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.))

I guess that's true ... After all, I'm sure there are quite a few people who wouldn't be able to pull off your look either.

DAMN I opened this and never replied to it while in Florida...

[heresyandlace]

I do try to be a hard act to imitate.

[sure, he'll take that as flattery. why not.]

...And if you commissioned your outfit, does that mean you designed it yourself, or did you leave that up to someone else?

[ino]

They mostly did the designing and picking the colors and all of that. I asked for it to be a little more open here, though. [ She indicated the part where her stomach is peeking out ]

[heresyandlace]

Oh really? It fits you so well, I thought for sure you must have had a significant hand in the concept of it.

[he does nod... toward her midriff, though.]

It's a nice touch, at any rate.

[ino]

Garak just did a really good job, I think ... but thanks.

[ ... A little uncomfortable here. She's not one to turn down a compliment, but there is just something about this guy that makes her uncomfortable ]

So, uh ... I never got your name.

[heresyandlace]

[if he notices her discomfort at all, he doesn't show it. just perfectly at ease, as if they've been acquaintances for a while.]

Oh, I'm terrible sorry. My apologies.

[he holds out his hand.]

You may call me Tek.

[ino]

Nice to meet you, Tek.

[ .. shakes his hand? She's used to the bowing thing when you meet someone, but. There we go. ]

I'm Ino.

[heresyandlace]

It is a pleasure to meet you, Ino.

[he seems to mean it, at least.]

Are you enjoying yourself, here? I'd nearly lost hope that we would ever be taken anywhere so grand.

[ino]

It's nice enough. Kind of reminds me of where I came from.

[ That's not necessarily a good thing, but -- at least everyone seems to be having fun, and at least she's feeling pretty ]

The moons sure do seem to hate each other, though. It's kind of odd.

[heresyandlace]

Oh, you think so? I think it makes perfect sense.

[and he'll just invite himself to elaborate, instead of waiting for her to do it]

It's human nature to polarize until animosity develops. It was bound to happen between three populations like this.

[ino]

... Well, I guess it's not the hating so much that's strange. But there's obviously a huge demand for the things they aren't supposed to have ... it seems pointless to pretend like it's so taboo.

[heresyandlace]

You don't have that sort of thing where you're from?

Religious taboos can be terrifically powerful things, especially when they blanket whole societies.

I used to see it all the time, back home.
