A Bargain Struck - Log by DarkClaw
An Elemental Lair
[Exits: north]
The darkness of this room is almost consuming, save for the faint glow from
the fireplace set into the Southern wall, the light strong enough to highlight
the beautiful tapestry hanging above it. The burning embers within the hearth
seem to come alive and dance over what's left of the charred logs, causing
shadows to play upon the huge pile of furs spread across the rocky floor. To
the east is a writhing vortex that allows no hint of what lies beyond its
currents, the shifting shadows of the floor echoing its rhythm in movement.
The sound of water can be heard coming from the west, a large sheet of rain
pouring in from the skies above, through the open ceiling. Odd that it only
inhabits that space. To the north stands a barricade made of solid ice, no
hint of exit visible upon or around its surface.
Venom yells (in halfling), 'May I enter?'.
You yell, 'Yes'.
Venom arrives from the north.
Venom strolls in casually.
DarkClaw looks up as your scent enters her office.
Venom says (in common), 'I suppose you received your invitation.'.
You say, 'I did, yes.'.
You say, 'I think it's a wonderful idea.'.
Venom grins evilly, his elongated fangs glistening.
Venom says (in common), 'As always, there is more to it than meets the eye.'.
Venom winks suggestively.
You say, 'Yes. I've obviously been curious what's up your sleeve now.'.
Venom says (in common), 'You'll be attending then?'.
You say, 'Of course. What would a Kindred masquerade ball be without the Kindred Queen?'.
You smirk.
Venom says (in common), 'Excellent. Now, there is a small matter that perhaps you can assist me with.'.
You say, 'Though I'm curious why you wanted to make sure I was there.'.
Venom says (in common), 'You're curiosity will have to go unsatisfied.'.
You raise your eyebrow at him.
Venom says (in common), 'I do need help though'.
You say, 'You're actually asking for my help with something?'.
Venom nods.
Venom says (in common), 'Indeed'.
You say, 'Go on...'.
Venom says (in common), 'I will require a maquerader's mask. I was hoping we could use your powerful magicks to reform my cloche into something more suitable'.
DarkClaw folds her arms over her chest and leans against the hearth. "One can't be purchased at a vendor?"
Venom says (in common), 'We both know that I must have something unique. I am above petty vendors'.
DarkClaw smirks and rolls her eyes. "Ahh, but of course. Venom can't be seen in anything but the very finest."
Venom says (in common), 'Naturally. Although I do not value material wealth in the way I value my goals and studies, I do have standards'.
You say, 'There will be a price.'.
Venom says (in common), 'I would hope so.'.
You say, 'Are you willing to pay the price for it?'.
Venom says (in common), 'I must first know what that price is, I cannot agree sight unseen'.
DarkClaw beckons you closer with a single finger.
Venom smooths his dark hair back and preens his vest clean of lint.
Venom strides confidently before you, practically nose to nose.
DarkClaw inhales your scent deeply, dragging her nose across your jaw till her lips brush your ear. "A dance".
Venom chuckles, evidently amused.
Venom says (in common), 'Madam, you will have your dance.'.
Venom bows before you.
You say, 'Done, then.'.

You ftell, 'You will have your answer in that time.'.
DarkClaw ftells, 'You should attend, Aphelion. It will be nice to relax for a change.'.
You ftell, 'If it is Your Will, Lady, then I am your obedient servant in all things.'.

Venom ftells, 'Are you planning to remain with us for a while Aphelion?'.
You ftell, 'in what regard?'.

Venom (unseen) ftells, 'I understand. I must also finish my business with DarkClaw before adventuring'.
You ftell, 'speaking of food...'.
You ftell, 'has anyone seen Eluch of late?'.
Venom (unseen) ftells, 'I have only seen him once this week'.
You ftell, '*murmurs* a pity.'.
DarkClaw ftells, 'He was on as recent as yesterday.'.
DarkClaw ftells, 'I smelled his scent within the temple.'.
You ftell, 'Thank you, Lady.'.
You ftell, 'tormenting, isn't it?'.
You ftell, 'if you wish, Venom, and the spot in which you seek to train in will accommodate, I could rest nearby and provide regular Sanctuary spells.'.
Venom ftells, 'That sounds like a good idea to me'.
Venom ftells, 'But first I must finish with DC'.
You ftell, '*nods*'.
You ftell, '*bites back all else she might say*'.
Venom ftells, 'We are fashioning a masquerade mask for the ball'.
Venom ftells, 'We should not be much longer'.
You ftell, 'Ah. I suppose I should consider such things...'.
You ftell, 'Unless a cuirass is considered formal attire'.
Venom ftells, 'I think you can do better.'.
You ftell, '*grimly* I have not been out of armor in several years. This should prove interesting...'.
Venom ftells, 'You may feel liberated'.
Venom ftells, 'Or perhaps even vulnerable'.
You ftell, 'Neither of which are particularly welcome emotions'.
Venom ftells, 'You are formidable, you can deal with it'.
You ftell, '*shrugs* I am a soldier and I will battle - even if the conflict is with corsets and crinolines'.
