Lumsloona’s Vegas at Night dr part 2…

“Oh you haven’t heard? That Caruso boy allegedly crashed his car into that house…on his own best friend’s birthday.”

“Who’s the family?”

"Oh God the family...that family."

"The head of the snake" | Rodrigo Aldo Caruso, The billionaire tycoon businessman of the Caruso name or more commonly known as "The head of the snake" to the Las Vegas public. Born in Italy but based in Las Vegas to keep watch on his three two children as they "attempt" to navigate through the business world and eventually take over the family empire. If it weren't for him, the "who runs Vegas?" slogan, that everyone in Vegas knows about wouldn't even exist.

"Now he has to clean up after his son's mess. Again. If Kieran goes missing we'll know who did it."

"The dictatorial mother" | Allegra Maria-Carla Saffiano, a fashion executive and socialite who loves her husband dearly but her last name just a little bit more. The mother whose eldest children could claim she's the “lesser of two evils... if that's even a thing in this family”. But ask her youngest and she'll say...well actually she won't say anything at all. She's not here. Interesting...

"That brat. Who told her to go to Milan of all places?!"

"The party head" | Kieran Samuel Caruso, the eldest and only son of Rodrigo and Allegra who, to his father and world of business, has made himself a sour reputation of partying and fuck ups over the years. And yes, he's "that Caruso boy" who allegedly crashed his maroon Bugatti into a stranger's house, ditching his best friend's birthday party with said best friend an hour prior due to a fight he and his cousin had that Kieran only tried to intervene. A sad sight to see, really. Unfortunately for Kieran with a terrible lack of media training, the internet demands an apology and explanation for the incident. Unfortunately unfortunately for Kieran, Rodrigo demands his head.

"I'm gonna be so honest, I don't even know what PR means."

“The favorite” | Kiara Natalia Caruso, the oldest daughter and second eldest of Rodrigo and Allegra who don’t bother to hide their favoritism towards her at any given opportunity. She's that mixture of the coolest girl in the room and the perfect daughter. While yes, she's not one to get caught up in absolute bs like her brother, there's no such thing as the perfect daughter, especially not for a family like hers. Kiara's not just the life of the party, she is the party, and she heavily intends to keep it that way. Imagine being Kieran and getting asked "Where's your sister?" at every party you go to. See? She doesn't even have to be there for anyone to notice her presence. Poor Kieran.

"Everyone want's you dead and your sister's better than you. Damn Kieran..."

"The rebellious one" | Alessia Verena Caruso, the youngest, and most self-absorbed Caruso you can think of. Heavily influenced by her older sister but is too proud to admit it. And if it's not anyone else, trust in Alessia to go against the many words of her parents every. single. time. From bleaching her hair during her 21st birthday just to spite Allegra who said she'd never look good as a blonde, to skipping her college graduation ceremony and jet setting to Milan, temporarily cutting off contact with anyone bearing the last name "Caruso" while she was at it. Did her parents deserve it? Maybe. Did they have it coming? Absolutely. But her siblings? They were livid. And why bother coming back when your brother is currently America's #1 most hated? Why bother coming back at all if all you wanted to do was add fuel to the fire??

Lumsloona’s Vegas at Night dr part 1…

Ivy Francesca Hill, a journalist and her best friend, Janelle Evangeline Cherwin, find themselves tangled in the many strings of Las Vegas' most influential family after uncovering secrets and scandals within her article involving the eldest son. Seemingly out of no where, She gets sent an anonymous tip about an incident that occurred on the night of June 13th, 2018. Does Ivy think twice about publishing this article? Not even for a second. After all, the rich and powerful have a knack for getting away with everything they do. Surely, this won't come back to bite her in the ass or get her best friend caught in the crossfire, right? ...Right??

Jordan Xavier Lawrence, the one they call "King of parties", hosts another one of his many raved about social gatherings this time on his very birthday. But June 13th isn't just another celebration of his time on earth. Unbeknownst to anyone really, this particular day is where everything goes to utter shit. That long overdue fight he had with Seth at the party was only the beginning. And Jordan? With one too many tricks up his sleeve, the situation he soon finds himself in is the first (of possibly many) where he'd rather save himself than get eaten alive by the wolves. Again. Thankfully he has someone to sacrifice. Sad that it had to be his own best friend of all people.

Seth Damien Callahan, the new kid of Las Vegas who couldn't scream for help without getting turned a blind eye in this city. And to make matters worse, his cousin Jordan absolutely loathes him and his entire future bloodline. Seth would honestly rather the cruel and unusual punishment at his estranged billionaire uncle's office building from Jordan at any chance he gets than getting invited to his birthday party of all things where Jordan and friends could have easier opportunity to torture Seth. Humiliating him all the more. But who is he to say no. Especially when he knows his uncle is the one who forced Jordan to invite him in the first place. Besides, if Seth wasn't there, he'd have never gotten into that fight with Jordan nor would he have ever sent that anonymous tip. The only question remains...Why didn't he mention that Jordan was the one driving?

Stanford "Ford" Atlas Lawrence, otherwise known as "Caruso's other half" and being the father of an absolute partying buffoon is no easy task. He's sometimes left wondering if inviting his nephew from that estranged side of the family was a good idea, but considering the good publicity between two estranged cousins "learning to reconcile” he knows he’s going to get and Jordan's upcoming party, this is his chance to completely bury what 8 months of fraud could do to destroy a businessman. This is Las Vegas for crying out loud, people gamble, it happens. But for someone like Ford? Embezzlement isn't just a serious crime, it might put his whole 25 year long friendship at risk.

You know how that one saying goes...

shifters are literally artists and you can’t convince me otherwise. Like we create themes, aesthetics, concepts, stories, backgrounds, music, worlds, families and the list goes ON. and the amount of potential poets and writers i see in this community is INCREDIBLE. i love y’all. i love us.
