The atmosphere at the club tonight is a bit different than what it usually is.[break][break]

Though the chandeliers shine the same and bathe the room in a soft golden light, and the stage at the far left side of the room holds a live band like it always does, the classical music that wafts the air is less upbeat and more elegant than the modern artists usually performing for the audience. The walls of Icarus are decorated with flowers and vines imported from exotic locations for the sake of display. The marble floors, clear of its usual furniture, are draped in velvet carpets as they guide the crowd of distinguished guests and accompanying Pokemon hiding behind luxury fabric and gem-encrusted masks. The staff walking around the establishment wear black vests and matching masks.[break][break]

It makes Aris sick to his stomach, but he has a role to play, and today it's to be host to some filthy rich executive's birthday celebration as if her ego isn't swelling out of her wallet already.[break][break]

His ensemble is not unlike the guests swarming his club. A dark, silken coat adorns his shoulders as it compliments the golden shirt he wears underneath, unbuttoned and exposing some of his skin. A white feather sits pinned against one side of his chest and a golden mask covers half his face. There was a time in his life when he could barely fathom being part of such luxury.[break][break]

Nalia, his Houndour, sits obediently beside Aris' feet as she looks around the sea of hidden faces. Her master is currently engaged in conversation with one of the guests. Though he considers himself a social man, there's just something about these snobby assholes that makes Aris question that part of himself. To be quite honest, he's only present at this event out of obligation and responsibility.[break]
