    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.

    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.

    Adeline made a pit stop at the coat check to give up her hand bag at the entrance, nodding politely to the court attendents, before pivoting and heading down the steps.

    The lord was dressed in a nice black and white pencil plaid suit. The jacket was double breasted with black buttons left open, which revealed a simple black cashmere sweater. The sleeves were pushed up to make room for black leather ladies gloves that went up her entire arm. It had been quite cool still in Northern California and Adeline clung to the last gasps of winter before spring would eventually give way and her beloved layers would be no more.

    Her hair was flat ironed out to a mirror shine, and her makeup kept neutral but applied to help her normally pallid skin look more normal in the dim lighting, without the need to fully blush. This was the one place they could truly be themselves outright. She relished that small mercy that Elysia gave them all.

    She chatted here and there with a few of her clan in the cacophony of more reclusive Kindred.

    Jennifer was trailed by Liam as they approached the coat check. Jennifer turned over a long item wrapped in blue linen. Liam, a locked black box. The two descend into Elysium proper, the Ghoul pausing by the wall. Jennifer strode into the Elysium proper with the poise of a lady. She wore a dress in a mermaid cut, beaded over a light peach fabric. A matching silk dupioni scarf in peach was draped over a shoulder and portion of her neck, pinned discreetly with metal pins and one statement pin: an emerald and diamond spider broach.
    Jennifer wore two rings - one that she had bought after the forming of a very special relationship, the chocolate diamond LeVian ring. Another she has worn for over a year now, the ring she thinks of as her Nosferatu ring.

    Jennifer looks about. Not too many Kindred were present. No - only one Kindred of note deemed to be on time. Jennifer looks over towards Adeline and gives her a slight nod.

    Raúl makes a stop at the coat check as a mere formality. The man doesn't have anything to check at this point and the coat he's wearing is staying with him. He nods to the attendants before heading down into the Elysia commons. He's wearing a black leather blazer over a maroon shirt, the top few buttons left unbuttoned. The shirt is tucked into a pair of dark slacks and he wears a pair of comfortable looking dress shoes.

    He slows as he reaches the bottom of the stairs, taking in a small breath as he steels himself and his grip on the Beast within him. He knows this is going to be a tense night; a new city means a new Elysium and more Kindred to get to know, or keep his distance from. His Beast is already on edge, tugging at the end of its chain, as he finally starts to look around the rooms. His gaze falls onto Jennifer for a second before flitting away, his Beast seeking better prey than what it sees as some mortal. He finally spots Adeline and he can almost feel the growl in his throat that his Beast wants to let free. Raúl is the one in control though; he's the one who moves slowly and cautiously through the area, looking around at the others gathered as his Beast paces. This is Elysia, he reassures his Beast himself. A viper's nest, for sure, but one that the vipers know not to bite too hard.

    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.

    It was always a debate, to go to Eternal Court, or not. She had come to find Courts quite dull, but knew an appearance was good for the masses.

    Walking into Court from her office, she takes a moment to observe the room and who was there. Her Beast roared with rage at the sheer weakness before it. Demanding the Savage own up to her Clan nickname.

    But it would not be tonight. Not only did she not feel like it, but blood was an absolute bitch to get out of white, and she quite liked her new suit. The cut was perfect for her curves, and the details allowed some ink not usually on display to peek out. Yet again, she wore a ring.

    A nod was offered to the only Kindred of note thus far, Jennifer Hazelton , a Pruscus and Lady. The other two got shallow nods of acknowledging their presence.

    With Cain beside her, she moves away from the office door and sits on one of the couches, lounging back and opening a book. It speared quite old from the color of the pages. Cain stands in front of her, keeping an eye on the strangers around him. Ale’s attention was split, and she continued to observe and read.

    Jennifer folded her body elegantly, forming a perfect curtsy to the Alder Prince. Her beast yowled in her rib cage, for the beast of the prince pulls up fear of a primal nature. Jennifer is more accustomed to the Alder Gangrel than most, yet her Beast still whispers desires of how to retreat most expeditiously. The retreat that would not draw the eyes of the strongest and perhaps eldest predator in the Domain.
    A beat. Another. The beast wrestled into her cage, with assurances.

    Jennifer rose smoothly. She walked closer to the Prince, stopping outside of the set point that the Prince allowed for kindred approaching her Grace.
    Your Grace. I trust you have been well since we last spoke." Her voice slithers out like a snake crawling on crumbling, decomposing autumn leaves. Her curse that applies to every word that Jennifer speaks.


    Autumn brown eyes tick towards the man who entered and did not address her. The Prince had paid him some attention, which meant he was not a ghoul. Brown eyes light on Ms. Martin before returning to the Prince.

    Adeline smiled seeing another Kindred descend the stairs, with her faithful ghoul in tow! She took in her outfit with her icy blue eyes, admiring the fine beading on the gown. She lowered her head with respect, taking a moment or two. “Good evening Lady Notary Hazleton,” she extended her salutations to the Nosferatu Priscus. Her beast was silent, and didn’t react to the flinty lady. A fact that was always nice and odd to Adeline.

    Prince Antinori joined the small gathering of Kindred. Adeline smiled seeing her, and bowed at the waist, as she always found giving a curtsy in a pant suit to be strange. She saw pieces of ink that were new to her. What a delight that always was. Like pieces of some exotic puzzle! Of course she smothered that thought before it could get any further, as her beast urged her to flee for her unlife! She reigned it in, past experience assuring her that her beast was wrong. For now."Your Grace,"she intoned softly as she breezed pass.

    Raul gave no such confusion as her head turned hearing a heavier footfall on the stairs, and came to life. The instinct to attack him turned all the way up to a roiling boil, her eyes narrowed ever so slightly for a moment, before she got ahold of herself. She finally gave a polite smile when the urge fully left her. “Good evening, Sir. I’m Adeline Martin, Clan Ventrue, Unaligned.” She introduced herself politely, but did not press him. First meetings were delicate matters. At the look from the Lady Notary Hazelton, she moved a bit closer to Raul, and the smile became something more determined. She made a point of looking at The Lady Notary Hazelton. "The Lady is a valued member of the Domain. The Lady Notary Hazelton, Priscus of Clan Nosferatu, Invictus." She looked from Raul and back to the Lady, and browed her head again with defference. "Have you already been acknowledged by your Priscus, sir? Our are you in need of an introduction?" She said brightly with a smile. He was new.

    Raúl's ever alert gaze spots the Prince's entrance through her office. His body tenses for a moment as his Beast snarls at the commanding presence of Ale's own Beast before he manages to calm it. His tenseness fades as he bows his head for a moment or two in deference to the Prince. He watches that dangerous predator move to her seat and recline before he spots Adeline coming towards him.

    His Beast squints at her as she approaches, sizing her up. Raúl relaxes as she smiles at him and he gives the barest of nods to her. "Good evening, Ma'am. I am Raúl Domínguez, Clan Gangrel, Ordo Dracul," he says, his voice is a nice baritone, his slight accent rolling the R's with ease. When Adeline steps closer and points out the Haunt to him, he gives a small nod of thanks for the information. He gives a nod over to the Lady if she looks towards him. It felt odd to look at her and not feel his Beast care about the Kindred he knows is standing there. He turns back to Adeline when she addresses him again. "I am already acknowledged in this Domain, yes. Thank you."

    Seeing Jennifer approach, the book was closed and a nod given as she sat up, “Lady Notary, good evening. And yes, I've been quite well, thank you for asking. And yourself?” A hand gestures to the seats and couch, inviting the Haunt to sit if she wanted. While the voice was still unsettling to hear, she had heard it enough times to not let it bother too much. But she would never fully get used to it, there was just no way.

    Following the gaze, “A new Gangrel to the Domain.”

    The Nosferatu gives the beautiful Ventrue a look as she speaks. "Ms. Martin, how are you settling in?" Jennifer inquires, with her Cursed voice that slithers like a snake. Some would say that Jennifer's Clan could be up for debate, until she spoke and removed all doubt.
    "A lovely introduction." A slight nod to Ms. Martin.

    A look of study was given to the new Kindred. Jennifer was comfortable with the silence for a quiet moment.
    "Mr. Domínguez." The tone is professional and polite as the words slithered like a serpent crawling over decaying autumn leaves.

    Jennifer inclines her head slightly to the Prince as the Prince gestures for Jennifer to join her. "Thank you, Your Grace. It gladdens my heart to know that you are doing well."
    Jennifer accepted the offered seat.
    A new Gangrel? It has been some time since I have heard that said. Jennifer thought.

    "I have been well. Commiting to those plans that you and I have discussed." Ale would know what she was referring to. Jennifer was not detailing her personal plans to open Court.
    "There is a great deal to look forward to in the coming nights."
