THE GALA ON ADSUM (Mingle Log)

[serpentis]

Who: Anyone and Everyone!
Broadcast: Nope!
Action: A ballroom on Adsum
When: 2/21, Evening-Night



[And the night has arrived! Dorian put out an open invitation, and anyone who is interested is welcome to dress up and meet up for a night of dancing and fawning over each other. Make sure to wear your best, everyone! It's a very special episode of Drift Fleet!]

((OOC: There was an open invitiation, but even if your character never replied or has had personal contact with Dorian, feel free to assume he's let them come along or be dragged along by someone else! I'll be tagging some threads, but if you want a thread to be closed, please just say so in the header.))

Tek; Open

[heresyandlace]

[Tek wouldn't have missed this for the world, and he is there to be seen. he's dressed impeccably, in fine, fitted layers of black and lavender--with tiny, glittering accents of red to bring out the rosier shades in his eyes--with tall-heeled boots and jewelry to match.

and his face has been tended to with just as much care, smoky khol and touches of color around his eyes.

he's riding the line between classy and a tart, and he's enjoying every minute of it. as long as he's attracting attention of some kind, he's calling the night a success.]

[onlyanapple]

[Like Crowley's going to miss out on this. He saunters over, smirk as always, firmly in place. ]

Aren't we looking fancy tonight?

[heresyandlace]

[oh, good. he would have harassed him endlessly if he'd been too boring to make an appearance.

and Crowley may not have had a cloud of pheromones following him around anymore, but he still gets a sly smile and a good glance up-and-down as he approaches.]

Oh, I never miss a chance to look good. ...And you're not looking too shabby yourself.

Good to see that you've made it out of bed, at least.

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley would be extremely upset if he hadn't got such a look. A demon has his pride, after all. ]

Well that goes without saying.

[He gives a sharp toothed grin, raising his glass of punch. ]

Not even I'd miss a party.

[heresyandlace]

[oh, he does like the sharp teeth, and he can't help but match it.]

Oh, but you've been so especially secretive lately, I didn't expect you to show up.

[onlyanapple]

Well, that was the downside of having everyone want to sleep with me. Got tiresome, eventually.

[heresyandlace]

[heh. his grin only sneaks wider.]

Ah, I suppose it might... if you aren't used to dealing with that on a regular basis.

[onlyanapple]

It's less not being used to it and more of the fact it was clearly Atroma-based shenanigans causing it.

[heresyandlace]

Mm, of course. What fun is there in a rigged game?

[ladiesss]

[she sneaks up on his side... looking very polished and pretty herself, though not nearly as flashy as Tek is managing to be. she's got a smile as gets close enough to be noticed.]

Wow, you really went the whole nine yards, huh?

[heresyandlace]

[he glances to the side--and, oh! she gets a look of approval herself, complete with raised brow and a look passed up and down.]

Speak for yourself. ...I hardly recognized you.

[ladiesss]

Oh, wow. That's almost a compliment. If you really squint at it.

[she giggles... still looking at Tek's outfit. wow, all those little red bits... he really did good...]

I guess this is totally your thing though, huh?

[heresyandlace]

Oh, of course it is.

[straightening up even more, standing tall and completely at ease in these surroundings]

I make it a point to show up and make an impression at these sorts of things-- whether invited or not.

[ladiesss]

Nice. Well, you look really good. If I was a lady I'd totally have the hots for you.

[which is really a dangerous and weird thing to say. but. good mood. she thinks it's a joke enough to not... be weird...]

[heresyandlace]

[he nods for about half a second. then comes the slight squint as he combs over those words again.

but yeah, no, it still makes enough sense coming from her. and it's funny. so, instead of dwelling on the specifics, he grins a little bit.]

Oh, that reminds me... you should see my dress.

[ladiesss]

You... Have a dress?

[...give her a moment... as it dawns on her...]

You have a whole other outfit?

[heresyandlace]

Of course I do.

[he really shouldn't be so deeply pleased with himself, but he totally is.]

It wouldn't do to show up to an event like this half-dressed, would it?

[transferedfate]

[Tek might hear the sound of cheap dress materials rustling before he even sees her. But suddenly, when he doesn't expect it, a teenage girl is standing in front of him, holding out a thermos. It looks like a standard issue thing, something that anyone could find on the spaceship. But if he opens it and looks inside he'll smell spirits that could be procured on the nearby moon.]

Here, this is for you.

[GREETINGS? INTRODUCTIONS? CONFIRMING THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY THE RIGHT GUY? NAAAAAAAH]

[heresyandlace]

[oh, the rustle of cheap cloth hurts him so, and he's wincing inwardly as it gets closer.

he doesn't expect the person to suddenly appear in front of him, however, so he's left blinking down at her in surprise. the fact that she's offering him something illegal makes it even more surprising. being the creature that he is, with an affinity to all sorts of poisons, he can sense what it is long before the smell ever clues him in.

and he's confused.]

...Is it, now?

[transferedfate]

I wanted to get this over with as soon as possible. [she doesn't like the idea of not making good on a bet, so she crosses her arms]

At let me tell you, it was a pain to get this here.

[heresyandlace]

...What is this for?

[because he has not placed her as familiar at all, and cannot imagine what he's done to deserve this.

maybe he should start using sticky notes for some of his more minor schemes.]

[transferedfate]

The--

[her face gets a little red as she starts getting minor worked up. SHE BUSTED ASS FOR THIS BOTTLE.....]

The bet! When I first woke up here we made a bet if this place was real or not!

[heresyandlace]

Oh...

[yep, it takes a second, but all of the pieces suddenly click together a moment later. he does remember, and an abrupt grin marks the moment!]

--Oh! Yes! Excellent... So, I suppose this is where I get to say 'I told you so.'

[transferedfate]

Yeah yeah, geez I shouldn't have said anything. [she sits down heavily in a chair that's close by]

Since you're 'Mr. Who Knows What's Going On', what is this party even for?

[heresyandlace]

[he settles where he stands as if they're good acquaintances, perfectly comfortable.

and once he takes a glance to make sure that no guards are looking their way, he opens the thermos again and swirls the contents, taking another sniff.]

The same thing that every party is for. Someone wanted to show off, and pretend for a night that the world is perfect.

[and then he... offers the thermos in her direction?]
