Aurelie Lefevre

WHISPERS OF THE WITCHING HOUR [EVENT]

POSTED ON Sept 26, 2024 3:20:45 GMT

Aurelie had once heard that, back during the addictive days of the Rondez-View of Luv's first explosion of popularity across Hoenn last spring, one of the routes featuring her—a strange enough concept on its own—had followed a horror theme. Something about a ghost haunting her ancestral estate, to the point that she'd requested the services of an occult investigator, the protagonist.

Clearly, whatever the RVL simulations and possibly Macros Cosmos had sensed about her propensity for the supernatural was what drew Aurelie to the mysteries of Hollowcrest Hall. Right? Surely, that was all it was?

Though the offer of free food and a chance to relax, solve some mysteries, and forget about her troubles for one night didn't hurt.

Led inside the extravagant mansion by a brightly-glowing Lampent, she walked directly toward the lavish buffet table laden with all manner of appetizers and drinks. Somewhere in the back of Aurelie's mind, she remembered her mother's advice: "move like a willow, head high with pride, limbs flowing with grace." Whether anyone noticed her attempts to follow said advice, though, remained to be seen.

She did pause for a moment in startlement before the floating instruments seemingly played by invisible musicians, weaving sweet melodies for the grand occasion. Moved by the lively rhythm, Aurelie couldn't help spinning around and laughing in delight, performing a little twirl all by herself to the music's beat.

Unfortunately, her twirl caused her to collide directly into someone else lingering in front of the floating musical instruments. "Oh, Arceus!" she exclaimed contritely, reaching out to steady him before she tripped them both up. "Are you all right?"

The other guest, to her surprise, seemed to be wearing a cheap plastic mask like you'd find at a kids' costume shop—a direct contrast to her own, which she'd cast herself from brass to fit her face perfectly and hide the scars over her eye. Aurelie smiled weakly.

"So sorry for that," she apologized. "I really didn't see you there. Can I...get you a drink? Or some food? To make up for the faux pas?"

Alba Evovae

Notes
- Mask, Dress
- Enters out of curiosity, is fascinated by the buffet and the floaty musicians
- Does a little twirl by herself and runs straight into Alba
- Apologizes and asks if she can make amends with an offering of food or drink from the buffet tables

[attr="class","postbox"]

noah convinces himself this is for the greater good. to restore kyle's memories bit by bit by proximity, as if spending more time together could cause recollection to rub off. [break][break]

the masques serve double purpose: to fit with the festivities and to hide kyle's identity. though kyle alone may be able to wade through the crowd without notice, the two together raises the risk of discovery.[break][break]

and so, noah comes, wearing a mask that covers most of his face and shoes with insoles to make him taller.[break][break]

"sorry." noah closes the call with a tap of his thumb. "getting ready took longer than i thought. ready to go in?"

Absinthe Blackwood

WHISPERS OF THE WITCHING HOUR [EVENT]

POSTED ON Sept 26, 2024 5:21:56 GMT

[nospaces]

[attr="class","absinthe"]

[attr="class","body"]

there had been the inkling, though perhaps not much more, that evelyn had forgotten her—too consumed in some delight or drink to realize absinthe had been left behind. that, or evelyn enjoyed the parties she took the woman to, and simply trusted absinthe enough to leave her to her own devices. it occurs to absinthe how little she cares either way; if she is being completely honest, the ball will be little more than a mosquito bite in her memory. less infuriating than a team rocket meeting, but more drawn-out, duller.[break][break]

masquerades, with their sultry looks and sly promises, inspire conspiracies. hushed words can be hidden with little more than a breath of silk over glass; skin gives way to silk, truth to lies. evelyn lies like she breathes, and flirts like most people walk. it seems less out of place here than most venues.[break][break]

all the black-garbed absinthe has to do is occupy the corner.[break][break]

and yet, here she is, communing with the eerie company that has crawled out from the halls. there has been dancing, display, discussion—rabble, in comparison to her work. and now, with the way the room seemes to almost tremble, it wis so much more than it appears to be. and, holy hell, how does evelyn manage to look even more radiant than she usually does?[break][break]

"fine, it looks fine." is all absinthe says about her own dress, almost curt with how firm the sentence comes to a close—it seems she is a stranger to both compliments and looking as if she actually put effort into her appearance. "you're one to talk, evelyn. it looks like you belong here." and she does: fairy queen, enchantress, it all seems to suit the vespertine woman's whims. she's very good at looking like she belongs places.[break][break]

in a moment, absinthe both envies and admires her, and then kills the thought.[break][break]

as for the prior proceedings, absinthe absentmindedly swirls her glass with a shrug, the model of a woman uninterested in the shenanigans of her oddly buffoon-like superior. has he always been so... weird? "nothing good," she says dryly. at least, not that she's been privy to. "a few distractions. a man hiding under the table. the usual. i'm expecting you to bring the excitement tonight, evelyn. show me a good time."[break][break]

a challenge hangs heavy in her voice. absinthe has never enjoyed a party, not even once. though she would never admit, she hopes that evelyn may break the cycle.

Vespa nearly drops the small plate she has put quite a tremendous amount of food on by now, as she hears a voice that seems to be talking to her - definitely feels her fingers slipping as she gazes upon the gorgeously dressed individual that goes with the voice, shimmering in her own as if submerged in light. It's only her instinct not to ruin the - even if a little strange - food that she grips it firmly with two hands, feeling how her face heats up immediately. Oh shit. Oh shit. Does she even remember her name? Oh Arceus-[break]
[break]
"U-uh - err - I'm - thanks," she stutters forth, her eyes somewhat stuck on DESIREE BLOOMS before staring very intensely at the piled-up food in front of her, flushed cheeks that burn bright and are only barely covered by the fall of her hair. Why did she only wear a half-mask? Ah ... her face must be so visible right now, that's so embarrassing - and she can only hear the snickering of the Misdreavus as she floats loops, very unlike the Grookey whose likeness she is wearing right now. Before she can register, the words flow out one after another - first clogged in her throat before rushing out all at once, "e-enjoy your eve-ning, Miss ... you'reverybeautifulbytheway-"[break]
[break]
She thinks she saw howard slayte hiding under a table before. Maybe she should try that, too, actually ...

TL;DR

- Vespa wears a Wooper mask and a mintgreen dress, and she is accompanied by her partner Quinn Crisp the Misdreavus who wears a Grookey mask.[break]
- After being complimented by DESIREE BLOOMS, falls into a little lesbian panic.

While Adrian looks around for some sort of host, he instead recognizes what might've been a former CHAMPION. Or maybe it was nobody. But the moment he noticed what might've been a member of the League, he hoped to steer clear of them. He grabs Raziel Beckett by the arm, hoping to steer him away from the entrance hall and deeper into the manse: Whatever that entailed...[break][break]

"Let's... check out the amenities," he explained to Raziel, hoping to drag them away before they could hog up too many snacks.[break]

A night of mystery, intrigue, an indulgence for those who have always wondered what it would be like to hide in plain sight, to wear a facade that would disappear into the shadows. Masks worn by each and every guest, shrouding them from themselves and leaving the outside world behind. There was beauty in the unknown.[break][break]
A soft smile lingered beneath one of the many glittering masks that roamed through the ballroom, visitors were still arriving, others had already begun to enjoy the atmosphere. The brunette looked out amongst those who had gathered like herself, moving across the floor that was sure to hold as many stories as any guest could tell, finding two gentlemen drifting away from the food and refreshements.[break][break]
"Quite a party, isn't it? I've never seen anything like this place before," she nodded to them both in greeting, mingling with anyone and everyone who was milling about the ballroom.[break]
"Was there anything good at the refreshment table?"

While the permission wasn't what he was talking about he does seem grateful for it. He was more questioning about the people having gone underneath the table but it wasn't like he knew them so no point in asking further about it he suppose. Though now it was the problem with choosing as it was still something was struggling with. Too long was he required to just do as told, so when he woke up here and he was allowed the freedom to choose he didn't know how. All he ends up going for were for the grapes that were made to look like eyes. [break][break]

He has a few before Adrian takes his hand and starts moving them away from the table when more people start to gather. The young man just allowing himself to be pulled, though it doesn't feel like they get far when another (Yuina Higashi) interrupts their path. Obviously he didn't know who she was, nor anyone else given the mask and outfits but he offers a smile anyways, "Uhhh yeah its really cool, never been to anything like it before either so its exciting to see, especially the ghost!" he simply replies back a bit nervous about interacting with new people. [break][break]

He does show off one of the grapes he picked up, "They have some decorative snacks"

Cillian's smart enough to put two and two together. Chu-e's lament at the lack of a dance partner, Howard cowering under the table. It doesn't mean he's not surprised.[break][break]

Howard distracts him from pondering it, however, when he calls Makoto Kurumi by name. The underboss shifts his attention to the masked individual. "Apologies, I didn't know it was you. He's right; you do look lovely." Behind the mask, his golden eyes grow wide at the insinuation that Howard and Chu-e are a thing. "Oh, they're not," he says quickly, though his confidence falters. Right?[break][break]

He figured Chu-e would've told him if they had a new partner.[break][break]

Thank Arceus, Howard confirms it a moment later. Cillian's confusion turns to amusement at the man's expense.[break][break]

When Howard suggests they part ways with their current company, Cillian dips his head in silent agreement and follows away from the gathered crowd.[break][break]

"This isn't just about the Keystone, I assume." He doubts the archaeologist would've minded extra company if it were. Any excuse to talk about their craft. "What's up?"

He put an arm around Cillian Quinn's shoulder, meandering with a drunken swagger as he grinned from beneath his paper bag. Combined with leaning on the older man and his direct superior, it was the guise of a drunk. He snatched a full bottle of wine from a passing Dusclops and raised it to NIKOLA SAMSA and Makoto Kurumi.

"Cheers! Me and the bossman have things to discuss! Like your salaries." Howard waggled a finger and steered Cillian away from the crowd and into a separate hall. "You all better be dancing when we get back! That's an order!"

As their footsteps echoed through the hall, the admin returned to his normal gait, separating from Cillian with remarkable lucidity. His eye flickered with alertness as he regarded the hall, full of paintings of myths and legends. Many were inaccurate, with details now easily verifiable in this age of gods and men.

How quickly, the century turned.

"Chu-e, I swear to Arceus..." He rubbed a hand against his temple through the bag.

Howard latched onto the topic of the Keystone like a man possessed.

"No, but it is a nice piece. I'd like to find it if possible." Howard's voice was conversational and clear. "I don't trust this masquerade, man. You've heard the rumors of portals to other worlds?"

He would've killed for a cigarette right now. He considered snatching one off Cillian, but bottled the intent.

"Every rumor is sprouted from a seed of nonfiction." The bag turned to face the underboss. "I don't trust this masquerade."

Pretends to be drunk to worm off with Cillian to yap about fossils and whatnot, quickly sobers up as they end up 'alone' and starts yapping about the party

The more Alba stared at the invisible floating orchestra, the more he was convinced… that it was just a band of Ghost-type Pokémon, the same way there were Ghost-types drifting here and there as spectral servants. A bit mundane for his tastes, but there were other strange things about this mansion. Portals to other worlds, huh? What was that all abou—[break][break]

Whatever he was about to think about vanished completely as someone barrels into him, nearly knocking him to the floor completely if it wasn’t for her trying to steady him.[break][break]

“Don’t worry about it, I’m fine.” He was kind of sore, actually, but it wasn’t really worth making a fuss about.[break][break]

“But a drink…” He side-glances back to the table where Howard and Cillian— weren’t there anymore…? Well, whatever. They were grown men, they could go wherever they wanted. Under the masquerade mask, he walked in the strange place in-between personas; not quite Rocket, not quite civilian. If they wanted to scheme away, they could, but he wouldn’t go deliberately poking around in things.[break][break]

…Probably not, anyway. Maybe.[break][break]

“A drink sounds great.” So let’s forget about them and get back to the celebration![break][break]

“So, have you heard some of the rumours about this place? Apparently, the whole building is built on top of a graveyard…”

what is even happening here...!?!?[break][break]

to attempt to make heads or tails of this scenario would likely induce a sharp pain on the paldean's mind like a vespiquen's fell stinger. then again, blending in with the masses - especially a horde of fellow masked party guests - had never been a particularly strong suit for silverio. come to think of it, when has he ever done anything to try and stand out in a crowd? apparently, perhaps never. regardless, it's easy to say that he's here for a good time, much like anyone else.[break][break]

but not for a long time, as one may say...[break][break]

another sip of wine. meanwhile, a misdreavus floats towards him, circlin around him then darting off in a way leading to a table loaded with refreshments. it's as if it was directing him there; did it sense the inaudible rumbling in his stomach? or could that it be offering some company? no matter, but in any case, some hors d'oeuvres ought to do the man some justice right about now. probably![break][break]

indeed, he sets a course for the said tables, with the ghost pokemon trailing off to his side, as he the thought of a 'plus-one' lingers -- suppose he shouldn't have come alone after all.[break][break]

[attr="class","aurelie-lyrics"]Give a man a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
[attr="class","border"]

Never particularly perceptive, Aurelie merely smiled in relief when the fellow she'd bumped into assured her that he was fine after their unceremonious collision. "I'm so glad to hear that! I really should've known better. Especially when I haven't even had a drop yet!"

She grinned when the man accepted her offer of a drink as an apology for her ineptitude and gestured toward the bar. "So, let's change that, shall we? Come on!"

Thankfully, the crowd around the banquet table and bar had thinned a little, as guests started chatting, mingling, or dancing in different areas of the ballroom. Still, Aurelie found herself having to shoulder a few people aside or even jab a high heel into a foot at times as she struggled to forge a path forward to the bar.

"So, wait, what were you saying earlier about this place?" she remarked to Alba, while elbowing someone in their way. "Is this place really built on top of a graveyard? Yikes! I had no idea!

"If that's really true, that...doesn't seem like the smartest choice," she reflected, frowning a little. "But it explains all the Ghost-type Pokemon everywhere, I guess." She shivered a little as they finally approached the bar after several minutes, where a very tall and very garishly dressed figure was already demanding a glass of Bordeaux.

Though Aurelie wasn't sure things would make any more sense after having a drink, she was pretty sure she'd be having more fun. So, she called out eagerly in the direction of the bar, "And if you don't mind, can I have an apple cider cocktail, please? And whatever my friend wants, on my tab!"

For a moment, there was no response. No human bartender ever came into sight. However, a minute later, to her surprise, a Gengar emerged from the shadows with a tray holding three glasses. Smiling eerily at the three of them, it offered a tall goblet of dark-red wine to the very tall man, a wide-mouthed glass of sparkling cocktail to Aurelie, and finally an elegant flute to Alba filled with his drink of choice.

"I...um...well, thank you," the redhead managed to stammer, staring at the Gengar quizzically. Putting away the tray, it disappeared back into the shadows as she cautiously eyed her drink.

"That was...surprising," she commented aloud. "But maybe I should've expected it in a place like this. Well, à votre santé!" she added merrily, raising her glass. "Cul sec!"

as much as nikola loves eavesdropping, there's a time and a place for it. so they just wave howard slayte off, calling after him, "put in a good word for me, why don't you?" in a cheeky tone. doesn't hurt to try, right? if they can get a raise they can pay off some of these medical bills they've been accruing. hopefully.[break][break]

the plague doctor turns to Makoto Kurumi, giving them a dramatic bow. "you heard the bossman," they say, extending a hand. it's easier to be this bold when their identity is relatively unknown, they think. that, and they've already had a glass or two of wine and an assortment of cheeses to go with, so they're feeling a bit friskier than usual. just so long as you don't start behaving like catellus, they chide themself silently. "shall we dance... was it makoto, slayte called you? if it weren't a masquerade, i'd give you my full name... but as i'd like my own identity to remain on the down-low... you may simply call me samsa, for now." proper introductions can be done when they're not in a room full of league goons who might catch a snippet or two of conversation.

Cillian Quinn's compliment was unexpected, and Makoto couldn't help but blink a little owlishly at it all. The bashful flush that Howard's compliment gave them was maintained - although they weren't sure how they felt about receiving a compliment from Cillian of all people. "A-ah... Thank you, sir..." They murmured, twiddling their thumbs a little to fidget.

But otherwise... Makoto wasn't sure what howard slayte's and Chu-e Choi's relationship was, even if it wasn't anything romantic or intimate. But they had a feeling if they asked about it, they'd only get further questions. That Howard was once engaged certainly raised a few, but well...

That was none of their business, they recognized distantly. And they had a feeling he was getting annoyed at the present situation, so they didn't want to crowd him further.

Thus, Howard would make his departure with Cillian - which left them with everyone else who had congregated around the table.

At first, Makoto and Kama are content to enjoy the food and non-alcoholic drink. However, the last thing they expect is for someone - NIKOLA SAMSA - to actually invite them to dance. "Oh, uhm..." It's clear that they're not sure about the invitation at first. However, Kama gently pushes Makoto in Nikola's direction with an encouraging chitter - which seems to help Makoto make up their mind.

Carefully, they take the offered hand - and in a soft voice, so Samsa can only hear, they confess "I'm not necessarily clumsy, but... It's... been a very long time, since I've ever danced." Technically true, although they weren't about to elaborating the specifics. Hopefully, Samsa wouldn't expect them to be ready to spin and dip people...

TLDR/NOTES: Makoto's dressed decently nice, but also using illusions from Kuro (who is hidden in their shadow) to add some ghostly special effects. Kama is dressed up like a little butler and accompanying Makoto.

Cillian Quinn's compliment catches Makoto off guard, they aren't sure how to feel about it but thank him for it. howard slayte's responses about him and Chu-e Choi does clear things up, but raises more questions for them - but they aren't interested in prying. When Howard leaves, they intend to simply enjoy the catering - but they are invited to dance by NIKOLA SAMSA! They almost get cold feet - but Kama encourages them to accept it. They let Samsa know that they're not necessarily clumsy, but gonna be rusty af.
