Welcome to Gaia! ::

It would begin soon, all too soon, the celibration of the year, the Midsummer Festival, the shortest night in other words and the Masquerade was to last untill day break the day after. "Fortune, Gilles, Remy." Quintilius called out, "The time does come near, are you ready to great the guest?" they all gave a slight nod of their head, cocky and arrogant all of them, but no finer a Chevalier could he ever hope to find in any number of ages. Dressed in clothes of Midnight blue he stood out in the bright lights of his new found home, tiny jewels sewed into the outfit sparkled as the light hit them and black of purest night cuffed his sleaves and ruffled at his neck, all carressing is soft skin with its equaly soft silk. As he walk the sound of his foot falls echoed. Trailing behind him were Fleur and Joie, "Ready milady's?" He asked inquisitively bowing slightly to them. They curtse is responce smiles on their painted faces. Dressed, or rather almost undressed they paraded behind him wearing trancluceant gauze fabric that shode of their forms. In their hands they held trays carring small goblets of wine, but around their necks a choaker of black silk with a thin chain of silver thread to the left sleave of Quintilius. "Then let us meet our guest then ladies. Percy and Guy have assured me that invitations where sent to all."

He had gotten the invite, the only thing that dazzled his baby blues was the obvious show of wealth here. "C'mon girl, let's see what they have to eat!" he said to Kiasys teasingly, and pulled her waist closer to him "It's supposed to be a long thing too."

Clasping his hands before him he slid down his mask, one that looked almost like a death mask of pagan religions. Grining beneath it he grined as he strode down the stairs as Fortune cried out, "M'Lord, Milady Vaihingen is here!" When he was before her he bowed low, bending at the waist and knee, nearly prostrating himself before her, "oh milady, it does me honor to have you come." Rising up he caught her hand and kissed her top most knuckles. "If you would be so kind to have a glass of wine." he snapped his fingers and Joie came foward, snatching a glass from her tray he handed it to her. "Come, come, he lead her up the stairs, showing the way with his left hand, while his right hand pressed her foward at the base of her spine and slowly moved lower, "You can help me greet the other guest if you would be so indulged." When again cried out the voice, "M'Lord, M'Lord Wedsday along with M'Lady Kiasys." Coming forht to greet them both he huged them close. "Oh thank you for coming, seeing people come is such a pleasure."

"Ya here that? He knew your name too! Must have heard us talkin' or something." he kissed Kiasys on the cheek and waved to Pale when he could make sure it was really her. Last time he'd seen her he'd just woken up and was a little nervous about how he was found. Now that he had a good look at Pale, it looked like the kid was coming very soon.

The lure of a drink after so long depriving herself was very stong, but she shook that thought out of her head "I think it would be best if I declined, but no offense is intended." She had been told for enough repititions that this may induce miscarriage, defects and low birth weights. "For the boon," she smiled "I wouls ask that I be brought to meet your host."

"A drink, yeah of course!" her eyes lit up and she felt elated. Wedsday with her officially, a guy with the most pleasant demenor she had ever seen, Pale in a good mood (a rarity now what with the hormones and mood swings, she hated to admit). She could hardly wait for the others to come.

"Give us plenty of wine over here!" he grinned to the man and hugged Kia. It might have sounded rude when he just shouted it out like that, but he was just excited. And in a few hours the rest of the world would wake up too "Come here" he kissed Kia softly, then her cheek lightly as well.

Kiasys turned red again and pulled away with a ackward smile "He said just to fish around for what we want." but she had heard more than that. It was the same story everywhere then: people came to Black Amber when everything else had failed, when they were beaten and oppressed- in some cases not far from suicide. An yet they were able to build such a good life here. She hoped it was the case with this new person two. That he would be lucky.
