(Kingmaker) The Danse Macabre

    The Citizen Hotel was a fine example of Sacramento's historic luxuries. Covered in the finest of old world decor and beautiful red carpets, the space had been adopted for the night's festivities by the pharmaceutical company, Cheiron, that was running the event. A high-fashion couture charity ball hosted by luminaries from Gucci, as the Kindred ladies pulled up in a fine limousine, they found themselves immediately welcomed by staff dressed in dapper black suits with top hats, all so very willing to offer them a hand out of their vehicle and welcome them.

    After all, they were the creme de la creme.

    Beyond the red carpet that led up to the front doors of the convention space that had been set up for the evening's ball and fashion show, the Kindred could easily hear the Sacramento Philharmonic Orchestra playing a quiet take of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto. With plenty of security to ensure there were no paparazzi getting access to the people at this place, the various stars, politicians and luminaries who had found their way to this place had no problem stepping outside for a smoke, a chat, a backroom deal.

    Rebecca Simmons had donated the money for the special table, and so they had a personal concierge assigned that attended them. A perky young brunette woman with a fancy updo who was dressed in a professional black dress, Anna Cunningham looked the part of staff who had been selected to help the special people who had put forward a great deal of money to make this possible. She had checked in with Simmons beforehand for their arrival time and offered to personally see to it that they had everything that they needed.

    The red carpet lay before them. It was time to take their steps into the halls of California's political powerhouses.

    Matrixchild, go ahead and narrate what Rebecca would have told Anna, and I'll play off it. She's a helpful NPC since you donated so much cash to this event.

    Twist stepped out of the limo with care to insure her ensemble did not get snared on anything. Stepping clear of the vehicle to allow the others to join her, a small smile toyed with her lips.

    She was not a political mover and shaker. She lacked the finesse in language and in thought process. But this ... this was fashion and music and show. And by the Goddess, that was a world she was at ease in.

    And then of course there was the power aspect. The Invictus aspect. She was highly interested in seeing how well she and her fellow Invictus ruled this evening.

    Rebecca wanted an audience with the Senator, she knew that much, so she made sure to make a sizable donation. When she did she told Anna, the representative on the phone, that she greatly looked forward to meeting the Senator and hoped that together, her and her associates could keep her in office for many years to come.

    She formed her usual mask of friendliness and politeness over her face, forced vitae underneath her skin, and got herself dressed in an elegant white dress that belonged at a gala. With herself prepared she made her way to the event.

    First thing you will notice about Ale is the abundance of her tattoos. They go from her face all the way to her feet, and not much is left bare. The second thing? Her strong Italian accent.

    Gala. A fancy party with Kine the Savage could care less about. Though this was for the Invictus, and she would do her best to fit in.

    But it meant she needed to find a dress that would allow her to fit in on some level. She would already stand out with her tattoos, she refused to hide them for these people. But she needed a dress, which meant shopping, which sucked. She hated shopping and spending money on dresses. But she did, and she found something that should be passable. If she was lucky.

    A long black dress was picked, because black was classic. And everyone usually went with black, plus, it was a safe color for her. But she went a bit fancy. The dress was made almost entirely out of a gauzy material, see though in some places, with a single sleeve of sequence. It hugged her curves and wasn’t half bad. She piled her long hair in a French twist with bits left hanging down to frame her face and trail her back. Red lips were the only hint of color on her face.

    Her pale skin was flush with life, warm to the touch and a dead heart that beat once again.

    Stepping out of the rented car, she put on her best smile.

    Arriving via the limo, Vivian arrived stepped out to the gala in a gown suitable for the evening. She was sure it would get some questions, and she'd be more than happy to answer. Fitted black lace gloves were worn to match her provocative dress.

    The Daeva was on the fence about politics. She watched enough late night news to at least be in the know of what was going on in the city, country and the world. The Daeva had red hair tonight, which seemingly complimented her look. She smiled at the other ladies as they were escorted by personal concierge. Vivian was blushed and ready to take on the Gala and whatever may lay ahead.

    My apologies, I didn't get the original tag for some reason.

    The press of people around her attending the Gala did little to soothe the anger of her Beast with her fellow Invictus around her. But she resisted the urges it called forth,

    Instead she turned to them with a smile, "Let me be the first to say that I can already see heads turning." And it was a true statement, already those around them were taking notice of the 4 women.

    "Are there any last minute details we should be aware of before we proceed?"

    To say she felt out of place would be an understatement.

    Thankfully, the Invictus was here in full, and there was strength in that.

    She first see’s Twist, in an outfit that can only be described as mind blowing. That was sure to turn more than a few heads. Not that she was minding the view herself.

    Rebecca looked regal in her dress, and it fit the Lord quite well.

    Vivian? Well, she looked stunning as well, in a dress only she could pull off.

    Her Beast stirred in anger of the weaker Beasts in Rebecca, but growled in challenge to Vivian’s. But there wouldn’t be any blood shed tonight, not only would it be poor form, but Kine. The whole masquerade thing.

    The smile was returned to Twist, “With three stunning women, I wouldn’t expect any less.” She replies.
