A tall man in a black tuxedo and cherry red compliments. He stands near the table cutting an apple with a silver knife. He stares silently at it, and sighs. He takes the knife and apple and with one hand eats a slice. He then starts on the next slice his hand shaking. Stopping he blinks for a bit, and glances over at the table. His legs make a slight movement, and yet he seems to think better of this, and eats his next apples slice in a similar fashion.

'Desa' raises her eyes in interest. Gossip was not foreign to her, so she perked an ear, curling her lips up. She entertained a brief notion of trying to save the poor chimera, but decided against it. Why should she lift a finger to help one who could barely stand for herself?

Empress Naoki
Famous
Roleplay posts: 2,238
Physical Description: =========================
Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.
Clothes and Equipment: =========================
Naoki's wardrobe is to her as a frame is to a painting. Sometimes embellished with detail to be attractive in its own right, but never the focus. Usually simple but elegant, tightly fitting and highly revealing, used only to frame the beauty within.
Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.

Naoki’s smirk fades. “Hmmh.”
She had been hoping for a simple answer, and in hindsight probably should have interrupted Kauri. After considering a moment,
“You and I have a shared interest,” The Empress says. “But I wouldn’t like to intrude on what you’re building. The proposition I was going to make was that the three of us meet later tonight in one of the bedrooms here at Untrid Hall, but it doesn’t sound like that would fit with the ‘pace’ you have.”
“The offer stands, and I guarantee you would enjoy it, but I’ll not drag you into it,” The Empress continues, ever-benevolent.
“Instead, you decide. Do your understanding, warm up to the idea, and let me know when the right time comes. I’ve waited this long, I can wait longer if that would make you more comfortable, but I am going to insist you share.” The smirk returns.
This, The Empress feels, is a generous offer. It would be trivial to go over Kauri’s head — she could have done that any time in the past few years. But by playing the long game in this manner, she’s going for double, Alden and his cute chimera girlfriend. By paying consideration to Kauri’s feelings and the health of their relationship, all stand to benefit. Alden has improved massively, but having someone like Kauri full-time will be good for him.

Kauri Graves
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 262
Age: 26
Physical Description: Kauri has a complexion so pale that she seems to mimic the glow of the moon. Atop her head stands two long, thin coppery horns that seem unnervingly sharp at their tips.
Her eyes are similar to a cat's with a bright yellow iris and a slit pupil. The fingers on her right hand seem shorter and are fixed with long, sturdy claws most useful for climbing.
---------------------------------------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: -----------------------------------------------------------
Kauri's clothes seem somewhat colorful, sometimes scarce and sometimes superfluous depending on the ever-changing weather of her home. They're always slightly decorative, but sewn and forged with purpose.
She wears small amounts of armor, such as braces, breastplates, and greaves, but they're usually very small and are built more for movement than they are for protection.
She is skilled with a bow and sword, both of which she carries with her consistently. None of her weapons are terribly special, but they're sturdy and well made.

Kauri's mind was blank.
A shudder moved through her body, perhaps from the shock. She opened her mouth to speak and absolutely not a sound came out. She closed her mouth with a perplexed expression, unable to surmise why she hadn't been able to say anything. Attempting to speak once more, she opened her mouth and squeaked.
Stunted, the woman placed her hands on the sides of her chair and pushed herself up. She gave the Empress a deep bow, followed by a whispery, "Ah... I, um."
Head spinning, she attempted to depart.
She fell short.
Right on the ground.

Alden Marshal
Widely Known
Roleplay posts: 1,420
Age: 30
Physical Description: Alden is 6 even, with shoulder length messy black hair, and several days worth of beard stubble. He is handsome, with a powerful jaw, mid set cheek bones, and a perpetual grin that makes him seem younger than he really is. His bright green eyes, constantly sparkle with barely contained mirth. He has the lithe well muscled body of a swordsmen, and he moves with considerable grace and dexterity.
If one where to take more thorough examination of Alden's eyes they may notice a further detail. Around the outside edge of his iris's there's an intricate series of minuscule grey runes.
Alden rarely removes his shirt, but should someone see him with it off, they would find his body to be covered in scar tissue. Starting from just below his neckline, there is very little space that does not sport some relic of a past injury. A particularly observant person may also note that among these scars, some are a bright scarlet. These scarlet scars form an intricate series of runes hiding among the others.
Those of a more magical bent may be able to decipher the runes in his eyes and on his skin. Identifying them as sigils more commonly found on magical items. The most obvious effect of the runes on his body, are increased speed, strength, and durability.
The runes on his eyes give him the ability to detect magical auras and residue, as well as allowing him to see through low level illusions and glamours. They also maintain his vision regardless of the current light level, and even if there is a sudden shift. His eyes are also capable of dropping into the infrared spectrum in complete darkness.
The rune work on his body enhances his natural strength, speed, endurance, durability, and reflexes to almost super human levels. The effects make him a formidable opponent for most magical creatures though only because they are supplemented by exceptional skill.
This means that all though he is almost super human in a straight contest of strength or speed he would most likely loose to most other magically enhanced humanoids such as vampires or were wolves.
Alden's runes also greatly increase his healing rate allowing him to recover from injuries that would normally take a few months for a person to recover from in a few short weeks. Not only do Alden's runes accelerate healing they also enhance it. A normal persons body will repair itself until it is functioning again then stop, thanks to the runes Alden's body will continues to fix itself until it is in near perfect condition. His healing abilities enhance his already prodigious stamina as it repairs muscle damage and lactic build up and it also increases longevity as he does not accumulate long term damage as most people do.
Finally his body runes provide protection from people attempts to find him magically. Detection spells will be obfuscated their readings on his location being off by about 20 meters. Long distance scrying and tracking spells are only able to narrow down his area to somewhere within a mile radius. It should be noted that these protections can be overcome by someone with sufficient power or ingenuity.
His runes cannot be removed unless they are cut off of his body using an appropriate ritual knife and magic. If the runes are disrupted in any other way they will simply grow back in a few weeks time.
The final thing that only someone versed in rune craft and enchanting would be able to tell is this: The process of these runes being carved into his bodies would have been unbelievably painful. A normal person would have been driven insane or to suicide if they had this happen to them. During the carving process un-directed magical energies would begin to take hold and tear apart your soul. The pain this would not cease until the rune pattern was completed. This means the pain caused would be on a spiritual and physical level of incredible magnitude.

The sound of a body hitting the ground catches Alden's attention and he turns to look. When he sees just who has fallen, he drops the cups and tray he'd been collecting. Before they even hit the ground he is at Kauri's side checking her pulse. "What happened?" He inquires his gaze sweeping the room for any suspicious characters.
From seemingly nowhere a dagger he was not supposed to have has materialized in his hand. There were a few possible suspects but none were close enough to have gotten to Kauri, he saw no indication of a dart, and no hint of magic. It could be poison but she wasn't eating or drinking anything.

Venus can't say she's surprised at Naoki's lusty offer, but she suppresses a grunt herself. She would've enjoyed being able to feed off of a threesome, thank you very much! Threesomes with a couple and a friend were always delicious.
And the chimera fell. Venus blinked, shocked. Raising a gloved hand to her mouth she suppresses a laugh, a somewhat haughty smirk and chuckle escaping from hee mouth, from behind the back of her hand.
This was quite the interesting show. If only she had some of that delicious Welshn Rarebit. Hm.. She pushed her magic outwards, looking for some.

The Empress leans back to fully appreciate Kauri’s reaction. Embarrassing cute people with light hair is a favorite pastime of hers, and Kauri does not disappoint. However, when she falls, the shit-eating grin is wiped off Naoki’s face.
In her haste to aid Kauri, Naoki nearly collides with Alden, who gets there first. Seeing the dagger, she steps back and displays the palms of her hands.
“She fainted when I proposed a threesome,” Naoki says, clear and direct in her explanation. “I don’t think she hit her head; she should be fine.”
Standing nearby but not too nearby, Naoki gestures for Alden to put the blade away. There’s no threat and no need to alarm the partygoers.

Theo steps right between the two, discarding his apple on the table. He puts his fingers to the chimera's neck checking for a pulse, clearly ignoring the other two individuals. Seeing that a pulse is still there, he looks for pesky corset that may be blocking this person's breath.
"Useless individuals, just stand there squabbling, don't call a doctor or anything. Mayhaps it was poison."
He sighs and without looking at either of them comments coldly, "Did she eat the same things you did?"

Before Theophilus J. Carter can even attempt to get close, the High Marshal of Isra would affix him with a gaze that says very clearly that he should not even attempt to do what he was attempting. If the man has any sense, he would realize that defying someone who sits at the right hand of the Empress in the heart of the Empire's capital would be a bad idea. If he persisted then his progress would be impeded by a pair of guards who would be quite hard to convince about allowing him any closer to the empresses's table.
Turning his attention back to Naoki Alden cocks his head in that particular way that people who know him, know means that he is confused. "You made her faint by asking for a threesome?" The way he says this suggests it is the word threesome that he is unclear on, rather than the rest of the statement. Shaking his head, he loops his arm around her shoulder and the other under her legs coming to his feet. "I will take her to a rear room to rest, with your leave your grace." Assuming it is granted her would go to the back of the hall where they wouldn't be disturbed.

The Empress nods in response to Alden. “I intended to suggest the very same.” If he genuinely doesn’t know the word, that’s something Kauri can explain.
In hindsight, Naoki supposes she should have gone a bit slower. Pacing. If they blackout early it’s somewhat amusing but puts a bit of a damper on things. Reseating herself, Naoki shrugs to herself. Live and learn.
Then someone new arrives. After examining the new arrival, Naoki concludes that she doesn’t know who it is. Nice hat, though.
“You’re quite welcome,” THe Empress replies. “I hope you enjoy the ball.”

Casting his gaze at the guards he gives them a slight frown. They were letting far too many unknowns get far too close to the empress without any sort of vetting process. It was, in his estimation, sloppy even if it was a party and even if the empress tended to be quite liberal when it came to interacting with her subjects.
Still, it was not strictly speaking his job. His job was to enact his Empresses's will.
Inclining his head in thanks Alden turns and departs carrying Kauri away from the bustle of the party. Of course, he was blissfully unaware that taking Kauri into a bedroom was the exact wrong thing to do at this time.

Empress Naoki
Famous
Roleplay posts: 2,238
Physical Description: =========================
Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.
Clothes and Equipment: =========================
Naoki's wardrobe is to her as a frame is to a painting. Sometimes embellished with detail to be attractive in its own right, but never the focus. Usually simple but elegant, tightly fitting and highly revealing, used only to frame the beauty within.
Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.

The Empress blinks. Two Sentinels step forward to stand on either side of her. “... Yes,” she says, after a long pause.
“You know, funny thing,” she continues, reaching into the pouch on her hip, “My face is on the gold coin.”
Pulling a coin from her pocket, The Empress holds it up and strikes the same expression. Her face is indeed on the coin, ears and all. Millions upon millions of this same coin circulate throughout The Empire and beyond, used in transactions everywhere.
“I’m not sure how you got this far without picking up on that.” She returns the coin to its pouch.

Alda gives a nervous laugh, and looks Naoki in the eyes, "I uh...have never really had one of those..." Naoki notices the pale bony hands hanging loosely by her sides. The vampire continues to talk, "It was really nice to get an invite...haven't received a party invitation in a _very_ long time. It said this was a successor party, for Naoki. Do you know why she's doing that?"

The Empress blinks for the second time. She finds the idea that anyone has never so much as seen a gold coin implausible. Even the delegation from Tawakoshi, from beyond the continent, whose nation was isolationist for years, has seen Isran coinage. Whoever this is, they’re either from very far away or beyond oblivious.
The Empress declines to answer the question and instead asks one of her own, “Did you bring your invitation?”

“Read it to me,” The Empress prompts, gesturing to the invitation. “I would like to know by whom you’ve been misinformed.”
Because it was certainly not her who sent that invitation, and she did not approve any other invitations to be sent.

"To Alda the seamstress, you are hereby invited to The Night Ball. Please come to the corresponding address at the night of the third. All who wish to attend should come dressed in formal attire. No weapons will be allowed inside the venue. Please leave your gnomes at home. Questions regarding The Night Ball should be directed to Empress Naoki," the vampire looks at Naoki smiling innocently and happily, "I was really quite astounded when I got this, I can't thank you enough. As a vampire I don't get invited, or really wanted much."
