Costume Honorary Ball

James stood at the balcony in the high northern area of the Ballroom. He was wearing all black and a white under shirt. He took a deep breath looking at the guests arriving. Soon they will all know what he was and what he intended in the future. He smiled seductively as he looked at the colored decoration in the ballroom everywhere. There were tables everywhere lined up with fine whines and foods. Tonight was going to be a fine night.

He tipped his hat to guests as they looked up. He smiled softly but not only was he looking for someone to dance with... This was the perfect event to choose prey and possibly find a donor and a candidate. He took in the deep breath smelling all the bloody scents that filled the room. The smell made him shiver in delight.

His hypnotic ocean blue eyes scanned the room. Still not to many people here yet. But knowing the past Balls it should be filled up pretty soon. He still stood there alone waiting for the right person to beckon to him. "So much young blood so little time..." He said with a light murmur as he rested his white gloved hands on the wooden rails. He was all so excited for this fine evening and he intended for it to go perfectly. HE was known to ask for nothing more but perfection and that is what he intended. For this is the official opening of the first Ball in his reign and let it be done.

Jocelyn stopped in the bathroom outside the entrance to the grand ballroom. Checking her outfit once again in the bathroom mirrors. On Short notice, having been given the invite yesterday by Jake saying the owner of the bar expected all employees to show up, she'd had little time to shop and found the costumes shops rather picked over. This was the cheapest yet most elegant dress she could find. It was probably so cheap cause it was os flimsy and minimal.

She checked the side again making sure that the pink claw scars weren't peaking out through the side lacings. She smoothed the bodice. Fluffed the fabric that hung in front, it wasn't even a skirt just a peice of fabric in front and one in back. She checked her hair. Pulling out the lipstick from the little wristlet purse she wore, hopefully she wouldn't loose this purse since it was attatched to her, and she reapplied her lipstick. Her nerves getting to her.

This would be the first time she would meet the owner of the bar where she worked. Even if she met him tonight. But she was expected to be here and so here she would be. KNowing only it was a Costume ball.

She headed out of the bathroom. Handing the security guard at the ballroom doors her invitation she headed into the ballroom.

She walked in her eyes trying to take in everything at once. The decorations, the people. She felt severly underdressed. Her arms wrapping across her stomach hugging herself as she moved slowly across the floor looking around for a familiar face, Mary hopefully... even Jake would do right then...

Leon arrived at the masquerade at precisely the time on the invitation walking up to the doors he handed his invite to the man there and the man nodded him in, the vicont had come dressed in a pirate costume complete with purple velvet overcoat and frilly cuffs.

He walked into the main room and looked around seeing James on the upper level he smiled and walking through the room ignoring everyone he simply plucked a glass off the tray of a waiter walking past before he walked up the stairs and up behind James

"Good Evening, Master Silverhold, I hope you are enjoying the night as much as i intend to" He grined and stood behind James, so that to anyone below they would see James with the vicont over his shoulder.

"I have to admit I've come to this party with the intent to ask you somethings as well as get to know the people, may we talk for a while before we .... mingle?"

His eyes fell upon Joss... He recognized her from the bar. He whispered to a man beside him and the man nodded. The man was dressed in a butler outfit. The man slowly walked down the stairs and made his way towards Joss... "Excuse me miss..." The man said as he took in a deep breath..

"The master if this mansion wishes to meet you." He said with a light bow as he directed his hand to where the master was standing. Out on the balcony overlooking the ball. "He would be gratefully honored if he met you miss..." He said to her as he stood up straight.


James smiled at the new Vampire he had met a few days before. "Greetings." He said calmly. "What is it you have to ask me my friend?" He asked him keeping his eyes on Joss.

Joss nearly jumped out of her skin as the man spoke suddenly from beside her. She should have sensed him coming near her but she was so absorbed in her surroundings, all the people, the unfamiliar scents she hadn't sensed the man. She turned a little breathlessly at the man who was suddenly beside her. She looked up at him.

She looked up to where the man pointed to a man overstanding a balcony looking down over the ballroom floor. So that was the owner of the club. She swore he was looking right at her, but it was hard to tell from so far away.

She had heard rumors of what he was. And so she was nervous to meet with him. But then she had met that Vampire at the mall and he was not at all dangerous, had even been nice. She had the penny he had given her tucked into her purse even this night.

"Of course." She said to the butler and turned to start heading towards the stairs that lead to the balcony. It was of course normal for her boss to want to see her. She reasoned with herself. As she hit the stairs she noticed another gentlemen there talking to the man. And so she slowed her ascent up the stairs to give the men a little longer to talk.

When she finally made it to the top of the stairs she waited there for her boss to finish with the other man or motion her over she didn't want to interrupt.

Leon smiled watching the butler and smirked at James' choice and noted it was a female

"Well it strikes me that my power has all but gone, apart from my money, and that when someone without power wants power, they have to go see those with power, and offer them something, normally servitude, or somesuch, i ask what your price is Master, Im sure you can understand that those with power are never happy to lose it."

He stepped closer to the vampire

"And will in most cases cross most if not any line to get it back. If you understand my meaning"

He turned and placed his empty wine glass on the end table

"Im sure you'll know where to find me when youve decided if im worthy of any power under you"

He nodded his head and smiled

"Enjoy your evening Master"

And with that he turned and walked back down the stairs onto the dance floor

He listened to Leon and nodded. "I will contact you later I have positions that need filling..." He said to him as he watched the vampire leave. There is something about that fellow... He thought to himself as he took his eyes off of him. He than spotted Joss and smiled. He than walked gracefully towards her.

"Greetings..." He said as he took her hand and kissed it he than bowed. "I am James S. Silverhold I have heard about you from Jake he tells me you are a promising bartender." He said with a charming smile as he made eye contact. "I am sorry I did not meet you in person until now I have been a bit tied up with business..." He said calmly as he looked at her. "But enough about that there is something else I wish to ask you..." He said to her softly his voice was quite charming and hypnotic.

She couldn't help but blush a little as the man introduced himself and kissed the back of her hand. Such formalities. She suddenly thought of Eliwood, and wished he was here, but the invitation had been for her and hadn't mentioned a guest and so it had been best not to invite him.

"Yes I'm Jocelyn Waite. Jake is helping me to become an A-1 bartender he..." She fell off as his eyes suddenly held hers. She knew better. She had been told never to look a Vampire in the eye. But she hadn't been sure that's what he was. "Understandable." She said softly as he apologized for not meeting her sooner.

"Of course. I'm all ears... Whatever question I can answer." She said as she stared into his eyes. She couldn't seem to pull them away. Though she was thinking he might ask her about work experience, or picking up more shifts or something like that. There was nothing to worry her yet.

Leon walked down the steps and over to the buffet table picking up some small nibbles he quickly ate them but their tastes were not to his liking, not many foods were anymore, and so he turned and walked across the room snatching another glass of wine as he did before he walked out the door of the ball, he had said what he came here to say and had the answer he wanted, he had no other reason to stay and spoil james' fun. He smirked to himself and walked out of the door passing this empty wine glass to the guard as he sauntered out and climbed into his car, and started the engines with the purr of vintage engines before roaring away

His eyes began to glow slowly. "How would you like to be my date for this ball?" He asked her as he kept the soft glow. He had her in his grasp it was the easiest thing ever. "I assume that we both came alone and it will benefit the both of us if we accompany each other no?" He asked her as he slowly began to wrap his arms around her waist drawing his head closer.

"Unless you do not want to..." He said calmly with a seductive smile. "Than I would under stand that..." He murmured softly into her ear trying to draw her mind off stress. He than pulled his head back slowly to wait for her reply.

"I... I..." She said flabbergasted that he would ask her. She couldn't think of anything wrong with accompanying him tonight. It was after all just appearances, and could put her in with the boss. She couldn't say no.

"No I don't mind. I just... the invitation didn't say anything about guest so I didn't bring my uhh... my..." Her words fell off since she wasn't sure what to call Eliwood. They were dating but she had asked him to take it slow with the boyfriend girlfriend thing. So they weren't really anything.

She should feel weird the way Mr. Silverhold was holding her so close. His eyes were taking on that glow that Eli's sometimes did. Except James's weren't the exceptional purple of Eli's but their blueness was beautiful enough.

Joss tried to shake her head to clear it but she couldn't pull her eyes from his. "I would be honored to accompany you tonight Sir. AS I'm new in town I'm sure following you around will afford me the oppurtunity to meet new people." She said softly. Going for diplomatic.

His hypnotic glow grows slowly as he brushed his lips against hers lightly. "Shall we dance... I suggest you forget all distractions you are here now and nothing else is important..." He murmured slowly in now manipulative voice. He smiled in a charming manner as he kept the gaze. He took a step closer.


He let his lips float around inches from hers as if taunting her. "The dancing will start soon my pet..." he said softly as he blinked lightly and the glow slowly ended. "I recommend we get ready to put on a show what do you say?" He asked her with a light chuckle. He loved the feeling of bending someone to his will. It gave him great satisfaction.

When his lips brushed hers she thought of Eliwood. Her head jerked back slightly trying to pull away. As Eli had discovered that first night she was loyal, even if they were just dating she wouldn't, in her right mind, kiss any other man. She didn't think it was right. But when James spoke it was like Eli just disolved from her mind. She totally forgot about him and her morals. Oblivious to the power James had, and now heralded over her.

She stared at him as he leaned ever closer his lips so tauntingly close, so close. Why did her stomach pull to a knot when he called her pet? She wondered momentarily. She didn't even notice that his eyes had ceased to glow. She was practically swaying on her feet before him. Lost in his power.

"A Show?" She asked in a dreamlike state. "If I can help you Sir I'll do what I can. This is your party and your the boss." She said still staring at him.

He pulled her closer against him as he smiled softly his lips brushing against hers again. "Just close you're eyes and wait for the music to start... Than we will dance..." He murmured softly as he held onto her. He grinned as plans for this woman filled his mind oh great plans. Perhaps he might have a snack later.

"Also after this there will be a small after party. I do hope you will attend..." He murmured in her ear. Yes and what an after party it will be... He thought to himself as he smiled. His smiled very well hiding his fangs while doing so.

Joss closed her eyes as soon as he commanded her too. SHe was way too submissive to do anything but. She stood in his embrace and waited for the music to start like he said. It was almost like she was in a trance. Truly, for the moment, his pet, bending to his will and command.

With her eyes still closed she nodded about the after party. "If you wish me there Sir..." She said softly.

Drucilla Damonica
Anarchisten
Drusilla strutted into the party safely disquised by her mask and hat netting so that it was not obviouse that her eyes darted all over the room, her mind recording everything and storing it in it's proper place for future opportunities. There where quite a few people there already and plenty more pooring through the door. As planned she had arrived late enough to get completly lost in the crowd.

Dru had found out that Detroit had recently come under the rule of a new Master of The City, and that his coming out party would be this evening. She had just arrived in town, and the fact that the Master was new and fresh was to perfect. Rather than a Master who already new everything in the city, she would be dealing with someone new, who was still learning.

After discovering the costume ball would be taking place, Drusilla had taken the necessary tasks in order to secure an invitation to the celebration. She began by scoping out a local bar, while fraternizing and acting completly wasted, though she had really only drank a little, she turned the conversation to the ball while around a rather toasted group of ladies. Of course as women do they began chatting about how they wished they had been invited, and as is the norm, one woman had to gloat about how she had gotten her hands on an invitation from one of her tricks a few evenings before.

That was it, Drusilla had her mark, she began flirting with the woman, and eventually was sitting with her, petting her. When she had the opportunity she slid open her ring and let the white powder slip into the woman's glass. No one noticed of course because Dru had them all preocupied with a story of a drunk guy she new once, they were to busy laughing to notice what she had done. But the end of the evening the woman, who regretfully Dru had fouond out name was Candy, was sitting comfortably upon Dru's bed.

There was no need to seduce the woman, she had gotten her where she wanted her, and frankly the girl disgusted Drusilla. So instead she sat atop the Candy and kissed her neck, before sinking her fangs into her neck, spitting the blood as it poored, disgusted by the taste of the whore. No she didn't want to drink from her, she just wanted to bleed her. She cleaned herself up, and retrieved the invite from the woman's purse, making her way out and into the night, with the perfect costume on her mind, and the dead woman long forgotten.

Now she was here, dressed fully as a " Victorian Madam" masked to blend into the crowd fully. She would find the Master, but she hoped he would not find her first.

He nodded to the butler and the bulter than left to the halls. He than dialed a number contacting the Vampire Leon who had left earlier. "The master requests you're presence at the party. He wants to meet with you later and discuss you're future in his work..." The butler said as he hung up the phone. Music than began playing it was slow and easy to dance to.

"Now let us walts love..." He whispered into her ear as he got into position and began to dance knowing well that she would obediently follow like the little pet she was. He loved the sound of the music as he danced. Now the Ball officially started and this night will now become interesting indeed.

Joss responded instantly as the music started. She perked up. her eyes still closed as he instructed. She held up her arms as James took hold of her and began moving as he lead her in the simple waltz upon the balcony.

It was so simple just to follow commands. Little did she know her natural empathy left her completely vulnerable, and maleable to suggestion. She moved smoothly with James about the balcony as he lead her in the easy waltz. The fabric of her 'skirt' whisking around her legs and James as her wrist purse bounced against her arm.

He smiled softly as his eyes looked upon her. "Open you're eyes and look at me..." He said as his eyes began to glow again. He continued to direct her in dance looking at her with a seductive smile. He let out as soft moan softly as everyone else now began to dance. "Now listen to my voice let it free you're mind..." He said calmly he kept his voice soft and a whisper so only she could hair.

He pulled her closer so there bodies were almost touching. He held his gaze as he was going to bend her will again. He had a specific intention for her and the sooner he started working for it the easier it will be as time passes... He slowly moved his head towards hers again letting his lips hover inches away from hers.

Jocelyn's eyes snapped open as soon as he commanded it. Her hazel eyes stared into his blue ones as if it were the most normal thing in the world. His seductive smile made her toes curl slightly. She couldn't think of anything, or anyone else but him. The world around her didn't even exist.

She stared into his eyes even as he pulled her closer. The fabric wrapping around her legs almost trapping her there as his head lowered towards her. Hovering there. All she could do was stare. Her heart pumping quickly, racing her body knowing something was wrong even if she didn't.

"Let lust control you're mind. I am the only man who is important to you the only one who you cares for you. Any other man you have no feelings for. You lust for me every free thought you have... You are my servant my lover and you want to keep it that way..." He said softly his lips brushed across hers each time when he spoke a word. His voice was strange he sounded more like he was singing in a tune more than anything.


His eyes flickered each time when he said a word. It was as if the eyes were speaking as well. "Now I will bind this with a kiss... A kiss will free you're mind to the real truth I told you..." He said softly. "The kiss will break the trance do you hear me?" He asked her as her slowly moved his head towards her.

As he spoke her body reacted. Her pulse quickened not in fear now but in lust. The words instilling in her the want of him. "Yesss." She moaned softly as he lips brushed across hers. Agreeing with everything he said with instants.

"Yes Sir I hear you." She said still in her trance like state. Staring at him with unflinching eyes. Her hands wrapping around his shoulders pulling her closer. "Kiss me please." She whispered, begging. Her body pressing to his. The soft leather of her bodice smushed against his torso.

Leon walked out of his bathroom wearing only his black pants now and over to his bedside table picking up the reciever on his phone before he even spoke a voice invited him back to the party, He knew his offer would have been accepted by the master, but he never expected such a rapid responce, and sighed as he had to now get dressed again.

Once dressed teh vicont drove slowly to the party with no intent of mingling or meeting anyone else, the master was the one who could give him power again and thats all he wanted, right now, He was normally an aimable bubbly man, but meeting the master had reinstated a lust for power that he didnt even know he had, but he liked it now.

So finally he pulled up again at the ball and walked up to the guard who for some curious reason still had the wine glass.

"Ill take that thank you"

He chuckled and took the glass walking in and this time poured it full of red wine and took a sip scanning the room for james, who had undoubtidly already seen him enter the room

He smiled softly as he licked his lips slowly. He than pressed his body against hers and kissed her deeply on the lips. He held the kiss as he knew the trance will break and he knew what he said would be implanted into her mind. He moaned softly as he broke the kiss and than kissed her again.

Good girl... Now the first part of my plan is a success. In time the plan will set in motion. She is now mine and no one can do anything about it... He thought to himself as he broke the kiss. "Lets continue love... We can have more fun later..." He whispered in her ear as they danced.

[size=7]Maryjane couldn't believe she had actually had to come to this thing, but Jake had demanded it despite her begging. She had thrown together a simple costume, and carried flowers, posing as mother earth, Cannabis accompanied her also, she had regretfully put a harness on him, more for his own safety than anything else. She didn't want him getting away and someone eating him.

She stepped out of the cab she had taken, she planned on drinking if she had to be here, and she wasn't about to drink and drive, or leave her car here and take a cab. Cannabis climbed up to her shoulder and propped himself up next to her once she had fully exited the back seat. Maryjane paid the cab driver his fair and turned around stunned by the size of the mansion. She patted the purse she carried on her side, reasuring herself that she had brought her stash of pre-rolled joints. She would make it through tonight, who knows maybe she would even have fun. MJ hoped to run into Joss, she was sure she would, since she new the girl had no choice but to be there also.

She took a deep breath and walked towards the entrance and through the large open doors. The scene before her was beautiful, something out of a fairy tale was the first thought in her mind upon entering. She stopped for a moment taking in all of the lights and decorations, and couldn't help but smile. She felt more at ease already, the atmasphere was nice.

Maryjane moved foward into the crowd scanning for Joss or Jake. People were moving about everywhere, it was tough for her to even squeeze past everyone, but somehow, her and Cannabis made it through no problem. Then she spotted her, with the new Master of the City? That didn't make much sense, maybe MJ was wrong, she had only scene a few posters with his picture on it advertising the event. She began moving towards the staircase and toward's Joss to greet her.[/size]

Joss's eyes opened as he kissed her. Her hands raised up to hold his cheeks as they kissed. When he broke it she panted. Wanting more. Needing more. She bit her lip. Trying to give him a seductive look. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She wasn't usually such a tart, but she was practically ready to throw herself at Mr. Silverhorn.

She giggled at his statement like a school girl. "Promises, promises." She laughed teasingly as they resumed there dance. As they moved around the little balcony, amongst her turning she noticed a femal e figure coming up the stairs. For a moment she was getting ready to go on the defensive and claim her man. Then she, as the person's scent hit her, she realized it was Mary Jane.

Joss suddenly beamed. "That's Mary Jane. She works at the Kandle Klub too. She's my friend." JOss told James breaking free of his hold and pausing there dance as she giddily went over to MJ at the top of the stairs.

"I was hoping you'd be here. We shoulda split a cab." Joss said cheerily. Slightly out of her normal character.

He smiled softly as she let her run to her friend. He slowly walked after her and stood behind her. "Spend some time with you're friend meet up with me later... I guarantee that we will have a fun time at are little personal after party..." He whispered in her ear softly as he swiftly kissed her on the neck. "I wont be to far from you love I need to meet a few people..." He said with a nod as he spotted Leon.


He than looked at him and beckoned Leon to come to him. He had important business to discuss with him and he did not want to stray to far from his pet and her friend. He awaited Leon to notice him so they could talk. He than turned his head to look at Joss and her friend. He than nodded at Mary Jane with his normal smile.

Leon wandered through the crowds with distaste to most of them, openly reading the minds, whores looking for a good night, men looking for a lucky night, how deprived and decadent these people were, mortals considered themselfs so mighty when they were all whores inside.

He glanced up at james, unfortunatly james was one of those vampires who seemed to follow the decadent way. but even vampires did it in a much more decent way than mmortals, they got to know their ... short term partners... made it about them as well as themselves. Hell sometimes they even stayed with them.

As Leon walked over to the man, he found himself considering his offer of "anything" and just how far hed go for power, and was disturbed at how far, but there was something else, those thoughts were not just of power.

Did James have him under a spell to, it couldnt be, Leon was a vampire, strong willed, wasnt he, he was afraid, and yet even that excited him, how rare a thing it was to feel fear when you cannot die, Leon slowed his pace as he walked up the stairs wanting more time with his thoughts, and his thoughts were taking a very strange turn, more about what he had to offer James.

Leon shook his head and his thoughts became more logical, it was then he realised this master was new, not only to being master, but to the city, whereas leon was not so new, and knew far more, maybe he had more to offer than hed originally thought, and hed use this to his advantage, and even possible to get James into his arms, under his lips

Leon's eyes went wide as he became concously aware of that thought and he quickly tried to banish it, but could only burry it.

It was at the point Leon became aware of the fact he was now stood in front of James and had been for some moments and not said nor heard anything, he blinked and smiled.

"Excuse me, my thoughts were running away with me" "or more accuratly .. you

"What did you say?"

He smiled softly as he wrapped his arm over his shoulder like an old friend. "Since I took back control a lot of the followers have left this town and have gone in with there own journeys. I really do not know you well but I wanted to inform you that you are a candidate to be second in command of my rule. meaning if I am unable to lead you will be left in charge until I get better. Or if I decide to take a break you take charge. It is a large responsibility." He told Leon softly so only he could hear.

"As soon as more vampires come and another one with you're experience appears they will be a second candidate which means I will have you both under my gaze. Even if you do not get the role as second in command you will still live on power but I wanted to inform you of that. From the moment I met you I sensed you're experience and I do believe you're council will be quite valuable..." He said to Leon quietly.

Leon smiled back and as the arm slide around his shoulder had to use every fiber of his being just to resist shivering in delight, and to resist reaching up and grasping the hand that rested on his shoulder, and yet, he didnt know why he was acting like this.

He looked over and bowed his head to James which walking side by side brought his face closer for a moment before he quickly pulled back

"I thank you Master, and any knowledge I have i hand over to you freely, should you not be able to take charge, i will lead exactly as you would have, and if that reason is illness i would even tend to your needs as well as running your affairs for you, so at the same time i could keep you apraised. Should another try to take that, i may have to kill them"

He smirked slyly then chuckled

"I joke of course, it your city and your will, i will follow"

He looked out onto the dance floor stood with james, and suddenly, none of the mortals failings matter, none of the other creatures mattered, even the ones he had noted as being attractive when he first entered, all that mattered was this balcony, not even that wretched girl that had James mattered 'coz right now, Leon had him.

"Why ... why are my thoughts and body acting like this. whats wrong with me?"

James smiled at him and nodded. "Thats a good commitment but if I find that you are crossing me in any way. I will serve you're head to the vampire community on a platter..." He said softly letting him know that he would not tolerate betrayal.

"If you need a safe house you are welcome to stay here. I already alerted the servants of you're presence in this city so they will not kick you out if they find you in this mansion..." He said calmly as he let his arm fall back to his side. As he looked at joss with a seductive smile.

Leon almost audiable gave an "aww" as James removed his arm, before a very visable glare at the smile he gave joss but he still spoke calmly

"As you've just said betraying you would prove pointless. Id only lose my place here, and im looking into buying myself a home already but as it is, i could use a shelter from ... the evil day star as one of my friends used to call it"

He chuckled softly then looked around

"I thank you Master, you have given me far more than i could have asked for"

He smiled and bowed his head before looking around and walking off back down the steps slowly and with the footsteps of a man who is lost, because leon was lost in his own mind, and now that he had walked away from the master he had nothing to do and could think of nothing to do and so simply walked over to the table and picked up another glass of wine, waiting for the party to end so he could be shown to a room to rest in. Maybe try and clear his mind, if the master did not chose to visit him to talk some more. Which the Vicont feared might drive him insane

Joss just nodded smiling happily as James said he would be nearby and she should visit with MJ.

She grabbed MJ's hands and brought her over towards the balcony. "Isn't this so amazing. I've never been to anything like this before. " Joss said breathily. Then leaning against the banister of the balcony she looked MJ up and down.

"Ohk what are you suppose to be. I know mind doesn't make since either... but you look kinda... earthy to me." Joss took a stab at it. She was babbling.

Since arriving in the city, Vinny hadn't done much of anything. ordinarily, the down time might suit someone after so many nights of drifting, but not Vinny. Chasing the night-life around town was his main occupation these days, and providing the night-life moved quick enough, his thoughts wouldn't be able to catch him up.
And so after a couple of nights pacing the dingy hotel room of a downtown establishment, he couldn't take it anymore. His mind was thrust inexorably back to the past, and all the prime time television in the world wouldn't blot it out.
The local newspaper so graciously left behind by someone else was the starting point. It was easy enough if you knew what you were looking for. Not too ostentatious, very subtle, but there it was. A costume ball? He had sat on the edge of his bed and pondered, tossing the newspaper back over his shoulder as if it were suddenly useless. He peered over the tops of his rose sunglasses at the wardrobe.

And so there he stood, clad in a black pinstripe zoot suit and saddle shoes. Fortunate indeed that his eccentricities had led him to buy the outfit despite his better judgement. His hair was tucked away beneath a black fedora, and good thing too since he hadn't even brushed it. The rose tinted glasses remained in place, and somehow they almost went with the outfit... in a Dali sort of way anyway.
He pushed forward with a slight smile, passing low tables of hors d'oevres. His hands were stuffed into the roomy pockets of his slacks and he came finally to rest slightly out of the path of other patrons.

[size=7]Maryjane made her way up the stairs, when she was almost to the top, Joss saw her and said her hello's, quickly leaving her male companions side to join MJ, and drag her towards the balcony. She looked down at all of the people, and her stomach twisted slightly.

" Why Mother Nature of course!" She said with a huge grin and a spin. " What are you, I love your outfit by the, it's so sexy." She stated biting her tounge at the end.

" So have you seen Jake around? And who is the stuffed shirt your with?" She asked as if she had never seen any posters with his face plastered on them at all.[/size]

Drucilla Damonica
Anarchisten
Drucilla made her way through the crowd picking a pocket here and a pocket there as she walked past the guest, securly tuckng her bounty into a hidden pocket in her large puffy skirt.

People were such easy targets when they were preoccupied with impressing one another, and Dru had always loved feeding upon this weakness. When she was only maybe 10yrs old she was already out in the market pickpocketing people with her older brother like figure, Fred. He was from the same orphanage, and played a large part in teaching her the things she needed to know in order to take care of herself, he even taught her how to run the crap games. It was to bad about his accident, when Dru was 16, she found herself desperately in love with her older, way cute, mentor. When he didn't recipricate the feelings, he accidentally fell into a well on there way back to the orphanage from the store.

Drucilla walked up behind a very sharply dressed man in a pinstripe suit, and carefully began to slide her hand into his back pocket in search of his wallet.

"Of course!" Joss echoed at Mary Janes comment on what her outfit was. Joss was grinning rather broadly. She couldn't help it when she had the man of her dreams only a mere feet away.

Joss only beamed more as MJ said her outfit was sexy. She did a little twirl for MJ and MH had done for her. "Ohh it's not my first choice, last minute, cheap pickings it's called Slave Princess. I guess it sorta has that Princess Leia thing going on." She said waving her hand over the gold touches on t he bodice.

Joss shook her head as MJ asked about Jake. "No haven't seen him. Stinker probably cut out after telling us we HAD to be here." Joss laughed. She glanced over her shoulder at James as MJ asked about him. She sighed like a love lorn heroine. "That's James Silverhorn. You know the head guy in charge. God he's gorgeous isn't he." Joss sighed staring over her shoulder at him. Beaming when he tossed a few glances her way.

[size=7]" That would be just like Jake to, send the pretty girls, so he can scoot out the back." she said with a glare. Jake was such a punk ass sometimes. Maryjane reached into her purse and into a zipper pocket next to her pre-rolled J's, and grabbed out a treat slipping it to Cannabis who grabbed it greedily and began munching.

" So, he's the Big Guy huh?" She asked with emphasis on the Big Guy. She wasn't sure what Joss had meant by that but she went with it anyway figuring that she would pick it up during the conversation.

He certainly looked like he could be the new Master of the City, tall, dominating presence, check, smug appearence, check, apparent riches, check, and of course a look in his eye that spoke of ages, check. Still if he was the new Master, then why was he all cuddly with Joss? Not only was she new in town, but she was a leopard. Maryjane was suspiciuose, and a little nervouse for her friend if this man actually was the new head blood sucker.[/size]

Joss laughed at Mary Jane's comment about Jake. She smiled as Mary Jane fed Cannabis a treat. "Hey there Cannabis. Mommy drag you out to play tonight." Joss said in way of greeting to the little monkey.

Again as Mary Jane focused back on James Joss glanced at him. "Yep... he uh I think he owns the Kandle Hlub. Or I'm at least pretty sure he does. He must own a couple of places. I mean this place.." She gestured to the ballroom. "Is amazing and it's his and I mean... " Joss laughed as she realized she was gushing about James. "Sorry." She said lightly.

"Maybe he has a friend he can introduce you too." Joss added lightly. She still wasn't sure on MJ's sexual orientation though she had her suspicions. She did have the good gaydar... but then she never wanted to assume anything.

[size=7]She listened as Joss gushed on about the man before stopping herself. So he was the Master of the City, she new that the ball was being held at the home of the New Master, so it must be him. She squinted her eyes towards the man in a seriouse look of concern, what was he up to, and what did he want with Joss. Honestly she hoped it was only a fuck and not her life that he was looking for.

" Joss, about him....." She trailed off biting her tounge, Joss barely new her, perhaps saying that the guy she was obviously head over heals for at the moment wasn't who he said he was wouldn't be a very good idea. She'd probably just get mad at her, and run off with him anyway.

" Nevermind." She said a little glum.

Joss continued to chat about him, and her ears perked when she mention that he might have a friend. That would be a good way to keep an eye on things, hopefully without getting herself into whatever pile of shit was being dropped as they spoke.

Now Maryjane was a girls girl, she liked the women, never really had much use for men, they were always trying to control her, and life was not long enough, even for a were-leopard for constrainment. Perhap's he would have a female friend, if not she could pretend for an evening to be into whatever male friend was offered.

" Yes perhap's he does, that would be wonderful especially if his friend was as pretty as you." She said hoping to snap Joss out of whatever spell she was under with the shock of her coming so bluntly.[/size]
