Log – Dance Deliberation (1/2)

Intro: This scene was one of the more interesting for developing her personality. Others did help me try to define just what her default nature is, but this one delved into personal hobbies and desires beyond the cautious one to find out who she was and try to decide who she will be.

On a side note, I’ll be in a TP today, so there might be a combat log coming up, depending. It might be a long scene, so perhaps we’ll have a hefty log for you later today or early next week, depending.

Enjoy. 🙂

** Location Description **

Kingsdale – Main Street – Club Knight

As you enter Club Knight you are drawn to the overhead lighting and the speaker system that rivals the Nightingale in every way. Up a flight of stairs, to the rear of the dance floor, and half way up the wall is a large DJ booth that oversees the dance floor, blasting a mix of the latest techno/pop mixes along with Pre-Rift favorites. The club is decorated in miriad of colors almost like abstract art. Overall the place has an energized atmosphere making it the newest place to be. No matter what time of day, there are a few patrons inside, and after 8:00PM, the club usually fills up, but it is a new club so there is always room for more.

As your eyes wander the rest of the room, you notice that the tables are typical of nightclubs, some seating around the dance floor, a section by the bar, and a row of booths along the right and left walls. The bar is circular, with about 20 seats all around it. The bar has all the modern convienances and sports a wide selection of liquor and beer, even a good selection of imports, it is manned by 3 bartenders at night, 2 during the day.

Waitresses wander around the room in tight. white cat suit outfits. They move about with their white trays and handle themselves like professionals. Drink orders are punched into a small computer on the try and sent right to the bar. The patrons are mostly the working class of the city who want a place to dance. No one is normally in armor or carry weapons that can be seen. Several large men are strategically stationed around the room. A little wire behind their ear proves they are in constant contact, and can hear even over the roar of the DJ. In behind the dance floor and extending from the wall is the stage the live band performs on. the stage is magnificently build with hard word and polished. Musical equipment and sound equipment fill the area.

** Cryghton Description **

The man before you stands approximately six feet tall. He appears to be in his mid to late twenties for a human. He has an above average build with the physique of a professional athlete. He is a handsome man by human standards with full light brown-blond eyebrows. His light brown-blond hair is cut short and styled nicely. His pleasing aqua-blue eyes hold an exotic quality that appears friendly and inviting. This is of course noticable if he removes the stylish sunglasses he is currently wearing. His moderately high cheekbones and his other pleasing features seem almost perfectly in proportion.

A black leather trenchcoat conceals the finer features of this man’s physique. The coat flows from his shoulders down to his ankles and is made of lightweight leather and cloth. The trenchcoat has a still upright collar that encicles the man’s neck comfortably and overall seems to be fairly stylish fashion-wise. Three pairs of subdued metal buckles, that would normally fasten the jacket closed on each side, dangle loosely. Under the trenchcoat he wears a black turtleneck shirt that hugs his athletic body like a second skin. The black pants of his outfit are worn loose and have a cargo pocket on the outside of each thigh. The bottoms of the pant legs have been ‘bloused’ / tucked inside the tops of his boots. The black leather boots that he wears are well broken in. Leather staps and buckles are used to tighten the lightly armored boots snugly to his feet. Around his waist is worn a black belt with several pouches attached.

Nestled inside a thigh holster on the man’s left side is a MP-10 Auto-Pistol. Fastened to the right side of his belt, nestled inside a black leather sheath, is large survival/combat knife. Other weapons may be present, but these are the only two that can be spotted inside the confines of the unfastened trenchcoat.

** Contrary Description **

At six foot eight, Contrary is a big girl with her healthy build mixing a strong musculature and rounded, feminine figure. Her fur is a solid shade of slate gray, short and orderly. Her vulpine features are an exotic addition to an otherwise humanoid body, eyes strange in that the orbs themselves appear to be silver with grey irises that match her hide. Her hair is silvered in hue, long enough to drape her shoulders, yet at the moment it has been pulled back into a bland ponytail.

She wears a solid black shirt over her full chest that leaves her shoulders bare, held up by slim shoulder straps instead. It descends to a point just above her bellybutton, the lower inch and a half of the shirt is trimmed with a ring of shiny silver material. The sleeves descend to her elbows, where the dark fabric ends, only extending loosely a few more inches under her forearms.

A baggy pair of dark blue cargo pants are worn, riding precariously loose on her hips. The legs are dotted with pockets that close with silvered snaps. What holds gravity at bay is a belt composed of chain links. Four links wide it’s made up of silver, golden, brass and bronze colored links in random patterns. Clipped to her right hip is a PDD player, its headphones hooked between her and the player. On her left hip is a six inch long canvas sheath with the tip of a snuggly secured balisong knife peeking out. Half hidden by the just-to-long legs of her jeans are a pair of dark gray sneakers, black laces tied up in double knots.

Her accessories are varied, her triangular ears pierced, the left’s tip holding two rings, one with a small bell and the other with a silvered ankh dangling. The right has three studs of alternating silver and dull gold along each side. Another slight ring pierces her bellybutton, a tiny, quarter inch YinYang charm hung from it. Her wrists are bound by black leather bands that are lined with a double row of silvered studs, her hands bearing a pair of black leather palm gloves. A slim black choker is wrapped about her neck, a small ivory skull mounted at its center, above her throat.

** Role Play Start **

Cryghton is currently sitting at the bar taking a sip from a glass of clear liquid. He is currently wearing a leather trenchcoat and watching the club observantly with his back pressed against the bar.

Contrary enters the busy club as evening nears, the light outside starting to wane. She lingers at the door for a few moments as she lets her eyes adjust to the different lighting, in the same time letting the music reach her. By the time she moves up to the weapons check, there’s a little extra bounce to her step. She passes through quickly, unarmed and moves out into the main area, zigzagging through the people here as she heads for the bar herself.
