(2009)Informal Court

[Mable Wood]

Mable enters court wearing a simple black dress and black sandals. The front of the dress is a pentagram design. She has a barrette in her hair that has black raven feathers. Her earrings are moon shaped. Her anklet is a silvery braided material, There to give her strength and confidence.

She stands halfway down the stairs and surveys the room, nodding to people and curtsying to the Prince if she looks up. Her beast is roaring in her mind to rend and tear everyone and everything to shreds. She smiles briefly at the memory of the room she ripped apart and the scars she gave that idiot who tried to control her. She then pulled beast back and demanded it to sit stay. Finally she descended the rest of the stairs.

She again curtsy to the Prince and gives deep nods of respect to the other court officials. She quietly heads over towards Jack and Dirt Nap. "Good evening, Gentlemen. Sorry to interrupted. Mr. Nap, I was not here last court... Who is the new individual speaking with the Prince?" She asks quietly.

[JC Smith]

JC did his best not to fidget like several parts of him wanted to as he continued his conversation with one of hte deadliest predators here. Tense...relax...tense...relax

[Quinn Durant]

Quinn entered Elysium wearing a pleated metallic jacquard fit and flare mini dress . She wore a pair of updated t-strap flats with a woven pointy toe upper and cutout sides with a playful patent shine. For jewelry she wore a simple silver charm bracelet with various mini charms and crystals that caught the light when she moved. Her medium length black hair was soft, natural and curly around her shoulders and fell just above her chest.

She closed her eyes momentarily before she descended the stairs down into the main room, steeling her resolve to spend an evening in the company of her fellow Kindred. When she got far enough down to see all those gathered she felt fear and anger touch her. The beast letting its discomfort be known as it screamed in its fleshy prison. Outwardly Quinn stiffened just for a moment. Her knuckled going white on the banister as she completed her descent into court.

Her gaze moved around a bit, and she moved her arms from being loose at her sides, to behind her back, her index and thumb of her right hand encircling her left wrist. She was short in stature for modern standards. Standing at a mere five foot. She didn't use heels either for an advantage. Quinn owned her height. Her shoulders squared her posture would make a grandmother proud. She strayed near the edge of the room, and waited to be acknowledged and/or approached. She did not dare interrupt her fellow Kindred's close conversations, or those being spoken too directly by what she assumed was the Prince.

[Jacque]

New faces, new beasts. Steel eyes glinted from each arrival with nods as any greetings occurred. His focus was broken at the approach of Dirt Nap, but nevertheless a smile was offered to indicate a welcome, "Good evening Mr Nap."

A short moment later, Mable's approach was also welcomed similarly. A nod, "No interruption at all Ms Wood," he offered as he allowed Dirt Nap to answer her question.

[Jennifer Hazelton]

The Nosferatu gave the Seneschal and her fellow clan sister a deep nod of respect. She was very glad to see her.

Jennifer spotted someone that did not normally attend these gatherings. Intrigued, she started to walk towards Jacque, Mable Wood and Dirt Nap.
Yet the Nosferatu noticed another newcomer before reaching the other three Kindred. The Lady looked at the newcomer metallic mini dress for a moment. Jennifer crossed the room towards the newest Kindred with confidence. She paused a respectful speaking distance from the newcomer.

"Good evening." The Lady stated to the newcomer in the metallic dress. That voice, her Curse, slithered out like a snake slithering over dead, decaying leaves. It continued to slither through the introduction.
"I am Lady Notary Jennifer Hazelton, Priscus of the Nosferatu. Who may you be?"

Deep brown eyes watched the newcomer with keen interest.

[Quinn Durant]

Quinn turned to Jennifer Hazelton and felt nothing other than the normal discomfort in dealing with clan Nosferatu. She ventured a small smile to the other woman and spoke with her.

"Good evening, Most Gracious Lady Notary Hazelton, Priscus of Clan Nosferatu." Quinn replied, using Invictus titles as well as her official capacity as Priscus. "I am Quinn Durant, of Clan Mekhet, a dragon of the Ordo Dracul. I have come straight to present myself immediately to the Court and its Kindred."

Quinn glanced at Jacque and nodded politely to him, and then those with him. Not wishing to be rude, but the main of her attention was on the Lady before her. Quinn's shoulders lowered a touch as she spoke with someone recognized with a title at Court. Perfectly submissive and gentle in her body language, as was the pleasant and slightly deeper timbre of her voice.

[Alice Hart]

The Ghoul at Alice's elbow uses deft fingers to press upon her Lady's arm and back at certain points to indicate who and what they were doing in regards to the Blind Doll.

She nods where appropriate, and offers Hazelton a deeper half bow, she is her Priscus after all, but not one as deep as she would offer the Archon or Prince.

A new beast, weak a mewling appears, bold words declaring herself, but no inappropriately. Alice motions Lyssa to ready the binders. After all Quillz, the only other Shadow and default Priscus of the Mekhet is in attendance, but with his track record regarding his own entry into the Domain, the duty to Acknowledge the welp may as well fall to Alice.

[Horatio Quilz]

Horatio gives a nod to Dirt Nap, and gives appropriate nods or bows to the members of court who came in.
He sees the new face and is about to confront her when he sees Lady Notary Hazelton is already on the scene.
He shrugs and decides to join in anyways.
"Beg pardon Lady Notary Hazelton. Good evening, I am Horatio Quilz Mekhet Priscus by default, pleasure."
He greets at a natural pause in the conversation. He gives a bow to Lady Hazelton before turning his attention back to the newcomer.
He is not sure if he should take the lead on this or not, but decides to do as Seneschal Hart has done with the himself and the other newcomers he has witnessed.
"Ah a fellow Dragon, my title in the order is Unchained Stalwart Supplicant of the Dedicated Hunger. What brings you to the domain Miss Durant?"

[Mable Wood]

Mable sees the Prince motion her over. She looks at Dirt Nap and Jack. "Oh, it looks like I may find out for myself." She gives an apologetic smile to them both. Each knows you don't ignore the Prince calling to you.

[Dirt Nap]

"Well Ma'am," Dirt Nap answers Mable as she prepares to leave in answer to the summons from the Prince. "I believe he's our newest cousin to arrive. Goes by' J.C.'." Dirt Nap nods as Mable leaves, to Mable first and also to Jack at recognizing his mannerly and Courtly ways.


He notices the arrival of the new--to him--person at Court, restraining the angry Beast within and watching. Quinn Durant looked like someone who would have a reason for not wearing heels. Possibly a sign of practicality over vanity, which seems unusual for someone with good looks. He waits and listins to hear what she has to say for herself.


Lady Notary Hazelton heads on over towards the new lady. Sounds like she doesn't know her either.


Seneschal Hart looks like she's read to acknowledge her, same as she did J.C.


Then Dirt Nap sees his superior, Horatio join in, and hears him identify the newcomer as a fellow Dragon. Now that's interesting.


Dirt Nap turns to Jack, nodding again, sure that he's heard the same. "Interesting night." He comments. Maybe Jack's glad he came.
