{V:tM - IC} New York by Night

[Catulle]

Caitlyn, Max, Nathaniel and Vychtorya

Nathaniel answered Caitlyn's question with a slight smile, "They're the legal department. Mr Vanderweyden is the senior defence attorney and Ms Sturbridge is in research."

 

[Catulle]

Jemal and Sabrina

The car pulled up by the back entrance of the club and one of the drivers got out, though didn't open the rear door just yet. The other called through to Jemal on the intercom, "We've arrived, sir. Will you go in now or would you like some more time?"

(OOC - nothing to see here...I forgot to log reaper out - grrrrr)

 

[Vychtorya]

"I have not been long here in New York, but I have been to many a club seeking out new performers. You are definitely the most talented singer I have had the pleasure of meeting since my arrival. But I have enjoyed your company as well tonight. Perhaps we might speak again later?"
Vych hands Caitlyn one of her cards – the name on the card says club "Antiquities".

 

[Vychtorya]

Max smiles at Vych, realising how small he feels in her presence. He comes back to his senses and replies to Vych's question.

"Yes, quite enjoyable," he says, "I particularly enjoyed the music, but then again, who didn't?"

Vych replies to Max with a twinkle in her green eyes and a flirty smile on her lips,
“Mmm hmmm….quite enjoyable.”

Then, hearing Caitlyn’s comment, she too turns her attention toward the man and woman. Vych chuckles to herself (non-audibly of course) and thinks, “Wrinkled….what a waste of a beautiful, expensive suit.”

"Of course," Caitlyn replied graciously with a warm smile. She exchanged cards with Vychtorya. Thank you, Mr. Nathaniel Montegue! Another opportunity to network a network. The night so far had been absolutely amazing.

Caitlyn blushed under Max's praise, her cheeks turning a faint hue of pink. After smiling gratefully at Max, she turned her attention to the new arrivals to try and get her embarrassment and pleasure at the compliment under control.

"The legal department?" Her dark brows furrowed slightly as she gazed at the indicated two. "Oh, are you all part of a corporation? Mr. Valentine didn't really go into much detail about what this banquet is for." She laughed lightly, brushing a stray lock of black-auburn hair from her eyes. "And here I thought this was just a party. Is this the annual stockholders gathering?"

 

[Festy_Dog]

Max hears Caitlyn's question but isn't too troubled by it.

Yes, stick holders, rich parents = stock holders. Err, they bought me some stock a couple of years back as a birthday gift! Done. S, I hope this doesn't get too complex.... Whoa! Did Vychtorya just do something flirty? Damn I'm lucky tonight!

Gabriel, Hellene, Mazz and Valentine

Hellene was quick to react to the pair's approach, greeting them with a smile clearly intended for her clanmate, though her eyes settled on Gabriel with a finality that was not entirely pleasant. Mazz, in contrast, remained rapt in thought, only reacting when the two were stood by the low table that the harpies hadn't left all night, content for now to play host to their own court-within-a-court.

"My dear Hellene, might I introduce to you Mr Gabriel Cross of the Tremere, war veteran," Valentine's face betrayed his amusement, though the elegant, though plain woman could not have noticed, so intent was she on the newcomer "Gabriel, I'd like you to meet Hellene Panhard, childe of Michaela." Hellene extended a formal hand to Gabriel.

Gabriel bent and planted his cold lips on the back of the woman's hand. "It is a pleasure Ms. Panhard."

"The other," Valentine continued with an offhand gesture, "is Mazz, whom I do suspect has slipped into torpor for want of excitement." The reclining man straightened somewhat at this, brushing hair back from his faceand glancing up at Gabriel, whom he greeted with a smile and a nod.

"Mazz..." He returned the nod. "Likewise a pleasure."

He pulled his cane aroud to the front and leaned on it slightly with both hands. "It is a shame we haven't met before. Have you been in the city long", he asked to neither of them in particular.

 

[Jemal]

"Another moment. I'll alert you when We are ready to go in." Jemal says to the sudden interuption, then flicks the intercomm off, and turns back to Sabrina.
"I'm sorry, I should explain a bit more.. There are some people who know about us, but most don't, and miss Caitlyn is one who doesn't. Only feed from those who are willing, I don't know if she would understand." he smiles down at her. "But we'll be back at the party soon.. You need to feed now, this is more important even than being a few minutes late to the party. If you go too long without drinking, you will feel the hunger more and more, until eventually it will take over. That is how people get hurt, so we must keep it from happening. I know a few people here, perhaps one will allow you to drink from her."

He gently removes her from his lap as he prepares to get out of the car. "Do you understand at least some of what I'm saying, my dear? I know it's an awful lot to think about."

 

[Shalimar]

"Ok, I understand. I promise not to drink unless the person wants me too. Besides it would be rude to do it any other way wouyldn't it?" Sabrina replies, sounding upset that 'miss Cate' doesn't know and wouldn't be able to share in this whole new world with her. Well if she doesn't know, I'll just have to tell her She thought brightly, though it wuld be fairly easy for her brother to read her emotions and know what she was planning to do.

Her Thirst surges with in her as she is reassured she is going to get something to drink soon. But she is able to slide it back down and ignore it for the moment with only Jemal presant. She wipes at her eyes drying them, as her mother had told her, certain women could cry in public, but she wasn't one of them. Her hands come away from her face tinged with red, with blood.

"Jemal, whats happening, why am I bleeding?" she asks frantically, noticing the spots on Jemal's shirt, they could be covered by a coat, but to the one who was bleeding, they were disturbing none the less.
