“I will burn for you; Feel pain for you. I will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart, And tear it apart.” ☆I WILL TWIST THE KNIFE  The first two hours of the solstice party are surprisingly normal. Members of both labels arrive by private sky shuttle, and are invited into the ballroom for food and drink. It’s even more surprising when both Lesedi Santiago and Edward Blanche arrive as well, and spent most of that first period speaking quietly in a nearby lounge area. Lesedi’s body guards and Juno watch the space around them, keeping anyone of lesser important from interrupting what looks to be quite the serious discussion. After food, the ballroom stage is taken over by a number of increasingly impressive entertainment pieces. It seems to be obligatory for everyone to stay and watch (not that it’s a struggle – the talent involved is unmistakeable), but not long into it Lesedi and Edward can be seen disappearing outside together, and show no immediate signs of returning. And that’s when Naomi Rivers takes the stage. To the Virgo that have heard it before, the song is more viscerally familiar than anything you’ve only heard once should be, and it awakens the ideas that were implanted there the night before. You have a job to do here, tonight. One that is only fair – almost righteous. Lesedi Santiago and her ilk will suffer for her transgressions. The performances end, and everyone is released out to the rest of the grounds, to mingle and celebrate at their leisure. While things may seem civil on the surface, beneath that something dark is brewing. You gradually begin to notice that almost none of the more veteran members of either label are present. ► BALLROOM: The central nexus of the party, the ballroom is the location of the buffet table, the stage, and the dance floor. There will be music available all night, even after the official “performances” have ended. There are tables set up around the edges of the room for eating and relaxing. ► LOUNGE: Where Lesedi and Edward were having their meeting earlier, the lounge is filled with comfortable chairs, classic art, and a large, ornate fireplace. If you figure out who to ask, there are a number of chemical vices available to all guests. ► BALCONIES: There is a generous series of balconies that line the exterior of the upper floor. The ocean can be seen from one side and the gardens can be seen from the other. ► GUEST ROOMS: Down the halls from the ballroom there are a few generous guest bedrooms that have been left open for use. ► GARDENS: Out towards the back there are a wide variety of plants, and a well kept stone path and manmade waterfall. The plant life is on the sedate side due to the winter, but it’s still green. ► OUTDOOR POOL: There’s a pool out front with a shallow and a deep end. The water is clear and artificially warmed. ☆OOC CONSIDERATIONS Please remember that any attempted assassinations are meant to remain covert, and if your character is incapable of being stealthy then you must assume that any attempts you make are happening towards the end of the evening – let’s say around 11PM. The spell compelling people to do this does not want a riot or a bloodbath – what it wants is for people to die before the rest of the group can realize that anything is even going on. Of course, this isn’t exactly going to work out, but if you are finding yourself getting into the realm of intense physical violence you might want to stop and slow down a little.Virgo members that didn’t hear the song the night before are free from any compulsions, and so are all members of Pride. If non-mind controlled characters start clueing in to what’s going on and start trying to evacuate in large numbers, that is where you’ll want to wrap up threads and wait for Part 2 of the log, which will contain the end results and will be triggered by any large amount of chaos. If any characters attempt to escape earlier in the evening, they’ll find that the shuttles have all been grounded, and wandering in the woodland nearby just seems to result in them getting lost and ending up back at the mansion. It’s a real pickle. If you’ve got any question about what’s going on please leave them on the original plot post and they’ll get answered! The opt out event will be posted ASAP. “I will lie for you; Beg and steal for you. I will crawl on hands and knees until you see: You're just like me.” |

“HEY yourself, there, kid.”
[He eases himself against the wall behind them, assessing. Hnn. This one is Pride too, isn't he? It’s hard to tell without anyone in their usual makeup. Can he take two targets out? Sure he can, he's frickin amazing. But there is still that stupid, stupid nagging thought in the back of his mind that doing so would be too noisy and obvious...]
“Some party, huh?"
[You should GET BACK TO IT]
"I'd be careful if I were you, wouldn't wanna miss out on anything."
no subject
Tiger, Snow Bear is supposed to be at this party! [she can't help herself. the words come tumbling past her lips before she can stop them. she wanted to share in her good fortune! and Tiger's been so distant with her, this seemed like the best way that they could bond! her eyes are glittering with hope, hands clasped together under her chin]
no subject
No he's not! This is an adult party, as if they'd have Snow Bear at something like this...
[More importantly, he feels like Bill is dangerous, and he feels like whatever he's doing here must be some kind of trick on Molly, and he doesn't like it.]
no subject
"Maybe not Snow Bear, but this party has one thing the holidays wouldn't be the same without-"
[He reveals the knife. Screw it, screw all of this! Bill meets Tiger's eyes in challenge for a brief moment before making his move. Go ahead; try and stop him! He's taller than her, and with only one eye he doesn't have very good depth perception, but who cares! Bill makes a lunge for Molly.]
"SURPRISE!"
no subject
what is Bill doing...?
he's lunging at her. with a knife. Molly's easygoing smile melts away to horror as she tucks herself against the door. it won't open, and Bill is in front of her. there's nowhere to run! they need an adult! an adult that is not Bill!
she screams as she slams futilely against the door]
no subject
STOP IT!
[His small but sturdy body checks straight into Bill's - enough to send him off balance, at the very least. Then he's grabbing Molly and pulling her way, running as fast as he can back towards the populated areas of the party.]
no subject
[*** Just as young. Possibly wider. Horrified, determined, and oh- so-full of self doubt. Bill knows them well. He thinks they can be filled with more of that.
"YOU THINK, YOU CAN STOP ME? GO AHEAD, PINETREE, SHOW ME WHAT YOU'VE GOT!"
His perception is all scewed. The kid is barely an ant compared to the way Bill towers over him; nothing but a speck of dust compared to his own magnificence. He's stammering unintelligibly and Bill can't even muster up the sense to feel threatened by it. He has to break this child's spirit. Break it now before there is any chance of it rearing it's face again.
"'UM, I, UM!' DO IT, KID! DO SOME BRILLIANT THING THAT TAKES ME DOWN, RIGHT NOW. WHAT DO YOU GOT, PINETREE?! EVERYONE'S WAITING!! DO IT!!!!!---"***]
[Several things happen at once; Tiger lunges into Bill's side, and that contact is enough to rudely shove the jazz player back to reality. Cipher grapples against the wall for balance, knocks his head hard against it-- but the dream is still going; and somehow it feels so much easier to just let gravity take him. The next thing Bill knows, he is on the floor, face to face with the roaring fireplace, the last vestiges of the dream playing in tandem with his current line of sight.]
***In a flash, the red book with a golden six fingered hand is consumed by the flames,
"THAT'S RIGHT- DON'T BE A HERO, KID. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO HEROES IN MY WORLD."***]
Bill glances to find Tiger and Molly nowhere in sight. With a groan he drives the knife into the floor and lowers his head. Shit.]
no subject
she doesn't stop running until they are back on the main floor, standing in the middle of everyone. Molly's heart races, and she thinks little she could do would be able to calm it down]
What... What was that?
