    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 April in Sacramento. The kine are filing taxes or spending their refunds. The balance of day and night has shifted in the kindred’s favor. The Nox nightclub's upstairs section fills with lively individuals celebrating love, life, and joyous events. Their exuberance is spread to all they encounter, 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 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.
    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 sepulcher. Tonight, the curtain ties are black velvet. By the stairs and elevator there is a painting of a martyr. On another wall was a picture of men on a raft. Both pictures had a soft warm light that highlighted the oil paintings.

    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

    This is a formal court. Doors will be shut by April 16th. After that, entries will need to contact the Keeper.

    Mable opened the doors to court. Tonight she had on a dark blue gown and her hair swept into an up-do.

    She was ready for the influx of beasts.

    Goes by Jack.

    Educated, scholarly, lawyer, scientist.
    Jack's outward demeanor and tone are a baseline of respectful and calculated.

    He actively debates, persuades, negotiates and even at time tries to intimidate, as core skills of any lawyer worth his salt.

    Jacque made his way into court, dressed up proper for the quarterly occasion. His cuffs were accented by a pair of cabochon amethysts. His first encounter was with the Keeper, as was tradition by this point. Her blood was thick, and the beast within was strong. "Keeper Wood," he nodded. "That dress is a rather nice shade of blue." His neck tensed, wrestling with the coward's demand to flee.

    His eyes wandered, looking for other officials or members of import to address timely. "Any premonitions of what this evening might have in store for us?" He smiled in tandem with the small-talk. There was a deadline approaching soon, and it weighed on the Lord's mind.

    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, a monochromatic silhouette, hair cut short for the night, with her bangs a harsh line. Her lips are as black as the void dark of her eye sockets, and she's In a dress of black with tulle and lace. A nice thick ribbon for her waist, though a sliver of her midriff is bare, and if you get close enough, you might spy a sliver moon, blood red betwixt her breasts.

    Her Ghoul is a step behind her elbow, waiting now for that moment when her Lady would advance.

    Alice fights against the Wraith under her skin, sinking into her bones. A fearful riot bubbling up in her blood. She grits her teeth, fighting back fangs as the beats the beast back into the ocean.

    She advances.

    "Good evening." unknowing of who was here, only that at least someone was.

    "Herald Jack, you look so yummy." Mable smiles sweetly. He does look good enough to eat. "Even if I knew what was going to happen, I wouldn't spoil the fun." She teases.

    "Good evening, Seneschal. That dress is to die for. It looks magnificent on you." Mable greets Alice.

    After a moment to steel himself against the rush of rage at the Beasts inside, Dirt Nap enters wearing a formal tuxedo, which very much resembles his outfit from previous formal courts. The hydrangeas boutonničre on his lapel, at least, is fresh.


    "Evening, Ma'am, Keeper Wood." Dirt Nap says softly, just a faint hint as usual of a drawl colors his quiet voice.


    "Evening, Ma'am, Senaschal Hart." He says.


    "Evening, Herald Jack."

    Formals were more than a head count and the continuation of the Requiem.

    Deadened as their emotions may have been, most Kindred, like the Kine, were not beyond the joy of dressing oneself. It was something special and, in its own way, a special moment to cherish. Thus, despite the knowledge that the press of Beasts would do to her own, Lenora had been looking forward to the night.

    Descending the staircase, Lenora had opted for a more 'fun' look, opting for a lilac cocktail dress that was bereft of her usual modesty without being overly revealing. She paired the look only with a golden leaf bracelet and two earrings of a similar design, if only to complement the color of her heels.

    Feeling the Press of Beasts, Lenora remained idle for a moment at the stairway's end. Silently she pushed the screaming Beast back to the cage from which it had come, rolling her shoulders lightly as she took the time to compose herself. It was easy to do so now, though. Lenora had expected many Beasts to rear their heads, but the only one which had prompted any terror - or any reaction at all - was Mable.

    Alice and Jack remained cloaked as mercifully as ever... as did dear Dirt Nap, showcasing his newest gift yet again.

    Finally, Lenora stepped forward moving to the growing gathering around the Keeper, to whom she granted a slight bow of the head before offering the Herald the same courtesy. Alice, of course, received a slightly deeper one with respect to her position as the Prince's second and her attentive ghoul recieved a slight, knowing smile.

    "Good evening," Lenora finally offers to the gathered group, "It is my hope the night finds each of you well."

    Alice when she knows just who is around, bows her head appropriately. "Good evening, Keeper, Herald, Priscus." her jerking, strings pulled movements continues as she raises her head. "And greetings to your as well Dirt Nap."


    "My night has been blessedly calm, and I do hope that this evening has found each of you as favourably?"

    "Good evening, Dirt Nap. That ummm button flower thing is wonderful. Is that a blackeyeed susan or a small sunflower? I love them both, but sunflowers are my favorite." Mable compliments her cousin.

    Lenora arrives and Mable feels her beast. A strong desire to hunt and kill Lenora waves through her. Beast is pushing hard yelling KILL KILL KILL in her head. Mable slowly takes a breath and tries to remember how to count in russian in her head. The effort works and beast returns behind bars for now.

    "Good evening, Priscus. That lilac lace dress is beautiful and springy." Mable gives the brief description for Alice's benefit.

    "Seneschal, my evening has been blessedly wonderful. Thank you for asking."

    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.

    Formal Courts.

    A chance for those who enjoyed it, to dress up and look their best. For her? It meant wearing a dress and putting a bit more into her look. Not her favorite thing, she much preferred comfort. But nothing she wore was valuable enough that she wouldn’t risk damaging it if she had to. So there was that.

    Digging out a dress she had worn before, but it had been some time, she slipped into it. Glancing down, because mirrors were useless, a few adjustments were made. Everything that should be covered, not that much was left to the imagination anyways with this dress. Almost every tattoo was on display.

    Nodding to Cain, they entered Court. Stopping to observe those in attendance, and for her Beast to roar with anger and fury. It wanted to end the weakness present, rip flesh from bodies.

    Not now though. And she nods to Alice Hart , Mable Wood and Jacque . Remaining where she was, far enough away to not be part of their conversation. Cain standing off to her side, watching.
