Monday Evening [/centre] [/h3] [/color] [hr] Marilania smiled slightly at the jealous glance and laughed slightly, seems she managed to get someone jealous, competition maybe? She, did have to see about that. Well that hanged direction, he seemed alot more confident than the person who walked out the old Starboard. Different clothes, different person but which was the real one and which was the front? [color=f6989d][i] "well, got a secret twin brother I know about?, bookworms definitely gone tonight. " [/i][/color] Laughing slightly, a slight niggle got past the part that was taking her on a path that seemed to have had a few drinks even when she had not touched a drop yet. Which one was real? Hmm, this one definitely was a different side she had seen at the old Starboard as he played with the end of her hair. Long blonde, sure she could be abit of a cliché at times, but it suited her. Definitely more forward. [color=f6989d][i] "I've never had it short. Gentle. It's not extensions. [/i][/color] Smiling slightly she let him have his fun, it was innocent enough for a acquaintance though more than allowed from a stranger. Sharing.. Well that was abit different, the two sisters had never met when they where young and her father had left Maria when he was not even born, Victoria was younger and they never even knew about the other till Marlin was 18. Victoria had been younger but after a difficult start, a crippling illness and the recovery the two where close as any sisters who had lived together there entire lives. Hard times had been difficult for both of them but the bond formed had been unbreakable. [color=f6989d][i]"share, not quite. Half sisters. We met 6 or so years ago. You know about my family.. What about your mysterious past? Your not the average student" [/i][/color] Things where going well enough, playfully poking him to reinforce point about his past. Marilania barely knew much bar some family issues, though she could relate. They where pretty hard to shake. Victoria was arguing, yeah that was expected... She always was more like her father and hot headed on some issues, much as she looked like a ice princess the core was downright volcanic when she was in a bad mood or anger was stirred. [color=f6989d][i]"dance, perfect. Vika can handle herself "[/i][/color] The music was picking up and the venue was gets NG far more lively, a few couples had formed or started making the atmosphere warm up and the energy was building. The slow Jazz and blues was giving way to more lively numbers as even the band where feeling the energy, and she had a handsome man wanting a dance. This evening was a good choice. Smiling and letting the music take her. Things seemed natural, she was a confident young woman with a job she loved, things seemed tto be slotting into place and danced abit closer so she could talk without everyone hearing, looking just like one of the many dozens of pairs dancing blending into the livey event. [color=f6989d][i]"Well, i promised. Im not quite just Marlin. My family run a industrial company the UK, i could not stand the games and fights so i kinda did my own thing like some runaway and earned my own way, My father works legally but less morally. He got caught in a scandal back home, that's why Victoria has a thing against the Media." [/i][/color] Leaning against him slightly, it felt good to vent. Giving him a apologetic look that she was venting her frustrations and problems abit, hopefully he was not scared off, beneath the nice Dress, Long blonde hair and confidence there was more broken layers hidden underneath. It felt good to be with another human, relax, even if it seemed there where broken layers hidden beneath smart suits, designer dresses and makeup. [color=f6989d][i]"New city, i had no one to talk to bar my sister.. it gets stressful...you don't have to stay if you don't want to"[/i][/color] Then Kei came, he was dancing with Ren, well tonight was sure throwing a few curve balls, first Victoria, journalists and now Kei, the world seemed destined to make this night a night to remember. Smiling but slightly not wanting to share completely. thinking to self, oh come off it, you barely know him, stop being silly Mali. [i][color=f6989d]"Hey, Surprise surprise. It seems the whole groups out tonight. Yep, its the prettiest pilot in Sol still! Not bad, got a dance off a handsome man, though my sister might punch someone before the night is over if she finds more journalists![/color] [/i] Looking back, she saw Victoria heading to the bar after her showdown, both seemed to be less than happy and she'd probably get a full story in the morning before she left for work. [hr] Victoria was in a mood, they both had been somewhat hostile and she needed strong drink after that. Carnival of the absurd? Did he know about some event going on she did not. Likely, Journalists had more eyes and ears than they should and she was new to the city. Heading over to the bar fast as busy venue and her long accepted weakness needing a stick to walk, she saw some men in black who where not there before, smart suits and general vibe that said they where not there for fun, the white earpiece she could barely see on the large man well over a foot taller was final answer. Someone big or important obviously had serious security. Pushing past the man best she could and made it to the bar and saw a group gathered, rather mixed. The athlete maybe from before with a limp, the tall and confidently dressed woman in black and white, tall and with a good figure she certainly was striking. Lastly a new guest it seemed had joined the bar, Smaller, Blonde and definitely on the younger end of 20. A suit with a female face, features to delicate to be male. Interesting. It seemed a strange gathering, she'd fit just right in. Finding a seat between a tall man in a suit, and the woman in a suit, it seemed a spot she could find time to calm down. The long backless pale blue elegant dress dangled down and her 4'9 height meant it was a tad bit tall but it was somewhere to sit. Others where fairly pale but her skin made her seem like snow in comparison to others, slender figure showing, almost too thin but Illness had taken a toll that was hard t shake years later. Sitting slowly with less ease the most people, Victoria sat at the bar and looked at range deciding that tonight needed something stronger. [color=6ecff6][i]"Double whiskey, Straight. i need something stronger tonight. "[/i][/color] Sighing slightly and leaning against the bar sipping it slowly after paying with a 20, the cash point only seemed to have big notes. With a thought, she felt abit like a downer and decided to try and do something positive and turn it around abit. Soft English accent only making to those at the bar. [color=6ecff6][i]"Anyone want a whiskey.. im feeling generous and need to balance some Karma? Anyone know what's up with the goons about? Seems a bunch of Security guys far less inconspicuous than they want to be. Surprise star booked to play?"[/i][/color] [hr] [@Monacho][@aladdin_sane][@King Tai][@Robo27][@Furiosa][@RawrEspada4] [color=c4df9b]Sorry forgot you too. your character was at same area, the bar.
