Fairview at the theatre

[Verity Carmen]

Now that was actually legitimately funny, something that managed to find the ghost of humour in the emotionally faded landscape of the kindred existence, and for a rare treat the musical laugh is not put on, not a guise to cover her place as she moved among the living. "Me?" It was wonderful joke. "No I do not think you will ever forget me." Misty green eyes reflect that certainty. No one forgets me. "I mean for the everything you will claim as yours, each experience, with so many it could be all to easy to get them muddled or have them fade." The flash in the pan, he momentary experiences so that be in it in ten or hundred years you will know you did these things. And ah see you get it. "Yes exactly like that. Maybe I will have to give you something, an little token to attach to the memory of tonight?" A keepsake.

Oh Alicia knew how to get to Verity's good side all right. "Bask is it?" Choosing not speak on fleeting moments. And overwhelming excess of pride will not allow her to refute the words. "Well do not do your self a disservice by the comparison, you are elegance and grace and charm a wonder of perfection that surely only story could contain but made real." But fair turn around now that was fair game. "And don't you worry, the very idea of you makes me feel plenty." Never mind the closeness, the flirting.

This was getting ... interesting. "Indeed but how often the road to building ourselves takes strange twists and turns, along routes we do not expect." Bashing your head against a brick wall only gets you brain damage after all, some obstacles require a more roundabout method. "And who says reality is not here to cater to us?" The playful re-entering her tone. "It already has unless you disagree?" More then a few ways to interpret that.

Verity arches an eyebrow. Surely you hint at some meaning deeper then the surface of what you suggest? But it would have to wait. "Well if you want to wear one, I would not object." Her choice after all. And hey Verity knows how to have fun of that nature. "Hazy? Given I will likely be looking at you the entire time I doubt I will recall much of it at all." And honestly that was fine she could see the conclusion another night or find it online with some ease.

Oh now you are getting intriguing. "Well I hope each serves you well and as you need it. and yes indeed even what looks like draw back can become such a source of power if just used correctly." I am so glad you understand these things.

Oh and it would seem the Albert had once more surfaced from his thoughts. "Is that what you take from it? Interesting." She had been getting very different messages. But hey that's why art is subjective right.

[Alicia Silvers]

Feeling the enchantment of the laughter, having heard it a few times now, enough to begin to sense a difference between the various ones still not sure where the difference was born though. Seeming like her flirty jest distraction had landed home at least.
"I believe you are right" eyes piercing into her cousins "how could anyone ever forget you? No the memory of you might likely be the last thing that ever fades from it as the darkness at long last casts its shadow over my eyes." The words clearly striking home, having to rely upon honed skills to not obviously betray herself in the moment still clear for anyone who took the time to look. "Memories are fleeting, words are powerful, to have the wrong one get ahold of a collection of words of our memory along with the feelings attached to them a potential vulnerability. Still the effect they can have upon ourselves if written correctly immense." I wonder if my old diaries still exists, or did those bastards discard them? Eyes growing wide with excitement at the statement, pulling her out of the unwelcome thoughts. "A first gift from you to treasure, a memory of you along with a memory of this night, now that would be something so special I would never willingly part with it." Fully allowing herself to give a sincere smile at the thought of such a gesture.

Nudging herself slightly closer, the arm around her a comforting pillar of serene warmth, filled with sensations reminiscent of old hard as they were to hold onto in the same manner.
"But what is a tale of a beauty without a hero or heroine to sparkle it?" Inching just a little closer, so little that it would hardly be noticeable for anyone but them. "If I am an epos so is it to be read from two sides, one being my journey, the other the heroine of gallant beauty which is you, for us to meet in the middle, serving to begin the next tale." Hoping that would make sense as she loses her breath for a moment, not remembering when last someone had given such sweet words that were not just for the wrong reasons. "As you shall never leave my memory, so shall I perhaps linger within yours for untold decades to come then, it excites me to know that I manage such an effect on the rarest of wonders my eyes have ever seen." This, this was the thrill she so sorely had been missing ever since that ride so many years ago.

Flashing a smile with her normal human canines visible.
"How dull would it be otherwise? How dull wouldn´t a straight path be? No twists, no turns, nothing of interest, just a path laid clear from birth, everything well and good." Letting out a sigh. "Nothing unexpected, only a path that in the end will be worth nothing, no chance to grow, to see sides of yourself that you never knew was there, only being locked into nothingness, that would be so empty, so sad, a tragedy in and off itself. The twists and turns, the paths around them, now those are treasures to be cherished." Shaking her head to the question, the playful tone not missed. "I do disagree to an extent. We might have had the seeds, but we cultivated them, we claimed them, we went off the paths to find it, to make it grow, reality does not cater, but it serves those who do not fear to take it." Gesturing a hand out to the masses around them. "Many have the chance, most fail, you and I never, to us it is but a dance partner playing its tunes for us not at us."

Slowly licking her lips.
"A truth I do not mind sharing or who knows of, without a collar or a choker so do I feel kind of naked, now their meaning that is a tale more closely guarded." Maybe one night, but not now. "Sounds like we both will miss the conclusion for a far more intriguing tale then, I hope our seat neighbors wont mind." Not that she cared for neither the play nor them, the touches and stolen glances far more enjoyable than any play could imagine to be.

Feeling their time starting to run out, so many fascinating topics that had been touched upon but unable to venture in closer.
"With my every breath, with my every change, their boons so wide that I still find new ways to utilize them more often than I might have imagined. How the rose will be once it fully blooms a mystery I am eager to see in due time, but hold no rush for." Letting the tips of their fingers meet for but a moment. "Learn the expectation of the masses, to manipulate it to your behest, a drawback is only a boon in disguise that you need to learn how to utilize."

Listening as the older man spoke with a moment of thought.
"So you enjoy the tale it tells, how it opens up the way to perceive people, how no one is truly beyond another, that all are but human? How a position, status or stature, gifts given by birth, family or luck does not mean that you are neither better or worse than your next? In a sense just the way it can reveal truths that should be shared, or did I miss the mark of what you found enjoyable with them?" The words to common to truly having seen his personal enjoyment to other degrees than those.

[Verity Carmen]

Beauty was something that inspired of that she was so well aware, people went to war for it, begged themselves to possess it or those that had it, and ruined all that could otherwise have been good in their life to grasp it. "Now don't speak of such dark things. I know I comes for us all and sooner then any would like." Better make sure that any one listening doesn't get any ideas. "But I am touched." She still had a hand around Alicia waist and pulls the other in to lightly nuzzle. "You speak of how you have gotten into me but I would say the reverse is true as well, it would seem I have taken root within you to." Misty green eyes dazzle as they reflect the light. The point of journals being misused for certainly fair and all to common. "Then I suggest if you do take it up, hide it very well." True for anything that contained secrets. "Or only write of that which is not so sensitive as to be used against you." And trust the rest to memory. That the idea of a gift was so well received makes her curious. "Then I shall have to think on what could truly define the moments just so." She would find something, she settled on that.

The two so close they could mistaken for lovers the sparks of passion near as strong as Verity could recall since her embrace. Yet the words of the breath taking beauty cause not to draw away but to hesitate for a handful of heartbeats once more. "And yet sometimes the stories that we are, are themselves not destined to linger long in the presence of the other." Not all characters in them walk side by side forever or even long at all. "But never say never, although I know I will think of you fondly for a very long time." Perhaps her words a little to close to truth there. But the smile returns, the closeness the act and genuine warmth as best she can muster it taken up once more.

Her cousin seemed caught in wonder and it makes verity herself curious as to what the life and danse of the other had truly been like thus far. Verity could not claim to have felt the worst the kindred state had to offer but she did understand that following your path could be disappointing at times. "So you say but when a twist or turn comes utterly beyond your control what then? When you have no other option but to adapt and reconcile a truth that you might wish were not so what then? When forced to rely on others who prove unequal to the task and so you suffer for their ineptitude what then?" Not every twist and turn is of our making, our design or our ability to influence. Things vastly beyond our control happen. "The seeds perhaps but that has given us all we need, it has catered to us very well I would say." The pride in what she was unspoken but apparent in each and every syllable.

Alicia's fashion choices were her own Verity had after all adopted elements into her own clothing she was not seen without. "I am sure they will not object, after all the show they will be getting almost certainly far out strips whatever happens on stage." Granted the hidden meanings might be loss of their neighbours but none the less.

Nodding. "There now you see that's it, drawbacks, setbacks all present opportunity. I have no doubt as you continue too bloom you shall be magnificent." Understanding that truth was a key and first step into becoming something truly powerful in the night.

[Alicia Silvers]

Lightly shaking her head.
"Then kindly allow me to change it to speak that the vision of you will be the last thing I see before my eyes for untold decades to come as I close my eyes, just moments before falling into the world of dreams, with some luck also blessing them with a pale vestige of it´s splendor that no dream can truly make justice." The sudden motion fully unexpected, catching her off guard with a look of surprise upon her, not sure what is about to happen but still refusing to break eye contact until there was no other choice. Silently letting them close wit ha light raising upward to meet that warm cheek, not certain if the warmth was from their false life flushing through their veins or the sparkle of passion only knowing that it was far more than she had expected of the night, and only fueled her for once the door closed for the evening as she softly nuzzles her cheek against her fair cousins. The words barely registering, to lost in her own sensations. "You caught my eye the first moment I saw you, each night since have only fueled that sensation, only made it shine all the brighter, how could I deny such an obvious truth?" Wanting to nod but unable in the moment, instead leaning ever so slightly forward with a light kiss placed right between the jaw and ear before leaning out to take the liberty of resting her own head against the woman´s shoulder. "Those are wise words, I shall keep them in mind." Lingering for a moment, just enjoying the sensation before slowly rising up with a touch of the tip of her nose against her cousins neck, up her jaw, cheek, just narrowly missing those enchanting lips to instead allow her own to teasingly wander over them only to fall back into the originally held position albeit again slightly closer.

Lightly cupping the cheek of her cousin, believing herself to grasp the meaning behind the words but not fully certain.
"If tales we are so do they not simply cease, they carry on and on, new chapters constantly added until there is nothing more to tell. As our tales, our Epos meets in their middle it will be grand, sparkling with desires untold, captivate and linger in mind for untold ages to come. The part that would make anyone privy to it to hold on to its memory, compare everything else in their life to it." Softly shaking her head as the hands falls. "But there will be more to tell, the tale not ended, merely a height, the continuation filled with fond memories yes but where it will go nothing is certain, be it close or continents apart who knows, and who wishes to know all that is to come?" Licking her lips with a warm wink. "The only thing that is certain is that both tales will be richer, and continue to shine unrivaled no matter how they progress." Meeting the smile with a look of warmth, curious if her words made sense.

Softly laughing at the words, them feeling to off to do anything but.
"You speak as if that has not happened. As if my path thus far has been a gentle kind one, trust me when I say that those moments have come to pass, and did I get lost at times? Did I lose grip, went through things I never thought would be possible to rise from? Yes, but I was wrong, it only served to enrichen me." Letting her laughter die out, the moment of it gone. "It can be a nightmare, a horror, make you curse yourself, your fate, the moment, you name it. But as long as you survive it, and does not let it break you so does it hopefully leave you richer. When another makes you suffer well, what can you do, you take the punishment, then make certain to use it to make sure it does not happen again. Do all you can to surround yourself with the right people, and struggle on, growing, and keeping the core of who you are at every given moment." Each path, each twist and turn worth their name will be a shocker, of course they will feel like a setback, but overcoming and learning from it is how to grow. "Perhaps it would be truer to say that it does not cater to most, but did cater to you and I, so enthralled it had to play its tunes for us, to get closer and rise us as much as it possibly could."

Glancing out at the masses.
"I am certain that those who has been watching us, wishing they could approach with their flimsy words or just unable to look away will be the ones who curse their fates for not having the seats next to us, as the ones who will be able to see us will thank their lucky stars." Allowing a soft chuckle. "Not that I think that your seat neighbors have followed the play more than brief words here and there at best already." Who could look at a show with such a sight so close to them?

Lips parting to answer but quickly closing again, catching herself with a teasing smile.
"Your words does not dull no matter how many manages to strike just right, so does it seem you always have one more ready. Guess I shall have to do my best to not disappoint, and utilize them all until they are all under my control, until each drawback, or negative thing is mine to control." Until the social aspect of the night is truly under my command.

A glance to the doors.
"I do believe the interlude is beginning to draw to a close though, the actors ready to show us the conclusion soon."

[Verity Carmen]

A coy smile flicks across her perfect lips as the words of her cousin take a turn for the poetic. "That's better, I much prefer the idea of a waking dream to a final vision." The intimate, softer steps of their flirting a treat all in of its own, the passion taking new steps into something that even when alive a encounter so rarely could reach, and she holds in those moments of closeness. The gentle caress of lips always such a risk when coming from such as they another moment of proof that her cousin played dangerous and in ways that made the thrill all so much closer if not quite their to the real thing. "And so it would seem we have caught each other in a dance and swirl of magnificence." Parting only so much in so she could behold Alicia's eyes once more, a hand coming up to lightly run through her cousins hair.

It would seem her hinted message had been missed. "I do not speak of our sperate ends. But of that when each of us the centre of our story must continue down its path and in doing so separate us from the stories of those around us. Each serving only a fleeting role in the other as our own spins ever on." But yes for these few brief moments. "That does not mean the crossing can't hold a splendour, a magic unrivalled yet in the story or for many many chapters to come." And well for all she tried to do what kindred is not selfish at their core and she would take these moments, something to hold onto. A reminder not all who walked in the night were simple or bestial. "Indeed they will , indeed they will." And she does hope for cousins sake that she will find what she herself could not in this place.

The beautiful head leans ever so lightly to the side. "My fate? No I would never curse that. When I am wrong I am wrong it galls me and it burns but I accept it and move on. The actions of others are their own and sometimes you could have done no better." Understanding the cause of strife was important. "Yes survival is a goal but as is flourishing and that requires a certain degree of stability, consistency." Which is not present. Learning required a structure within to learn not random happenstance or changes on a whim. "I would say don't let it change you, not in ways you would regret." And as they seemed to now be agreed on they had all they needed in this world to need not suffer fools or the idiotic.

Now she chuckles once more musical and captivating. "Who could look away indeed, but yes it looks like its time to find our seats." Arm in arm leaning her own head against her cousins. "And then well." The seductive smile utterly unneeded but she was looking forward to what would come.

"Will you be sitting with us?" She directs the question to the quiet kindred that is Albert, he might not be much of one for conversation but she would extend the grace of company if he so wished it.

Yeah nearly at 30 days so I will wrap it with the next post if that's all good with you? Thank you for the scene! Are you okay with Verity/Alicia fading to black when the scene closes?

[Alicia Silvers]

Hand upon her own chest with a light lean back against that warm arm so delightfully wrapped around her.
"You a waking dream? Now who is putting themselves down, dreams be mere fragments of our minds, of something deeper beyond understanding. You on the other hand so much more than any dream can possibly contain." Allowing the rare treat of their closeness to wash over her for a moment, just lingering in her words to soak up this rare treat. "No you´re presence is enough to make one question if this is indeed ones finest of dreams, but your sheer wonder of self speaks that you are real with no dream ever standing the chance to be that divine." Half in a daze with the lingering sensation of their lips against one another, the stolen scent, the burning desire to allow their lips to truly meet, eyes wanting to close to just revel in it but not denying the movements of their dance with a shift in her position to match, eyes meeting her fair cousins once more with a burning passion within. "It seems you were right, reality does cater to us, placing us in each others paths to allow us to see what true flawlessness it can hold." Softly leaning into the hand with slightly parted lips, eyes locked upon her cousins fully aware of the dangerous game they played, still outdone by the rare sensation of such passion and feelings so seldom a part of their nights for more than a fleeting second.

Looking a bit surprised at the words, had her words been so missed, was that not exactly what she said just in far more flowery words?
"Are we not saying the exact same thing only in different words?" Letting the words linger for a moment. "Our meeting it´s splendor, a journey traversed through two tales beyond compare, to meet, to tell an emotional climax of seldom seen calibers, but alas as long as we wander this Earth our tales continues. Where the next chapter will guide us never a certainty." Was I really that unclear? "What the next chapter might hold an eternal enigma, what characters might linger or still be there or in what capacity an untold part of the tale, making it all the more grand to cherish the now, the moment and not just be stuck in neither the future nor the past." Am I truly confused or are we really not saying the same? Fully knowing that their lives, their existences were unpredictable, passion burned brightly within them yes more so than any other but things were fleeting that was their very nature and even more so her own since before that first night.

Years of honed training making her own head lean in the opposite direction to be able to keep her eyes upon the splendor before her, to not lose out, and subconsciously knowing the effects it tended to have.
"Sometimes you could not have done better today, hence giving you a chance to be better tomorrow, to improve yourself." A light smile upon her lips. "If you do not curse your fate, if you take the moment for all it can be you are truly strong and know its value, yet another proof of just how rare you are." Only in seeing the whole can we grow to our highest potentials. "Survival is the bare minimum, what be the point if you do not grow and flourish. We are far to much to just be dim lights in someone elses tale, forgotten and snuffed out, no we were born to be in center not to be Wallflowers simply in the shadows of others." Not always an easy task but that was their existence, that was what they were. "I shall not, growth shall be mine, change and adapt yes but only to someone I wish to be. Do keep the same true for yourself, it would be to grand a loss to see you change to someone you would not like." Keep that beast in check and let us meet in a century cousin, I shall look forward to see our respective growths then.

Leaning back against her cousin, slithering her arm down to intertwine their fingers with a deep look of excitement in turn.
"Then they will be the ones to curse their fates to not see the rest of the night." Gently raising her free arm to lightly twirl the edges of her cousins hair, ready to start walking back into the play and charm a seat change into being, to use the play as their own little teasing moment.

A quick look to Albert with a warm look upon her.
"I shall be reaching out to you in the near future, and hope we can have a nice talk."

All good to wrap, thank you for the scene. And yes all good to fade to black once the scene closes.

[Verity Carmen]

But now the time to freely talk was at an end as seats were taken and the play begun, would anyone have truly cared? well there was always one but it made for the all the more delicate steps in the danse between the two Daeva amidst the crowds and the seats the play relegated to the the backdrop of there own designs on the night.

The third act of the play rather lost on Verity in the game of teasing, flirting and deliberate intimacy involved in the game with the one who sits by her side wit her words and contacts stoking the imagination as her ego receives so much needed boosting and in turn plays back to the one just as fair.

When the play has finished Albert will be wished well and she will depart taking Alicia home fading the scene to black with the closing of the door.

That's 30 days thanks for the scene both!
