PQ and Retrostacja Vice Captain
|
 Posted: Tue Jun 30, 2009 6:32 pm
Yet hold me against the light, do you see any bullets inside? Gently holding the martini glass in her clunkier of her two metallic hands, PQ peered outside into the Chamber from behind one of the tapestries. Tonight was one of few nights when she was breaking her own code of fashion and letting another color adorn her body. The bits of crimson over her metallic body gave her skin almost a human skin tone as it reflected off the shimmer.
Retrostacja sat dutifully at his master's feet, a checkered collar with a red tie to match his cyborg owner. The smell of the undead was a new one, and PQ had taken Retro back into the hidden room to add the smell into his database, using King Louie himself as the sample.
No one knew that the King of Vampires was behind this door with her. There was no doubt PQ knew the vampires would feel his presence near them, but they would not know where to find them. His just being there seemed to make some of the edgier vampires calmer.
PQ turned back to look at Louie, then at Edmund who seemed to pace without taking a step. The man paced with his eyes. "Mr. Wesley, I appreciate you attending with King Louie. As a man of action, I hope you'll let me know when you sense something getting out of hand?"
The man simply nodded, sharing an unspoken exchange with Louie before the king sat himself down in one of the chairs in the vast and ornately decorated room. PQ turned to Louie and did a low bow before she headed to the door. The door would let her walk into the Chamber casually enough that it would be as if she had always been there. "Please let me know if you need anything at all."
Slipping out of the room, PQ leaned back against the door and looked at the growing amount of guests. Her heart was pounding against her chest, which could explain the several looks a few vampires were giving her. But seeing who she was, they smiled and nodded their head. Ok, I'm allowed to be nervous, but no need to be so obvious about it... You wouldn't find one if you magnified, because you got the wrong girl.

Pie spied Frogger from across the room, her boss looked fantastic. I hope MANtis is going forward with his plan. Those two are so cute. MANtis said in the bakery, when Frogger was out of range. That he was going to ask her to dance, and show off his new dancing skills.
"If you view it like that," Pie said, nodded slightly. Hoping that Hayley would accept her.
"Well, I've got enough shortcut and passage ways to fill a map." Pie grinned. Hope was filling her so she added, "And having a built-in flamethrower on you at all times is helpful."

Looking down at her watch Willamena, sigh and knew that PQ would be furious with her for being so late to the Ball. She finished her last touch ups on her make up at the beautiful Steampunk styled guest room that PQ had in her apartment, that never seemed to be used. Not minding to check if PQ was still in her room or not Mena found the directions that were given to her to find the club and ran out.
She found the Crane with ease because well it was a crane and it kinda stood out from all the others she had seen in Aekea. Either way she rushed in being very careful not to trip on the many stairs, and made it to the ball room without even falling, she was very proud of herself for that.
She stood outside of the door way to the grand room and breathed. Well here goes nothing. She crossed her fingers and opened the doors.

At the word flamethrower, Hayley's brow noticeably arched. She usually didn't like showing signs of being caught off guard, and she was thankful she wasn't taking a sip of her drink at the time.
"A flamethrower, eh? Your previous eagerness had me a little worried about your safety, but clearly I shouldn't have been so cautious." She cracks a half-smile and set her drink down.
"Tell you what. Stop by the station some time after the ball and we'll talk things over."
She noticed the beautiful plant creature that appeared to be concerned about the pastries.
"I take it that must be the legendary Frogger. I've heard about her, and I take it you don't have many tree people around this city."

Pie patted her arm, lovingly, "I'm just an eager person. But this bad boy has taught me a thing or two about seriousness and taking orders." Pie's mind reeled back to... an unpleasant event in her past. She quickly blocked it off.
"Sounds perfect, I'll stop by after work." Pie took a long drink and placed her empty cup on the counter.
Pie's eyes went back to Frogger and a smug grin appeared, "Not with all the smog in Aekea. And yes that would be her, care to be introduced?"

"And get a chance to try some of that aforementioned sausage? You kidding me?" She set her now empty class down and picked up her cane.

Keel had his scythe in his hand, it's handle touching the floor, like a staff. He normally didn't participate in events like balls, but seeing as it involved his hometown, He'd at least make an appearance. If nothing else, Say hello, make a friends, and leave.
The elevator moved slowly up, until it finally opened, and revealed the stair case. At the end, he found himself, in a rather elegant place, and was amazed, really.
He took two steps in, and stopped, gazing about and taking everything in slowly. His first ball, and it was something grand. Very grand.

Pie laughed, she could get used to Hayley's humor. "Lets get going shall we." Pie grabbed her own cane and started to lead Hayley over to Frogger.

Hayley spotted the giant blade of a sctyhe out of the corner of her eye. Looking over, she saw a large robotic man in the entryway. Figuring this to be one of the Aekeans, rather than one of the vamps, she nudged Pieta's arm.
"Hey, is that the a** over there?" She remarked as she let the cyborg guide her.

Pie stopped and looked over at the man, recognizing Keel in his fancy threads. "Oh no! That's Keel right there." Then Pie continued on through the crowd, leading the way.

"Duly noted." She replied succinctly as they approached the table and the tree woman.

Keel snapped out of his trance, when he heard his name. It was Pie, who was with another girl. He was better now, now that there was a recognizable face.
Having nothing else to really do, as the food were of no use to him, He looked to were Pie and the girl were going, and noticed Frogger, with the ever present MANtis. Not really in the mood to talk yet, He decided to find a seat on one of the numerous counches and elegant chairs, picking a particularly plain looking chair. He sat down and laid his scythe across his legs, and began bobbing his head and tapping his foot to rhythm of the music playing overhead. A well selected tune, considering the occasion.

Hayley decided to go ahead and introduce herself to the famous baker. Approaching the table, "Hi there, I don't think we've met yet. My name is Hayley. I'm new here and I'm afraid I still don't see many familiar faces." She held out her hand in greeting.
Frogger herself was beautiful and fascinating. She wondered how someone such as her could live, nevermind thrive in an environment like Aekea. Her -ahem- date, was sort of creeping her out, though.

Frogger slapped MANtis's hand when he tried to take one of the blood pastries."Those are cherry filled, youshould know that," she said, eying him.
MANtis just frowned and walked away to look around the room.
She sighed and laughed, then turned around to see Pieta heading over to the table with a friend."Hey there, Nice to meet you Haley. I'm Frogger," she said to Haley, in a nicer voice than she used with MANtis. She shook her hand back."So yeah, eat up. These aren't really for you, unless you like blood..but there are a few more edible things around."

"I'll have to try some. Not the blood ones, of course, no offense. I hear you're quite the baker." She grinned.
"And who might you be?" She asked tentatively to the bug man at Frogger's side.
