#event.conclave

Her heads down as she searches her clutch to retrieve her phone, shoot Autumn a message. Make sure her and Aria are okay. Make sure Jac is good, though they all have more utility. She's trying to get everyone to start a coven groupchat. The flirty vampire had at least seemed interested. She remembers then why she can't find it, confiscated at the door. So lost in thought she doesn't realize until she is nearly bumping into someone, "Oh I'm sorry. I was just leaving." She says awkwardly a little surprised when she realizes how ethereally beautiful she is. Vampire, must be.

Jeanette is dressed to impress and depress — her goal at the gala is get everyone's eyes on her, starting with her date ( @millieteethewolf ). She understands this is a big political event and as someone with big political aspirations in the supernatural community, it's her big chance to make herself known, and make sure everyone remembers her name at the end of the night.

Nataliya's heard stories of the Conclave for as long as she's been a hunter, and researched its history for as long as she's been a historian, so when the opportunity came to attend the gala in Port Liery, she simply couldn't refuse, whether Kali ( @kaliofruin ) wanted her to or not. Lucky for her, the vampire had plans for her during the event. Nat shows up unarmed and as vampire's plus one, but as the Hunter that she is, she's ready to fight should the occasion arise.

Jamie's not a fan of Galas, she's not a fan of being among so many other witches, and she's not a fan of being a representative of her coven ...but she has a situationship ( @codie-mohren ) to impress. She actually tries this time and leaves the leather jacket behind for a brand new outfit - courtesy of her best friend - and jewelry, which belonged to her mom. Jamie's gonna make the best out of an uncomfortable situation.

Olivia arrives without a date, but following closely the other members of her pack. She has never been to any event as fancy as this one and hadn't 'pitched in to rent her a dress she wouldn't have anything to wear. This is also the first time Olivia is forced to confront the fact that vampires, witches and hunters are actually real, and not an elaborate prank her new friends have tried to pull on her for the past several weeks. It is needless to say, she's freaking the f out.

Saira arrives fashionably late to the gala, not joined by anyone from either Warwick (the pack she's just secretly quit) or Harford (the pack she just secretly joined) and drawing the attention of those who didn't expect to see the youngest Hassim at the Gala. She's used to having eyes on her but not to being alone when that happened. She takes on the attention with a charming smile, fighting the urge to hide behind her cousin @aviofruin. This is her night, and she's gonna make it through without anyone's help.

If there's anyone that really cares about the Gala and the reputation of his clan, it's Kingsley. He tones down on his usual colorful looks to something more simple but still daring enough so it is unmistakably him. With Kingsley is Silas ( @goldenveins-silas ), employee, friend and human, to whom he promised to show the real beauty of the supernatural society.
