WHERE: A grand ballroom
WHAT: A ~~distraction~~ masquerade!
WARNINGS: TBD

MASQUERADE

Distraction? What distraction?
This is simply a party for the New York Kindred!

Garnet rented out one of the fanciest ballrooms in the city for this event. Grand staircase entrance? Check. Gold gilding everywhere? Check. Blood from the bag and vein? Check. If someone doesn't have a mask, the hostess has many spares, all curated from either her personal collection or friends from the Paris court. Ghouls and human thralls are invited as well.

Requested dress code is anything dressy from the kindred's era. If not, a suit will do just fine. Be as overstated as you wish! In need of something sparkly to go with your look? The hostess also has you covered!

All Elysium rules apply.

Vampires all over the city wake the evening of the 19th to an elegant invitation with the details to the party set for an hour after sunset. At the bottom, in block font instead of script, is Garnet's contact information, just in case of questions. Of course, in her true fashion, the paper is framed in a sparkle that, thankfully, doesn't come off like real glitter. From all accounts, it looks like something that was in the plans for months, rather than the few short days it took. Once a Toreador has a project in their hands, they don't let go, so to speak. One is even sent to the Prince and Primogen, in case they decide to make an appearance.

While there is a DJ, there will also be a string band in attendance. Both will take requests. Dance, drink, be merry. Not too merry, of course, there are eyes everywhere, watching and waiting. © tessisamess

"I would not put it past her or any of the Primogen in being involved." It's what he and Kjell had already suspected and now this. If not Maya then one of the others but right now all signs were pointing to the Malkavian Primogen. And if it wasn't the network, she was still up to something. Or knew something anyway. It was something they were going to have to figure out.

Amadeus wouldn't have minded at all staying here the rest of the night, just the two of them. He knew though that sooner or later someone was going to get curious enough to invade quiet they had managed to steal for themselves so far. Those who had noted them disappearing up the stairs would be keeping an eye out for their return, all so that the gossip mill could be fed. He was determined to squeeze a few more minutes out of it as he slid his fingers up into Ariel's hair and returned the kiss.

"As much as I hate to," Amadeus started, still not moving away just yet, "we should probably head back downstairs. For now. Then I'm thinking we can really give them something to talk about by ducking out early and disappearing for the rest of the night."

Of course, the Primogen would be involved. Why wouldn't they? But the political intrigues of Kindred had often gone over his head. He had long since learned to just expect the worst. It was easier than hoping for the best. For now, he would just kiss Amadeus and forget the intrigue - just for a little while - as he pulled open the buttons of the Tremere's vest. If Ariel was going to have undone buttons, so was Amadeus.

"Or we could just leave now," Ariel offered, not pulling away either, "Duck out the back, head to yours... You can finally get me out of these clothes like you've been trying to do this whole time." Maybe, just maybe, he was encouraging by unbuttoning Amadeus's shirt now, starting from the bottom. He wanted to just rip it open but if they did end up going back and pretending for a little bit longer, well, Amadeus would need his buttons.

"Can you blame me?" Amadeus was sure that at least half the Kindred downstairs wished they could do the same. "I've been torn been getting you out of your clothes or to just bite your nipples through that shirt. Of course, there's always the option of both." Both were sounding like a really good option right now.

Ariel's suggestion was sounding really good right about now as well. Especially as Amadeus glanced down at those fingers undoing the buttons of his shirt and then back up at Ariel. "I think I could be persuaded. His fingers still Ariel's hair, he drew the other back into for another kiss before murmuring against his lips, "I think I can definitely be persuaded." After all, it wasn't like he had to stay. Everyone was going to talk one way or the other so why not get to enjoying the rest of his night with Ariel in his bed than suffering through going back downstairs.

Ariel ducked his head almost shyly, shaking his head slightly. Well, at least he was having some effect on - well, everyone, right? He'd had to take the time to read all the labels on his clothes to match up the colors. It'd been painstaking so he was glad the effort hadn't been a waste. "Could you not? That would feel fucking awful."

There was something about fingers in his hair, even without the push and pull, that had him wanting to forget about ducking out and--well, the city was down below and wouldn't it be just a fucking shame to get the cops called on a Kindred party? He had moaned slightly into the kiss, dragging fingernails down the length of Amadeus's chest and not gently in the slightest. "Then let's go."

If he had been even a bit inclined to say no earlier, that moan and the feel of fingernails biting into his skin through the thin silk of his shirt would have been enough to change his mind. Suddenly leaving through the backway seemed like too much work. They'd have to move away from each other and then there was the time it would take to get to his place and none of that would do at all.

Besides, it wasn't as if he had steadied blood sorcery for three hundred years just to have to walk everywhere. Unlike before this wasn't a waste of Blood.

"Then hang on," Amadeus told him before nipping Ariel's bottom lip and taking possession of his mouth again before whisking them both away.
