[h2][centre] [color=a2d39c]Romus Sisters . City Hall[/color][/centre][/h2] [h3][centre] [color=a2d39c]7.30 PM ish, City Hall, Olympus Heavy Industries Victory Gala[/color][/centre][/h3] [hr] Marinalia watched and began to head over and saw the aftermath of whatever event had gone on, with a click of heals and a slightly annoyed glance at Victoria, much as she loved her sister she could go overboard, throw everything over and then find somthong else to toss in to cause trouble. Noting Ashton and a woman she had apologised too, plus some person who did not seem to want to be there in a polo shirt and badge, he was not one of there people... Hmmm. Victoria looks down and downed a shot seeing her approach after the sheer aftermath of everything, beginning to relise how fucked up thr situation had gone from quiet drinks to storming off people, that had escalated beyond sense. Pulling Victoria aside, with ernough glare to make it relise it was not a request, sisters could argue, fall out, they would make up later though. Giving Ashton a sorry, il explain in a second look pulling Victoria aside. [i][color=f6989d]excuse me... I have to have a word with my sister. Sorry about this. Vika... A a little explanation. Joel. Why. How. Sio, and details... Like now. [/color][/i] Quietly the two sisters exchanged tense glances, several sighs and multiple nervous moments as the two seemed to have fallen out a tiny bit over everything that had gone on when she was away. Turning back, she was annoyed at Victoria, but also at Sio for being the trigger of it all and everything else. She did not want to lose Joel as well because her sister could not let somthing go. Thete was a tall woman in a nicely fitted suit she had interrupted a second and the one in reddy purple floral dress and a man in polo shirt. Giving a wave to call over someone with a tray of prosecco, one of the shirtless Spartans, at least Marla had the visuals right and took one, Victoria deciding to quietly wait, deciding she had annoyed Marinalia ernough for one night and took a careful angle. [i][color=f6989d]Hey, feel free. We not short are we Vika. Sorry about nearly walking into you! I'm Marinalia Olympus, and this my sister Victoria, Ivans by thr bar. [/color][/i] Glittering slightly in a long white backless dress with gold details and a high split on the thigh, Ice blue gemmed necklace glittering. Greeting the woman she gave Kriss a tap on the shoulder to try and see if he reacted. [i][color=f6989d]Hi, welcome to the Gala. [/color][/i] Victoria looked over to Ashton, and sighed a second sitting back down, the alcohol meaning she was placing a a little more reliance on the stick at her side. [i][color=6ecff6]Sorry about that... I fucked that one up. That's my Sister Marinalia, Ivans there, least your enjoying it. Feel free. Seems I learned my lesson. [/color][/i] Gesturing to the bar, she waved to have what she wanted. Looking to the woman ain Floral dress and the guy who looked like he had been dragged there in chains for his own excution. Noticing the med kit, hey was someone hurt? [i][color=6ecff6]Hey... Someone get hurt you two? No injuries over here... Ones you can Fix anyway. Who's your freind Alison? You take him dress shopping before this? Bars open if you want somthing stronger. [/color][/i] About to reach for thr vodka before Ivan blocked her and poured a champagne, telling she had ernough for now and downing the vodka himself. [i]Maybe take it slower Vika, long evening yeah. see you later, I'm gonna see how Maria and Vesarian are doing. Have a good evening, ladies, gentleman. [/i] Excusing himself politely, he had survived the drama and was curious to see for himself if the two star crossed lovers had finaly given up refusing, he knew they where but hey, he was his good freind, and she well he knew her in passing. Plus they want to know abit more about events. Looking across slightly concerned. Sighing slightly, and looking slightly confused what to do or how to at least put out some of the fires their bombardments at each other had caused. [i][color=f6989d]sorry... I have a few things to fix, or try to make up for. Hope you enjoy your evening. If I even can... [/color][/i] Meanwhile on stage a large race car rose out thr stage and with a final hiss of pistols as the stages built in life stopped. Steeping out onto stage and walking out alongside Maria, ot was a quick announcement, but you could at least have a a little drama with it none the less. [i][color=fff79a]Hello Everyone, Ladies, Gentlemen, Freinds, and Family. A warm welcome to the Olympus Heavy Engineering Gala, we had diffrent plans for this but nothing ever goes quite planned. Congratulations to Joel Nicolosi, Tommy Lorax I belive the card says, the Team and efforts they put into winning today. Now a short announcement from my daughter Maria. [/color][/i] Smiling and twirling a fraction in a elegant white and gold dress, a style fitting her age but with a a little fun and a neckline with a little bot of cleavage but not too much. [i][color=f49ac2]Thankyou dad, and thank you for everyonw joining us for our celebration. Thanks to the new Defender Class frigate contact for the Royal Navy, we can announce a potential extension of our sponsorship pending approval, and future agreements. Now everyone, enjoy, relax, and cheers! [/color][/i] Riasing a glass of champagne and heading off stage as a mix of music began to play, with everything from more dancey numbers excluding any jazz at Marinalias request. A few couples where dancing the night away at the centre in the dance floor set up the the table cogs went around. On stage lights played off the car and actions videos of joels victory and final lap looped with other videos. Several others of race day media cuts ran with subtitles in the background. Meeting Maria at the foot of the stage, Marinalia talked it out with her ans tried to explain things, what happened and a variety of problems that had gone on. There was as no escaping it, you just had to try and deal with it. It never would be less awkward. In fact more of she tired to hide it never happened. Asking one of the staff to have a look out for Joel and Sia born, it had been 10 to 15 minutes before she got any news of them. So it came down to that. Damn it Victoria, why did you have to be so stubborn at times... Heading over she was nervous, her heals clicks sounding like booming impacts as she headed over and downed the last of her champagne before she approached them and left it on a random table or whatever sir face she could find. Distinctly nervous as she approached, well she was not going to get anywhere by staring at them from afar. [i][color=f6989d]Hey... Folks... Urgh... Look sorry about Victoria. Im trying to undo some of the damage tonight OK... Hear me out please. Firstly, have what you want Siaborn... It ain't worth the hassle, or the bitch fest, just have whatever... Joel.. Victoria takes things too far... Way too far, she got... A dark side. Same to you Siaborn, and much as I disagree on Ren, I'm sorry I hurt your freind but I'm not sorry about liking Joel... Ren... Jazz night. I Don, t wanna have a constant reminder of that, would not of worked out OK. Well that's even if yoh even care and this is worth me embarrassing myself... Truce... At least? [/color][/i] Turning slightly to leave expecting the worst, it was a total mess and nothing she could do would easily undo the damage. It was a complete mess. Did she feel like she had to apologise, no but it helped. Marilania just wanted to enjoy the evening and have fun. Not be cleaning up little miss ice Elsa mess. [i][color=f6989d]I still have a spare seat when I do a few laps of Sol. Replica twin engine, modern build warbird. [/color][/i] Somewhat more sombre and slightly rambling, she had done her best to try and at least prevent the full blown war that had erupted at the bar between them. Maria was quietly dancing with Vesarian trying to keep a eye on Marinalia, there was no hiding from your mistakes. Sometimes you just had to face them. Vesarian was clueless about some of it but the women's argument ran into areas far more complex than most men wanted to go into. [hr] [@Mattchstick][@Almalthia][@Silver Fox][@Pilatus] [hr]
