Post by Reverend Mateus on Apr 17, 2016 11:40:45 GMT -5
The Reverend was, admittedly, a bit late ― Somehow, against all expectations [entirely predictable] getting that unruly mane of his slicked back without stray strands deciding otherwise, as well as dusting off that tuxedo of his, had indeed been a tiny bit more time extensive than he remembered. But, ah well, better too late than too early; and so in the end the demon did show up at the mansion. One last time Mateus ran a hand over his grossly stiff hair, before he was greeted by the strange lantern-heads flanking [guarding?] the doors.
"Evening." A simple greeting then, the card handed over, and after the common polite pleasantries Mat was allowed to step into the great hall ― Immediately he was greeted with the well-known beauty of the ballroom, and quickly he spotted both familiar and not-so-familiar faces, all in all a bit overwhelming for the moment. Out of the corner of his eyes he caught a platform rise at the leader's wave, not paying all too much attention to it just now. "...Well. That sure is a thing..." Mat eventually mumbled to himself, and for a lack of a better thought he opted to simply stay off-side for now, not wanting to get too involved in the turmoil of the center. His gaze roaming over the fellow cultists present, and he had just meant to see whether he could accompany someone he knew, when Tapi started talking ― Not much of interest in his opinion, but at least she explained those peculiar figures outside. Although, he did wonder whyever they would need a 'line of defense'...

Lunar listened to each word, her eyes darting across the room. The leader had such a knack for putting everyone on edge. It was almost impressive, almost. "Butler lantern men, huh?" she whispered quietly to her companions. She glanced towards the ball room doors, staring at the lantern men with curiosity. "How much do you supposed they cost?" she asked to those around her. To which Nylios responded, "We are not getting one- regardless of price." Lunar scoffed in response. "I was just curious." she grumbled, when she noticed Dreamer making his way towards them. Almost instinctively she held her hand out towards him, the need to pull everyone close far too great.

Gabriel appreciated Lola's presence and touch, it made him relax at least a bit. She knew the cult leader a lot longer than he did and she could read her moods better too. The vampire was always unsure about Tapi's true mood and intentions and it was very hard for the man to read the leader. He listened to what she exclaimed, turned his heads towards the door where Tapi pointed at the creatures.
The vampire had known that something was new about them. When Tapi paused for a moment, he leaned back towards Lola. "Thank you for sticking with us, I appreciate you being here." He told her before holding a glass of punch to her. "Here I saved you this one, I wonder what else Tapi has to say." Gabriel's voice was very quiet, trying to be as silent as possible, so he wouldn't gain Tapi's attention.

"Let's just sit and listen hon" She took the glass and had a sip. "So far we've got...lantern butlers" Lola snorted, it sounded rather funny to her. "I dont know what else she has to say, but I doubt it's bad". She turned to Serena "You doing alright there sweetie?". She was worried the woman might have trouble with her legs. "You both look stunning by the way". She downed the punch in two gulps.

While listening, max reached into his pocket, and retrieved a small box, he turned a bit so the majority wouldn't see. He opened the box that contained a jewlrey creation kit. He mindlessly fiddled with the individual links, hopefully unbeknownst to Jeu as he wanted to relieve boredom. He was maxing a new pendant

Max jumped in surprise and stuffed the metal back in the box. Visibly upset that she noticed, but thinking about it he wasn't really surprised. He just opened his mouth and said his voice just a harsh whisper "geez calm down! Its not like I'm ruinin anything im still listening to the boss"

Aviaua had made her way over to the food tables before Tapi nearly broke down the doors. She was honestly confused about what Tapi was saying but something told her that asking questions could come later. And from a less lethal cult member.

Dylan scooted a little bit closer to Scorpius when Tapi entered the room and started talking. His smile slightly faded when she stood up and started talking. A wave of unease went over him as she continues talking and Dylan occasionally looked at his father with concern. Awkwardly shuffling, he checked his pocket to make sure his bow was still there, which it was. At least if anything went wrong he had a means to defend himself.

Ridhi understood why they needed the defenses. Being prepared was key to survive in this world. She moved a bit to the food table to grab a snack.
