Party at Luna Mansion (Lucian's birthday, OPEN)

[LucianLuna]

Lucian had worked hard to get the mansion ready for his birthday. He had cobwebs hanging from the trees and he had dyed the water in the pool red so it looked like blood. He had made a minature ggraveyard with skeletons crawling from the cave. The best part of the outside setting was that Lucian had some pet wolves roaming around. Not dogs, a real wolf pack that lived in the woods but that have become friendly when Lucian rescued them from a hunter. He had fog machines in the mini grave yard, in back by the pool and over the path leading up to the mansion. Open the door to go inside and a very realistic ghost comes flying towards you. The entertainment room didn't have much in decoration but he had put out every horror video game he had for people to play. Up stairs in the dance club he had more fog machines and strobe lights. He had red beer and was willing to mix any other type of drink someone may want. He had a red punch and a black punch in case some people under the age of 21 came. He made his brownies that everyone liked and had found sprinkles that looked like bats, skeletons, and spiders and put those on the brownies. He even made his own cake, shaped like a giant grave stone. There was also homemede pizza, tombstone shaped cookies, and cupcakes. The only thing Lucian didn't cook was the bowls of halloween candy on eacy table. and the chips and pretzels. The dip for the chip was made for him. He was now slipping into his costume which wouldn't be much for him. He was a real vampire after all, all he needed to add to it was the old fashion clothes. He had on black slacks, black shoes, black silk shirt and black cape. He had found a bloodstone necklace and instead of the dragon pendant he normal wore he had the bloodstone on a silk ribbon around his neck. Once he was done he turned on the music. Metal music came pumping from the speakers and as he turned on the stereo halloween sound effects started up outside. Everything was now ready for the guests to arrive so he went downstairs to wait for everyone. He had just put posters up in town about the party. He wanted a big party instead of just with friends so he didn't even know if anyone was going to show or not.

[Zerataku]

Zera decided to dress up as a zombie this year. She had hosted Halloween parties before but had never been to one. As she sat in front of the mirror applying the last of the rotting skin-colored makeup to her face and chest, she glanced over at the clock and realized that if she didn't hurry up she would be late. She was already dressed in ripped clothing and fake blood, along with a realistic-looking bite mark on her arm. It was corny, and she knew it, but she didn't have anyone to impress, seeing as how her boyfriend broke up with her back in March, so she didn't make a big deal out of it. She ran downstairs, grabbed the three bags of chips she picked up for the party, opened the drawer to grab her car keys, and headed out.

Pulling up to the mansion she realized that she was the first person there, or at least that's what it seemed. There were no other cars parked anywhere in the driveway so she pulled to the front, knowing she would regret it later after all the cars barricaded her in. She opened the car door, threw her keys in the glove box and grabbed the chips. As she walked up the walkway she looked left and right at all of the various decorations. It almost resembled a haunted house, one of those in low-budget horror films, but she knew there was nothing to be scared of. She came up on the huge door, knocked three times, and waited for Lucian to invite her in as she wondered how things would go down tonight. I wanna get drunk, she thought to herself, her hand on her hip.

[LucianLuna]

Lucian heard the knock on the door and opened it to see who the first guest was, smiling and flashing his all to real fangs, but the guests didn't have to know they were real. His smile got bigger when he saw the costume. "Great costume, I love it. Come on in, the food and drinks are upstairs in the dance club if you want anything." He steped aside so the girl could enter and then waited for her to enter. "More people should arrive soon." When she stepped inside he led her upstairs to where the main party would be when everyone finally arrived at the mansion.

[Zerataku]

Zera arched her eyebrows when Lucian said she was wearing a great costume.

'Weirdo,' she thought, 'this piece of crap was a last minute closet raid.'
And then she wondered if he was being sarcastic; If she did, in fact, look like crap, but she shrugged it off.

"I brought chips! I didn't think it would be polite not to bring anything to a party.
Though I guess you've got everything covered. You must be rich, living in a mansion and all."

She looked around in wonder as he led her upstairs and she tried to make small talk, but she wasn't doing a great job of it.
She couldn't find it in herself to make eye contact with the man because she was so occupied on everything around her.
She probably seemed rude, but that wasn't true of her at all.

[Kendra]

Halloween was her favourite time of year, the only time when she could truly let her hair down and behave as she was meant too. Though this century people seemed a tad more lenient to the ways of a witch. A phone call earlier that day from one of her closest friends had informed her of a party up at the mansion, intrigued she assented to attending but knew one thing for sure Purity as going with some protection. All the omens she had foreseen the past week had led her to believe that something terrible was about to happen and that particular mansion seemed to be the center of the maelstrom that was coming.

Purity looked exactly as her name suggested, fair skin that made her resemble a porcelain doll except for the gentle blush of colour that stained her cheeks. Her skin was soft and she looked extremely fragile as if begging to be protected by anyone in a ten mile radius. Her eyes the colour of a clear blue sky, the pales ice cool blue imaginable while her hair had the hue of corn flower yellow. She had wondered for quite some time about her costume for the party and in the end had decided to simply wear her witches ceremonial robes. The silver shift that swirled about her slender figure was of a delicate silk, it short sleeves revealed the silver amulets cuffed to her upper arms. Grecian sandals clad her feet and along those delicate small limbs runes of protection had been skillfully painted on with henna. Around her neck she wore her birthstone incased in a silver locket that had been passed down through generations, it's magical properties renowned to aid with her power. It was so slender and delicate that it was virtually unnoticable, though the head-dress she wore, another intricate and delicate design of silver tribal swirls was not. It lay low over her head, circling her forehead and as she clasped her cloak the colour of the moon about her Purity knew she was ready, all she had left to get was her staff.

The moon shone down on her as she passed through the streets of revelers, many adults it seemed were on their way to this party as well. On the way she met her friend, her coven sister who had changed her mind at the last minute about attending. Her newly acquired boyfriend had other plans. Purity only smiled and nodded her understanding before approaching the gates. Within the grounds she saw wolves prowling and watched as the townspeople nearing the door did so with fear in their eyes at the sight of them, though they did try to laugh it off. She moved as silently as the stars in the sky passed them, a gentle wave of the staff ceasing their growling as soon as they had seen her. After waiting for others to go inside, Purity herself did not ring the door bell. The door was now ajar and so she stepped within the house that had been in her thoughts all week. It was decked out like many other houses for the festivities and yet she could not contain the terrible feeling that gripped her that all was not right here. Standing in the doorway illuminated by the moon light outside, she looked as eerie and supernatural as any being had a right too on that particular night.

[LucianLuna]

"Me? Nah I'm not rich. This is my brother's place and he's earned it. I just live her with him. Thanks, can never have to many salty snacks. You can put the chips on the table with the others." He then looked back as the other guests started to arrive now, smiling when he spotted several guys all wearing Leather jackets, the jackets all had the same thing on the back. A dragon on  a motorcycle and the word Renengades. Lucian's friends and the were all dressed like zombie bikers. What could go wrong, everyone was in a mansion with plenty of food and where two vampires lived. His wolves on the guard for any attacks from his brother's enemies. Yeah well that could happen. Either the Lycan or the local Brujah could attack. That would be bad with all the humans around. Mostly if it was the Brujah attacking. lucian's creator was the head of that group and desperately wanted to get Lucian back. His wolves could handle the Lycans if they attacked, but there didn't appear to be any trouble. Everything was going fine and he was going to make sure this birthday wasn't ruined like his last one. Lucian went over to the bar and reached underneath the counter for a bottle that appeared to have blood in it and it did. It was bloodwyne. He popped the cap off and started to sip his drink as he watched everyone enjoying themselves.

[Zerataku]

Zera nodded as Lucien told her that this was his brother's place. Still, that must mean his brother was rich, which also meant Lucien got at least a little bit of the inheritance. She shrugged, it didn't matter much honestly. She sat the bags of chips on the table with all of the other snacks and grabbed a vanilla cupcake. It had black icing on top, along with crumbled cookies and a stone to make it look like a graveyard. Impressive. The taste was even more impressive. She looked around at everything there was to eat. Chips. Cake. Cookies. Brownies. Brownies? She wondered if they were hash brownies, picked one up, took a bite, and quickly realized that they weren't. Damn. She threw it in the trash can.

People started piling in. Men. Women. Ghosts. Vampires. Everyone looked good, but she didn't see anyone that looked familiar to her. The party hadn't officially started yet, so Zera made an attempt to speed things up. She walked out on the dance floor and began to dance. The metal music rocked in her ears and the faint Halloween music in the background made it even better. People looked her way and a few joined her. She didn't care what people thought of her at this moment as she banged her head to the sound vibrating up the walls to the ceiling. She just wanted to have a good time.

[Kendra]

Purity was greeted not by the owner of the house but by one of her own neighbours dressed as a witch but nothing at all like the real thing but as ordinary people saw them. Long black dress, green painted face with a fake long nose and ridiculous pointed hat, her husband dressed as a character from one of the latest movies grinned and waved and Purity noticed the lecherous look on his face as he gave her a once over. Tricia walked with her to the table to get some refreshments chattering non stop about her children and what not. Purity merely listened noticing a girl move to the dance floor at least she presumed it was a girl but the costume was so bizarre in a cool way that Purity could not distinguish for sure.
"Have you met the host yet?" she asked Tricia who shook her head but indicated a man near the bar telling her that was Lucian himself. Purity turned her gaze in the mans direction, he was handsome which was probably typical but he exuded an otherworldly presence that she could not describe. She found herself staring at him as if fixated and had to shake her head lightly to look away. It really wouldn't do at all to be caught staring. Tricia at this point was stuffing her face and gazing at Purities costume before saying aloud.
"So what exactly are you dressed as?"

[LucianLuna]

Lucian watched the dancers until he sensed someone watching him and looked over to hte people by the snack table. He walked over while still sipping his drink, arriving just in time to hear the one girl's question. "haven't you ever heard of a good witch. That's a good witch costume if I ever saw one. Sorry, I read anything I can find on the supernatural and know almost everything on most of the supernatural creatures, including witches." He smiled at the girls. "Hi, my names Lucian. Nice to met you two."

[Kendra]

Purity could almost sense him walk across the room towards her and was grateful that Tricia had distracted her with her mundane question. About to answer her she was interupted by none other than Lucien himself. She could not help but look at him, offer a smile of sorts and begin to feel distinctly out of her depth around him. A good witches costume, she wanted to knock him on the head with her staff and walk away but felt rooted to the floor. Tricia on the other hand blushed brightly by the attention they were given until her husband walked over and grabbing her by the elbow insisted she come and see something hysterically interesting. Purity wished she had someone come to whisk her away as well but turned to finally face the man instead.
"Try a white witch, even white witches can be a little bad sometimes" she smiled watching the girl on the dance floor, admiring the carefree way she moved.
"It was gracious of you to invite the entire town here tonight, over gracious perhaps" she suggested gazing up at him and feeling as if she were not dressed enough for the occasion someone.

[LucianLuna]

"I can't see you ever being bad, but I'll say your a white witch even anyone else asks. Although I thougt white witches didn't like to even be called witches, thought they liked wiccan better." he grined at her before continueing. "I had to make up for my ruined birthday last year. What better way than to have a party where everyone was invited. Are you enjoying yourself so far. We have drinks at the bar if you want anything. The punches in the two bowls are alcohol fre eif you don't drink." One thing good about the type of vampire Lucian was is if they have enough blood in their stomach from feeding they can eat normal food with no problem. Being the chocolate addict he was he grabed a chocolate cupcake and a brownie and put them on a plate with some chips as well. He then started to eat the brownie.

[Kendra]

She smiled politely attempting to keep a civil tongue in her head, why did most people think that wiccan and witches were similar. Sure she brewed some herbal remedies like they did but her power was real, able to cast incantations and concoct potions for all sorts of useful things. She held her hand out to him instead of correcting him, convinced that it was best to be polite in this instance.
"I prefer to be called Purity actually" she smiled, watching as he filled his plate of food up with all sorts. As she gazed about her the rest of the room seemed to be gorging as intently while a few others had joined the girl on the floor to dance. Purity wasn't hungry and she wasn't even thirsty but thought perhaps it would be polite to at least partake of something while she was here.
"This is a nice house you have, perhaps you will give me a tour around it some time" again the smile, innocence and indeed purity exuded from her very core. Her name was yelled from across the room and turning she saw Tricia and her husband dancing outrageously and beckoning her over. Grimacing she shook her head, she danced of course and would later that night beneath the moons light but not to the sounds this lot were dancing too.

[LucianLuna]

"Nice to meet you purity, I'd be honored to give you a tour of the place sometime. Well.... most of the place. The basement is my brother's private room and even I don't know what's down there. Knowing my brother like i do I probably don't want to know what's down there." he looked over to her friend when he heard her calling for Purity and then looked back. " A lovely name by the way. It suits you quite well." While Lucian talked a man walked into the club. he had black hair and brown eyes. he looked alot older than Lucian, at least in his late 30s, and was wearing a suit. The only one at the party not in costume. Of course he had a good reason, he had just gotten back from a meeting. He walked right over to Lucian and took the bottle from Lucian that he was drinking, took a swig, and handed it back to his brother. Lucian just glared at him. "Julian get your own drink, there's plenty under the bar. This one's mine. The town is enjoying the party." Lucian looked his brother over and grinned "What are you a mobster." Julian looked at Lucian "Ok so I forgot to get a costume. Sorry bro." He then went to the bar and reached down under it to grab himself a bottle of bloodwyne and leave Lucian to talk to the girl that was with him.

[Zerataku]

Zera danced with the various people surrounding her. It was impossible to stay away from skin to skin, so she went with the flow and enjoyed every minute of it. She glanced over and saw Lucian talking to someone. She didn't want to interrupt but needed to ask him something. She was sure the girl he was speaking with wouldn't mind. She slithered her way past everyone, the sweaty bodies with clothes clinging to them, and made her way to him.

"Uhm, I hate to interrupt, but which punch has alcohol in it, the red or the black? I really wanna get loaded tonight.."

[LucianLuna]

He glances over as the other hirl aproaches. "The black stuff. We also have a fully stocked bar if you want anything stronger, just stay away from the bottles directly under the bar. That stuff will make you sick. It has sometihng wrong with it and we need to send it back." Actually it was the bloodwyne, but he wasn't going to tell  her that and give away his and his brother's secret. So far the towns people haven't discovered the Luna brother's were vampires and he wanted to keep it that way.

[Zerataku]

"Thank youuu." She said, smiling.

She walked over to the table and grabbed a cup and walked over to the punch bowl. She poured some of the black liquid into her cup, not really caring what was in it. She took a sip, another, then gulped it down. She hadn't been drunk since New Years. This Halloween party was the perfect excuse. She poured some more into her cup, drunk it down, and poured one more cup full. This time she would make this cup last. She leaned against the table, scoping out the joint. She wanted to do something besides dance.

[LucianLuna]

There was the video game area downstairs and the pool outside. There was also a rock climbing wall on the first floor at the back of the house. Lucian pushed a button on a remote and a wide screen tv appeared in one of the walls which was showing a scarey movie right now, a vampire movie. The music was turned down a bit so anyone wanting to watch the movie could hear it. At least this party was tame compaired to some of the other's the Luna brothers had given. Their parties tended to get out of control after people started to get drunk.

[Zerataku]

Zera peered at the TV screen. Interview with A Vampire was playing. A classic. She looked around, found no seats, and plopped down on the floor to begin watching it. After a few minutes she found everyone around her to be too distracting and stood up, stumbling forward a little. She walked to the table and poured some more punch after having drunk the cup full she had. She wondered if she was drinking too much. All of her friends always told her she never knew when to quit, but it was all in good fun. A man dancing on the floor twirled her around and kissed her on the lips, asking her if she wanted to dance with him. She said no and pushed him away, walking to stand over by Lucian.

"So tell me about yourself. I'm at some guys house I don't even know. If I was a teenager still living with my parents I'd probably get grounded for a month for this."

[LucianLuna]

Lucian laughed at her comment. "You sure you want to know about me? I might scare you away. I was adopted into this family when my parents died and was raised by my older brother who is the only one at the party without a costume right now. Guess he was to busy to remember my birthday... again. The black stallion in the field is mine, the wolves are mine, and the modified harley with bat wings is mine. I love to cook and swim. I also love to read and can be a bit of a trouble maker. The zombies dressed in biker gang jackets are my friends. Anything you want to know that I might have left out?"

[Zerataku]

"Oh, I'm not scared of you." She winked at him.

"Why isn't he wearing a costume? If he didn't remember your birthday why is he here? All the animals are yours!? Outstanding. I love animals. Zombies dressed in biker jackets? Hm. I'm dressed like a zombie. I'm not wearing a biker jacket though. Why are they wearing biker jackets? If I become your friend can I wear a biker jacket?"

She was talking fast like she always does when she gets drunk, her words almost slurring together. She wasn't completely incapacitated yet, and brought her arm up on Lucian's shoulder, leaning against him.

[LucianLuna]

"This is my brother's house, he has to be here and yes all the animals are mine. They wear the biker jackets because they are the biker gang Renegades and yes you can have one since I'm the leader and say who is allowed in." He smiled when she put her arm around him, secretly thinking that talking to her was like talking to a kender from his favorite book series Dragonlance, non stop questions and talking fast.

[Kendra]

She smiled as he spoke to her, her eyes wandering about the room but not wanting to appear impolite she also made sure to make eye contact with him when necessary. She had not known anything about the Luna family though this house had been part of the town, as they had been for many years. Her eyes strayed instantly to a tall man approaching them and she could not help but feel herself drawn to the foreboding figure that came to stand by Lucian and drink from his bottle. Regarding him as they exchanged words, Purity realised that this was the brother. A slight chill ran across her spine but she did not understand why. Even as he walked to the bar and the girl from the dance floor appeared to take his place, her pale blue eyes still remained on Julian.

The conversation between Lucian and the zombie clad female went over her head completely, she forgot to pay attention at all to it. The jewel in her staff had begun to shimmer slightly and Purity knew her short time at the party was about to be cut shorter. She had her own celebrating to do for the Samhain festival. Her soft hand gently touched Lucian's arm as she smiled apologetically for interupting them.
"It was lovely to meet you again, I will take you up on that offer some time" with a slight nod of her head she made her way through the throng of people. Jostled and shoved this way and that she felt a tremor run through her when she found herself standing directly before Julian.

[Zerataku]

She looked at him and giggled, taking another gulp of the drink. It was all gone, so she placed the plastic cup on the table, wondering why she couldn't find any trash cans around here. And then she remembered she hadn't looked for any, which made her giggle again.

"Well he doesn't have to be here. You've never thrown a part while the parents were away? They're much more fun!!"

She felt like a teenager again, which she pretty much still was. She was only nineteen years of age and definitely wasn't past the partying and drinking phase yet. She thought about what he had said for a moment and gasped.

"Can I ride the stallion!? You could take me riding. I've never rode before. It would be fun."

Her knees buckled a little under her plus sized body and she couldn't keep from laughing at herself.

"So what's in the punch exactly?" she asked, her words starting to slur together. When all was said and done her 'well put-together sentence' sounded more like: "S'vats in da punch ley?"

[LucianLuna]

A 600 year old vampire prince could make anyone nervous, Julian even made Lucian nervous. he looked up as the girl touched his shoulder. "Ok I'll hold you to that. Then watched as she had a hard time getting to the door and wound up in front of Julian. Without saying anything Julian walked toward the door, pushing the people to each side of him and clearing the way so the girl could make it to the door with no problem. Lucian watched this then turned his attention back to the girl. "As long as I'm with there you can, but don't try to ride him by yourself. he'll buck you off and you'll get hurt. Julian is just making sure none of the expensive stuff gets broke. When would you want to go riding? Can't very well leave my own party." he then watched her fall to the ground and grabbed her arm to help her up "Whiskey and Tequila. A little to much alcohol? think it might be a little to strong?"

[Zerataku]

"No, no! Not too strong." She snapped her hand at him in a 'you silly man' gesture after she stood back up.

"I've had four of five cups. That's enough to get any girl who's only been drunk two or three times drunk."

She looked confused at what she had just said, but shrugged it off.

"Although... it tastes really good. How did you cover the taste?"

She was still coherent when drunk, which surprised a lot of people. Most people entered a different state of mind when they were drinking and ended up doing bad things, but Zera didn't. She would fall down a lot, and start to talk like a gangster when it really hit her, but she didn't do things she would end up regretting. Her mind was starting to process things a little slower though, and she was staggering because she was dizzy.

"You don't have to leave your party. We can chill at the after party." she said, followed by: "Black stallion riding for everybody!" She yelled it, but nobody listened or looked in her direction.

[LucianLuna]

"It's a combo of Grape kool aid, pitch black mountain dew and alcohol. the mountain dew is what makes it black colored. The other one is cherry cool aid and code red mountain dew. Ok we can ride the horse after you sober up, tomorrow if you remember to come back. Maybe you should sit down before you fall and hurt yourself."

[Zerataku]

She nodded, thinking that the combination was pretty interesting. She would have to steal the idea for any future parties she had. As always when she was drunk, she tended to do opposite of what she was told to do.

"I won't hurt myself." she said in a 'are-you-crazy" sort of way.

"I'll be right back."

She tapped him in the chest before leaving and walked over to the drink bar.

"Well well, what do we have here?"

She probably didn't need any more to drink, but Zera could never find it in herself to stop once she had started.

[LucianLuna]

As long as she didn't find the special stash of bloodwyne she'd be find. Might get sicker than a dog if she did drink some of the bloodwyne though since it's just bottled blood. He never really monitored how much people drank at his parties, but if he thought they were to drunk they would find their keys missing and them having one of the guest rooms on the third floor of the mansion for the night. Lucian never let anyone drive home drunk fom one of the Luna brother parties.

[Zerataku]

She walked behind the counter, her stagger gone. She went in and out of a buzz just like that. She glanced at the different drinks and mixes available. It was like a kid in a candy store. Vodka. Whiskey. Beer. Rum. Wine. Champagne. She was never a fan of wine and champagne so she passed it up. She saw a few things she had never heard of before. She turned toward everyone and propped herself up on the bar island, her head sitting in her hands. Her hand dangled down and knocked up against something underneath. She crouched down and saw a few shelves full of red-looking liquid. She grabbed a bottle of it and returned to Lucian.

"What is this?"

[LucianLuna]

Lucian's look was guarded when he saw what she was holding. "Me and my brother are on a special diet and we have to have some of that every day or we'll get really sick." Well he told the truth without revealing what they were which was a good thing. "If anyone else drinks it they get sick unless they have what we do. If we don't drink that we'd get sick when eating anything. It keeps us alive."

[Zerataku]

"Ooooh."

It seemed like a well guarded secret, and Zera wanted to know what it was.

"Well, what if I try some? Then we'll know if I have what you have."

[LucianLuna]

"No, you'd know if you did. We can tell when another person has what we have and trust me you don't have it. You really don't want to drink that miss." He watched her and then looked over to Julian, his older brother was the one with the mind control powers, not him.

[Zerataku]

She pouted her lips, wanting to taste the mysterious liquid.

"And how can you tell? I COULD have what you have. Maybe I'm hiding it from you. How would you know?"

[LucianLuna]

"Do you go out in the sun? If you have what I do being in the sun more than a couple minutes can kill. You drink and didn't get sick from the first sip. Your drunk, me and my brother can't get drunk. Your not as pale as us. Do I need to go on?"

[Zerataku]

She handed the bottle to him.

"Whatever. You act like you're vampires or something. There's no such thing. Is there?"

[LucianLuna]

"Vampires? Not the way the movies portray them there aren't, but I hear the lab techs that draw the blood for blood tests are called vampires." He had to laugh at that.  Him and his brother had come close to being discovered. They had to start locking the bloodwyne up before this happened again. He took the bottle from her and handed it to Julian as he walked by so he could put it back.

[Zerataku]

She chuckled a little at the joke, slapping him on the shoulder.

"So you're saying there's vampires but not like they are portrayed in the movies? They don't run around killing women for their blood? Cool. I'd like to meet a vampire. I always have. I think they're pretty hot."

[LucianLuna]

"You may have met a vampire without knowing it. They tend to keep what they are hidden from the humans around them. They're very secretive because in the old days they were nearly hunted to exstinction."

[Zerataku]

"But that's the old days, why hide now?" she asked curiously, looking up at him after sitting down in a chair in front of him.

[LucianLuna]

"Because with all the movies out there it would be even worse for vampires. The movies had given them a bad rap and if people found out vampires were real they wouldn't think of the phoney twilight ones, they'll think of the interview with a vampire series, Dracula, and ones like that."

[Kendra]

Purity could only stare at the older brother, he seemed so completely different to Lucian and she felt the thrill of excitement and fear grip her as she looked up at him. Without saying a word to her however, he merely moved forward through the party of people making a clear space for her to walk through. Slowly she followed, mesmerised by him and wishing suddenly that she didn't have to leave. In the corridor she stopped and regarded him again, the jewel on her staff beginning to glow with furious intent.
"Thank you" her pale eyes washed over him, feeling foolish for standing there waiting for him to speak as well when she seriously should just leave the building, Purity wondered what was possessing her now to stall when time was of the essence on All Hallows Night for the rituals of her small coven.

[LucianLuna]

Julian glanced at her. "your welcome. Glad I could help miss. Hope whatever is pulling you away early is as entertaining as this party is and that you have fun to wherever your going. Hope to see back soon." he watched her and waited to see if she was still going to leave. Lucian was watching his older brother with interest now, wondering if Julian was interested in the girl.

[Kendra]

She felt torn completely, never before had she felt so strongly attracted to any man no matter that the feeling of danger that emanated from him did so like a tsunami but every witch worth her salt danced beneath the moon, made their sacrifice and prayed to the goddess. She had never missed one yet and knew if she did now her coven would become worried for her. Indecision marred her beautiful features.
"It is not entertaining but a necessity" she told him holding out her hand as a gesture of farewell, "I will be at Copse Green for a few hours but perhaps if this party runs late I might return."

It seemed unlikely however that she would, usually the rituals they performed were exhausting and it took most of her power in performing it. Purity felt as if she would never see Julian again and could not believe how devastating that feeling wrought within her.
"I am Purity" she told him, "Whether I return or not... it has been ... eventful."

[LucianLuna]

"Sorry you can't stay miss. maybe you'll come back another time when you don't have something else to do. It would be nice to have someone behinds my brother's wild friends visiting this place." He gave her a smile and looked over to see Lucian watching them. Lucian grinned at his brother and turned away to watch the other party goers to make sure no one was causing any trouble.

[Kendra]

She smiled at him again but followed his gaze until she too was looking directly at Lucian, she was amazed to find him staring intently at the pair of them and unnerved by this grabbed back the hand she had offered to Julian.
"Yes maybe I will" she muttered, a light flush staining her cheeks as if Lucian had been able to read her thoughts regarding his brother. Allowing herself a swift glance at Julian she smiled briefly before bidding him farewell, then gathering her gown from trailing along the floor walked out the door she had entered. The night air was thick with the howls from the wolves patrolling and slowly she made her way through them all once again. They merely growled at her this time before finally ignoring her altogether and continuing to howl into the night. Purity had reached the large ornate gates before she turned back to look one last lingering moment at the mansion. Something was seriously off about the place and the brothers and for the life of her she could not fathom what it was. Making her way along the path she knew it would take her a while to get to Copse Green for the ritual but she felt better at least for now being on her way.

[LucianLuna]

Julian watched her walk to the gate and then glanced to the wolves before turning back to the party. he gave a small wave to Lucian and then headed back to the bar and his bottle of bloodwyne. He hoped his brother was enjoying his birthday and wished Lucian had more friends than the group of bikers he hung around all the time. He grabbed the bottle and walked back to where Lucian was at. "Hey bro, having fun. Your not socializing much. you should get out and mingle more." Lucian looked at his brother and shook his head. He was hoping more people would show. What Julian didn't know is Lucian did have more friends. they just weren't here right now. He had made friends while on the run from his creator this last year. Some very special friends that he wished were there right now.

[Kairi]

I walk in the door to the party and walked in with a bunch of people and the first semi coherent thing I hear is a girl shouting drunkenly about stallions. As I role my violet eyes, I start to make my way over to the stair case but as I start to head up I hear some guys wolf whistle and remember how short my dark faerie costume is so I detour away heading to get myself a drink from the kitchen. I end up bumping into non other than the birthday boys older brother. I'd heard a lot about him from the diner in town, but I'd never met him as I look up my face flushes red "Oh I'm so.. so sorry I... umm... uh... yeah."

[LucianLuna]

Julian looks at the person who bumped into him.  "It's ok miss, no problem. You come for the party? It's upstairs in the dance club. Lots of food and drink up there so come on up and enjoy yourself."  he could tell the girl was nervous and thought it was probably the costume she had on.  "Come on up when you feel like it."  He then went back upstairs to make sure Lucian wasn't getting ni to much trouble.

[Kairi]

Follows dazidly face still slightly red in the cheeks. I ignore the rest of the party with someone to foccus on I dont feel as out of place. "umm so I'm kairi and thanks!" I say in an attempt to fit in.

[LucianLuna]

Julian looks back and smiles at her.  "I'm Julian and your welcome. It's my younger brother's birthday that's being celebrated here. He always liked having big parties with lots of guests. he's a little spoiled that way."

[Kairi]

"Wow you really are a sweet guy. I guess family means a lot with you guys?" asks politely as I start to look around I notice all the different features. "Well this is definitely going to beat any parties I've had ha-ha, I guess I should umm get out of your uhh hair before I bother you." Smiles and hesitates slightly deciding weather or not I have the courage to ask for a kiss.

[LucianLuna]

"Yes family does matter. Our parents died so all we have is each other. I tend to protect him as best I can.  He does get out of hand at times though."

[Kairi]

I smile at you "well if you ever need someone to talk to when your fighting I would be very happy to listen, my parents died while I was younger so I think I might be able to understand a little bit" Glances up at you my violet eyes staring straight into yours as I kiss you on the cheek then prance away my dark wings glittering and bouncing behind me leaving a slight trail of glitter on the floor. I begin to make my way through the crowd and make myself a drink then set out to find the Birthday boy in hopes to give him a present.

[LucianLuna]

Julian smiled when she kissed him and watched her as she walked off.  Lucian, the birthday boy, was by the food table eating some more brownies and chips and drinking his bottled blood. he glanced over when the new girl entered with his brother and he was watching her now.

[Kairi]

"There you are! I've been looking for you, I figured it wouldn't be nice to show up with out a gift so here," hands you a small box with red a black checkered wrapping paper and a little silver bow. "I know we only became friends a few weeks ago but its your birthday so don't make a fuss ok?" I smile at you brightly and fidget with the silver hem of one of the straps on my costume. More glitter falls on the floor as I bounce impatiently my tall black boots clicking lightly against the floor and my eyes glued to yours occasionally glancing to Julian to see if he was still the slightest bit interested in me.

[LucianLuna]

″Thanks you didn't have to get me anything though. I'm glad you came. Go ahead and get something to drink if you want."

[Kairi]

I stare at him for a moment wondering if he will even bother opening it but shrug it off and head over to the drink table. As I pour myself a shot of whisky I talk to another colleague at the party. "Hey Jan!" I say smiling at her she looks over her shoulder and turns to see me smiling. "Hey how are you?" She responds happily, "why don't you pour me a shot and we'll shoot together!" As I pour her a shot I talk to her a little about the party then we go bottoms up with our shots and begin pouring another. "So what did you get Lucian?" I ask casually right as were taking our shots. Jan sputters in the middle of hers and starts coughing and I just look at her deducing weather or not she'll be ok. "WAIT- What? We were supposed to bring stuff?" Jan looks around worriedly. "No I just thought more people would of brought gifts since it technically is a birthday party he he." I smile at her stupidly sticking my tong out, "now I feel like the odd one, I bought him a bracelet, its silver with a red blood stone in the middle.... But its a thick chain so it doesn't look girly or anything" I add the last part hastily feeling embarrassed once more. As I watch Jan I realise she's looking at one of the guys in a goth costume and sigh knowing that goth is her weakness, I shove her toward him "go! I'll catch up with you later to see how it goes-!" I shout as she quickly gets drawn in by the crowd and I head for the balcony for some fresh air.

[LucianLuna]

Lucian looks over at her.  "I got a laptop, cell phone, and video games from my brother."  He opens the present and smiles. Thanks, I really like bloodstones." He then slips it on his wrist, he really did like the gift. Most people get him video games or cooking stuff because they know that he likes that stuff, but no one had ever thought of getting him jewelry before.

[Kairi]

"Hehe, well I saw it in a thrift store I love the older look it kind of has to it, it looks very nice on you." I respond light heartedly as I look up at the stars goos bumps rising on my skin from the cold. I begin rubbing my arms slightly as I turn to Lucian, "So what kind of games do you play anyways? I wouldn't even know where to begin with those most guys go for shooters but I find them mundain, and I'm not sure if you'd go for the Zelda games I go for." I smile and blush realizing how dork-ish I sound.

[LucianLuna]

"Shooters get boring after awhile. I like RPGs. Final Fantasy, Zelda, Pokemon, I like them all."

[Kairi]

"Well then you'll have to let me bring my Zelda series over" I smile at you sweetly over zealous about being able to talk about Zelda. "Its actually my favorite and FF is pretty cool too! I haven't played much aside from zelda though, I like the fairy Navi from Ocarina of Time if you couldn't tell faeries are kinda my thing." I say as I look back at my wings, happily able to show them around on this one time of the year, little do most people know they are actually real.

[LucianLuna]

"That would be fun, I don't get many wanting to play video games. I'd like that alot. Come over any time."
(If you gat approved you can sign up for Luna Nights and then she can come over with her games.)

[Kairi]

"I'll definitely have to it would be a lot of fun. Um I have a question though, is your brother interested in anybody?" I ask hoping not to sound rude or intrusive and look down at the railing shyly.

[LucianLuna]

"Julian, nah most girls who show interest in him or either after money or can't handle his busy schedule so he's still looking for that perfect girl who doesn't mind that he can only be with her at night since he's busy during the day."  He didn't mention Julian was busy sleeping during the day since he's a vampire, let her think his brother is busy with work.

[Kairi]

"Well he sounds like a dream to me, I'm most deffinatly a night person I love when the moon shines down my my wi..." Kairi stops herself mid sentence realizing she was about to reveal her dark secret. "...Err my wild soul?" she tries to cover up quickly mentally smacking her self for such a stupid cover up.

[LucianLuna]

Well if your a night person then he definatly would like to have you around. He hadn't been able to find another night person so far."

[Polokiller]

Devon walked in leisurely, poking head in the door, then walking in and shutting hit behind him. He approached Lucian.
"Hey! Happy B-Day, bro."
He handed Lucian a wrapped package, covered in black and red wrapping paper. Inside was a American Express card for 75$.
He brushed a lock of jet black hair from his face, shaking his hand before wandering off to the refreshments table. His hair was draped over one eye, and he had blood splattered all over his shirt, fake cuts on his wrist. He was, of course, emo even without the costume, but wasn't crazy enough to cut. He had a switchblade in his left hand, just to make it convincing. The scar going over his left eye wasn't fake, though.

[LucianLuna]

"Hey thanks man."  He unwrapped the present and slipped the American Express card in his pocket before following to the refreshment table.  "Thanks for the gift, cool costume."  It seemed the party was picking up now since others were arriving.  He was begining to think that this Luna party was going to be a dud and no Luna party is a dud.

[Polokiller]

Devon chuckled to himself.
"Not much of a costume since it's who I am, but hey. Fine by me. I couldn't care less what others think of me," he said leisurely, smirking. He leaned against a wall and took a sip of punch.

[Kairi]

"So you wouldn't care weather I thought it was nice or not" Kairi said stepping into the conversation hopping un obtrusively. "How are you?" she asks softly, her eyes bright and her wings almost luminous... She was deffinatly drunk and not hiding the faerie part of her very well at this point. She hadn't been planing to drink anything but apparently someone slipped in something.

[Polokiller]

Devon raised one eyebrow, and turned looking at her. He was taken aback, she looked drop dead gorgeous.
"Err... I'm great. Yourself?"

[LucianLuna]

Lucian grinned at the two.  "Would you two like me to leave you alone so you can get acquanted?"  He grabbed some more of the cookies and brownies then walked off before they could answer and let them get to know each other.

[Polokiller]

Devon watched him go, and looked back to her.
"Sooo...."
He rubbed at the back of his head nervously.
"What's your costume supposed to be?"

[Kairi]

She hiccups looking down at herself having almost forgotten it was a costume party. "Oh ya, hehe I'm a dark fairy." she states and smiles up at him attempting to fix her composure so she wouldn't make a terrible impression.

(Congrats on becoming a lord!!! I'm a lady now yay!)
