Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Anyone can join in and it's just a small masquerade, offered up by Draggonov Corp.))

Soft music played, drifting from an orchestra as they paid attention to their music sheets and producing the wonderful sound. Lights were low and soft, creating a romantic feel, even though it was a simple masquerade held by the Corp. Tables lined the room, beautifully set with little candles and gorgeous china. Silverware graced some people’s hands as they ate. Others were on the dance floor, dancing the night away. Some were wearing their masks, others weren’t.

Near the edge of everything, Skyling sat at her table, trying to maintain a conversation with one of the workers at the corp. Little crystals had been threaded throughout her ebony curls which had been swept up with only a few strays to frame her face. She wore a simple red tango dress with a small design at the bosom and a light flare at the skirt, black heels gracing her feet. At her side was her black sequined mask. She didn’t bother hiding her face. There was no need as she didn’t expect much to happen that evening. Everything seemed to make her tan skin glow.

She appeared as though she were a mystical gypsy when she was really of fae and human bloodlines. Her silver eyes showed off how bored she was, even if the expression on her face showed she was having a wonderful time. A small yawn escaped her lips as she covered it with the back of her hand so she wasn’t being rude.

She’d let Alexander stay at home as he felt a little restless. Now she wished he was there to give her some kind of company. She knew all the men, or nearly every man, either by name or sight…or so she would think as she glanced around the room. Even their dates she could guess at but didn’t feel like wasting the time to do so.

Sky never chose the music. She hated that part so she always hired someone else. Apparently this time, the person had little taste and didn't know what they were doing with the classics. Nothing to even ballroom dance too.

She glanced over at the other tables before excusing herself from her own. She needed fresh air as she felt stuffed in the room. She slipped away to go to the outdoor patio that also led to a large garden, completed with a koi pond somewhere.

She snuck a bit of bread out and was breaking off bits of pieces to feed to the fish.

She too wasn't wearing her mask, but she maintained her appearance. Sensitive hearing picked up the curse and at first she seemed to pay little attention to it before she looked up, revealing the unusual silver eyes.

She blinked, having thought she was alone outside yet his rather disheveled appearance was a bit unusual for the event....and made her wonder what he'd been up too. Even if it wasn't her place to know...it still sparked a curiousty.

"And here I thought I was alone....I thought wrong," she whispered to herself in a soft voice that seemed like black velvet. A fae trait...

She smiled. It wasn't first time nor would it be the last that someone cursed in her presence.

"The air grows warm inside and when you've been to several of such events, it grows tiredsome. Of course there are just things some can't escape from..." She shrugged mildly.

"May I ask what brings you here?"

"Miss....I'm not married or even engaged," she said holding her left hand, revealing the naked ring finger. She gave that scene up long ago when she first inherited the corp.

"I don't blame you. Half wish these things could be planned by other people. Glad I can cheat with that." She chuckled, feeling a bit sorry for the poor cordinator who had no help from her except for a decent pay check.

Sky laughed as she watched the two's banter, not bothering to hide it. Here she was, the owner of the corp that was holding the masquerade, and she was outside by someone who was considered less in status, but she never could tell the difference.

"Cheat, as in, I can hire anyone to plan this stuff out for me."

She blushed sheepishly and looked away.

"That's my fault. I should have double checked everything before saying okay..."

She made a small note to herself to do just that next time.

She jsut smiled.

"No need. It's nice hearing someone's opinion in a truthful manner. These things bore me as well....In fact I own the corporation that hosts here..."
