April 1, 2019. Prince Alessandra Antinori has summoned her subjects for Formal Court.
Spring has sprung, and an explosion of activity in the dance space above follows as people come out with the warmth of Northern California's April. Meanwhile, shortening nights remind the Kindred of their place in the world; as the sun is away, the vampires will play, but the Daystar takes its place longer and longer these nights...
When the Kindred arrive they are discreetly met and led to the back of the club. The space downstairs is decorated in dark, rich woods and expensive furniture. There's a coat room that will also hold one's 'unmentionables'; namely, weapons, at the foot of the stairs. There are dark areas and areas furnished with soft couches, as well as meeting rooms with conference tables and chairs, and an area with several televisions.
In the middle, a space had been left open, the usual furniture removed from that space and placed aside. [COLOR=#BCBCBC]The Court area is decorated with long black and red silken drapes cascading from floor to ceiling. Drapes hang in elegant bunches and gathered into valances across door frames and between supporting pillars; the lighting is intentionally low, and even with the gentle pulse of music from above, the place has the feel of a sepulchre.
Rumours abound, since the last Formal Court - who would the Prince select as her newest Keeper of Elysium? The Harpy had last whispered her support for Mable Wood, the embattled Priscus of Gangrel - would her whispers be proven right? Would there be some other challenger stepping forward to provide Alessandra Antinori the influence she had requested? Would the Prince follow the rules of her own game?
Tonight, dressed to impress as the Prince had commanded for a Court she herself was hosting, the Kindred would find out.
The common area circles the Court proper, and it becomes apparent that this is not a place used just for a single evening. Small symbols note areas for Kindred only that branch off of the Commons, which will be necessary once those Kine privileged enough to see behind the Masquerade filter in: ghouls, herd members, or even devotees.
Another evening; another Danse. For some it will their first, for some it shall be their last. After all, this is the Prince's Elysium, and subject to the Laws of the Domain.
Eternal Court is open once more...
Please remember that Predator's Taint is in effect and role-play is expected, or rolls will be asked for!
