The Auction Bar

[JakeJaiden]

"haha yes...I have..." he cocked his brow peering to Icsis over his shoulder with a devilish grin...

He watched on as Angel prepped for her shot & be it a streak of luck or otherwise, she was quite litterally whipping his ass...very impressive to say the least.

Jake smirked shifting his green eyes aside toward Icsis as she called out to Angel from across the room..."Angel, I've faith that you can wipe the floor with him."

"And 'MALE' ego's are a fragile thing?!?" he mumbled under his breath as he couldn't help but laugh.

Jake chuckled madly as the ladies conspired back and forth against him...Angel radiated with confidence and her cocky grin oooooozed the sweet spoils of victory upon sinking the 8 ball.

"I do believe that's game" she spoke,..emerald eyes glistening as she gloated over her win.

He surely wasn't the "best" but he hadn't "missed" a shot... "haha Damn scratch" he thought silently to himself setting his cue back into the rack among the others with a smile & a wink..."good game"

[Synangel]

From the moment I had actually decided to go threw with putting myself up for bidding at the slave auction I had to laugh within. It was very out of character for me, as normally I was quiet and reserved, usually watching these sort of events from the sidelines, but for some reason this time around when I got word of where they were being held, I decided to venture out of my somewhat shell of a being and if nothing else met new pires around the city. It seemed I had been around for quite some time, but had gotten so comfortable in my own private living confindments that the rest of the city didnt matter for so long. Well now I thought, as I readied myself for the evening, was a perfect time to get involved, especially with the current changes in my unlife.

Getting pretty and perfect was something I didnt have to put alot of effort into really, as this was my everyday routine, since I had been human. It had been the way I was raised, to look and do your best from the moment you awoke to the minute you went to sleep. My mortal mum had taught us not to fail in anything we did, and this behavior carried over into this everlasting existence. So with a smile I pinned my chocolate brown curls atop my head, intertwined in a bun fashion, and a few loose ones hung teasingly around my face, a style I had become a master at doing over the years. The natural rosey hue in my cheeks matched the pink lipstick I normally wore, and my eyes tonight were the color of sky blue, very little hints of brown mixed in, but my ivory skin accented it well. Standing up I realized I should probably get moving and slipped into the previously arranged dress; a rather long hip hugging number, that came just above my knees and was held up around my neck in a halter fashion, gems adorning the material. The pair of diamond earrings and the penthouse stilletos were my last to put on before heading out the door to the auction bar.

My driver pulled up, delivering me to the front door, and with a deep breath I walked inside not sure what to expect. A smile appeared on my full lips as my heels clicked softly on the floors on my way to the bar, passing a few happily playing pool I merely nodded in acknowledgement and reached the bar perhaps a bit too relieved and somewhat embarrased that this was my first stop, but it seemed a few others had begun to drink as well, which set my silly mind at ease.

" A long island ice tea please," I request of the bartender, with a dashing smile, and take a seat on the stool, turning slightly to watch the others play pool, a game I had never become acquainted with in the past, but I did so enjoy watching. Once the drink was handed to me, I tossed aside a brown locke of hair and sipped neatly, taking in all around me.

[kraven]

Kraven got curious and wanted to see what the big deal was about. As he entered the bar, he looked around for her before finally spotting her. He smiled and walked over to her, bowing slightly and kissing her hand.

"How come a lovely lady as you sits all alone?" he asked Syn while joining her signaling the bartender to bring two long island ice teas. "I still have something that is yours, it's in a tube and tastes like strawberries."

[Synangel]

My body jumped slightly as a familiar hand grabbed mine kissing it, making the glass in my hand shake and the contents spilled slightly on the bar. The rosey hue in my cheeks turned into a light cherry and I spun around to face him, my eyes meeting his as his kiss sent a shiver up my arm.

" I am still sizing up the place still, as to why Im alone," I say and lean over to him, placing a finger up to my lips " Shhhh..." I will have to come by later and pick up what i left behind, darling ," moving away I noticed the other long island he had ordered and also observed my first one had went down sort of smoothly. Making a mental note, I decided under the circumstances this would be my last one, as I need to keep a clear mind.

" So tell me Kraven St John, " I say stressing his name a bit seductively. " What brings you here?"

[kraven]

He smiles at Syn as he raises his glass:"Well to you and I hope you get lots of bids. You deserve them coz you are an awsome lady."

He sips his drink realizing he doesn't really like long island ice tea. "How can you even drink that? And to answer your question I'm here for you. A little bird told me signed up for this and I wanted to keep you company and support you."

[Synangel]

My eyes lit up in delight, at his offer to keep my company and support me. I had went into this all alone and was well prepared mentally, but it always made things easier to know someone was in your corner.

" Well you are most flattering, " smiling I nodded to the bartender and waiting for his arrival before turning to Kraven, rather amused at his distaste for Long Island's. " So tell me.. what is your poison; Wine...? Absinthe...?" The bartender smiled at my obvious stress on the word poison. Waiting patiently, I willed my eyes to turn to their cool blue, as I glanced up at Kraven.

[kraven]

Kraven smiled at Syn:"Sorry, I have never tasted a long island ice tea and I don't really like it." Looks at the bartender while ordering a scotch.

"I bet you'll get loads of bids so you shouldn't worry too much. You rock in more ways than one."

[Synangel]

" Ah a scotch man," nodding I watched him receive his drink and felt my cheeks turn deep red this time, a bit annoyed that he had the power to make me as giddy as he did. It had been so long since I had smiled so much, and he was all too accomodating at times.

" Well im glad you think so, cause im not too sure," shrugging I put on a more serious face, one that I was accustomed too. " Their are many vampiresses here that are very well known and have been around much longer" I sat to him, but putting on a positive face. " But im going to have fun with this no matter what the outcome," taking a sip of my drink I look at the others at the pool table, pulling my attention away from him for a moment, not wanting to seem antisocial at all, but I soon found myself being drawn back to his gaze. " Im dying to know who the little birdie was that told you I would be here,"

[kraven]

Kraven smiled as he got his scotch:"Ah this is gonna be much better." Kraven takes a sip as he looks at Syn who seemed a bit distracted by the pool players.

"You are a lovely lady and you'll get bids. It doesn't matter how long you've been around. Only thing that matters is how you present yourself here." nods as he smiles at you. "And about that little bird, well I will have to tell you that another time. "

[Ember St. Claire Wilde]

Ember had spun around in her chair to watch the beginnings of the pool game. Silently rooting both sides on, she sipped a flute of bloodwine ordered just after her second double shot of vodka; after growing tired of watching the sport, she turned back to the bar and picked up her drink, proceeding to a foosball table.

Ember set her glass down on one of the thicker sides and ran her hands over the edges. How long had it been since she had played such simple games as these? How long since she had been in the company of those who had played such a thing? Probably years, due to the fact that she rarely played herself and was never encountered in such a 'fun' place like this one. Entertainment was provided in this case, but in most others, drinking was the occasion for going to a bar (and it was her only reason for going usually). She stared at it and spun one of the handles around, her eyes glittering deviously as she pictured a ripe score on her opponent with such a powerful shot.

With one more light twitch of a handle, she picked up her drink and rooted herself at a lower table around the room. Seemed the bar was beginning to get more people in it and more than a few was a crowd, so to speak, so why not to go the least crowded area on the floor.

[Angel Mavros]

With a low laugh, she racked her cue and looked around the room. As her eyes reached the long length of the bar, she thought she spied a familiar figure sitting there talking to a rather pretty piress who could only be Synangel. Wandering over with her empty glass in hand, she stood behind the vampire. Lifting her glass for a refill, she listened to Kraven and Syn speak for a moment, not wanting to interrupt the conversation. As there was a pause in their light banter, she finally spoke, her accented voice soft and carrying.

"Hello son. What brings you to this corner of the city?"

[kraven]

Kraven almost choked in his scotch as he heard his mother speak: "Hi mom, I think introductions are in order. This is Syn, Syn this is my mother. I'm here to support her in her auction thingy and to keep her company."

Kraven took another sip from his scotch as he pulled out another chair: "Care to join us?", he asked his mom, smiling at Syn.

[shyeyeloverkil]

walking inn the bar she noticed a few has already begain to come inn and mingle, she nods with a small nervous smile and walks to the bar, She looks at the bartender and asked for a blood wine. she needed to calm down just a little, This was the first for her and she wanted to have fun,

[Synangel]

I could only smile softly as he spoke, concerning the number of bids I might receive, and came to the mental conclusion that no matter what I would make this an unforgetable memory. Raising my glas up to him I took the last sip, and pushed the glass away from me, letting the bartender know I didnt need anymore, and it was probably for the best this way. Liqour had a way of changing pires into something they normally went, and as Kraven had said it was all about how one presented themselves.

I could sense the presence of another and looked up at the woman who approached, my eyes very warm and welcoming, a smile creasing my full lips. It was obvious from the way she spoke to Kraven and the way he responded he knew her very well, and it only made sense when he introduced her as his mother. Standing up out of respect I offered my hand out to her.

" Its a pleasure to meet you," nodding I sat back down and decided another drink may not be such a bad idea, after all it was social.

[Angel Mavros]

Taking the woman's slender hand in her own, she smiled a greeting as her emerald eyes roved over the beautiful woman sitting with her son. Her accented voice was liquid smooth as she spoke.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Syn. My son speaks highly of you."

Looking at the chair, Angel shakes her head as the bartender refills her glass of scotch.

"No thank you, Kraven. I just wanted to come say hello. I think I shall be off to have a look around. You two enjoy yourselves," nodding slightly to them both, she wished Syn good luck in the auction before wandering off.
