting used to, but could be fun.

Taking one of the glasses, she raises it in a toast. “Speaking of this evening, anyone care to tell me what’s going on?” she wasn’t usually invited out like this, and the suspicious side of her was kicking in. Which made her wish she had brought Cain. Though this was Vivian and Rebecca.

Smiling to Rebecca, “Thank you. Though I’m thinking I should have worn black as well.” She jokes.

“Sitting and talking sounds ok to me.”

Vivian looked quite astonished that the Ventrue wanted a shot over a drink first. "Well, now I didn't expect that at all."

"Of course we can sit and chat. We can do whatever we please tonight." She made her way to the small section of comfy chairs and motioned the rest to follow and sat down, crossing her legs to the side. The Daeva was sitting straight up though, very excited for the evening no matter what it brought.

The Daeva flitted her hand. "Rubbish Sophia! You look marvelous there's certainly nothing wrong with your outfit, in fact it's exactly the fun I was hoping for!"

"Well, after Rebecca and I had a discussion with Mr. Exhibitionist, we started talking about how we all needed to get out more. So hence why we're out!"

Waving her hand in the air right before downing the shot, she remembered something she'd been wanting to tell the Gangrel for a while. "Ohhhh before I forget Sophia. I'm not sure if you've spoken to Atticus at all since the New Years party. But my my he seemed to be quite quick to be at your beck and call with his jacket, or was it his shirt?" Vivian's smile turned Cheshire.

Of course Rebecca was not surprised to hear the Prince's desire to use the name Sophia. It was the public name Rebecca knew her as after all. She offered Vivian a chuckle. "Oh Vivian. You and your nicknames for people." She was bad, in the good way."It's just as Vivian said Sophia. I know you and I have been trying to get together for months, and when me and Vivian were talking we thought it'd be fun to get out and away from Court together."

"And she's right Sophia, you do look marvelous. I'm always jealous of both of your styles. It's so much more...what's the word...daring than my own. I love it," she said with a smile.

When Atticus was mentioned Rebecca raised an eyebrow and listened. She didn't know much about the man, but she might just learn something fascinating tonight.

Following the Daeva, the Savage sits, crossing her tattooed legs, not off to the side. Ale was more relaxed in the chair, leaning back.

“It’s the whole color thing, black is more comfortable.” White was, well, white. And a bitch to get blood out of.

An eyebrow raises, “Well, hopefully you had a more productive conversation with him than I did.” Inquisitors, internal eye roll. “I won’t turn down a chance to get away from the office and work. Been spending way too much time there anyway.” Being social was good.

“Atticus?” a shake of her head, “No I haven’t.” she takes a sip of the drink, and nearly choked on it as the rest of Vivians words were heard. Dark eyes widen, “Huh?” a look of surprise, “But uh, I don’t think I would say he was at my beck and call, just, uh, being nice?” Obviously, she wasn’t sure what to make of what Vivian was saying, maybe looked a bit flustered and uncomfortable?

Smiling to Rebecca, “Oh I agree. There’s been too much business and Court lately, time to relax.” She knew she needed it.

“Style? I’m afraid I have none of that, I just get lucky from time to time finding something I like. Which is why I usually stick with blacks and pants.” Dresses? Not so much.

"Rebecca, if I didn't have nicknames for people in private, I'd go bonkers! It's like stress relief." She laughed probably a little more than she should have. "I just have to make sure I don't use them to their faces."

She paused. "Who the hell am I kidding, if it slipped, I wouldn't care." Waving her hand for whatever happened happened.

Vivian took a sip of whatever was in the mix of glasses in front of her right as she chuckled. "Well, here's the thing. Now please bear with me. He's from your Family. Your family doesn't seem like one to suck up. So, him being very... helpful, I am pretty sure it wasn't just one of those 'be nice for the Prince, go above and beyond. I think he was being genuine." Her lips rolled into a grin. "Perhaps my mind just went into hopefulness, however, maybe there's a little something there. I could be wrong, gosh knows I'm not a matchmaker." She shook her head with a half chuckle.

"You know, the three of us get along so well. I really enjoy that we are all on the same page about many things." She smiled with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

"Sophia, I think you have great style, by the by. Style doesn't have to be the trend, it's knowing what looks good on you." Nodding in the direction of Rebecca. "Like your style, it fits you and suits you."
