    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.

    The Nox Populi is an upscale experience that will take Sacramento nightlife to a whole new level.


    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.

    However 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 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 brown silken drapes cascading from floor to ceiling. Draped in elegant bunches and gathered into valances across door frames and between supporting pillars; the lighting is intentionally low, but without the pulse of the 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 decorated 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 furniture setting is familiar now: a set of elegant chairs, all dark wood and red leather, arranged in a circle. The baroque lighting leaves the corners of the Elysium commons in deep shadow.

    With the permanent fixture that the chess table had become, there was yet another new item. A Steinway concert piano, its cover in an upright position, revealing stunning inner strings strings. The lid was closed on the keyboard, the bench not with it.

    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

    Eternal Court is not a singular event. Always open and in constant motion, a compression of the comings and goings of Kindred within Elysium throughout the nights. As such, Eternal Court is also never truly empty; this can include 'faceless masses' of Kindred beneath notice, ghouls, herd members, devotees, or even officials in their offices.

    JC took a breath before descending the stairs, because that sometimes helped. Maybe it was it was a way to center and relax. It could be that breathing wasn't needed by the beast and so it through off those instincts for a few seconds. Either way, he needed to use those precious seconds before he needed to breath again.

    The Gangrel entered court and felt that sense of being thrown off expand to more thinking parts. He had thought he would be coming in late to deluge of taint. However, the room held only a spurting of killable unimportant insects Kindred or ghouls that he didn't know or didn't really interact with or came and left quickly.

    In a way it was nice not to have to confront the strong urge to attack. At the same time, had something happened that no one had arrived yet?

    Another night, another social visit. Edward believed it was appropriate to show his face with some regularity. It was, therefore, slightly annoying how sparse the room was. Showing something was a minimum two-party affair, after all, and the few hangers-on hardly counted.

    It wasn't until Edward had actually stepped into the room that the Beast informed him of his mistake, his eyes flashing to JC. Well, that's two. He walked over to the man, the Beast nipping at Edward's kneels, demanding he runs, demanding he feast now.

    "Good evening, Mr. Smith." Edward gave a short bow. "I do not believe we have made formal acquaintance." He offered a hand to shake. "If I am not an undue intrusion upon your night, I hope to ask you a question, and perhaps pass the time discussing trivial things."

    JC worked not to snarl at Edward as he approached.

    “Mr. Heinrich, good evening to you.” Had they not actually spoken till now? It felt like they had to have at some point but when JC tried to search his memories all that came up where the opinions of the Ventrue he’d slighted and Jennifer’s ideas on the Daeva’s motives. “Good to talk with you,” he gave a small smile as he accepted Edward’s hand. The gangrel's grip flexed hard at first and then relaxed. “How are you doing this evening?” And would you be so kind as to let me kill you before you try any stupid plan.

    “No intrusion at all,” except for his existence as a predator but JC ignored that for now “What’s your question?”

    Quinn descended the staircase into Elysium with a sense of clarity and purpose this evening. The recent shocks that had shook her world up like a snow globe had settled down, and she was back to a more neutral state that was more comfortable than being in ones feelings. It was time to socialize with the undying masses of Sacramento. There had been a new face last time, but looking over the court tonight it was a small group.

    Quinn was dressed in a pale cream dress that was suitable in cut and length for spring. Her hair pulled up in a classic bun with just a few tendrils of hair to frame her face. Her eye make up was dramatic for evening while she kept her usual gloss on her lips. She wore a pair of hoop earrings with a pearl featured. Spring had sprung. Her neutral colored heels made a staccato beat over the floors as she moved into court proper.

    The beast hissed from its corner shifting with rage at the other predators just milling around. Like ducks on a pond waiting to be torn to shreds.After that rather tense moment passed she moved over to JC Smith and Mr. Heinrich.

    "Good evening, gentlemen." She said in slightly softer tones. She was definitely feeling the empty here at court.

    Jennifer strode in after an approperiate amount of time had passed. The populace should be properly assembled... The Nosferatu wore a dress in the Florentine Code for her Clan - a formal, high necked, floor length gown. A silk dupioni scarf in black was gracefully draped over the left side of her neck, pinned with a spider pin of precious gemstones of brown and green. Her long brown hair was ironed stick straight, a few tendrils in front of her face and the rest brushed into a half - up hairstyle. She held a small clutch.

    She nodded to Priscus Durant, the appropriate measure of respect for a fellow Priscus. She let her eyes linger a moment on Edward Heinrich, before dark eyes move on to regard JC.

    She had done something different, tonight. She had composed herself that relayed greater bearing and stature...

    Edward's grip was smooth and practiced, he did not seem to react to JC's erratic grip.

    "The nights have treated me with kindness, and the pattern endures this evening; thank you for asking, Mr. Smith. And, what of yourself? How does this evening find you?"

    Edward's question could wait until pleasantries were concluded, which according to the click of approaching heels behind him, might be a moment longer than expected.

    Edward was all smiles when he turned to Quinn mid approach and gave a slight bow -- swallowing back the Beast once more. "And a good evening to you, Priscus Durant. I must say, you are especially stunning tonight." 'Especially' wasn't just politeness, her beauty was the first thing he noticed months ago when they met.

    Jennifer's entrance was noted, and when her gazed landed upon him, Edward nodded. His own eyes lingering for a moment, trying to detect some reason for his feeling of change, did something happen?

    Some more active domain residents arrived. Still not many compared to some courts but then this wasn’t a required one. As he gave a bow to Quinn, he briefly wondered if her own wayward ward would appear.

    “Good evening, Priscus Durant.” Her outfit might seem beige at first but there seemed more to it. Like a pale pearl seated temptingly in an open clam shell. And said clam ready to clamp down and cut off the hand of who reached for it.

    “The evening’s going well,” he said to both partners in his conversation. And the fewer predators around the better it was for his mental health in all honesty. ”Mr. Heinrich was just about to ask me something.” He explained to Quinn before turning to listen to what the Daeva hadn’t yet asked.

    Side thread?


    Jennifer’s appearance didn’t go unnoticed. Though without the beast’s urgings it at least felt less dramatic. When it came to violence anyway. There seemed a stronger serpentine confidence to the Haunt tonight. Not just a slithering in the grass but emerging with blue-green silken hood up from a basket. He noticed the slight pause on Heinrich and JC gave a slight smile when their eyes met. He suspected he knew what she privately thought behind that black cobra’s gaze.

    He bowed.

    Quinn noted Lady Notary Hazelton, Priscus of Clan Nosferatu, with a deep nod of respect for a Kindred of Quality, as well as fellow Priscus. Though her Ladyship was unaware Quinn's esteem had raised for her. And its all thanks to Edwards memories. At least something positive came from reading his mind. She smiled slightly at Jennifer, gazing over her longer than usual. Lingering a bit, before turning to Edward with a warm smile from the compliment.

    "So charming, Mr. Heinrich. I hope you have been well since last we spoke?" She enquired gently to him, and pausing a moment to greet Mr. Smith.

    "Good evening, Mr. Smith. I trust you are well?" And at his statement that Mr. Heinrich was going to ask him a question, Quinn's attention perked a little more and she grinned slightly at Mr. Smith then.
    He totally baited that hook. Okay. You have my full attention.....

    Her gaze shifting expectantly to Mr. Heinrich again.

    Lady Hazelton responds to each Kindred as they respond to her, perfectly aligned with thier status and how she personally felt about them. Her dark eyes show that she has seen and accepts the shows of acknowledgement from Mr. Heinrich and Mr. Smith. Her eyes linger on Priscus Durant a moment, seeing the more personal acknowledgement. The way she often greeted Alice, and had Dirt Nap... Dark eyes tick over the nameless faces for a moment before she accepts that no, the Gangrel had not been quietly standing, unseen.

    She faces the Mekhet once more, giving a small smile, although it is tinged with a somber note. The Lady carefully keeps her countenance emotionless, but her smile is turned slightly downwards. She strides closer to the three.

    "Priscus Durant. It is good to see you. Mr. Smith, good evening. How does the evening find you?" Her voice slithers over the syllables like a snake over dying leaves. "Mr. Heinrich."
