    The Nox Populi Nightclub.


    In the heart of downtown Sacramento there is a place of intrigue, excitement and entertainment. The modern flare of this venue is host to exclusive parties. The seduction of this establishment may take you away as you drink, dance and socialize. There are private services available upon request. The best DJ’s in town are in line to play a wide variety of music. Some of you may dine…as long as you have your VIP pass.

    It’s February in Sacramento. Love is in the air. The Nox nightclub's upstairs section fills with college students celebrating life and youth. Excitement and lust fill their hearts and minds. Most of all is their exuberance and joy that surrounds their young growing minds and bodies. They spread this joy to all, including those who dance the slow Danse of the eternal undead.

    The Kindred are discreetly met at the door and led to the back of the club where they may use the stairs or take the elevator to the exclusive meeting rooms. 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 also private areas, dark, and furnished with soft couches, as well as meeting rooms with conference tables and chairs, and an area with several televisions.
    The Court area is decorated with long black and red silken drapes cascading from floor to ceiling. The tiebacks were in a festive pink, white and red. 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.

    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.
    It is expected that all Kindred will check in their weapons into the coatroom. Please be sure to do so unless you have permission to carry one.

    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!

    This is a great place to get Acknowledged

    Mable tugged on a few of the tie backs to make sure they were secure before opening the door.

    She was wearing a simple suit in gray. She waited for arrivals with a smile on her face.

    Now and then, Lenora liked to mix it up.

    She had long established her love and preference for conservative dress, but tonight she chose to change things a bit. Try something she hadn't done in some time.

    Thus, ending her descent, the markedly different style of the Priscus was apparent. She wore a red plaid print dress paired with black heeled ankle boots. Her make-up, normally understated, was more stark as she possessed deep smoky eyes and bore a deep shade of burgundy on her lips. Her short stilletto nails boasted the same shade. Beyond a pair of gold hoop earrings, she bore no other jewelry.

    Beholding the form of Mable Wood, Lenora slightly averted her gaze, observing the decor as her will engaged in an internal battle with her Beast. It's whimpering terror was pushed deep and ignored. Only when the thing had been locked back in it's cage did Lenora return her eyes to the Savage. Then the usual cordial expression spread across her features, speaking of the Ventrue's quiet confidence.

    Approaching, Lenora would come to a stop within Mable's environs and dip her head, as etiquette demanded as such. The gesture afforded to the Gangrel's status done, Lenora raised her head.

    "Good evening, Keeper Wood," she said, "The remainder of your January was well I trust?"

    Jennifer strode into Court, holding herself straight with poise. She glances about the Elysium, taking a moment to look over the artwork. She did appreciate artwork more than before. The Lady Micha had been a musician, and impressed a bit of culture on the younger Kindred. The Nosferatu wore a green and black dress with tulle. She wore a green silk wrap pinned over her neck.

    Seeing Ms Black and Keeper Wood, the brunette walked towards them.
    "Good evening, Keeper Wood, Madame Black. I trust you have been well since we spoke."

    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.

    Court. Yet again.

    And she felt like wearing color. Well, not color color. But white. Which was still not something she was used to wearing, but, making an effort.

    The dress was flowing, and short enough to show off some of her leg tattoos, but not all. Spaghetti straps exposed a lot of her arm ink, as well as some on her back.

    Leaving her office, she walks in and stops. Dark eyes observe the room as her Beast snarls in rage. Such weakness. Such easy targets. Rend. Tear.

    But not tonight.

    A nod was given to Mable. Lenora gets a nod as well. The new Haunt was watched, she was still not sure about her. Polite, yes. But that was really all that she knew. Except that she appeared to enjoy dressing up.

    So she remains in her spot, watching, observing. Deciding when to walk over and inject herself into the conversation. But Cain? Where was the Hell Hound? Oh, no worries there, he was present, just not visible at the moment.

    Wait, was that…pink?

    Mable felt the weaker beast enter. Her own wanted to blood...demanded blood. Mable focused until she had beast under control. She gave a nod to Lenora. "Good evening, Priscus Black. That dress is fantastic. I love plaid and you wear it well."

    "My January was wonderful, thank you. How are things going for you?"

    Jennifer entered, "Good evening Miss Hazelton, I love that green on you. How are you settling in?"

    Mable felt Ale before she saw her. She looked up and gave a nod of her head and a curtsy to the Prince. Hopefully the small flashes of color tiebacks would be acceptable. It was Mable's way of trying to keep court feeling fresh.

    Lyssa Wolfe. Ghoul

    Curse

    Past her Albinism, Alice is naught but a doll, beautiful in her impossible perfection. Taking on a inescapable sheen of artifice, both movements and manner seem, hollow and fake. She's nothing but a marionette, limbs jerking and twisting as if pulled by invisible strings.

    Marring her unnatural beauty are her eyes, or the lack of them, vacant pits of visceral horror.

    Alice comes, not from the stairs, but from the hall adjacent. Already at work settling into her office, reclaiming old territory and reshaping it to her wants. Before she graces the Elysium proper, she steels herself against the rage and fear of the Wraith under the ocean beneath her bones. Grinding teeth down, in an effort not to flash fang.

    When she steps upon Court's stage, she curtsies to Alessandra , dipping down allowing the purple dress Lyssa chose to flutter around her. As she rights herself she offers a stuttering strings pulled nod towards Mable Wood , Lyssa had spoken of how the Keeper has kept Court. The Haunt is herself, the ribbon and sunglasses are absent from her person, while her ghoul stands behind her.

    How would tonight go she wondered...

    And so two became three as Lenora and the good Keeper were approached by the Lady Notary.

    "And to you, Madame Hazelton," she says, responding to the serpent voiced Nosferatu, "I have been well. Nonetheless, your arrival, like your elegance, is most welcome this night."

    Then came the Big Bad of Sacramento herself: Prince Alessandra. Even if her potent beast was not a factor, the reality was that the Savage easily drew eyes. Stifling her internal terror as she beheld Her Majesty, Lenora's dipped into a deep bow, offering the woman the respect her position and accomplishments demanded. Her eyes lingered on the sovereign for a few moments still until Mable's words pulled her attention back to her immediate environs.

    "Your compliments are most appreciated, Keeper Wood,"
    Lenora says, "The look is... unfamiliar territory, although I dabbled in this fashion briefly during my long tenure beneath the Baroness. And my nights are... beginning to be quite fruitful, thank you."

    The statement was a true one. Twist had finally set things in motion to grant an audience to discuss Lenora's consideration for the First Estate. If it weren't for many decades of well-practiced patience and prudence, Lenora would have been more overtly eager. Maybe even impatient. Such realizations made the prudent Lord thankful for her long education. Impatience made for a poor Invictus and it was best to have the bad habit ebbed out of her over time.

    Finally, there came Alice. At once Jennifer's cousin and Mable's covenant mate. Newly named Seneschal and occupying two factions without strong leadership, at least as far as Lenora could tell anyway. Patience, it seemed, was gone. She did not come to the Formal, but it seemed unlike the Haunt to miss such an event. The Crone itself seemed to lack a leader following Thomas' departure.

    To the Blind Doll, Lenora offered a bow, though not as deep as the one offered to the Prince. Blind as she may be, their were others that whispered in the Seneschal's ears. Lenora could not afford to fault in her etiquette as a result. Station demanded appropriate respects regardless of one's impairments.

    "I am glad that you have been well, Madame Keeper. Thank you." She smoothed the tulle of her dress. It was more modern, something that she had purchased for herself when she knew that she was returning to Sacramento.

    "Yes, you are right Madame - the plaid is marvelous." She turns to Madame Keeper. "I am settling well, thank you for asking."

    Jennifer bent herself down into a respectful full bow to the Prince as she joined the group.
    "Good evening, Your Excellency. I hope that you are well." She remains bowed until the Prince acknowledges her and gives a bow, but less deep, to the Seneschal.

    "Madame Seneschal, how are you this evening? "

    "Marvelous, Madame Black. I am glad that you are seeing progress in your endeavors."

    Edward had to get out. He'd been pouring through textbooks, whitepapers, and source code for well over a week. He could feel his edge slipping, a night off that served as a reminder for why he was working himself was just what the doctor ordered.

    Plus, it was a great chance to show off his new shoes. Otherwise, he wore the same outfit as last time, cuff links and all. It felt good; it felt familiar. Even the Beasts, whose presence his own found so accursed, had started to lose their edge. The only new face projected no such appearance, Edward spares them a glance before giving Alessandra the deep bow she deserves; then Alice the modest bow she deserves.


    The group was a touch large for his comfort, but it was early enough that others might still filter in. Edward would wait, making his way to a part of Court he had not yet inspected. He could always join in later.
