Fantasy A vampire's masquerade ball (Allows accepting and OPEN)

[Hartley]

Cane walked up beside her and looked into the night sky. "It's beautiful isn't? The moon in all its glory, just being magnificent." He glanced over at her and smiled. "Sort of like you Madame Vasilisa." He didn't know what he was doing but what did he have to lose? Besides his pride, nothing.

Oliver smiled and bowed his head. "Thank you for the dance." He began to follow her but stopped when he couldn't find Vasilisa, growing worried he bowed again before he waved goodbye to Amara. "Until we meet again Miss Amara." With this he bowed and quickly walked away, sad that he couldn't talk to her more. It was the first human he had spoke to and most likely the last.

She laughed at his words, not trying to be rude but not really knowing what to say in this type of situation. "Don't flatter me Mr. Cane I'm hardly that." She would smile softly to reassure him she meant no harm in her actions.


@Hartley

 

[Hartley]

"I'm being completely honest." He mentally kicked himself. Why was he doing this?? "You deserve a lot better than that brute. He's a power hungry monster, just looking to take over everyone around him. I've met his type before." He quickly shut up, realizing he might have stepped out of line. "I apologize for my outburst."


@Aio

 

[Aio]

She placed a gentle hand on his as she shook her head, looking him in the eyes as she smiled. "No please do not apologize. You are right. Ciro is power hungry. The only reason he agreed to the marriage was because he had lost everything and I am his chance out." She let go of his hand as she sighed and leaned back against the railing before taking another sip of her drink.

A foreign woman, at the height of 5'6 due to her heels, would quietly approach the castle with two simple leather brown suitcases. Her bright eyes hooded by the ravenous curtain of her hair. At first she wasn't quite sure whether she should have come to this event, she doesn't know a single person that was equal to her. She never met other vampires besides her family and friendly Shanghai street rats. With a soft shake of her head, she straightened her back, squared her shoulders, and with her head tilted high she waltzed into Dracula's castle with her two suitcases in hand. When she arrived, someone invited her to the stairway, taking her bags from her dainty hands with her delicately polished nails scraping her beloved belongings. She hoped her eyes said enough, that she wanted her stuff to be delicately cared for. Someone else had thus came to her, escorting her to where the ball was being held, and the woman known as Diali-Lilia Ai snatched her elegantly designed masked from the top of her head and placed the rod in place. Holding the mask from the rod, it kept her identity clandestine and she was pleased. it was just a few moments later that she managed to sneak into the event quietly, not many paying much attention to her as she would hug the wall in her qipao cheongsam dress.


The journey was a long one, but hopefully it was worth it.

Cane looked over at Vasilisa, again questioning what he was thinking. "You deserve a lot better than that man," was the only thing Cane could say. He looked out in the night sky and watched the moon

Amara was sad that Oliver had left her but she knew why, it was because he was worried about Vasilisa. She walked back to her seat after half of the evening dancing, she saw that her pasta was rather cold so she paid no attention to it anymore. She ordered another round of champagne and began to drink. Amara watched as the others danced and danced, and she watched other vampires mingle and drink; she was once again alone.

 

[Aio]

Vasilisa shrugs. "Doesn't see as though I do. I've tried and failed. It seems As though I am lucky to have Ciro." She took another sip of her drink, turning to look at the moon as well before she sighed. "I'm glad I have met you Sir Cane. I truly am." She would turn back to look at him, giving him a small smile before she looked away.


@Hartley

 

[Aio]

Oliver grew impatient as he searched for Vasilisa. He spotted Amara yet agin as he ran up to her. "Have you seen Vasilisa? " his voice sounded frantic as he looked around. He couldn't afford her getting hurt, if she got hurt his life was on the line.

Amara looked to the side of the room at a small door that led out to a balcony, and there she saw Vasilisa and Cane talking. She tried to read their lips of what they were saying until she turned it into a story. Each time Vasilisa opened her mouth Amara thought of something to replace the words that she said and the same for Cane. It was rather funny what she was thinking of and when she laughed to herself other vampires that were near her looked at her with a look asking themselves what is she laughing at. She later on saw that Oliver was coming over to her and he had asked her where she was and Amara pointed towards the balcony, "SHe's over there," Amara said.

"Sometimes," Cane comes closer to her, "you just have to keep trying. We do literally have an eternity to keep trying." Cane realizes how close he is to her but isn't bothered by it. He looks back out into the sky


@Aio

 

[Aio]

Vasilisa laughed "Sadily I don't have an eternity to find someone, more like a few weeks." She smiled into her cup as she swirled it. His closeness felt comforting to her, like it was supposed to be. She laughed at this though finding it ridiculous for her to think that.


Relief filled Oliver's eyes, his posture relaxing a bit as he watched Vasilisa. "Thank you." He said as he looked over to Amara and smiled.


@sprouhtt @Hartley

 

[Hartley]

Cane smiled back at her and laughed gently. "A few weeks is enough time." Then he stopped, realizing what he might have just implied, and turned away, looking out over the forest.

Diali kept close to the perimeter of the ballroom before spotting a rather interesting female with brunette hair. Her scent smelt nice too, so she carefully made her way to her, all ill intentions nonexistent of course, as she wondered what perfume the girl wore. Diali knew hers was jasmine, and this brought a smile to her face. Someone to talk to after her arrival, this should go well.


Tentatively, Diali looked around and noticed some without their masks up, others still keeping their identities revealed. She wasn't sure she should take her mask off, so it remained on as she approached the woman. It was rather unexpected due to the fact that someone else had decided to join her, a male, but it hadn't stopped her yet. Politely she said, "Excuse me?" The gentleness in her voice was due to her lack of use regarding English. She rarely ever used it in Shanghai, so to do it now would make her voice sound seductive - t'whom which she thoughtfully avoided. She always whispered her words, but just loud enough for the other to hear her properly, so she hoped this girl had heard her.

"Oh hello," Amara said as she saw a slim lady appear in front of her. She knew she wasn't from around her because if she was she would have recognized her. Amara looked at the young lady and saw that she looked rather breathtaking in the dress she wore, and the ladies perfume flooded the area that she was in. Amara took a sip of her drink and smiled, "My name is Amara Pallastine, and you might be?" She asked politely and stood up to greet the lady/ @Leviersa

 

[Aio]

Vasilisa smiled and nodded. "Maybe so. I'm hoping anyway." She laughed slightly looking down at her now empty cup as she sighed. She looked over at Cane but he was turned away. She wondered if he had grown bored, she was only talking about herself. Her face grew red before she turned away and looked down into her cup.


@Hartley

 

[Marianne]

Diali couldn't help it, she removed her Masquerade Mask and grinned. Her smile was relative to a cat finding pleasure in its ball of yarn, and she was pleased that the woman stood to greet her. Thoughtfully, for she was going to consider bowing since she didn't know how to approach her, she held onto her mask with both of her hands as her ravenous hair fell over her heart shaped face properly this time. She nodded her head as a formidable greeting as she spoke, "I'm Diali-Lilia Ai, but everyone calls me Dia, it's a pleasure to meet you Lady Pallastine." Diali liked her last name, she played with it in her head, as if to remember it almost, as her friendly smile caused her almond eyes to crease at the edges. And too anxious to stop, she said this quickly to inform the girl: "Oh! I'm from Shanghai, China. I'm very new, if my dress hadn't given anyone any indication otherwise. I haven't been to a social event before, so this shall be my first, and hopefully not my last."

Cane turned back towards her and smiled. "You know, before today, I haven't met or been around more than two of our kind before? I've only ever met two and the last one was over 40 years ago." He decided changing the topic would distract him from thinking about how close they were right now, touching ever so slightly

 

[sprouhtt]

"It's a pleasure to meet you Lady Dia," She said with a smile as she saw Dia was rather happy to meet her. "Are you enjoying the party so far even though you just arrived?" Amara asked as she put her glass down to fold her hands in front of her. @Leviersa

 

[Marianne]

Diali considered this for a moment before shaking her head softly. "I'm afraid not. I've just arrived and nothing seems to interest me besides the delicacies on the table," her voice trailed softly as she added: "Oh, and the drinks." Her mother always scolded her for being so honest, saying it was bad to be honest to a stranger when asked if you were enjoying your self. It looks bad on the Ai Family, but Diali thought at this moment that her title hadn't mattered, and so she quickly asked: "Have you been enjoying your evening so far?" Diali glanced at the male that was beside Lady Pallastine and then returned the attention back to her, a slight glint in her eye as she pondered their relationship. As she had walked over here, she had noticed his rather friendly smile. It didn't need to be said, but it was the most interesting five minutes of her evening, perfume be damned, since Diali never personally encountered a friendly connection between people. She was rather. . . protected from such affairs.

Vasilisa took off her mask and layer it beside her before she spoke. "That's very surprising. I'm constantly around our kind. I thought it be hard not to bump in to one of us." She laughed slightly, placing her glass beside her mask.

Anna looked up, noticing a host of new thoughts in the room. She had been so absorbed in her book that she hadn't noticed the new people. There were certainly more humans in the room, and she smiled when she saw her mother and father dancing. As much as she hated the idea of having to marry someone random, she wished that she had something like her parents had. Sighing, she decided that if she didn't talk to anyone for the entire ball, her parents would likely not be pleased. She began to wander aimlessly around.
