Open? to EVERYONE!

It takes a lot of pull to get heavy hitters from all sides in one place. Most would never dream of stepping foot somewhere where they are not guaranteed the upper hand. Then again, when you're in a power struggle, it never hurts to show up at a fund raising party where it is much, much easier to make sure law officials and other men with power might just lean on your side. Everyone gets a little more chatty with a few drinks in them.

The old renovated hotel is located just fifteen miles off the coast of Boston Harbor. While not open for business, they have turned the entire downstairs into a huge ballroom. The upstairs has been roped off due to renovations still going on, rather preferring to keep the guests in secured areas. In a building built in the 1900's, it's a scene straight out of an old movie. Antique chandeliers hang from the ceiling, with a large fully stocked bar against one wall, and tables lining around a massive dance floor in the middle. Servers are dressed in the "penguin suit" attire, their entire purpose to make the party perfect for the guests.

Nothing less than black ties, tuxedos, and designer gowns is expected, and everyone will just see who has the deepest pockets in Boston. Everything is set and polished, ready for what promises to be the event of the season.

(mod note; feel free to put up threads from anywhere in the noted areas, or even with your characters on the launch boats on the way over. In the 'subject' line of your thread, make sure to put who it is open to, and where your character is. Threads will go up at NOON tomorrow, starting the storm/blackout. Sunday is when the NPC guests will start disappearing. This drama can and will go on into next week, but for schematics of the game, it will all be taking place on "March 10", over the course of the evening/night/morning. HAVE FUN! )

ANTOINETTE, AURELIA, LUCAS & RAUL (On the move! Boat to Foyer? Beyond?)

She been to a lot of formal events, and Antoinette Wellington had been known to become slightly demonically wretched during the preparation. She had a tendency to fret, quickly becoming irate about small details; did her dress make her look like a street-walker? Did the bobby pins in her hair look too pointy? Was she likely to fall out of her dress at any point during the night? Would her heels make her taller than Lucas? Dressing for a formal even was not easy, but Antoinette was fairly confident that tonight she had managed to scrub up quite nicely, without instilling Aurelia with fear, or at least not too much.

Antoinette reached down and pulled up the train of her dress, “I should have employed someone to do this for me, you just never think of those things when you buy a dress” she observed with a chuckle as she and Aurelia followed the rest of the formal-attired crowd and made their way towards the hotel, “What do you suppose the going rate for a job like that would be?” she was in good spirits, she would of been hard-pressed to think of a reason why she shouldn’t be; she was in good company and she was off to meet up with Lucas.

Aurelia, on the other hand, had been to her prom. Which, all things considered, hadn't been really formal. God knew she'd gotten away with dressing like a street walker with that. But not for this. Lucas probably would've killed her if she'd worn what she'd debated on wearing.

Still, despite her inexperience with real 'black tie' events, Lia was happy with her final choice in a dress. And Antoinette had approved, which was good. It wasn't too stifling, but it was pretty classy, for a twenty-four year old. And it was soft! But the best part about her dress was the fact that some of her favorite ink still peeked out. The Marilyn Monroe tattoo, the star on her ankle, and probably bits and pieces of the text on her shoulder. That was enough for her. Essentially, it was the best of Lia's world and Antoinette's world!

Vibrant blues glanced down towards Antoinette's train, and she smirked. "I have no idea. But, you know, I could solve that problem for you." The mischief in her eyes was enough to imply that she didn't mean by holding the train for her. "C'mon, A. You'd look incredibly hot in about half of that dress."

Once spoken, she darted a few steps away, a major feat in high heels, and winked. Her spirits were as good as Antoinette's. As well as they should have been. After a moment, she darted close again and glanced ahead towards the rest of the formal-attired crowd. "So, you don't think Luc's gonna kill me for this, do you?" She gestured to her dress. Because, for all she knew, Luc would've made her wear a sack so that no boys ended up staring at her, haha.
