Feb 14-15 Victoria's Valentine's Day Gala

"So...any rooms we should avoid?" Will said, lightheartedly.

by **Victoria Valentine** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 4:12 pm

"Can't see why," Victoria said, resuming her lounging. "If you don't want to watch the gladiators, don't go in there, and if you're opposed to music, don't go in there... and if you love food, don't leave this room. By the by, try these, they're divine." All the food was, apropriately, pre-portioned rather artfully, and the portions were small to encourage diversifying the plate.

"See, this isn't so bad," Will smiled at Sara, trying those.

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 4:18 pm

"I guess not, no..." she's forced to admit, trying some of the available food.

"Oh wow... these are excellent."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 4:20 pm

"I will admit, that you apparently skimped on the clothing budget for some of these workers," Will observed. "A fabric shortage going on?"

by **Victoria Valentine** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 4:31 pm

"We have things pleasing to the taste and to the ear... I can't very well leave out pleasing to the eye, can I?" Victoria asked, smirking a little.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 4:36 pm

"Riiiiight.

Don't know HOW long we'll be staying; we're going out for dinner tonight, Valentine's day and all, but it looks like a pretty nice party..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 4:38 pm

"To each their own." Sara smiles politely, very much not looking at the eye-candy. "Just not the most romantic atmosphere for me."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 4:40 pm

"To each their own. We'll still be here after you go to dinner," Victoria said, shrugging, a very slight bit of the warmth leaving her voice.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 4:42 pm

Will cocked an eyebrow at that. "Really looking forward to our company, are we?" he chuckled.

by **Simon Kipling** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 5:08 pm

Chloe Grant wrote:"Its ok." Chloe said "I'm glad you get along with the people you work with. What was the name of the bar, again?"

"Eh, it's just a little place you've probably never heard of. I don't think you'd like it. I mean, it needs a bouncer."

by **Elizabeth Miller** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 9:01 pm

"Its called Xzotic." Elizabeth supplied helpfully.

by **Chloe Grant** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 9:04 pm

"You're right." Chloe said, "I haven't heard of it. Still" she said, wrapping a possessive arm around Simon "I'm sure that Simon can handle himself. And its only for a short time."

by **Simon Kipling** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 9:12 pm

Simon hugged Chloe gently, kissing the top of her head lightly. He didn't do it to try and get the point across to Elizabeth about his relationship with Chloe, he was just very happy that she was safe and sound after having been injured during the incident with the Roman soldiers.

by **Victoria Valentine** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 10:11 pm

"Still," Victoria mused, once again toying with Serena's hair as they lounged by the table, "I don't think the girls would mind if she came to keep Simon company once in a while on boring nights. Do you, dear?"

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 10:26 pm

"In all seriousness, Victoria, this is a lot...nicer that I thought it would be. The food is top-of-the-line, and what little I can hear of the music is excellent.

I DO prefer pants, however."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 10:35 pm

"Of course you do," Victoria answered. "However, if we don't leave our comfort zone once in a while, we never live." She leaned back, reaching up to accept another glass of wine from her closest muscly manservant. "And we don't want people to ever accuse us of not living."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 10:36 pm

"I am NOT sure how romans wore these things--they cling in uncomfortable regions," Will chuckled.

by **Victoria Valentine** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 10:38 pm

Victoria smirked. "Then loosen it," she said simply.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 10:41 pm

"Don't want it to be TOO drafty," he chuckled, getting into the spirit of things.

by **Victoria Valentine** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 10:48 pm

"Mmm, but it's such a liberating feeling," Victoria answered, a sparkle in her eyes.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 10:51 pm

"If I wanted liberating, I'd come in a flowing gown," Will chuckled.

by **Victoria Valentine** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 10:54 pm

Victoria leaned her head back to look up at the muscly manservant. "The gentleman would like a flowing gown. Go." The manservant, obediently, started for the entrance again.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 11:01 pm

"You're kidding, right?" Will laughed.

by **Victoria Valentine** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 11:05 pm

"Now do you think I'd make a claim like 'anything can be arranged' if I wasn't prepared to back it up, dear?"

by **Simon Kipling** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 11:06 pm

Simon shot Victoria a bit of a glance at the mention of Chloe visiting him at work.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 11:07 pm

"What, you were just ready for any clothing request someone may have had? Good thing I didn't ask for a clown suit."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 11:09 pm

"Not really... see, anything can be arranged, but there are some things I simply won't arrange."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 11:10 pm

"Ahh. Taste, yet again," Will chuckled. "Remind me not to test you, then," he said, lounging.

by **Chloe Grant** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 11:19 pm

"I don't know..." Chloe said "It doesn't sound like a very nice place, and I see enough bad things when I'm out with the teams."

by **Elizabeth Miller** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 11:22 pm

"Oh, thats too bad." Elizabeth said "Its really a nice place, sometimes the patrons just get a little bit rowdy."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 11:29 pm

"Not a nice place. I do think that we ought to feel insulted, dear," Victoria mused, obviously not serious.

by **Meg A Ohm** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 5:48 am

The music was nice, but the sound of other voices in the other room brought Meg back. She was a bit surprised to find just how many people had arrived in the interim. With a salute of her goblet, she settled on to a lounging cushion.

by **Simon Kipling** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 11:59 am

"Naw, it's not like that Chloe." Simon said.

by **Chloe Grant** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 5:12 pm

"Ok." Chloe said "Well, we can talk about it later. This is a really lovely hall." she said to Victoria, changing the subject.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 5:17 pm

"Was it already here, or did you have to... construct it?"

by **Victoria Valentine** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 10:41 pm

"Yes," Victoria answered Will, intentionally enigmatically. "We are, after all, in the British Isles, where you can't walk ten feet without tripping over something historic or significant."

by **Bobby Bowen** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 10:45 pm

From out of the changing room, a brass figure made his entrance, required toga draping off his frame quite nicely.

Looking about, he smiled at those he recognized.

by **Victoria Valentine** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 10:53 pm

Victoria smiled, waving the boy over and patting the pillows on the other side of her from Serena.

by **Bobby Bowen** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 10:59 pm

Giving a polite bow and a kiss on the back of her hand after he approached, Bobby took his place on the pillows.
