Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oh? I think you'd look cute in one." He traced meaningless patterns on his little lover's chest and down his stomach. "Especially if someone forgot the panties." He snickered. "It might be a more interesting meeting for me anyways." He undid the button of Max's pants. "Now what shall I dress you in? I have some red silk pants I think you'd look smashing in... Or maybe, oooh the velvet ones."

Reizend smiled...the show had ended and all his photo's were sold and all but one painting. He picked up the picture and the checks...yeah for moeny...now he could pay the long over due rent and get some food and new supplies. He had to pay alot of people back. "So where to now?" He asked Trevor. He couldn't help ponder on their meeting...then just how things happened. But...he didn't regret any of it, for once in his life...there was no sigh or glimpse of regret or confusion. Well perhaps some confusion still exsisted but this was earth, it would always be there.

Shadow smiled gleefully as he pressed his lips against the other's at the suddenly passionate kiss. He knew his lips had to be blue suddenly. After the request his eyes lit up. "Of course my love. Anything for you." He hailed a cab and pulled the other in with him. He requested the driver to take them to a nice hotel in broken Italian. After the order he went immediately back to caressing and kissing passionately the beautiful Gabriel that sat in the back of the car with him. He gave the driver a show and made sure that the individual in the cab looked at them from time to time as he leaned his head back to give Gabriel access to his neck. He was almost half tempted to strip and get to serious business righ then and there until they stopped at a lovely hotel. Shadow tipped the driver and they were away, hand in hand.

A room was ordered and the two were on their way up the elevator with a few other passengers. Once again making out and caressing the other loving and kissing and rubbing and grinding. He sucked on the skin of Gabriel's neck fiercely wanting very much to leap into the other's body wholey as if it were the only way to be close to someone you desired.

Finally the room. Shadow pulled the key from his pocket. He hated the swipe cards, what was the point of them aside from being a general neusence and avoiding locking one inside, another key could be created in a few seconds with a magnetic strip. He fumbled with it while continuing to kiss and fondle his love by pressing him up against the door there as he consistently caused the door to show it's red light to deny entry. If it didn't work in a moment he was just going to use the hallway.

At last, a green light and a click. Shadow shoved the door open quickly and pulled Gabriel in with him and slammed the door behind him. He pressed the other further and further until they were finally at the king size bed which he then pressed Gabriel to it until he was now sitting down. He continued to stand and pressed the other's makeduped face against his now bare chest as he threw away his shirt to the floor. "Gabriel. I love you!" He made the exclaimation as he pressed the other down to the bed and pressed his lips once again to the other's knowing that his face must be also covered in the blue, white and black makeup.

((p.s. everyone would know where we're going if you paid attention. *smirk*))

(sorry to be rude, but council come on! get ye acts together...amoire isn't much a main chara, so I'm waiting on what to do~ new age is waiting to get back in the game again so~ hurry~ pwease~ Start a coucil session.)

((I need to run this by you Lyre, before it's in play, cause it's his baby after all and I'm not 100% sure how he wanted the council... so this is what I'm thinking for the council post. Give me a thumbs up or down Lyre.*nod*))

The time had come and the council had convened. It was that time in the night past midnight in the designated time that had caused the group of elders to come together around the ancient council table that was set and hidden as a symbol of promise and future of the world as it would be under the rule of wise vampires who held humanity above all material possessions. There were Latin inscriptions all over the stone that was the semi circle table. In the center was Anthony's seat. The other seats had never been assigned to anyone. Just to whichever elder felt his needs were greater and in need to be discussed closer to Anthony's ear. They always took their share of turns as well. Council meetings could take several nights to be finished and the chance to sit at Anthony's right hand was always quite easy to accomplish. To his left this time Yoshitaka sat. There hadn't been a meeting in quite some time. He didn't wish for any elders with old grudges to try anything foolish after all. He would protect Anthony with his own life if the need arose.

Alex looked around, not sure where he should sit and decided that perhaps right beside Anthony would either show him as a coward or as a brave man depending on the viewpoint. He didn't care which, but he did care about his impression. He sat at Anthony's right. He would relinquish that spot the next night if that was necessary.

Finally the council was called to order and the other elders that Yoshitaka hadn't seen in quite some time already were flapping their mouths about what should be done with the new vampires in the world, that the rate at which they were being borne to darkness was starting to get out of hand. He had expected that. He had hoped that the council had grown in patience and they could tend to more economic matters at the moment, like trying to alleviate pain and suffering in some less fortunate countries or a topic of the like, however he was prepared for this as well. Each in turn hearing the same questions and arguments over and over, that the young had gotten out of control and that something had to be done before hunters over the world became aware of their race, much less the entire human race figuring out that they existed.

Lucien had dressed himself in a robe of fine white Chinese silk. It was trimmed with silver embroidery and split up the middle to show off his pale violet pants. His soft-soled boots were adorned with small jewels and turned up at the toes slightly making him look vaugely like a sultan or something of the sort. The garments the vampires wore at Council meetings were always very elaborate and beautiful. Nothing was considered too outlandish. After all, when you're over a thousand years old, you can wear whatever the hell you want.

"If you need to get up and use the bathroom or get something to eat go right ahead," he told Max, patting him on the behind. Their time together before the meeting had been much too brief for his liking. He sat down on the other side of Yoshitaka and patted his lap for Max to have a seat. ((Lelio-san you can decide what Lucien dressed him in. wink ))

Anthony rose from his seat and by force of habit all the vampires fell instantly silent. He smiled. It was good to see they still had their respect for him. He had dressed in black velvet. The robe he wore looked very much like a toga on the top except that the front piece was so long it touched the floor. On the sides it was divided up to the hips, revealing red silk pants underneath. "My brothers and sisters in darkness," he addressed them. "It has been a long time since the Midnight Council has come together. Let me welcome you once again. It is good to see you all here." He bowed his head slightly in greeting.

"As you are aware, there are many problems in this world today. Foremost on your minds is the problem of so many dark children being born continuously." It was not unusual, among Council members to point out what other people were thinking. They all knew their thoughts could be sensed by others. "At this alarming rate, should we do nothing, we face exposure to humanity, and worse, starvation." He rested his fingertips on the stone table. "I will not turn my eyes from this matter. I commit myself to finding a solution. One that is beneficial to us all. I need not tell you that humanity is not yet ready to face the reality of the darkness that is vampire kind. And I for one, contrary to popular belief, am not prepared to die."

He let that sink in for a moment before continuing with his opening speech. "You may have noticed that there are some differences in the attendance here. Where there were once sixteen of us there are eighteen. Lucien has his human consort who has seen us as we are and cannot be part of the human world any longer. If you cannot abide by human presence here, you may speak to me on the matter." He inclined his head, dark eyes scanning the room. One could have heard a pin drop. "The other presence is Alex." He rested a hand on Alex's shoulder. "He is a fledgling whom I have decided to induct into the council."

There was agitated murmuring at this. "If you object to this addition, please consider first that this fledgling is the one who saved me from final death."
