WHO: Jade & Prometheus WHEN: Saturday night WHERE: Prometheus' and then a gallery WHAT: Schmoozing with the wealthy
Jade had told Prometheus that she'd be at his place before seven, but it was half past by the time she actually pulled up outside. The problem was the clothes. As much as Jade loved the idea of dressing up and playing the role fancy lady, a life time of living out of the back of a car with hippies who rejected all things material had meant she'd really bypassed all understanding of dress ups. She was pretty sure she was overdressed tonight as she made her way into the studio with the key he'd given her.
"Hey, I'm here!" she called as she reached the stairs and started coming up. "I'm so fucking late!"
Prometheus had expected Jade to run late, and either way it was in style to arrive a bit later anyway. It gave him time to clean himself up a little and dig out his suit. He hadn't worn the thing in ages so when he heard Jade he poked his head out of the bathroom door and smiled, "it's alright."
He stepped out of the bathroom and opened his arms to see if she'd like his outfit. "You look gorgeous, do I match at least?"

Wrapping her arms slowly around him, Jade kissed him deeply in greeting and then drew back with a frown, pulling away from him so she could see in the bathroom mirror behind him. "I think I'm overdressed though. I'm not good at dressing for things. I brought another one with me in my bag. Shit-ass-fuck-damn, no, this thing is too... Academy Awards looking for a gallery."

[info]firestealer 2011-12-07 02:24 pm UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select Smiling he returned the kiss before setting his hands on her shoulders, "you look fine. If you're overdressed so am I. You'll make an impression. Everyone will be in awe of you and be enraptured." Smiling he set his fingers on her cheeks.
He released her and smiled, "come on let's knock them all dead. You'll have a list of suitors by the end of the evening."

[info]heliolatrous 2011-12-07 02:29 pm UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select Jade smiled at him, finding herself more than happy to be wooed right now. "Alright, if you're sure." She slipped her hands beneath his jacket and along his sides. "Lets go before I decide to get you out of this very attractive suit too soon. Besides," she purred, leaning up to kiss his throat, her lips traveling up along to his ear. "Why would I want any other suitors when I have my Titan?"

[info]firestealer 2011-12-07 02:34 pm UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select He shrugged, giving her a teasing smile. "I just like the view, but yes I'm sure." He smiled to the touches and her comment, leaning down to give her a slow kiss. "You are right in that regard." Smiling he motioned her to the door, "let's go. Besides I figured if I was to be a bargaining chip, I'd make myself impressive."

[info]heliolatrous 2011-12-07 02:41 pm UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select She led Prometheus down to the car, talking about the gallery show they were going to - an art-deco inspired sculpture collection - and the things her parents wanted to do when they got into town on Tuesday - introduce them to people, attempt to not let them realise how completely broke she currently was.
When they reached the gallery she parked outside and watched the door for a moment. "I think I'm overdressed," she said, hands still on the wheel. Then she turned to grin at Prometheus. "Okay. Let's fuck these bitches for their cash."
She stepped out of the car and locked it behind her before taking Prometheus' hand and squeezing it in her own. She watched an elderly couple enter in front of them and muttered, "There are old people, man. I don't know what to even do with old people."

[info]firestealer 2011-12-07 02:54 pm UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select He'd tried to be as quietly supportive as he could when they drove. She seemed intimidated by these people and he'd never seen her like that. So when they left the car he set his hand on the small of her back before letting her take it. Smiling he curled his fingers around her and gave her a grin, "I'm old. You know what to do with me just fine."
Grinning he went to tug her into the gallery. He wasn't too fond of art deco but it was sculptures and he did like those. Once inside he set his hand back on the small of her back. "Just look pretty and smile. They'll run over themselves to give you money." He glanced around before motioning to the bar, "let's get you a drink."

[info]heliolatrous 2011-12-07 03:07 pm UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select "With you I just have to touch your dick," Jade smirked at him. "I don't think that works when I'm trying to make a good impression on strangers. Or it does, but it's the wrong impression tonight."
Inside the idea of a drink was a very very good one - even though she'd had a few shots before leaving the house - and she grabbed a glass of white wine and looked across the room and smiled when she saw a man approaching who she recognized. "Shit, okay, time to pretend I'm a brilliant artist that they all want to sponsor."
She introduced Prometheus to the man as 'my boyfriend Theon' and made sure to mention that he was an amazing sculptor himself.
For the next hour and a half that cycle continued until finally Jade managed to slip away into a side courtyard and drag Prometheus with her. She didn't think they were supposed to be out here, but there was only so much socializing she could handle. "Jesus Christ," Jade said as she took a deep breath of the night air. "Watching my mouth is exhausting."

[info]firestealer 2011-12-07 10:47 pm UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select He laughed to that, "I'd be a little sad if you started doing that, but you'd be surprised." Still it seemed to calm her a bit and he was an expert at feeling intimidated around others. He'd spend decades simply not knowing how to handle humans.
He kept his hand on her back as she took the wine, smiling at the gentleman who approached. He was only a little pleased at the introduction, and was all too happy to turn up the charm and talk to the mortal. While he was solitary, he could be rather charming when he wished it.
He had followed her, "try doing it in the Victorian era when you are a Greek and married to a rather prim woman. Now that's fun." He gave her a worried look, "alright though? We can slip out if you need to. I know the feeling of feeling very intimidated by so many people."

[info]heliolatrous 2011-12-09 03:12 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select Jade gave Prometheus an amused smirk. "You married a prim Victorian lady? Fucking hell, no wonder you were so rusty when I bagged you." She leaned in to kiss him though.
"It might be time for us to get out of here though," Jade agreed, wrapping her hands around his tie and giving it a slow, firm pull towards her. Ties were nothing more than socially acceptable collars and chains after all. "And it might be time for me to get you out of this very sexy suit."

[info]firestealer 2011-12-09 03:21 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select Smiling he returned the kiss, "not just any prim Victorian Lady. I'm Queen Elizabeth's ex." He winked to her. "I should tell you that story sometime." He was bragging, only a little.
He set his hands on her waist and let her pull him closer, using the movement to slide his hands down her back. "Can't say I disagree there. And for the record I was only rusty because I'd kept to myself for a while."

[info]heliolatrous 2011-12-09 03:34 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select "Good," Jade said with amusement, "because this sounds like a story I need to hear." Things like this kept happening in her life. All of the historical things and people she thought she knew about turned out to be wars started by gods or empresses who were banshees or, apparently, Greek Titans who'd married Virgin Queens. Someone really needed to write history books for the people who were in the know.
Jade bit her lip and pressed against Prometheus as she whispered against his ear. "If I wasn't wearing a six hundred dollar dress and trying to make a good impression, I'd already have my hands down your pants."

[info]firestealer 2011-12-09 03:43 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select He chuckled to her comment, "And if that wasn't a six hundred dollar dress and I hadn't promised to be good I'd be taking that dress off." Grinning he kissed her before releasing her, "so stop tempting me to shock all these people and let's drive home. I'll tell you all about that later."

[info]heliolatrous 2011-12-09 03:47 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select "Probably a good idea," Jade said a little breathlessly as she drew back, taking his hand in hers and sliding it up the outer side of her thigh where the slit on the dress lay. "Did I mention I wasn't wearing any underwear tonight?" she asked innocently.

[info]firestealer 2011-12-09 03:51 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select "Now you mention that," he toyed his fingers along her skin for a moment before drawing back. "If I didn't know better I thought you were trying to get into trouble."

[info]heliolatrous 2011-12-09 03:53 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select "I never have to try," Jade smiled brightly and then took his hand and sighed. "Come on," she said, pulling him back inside. "The sooner I make my goodbyes the sooner I can go down on you in the car."

[info]firestealer 2011-12-09 04:01 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select Laughing he shook his head and let her take his hand. He followed her inside and grinned to her suggestion. "Considering one of us has to drive that'll be interesting." But not necessarily something he was going to say no to. Gently he nudged her to the crowd. "Go say goodbye."
