Simmering ((Open RP))

[Lilith]

Lilith wandered into the Club from an ill-lit passageway. The suited man nearby hardly showed any sign as she walked past. People coming out of it were obviously of permission. It was any who may spy it and seek to go in that would deserve scrutiny.

She wore an outfit of mostly black, though the accents of her corset and shoes were of a deep, somewhat iridescent blue. Her makeup also bore tinges of the color, shadows and mixtures of an almost gothic impression. The latex of her short dress stretched low and tight across her ample bosom, the sleeves going down to subtle points over her hands. Her fingernails sported such a deep blue that until the light caught them, they seemed black.

The skirt of the dress seemed to barely make it to her thighs, but it still managed to provide the modicum of propriety she required. The thigh-highs were also latex, a very subtle and translucent blue. Clips from a garter could be seen holding them in place.

The spike heels of her black, calf-high, platformed boots clicked along the slick floor as she made her way to the bar. She wondered who was working this evening and who else she might see. The night was yet young, the music less insistent than it would be later, though nonetheless inviting and inspiring.

She smiled at Meghan behind the bar, nodding as the young lady proffered an empty martini glass as silent question. Lilith half-turned, leaning a bit against the slick, clean surface, waiting for her drink as she looked out over the vast main chamber of the club.

[Kimochi]

Kim walked into the club, dressed in an extremely tight black and metallic purple long-sleeved latex leotard, long fingerless gloves stretching from her hands all the way up to mid-bicep. Her legs were sheathed in thin, perfectly tailored clear latex stockings, her feet clad in knee-high black patent gothic platform heels. Over her shoulders was a creaky black PVC trench-coat, which she shrugged off and handed to one of the cloakroom staff.

The outfit fit her perfectly, the line of the leotard's hem at her crotch emphasizing the length of her legs and the curviness of her hips. The rubber stretched tight over her breasts, nipples erect and only just visible through it, presumably from the cold night outside.

Her platform boots thumped on the floor as she sauntered over to the bar, heels forcing her to sway her hips with each step in order to keep balance. She leans on the bar and winks to Lilith as she sees her, catching the attention of one of the bar staff and ordering a gin & tonic, all the while keeping one eye on the door.

[Melphon]

Somewhat nervously, a young woman with striking blonde hair followed into the club a few moments later than Kim. Dressed in somewhat similar attire, a black latex leotard clung tightly to her soft, smooth and frosty skin. Around her neck and hands the latex was coloured white, contrasting with the black material of the rest, keeping with the colours she tended to always wear. Her legs were clad in tight fishnets, criss-crossing her skin down to the thigh-high boots with white lace.

Her stance was a veil of confidence as she strode into the club, looking out for Kim and then smiling as she saw her. Starting on her way, she smiled politely to those who noticed her, her cheeks flushing as she clearly wasn't used to so much attention.

Reaching the bar, she sidled up against Kim with a smile, though kept quiet and didn't say anything for now, just gently running a hand across her back before leaning on the bar next to the purple-haired woman.

[Lilith]

Lilith turned to Kimochi, a warm smile claiming her darkened lips. She let her eyes move up and down quickly, perusing the woman. The subtle arch of her eyebrows indicated her positive reaction.

"Evening, Kimochi," she greeted.

She then glanced over to see Meghan setting her martini on the bartop. She nodded once with a thankful smile, taking the glass and sampling it.

"So, how are you doing, Kimochi?" she asked.

Just then, the other woman arrived, and she seemed rather familiar with Kimochi. Lilith gave her a quick once-over, her light smile never leaving her face.

"And who is your friend?" she asked, taking another sip of her drink.

[Mind_Puck]

Dapperly appointed in a black, paisley embossed, crushed-velvet suit, Puck slipped out from behind a curtained divider. He glanced casually around the room, looking for a client with a particularly good taste in wine.

He reached into the side pocket of his vest, and flipped open a silver pocket watch, noting the time. Glancing up, noticing the proper patron, he smiled and gave a nod, flicking the watch closed and replacing it in his pocket. He fingered the thick silver chain that held the watch, following it up to it's loop on his chest, and beyond, giving it two gentle tugs.

"Time to serve, Pet." he murmured to the side, in the direction of the long silver chain that disappeared beyond the curtained veil, scooping up two wine flutes by the stem as he stepped into the room.

[RexCelestis]

He had looked at the leather pants in the shop for several moments, wondering how they would feel on against his skin. Binding, he decided and without telekinesis, getting them on may cause uncomfortable abrasions. Self. This was an opportunity to define Chris Tippler. He needed to develop a sense of self. He would not have another opportunity to change, next time.

He went with a new jacket, three quarters length, open front, lapel-less, dark. It covered a vest full of swirling purple and maroon paisleys, and gray open colored shirt. He looked at himself in the mirror feeling every bit of forty-four and well out of reach of modern popular culture.

Empathy had seen something in that reflection. The good doctor smiled at the unbidden thought of the young woman, then winced at the thought of his rejection of her offer. He chuckled as he shook his head. He really was getting old.

Chris Tippler adjusted his glasses and stepped into the club, heading for the bar and the first of the vodka tonic of the evening.

[Kimochi]

Kimochi smiled and slipped an arm around Hannah's waist, squeezing the girl against her firmly as she sidled up beside her. She planted a gentle kiss on Hannah's cheek before turning back to Lilith.

"Evening, Lilith! I'm doing really rather well... This.." She gave Hannah's waist another rubbery squeeze "is Hannah, also known as Royal Flush."

She smiled at the girl in her squeaky embrace "This is Lilith... she's the Matriarch of the House of Thorns. My boss, basically..." She winked playfully, thanking the barmaid as she handed her the drink she ordered.

"And how have you been, Lilith? It seems like it's been forever since I last saw you!"

[Melphon]

Hannah smiled warmly to Kim as she was squeezed tight to the other woman, her cheek taking a faint blush as it was met with Kim's lips.

As Lilith was introduced, she blushed ever so slightly deeper, then inclined her head politely with a smile. "It's... a pleasure. And an honour too, Miss... Lilith."
Her voice was tinged with worry, as if she thought herself not good enough to be introduced just yet, but the warmth of Kimochi seemed to grant her confidence, pressing in against the other woman a bit more as the pair chatted.

[Lilith]

"Ah, Hannah, very pleased to meet you," Lilith said, inclining her head once in greeting, then turning her eyes back to Kimochi, "I have been well. Things carry on, do they not? I see you seem to be occupying yourself well," she commented, glancing pointedly at the two.

She looked over to see Chris approaching the bar, and she raised her glass in greeting, a warm smile on her lips. She drew in another length of the martini, then looked back to the ladies.

"So, Hannah, is this your first time here at our playground?"

[selina666]

There was some days that Selina didn't entered the club and it was today the first time she did it that way. Covered from head to toes in a tight red catsuit, including her tail, she was in her half cat form. Most peoples around here would only think that she was just a cat fetish, not a real shapeshifter and it was great. The hood was tight and shows only her eyes and mouth. Of course she knew that before undressing she'll have to morph again to human if she would not wish to have most of her fur riped but it feeled so great.

Advancing quickly, nearly on four as she always did in that form, she reached quickly the bar and jumped on a stool, near the others, smiling widely, her tail moving happyly from left to right.

" hi everyone ! Nice to see all of you here. "

Moving on the stool, she made her latex squeak as she stretched her arms.

[Angelica]

"Time to serve, Pet." At Master Puck's command and the gentle tugs on her leash, Angelica followed him into the room. Stepping from behind the curtain with smooth even steps, she rolled her mary-janes from heel to toe so her tray never wavered.

She wore her latex maid's uniform, the top colored in black and white with a latex 'lace' around the collar to simulate a traditional Maid's uniform in a single piece of tight custom fitted material. The dress continued downward only a short distance, the bottom hem barely low enough for modesty's sake while standing. Extra long black latex gloves, fishnets and mary-janes completed her uniform. Tonight she had some accessories. A black latex monoglove, the laced sleeves covering her hands, pulled her arms back behind her until her elbows were touching, thrusting her ample breasts outward, her hardened nipples pushing outward against the tight material of her uniform. Her tray was attached to her at her belt, the support straps running from the front side edges of the tray to d-rings on her collar. There was another accessory, but it was safely hidden beneath her panties and the fishnets, only hinted at by the careful step of her walk, the glint in her eye and the flush on her cheeks as Master led her into the room. On her tray was a single bottle of wine and the accouterments for its presentation. A pair of wineglasses, a serving towel, and a corkscrew/foil cutter in blackened stainless steel with a dark purple handle on which a monogrammed P was embossed in gold.

She held her head up high, proud that Sir wished to present her thus even as the thought of so many people seeing her this way caused so many emotions to run through her. The tight material caressing her body, the breath of air under her skirt embarrassing her with its brevity, the binding of her arms and her leash both restricting her and advertising her position as a mere accessory for her Master tonight. The combination of sensations keeping her in a heightened state of arousal even as she fought to push them all to the back of her mind, to concentrate to fulfill her functions for Master tonight, to keep the wine stable and be quick to follow the commands of her owner(s).

[Mind_Puck]

He moved forward with a certain authority, a creature in its element, not pausing to ensure his charge had followed. Snaking his way through the crowded room, making his way to the esteemed patron - he picked a path that would prove difficult, but not too difficult for his pet, there was a rather expensive bottle of wine involved, after all.

Upon reaching the small booth, he smiled at the older gentleman, giving his significantly younger companion a nod as well.

"Always a pleasure to see you back in town," casual conversation spilled naturally from him, while he deftly readied the wine with the fluid sort of motions a surgeon might make; wiping the bottle down with a towel, which he casually tossed over Angelica's shoulder, presenting the bottle, uncorking, and finally pouring two glasses for the pair of guests.

He spoke about the wine with a genuine passion, as he poured a small draught for himself in one of the glasses he had snatched from the bar, holding it under his pet's delicate nose as he spoke of flavor profiles and tasting notes. As he finished, he smiled down at her, tipping the glass such that a single drop of wine caught on his thumb. He wrapped his hand under her chin and lightly brushed his thumb along her lips, drinking in both the remaining wine, and her visual, himself.

[Tanie Burns Rush]

Tanie had not been seen for days, except by Angelica and Magyk having stayed there for the past few days. She was all well rested now, her complexion back to normal except for the occasion parinoid twitch. She was dressed in a dark red tuxedo, fit to her strong figure. Her fire dyed hair was slightly hidden under a fancy dark red velvet hat perched upon her head. A ciggarette was already lit in her lips, red with lipstick. She took a long slow drag off the smoke with one hand, letting the smoke drift lazily out of her mouth while her other hand was busy doing one handed cuts of a deck of cards. Walking up to the bar on her high heels she gave a smile to Puck, Lillith, and Kim, nodding at Angelica and noticing the new guy. Silently she got the tender's attention, ordering up a cosmopolitan for her to drink as she sat down next to Selina and petting her neck gently, placing the deck on the counter. She didn't give a hello to anyone just yet, content on waiting for them to greet her

[selina666]

Happyly, Selina turned to face Tanie, her tail moving quicker as she feeled the hand on her neck. For a moment she thought about pouncing and huging her but it would not be ery appropriate.

" Hello mistress, so great to see you ! Hope you're fine ! "

She then paused, unsure how she would react now, how she would salute her or stand, would she stay siting on the stool... Her eyes and posture betrayed that interrogation as she looked Tanie.

[Melphon]

Hannah gently grinned, still nervous at being introduced so quickly, but she kept herself within Kim's personal space, giving her the confidence she needed.

She smiled brightly at Lilith and nodded. "It is... not my first time in the scene, per se... but never to a place quite like this.

Her smile was nervous, hoping the comment came across appraisingly as it was meant. "And of course... thank you, too. I think I'll come here more often."

[Angelica]

Angelica smiled as her Master admired her. She couldn't help but gently kiss some of the moisture from the thumb he brushed across her lip, cheeks blushing at the attention. Master had not introduced her to his friend, and neither had spoken to her so she kept quiet, smiling pleasantly.

She wasn't here for conversation; she was on display, so she worked hard to keep her lines clean, not slouching, head up proudly, chest forward, shoulders back. (The monosleeve helped those last two tremendously) She stood in a slaves stance, neither knee locked, one foot flat, the other forward on the ball of her foot, well balance, showing off the curve of her leg, and ready to move or be moved at her owners' whim. As Tanie caught her eye, she replied with a lowering of her eyes, responding without speaking, or interfering with the tableau she was presenting.

Inside she was considerably less calm, her cheeks were flushed in embarrassment and arousal and she was staying quiet through sheer willpower, internally whimpering as she could feel her excitement spreading warmly between her thighs.

[Mind_Puck]

Smiling a final, wide, Cheshire grin to the patrons after setting the remaining bottle on table for them, Puck bowed slightly, a single tug of the chain indicating he expected the same from his pet. He was already walking away as she curtsied to the Club guests.

Friendly nods were given to all the new arrivals, House and non-House alike as he paraded her back across the room, taking a much more leisurely route this time, squeezing through patrons here and there, smiling at the thought of his serving girl being forced to follow his exact path.

Eventually he slid through the curtains dividing off a back stockroom again. Taking her tray, and the towel over her shoulder as she entered, he smiled and snapped his fingers, gesturing for her to bend over at the waist. As she did so, he replaced the tray on her back.

He clasped his hands behind his back and pivoted down, inspecting her critically beyond the uplifted skirt, before clucking his tongue loudly, followed by a sharp "Tsk."

He unceremoniously reached up, underneath her and dragged the towel along her underside, before tossing it into a pile of dirty bar rags.

"Next time we might have to put you in a hello kitty diaper."

He paused, as much for effect, adding, "Pity too, would be terribly hard to hide such a thing in such a short dress."

[Tanie Burns Rush]

Tanie would give Angelica a smirk and a wink before turning to Sel, still petting her slowly. "Ah my little chaton. I am doing much better than before thanks to the help of others and to Magyk and Angelica letting me stay in their appartment so I would not be assaulted by my dreams." She noted her unsure looks and chuckles softly, taking another drag off her smoke, holding it in as she leaned foward and nibbled roughly upon her ear and let the smoke come out as she talked into her kitten's ear. "Informal tonight. You will obey me but besides my orders you are free to do as you wish." With another hard bite of her ear she smirked and moved to look at Sel in the eyes. "For now." She then gave her a gentle kiss on the nose before picking up her drink and taking a few small sips before setting it back down. Her other hand continued to mess with the deck for a few more minutes, cutting and shuffling with the single hand before letting it sit on the bartop in a straignt pile.

[selina666]

A bit confused, Selina looked Tanie then smiled widely. Her friend was looking now much better and that was the most important thing for her.

" Understood ! I didn't knew about your dreams you know but I'm so happy that it ended nicely. So bad I was unable to help you. Well, maybe that's not the proper place and moment to speak about it. Let's enjoy tonight. "

Lifting quickly her mug of milk, she siped and purred, before looking everyone again, her tails moving under the stool. With a distracted hand she massaged her hear, regreting that she was alreaydy no more feeling anything. Maybe she would try to find a "solution" with that to fast healing power.

[Lilith]

Lilith nodded to Hannah, noting the young lady's nervousness. Being exposed to the scene could mean so many different things. Some people in the city felt too much exposure simply upon finding out that such a place as this existed in their otherwise pristine urban sprawl.

"Well, I do hope you enjoy yourself," she offered, then she turned to the others, "Selina, Bonjour. Comment vas tu?"

It was not long after her question that Tanie arrived with her usual flair. Lilith noted the manner in which she quietly sat with no overt greeting, so the Matriarch simply offered a silent nod in greeting. She watched as Selina and Tanie began anew their interplay. It was charming to see, the two of them experiencing things together, like tandem cave explorers. The smile on her lips warmed a few degrees as she watched.

[RexCelestis]

Chris turned back to the bar and ordered another drink. He had returned Lilith’s acknowledgement but stood apart. He felt like an interloper on this world and did not wish to disturb her. Another cold drink settled in his hands. Perhaps he would offer some conversation after a bit more lubrication.

He turned around to scan the club, looking for Rim. He had enjoyed their conversations when he first applied to the House, but had not seen her recently. He blushed at the sight of collars and leashes. He would say that his knowledge of sex work and the slave trade in Asia tainted a belief that such master/slave play would titillate. He read the studies. He knew the behavior fell in the spectrum of regular, even healthy, sexuality.

He feared the loss of control such play seemed to invite. What would he reveal in such a state? What secrets? At the same time, he wanted direction, someone to tell him how to be Chris Tipler; someone to give him permission to relax and define this self. For a moment, he wondered how a leather strip would feel against his neck.

The doctor took a sip and shook his head clear of such thoughts. Em had showed nothing but discretion with her telepathy. Other mind readers at the club may not hold the same ethics.

Latex and leather covered long strips of well formed flesh, accentuating curves and hinting at the skin underneath. Chris appreciated the unspoken promise of beauty uncovered and for a while he lost himself in thoughts of slick black against his chest.

[Satyxes]

Satyxes pushed the mirrored shades higher upon its nose with a single crimson-painted claw-tip as it entered the club, smiling to itself. The so called 'door bitch' had given off the most amusing scent when it passed - it was of course displaying its blue skin and curving horns, to be fair - but he had motioned for it to pass inside without hindrances.

The new latex bodysuit Saty had obtained fit snugly, covering it from ankle to neck in deep crimson with a subtle line of black tracing across the chest and legs to break the uni-coloured surface. The sleeves disappeared under a leather trenchcoat - coloured in the same black-and-crimson hues as the bodysuit - hanging open over its shoulders. Finishing the ensemble where a pair of heavy combat boots - in basic black leather, polished to a high sheen to somewhat match the glint of the latex.

Tilting its head as it entered the dancefloor area, it stopped and went through the usual ritual of scenting the place and its residents. Taking its time to separate the known scents from the unknown, marking them off on the mental map of the club floor.

Matriarch... Puck... Angel ? yes... Fire-hair and the cat-woman. Hrm, Chris as well. Kimochi...

Running through the list of names as it grew and grew with recognition, Saty maintained a rather rigid pose at the entance for a few moments. Then as if snapping out of a daydream, its head righted itself again before walking over to the Matriarch.

It stopped just outside of what it considered 'respectful personal space' - just a bit farther away than a human would - and inclined its head respectfully, awaiting the Matriarch's acknowledgement, unwilling to interrupt the ongoing exchange of words.

[Lilith]

Lilith looked over, noting the new arrival. She very much admired the particular suit that Satyxes chose to wear this evening, and perhaps a hint of that was evidenced in the slight change of her smile as she gazed.

"Greetings, Satyxes," she offered, inclining her head once, slowly in acknowledgment.

[Tanie Burns Rush]

Tanie grins and pulls Selina close to her, rubbing the latex covered kitten, making her squeak some. "Yes, the good present is the best time to focus on right now." She giggles softly and rubs her kitten's neck gently. "If only if I had brought your leash with me tonight. I'll just have to suffice with just cuddling with you for now." As she gently started to pet Selina she took another look around sipping from her drink. She had been practicing new skills to help her cope with the nightmares and it gave the added effect of sheilding her mind, continiously runnning through hands in different card games to hide her thoughts. She raised her drink at Saty and grinned at her with her smoke in her mouth just idly burring down.

[Satyxes]

Satyxes raised its head at the sound of Lilith's voice, taking off the shades as it did so. For a mere second, it locked eyes with the matriarch before returning the greeting respectful inclination of the head.

"Greetings, Matriarch. If you have need of me, I will await your order."

Putting the shades back on, it turned with a simple nod of greeting to Kimochi and the one standing near her. It needed a drink... a good, strong one and as it reached the bar - returning Tanie's greeting with a friendly raised hand and a nod at Seline - it ordered one of the better whiskeys in the selection, turning it's back to the counter and leaning against it as it resumed its scenting in silence.
