| (( @ShadowFoxKitfox Yeah I feel the same way. Sort of done with this plot line. Till next time! I had a lot of fun. @Windstorm I think we are... That isn't to say we aren't going to start another one again some time. Feel free to join our group if you want to be notified whenever that may be c: )) |
| @ShadowFoxKitfox @Sundavr (( sorry I died D8 Work got a little cray cray. )) With no sign of Mog anywhere underfoot Devin decided it was more than appropriate to indulge in a drink and without having to dance for it made whatever he ordered all the more sweet. "I would be delighted." Perhaps the most truthful thing that had been stated on his part the entire event. Even if the company was a little... Strange. A free drink more than made up for all that. Devin would sit with just about anyone if they offered him his most favorite weakness. "Though I'm not sure how much longer they will remain, ah, open." Glancing inside the Lounge there remained but one bartender and one serving girl who were currently engaged in mild conversation as there didn't really appear to be anything else for them to do. |
| @Sundavr @ShadowFoxKitfox @shylarah (( Happy Birthday!!!! )) Devin being a man of exuberant means hardly required compensation of the exchangeable sort and had half the notion to decline until he realized Odel was offering him a drink. Now that was something worth dancing for. Even with some one who seemed as ill suited for it as this Ruby. Strange how differently the pair handled themselves. Wondering just how interested the lady even was in dancing Devin shrugged. "I could be so persuaded." He offered his hand choosing to think of it more as a challenge. Attesting to his own skills for the world, or what was left of the masquerade, to see. "If the lady desires a dance who am I to deny her?" He winked, or maybe he blinked, his eye patch made it impossible to tell. Speaking of who was left, the lady Kyriel floated into their midst albeit apprehensively Devin noticed. If the orchestra remained and he survived the next dance with Ruby perhaps he would try his luck at getting the exotic angel lady to dance with him as well. After a drink of course. Odel had all but promised him one and he intended to see the favor paid. |
| @ShadowFoxKitfox (( Man am I dyslexic X3 My bad lol )) Bambi, that was different. Her attitude was sort of refreshing besides. Lifting a brow Devin smiled. "Devin, actually. But does it really matter this late in the game?" He swept a regal bow before them both and straitening with a grin added. "The pleasure is all mine I'm sure." The girls tail moved a bit leading him to believe that it hadn't simply been dismembered from an animal for the sake of accenting an outfit. Had it been Devin wouldn't have spent much time with them. Something about wearing a dead animal was off putting. Perhaps because he himself was more closely related to a beast of the field than your average biped. Devin even had a tail of his own, though it was smaller and more easily concealed. Aside from his skin, which was actually very short fur, the thing that most obviously set him apart from a human was his feet which were not feet but rather hooves. "You picked an odd time to introduce a newcomer to the party." Looking around the room the majority of persons still about were the staff and with still no sign of his favorite bartender Devin's smile diminished somewhat. |
| @ShadowFoxKitfox Glancing up from the sea of self pity he was like to drown in, Devin caught a glimpse of a familiar head of hair. Bright blue was a hard thing to miss even if the ball room wasn't so empty. The lady on his arm, however neutral her hair was, looked a great deal like Odel only younger and much more like a lady. Well as much of a lady as a lady could look in giant pair of boots, was that a tail? Most interesting. Making no motion to straiten from his leaning on the wall he simply grinned. "Odel you didn't tell me you had a daughter." There were plenty of things Odel hadn't told him, they weren't exactly friends, estranged acquaintances at beast but the event was soon to end why not have a bit of fun. Part of himself wouldn't even much mind being hit, anything to distract him from the discomfort he had been feeling in his chest. "Haven't seen you two around, is there a private wing or something I somehow managed to miss an invitation to?" That would have been a shame but something told him they had been dealing with less relaxing circumstances. Not that he much cared for the details, he was sort of glad to have found someone worth talking to. (( Liana isn't here she went off to do Liana things. lol digital plush cookie... Now that's a dish I have yet to sample. )) |
| @ ShadowFoxKitfox (( Devin is still around in the ball room area. )) @Kia @Kibu Apparently intrigue worked both ways, having had something already it became less desirable. Knowing this still didn't prevent Devin from feeling a twinge of jealousy when Kia abandoned his company so easily for Lucas's own. "Of course, till next time." He frowned slightly when she turned. Sure the lady was able to handle herself but as far as Devin could remember she hadn't had any complaints about the way had had handled her previously. The thought caused him to grin even if he had been severely to drunk to properly remember much of anything... He lingered at the bar while watching Kia float from the room on the arm of another man. Let her go, the world was full of others who could satiate his desires. Standing with a stretch he wandered back towards the dance floor and passed a glance toward the garden where the gardener and two suits were still having quite the animated discussion. He paused leaning on the wall undecided about his next course of action. Should he bypass the waiting game and simply seek out Liana or would he linger a while longer and see if he couldn't find someone to help soothe his bruised ego? So far the creature that passed as a cat hadn't yet come to retrieve him. Would it? Would she leave him like Kia had? Rejection hit him harder than he would ever openly admit but it didn't stop the worries and uncertainties from creeping in and further spoiling his mood. |
| @Kia @Kibu Devin was letdown. Lucas's explanation wasn't nearly as scandalous as he had hoped, instead it was rather endearing in a sad sort of lackluster way. "That's a noble cause if I ever heard of one." He had a few other things in mind most of which involved cracking jokes but the subject appeared to be sore enough as it was. Reluctantly, Devin parted ways with his empty glass when the bar man came to retrieve it. He felt like a baby who had just been robbed of candy even if he had been the one to finish it off. "If you want my advice, and I'm sure you don't." He continued regardless. "One requires time to recharge his batteries every now and again." Throwing caution to the wind Devin continued. "What would come of it if you expired early in life due to something as avoidable as exhaustion? Time off is good for everyone involved, I wouldn't feel guilty and negate the intention entirely." Pausing to shrug he added. "But that's just me." He didn't really care how Lucas chose to spend his time and doubtless his opinion mattered about as much as a squirrel fart in the wind but he threw it out there all the same. In a few hours they would likely never see each other again why not speak his mind. |
| @Kia @Kibu Devin's gaze narrowed a bit when Lucas stumbled and failed to name his alternative trade. Very curious, what could be so terrible? Obviously it played a large role in his life if he worked at it for months at a time. Strange he didn't wish to discuss it further. Hardly the analytical type Devin simply lifted a brow and took the last swig of his beverage, it really hit the spot. Even if there was no possible way he would actually 'feel' one drink it was enjoyable all the same. "Don't be shy." He grinned. "You can trust us." Nudging Kia slightly his grin broadened. "You can't bring it up and not tell." Leaning over his empty glass he decided he liked Lucas better with a bit of a blush. Sure the topic of work was dull but when it caused the other man to falter Devin found himself suddenly invested in the conversation. |
| @Kibu @Kia A smile the kind you would expect to find on a child invited to Disneyland for the first time spread across the prince's lips. "Well if the lady insists." He sat promptly and ordered a modestly priced cocktail much to his own delight. If Lucas hadn't been so adamantly opposed to any sort of fun Devin would have leaned over and kissed the girl. Thanks to his current state of complete sobriety Devin wagered that man wouldn't give a second thought to hitting him and returning home with a black eye wouldn't suit his later ambitions. How Lucas could ever feel sorry for having grand experiences gifted to him Devin just couldn't understand. Not to mention the mans obvious work ethic. Committed was another word for it, the prince enjoyed none of it. Not that a man like that wasn't to be admired in his own right. Without them people better suited to living the luxurious life wouldn't have so much of the privilege. Devin may have been spoiled but surprisingly he wasn't so completely naive. "In my experience that means you require more of them." Lifting his glass to Lucas he quite possibly winked, maybe blinked, and took a sip. |

| @Kibu @Kia Now that Liana had departed there was really no reason to lie about it. As much as Devin appreciated Lucas's offer he waved a hand dismissively at the suggestion. "Not if my life depended on it but thank you all the same." He grinned and leaned on the bar like how he usually would. The bars here he noted were a bit shorted than the ones back home, must have been because the average human height was a bit shorter than the average of his kin. Sort of a useless observation but one made regardless. A real shame that the one fantastically talented not to mention handsome bartender hadn't come back around. If he had Devin's last few hours may have been slightly more... memorable. Or at least as memorable as an alcoholic haze could be. From what he had sampled the drinks here were far superior when compared to that of the undergrounds but as always when compared to that of his home town tonics they fell not surprisingly short of perfection. Thinking about it now only made the want for it all the worse and he was concerned to think that he may even be a little relieved to be returning home. An odd thought for once, most of the time he spent his days dreaming of an escape. Now caught between another mug of tea and returning to his personal chambers he would almost rather the latter. Glancing around briefly he found no sign of Mog or really anyone else who caught his eye. Really the population of the place was diminishing before their eyes though the rooms weren't yet entirely devoid of life. Across the ballroom floor there appeared to be a heated conversation going on out on the balconies between two men in suit jackets and a man who, by the way he dressed and the amount of dirt visible from afar that covered his overalls, could only be a gardener. Whatever the topic the gardener didn't seem very pleased with how the conversation was going. Devin dismissed this almost immediately and instead turned back to the bar happening to pass a glance at the liquor shelves sparkling just out of reach. Had he been alone he would have shed a single tear. No, if he had been alone those bottles wouldn't be half as full. |
| @Kia Devin took the offered car and stuffed it into his breast pocket with a sly grin. "Generally they are kept inside a drawer or box to prevent such catastrophes. Maybe I'll have one sent to you anyway. I would much rather see your face than have to imagine it over a letter." Gently he scooped up one of her hands and kissed it softly. Sure he was a self obsessed lascivious creature but it would be a lie if he said he didn't enjoy Kia's company for one reason or another. Not to mention having her around would no doubt infuriate his mother something fierce. If the prince lived for anything aside from drinking and premarital relations it was to greatly displease his mother in any number of creative ways. A human girl would no doubt cause her to break her usually stoic composure towards Devin's misadventures. Releasing her hand he nodded towards the bar and where they had last seen Lucas. "Off topic, if I don't have you back soon your friend will probably send out the hounds. I don't think he likes me very much." Grinning to himself Devin assumed it was simply because the other man was attracted to him and wouldn't or couldn't admit it to himself. This was not the first time someone had seemed unenthused by Devin's antics. What other explanation could there be. |
| @Kia @Kibu Liana took hold of the offered device and sort of stared at it a moment before ever so carefully typing in the numbers that corresponded with what letters she wanted. It had been so long since she had interacted with such technology it took a second to remember how to go about it. When Lucas claimed to be a bad person she frowned and wrinkled her nose. "Nonsense, I completely understand." Concentrating on the last bit she handed the phone back to Lucas and smiled. "There is no obligation, lets just say if you feel so inclined." She bobbed a small curtsy and giggled despite herself. "I hope your first Masquerade was all you hoped it would be." Mog circled a few more times before darting off in the direction of their rooms. Liana followed shortly after she said a final farewell to Lucas and wondered if between both their schedules they would ever actually communicate otherwise. It had been an overall... positive experience. She certainly had quite a bit to write about when she got back. Devin let go of Kia albeit somewhat reluctantly as the song ended. "Generally we send ravens but I doubt one would make it all the way up here." He grinned ad rubbed his chin a moment while he considered. "There is always the two way glass. I could arrange to have one sent to you if you like, or we could simply correspond through good old fashion post." He lifted a brow not really knowing what methods she had in mind. Not having ever been to the moon before Devin knew next to nothing about the way they operated or the technologies they possessed. Sadly his people adamantly refused to adopt the technologies of humans and instead stubbornly stood by their own inventions. Telephones being the only exception there were some who claimed that humans stole the idea from them. However they were used strictly for business and Devin hadn't ever had need of his own personal line therefor he saw no point in bringing it up as an option. Whoever answered would likely hang up on a random woman requesting to speak with the prince. The thought was laughable. "I'm open to suggestions, moon dwellers no doubt have some mystical way of communicating quickly that I am yet unaware of." |
| @Kia @Kibu Nodding Liana smiled and thought it was sort of adorable how awkward the man must have felt behind his mask. "I don't exactly have a phone or I would give you my number." She laughed a little. "I can give you an address if you like and we could wright? You'll understand if I'm not very prompt." Her eyes found the floor. "I get sort of caught up sometimes." That had been a massive understatement but how strange would it have been to try and explain the truth. She hadn't any idea what they would find to write each other about but the prospect was an interesting one. Really why not. It didn't hurt to network with other people even if it wasn't something she went out of her way to do often. "You could share it with Kia if she likes as well." Searching the bar for a napkin she wondered if the bartender had a pen. Or if she would sound like an idiot for making that sort of request. When he asked Devin had known it was a blind shot into the night that she would be able to accept the offer. So much for wishful thinking. All the same. "But of course, I understand." He guided her gently but with remarkable poise half enjoying himself despite the lack of alcohol in his bloodstream. "By all means you are both invited whenever you find the opportunity." Considering what he had offered a bit more he decided it would be easier to have access granted for them if they didn't also require room and board in the castle. It wouldn't be difficult to procure a suite in one of the local inns. Quaint little things all decorated with flowers no matter the season and the rooms weren't terribly small. Devin imagined that Kai would delight a bit more in the aesthetics than his sister and the thought caused him to laugh. Holding Kia close they spun to the left taking full advantage of the now spacious dance floor. She was keeping up admirably in her own wright, this was the last dance after all he should have given her more credit. She was a highborn lady after all. Sometimes her down to earth attitude caused him to forget about that. |

| @Kibu @Kia (( My day off and what do you know. Some one is trying to get me to work for them. Lets go with HELL NO. *flails* )) Setting down her empty mug Liana's eyes smiled even if her lips did not. "I agree with Kia, I wish the event was longer. As selfish as that may sound..." It was strange how easily she could slip back into her habit of hiding away from everyone but at the same time there was a small apprehension involved. Honestly she did enjoy the company. Once she became involved in her studies it was easy to push that small desire aside but the brief period of time before she was able to re-submerge always invoked strange feelings. Decidedly she got to her feet and was pleased to find that her limbs were a bit more responsive even if her palms still hurt. "Speaking of, I'm afraid I must get back to my room to prepare, er, pack that is..." She blushed. "I don't know why I insist on bringing so much when I know I'm bound to return with twice the amount from the Menagerie." Glancing up at Devin Liana took a breath and resigned to her fate. He hadn't given her an excuse to leave him behind and as much as she would like to abandon him on the moon she knew his mother wouldn't be very appreciative. Sure the woman presented herself elegantly but there was something about her that Liana found discomforting. "I'm sure you have even more than I do... Mog will come find you when I'm fully prepared alright?" Turning to Kia Liana smiled, this time genuinely. "It was very good to meet you if only briefly, if you see Kai tell him I said goodbye won't you?" Turning back to Lucas she added. "Thank you very much for the tea and ah, for your assistance earlier. I'm glad to have met you as well." Mog had since finished his cream and was in the middle of washing his paws when he paused to look up at Liana. It looked like she was making excuses again but what did he know, human dialect was difficult to understand. Standing and stretching a moment he wound his way around her ankles purring. Devin couldn't contain his enthusiasm but he hardly ever tried. "You read my mind." Lifting a brow he turned to Liana. "As you wish." It was hard to walk away from her but she had more or less given her word and he hadn't known her to play games. She was very straightforward and honest and boring but all the better because he really didn't want to -ever- set foot/hoof on another airship -ever- again. The very idea of it caused a rumble in his stomach and he quickly turned his attention back to Kia offering a hand. "Shall we?" Grinning he glanced over at Lucas. "Don't worry I'll have her back to you in one piece before long." Homeward bound in a few hours and entirely to sober. At least once he got back he could indulge in a proper glass of fine wine, as many as he desired and without having to fuss over petty payments. That was to say if he could sneak back in without his mother or her spies finding him first. With any luck his elder brother would have deserted the family once again as well, even if that was as unlikely as his mother remaining oblivious to his return for long. Doubtful he ventured to hope for it all the same. One thing was certain, it would feel good to have some living dirt beneath him once more. Even with the spring festival already in full swing the majority of his people would remain secluded in an area off limits to the hoards of tourists. Safe behind their walls, mentally and physically. Perhaps he would insist on participating in the festivities outside the palace. A thought occurred to him as he took Kia's hand in his. "You know... Vesnali has begun back on Subeta. If you could convince your beloved mother to postpone her plans for your future a while longer I'm sure I could convince mine to let you experience our side of the Glade." Fluidly they stepped into the music perhaps mid song, at this point it mattered little. "If that is the sort of thing that at all interests you." Sure it wouldn't be all that easy to convince his high and mighty mother to let an outsider let alone a human into their sacred space, but if anyone could convince her it would be the prince and he could be rather persuasive when he wanted to be. |
