Spring and Food Festival

[Alessandra]

Spring was in the air, which meant the weather was warming up and people were anxious to get out. Lucky for them, this weekend was the Spring Festival downtown near the water!

The Spring Festival was an annual event that brought together Sacramentos best food vendors, excited to show off their creations. As well as breweries, in a beer garden, their seasonal beers ready for tasting as well as some wineries this year. Lets just say there was something to fit everyone's taste buds! There was even a couple carnival style games mixed in among the food vendors.

This year brought out the local chapter of Sacramentos very own Kite Club, What happens at Kite Club, stays at Kite Club! They had brought out their best kites for the young, and the young at heart to give a go. Hell, they even had some that had lights for the evening, the kites, in various shapes and designs lighting up the sky as they danced in the breeze.

A stage had been setup for local bands to come and play all day and throughout the evening, with tables places around, and even places for blankets and lawn chairs.

Feeling the need to get out and away from work, Ale could be find roaming the grounds, with a beer in hand. And her restaurant had both a food and wine tent setup, so she wanted to make sure all was going well. The air was a bit warmer, probably not warm enough for some, but she was wearing a green tank top, a bright color for her, with her hair up and a red lip. Leather pants and a leather jacket, draped over her arm completed the look. And of course her skin was warm and vibrant with stolen life.

Bookkeeping

[Jennifer Hazelton]

A young man driving a luxury vehicle parked and opened the door, offering a hand to assist Jennifer out of the car. Liam drove the car away, departing. The brunette took in the festival.
Jennifer was Blushed. She had applied light make up, coral lipstick, light brown eyeshadow and eyeliner. Her hair was flat ironed stick straight to fall around her shoulders like a curtain. She was dressed for a chilly fall evening - plum colored fuzzy knit sweater, a earth toned plaid skirt and a full wool scarf in green that was discreetly pinned to completely obscure one side of her neck. Jennifer walked with the confidence of a lady as she looked over the area.

She saw a familiar woman in a tank top. "Sofia?" A voice that slithered like a snake through dying autumn leaves pierced the air.

[Alessandra]

Turning when she hears her name, a smile spreads across her lips, “Jenn! Great to see you!” and it was, she enjoyed the Haunt, “What a lovely scarf, really like that shade of green on you.” Which made her wonder if she should be wearing her jacket, but even Blushed, it didn’t feel that cold to her. Maybe it was beer? Probably the beer.

“How you doing? Find any food or drink worth trying yet?”

[Jasper]

The 7 foot plus lanky giant that is Jasper makes his way through the crowd, wearing his usual garb: jeans, a forest green t-shirt over another shirt and his fur-lined leather jacket to help keep the chill away. He's got a half-drank beer in his hand while he moves amongst the stalls, ducking here and there to look at different things. Eventually, he sees a familiar looking tattooed beauty commanding his attention for a moment. He spots Ale and makes a lazy and non-direct line towards her. For a moment, he wonders if she'll remember him, at least recognize him from the quick bump at the record bar a while back, but he's not holding his breath. Fate tends to make a lot of people have trouble remembering him, which can be a blessing and a curse. The big Irish giant is lost in the world, hidden away, but it's those connections, those sparks that he craves.

[Jennifer Hazelton]

"Thank you. I do take care to select unique scarfs." She needed them so often. Her eyes took in Alessandra.
"You look magnificient." Jennifer states honestly. "No." She lifted her eyes to look around the stalls. "I only just arrived. I was hoping for some new experience."

Ad fitting with a conversation she and Ale had some time back, Jennifer wanted to experience new things for the first time.

"Is there something you were looking forward to?" She asked Ale. As she looks around, her eyes flashed to an anamoly in the crowd. As a Nosferatu, her eyes tended to look for those unusual individuals. She saw a man standing at least seven feet tall. Her eyes remained on him for a beat. The memory of a past giant came to her and she held it for a moment.
She glances to Ale and then to the the tall man. "Do you know him?" She inquired.

[Alessandra]

Taking a drink from her beer, her dark eyes find Jasper. It was hard not to; he was one tall motherfucker. If you missed him in a room or even in a gathering, you’d have to be blind. Add his rugged good looks to the height and you had quite the impressive package.

Memory works over the name she briefly heard, though she didn’t get to really talk to him. The good thing for him, she was pretty fine mood and felt like being social, a rare thing for her.

Raising her beer once again to him, “Hey, funny running into you here. Jasper, right?” she was pretty sure that’s what she heard.

“Thanks! I felt like going for a bit of color.” Something different for her. “Well,” glancing around, “there are many things to choose from. I tend to gravitate towards beer myself, but they seem to have a bit of everything. Anything you don’t want to try?” always a good thing to establish. Could she have pitched her own restaurant? Sure. But that wasn’t the Savages style, and it wouldn’t start being her style now.

“Ummm, not really?” laughing, she was in a good mood, “I was just looking forward to an excuse to not be at work and just try and meet people.” Ale…wanted to meet people? It happens. “The music hasn’t been half bad.” Not typically her type of music, but again, this was her trying.

“Kinda? We meet briefly at a record store downtown but didn’t really get to talk.”

[Jasper]

Jasper glances over at Jennifer when she talks with Ale, asking whether they knew him or not. His breath catches for a moment when he hears his name come from her and he can't help the smile that comes to his lips. He raises his own beer back to the tattooed beauty, "Heeeey, yeah. That's me. You remembered. Sorry, I don't think I caught yours before. Everything kinda happened so quickly at the store."

He closes the distance between him and the two woman, which only takes a couple of steps from his large gait. He still gives them plenty of room though. His large size is only slightly imposing. "How's your evening goin', ladies?" he asks, turning between the two of them and cracking a warm smile. The man sort of bleeds an excited energy, like a dog being offered a treat.

He turns to Jennifer and nods, "As she said, I'm Jasper. Pleased to meet you." He hesitates for a moment, wondering if he should offer an overly large hand for either of them to shake. His nostrils flare ever so slightly above his ruddy mustache.

[Witch]

Spring was teasing. When it was sunny you could pretend it was summer. Let the night come through, with a hint of breeze, and you would think your earlier thoughts were crazy.

So, Witch dressed appropriately. Jean shorts and a Yellowstone national park tee shirt. Plus, tights, high socks, and an open jacket.

While she hadn't really gotten settled in with the Consilium having more numbers, even she felt the fact that the talk of 4 didn't fill the air of the Circle. And with home projects at a good break point, she found herself walking the Spring Festival. A canvas bag slung over one shoulder already had a few finds and in her hand was a half-eaten skewer of candied strawberries.

Soon to be full eaten as she pulled off the next in line and popped it into her mouth.

[Alessandra]

Sipping the beer, “Remembering names is part of what I do.” Didn’t mean she would always use the right name. Depended on the situation. “Sofia.” an inked hand held out. Her Beast didn’t react to him previously, or now. So she felt comfortable offering a hand. Though he could always have his Beast hidden like Jenn. Eh, whatever. “It was an interesting evening, find any good vinyl?” the Savage didn’t remember if she saw him pick any albums up, but could be a conversation point. She heard that’s a good way to be social.

“Can’t complain, found a pretty good seasonal beer. Though not sure on food yet. You? Anything you can recommend?” see, she can be social and friendly!

Now the shorts with the tights were an interesting look, and the girl wore it well. Tights had never really been a thing for her, maybe it came after her time. But she looked like she could be fun to talk with, different, which was good in her eyes, so the Savage once again raised her beer. She currently had no food, so beer it was.
