OOC: PLEASE NOTE that this blog party is set as a Christmas Party, and while one night in RP time will be up till the end of the Holiday so everyone has a chance to join in. Also no drama or you will be removed and blocked.
Esmeralda now back to her normal fit self and with a grown son already as handsome as his father walked proudly and gracefully with her fingers atop of his in the proper fashion. She word a deep purple gown with lace sleeves and a sweetheart dipped neckline. The bodice of the gown fit her shapely figure like a kid skin glove. At the waist it went out full and draped to the floor.
As Apollo was now so attuned to the proper etiquette of Royalty she followed suit with what she had learned since being in Atlantis. Many eyes were upon them in Atlantis and in public they were truly the King and Queen of Romania and the Prince and Princess of Atlantis.
She seemed to float on Apollo's hand and when he bowed she bowed simultaneously with him. "Good Eve and warm wishes your Majesties." They then raised together and awaited acknowledgement from the Royal Family.
The hood of the black cloak was pulled down low over the face of the petite figure walking through the entrance doors, red tendrils of hair spilling out in deep contrast. A deep red stone hung from a golden chain around her neck to nestle against the creamy pale skin of her bosom, the low cut bodice of her form fitting dress beginning just below it. The skirt flared at her feet, her heels barely making a sound against the floor beneath them. She stopped just inside the doorway, taking in her surroundings a moment.
Pale petite hands gracing a large black stoned ring lifted to push the hood back from her face, sending it falling against her back. Red eyes peered into the crowd, looking for a familiar face. She smiled to see Nyghtwolfe dancing, an old friend from days gone by. Cothrina was her home now, her safe haven from evils of the past. She thought she recognized a couple others, but it had been a long time.
Although her dragons were not with her, she felt them in her thoughts. Even though they were always connected in her mind, she missed their presence, especially the small blue that usually perched on her shoulder protectively. Her weapons were also absent, the sai that sat at her hips and the katana that rested across her back. She had not had a social outing since she once again had been sired, mixing new blood with the vampire she had been.
Lord Knight had left Cothrina in her care while he was gone on business. She had been working with Knightley to ensure the kingdom was maintaining the same level of excellence. Her children and grandchildren had slowly been migrating there, affirming their family bond. It was time for her to venture out to create new bonds with others outside of the kingdom, and rekindle a few that had been neglected.
Arethusa smoothed out her dress a few times sucking on her lower lip as she took the stairs to the main ball room in Asgard. She was going to be meeting Revan there so she wouldn't be a wall flower the entire night. She wondered slightly if he danced as the double doors opened to her and her eyes scanned inside the ball room. All the gold was so stunning but that was simply Asgard. As her teeth let go of her lower lip she stepped inside listening to the Christmas music she picked put a champagne glass and she moved towards the fireplace. Asgard was much colder then she was used to. Her light eyes scanned the room looking for someone she knew as she sipped from her glass.
The music could be heard from outside the ballroom as Apollo and Es stepped out of their horse drawn carriage. They had enjoyed the scenery and quiet time spent together in the ride. As Apollo stepped out, he turned and offered his gorgeous wife a hand in escort.
"Shall we my love?", he smiled with adoration in his eyes. Taking her arm, he walked with a gentlemanly posture, being fully aware of this gorgeous woman at his arm. As they entered, he opened the door for his beloved gypsy and waved her on through first, with a slight bow at the waist. Apollo immediately noticed his mother careening all over the dance floor. He laughed softly, "I see my Mom wasted no time to get rowdy. Let's go find our host and hostess before she nabs us in a dance."
He again took Esmeralda's arm and walked her over to where Thor and Amora were standing in their comfort zone, "Greetings and Salutations", he said.
It only took a few bloodwine coolers to get Nyghtwolfe in a dancing mood. With goblet in hand, she pirouetted through the other mingling partygoers. She danced energetically with whoever was game enough to join her, and danced alone when no one else would. It didn't matter who she danced with, the Gangrel goddess was there to have fun, and fun she would have.
Helen was smiling as her husbands firm arm led her into the ball room, it having been a while since they were here it was all alot to take in all over again. Everything was big and bold and so beautiful, she relaxed knowing in such a large crows for once nobody would be looking at them. She watched Eos streaking off towards the other children and had to squash down her urge to want to follow and hover. Tonight would be fun and relaxing she was confident in that. At Baldurs words she tipped her head back smiling, "Oh always handsome," was her quick and all to happy response.
Baldur was leading his entire family into the ballroom his hand in his wife's fingers laced together. He looked around the room and smiled all the gold just felt right for Asgard for the ball. Baldur saw the ever growing line for his brother Thor and his sister in law Amora so he opted to skip that line but he turned to his sons. "Try and stay out of trouble." he chuckled watching Callila and Rena take off and Eos skipped towards the other children gathered around the large golden tree. He turned to his wife with a wide grin. "Care to dance beautiful?"
Karma had readied for this party because this would be her first mingling with people from other worlds. Shed heard of them sure, come across some, been open to helping those that needed her type of help. But this was social and she was excited about it all. So she donned a dress in black, much fancier then she was used to, and pinned her hair back from her face. Arriving at a castle was something new, and seeing the hall all decked on in frills and lights had her pausing for a moment. With the fleeting thought she was sorely out of place Karma strode into the room with a confident tilt to her chin. She didn't know many people and so to give herself time, to try her hand at mingling she started with a drink, snagging one from a passing tray, the bubbles of champagne tickling her nose, making her chuckle to herself.
Braylin loved the festive holiday of Christmas. The lights and glamour and comforting feeling of happiness surrounding her family. Her eyes twinkled like a thousand stars laid out on a canvas of sapphire sky. The lighted decor reflected off her red and white Christmas dress while her hair reflected the greens and golds of the twinkle. Thor and Amora have once again provided a place of magic.
The ball was full of so many familiar and loved faces. She couldn't help but blush at the looks her husband was getting from his illuminous shoes. Her hand rested gently on her almost due bump whilst her husband danced himself around and enjoyed himself. Bray took in the beauty of the decorations and caught the eye of their most wonderful hosts and one of her amazing best friends Amora and Thor. Her white gloved hand lifted and she gave a gentle wave as not to disturb the other gusets.
Amora stayed by her husbands side, a smile plastered to her face as friends and family arrived for the occasion. She thanked Gage and Keeley for their gifts and welcomed her dear friend Nyghtwolfe with a broad smile. A chuckle bubbled up before she spoke, "Ill share a dance i supposed ill be stealing enough of the dance floor with Thor once everyone arrives." Amora then laughed outright when Seven arrived heavily laden with things. "There is such a thing as going overboard," she teased him but mirrored her husbands thanks for everyone who was bringing things.
Watching so many milling about had her feeling like this ball was a very job well done and when she saw Elijah and Brenna arrive she smiled, "And they brought the baby. She looks nervous but they look happy," sh murmured up to her husband before she smiled at the tiny family trio. It had been a while since they have been in Asgard. Amora kept a watchful eye on her children, but she was still smiling, so glad so many had come to join in the celebrations, even Gala who looked to be playing Santa sporting bundles no doubt with toys.
She slowly walked into the room, not sure if it was a good idea or not. Never in her life had she seen so many Asgardians in one room. Looking around at all the beautiful decorations and lights . She was in awe, it was different from her icy Hell of a Kingdom, everyone was smiling and laughing no matter what walk of life they were. Maybe she had been lied to all of her life, maybe the Asgardians/Gods weren't bad after all.
Seeing her niece Nyghtwolfe and nephew Lok she slowly walked over to them and smiled not feeling so out of place.
Thor chuckled giving his wife a little side hug when their sons where teasing her about all the gold. His eyes moved to see Herdis slipping into the room before he noticed Mel. He leaned down to whisper in his wife's ear. "Well it would seem Magni has a date." he spoke and he looked up just in time to see Gage coming towards them he watched him hand Amora flowers and he nodded to him about him bringing a roasted boar. "You didn't need to bring anything but thank you." he told him and he turned his attention to other guest pouring in the ball room and greeting them and thanking them for coming.
When Nyghtwolfe made her way over to him listened while she spoke to Amora before she turned to him asking if they could dance. He nodded his head and chuckled. "Only if it is okay with my wife of course." he smiled to Nyghtwolfe before he noticed his good friend Seven leaving a gift basket full of goodies and he shook his head to his friend as he walked over to them. "Well Sev Amora does know how to throw a bash." he smiled at his wife before looking back to Sev. "You didn't have to bring anything you know but we thank you."
Thor looked to Malachi and his wife nodding his head and he moved to greet the other people pouring in. Thor paused when he noticed Elijah and Brenna coming in with their daughter and he smiled and leaned over once more to whisper to his wife. "Look who has come to join in on the fun." he nodded his head towards Elijah and Brenna." Thor was happy Elijah was here he was also happy he took over being king in Nilfeim.
Brenna was nervous about their first outing since the birth of their daughter. The last time she had been here she had run away not wanting to be forced into marriage, from a ball very like this one. So she was very glad for Elijahs arm around her and she smiled watching Eliana taking in all of the bright colors and twinkling lights. Looking over at Elijah as he spoke she chuckled nodding, "Maybe one day we can throw parties like this back home?" before adding quickly, "Though i doubt as gleaming and golden."
This was the first official thing he was doing as King of Nilfeim. He took a deep breathe as he was holding his and Queen Brenna's daughter in his arm and his other arm around Brenna's leading her into the ball room. He had fought beside Thor many times but only met Amora once. He was good friend with Odin's Norse twins Baldur and Vali. He turned to Brenna and he smiled. "Well Amora does know how to put on a party does she not?" he asked with a slight chuckle.
Rapunzel looked to her husband and admiring the decorations. "Yes my love let us find thor and amora and thank them for inviting us." Her arm tucked under your arm and kissing you softly.
