Daeva night drive

[Verity Carmen]

She had waited for months for one and now it would seem she had the good fortunate of welcoming another another of her cousins into the city. Another all night carpark chosen at random. And The Priscus of the Daeva sits inside her Mini van the body work painted black with band logos and tour dates spray painted across it.

Dressed tonight in calf high burgundy boots her legs encased in skin tight leather pants highlighting her curves and the allure just beneath the fabric a asymmetrical leather skirt adds some flow to her movements. gold chains grave her hips serving as a belt. Moving up a thin leather under shirt painted to her frame and form it would appear does add the semblance of modesty, and the promise of what lies underneath. The sleeveless halter blouse serves to add some dimensions to her out fit. Upon each wrist resides a Rose cuff and around her neck a ring of golden roses

Her Auburn hair tonight up in an in a elaborate braid. pinned in place by a gold stemmed rose a red leather biker jacket rests on a seat behind the drivers one[/url] and the scent of her perform lightly permeating inside the car. Roses, honeysuckle and amber a sweet but earthly aphrodisiac.

With false life flowing through her system misty green eyes scan around looking for what she hoped to be a newly arrived Daeva and not something more unexpected. A faint wonder and hope if this cousin would be as delightful as the recently arrived Juliette.

Bookkeeping

[Alicia Silvers]

It was time to do her grand debut, or well debut of striking it out on her own free from the years of torturous oversight and vengeance. Having spent the majority of the night until now to prepare herself, to get ready. Not daring to appear in the clothes she preferred to wear nor dress to inappropriately, needing to find that level of balance that would work well within their own ranks but not as a more public debut.
Hair painstakingly woven into an unadorned floral arrangement, a lighter eye shadow chosen to accentuate her purple colored contacts, paired with a matching lipstick to complete the ensemble. After many debates and thoughts having gone for the free revealing dress with gold and silver chains to accentuate her smaller frame, not like she had anything to be ashamed off or felt the need to cover her legs tonight. Hands adorned with dark floral patterns, and nails to follow the color scheme upon eight of her ten fingers, the other two upon her left hand being the same but severely shorted down for those who would know what it meant. Lastly a pair of lighter dark floral heels. Eager to see how her choice of outfit would go over as she takes a cab to a nearby location for their meeting.

False life flowing through her cheeks and body as she walks the final distance to make sure no one would see her, that she wasn´t followed and to be safe, a light squeeze at the rubber coated clock like thing upon her right wrist as she makes her way toward the parked car, not truly certain if it would be the right one. The look of it feeling a bit off from what she had expected, not in a negative manner but not having expected something so rock based.
Forcing air through her lungs, steeling her nerves, prepared to feel her insides screaming as the caged beast would force her to run, to surrender in an unsightly manner. Fishing a pill out of her purse, cracking it asunder with a calming inhale right before lightly kneeling just out of range for the door to be opened. Not wanting to knock, not wanting to step to close, to be to close should things not go well, not until she would be allowed permission to step closer and both their battle had passed.
A fruity scent of Litchi, followed by a flowery bouquet of Turkish rose, finishing with a complex base of vanilla, amber and woody notes emanating from her. With a fresh scent of roses in the air not seeming to stem from her.

[Verity Carmen]

The approaching kindred brought out the wrath in her own beast the desire to rip and tear upon this intruder. But an encounter had been very expected she had known what she was here to do and with a few moments she pushes the the thing back down into its cage she would not be ruled by it tonight.

The door clicks open and the Daeva in her adornments that married skin-tight to flowing, that used modesty to fire the imagination and a sense of palpable temptation steps into the night to meet ... one who could do her justice in those departments in fact mirroring her in so many many ways. Verity's own pale foundation, purple lipstick and eye shadow reapplied automatically each night a by product of her change seem matched, the gloves she knew she owned as well she had worn them to court, the use of roses and flowers as the main theme also the one she used. A smile creeps over her face for what is imitation if not he highest form of flattery. And her cousin was stunning to be hold all in her own right. A sight, the scent the general presence something Verity lingers in with faded pangs of gratitude, keen eyes and trained senses picking up the small otherwise missed details.

The Musical and Mellifluous voice breaks the night first. "There is no need to kneel to me cousin we are family after all." And in a rare twist might actually pass for it. Verity offers both her hands out palms up to take the hands of the other and help her up. "You truly are a sight of beauty to behold. I think we might share something of a style." And to leads her to wonder on other questions to. "Lets go for a drive shall we." This though, this was not a question. "I can show you some of the city." And willing to play at host once her cousin is risen will hold the passenger side door open. An easy test will this one go where she is directed.

[Alicia Silvers]

The opening of the door making her slowly turn her head upward, purple eyes meeting those misty greens with a shiver. Feeling the phantom sensation of her teeth beginning to portrude, the ravaging desire of the beast to be let out, to prove its dominance, not to flee as she had aspected but luckily soon pushed down with a silent sigh of relief.

Eyes tracing over the beauty before her. Lips slowly parting for but a moment before falling back into a neutral appearance, seldom had she met anyone who could rival her own beauty, that did not spark a sensation of envy of how others were treated to the sights rather than herself. This was a true treat, the smile offered to her mimicked back over her own amusement to this glorious sight. Letting her eyes wander to take in each and every detail of the woman, focusing her scent to take in the scents mixed with the differences in their tones, in their manners as she makes sure to put each aspect to memory with a curiosity of how that make up had been done.

A lick of her lips with a pleasant shiver as a voice true to the sight before her breaks the silence, ohh she had been bested, a number lowered. Hands gently placed upon the stretched out palms with a light lingering of her touch only to withdraw them as she was standing up.
"Noted my fair cousin, kindly do excuse me though I was raised to be proper." And to show her inferiority. Seeking out eye contact with the splendor before her. "I am sorry to disappoint you, I generally lack a style. My life is that of a chameleon, changing as it needs. But you know just as well as me that when you are born with transcendent beauty so can you get away with dressing in any manner you like. Admittingly so with yourself included so have my life allowed for less than a handful of such rarities to appear."

Walking over to the passenger door with her right hand softly caressing the outer layer of the car.
"An interesting choice, have you attended all of these concerts?" Reading each of the names she can see looking for artists she might be familiar with as she approaches the passenger door, pivoting around with her hand placed out to rest against the palm of her higher ranking cousin should she be offered it at the gesture to aid her in sitting down.
Placing herself gently into the car as she takes up another pill and cracks it asunder outside of the car door, letting its rose scent linger in the air whilst her hands puts on the seatbelt with the proper elegance of a finely raised lady.

[Verity Carmen]

A cursory examination the van would show many modern bands such as green day, Guns N Roses, foo fighters and the list goes on all concerts happened within the last eighteen years the most recent date would read 03/13/2019 with a mouth and tongue sticking out the band logo of KISS.

With her cousin standing her smile persists and eye contact being such a dangerous thing but to her knowledge not one most Daeva employed with malicious intent so it is granted. "Don't worry about it mum taught me the same thing, only I have found what is proper in one place, to not be so in others." It looked a little odd for sure but was explainable at least. The pout is half true half in play. "Well I understand don't we all have to do that a bit." The social chameleon bit. "But I appreciate the compliment." Transcendent was not one she heard often. "And I will rightly return it, rare indeed do I encounter one like you, beauty defined and given form." And Verity for her part was not subtle in enjoying that fact. "Oh yes I have, music is something I enjoy a great deal." The scent pill was a bit of an odd quirk but hey it could be a lot worse.

Once her cousin was eat and the door closed Verity makes her way to drivers seat enclosing them in the van, that bit safer to talk. The refinement of her cousins motions give her pause to wonder. Starting the engine. "Well Ms. Silvers, tell me about yourself." Time to take the measure of the newly arrived kindred.

[Alicia Silvers]

Glad to see that eye contact was met, a bit nervous she was opening herself up but if she was truly in danger so would it surely not matter what she did by now anyways.
"Ain´t that the truth, I would be ever so grateful if you would be willing to share in any such knowledges regarding the community here. It would be dreadful if I defaulted to one set that would not end up being well perceived at all." An overly exaggerated sigh with a flutter of her eyes. "Indeed we do, but I started my journey of it far to early, some might say eerily so but it has led me to plenty of experiences which is not something to regret." About to move her head to the side, to fake a shy little blush but catching herself out of that poor defenseless habit made to ensnare the confident. "A grander proof as to why I carry the name of Silver has seldom been so apparent, my tongue and looks both bested by the gold of the night." The looks thoroughly noted but not acted upon, nor something uncommon for either of them far as she could imagine.

Stretching her back up in the seat, making certain to not rest her hair against the seat, feet touching together in a light bend toward the door attempting to look as proper as her current outfit would allow of her. Staying completely silent with eyes locked ahead of them, not showing the slightest of motions to the start of the engine.
"Is there anything particular you would like to know about? As we are not in the open so should I probably start by introducing myself, my name is Luna Alicia Silvers, usually I just go by Alicia or Aly, or whatever I might need for my current aims." Stopping to think for a moment, not certain how deep she should go without a proper question, not wanting to give to much of herself up. "Kindly allow me to offer you a perhaps more intriguing aspect and ask you about it in return." Turning her head to look upon her cousin. "Like your letter told me about yourself so am I to unaligned, now as to my curiosity why did you feel it so important to share that information with me?" Knowing all to well that those who gave to easily were often those who shared the least.

[Verity Carmen]

Once the door is closed and things are underway Verity then take to answering questions. "The domain uses series of head bows to indicate respect befitting station or if your feeling brave enough the degree of respect you think a kindred should have, bowing at the waist or a full curtesy is reserved for the prince." Checking the roads before she pulls out of the carpark. "When in court observe me to pick it up." It was hardly a difficult thing to, well unless you were a member of the Invictus that was as recent months had demonstrated with there racking up of so many slights. "It's no bad thing to have started early, we have the time and the ability to experience so very much so see things rise and fall from start to finish, to be there for the grand moments so many only dream of we each and everyone of us has the potential to be a record of history in our own right, yet many kindred choose not to see that rather wallowing in their sense of damnation." So a point in favour for her cousin.

Now now that, that will not do. "Cousin do not play yourself down, if being of clan Daeva were not enough you have oh so very much to boast of when where your qualities are concerned. And it is better to know your worth, goodness knows others will try to lessen you." Those who wish to feebly mimic what is by right of embrace the Daeva's. "You my dear cousin, we, are wroth so very much." And The Priscus would not let her clan forget that.

Turning off to head towards downtown. "Should we be out and about in public or talking in Private I will use then Alicia if it is what you go by. But in court their is something or an enforcement of formality so there Ms. Silvers would be proper. Our family I allow to use my first name after the title in kindred company, to those not of our blood my surname is the appropriate form of address. The title is dropped around the kine or in public settings of course. Where all call me Verity." Best to cover the basics as she had found out.

A smirk plays across her perfect features. Coy aren't we. "You say for your current aims, what are those? What do you hope to achieve here?" Always an interesting question. "Where do you skills reside? what re things you like to do?" Come now cousin tell me of yourself.

The proclamation gets a brief head turn before misty green eyes are back on the road, it might be late but cities never truly sleep. "Now that I am glad to hear cousin by your formality I was wondering if you in fact might be have been of a different persuasion." Had she got lucky twice it still remained to be seen. "I am quite curious then my dear cousin what appeals to you about the unbound ideology why do you choose to danse alone?" The answers as numerous as the stars in the sky. "You will learn much of me cousin I do not doubt, but that I walk unbound is something I take pride in. I have no crutch or fall back there is no safety net I am responsible for what I do and the standards I set myself, high as they are are enforced by no will but mine." Although she had come into a new appreciation of something recently. "That being said until very recently no other Daeva of note called the domain home. There is one among the faceless masses of court whose primary reputation was for her haven burning down and nearly being kidnapped at least until I started to speak well of her." Well hold up my end of the agreement anyway. "The other Daeva I have encountered are subjects of an ongoing investigation and have caused nothing but trouble." Stains on the blood of our clan each and everyone one of them. For a moment her calm features take on a look of scorn. "I had not realised just how much I had missed Daeva of quality until one arrived recently." It had been eye opening just how badly she craved company of such kindred as these. It begged the question in earnest did she truly believe the danse was meant to be done alone?

[Alicia Silvers]

Silently listening to the words, allowing her mind to start to formulate a behavior and avoidance of full courtesy´s. The need for a reliance of observation a bit startling but hopefully doable at least. Eyes flickering left and right as they pull out, making sure to take note of where they travels at all times.
"Noted, use light courtesy´s in an emergency otherwise try to read the head bows of others until the formalities of this city has been engraved in my memory. Otherwise observe gala dinner courtesy levels as a fallback method." A light cocking of her head with eyes upon the road. "We are cursed, we are damned, we lost something we will never get back." Lightly shrugging. "So it´s done. Now your question is will you accept it, to only see the negative or will you seek the advantages and new possibilities opened to you? We have the chance to experience so much" a sparkle in her eyes "to do and experience things we once couldn´t even dream possible. Why wallow over things you cannot change, when so many new paths are opened?" Not certain if her original point had been missed or just led to the words no matter which so did it give an insight.

Elegantly raising her left hand over her mouth to hide a coy smile.
"You speak far to highly of a virtual stranger my fair lady." Letting her hand fall down to reveal a lightly teasing look. "Not that I mind, it is not often I get such praise from one who knows the weight of the words." So few ever did. "Kindly allow me to indulge though, three times has my eyes rested upon divine beauty enough to even stir me. Conceding to blood in order to get to indulge in such sights is a cheap price to pay."

Eyes rapidly following their path, not allowing herself to forget.
"That sounds good, do not be surprised when I use my other name or well any other name among Kine. My full name is not something they all need to know." A light twirl with a finger through her hair. "On that manner though what is the title you prefer? Priscus of clan Daeva, Verity, Clan Daeva Priscus, Verity, or simply just Priscus Verity? Or well Verity for our blood."

Stilling a silent chuckle, I walked right into that one.
"You caught me there, ohh well lets see. My true current aims I must admit might sound a bit dull. I would like to experience all this city has to offer, and I would like to get the chance to strengthen my familial bonds. Plain and simple is it not?" Looking down upon her nails, gently letting them trace against her thumbs. "As for what I hope to achieve well just that, to find new experiences and strengthen those bonds with aims of making us all look better when viewed from outside." Hesitating for a bit, lightly shrugging her head yeah it would not be wise to keep it silent. "I like reading, games, poisons, medicine, clubbing is never a bad experience, seducing a target or make them think they were the one who did it, trying new things is the single thing I enjoy the most though." Fishing up one of her scented pills with a twirl between her fingers. "I have quite a fascination for scents so other than unsurprisingly enough being trained in the art of seduction." That was a usage of her parents money they had not enjoyed. "So am I not to bad at chemistry, and have made these little things myself." Putting it back into its case in the purse. "Sadly so do I not have a proper workstation setup here as of yet. I am also kind of a drifter, open to try and learn anything and everything. So if my talents can be used or a special one is needed so will I gladly try to learn it." Turning her head towards the driver. "With that topic brought up, I did bring a gift for you based around my own interests mentioned here. Would you allow me to give it to you?"

The brief turn of the head a bit intimidating, making her lean a bit toward the door against her will but quickly regaining her composure.
"On that matter you needn´t worry, I do admit to having moved in the upper echelons of human society a bit to much to not pick up on the more formal manners. That is all though." Keeping silent long enough to listen to the topic in full, noting the scorned look and luckily enough one she could easily grasp the reasoning for. "Alone? Now what kind of dull outlook is that? I would never desire to dance alone, to stand in the cold shut out of everything. I simply desire to dance with those whom share my blood or perhaps whose blood I share rather than ones who are bound together by ways of shared ideologies. Beauty and galore, wonder and indulgence are all ours. The definitions of views having changed through the ages as those of our blood are kept as memories of its once meaning. We hold experiences and stories made flesh, who better to desire to dance with might there be?" And not as much damn brainwashing. " So we are at least four here me included, in addition to some under investigation. The new arrival somehow having managed to quickly become more than a faceless mass meaning it´s a position to carefully avoid getting put into. In order to avoid that what made the other new arrival one of quality rather than one of lacking substance?"

[Verity Carmen]

Having no wish to crash Verity is relying largely on mirrors to show the blurry and indistinct outline of her cousin. "Yes that sounds about right." Verity has no clue what gala dinner formalities are but doesn't let that show through her composed state. "This system of head bows is used when a kindred makes entry to an event, if they join a conversation beyond the first they engage with, when they leave a conversation or event and when you arrive to an event or leave you perform appropriate customs to each kindred already present or remaining respectively." A lot of head bobbing all in all, like those little dog figures.

This gets a reaction a grin unexpectedly. "Oh yes I hear a lot about our cursed condition, and have heard the priests go on about our being dammed." And you know what. "I don't truck with it. My sire never spoke of what we are that way and it rubbed off." Of course mum was very much in the minority she knew, meaning the Priscus was herself. "We are changed I do not deny it. Something lost, something gained. But I am grateful to no longer be counted among the kine." In her eyes she had been elevated not diminished. "So yes exactly that so much lies before us to experience." And they had the time to experience it.

Pulling into the thorough fare of downtown. "Downtown is the rack you can come here to socialise but not hunt or feed without the right granted by the prince herself." Good things to know as the lights and music of clubs sound and flare and reveleers pass by on the streets. "Do you disagree cousin? Do you think the your value is less then I place it at?" The return compliment some might consider shameless to Verity it appeals greatly to her sense of pride. "Well cousin I greatly appreciate your words, yet it is a rare thing for me to take another kindred into my bed, even family it can get messy to say the least." A seductive smile plays around the corners of her mouth. "But that is not to say there is no hope for it." Sex might be just an act but from it once it began pleasure could still be derived a muted but true feeling and the added danger of a partner who could keep up did add a certain something.

A nod. "In case it comes up which do you prefer to use when among the kine?" A good thing to know actually. "Priscus Verity is fine in conversation, I use longer formats when writing, on the off chance that whoever I am writing to is unaware, very unlikely in your case I grant you." Given Her cousin had written to the Priscus of the Daeva.

It hadn't meant to be so much a trap as just something she picked up on in the thread of the conversation, it could just as likely have been bait. So lets try a few steps shall we. "Goals I can certainly help with to be sure I am quite the active socialite and there is much to offer in the city. More so in longer nights granted." For the next goal. "The other recent arrival is a delight I shall let you meet her yourself but I have in mind the three of us should meet soon." If this continued to go well then plans and ideas were starting to form. "But now I wish to see something. It is not secret that in the court of July just gone the Seneschal was left reeling as she was cut out from the reporting process for information in the domain, this happened because I had been reporting the Prince and doing a much better job at doing so." The prince had stated after she had begun that her grace was actually receiving reports. "And now I find myself the subject of the Seneschal's displeasure and a campaign of her fabricating slights against me." Oh what fun to know she was under the officials skin like that. "How does that factor into your plans and ambitions?" Verity has pulled over and is holding her cousin in a steady gaze. "I have a lot more respect for daggers to my front then my back if you would care to try for it." Where family was concerned anyway. So with the information used as bait, the plain and simple fact that a domain official had a petty little vendetta against the reputation of the Priscus who made her look bad, what way will you go?

The list of skills and interests is impressive. Poison, that's a new one I wonder to what use? "My word that is quite the range you have I do not know many kindred interested in medicine given well out general lack of need for it. What inspired that?" Poisons, chemistry, scents. I see a theme something of a scientist then. "Very impressive. I have no doubt you and will be of great use to the domain with skills like that." And a willingness to help is always a good thing. "A gift? Now that is a first. I want it said on record that no gifts are required to be acknowledged here, you may present whatever you wish but know it has no bearing on the process at hand." Not wanting her cousin to think she took bribes but also not wishing to disrespect the gesture. "My next question however does. Alicia have you ever committed amaranth?" The slew of heavy questions means the van has yet to restart its journey these were weighty matters and demanded her full attention.

Her tilts to ne side every so slightly. "I see, that explains it we are found in every echelon are we not." One of the wonderful things of clan Daeva such variety. "That the kindred existence is a solitary affair is the almost universally shared outlook of the unbound, it is why we chain ourselves to nothing but ourselves and our own ideologies." Of course nearly universal among the unbound, exceptions always exist. "Not holding to such an ideology will I do not doubt make socialising in court all the easier." And now she listens to words not dissimilar to her own view. "I see we do not differ so very far in our views then cousin I think conversing on the matter in nights to come will be very interesting." Kindred after all did love their political ideologies. "Four, three being Daeva of note including yourself and the trouble makers hail from San Diego, they are not members of this domain." An new question then for sure. "A kindred being of note is a way to say that they are brave enough to stick their head above the parapet, to stand out and get involved in domain affairs rather then just exist in the background, leech or stir trouble." So show your substance.
