(1408) Yuki, Tracy, Penelope, Daniella

[Daniella Sage]

Even in her costume, one could not deny the graceful presence of Lady Saito.

Offering a polite bow to the Knight, Daniella smiled, “Lady Knight Saito, a good evening to you as well!” replied the Shadow, “Thank you! Deciding on the right costume was a tricky one. But yours,” she says, taking in the armor, “Is breathtaking! Is it real chain mail?” she asked, curious.

A respectful bow is also offered to Jennifer, “Madame Notary Hazelton! Thank you, your costume is great as well!” she says with enthusiasm. “I was drawn to her not only by the fact she is British, but that she has psychic abilities! Her story was fascinating to read, especially about how her mind was switched with anothers.”

And then Tracy, wait, Tracy?! As her Beast did its thing, growling and demanding to be allowed off its leash, she wondered what brought the Gangrel back to town.

Her eyes widened at the sight of the Gangrel, “Thank you Ms Burns! And let me say, I love your costume and am very delighted to see you have returned to the Domain! We have to get together one night and catch up!” she exclaimed with happiness.

She turns to Tracys companion with a friendly smile, accepting the offered hand, “Ms Rebane, what a pleasure to meet you. Welcome to Sacramento.” Replied the British Shadow with a very friendly tone. “Thank you, that is very kind of you to say. And I must say, I love your costume!” Her smile remains, “You are doing a fine job with manners.” She offered sincerely.

“Ms Burns, Ms Rebane, please allow me to introduce Lady Knight Saito of The Thorned Wreath, and Madame Notary Hazelton Priscus of The Nosferatu.” Her words were spoken with the respect each title and position deserved. “Lady Knight Saito, Madame Notary Hazelton, allow me to introduce Ms Tray Burns and Ms Penelope Rebane.”

“How has the Domain been treating you all since your arrival?” she asked, her eyes looking to each of the three Kindred.

[Yog-Sothoth]

"Certainly," the Daeva replied friendly to Jennifer's question. "I am a crusader or a Knight Templar whichever you prefer. Both have been labeled heroes and villains in their history by Jews, Muslims, and even other Christians. I thought it an interesting parallel for our condition. It was a topic I was very familiar with and had some of the materials already on hand. You look lovely yourself Madame Hazelton, if you would do me the honor of allowing me to return to you the same question?"

"Thank you. You are most kind," Yuki began with a smile to Danella. "It is, there are places that still require such ritual dress for their Knights for certain official functions so I keep some on hand. I also have some interest in weapons and armor." The small woman made a show of looking around them at the other gathered yokai and then down and her own outfit. "Had I realized that the dress code was more revealing than I thought with everyone else showing up as they have, I may have dressed differently. I feel a little over dressed."

"Ms. Burns, Ms. Rebane it is nice to meet you both," she finished with genuine pleasantness.

"The city has been quite entertaining at times, yet it is still quiet in some other aspects. All in all it has been a relatively pleasant experience thus far and I am still getting settled. I was able to make it to the clan gathering so my arrival was most fortuitous."

[Tracy Burns]

Tracy smiled and nodded to Daniella. "It is good to be back," she said in a sincere tone, her smile widening slightly. Her emerald green eyes widened slightly at the idea of having a night out in town with the Mekhet. "You know, I would rather enjoy such a thing," said the Gangrel, offering a nod in Daniella's direction. "Just let me know when and where!" She remained silent as the hostess of the evening greeted her friend, her attention shifting to the other two women that had been conversing with the Keeper.

Hmmm, interesting choice of costume, she thought to herself as she smiled at the woman dressed as a knight. The other woman she recognized from her previous stay in Sacramento, but could not recall her name. It wasn't like they had interacted much back then, and then the woman had disappeared for some time as far as the Gangrel could remember.

To her and Penelope's benefit, Daniella proceeded to introduce the pair. "It is a pleasure to meet you Lady Saito," she said to the Daeva, offering a polite nod and a genuine smile before turning towards the Priscus of Haunts. "And a pleasure to reacquaint myself with you, Madam Hazelton," offered the petite Savage, another smile offered to the other woman.

"I cannot complain," replied Tracy to Daniella's inquiry. "My return was slightly hectic, but now that I'm back in Sacramento, things have certainly improved." After all, she had been on the run with hunters on her tail for some time, but there had been no sign of them since her return, so she was glad for that. "I have been reaching out to old acquaintances, as well as meeting new Kindred in the Domain," she added after a moment's pause.

[Jennifer Hazelton]

"Thank you for the kind introduction." Jennifer smiles to Daniella warmly.

"Ms. Burns, I am glad that you have chosen to return to Sacramento. Ms. Rebane, it is wonderful to see you again." Jennifer shared the other woman's sentiment.


"Thank you, Lady Saito. I think it's a marvelous costume, perfectly suited." The Nosferatu states.
"I chose Oracle because of my affinity with computers." Jennifer replies to Lady Saito. Her voice is a snake slithering over dried grass, eerie and weird.

"I also felt a sympathy for her feeling of justice. I'd like to think that I share that with the character of Oracle."

[Daniella Sage]

Her eyes catch the wave the Reeve offers her, and she smiles bows her head and then waves back. Dillon Connery

She listens as Yuki describes her costume in more detail.

“It is a marvelous costume, and such detail!” she says, amazed it was real chain mail. It would seem something like chain mail would be heavy, but probably not to a Kindred or a Knight. At the mention of a dress code, Daniella shakes her head, “You are not overdressed. I blame society for bombarding us with super heroes and villians who are scantily clad.” And to be honest, she felt a little self-conscious in her costume.

As Tracy seemed to agree to a night out in the future, Daniellas smile widens, “Excellent! Do you have a current phone number where I can reach you?” she asks.

“Having recently returned myself, I can certainly understand how returning to the Domain can greatly improve things.”

Smiling as she listens to Penelope, “I am glad to hear the Domain has been welcoming. If I can be of any help with settling in, or anything else for that matter, please don’t hesitate to call me.” She offers sincerely.

“With so many interesting characters and costumes, I feel I will be reading quite a few comics in my future.” She says with a light laugh.

[Velma]

The Succubus joined the now larger group.

Her artificial nails gently touched Daniella’s shoulder as she approached her from behind. Velma was wearing her kindest smile which seemed to make a stark contrast with her Carnage mask… could the Carnage be kind?

The Ravager took a moment to notice all costumes, effort and dedication had been put into all of them… and the end results were definitely remarkable.

”Good evening everyone!” She begun once she had an opening into the conversation, taking a moment to share her smile with all the other five women.

”I would like to congratulate you all for this fine evening and for your efforts into preparing it! The Ballo truly looks alive now!” Her words were directed not to Daniella but to the entire group of kindred that was gathered around her…

[Jennifer Hazelton]

"hello priscus Star. Wonderful to see you. Yes, keeper Sage has set a marvelous canvas for us. " Jennifer greeted the succubus with a welcoming smile. Have you met miss Rebane ?

[Tracy Burns]

Tracy listened as the other woman spoke, paying close attention to what was being said. She nodded in agreement with Daniella's assessment about female characters. "It is true. My guess is that its got something to do with the genre's audience being primarily male," she said in regards to the whole superhero fandom. "However, things seem to be changing lately. I read somewhere that the character of Thor is now going to be a female." The petite Gangrel gave a little shrug after saying those words.

When asked about a phone number, she smiled at the Mekhet, offering a quick nod in response. "Of course!" she said to the woman, reaching into one of the empty gun holsters around her thighs. "Here, you can contact me at this number." The redheaded Savage offered her a little paper slip that had her cell number scribbled on it. "Indeed. Sacramento certainly offers a degree of safety and stability that any Kindred should be able to appreciate," offered Tracy in response to the Keeper's next words.

As Carnage approached the group, the Beast within her riled up once more. It vaguely remembered this other predator, but it did not stop the animal from snarling at its presence. Well, isn't this lovely? she thought to herself, taking a moment to keep the Beast at bay as she offered a smile to the newest arrival to their group. From previous interactions with the woman, Tracy was NOT a fan of Velma Star. That being said, she had learned that the Succubitch was now Harpy, thanks to the Seneschal's presentation.

Better tread with care Tracy.

"Good evening Harpy Star," she offered to the woman in red. "It is good to see you again." With that, the feisty Gangrel fell back to silence, wondering what had caused the Harpy to join them. She had been exchanging words with the Prince not long before, so maybe she was there on his behalf?

[Yog-Sothoth]

The Daeva nodded at Jennifer and her explanation of the costume. She did think it odd that an oracle would be good at computers and not have anything to do with prophesy and divination, but then again modern thinking kine were strange. "Both excellent and laudable affinities to have, especially these nights."

Yuki had her doubts about the theme when it was announced and wasn't sure just how well such a theme could be implemented. She also wasn't sure how well the others in the domain would take to it either, but from looking around the venue it looks like it took surprisingly well. The city must be young enough for such a theme to go over well and it was more tastefully decorated than she thought it would be.

"It is true that societal tastes have lost most or all restraint when it comes to sexuality, but it can be capitalized on too I feel."

Yuki noticed Velma's approach to the group and kept her pleasant smile on her face. She didn't know why, but the new Harpy seemed to give her the impression of watching a train wreck. It was loud and so entertaining you just couldn't pull you're eyes from it. She restrained her oni as it tried to lose itself and ravage the approaching ravager. The knight felt the prince would be quite put out if she ended up injuring or breaking his toy. She pointed out the Harpy as she joined them including her in the conversation.

"...and here is a perfect illustration of that. There is power in how a woman dresses and by mixing a look of nudity through body shape, but obscuring the actual flesh from sight our Harpy has assured that she cannot possibly be ignored. That is a strength in a way as well," Yuki said with a pleasant smile. "Lovely costume by the way Priscus Star...and congratulations on your new appointment as Harpy I am certain it is a position for which you are well suited."

"I quite agree the decoration for this evening was quite tastefully and respectfully done. You are to be commended Keeper Sage," Yuki said with a nod.
