    ~~Narration~~

    Rahya spent the last few nights transforming the Mesuem to look more like the art gallery she needed it to be. She had hired some people to work on it during the day and had even closed the mesuem for a few days to make the preparations. Now, all was ready and she admired the pieces of art that had been set up for viewing as she did one last walk through.

    Satisfied with the results of her labor, she finally opens the doors for the citizens of Sacramento to enter and enjoy.

    Derek Noble arrived at the art show's opening only a few minutes after it was scheduled to begin. Although drama was more his forte, Derek has an interest in all sorts of art, and it was always a good thing to show an interest in the work of aspiring talents and to support arts venues of all sorts. He hadn't gotten a chance to ask Adrienne West if she was going to be attendance, but he would be surprised if she didn't show.

    As usual for such events, Derek didn't bring a date. Through his years of teaching at the Wagner Academy of Visual and Performance Arts, Derek knew and was known by a lot of people in the local arts community, so he didn't think it likely he'd be lacking for conversation. Besides, a good part of the fun of such occasions was seeing who one might meet, and the possibility of a chance meeting turning into something more.

    Open to that possibility, he'd dressed to make an impression, in perfectly-polished leather shoes, loose-fitting black slacks, a smoke-grey Armani jacket, a pale lavender shirt and a tie in black, grey, lavender and purple geometric shapes. Although Derek couldn't complain about his salary - the Academy paid excellently - his taste in clothing strained his budget, but Derek felt about fashion as he did a great many things: If you're going to do it, you might as well go full out.

    After exchanging greetings with a few people he recognized, including a graduate of the Academy and the parents of one of his current students, he decided to check out the gallery space proper, while also keeping an eye out for any other art lovers that might catch his attention.

    Auvrey arrived, and it looked as if he were one of the first. Which was nice, really, it gave him time to look at the pieces without having to move for someone else, or look over someone's shoulders.

    He had read the Elysium notice, and then the pamphlet, with some curiosity. It would be interesting to see, indeed.

    Auvrey dressed as he usually did, in muted greys and blacks. Unlike some of his peers, it wasn't an affectation of the mysterious nightstalker persona; it was simply a nod towards his calling. He had taken the time to put a rubber tip on his cane, so that the clacking of it wouldn't distub anyone.

    Mrs. Scotts arrived early for Eva's show, her checkbook and pen in her handbag. Entering, she saw Mr. Feiran, and headed over towards him.

    "Mr. Feiran." She greeted him with a smile. "so good to see you again."

    Eva stands wearing plain black pants and a black hoody with an E on the chest in an odd script. Her art is hung as plain canvas, no frames around the art black shroud like cloth draped around them.

    She stands meekly by a dark painting, near the center of the grouping, near the front of the somberly lit area is a small box with the "What will you leave behind?" pamphlets and little descriptions of each piece. She has nearly forty paintings displayed, all in a variety of media, some in a tight illustrative form, some wildly painted in the heat of the moment. Most of the paintings follow the theme of skeletal remains, but some are subtle, something that Kine would not understand, a dark shadowy figure watching the aura of a person, someone's gaze boring into another, dominating them, etc. The pamphlet is simple.

    How lucky are those who leave something behind when they meet their death? Even the basest of animals leave behind their bones to tell a story eons from now, what would you do if you knew that nothing would be left behind but your legacy? Would you live differently? ~Eva Carino

    ((The works below are credited to their respective artists in the file name... This is just a small sampling of the paintings Eva has at the show.))

    Martin had debated coming; although he enjoyed art, right now he neither had the money to be a patron nor a place to put a piece. He'd almost decided not to, but then remembered that Ms. Carino was Kindred. Which would mean other Kindred would be there as well. Which meant it would be a good opportunity for the Primogen to go out and network with others of his kind, and know the city and people whom he was going to be advising his Prince for.
    Or about, as the case may be.
    The crowd is still thin when he arrives, which is good. Gives him an opportunity to go over the art on display. He looks over all of the works, not just those by Eva, but hers are the ones he spends the most time upon. He takes one of the pamphlets, reading it.
    What would I do differently? Nothing. Not a blessed thing. My legacy shall be to aid La Charpentiere--long may her works be praised!

    Eva nods to Mister Carpenter, smiling that soft smile of hers topped by morose amber colored eyes.

    Jayant Nagaraj, the diminutive Shadow, wanders into the gallery wearing his dark navy blue uniform he only reserves for special occasions.

    This was one, in his view. A fellow Mekhet had her own gallery and he had been invited. He was very pleased with how he looked, a guilty feeling entering his mind once again for enjoying himself.

    If his Sire found out, then pain would swiftly follow.

    Eva waves when she sees Jayant enter, smiling at a fellow family member.

    She then sees Mrs. Scotts and waves as well, smiling brightly if just for a moment before returning to her meek pose, grateful to the woman for all she has done for her.

    jayant beams at Eva and heads over to her, bowing slightly.

    "My congratulations, Miss Corino, your work is as impressive as ever." He glances at the nearest piece, smiling and understanding the artwork quite fondly.

    Turning to face her, Jayant says, "I am sorry Miss Valencia and I never returned at your invitation, my humble apologies."
