Heaven's not a place that you go when you die.
It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive
So live for the moment.

Fawn had been watching those around her for quite sometime, yes she was dancing and being merry but the curiosity of figuring out who was who got the best of her. After some time though she had lost herself in dancing so that when a new partner came along she didn't notice him till he spoke. Her eyes traced over the parts of his face she could see, his eyes a marvelous red and a beautiful bone structure, taking a guess he was surely very handsome. A small blush fell upon her cheeks when she realized she hadn't responded to his words a light laugh escaped her lips trying to make the moment more comfortable. "Well thank you for swooping in when you did, it seems like a lot of people here are a bit to nervous for conversation or they are concentrating to hard on their dance steps. Maybe you'll be able to hold my interest. " A smirk crossed her lips as she teased him a bit, Fawn was a flirt and when she saw the opportune moment she took it. While she waited for his response she noticed he was quite the dancer, taking the lead on with confidence and almost arrogance but something about him spark her curiosity and she could feel her magic sparking at the excitement of someone entertaining her.

And take this advice, live by every word,
Love is just a hoax so forget anything that you have heard
And live for the moment now.

“Great demons have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds."

A woman aside Adell peered over at her query. She chuckled a bit. "That's Master Zachary Braxton, that is." She murdered so that the man may not hear her mentioning of him. "One of those Braxton blokes who runs this whole soiree, he is." She added before turning herself away from Zachary's presence.

Meanwhile, the Braxton continued on with his conversations with his intelligent guests; they spoke of something or another about astronomy and circles.
"Every living thing longs for perfection, even the planets themselves; for they attempt to achieve the universes most perfect form, circularity." Zach stated to his guests.
"Take into mind, the Sun and the stars. They are the closest things in this universe that have attained circularity. They nurture the planet with sunlight; You could say that the stars are the closest thing to god in this world. It's no wonder why many people worshiped the sun and used the stars for guidance."

All these ideas that Zach shared were merely from one of the many philosophers he studied. He didn't expect anyone to understand who he quoted or paraphrased, as long as they took his ideas to heart.

Zachary heard his name whispered in the crowd and turned his head to the sound. However, the only face that could be immediately seen is the one that wore the electric blue hair and glowing red eyes. Unnatural physical beauty nearly made him stutter in his breath. But he needed to remember himself; the physical world is the lowest for of existence to thrive upon. He couldn't allow himself to lose his footing over every pretty face or he would be no different than any other mortal. A test was needed to see how "beautiful" something can be.

『 A lydialaughed at his request of stories. She thought of her small home full of people coming and going. “I am sorry to disappoint you, but Lochlen isn’t that exciting. I find it much more intriguing here. For example, did you realize that outside this lovely home of yours, there is a small pond just of the road? It is the reason I was late coming here this evening, I got slightly distracted by the toads and dragonflies.”
Alydia smiled a half smile and laughed. “You are too modest sir.” She spoke with playful banter. “Without your funding, the most skilled people you have under your wing would be no better than before they were before you gave them a place to mobilize their talents. You underestimate your influence.” She nodded once as a conclusion. She knew that most people who were employed in large houses where usually middle class, much like her. As a changeling in Lochlen she had limited options for employment she stayed at home with her ‘Mother’ and ‘brothers’ who taught her all the needed things in life.
She looked at Jovan and once again subtly observed him. Not just his appearance, but his aura, the way he carried himself, the look in his eyes, The things you don’t first notice of a person. She liked to get a good idea of people before she go too attached. 』

Taking note that the song was drawing near it's close he picked up their pace, to test her more. Normally, one would get dizzy by so much spinning, which was a key element of the waltz but he was paying no attention to his surroundings. Not with his eyes at least, so he felt no vertigo. ' Even so, I must insist. It is not uncommon for one to develop a sense of commonplace when surrounded by familiarity.' He said wisely. ' In the same way, that I underestimate my influence and overlook toads and dragonflies. Yes?' He kept her steady gaze with one of his own.

It was quite remarkable, no one, not even his 'brothers' could maintain such a steadfast look into his eyes. It was often said that his eyes inspired many sins; wrath, lust, greed, envy, sloth, pride and acedia. So of course, these feelings would naturally make someone cast their gaze aside, sometimes enough that the person could no longer look at him. Though his thoughts were interrupted when he heard the song ending. The smile that was slowly dispelling from his face appeared with renew vigor as he spun her one final time then dipping her backward until her body was parallel to the ground. Holding that pose for a moment he returned her to her feet, taking her hand and pressing his lips to it. Once he straightened himself out his smile became coy. ' Well, that was fun.'

We will meet again
When the seas and mountains fall
And we come to end of days
In the dark I hear a call
Calling me there
I will go there
And back again.'

『 Alydia smiled as Jovan moved up the pace of their dance. It was exhilarating to dance with someone so experienced. They began to spin faster and faster and just as the song was ending Jovan dipped her so close to the ground Alydia was scared she might fall. After a swift recovery she smiled.
She looked around for a moment and saw other partners parting ways the returned her attention back to Jovan, just as he placed a light kiss on her hand. Blushing lightly she smiled widely at his comment of the dance being fun.
“It was, very much so.” She glanced around at all the other young ladies and men around the ball, then back at Jovan. “Well, after such a lovely dance and lesson, I seem to be parched. Now, I would love for you to join me, but I wouldn't want to hog you all to myself...so I fear we may have to part ways.” 』

Jovan let go of Alydia' hand and bowed at the waist. ' I can imagine. It would be best if you get some drink and food to replenish. I would hate to be the cause of some like you fainting. Not to mention I have many, many, oh so many guests to meet.' She was strong, charismatic and beautiful, those things were certain. However as much as he wished to had his key over then and there, he hesitated. There were dozens more women, and he had yet to start on the men. He was always reserved when it came to even thinking about handing his key over to a man, but it was always a possibility. Perhaps that evil b***h had made the person destined to free him a man, and he was determined to scout them out as well this time around. Though, like the last two times it was very likely he would just end up turning to 'stone' in face of any male prospect.

The corner of his lip twitched just thinking about it so he focused all his attention on his company again. ' I will have to seek you out later Alydia Clarice Mab of Lochlen. I do intend to hear those stories some time this week.' He said with a small wave before smoothly disappearing into the throng of people. Perhaps he would seek her out again on the final day, when all hope was lost and all he could do was enjoy his final hours. For now, such a beautiful distraction was something he could not afford to be caught up in.

[[ooc: It was fine. I was thinking it would be best to separate for a bit to mingle anyway.]]

"Don't You Want To Play With Me."

╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗

The woman leaned over and whispered into Adell's ear so she could not be heard."That's Master Zachary Braxton, that is." Confused, Adell tried to remember if she had ever come across anyone by the family name Braxton. Unfortunately she hadn't, which was odd. She lived in this town her whole life and never had she heard of the name Braxton. Maybe he was from out of town. One of those people who had came just to join in the festivities. "Braxton? Are you sure that is the right name." The woman nodded "One of those Braxton blokes who runs this whole soiree, he is." Adell's eyes widened and she reverted her attention back to Zachary. He was going on about the Sun and stars and had everyone in ear shot eating out of his hand. A smile played on her lips as she realized she had no idea what he was talking about and the real funny part is that everyone around where probably in the same boat as her. It wasn't Zachary's ideas that made him charming but the way he carried himself. The world that she lived in was one of glamor, fashion, and beautiful people while his was philosophy, science, and theories. "So this Zachary Braxton fellow. What do you know of him." Just as Adell had spoken his name, the man in mention looked her way. Once they mad eye contact Adell knew that he would be just like every other man and fall head over heels in love with her. Theirs eyes meet and then he looked away. "What!" Adell looked around and hooped no one had noticed her little outburst. 'Are you kidding me.' She thought. No man has ever completely ignored her like he had just did. What was wrong with him. His he blind? Defiantly blind or maybe she saw wrong. Yeah, that's it. She saw wrong. Adell straightened her composure and walked over the the group of gentlemen talking. "Good evening gentalmen. its been far to long since the last time some of us talked. I hope you don't mind if I join in on your conversation."

"Cold at heart
Indifference
Thought they were your best friends
Tears & flowers
From the one
You never would expect"

Ezra Murdoc Liore

"Is that a challenge? I certainly hope so." The man had always liked a girl with some grit in her. It kept things interesting. Nothing worse than a subservient girl, who isn't capable of shaking up your world. There was something in her eyes, something could only be defined as raw. Her flirtatious persona was evocative, and Ezra didn't have many reasons to refuse such a playful manor. The man, in all his years hadn't found a woman quite as interesting. Most woman in fact, were typically the same when it came down to it. The same stock character dame, trying to find her prince charming, which he wasn't willing or capable of offering. A few woman had sparked his interest, but he eventually grew tired of them. Dancing all of his steps in tune, Ezra managed to casually dip the young girl down, and back up to the flow of the sound. Perhaps this was the event to change the life he had become so dreadfully accustomed to. On the other hand there was always a fairly sure chance that nothing would change at all. Even though Ezra hadn't assumed there would be any change, he hoped that it would come sooner rather than later. The man was tired of paying for a mistake he had made so long ago. The redemption that he was looking for seemed to close, yet way too unpredictable to bet on. After the passing of a few songs, he figured his partner would be more than happy to get off the dance floor and chat for a bit. "So, mystery girl..Would you care to join me for some refreshments?"

"Do you remember what you said
When I looked into your eyes
For the first time
I know you’re not quite ready yet
But there’s nothing to be afraid of

Heaven's not a place that you go when you die.

A lovely laugh escaped her lips as he spoke of a challenge, oh how she liked the sound of that. Most men now a days didn't show this kind of attitude, they either gave into quickly and let all mystery disappear or they put up a wall that after a while she got tired of trying to tear it down. "Well then good sir, I bid you good luck" Her eyes sparkled with excitement and it seemed as if she just glowed of happiness and wonder. Fawn always enjoyed interacting with the unknown, and this man in front of her was like a crime out of a mystery story. How exciting that thought was to her. Her thoughts were shaken when she was suddenly dipped and then risen again. That one movement was able to make a small gasp leave her lips and a playful glare was shot his way. This man knew how to sweep a simple woman off her feet with sweet talk and elegant dance moves, but luckily for him Fawn isn't a simple woman. The offer for refreshments couldn't have come sooner, she had been dancing so much that she hadn't had the time to scurry away. At that she noticed the empty feeling in her stomach and how it brought upon pain. "Refreshments sound lovely and I guess joining you wouldn't trouble me" There was that teasing tone again, she found this almost to fun.

[ooc//: so I don't know how many of you go to the ooc so I'm just going to ask this here. Would you all like me to make a post about each day and what kind of event will be held each day that way it will be different and spice things up a bit?]

Cyril Gerald Cornelius Quint Boulanger (Braxton)
Cyril waltzed into the ballroom, his eyes a-glow with the promise of a good night. Perhaps this was his final chance, his last night of wandering, courting, and searching. Though this positive thought plagued him, he didn't let it undermine him. Instantly, he began to dance, turning this way and that with random partners. His 'brothers' seemed to be making their game up faster than he was. This irritated him the slightest bit; they were better with coaxing, especially Ezra. Let's all hope for a better night than last year's. With one last twirl, he decided to sit and sip white wine. It was the only wine, besides port, that he bothered with. Cyril despised anything but sweet and fruit-like wines. The strong and bitter taste of red and cordial made him sick.

He glanced out into the sea of faces, the masked masqueraders who laughed at curfews and threw themselves into the danger of the Braxton home. And there he was, a snake charmer, waiting with his music to take in the next wanderer's eyes. He didn't speak with the others much. He would wait and study everyone.

A beautiful mind to go with that beautiful face that couldn't be contained behind the masquerade facade? Zach supposed he was about to see.
He raised an eyebrow. "Hm? Another scholar in our midst? Usually you don't see the beauty of the physical body mingle with the beauty of the mind, but then again this wouldn't be the first exception to the rule. . ." He remarked the guest in question. He was lucky he was getting his words out edgewise or he might cave in to whatever power was compelling his stomach to feel as though it were full of butterflies.

It was unnatural, but he was able to repress it for the sake of his own ambitions; he had one task to perform by the end of this week or else it would be another century behind his lucid concrete nightmare, another hundred years behind the present day only hoping that philosophy continues to be a viable subject in that time. Heaven forbid he'd have to discuss recent events or pop culture. He would look like a fool sharing a dusty house with his three brothers.

Zachary opened the tall window behind him in order to vent out the smoke that he was about to bellow out of his mouth. Inside his coat pocket, he pulled out a cigar and picked a candle from atop a nearby table to light it up.
He took a few puffs to get the cigar going and immediately the stick began to hold its own light. Setting the candle back down he took a big puff of the cigar before holding it between his fingers.

"I'll admit though, the sound of my voice alone can be pretty boring. It's good to know that there's someone else who might have a valid discussion about the great philosopher, Plato and his beliefs." Zachary shared, avoiding eye contact with the guest he spoke to. He felt that prolonged exposure to her flawless ruby eyes would make him commit acts of ill repute in an instant.

Zachary took another puff of his heavy smoking cigar as he tried keeping it as close to the window as possible so he may not upset his guests with his insufferable smoking habit.
" We were discussing how the ancient philosophers have influenced the way humans and living things behave in the universe. A broad topic, but I have narrowed it down to some of Plato's ideas about the longing for love, perfection, circularity. . . " He paused to take the cigar out of his mouth in order to give his guest an unbridled smile. ". . .Tell me, Miss, what are your thoughts on these topics? Love, perfection, and circularity?"

It was as graceful a segue as it was the test that he had in mind. He would test the water's of this female specimen's intelligence and beauty. He would see if this feeling he was gaining was a mere coincidence for being captive in stone for so long or if this was something more than he had guessed.

{Your character might be a Succubus, but I'm not human either. . . that's kind of my excuse to why I can resist your power for this long. I think it works for the character development. . . . *tag, you're it*}

Valentina Moira Lucretcia

Square in your ship's path are Sirens, crying
beauty to bewitch men coasting by;
woe to the innocent who hears that sound!

Valentina glanced up at her dance partner, taking into account the effect she had on him. He looked as if he'd been enjoying a little too much liqueur. His eyes were glazed and a rosy blush spread about his cheeks. She wasn't conceited enough to assume the man harboured any special feeling for her, but it was nice to incite some longing in a man once in a while. It was a pleasure she rarely got to divulge in as of late. Parting ways, she gave a curt bow and left the man to another eager woman on the dance floor. The night was still young, and there was plenty of "adventures" to be had.

Away from all the commotion, Valentina spotted refreshments. Pouring herself some scotch, she added a generous amount of ice cubes to the glass. While looking about, the woman's eye's stopped on a man sipping at a glass of white wine. Golden eyes became fixed upon him as her pupils dilated. Her innate ability to hone in on an interesting subject had never failed her. Valentina noticed the man was some what of a silent observer at the moment. Walking over to him, she found a comfortable place on the wall to lean against. "Find anything interesting yet?"

But if you wish to listen,
let the men tie you in the lugger, hand
and foot, back to the mast, lashed to the mast,
so you may hear those harpies' thrilling voices;
shout as you will, begging to be untied,
your crew must only twist more line around you
and keep their stroke up, till the singers fade.

"Cold at heart

Ezra Murdoc Liore

It was somewhat of a task to navigate through the bustle of the crowd, but Ezra managed. Finding his way to the refreshments, he gently pulled along his partner. Assuming she would like simple spiced rum, he poured some "on the rocks" and handed it to her. He scavenged a bottle of Bordeaux wine and poured a generous amount in his glass. Swirling the liquid about the glass, he took a sip and savored the taste. You just can't beat a wine with nice body.

"So what brings you to this fine estate?' This question had always intrigued the man. Why would people come to a place with no knowledge of the people that own it other than the stories told about it? Could people honestly be that trusting, or maybe just way too naive. People always expect the best from high society, when in truth, it would probably be safer to have dinner with a fish peddler in town. The irony never failed to amuse Ezra.

"Do you remember what you said
When I looked into your eyes
For the first time
I know you’re not quite ready yet
But there’s nothing to be afraid of
In your Summerland"

『 Alydia was at the side lines watching all the magnificent dancers twirl and spin with smiles on their faces. She took a sip of her wine and closed her eyes. The taste deep and rich. Still her eyes were drawn towards the dancers. She watched them weave and spin like it was second nature, one thing mortals did right was to learn how to dance. She thought silently about all the drifters who came through Lochlen, few in numbers but always bringing a tale. She remember one a traveler told her when she was very little, it was the one that stuck with her most of all. It was the story of a curse, the best kind of story.
Alydia dwelled on her thoughts for quite some time until she noticed that her drink was almost gone... 』

Plato? Circularity? Adell had no idea who or what those words meant and Zachary's question left her on the spot. Her faced flushed a little but she did not let herself falter. "I am sorry to say but Plato and this thing called circularity are not in my area of expertise, but I do know that the only thing that is perfect in this world is death its self." Adel smiled as she thought about the last idea of Plato's. Love. Such a funny little word. The men around her threw it around like crazy. Clamming they loved her and would give her the world if they could. Such empty words stopped making her heart mummer a long time ago. "Like I mentioned before, I have no knowledge of Mr. Plato's beliefs, but when it comes to matters of love, well I'm no philosopher, but I find love to be just a simple word that explains the level of hormones that are released inside the human body. Of course you may love a person now but, what about later? After years of being with the person you love and you know longer feel that spark and the hormones have been completely depleted. Are you still with that person because you claim to love them or is it because you have to. Divorces can be ugly and two many people get involved and well..." Adell felt herself going on a rant and thought it was best to end her point of view before she said something inappropriate. "Sorry, I must have lost myself for a second there." Her place cheeks turned a light shade of peach, disguising itself as rouge on her face.
