HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT ! O’ the masks they done. Heavy lids painted with violet. Lips rouged, coated thick akin to blood. Smoke forms wisps in the air around her — Heavy with heat, heavy with song. Rapture in its prime, if one even believed the city ever witnessed such an era to begin with. The gown she wears, formfitting and era-appropriate, yet her standoffish demeanor indicates the exact opposite to any KEEN observer. No amount of superb acting could diminish the distinct air of displacement that clung to her petite frame like the scent of cigarettes and rose perfume.
The corner of the bar becomes her observatory. Bright eyes drifting across the club with a nonchalance that could almost be mistaken for boredom bur rather the traveler was surveying the room. She found salt and pepper hair and a piercing gaze. A look alone and she felt as if she had been laid bare before him, costume discarded and intentions revealed without so much as a ‘hello’. A man of visions, for in her pursuits across the timelines she had caught glimpses of him, cloak billowing, a single eye. Memories were scattered only appearing in brief flashes and then darkness. The knowledge of PAST selves, present duplicates, all of which she was an amalgamation of.
With an exhale she catches the attention of the bartender. Eager are his steps towards her, with a nervous grin he offers his services. ❛ What can I get you, miss ? ❜ An elbow comes to settle on the polished wood surface. ❛ Oh, nothing for me. ❜ A perfect blush dusts across the apples of her cheeks, a display of feigned embarrassment. ❛ Actually it’s for someone I’m SWEET on. ❜ Chin inclines upwards pointing out the ‘lucky’ man in question. ❛ I got just the thing. ❜ Quick to please he scatters before given any indication of approval from the young woman. ❛ Perfect. ❜ She whispers as she snuffs out her cigarette in the crystal ash tray before her. A moment later the drink is delivered to the intended recipient and as the Sorcerer meets her gaze painted lips part into a smile, inviting yet not without a certain chill.
