Antoinette had Baron Quinton take her to the Asylum early as he still refused to let her have her car back. Apparently that was an argument for another time. Right now she needed to stay focused on the upcoming event.
She'd brought what she planned to wear with her in the Limo, a somewhat naughty Nina Ricci, and decided to change on the way there. Baron Quinton said absolutely nothing to her as she did. The tension between them just kept getting worse and worse. Eventually one of them would have to say something. But for now they were both silent. She slid out when they arrived at Asylum and didn't bother to look back, figuring it was better to lose herself in the details of the evening.
First she looked for Tilden, who she found in back organizing the talent as they trickled in for hair and make-up. She handed him a blue-tooth with a radio phone capacity and deputized him as her producer. Then she went to oversee the stage and runway set, made sure the lighting was right, the runway was the correct length and height, and all the other details had been properly handled.
She found Cozette and went over the reservations with her, making sure those who had asked for reserved seating were on the list, and any Kindred who asked for the special "Spiced Mike" drink would get it.
And after that, it was simply a matter of making sure the models were showing up, getting the right hair and make up and everything was in the correct order. And answering any questions that might come up.
She walked around talking to several people from the press who had already arrived and got ready for those who soon would.

Lioni entered her own club through the front door like a regular patron. Why? Because tonight she looked like a regular patron.
Gone was the long blond hair and the blue eyes. Instead, she had chosen to be a brunette with brown eyes tonight, with dark creamy skin. She wanted to watch and see what happened, without everyone knowing she was watching. She wanted to see how the night would go without her influence.
Arrogant? Maybe.
But that did not make her any less curious.
So, she entered the club, and found a seat, waiting with bated breath for the show to begin.

~Cozette~
Cozette had chosen to dress simply and comfortably tonight. She knew she'd be running around like a chicken and didn't want to worry about her clothes getting in her way. Simple, short boy-cut black shorts and a red tank top that matched her chain collar. A pair of thigh high stiletto boots that she could slide her bottle opener in completed the outfit. She had spent the day at the beach, so her hair was a tousled and wavy.
Cozette made sure everything was to Miss Antoinette's satisfaction. After ensuring it was, Cozette reiterated to let her know if there was anything Antoinette needed.
Cozette walked around, looking for Lioni. She wondered when she would get here. A brunette caught her eye.
Damn, that could be Lioni's sister.
She stopped dead in her tracks as she realized that it was Lioni. She walked up to her and smiled. With a slight bow, she asked,
"Evening, mistress of the night. How may I serve you?"

Lioni gave Cozette her coy smile.
"Oh I am fine thank you, love. Are you part of the show this evening?"

Char strides in with her flowing Armani Prive dress and her red hair flowing behind her. She looked like a goddess.
Char was so excited to see what Sacramento's fashion world had to offer. She was pretty sure it would be nothing like Italy's shows, but something was definitly better than nothing. She did love her clothes. She was however a little concerned about enetering a place where she knew a lot of new kindred would be.
Keep it under control Char. You need to meet some new faces. Just keep your little monster leashed.

Veritas wandered around the floor, looking for anything or anyone out of place. Most people either came in their Gothic best or thought this was the damn grammies. She, on the other hand, dressed as she always did and fit right in.
She watched people begin to file in, listening to their idle chatter. She wondered how long it would take for the upper crust of the kindred to start showing up. This was a Lord event after all. So, she expected to see all of them arrive.
Aye well, twon' be a perfect evenin' but ye'll make do lass. She thought to herself as she continued to survey the crowd.

Asa was trying not to hum. He knew it was annoying, and he knew he did it unconsciously when he was happy. Going to the Asylum tonight was probably the closest they'd come to having a 'date'.
Maybe that's why she wanted to come. There's really only so many bodies we can burn together before that gets old.
Stopping in front to have the car valet'ed, Asa walked over and helped Ishani out. Sports cars and beautiful women? Timeless.
He smiled mischievously at her as they went in, "I'm really glad you came... I've never had a girlfriend meet my family."

Aura arrives wearing a demurely lovely outfit, her stunning blond hair slicked downto the side. She moves with a dancer's grace, staring completely wide eyed at the rest of the club.
This is the most terrifying place I have ever been in my life, look at these people, good god! Have they no morals?
She stares at the outfits around her like she is on a foreign planet, so much skin, leather, some shiny fabric that leaves absolutely nothing to the imagination. She finds a wall to stand up against and hide from the freakshow.

It seemed a lot of the Kindred were here now. Antoinette stopped by to check in with Davis, to make sure he was OK and ask if she could bring him and his clan mate anything, and to let them both know how much she appreciated them coming and watching out for all of their safety. It really touched her. Of course she'd make sure he was excellently compensated, but still, a man of his stature should not be standing at the front door like this. She shook his hand and thanked him profusely.
Antoinette then made the rounds, talking with Priscus Asa and Ashani as they made their way in. They looked so lovely, and so incredibly in love. It made Antoinette's heart hurt actually. Or, where her heart should have been. She thanked them for coming and hoped they would enjoy the show.
She introduced herself to a Scottish Kindred named Veritas, with legs that wouldn't quit. Damn. And beautiful red hair down to, well, there. She would be a perfect model for the traditional Lash line and Antoinette wondered what her walk would be like on the runway. She gave Veritas her Lash card, hoping she might be interested in having some fun modeling for her some day.
Then Antoinette made her way over to another red head, this one completely different; an angelic face with eyes that seemed to haunt her very soul. While her beauty appeared innocent, there was something about her that Antoinette felt wary about. She enjoyed meeting Char, and drooled over her Armani Prive, but moved on quickly to greet other guests.

Neil entered the club dressed in one of his finest suits, if he had to attend he might as well look good. Stopping a moment as sees some of the outfits the women are wearing Neil smiles deciding it won't be that bad after all.
He takes a seat and looks around taking note of all the other kindred present, Well this seems to be a very big deal, I'm glad I didn't miss it. He thinks to himself as he settles in

Aura sees some of the Kindred taking seats, she picks the most normal looking of the group, a gentleman in a finely made suit, and seats herself beside him, hands folded demurely in her lap, the girl not wanting to dissapoint her sire (whom she cant seem to find though a certain alarmingly dressed woman reminds her terribly of Lioni.)
She sits down, waiting patiently.

When Antoinette introduced herself as the designer of the show, she was quite taken aback. She had not expected to see such a well known female desginer. Most of the italian designers were male. She really did love the outfit she had on, expecially the pants!
She decided to make her rounds.
She walked up towards a very attractive looking couple and beamed her most sweetest smile.(Ishani and Asa)
"Good evening. I don't believe we have met, I'm new to town. My name is Char."

Nicolo
Nicolo swept in donning a monotone Givenchy number:
and made his way up to his reserved seat, center front. Fashion was one of his guilty pleasures and he was thrilled when he heard little Antoinette was presenting a show locally. He wasn't sure what her lines were like, but still, it was all about being caught up in the moment. Couture was couture. Subjective as hell, and it was all art. Never wearable really. Just art to be appreciated. He settled in, preparing to be thrilled. There'd be time for socializing after wards.
Antoinette
Antoinette checked her watch and decided she'd better get this road on the show. Climbing up on the stage in her impossibly high heeled boots, she prayed she wouldn't fall, and grabbing the microphone, she turned herself to address the entire club – the stage lights white hot and blinding her from seeing much of anything really. She could tell people were still entering the front door, late stragglers, but she decided to go ahead and make the introductions and start.
“Hi… Hi there, everybody." She waited for everyone to quiet down a little. "Thanks so much for coming down here on such short notice. Wow. If you’d asked me a week ago if I’d be putting on a show here tonight, much less with an entirely new collection, I would have told you you’d lost your fucking mind!” She waited as the crowd laughed a bit. “But here I am. And I have only one person to thank for it, really. Gee, thanks Baron Quinton.” She gave a sarcastic smile, but put her hands together to signal applause and the club broke into applause. Antoinette then searched around, her eye looking directly out into the intensely hot lights, but she couldn't see him. He hadn't come. He didn’t even fucking come – he’s that pissed off.
Crestfallen, she let her eyes fall to the ground for a moment, but chokes back her sadness and soldiers on. “Anyway, I’ve been having some crazy dreams lately. And I’ve crafted this line, well, two lines, actually, after my dreams. The first is a connection with 18c France, and the other dream has to do with Architects. That line I dedicate tonight to my good friend. I love you Quinton.”
Antoinette put the microphone down and hastily left the stage. The music started; a heavy, techy, European pop sound that seemed to snap with the step of each and every leggy model, and out they came, gliding to the beat, their make-up concealing their life to bring them closer to Antoinette’s death. She was in love with each and every one, each and every piece. But most especially the architect pieces, with which she felt a special connection between them, and Quinton.

Char heard Antoinette starting to introduce her show.
"Oh..I'm sorry. I guess we will have to talk after the show. I look forward to meeting you."
She turned from the beautiful couple and headed to her seat. She had pulled some string early on and recieved a seat right in the front row. She headed toward her assigned seat and noticed a well dressed fellow in the seat next to her.
She nodded, gave him a sweet smile, and sat waiting for the show to start.

((Sorry I'm late, computer problems.))
Not for the first time, Martin wondered what drew the kindred to the fetish scene the kine enjoyed so much. Was it that the attitudes of the mortals involved were that much more extreme? Was it the ready willingness some humans displayed here, the urge to be enthralled and dominated?
No matter. This was not a time for philosophy.
He came in as Antoinette was speaking, listening as he found his seat. He looks to the stage in surprise as she mentions the content of her dreams, taking a seat near the back so he can watch the show but not have too much attention drawn to himself... after the Ventrue meeting he thought it best, perhaps, to lay low.

Aura's eyes go wide, taking in the beauty of the show, fascinated with the men's line, reminding her of home a bit really, and totally in love with the simplistic dark pieces.
She notices Nicolo in the front row, her gaze going brighter, Lioni isn't here tonight! I will be free to speak with him...

After it was all over, and she had congratulated and thanked everyone back stage, Antoinette made her way back into the club to do her final socializing before she called it a night. The week had taken a toll on her, and the tension she felt between her and her Sire wasn't helping.
As she was walking toward the far end, her blood raced in a heightened awareness as she saw him, sitting and watching her approach. Had Baron Quinton been there all along? She continued to approach, then simply stood before him. She often wondered if he knew her thoughts, like the vampire sires did in the movies, but she never asked. She didn't really want to know.
Antoinette quietly sat down next to Baron Quinton, very close, and looked out at all the people in the club. She trained her eyes on everything his eyes fell upon, watching as he did. And she waited for him to speak. She could wait a Requiem. It mattered not to her.

Once everyone starts mingling about, Aura takes her chances with being in the huge crowd of people dressed like freaks and worse.
She keeps her head down as she gently glides along between people, miraculously not bumping anyone as she slinks through the crowd trying to get to the man dressed in black couture.

Marius had come to the fashion show just before it had started, and didn't have time to introduce himself to anyone. He sat back and enjoyed the show, which was surprisingly professional even compared to his Paris standards.
When the show was over he got up and decided to mingle a bit. He looked around and immediately his eyes fell on a beautiful young woman with blond hair like an angels. He was stunned, and couldn't help but be drawn to her.
Without a second thought he walked over to her to introduce himself.
"Good evening." As he stood in her presence he was momentarily lost for words, and only barely managed to recover before it became obvious.
"I do not believe we have had the pleasure." he gave a soft bow and smiled at her his warm and sincere smile, "My name is Mars Delven."
((Attn: Aurelie. Since you are French as well, you will no doubt hear a slight French accent in the way Mars pronounces his name.))

Aura pauses in her beeline for Nicolo.
Bonjour Monsieur... she murmurs, struck by his handsomeness, she offers him her hand.
No, we have not, I am Aurelie D'or....I am very pleased to meet you...

He takes her hand, kissing its back gently and appropriately. Hearing her strong French accent, Marius immediately switches to what he considers his second mother tongue.
"Le plaisir est le mien." The pleasure is mine.
((Marius continues the conversation in French. For simplicities sake, I will write in English though.))
"It is wonderful to meet someone who speaks French. Might I ask where you are from, mademoiselle?"
