"A PRAYER FROM YOUR SECRET GOD" I wasn't quite sure yet what I intended to achieve at this gathering, but the news of a new Supreme had caused me to become curious, at which point I couldn't resist. I had made an effort to dress my very best, in an earth toned suit of brown, and a white dress shirt. Perhaps a bit dull in comparison to many of the others I was seeing as I approached the doors to the renowned Voodoo Room. The women were adorned in jewels and dresses that begged the question of their modesty, but this was not something I was naive to, though it still left me uncomfortable at times.
Entering the room, it was apparent I was hardly the first to arrive, the echo of chatter made the room feel stuffy and crowded, though I think it was in part due to my desire to leave as soon as I stepped in. I had once been a man of lavish parties and balls, but time had faded those desires and left a more reserved man, and I found the solitude of my small home to be enough. The aroma of perfumes and liquor was familiar, the scent of expensive taste, something I still could appreciate in any century. I made my way towards the bar, my appearance would have blended in without question, I had the smug arrogance of my species, but my limp never ceased to cause a spectacle. If you glanced around a room of vampires, one thing could be certain...they were strong, predatory, and not a flaw in sight, and then there was me, limping forward with a heavy grasp on a dark black cane.
The eyes shifting to observe the oddity of my malformed movement could be felt as I scooted up onto a bar stool and let my cane rest on the counter in front of me. I swiveled around so my back was to the bar, and I leaned back against it, my eyes surveying the growing numbers. Some faces I'd seen in passing but never spoken to. As my cold blue eyes laid to rest on a woman in an orange topped dress. She looks like a fucking tangerine... My unfriendly thoughts slipped around as I eyed her from across the room. I knew who that was, and the miserable face of Aidan was all I could associate it with. A scowl had formed over my expression, though I hadn't yet become aware of it.
