Vincent
Vincent was dancing the night away at the moment, sadly he was not able to hang with Alice during the day but he was enjoying the night. Tonight he was in dress pants and a black dress shirt, he may be immortal but damn it he'll still enjoy is birthday, maybe it was the Daeva pouring through but he seemed to own the dance floor tonight.
Tommy/Bones
Tommy entered into the club, dressed to party. Her hair was back in bun with diamond dangly earrings and she was wearing a LITTLE red dress, with black stiletto heels of about 3 inches.
She glanced back and forth, to maintain the veil, but upon noticing Vincent, started to beeline towards him.
"Hey you! Out and about alone?"
Vincent
he turns to her, "Oh, hey Bones," he smiles, "Maria and Avy said they needed me out of house for a bit, don't know what their cooking up." he shrugs, "Guess who turned twenty five tonight!"
Tommy/Bones
A laugh and a bob of her head, "I'm going to guess you're the birthday boy!"
Vincent
he nods, "Yup!" the raises his arms and gives a little cheer, "You only get to be the birthday person once a fucking year, so damn it I'm going to enjoy myself!" he continues to dance, "Care to join?"
Tommy/Bones
"Sure! I can try!" she grinned and bobbed her head, giving a flirty wink.
Then she started trying to dance with Vince!
Vincent
he nods and dances alongside her, a bit close and flirty but nothing too presumptuous, "I don't feel a day over twenty," he laughs, "Have you ever realized that the twenties feels like your still a teenager, just with the legal perks of adulthood?"
Tommy/Bones
"Since I'm 30? Yes, I did notice that! I didn't feel like an adult until around ... I'll tell you when."
Vincent
he laughs, "I hope I'll never grow up, mature, yes, but lose the wonder of life and fade into mediocrity, never!" he shouts, "Fuck I love this song, what brought you out tonight?" he asks as he sways to the beat,
Tommy/Bones
SHe puts her arms around his neck, and leans in, "I like to go out and have fun. I've had good fun here sometimes, though it is where the robocops saw me with Psyche..."
Tommy daanced happily with him, previous troubles seemingly forgotten.
Vincent
He smiles as the song plays, just focusing on having a good time, "Yeah, cops must be doing coke or something to think robots are a good idea. . ." he thinks, "Coke sounds nice about now, mind being the shoulder angel and tell me it's a bad idea?" he laughs
Tommy/Bones
"I could give you the experience, without the other problems," she nipped his ear and danced more, "I'm not much of an Angel lately."
Vincent
he blinks and grin, "Yes please." he nods enthusiastically, "I need to get high right now."
Tommy/Bones
Drawing in energies from the dance club, plucking one of Vincent's hairs while they danced, they cast some magic. Some abilities of Life, tinted with Death so that it would effect even the Undead with whom she danced.
They said a single word in Egyptian, and then it was cast.
Vincent
His eyes widen a bit at the effect, his smile getting a bigger, "Holy-" he shakes his head and looks at her grinning, "Bones is a helluva drug, I can see why Ishtar is hooked." he chuckles, "Wanna get some drinks?" he asks, "I'm 25. . .think I can take that many shots?"
Tommy/Bones
"Obviously," she laughed, "I think you could do even more... but then you cheat that way."
Vincent
"Me," he says in false scandal, "Cheat, why I'd never. . .ok maybe sometimes, who wants to play fair." he laughs, leading her to the bar, "So, what would you suggest?" he asks, "Remember, twenty five of it."
Tommy/Bones
She pinched his ass and then walked with her arm around his waist, "Well, Birthday boy. You pick. I can buy."
Vincent
he looks at her with raised eyebrow and smile, "Ok. I'll go with. . ." he turns to the bartender, "I'll go with twenty five kamikazes!" he exclaimes, and turns to her, "So, what are you having?"
Tommy/Bones
"I'll have a glass of Red please, top shelf," she said to the tender, pulling out a card from her wallet.
"Start a tab."
Vincent
Vincent smiles as the shots are brought out, taking a look at Bones, "Ok, so if Titi's Ishtar that would make you. . .Hekate?" he says, taking the first shot and downing it, wild grin on his face as he continues to take each one
Tommy/Bones
"You and Kenzie both keep calling me goddesses, and I might start to believe it," she giggled. She seemed to be actively trying to be social in this situation. Tommy was in a good mood.
Vincent
"Kenzie, think I met her, cute girl," he nods taking the twentieth shot, "You hooking up with her?" he asks, twenty one
Tommy/Bones
"She's one of mine," she said with an almost vampire growl to it, "And we are looking to join up, officially, for spooky things."
Vincent
"Nice," twenty two, twenty three, "I don't know what it is about you, you just have one of those likeable faces I guess," he smiles, twenty four, twenty five, "Fuuuuuuuuuuuck, that was good, thanks for treating a boy." he smiles, "So, your making a club then, that's nice, I think my company has little cliques outside of departments, but I don't think I'll be getting in one." he puts down the glass, "Fuck, I feel amazing."
Tommy/Bones
"I guess. In all sorts of faces too," she blushed and leaned against the Kindred, "What would you like to do next, birthday boy?"
Vincent
"Well, plenty of ideas, could use a real drink, wonder where I may find one?"
Tommy/Bones
She shivered against him and laughed, "I think I might be able to help with that..."
Vincent
"Well then, please lead the way where I can get one." he chuckles
Tommy/Bones
They touched Vincent and then they were simply hidden from perceptions. Then Tommy offered her wrist, "Here works, if you take just a sip..."
Vincent
"Thanks," he smiles and taking her wrist, he leans in and bites down into it, a little sip but enough to fill him up
Tommy/Bones
She gripped him tighter at that, and leanedinto him.
Vincent
he stops and looks up at her, "Thanks," he nods, "Titania is lucky, beauty and honey flowing in the veins." he grins
Tommy/Bones
She shuddered, hugging and squeezing him still. She was enjoying the Kiss, and the Succubi's variation to it, "Goodness gracious..."
Vincent
he smiles as she squeezes him, blushing a bit, "I know, I have great fangs," he smiles, "Maybe I should drink from you more often, if Ishtar does not mind."
Tommy/Bones
"I am my own person. I have multiple partners, multiple ways folx feed," a chuckle, and then the spell fades, "And just remember, we're out in public, birthday boy," to let him know.
Vincent
he nods, "Is a date still off the table?" he chuckles, trying his luck one last time, "Last time I'll ever ask, I promise." he says, making the cross the heart and hope to die motion of his hands
Tommy/Bones
"I still dont' approve of your line of work. Especially not the line of work you discussed with Val and I. Howling at the moon for a chance at victory? Mmm... but tell you what, I'm not... A date is good. No promises for the rest..." though with their currently addled mind, she did squeeze above his knee on the closer leg.
Vincent
"My line of work is shady, yes but it's what I'm good at," he shrugs, "And a date would be lovely, could lead to the rest, but that's all up to you." he says, taking her hand and kissing it, Visigny would be proud
Tommy/Bones
"Ooo... you have started to be a ladykiller, haven't you," a grin and giggle, the blush almost as red as her dress.
Maria
Wearing a cut out black cat suit and a green chiffon drape coat, festooned with chains and a collar, Maira pushes into the club on heeled knee high boots and pure uncut Jersey sass. A couple of likely fellas follow her inside an hang neaer the back of the room for the time being, which seems to suit Maria just fine. Her mascara and eye shadow is already artfully pre-mussed.
She finds a perch at the end of the bar and lights up a cigarette, waiting for the cute bartender. Commence over the counter sapphic flirting for higher liquor content in your drink.
Vincent
"Peoplekiller, please I'm Bi." he chuckles, and raises an eyebrow, still holding her hand leads her to the bar, "Bones, their's someone I want you to meet," he walks over, "Excuse me miss, may I buy you a drink?" he asks, "Bones, may I introduce Maria Angelica, my other better half." he plants a kiss on Mari'a's cheek
Maria
"He sucks at math," Maria explains as she hops back down to her feet and turns about to-- look down at Bones. That's novel. It actually causes her to grin a little. "Well, hey, shawty. I just opened a tab, and you're welcome to abuse it if you're here for my Vinnie. You like to dance?" Maria takes a long drag from her cigaratte, tugging at one of the rings on her collar idly.
Erik
As Vincent led Bones over to the bar the mage would notice a familiar face present nearby, watching the crowd and sipping from his drink now and again. While Erik wasn't much of the clubbing sort these days he fit in with the crowd well enough, content to lean against the bar for the time being.
Tommy/Bones
"Well, you're killin' me, and I'm a lady now," she replied to Vincent, "And yes, terrible at math. Three Halves? Unless he's discounting his own existance, which with Avery and you, I don't doubt," a wink.
"Oh, I opened one for his birthday shots," she replied to Maria, giving her that once over.
"And yeah, I like to dance. Not an expert by anymeans, but I can do it..."
As Erik caught her attention she waved, "Hey, Chef! Come on over, if you'd like! Some of Maddy's regulars are here."
Vincent
"I may suck at it, but I make up for it with enthusiasm," he says, "And other talents." he says teasing towards Maria
Maria
"Speak for yourself, I'm strange as fuck," Maria insists upon being called a regular. But she's grinning just the same.
"That joke only works if we're talking about fucking, Vinnie. Math enthusiasm just makes you sound like a math olympiad nerd. Which is fucking adorable but probably not the vibe you were goin' for, there." Maria pinches his cheek and then gives it to playful slaps and a big sloppy lipstick leaving kiss. Birthday boy, after all.
She then turns about to fetch her Tom Collins from the Cute Bartender and settles in beside Bones. "Dancing, see. That's something where enthusiasm can make up for lack of natural talent. Which why you have to be real careful to only pick the right sort of folks for dancing with, see." She's sharing this like it's a conspiratorial secret to Bones.
Erik
Erik glanced over as he was addressed, head tilting slightly at the unfamiliar face but heading over nonetheless at the mention of the diner. "Good evening...enjoying yourselves tonight?"
Tommy/Bones
"Right? And do you think the Birthday Boy would love to see two lovely ladies just dance? Grind? Maybe make-out a little?" she said in stage-whisper to Maria, but for Vincent to hear.
And then to Erik, "This is Vincent, who I've known for a while, and this is Maria, whom I've just met. There's muscle around here somewhere that belongs to her, I think. In case you don't recognize me, in my oh so pretty dress, I am Dr. Tommy SHanks, who likes to play with Bones."
Vincent
"Yes," Vincent nods, "Yes, I would love to see that." he has no shame, "Vincent Drake, friends call me Vinny," he offers a hand to Erik, "It is also my birthday." he smiles
Maria
"The bar's open, and I have like $2,000 of high grade controlled substances in my purse," Maria assures the growing confederation of unlikely persons. Her smile curls up wide and wry when Bones picks up the ball and starts running with it. Yep. She's decied to like this person, clearly. "Do you mind if my hands wander? That dress looks pettable." She opens up her clutch, then, and pops out a silver capped tube. "Right. I'm gonna go do a bump and dance until my head comes off. Anyone who wants to can follow me. I'll be back to collect the slackers."
She takes her drink, her cocaine, and her swaying hips towards the lady's loo.
Erik
The metaphorical light bulb flickered on with Bones' introduction, earning a small smirk from the Bound. "It's a great look on you."
He took Vinny's offered hand and gave it a firm shake, his own sporting the faint nicks and cuts that come with regular blade work if you know what to look for. "Erik, good to meet you and happy birthday."
His eyebrow quirked up a touch at Maria's comment about her purse's contents but he said nothing more on the matter, watching as she headed off before looking back to the pair. "Quite the lady."
Tommy/Bones
Tommy's eyes followed Maria with interest and then loked back to Vincent, "How the hell did you catch her? She's ... wow. That's your sugar momma?"
Then to Erik, "I saw a friend that I recommendedy our restaurant too again. Aya Jabir, you might recognize her name from the news, likes to work with folx like yourself to help keep the peace."
Vincent
"I'm a lighting rod," he says, eyes following Maria, "It's the lady's room. . .but she did say anyone who wants can follow. . ." he debates with himself before following like a puppy, "Save a line dear!" he says
Maria
Maria palms the face of the bouncer who tries to stop her from taking Vinnie into the women's room with her, poking some bills down his shirt pocket front as she does so. The door shuts. Presumably, several felonies are transpiring back there which will not be described in this public textual medium.
That was a joke, they're doing cocaine clearly.
Erik
Erik smirked a touch as Vinny followed off after Maria, nodding as he looked back to Tommy. "I got your text on that front but haven't crossed paths with her yet. Hoping to do so soon, though."
Tommy/Bones
"Oh goodness..." she followed Vincent with equal interest, before decided it was best to get rid of some of those feelings... burning potentia in her soul to remove the links between her and Vincent.
"Oh, couldn't remember texting you right now. She's good people. Clearly unlike some other friends of mine," she chortled.
Vincent
Blood and Coke, Vinny loves his life
Maria
True to her word, Maria returns almost as quickly as it took her to disappear in the first place. Bump and done, and now she's weaving her way back through the crowd again, dragging Vinnie along behind herself. To call her vigor renewed would be quite the understatement. Her Tom Collins is about half way gone, too. Which means the party is officially starting by her metrics.
"Ayy, guess who's back. It's me. I'm back. Sorry to disappear like that right as you turned up, party foul. Maria Angelica. I was about to ask to take this lady dancing, but that would be a party foul of the second degree, there. One more party foul and I'b be partied out! At like-- early! So I am not going to do that unless...?" She slides a look over to Bones, in a 'would it also be cool to dance with Erik if we were to dance' manner.
Tommy/Bones
Tommy lifts her shoulders and motions towards Erik as if to say His choice to Maria.
"I am more than happy to dance with any combination of the folx here."
Erik
He pondered the offer for a moment before smirking, polishing off his drink and setting it down on the bar for the tender to grab at their leisure. "I'm a little rusty but sure, why not."
Vincent
Vincent just sits and watches them with a smile on his face, he already danced with Bones and will dance with Maria later in a more private venue, he'll be the Voyeur for now
Maria
"Dope. Dope sick and tight. In that order. Fuck yes." Maria enthuses when everyone gets on board except for Vincent who gets the present of watching Maria be very hot, apparently. She takes some time examining Erik first, though. It's not the lewd sort of appraisal one might expect from a lady in a slutty cut out cat suit and blowjob mascara, it's waaaay more holistic than all that. Her eyes narrow thoughtfully and she nods her head just a little, "Yeah, okay. You are so not my type, but yeah. Okay. I bet you're sweet, aren't you. Is he sweet?" She asks it aside to Bones, whom she seems to feel confident can answer.
Whatever the answer she finishes off her Tom Collins and sets it down, then swats her clutch into Vinnie's stomach for him to hold on to. "Happy birthday, baby." Empty handed and coke headed, she slaps her hands together and rubs them vigorously. "Let's dance."
Tommy/Bones
A bob, "Quite sweet. Cares about people, wants to help them, and is a chef, so likes to make and feed folx!"
Then she followed Maria out to dance.
Erik
Erik took Maria's thorough once-over without issue, smirking a touch at the question and Bones' answer. "I do my best."
It had been a while since he'd been out on a dance floor like this, although it didn't look it judging by how he found his groove rather quickly. He kept close to the two ladies but didn't get too overt, seeming to be enjoying himself all the while.
Vincent
Vincent takes another shot from the bartender and takes a swig, he's high, he's tipsy, his girlfriend's putting on a show for him, "Good to be the birthday boy."
Tommy/Bones
Tommy was two left feet, trying to keep up with both Erik's groove, and Maria's, but the goal of being sluttly and sensual for Vincent's eyes today was messing the dance, as well as keeping close, but respectful distance to Erik. It was a hard combination and she was failing.
Maria
Maria dances like she does just about everything: like it's her last day on earth. It's not quite abandon, it is instead incredibly determined. Purposeful. It would be easy to dismiss her as nothing more than a party girl if all of this weren't such an obvious and deliberate choice. It's a weird thing to mix with cocaine and liquor, but here she is. Still with her wits about her, mostly. Dancing with the safest guy in the club and the girl her guy was making eyes with when she walked in. For someone exhibiting all the classic trappings of rock bottom, she's sure best-lifing the fuck out of her time down here.
Her dancing, when it comes down to it, is essentially vertical foreplay. But that's what all the good dancing is these days, really. And because Erik has been deemed safe? She has no qualms about grinding on him with slutty good cheer. Bones may be failing, but she's cute, and Maria clearly doesn't care. Big thumbs up for all and sundry.
"You guys need to relax," she admonishes playfully, "stop leaving room for the holy spirit, his ass ain't comin' till mine does." She lets out a whoop and spins an imaginary lasso over her head.
Erik
"I am relaxed." Erik replied with a chuckle, keeping solid time with the music and allowing the pair to bump and grind as they wished while keep anyone trying to be rude from cutting in and making an ass of themselves.
Vincent
Vincent was indeed biting his lips as he watched them, become more and more entranced by them, "Fucking hell," he mutters, "I love my life."
Tommy/Bones
She waited for the next song, and then with the tempo change and the new mood, tried to actually 'relax' (read: do better) and dance!
Maria
Maria unfurls in the safety cast by Erik's protection. Safe men are a rare gift on a dance floor, especially when they don't read completely gay. And so she puts on a show for Bones, and for Vincent. But for the moment? It's for Bones. (And by dint of proximity, Erik! Lucky fella!). She leans back into Erik's chest while holding onto the belt of Bones's dress and grinding rather luridly on her thigh besides. She rises out of that when the song ends, nodding her renewed encouragement to Bones. "Forget about everyone but us," she suggests to the other woman, grabbing her hips to help landmark the tempo with the sway of her own, lulling them both down into that backbeat like it's a lover. She loses her sunglasses as the bass drops, and the eye contact could peel paint off a battleship. It is at first commanding, and heated, and hungry. But Maria lets Bones watch it soften as the dance goes right on happenin'. Maria can get lost in these sorts of things too, see.
Erik
Maria found Erik to be a surprisingly solid leaning post, pleasantly well-built under his white dress shirt and jacket. As the pair focused on each other he moved along with the song, content to let them enjoy themselves.
Vincent
Vincent couldn't hold any longer and stepped to the dance floor, dacing with the three, he tried not to sure favortism but kept gravitating to Maria
Tommy/Bones
She completely gave into the desire and the want to be more, and danced with Maria. Some would call it a sex act at this point, but it was technically street legal. As Vincent approached, she turned her direction to dancing with Erik, "This is fun!" she said, because she was still Bones.
Maria
Once Bones is fully liquid and in the moment, she gravitates towards Vincent, too. But it's got the air of 'I am about to tell you something' and a lot less 'I am about to ask for something.' And the thing she leans up to tell him is whispered in a club, so most probably can't overhear her whisper it, "I'm gonna take this girl into the back and get her help. Do not fuck this up with your dick."
She nips his neck hard, then licks his jaw once hard enough to catch in his stubble, then gives him a gentle shove away. And now that Bones has watched her be an ethical slut, she walks right back to Bones and slides back into the dance to whisper in her ear, "You want to come with me? C'mon." She begins to entice Bones towards the back of the club and its backstage and green room and all sorts of places these two shouldn't technically go.
Tommy/Bones
Bones wouldn't show up on the camears for a place like this, so why did they care? A beautiful, dangerous, sexy woman was interested. That was more than enough to see what the fuck was going to happen next.
"Be back soon, Chef, Trip," apparently calling Vincent Trip for some reason before following.
Erik
Erik smirked at Bones' comment, nodding in agreement as he started to dance with her. When Maria began to lead her off he looked for where they were heading, glancing to Vincent and tilting his head back towards the bar to indicate he'd be going that way himself.
Vincent
Vincent nods at Erik, and goes to pick up Maria's things, they have Tony's so no one was foolish enough to try and pinch them. So now he sat and waited like a good boy while Maria did her helping folks thing, what a nice and responsible girlfriend.
Erik
After hunting for a spot at the bar for himself and Vincent Erik put in an order for another cuba libre, looking the young Kindred over. "Which birthday is it for you, out of curiosity?"
Vincent
"Twenty five." he says, "As Simple Plan once said in a boring ass song, so a normal song for them, I'm just a kid." he shrugs, "What kind of band sucks so hard their one good song was Scooby Doo?"
Erik
"That does take some doing, yeah." He replied with a chuckle. "Grats on the 25, too. Getting closer to 40 myself, but things are going pretty well these days so I can't complain."
Vincent
"Thanks," he raises an eyebrow, "You don't look a day over 30, what's your secret?" he asks with a chuckle then gets a text, he looks at it and sighs, "Fuck I'm in deep shit."
Erik
"Everything in moderation and not getting too stressed about things as they come." He smirked, glancing at Vince's phone as he checks it. "Something up?"
Vincent
"My sister, pissed that I ghosted her on my birthday. . .can't exactly tell her I get sunburn pretty bad these days."
Erik
"Gotcha." He nodded, thinking a moment. "Any reason you didn't plan something with her tonight instead?"
Vincent
"Yes, because I want my sister to hang with me while I'm. . .you did see what I consider a fun time, yes?"
Erik
"I did. Doesn't mean you couldn't have made time for her, too." He thanked the bartender for his drink, taking a sip for emphasis before looking at Vincent. "Nice dinner or something beforehand, just to show that you kept her in mind."
Vincent
he sighs, "I've been a fucking mess of late, since my. . .accident, it's been hard to do the normal things, she's in college now so her schedule is messed up, ugh, why do I feel like an ass?!"
Erik
"Because you were one." He smirked a touch, looking Vincent over. "Take it things happened somewhat recently, then? I know my adjustment period right after was rough."
Vincent
"Joined the company two months ago." he nods
Tommy/Bones
Eventually, Bones followed Maria, arm around her hips and hand squarely on the Ghoul's ass. She didn't seem to mind who looked, and winked at Vincent as they neared, "You have a keeper here. I apologize for denying your offer to a joint venture. I'd be more than happy to help clear the air around Maria's family home."
And once they had a seat, and a new pina colada in her hand, she started to use her various senses to magically study Maria's patterns, bringing forth their knowledge of Prime, Forces, Spirit, and with a little potentia, Space. Maddy's, this was not, and although the scrutiny of listening to Maria, and pushing potentia in and out of her pattern from a distance would make the Ghoul feel something the question would be what.
Erik
"Understandable, then. Been about two years myself." He nodded in return. "Best I can recommend is to apologize, maybe say you were busy during the day and couldn't get a hold of her, and offer to do something soon to make up for it. Making time for the people you have here is important."
He nodded to Bones and Maria as they returned, smiling at their closeness. "Enjoy yourselves, ladies?"
Tommy/Bones
A blush rose in reply to Erik's question, but she didn't voice anything.
Maria
"She tastes like white tea and clean leather," is Maria's answer to the question put to her. "If you kiss me you can see for yourself, still, probably." If people are going to ask the question, she's going to make sure they regret the decision. Or, you know. The party just got a lot better! Anything to encourage debauchery, it seems.
Maria fetches her clutch back from Vincent to fish out her compact and check her make up a little closer than the bathroom mirror permitted. She fixes her lipstick, then tosses it all away again. "What'd we miss during recreational cunnelingus?"
Vincent
"Not much, got an angry text from my sister for ghosting her today, we usually do lunch on birthdays so. . .yeah I feel like an ass." he says rubbing the back of his head and gives Maria a kiss, "Tastes amazing."
Erik
"Good combination there." He said with a smirk, taking a sip of his drink as Vincent went in for that kiss. "Talked a bit about making time for people while you have the opportunity to do so."
Maria
Maria returns the kiss to Vincent, sliding an arm about his waist easily and in a manner than makes it clear he was a good boy and now will be getting her further attention, yes. "Erik, me and bones have open tabs if you want to load up. Also, if you all want to just grab a limo and take the party there-- or like. We could chopper out to the yacht if you wanted. My guy's turning twenty five, here. T-Payne was already booked, so you guys have to help me out."
Vincent
"Yacht," he blinks, "You have a Yacht, wait of course you do," he turns to the others, "Does a Yacht party sound nice, how many people constitute a party?"
Erik
"Already topped up, but thanks." He lifted his fresh drink to highlight, looking between the trio. "Don't have anywhere else I need to be at the moment."
Maria
"I can call Lamara, ask her to drop by. Maybe she;'ll drag Henevi along. Maybe Avery'll turn up. Plus, if that dumbass fucking bird shows up on my yacht, nobody has to pretend we're not prepared to eat some fuckin' crow if you get me. So. I mean, it's out in New Jersey, but that's what the chopper's for like I said. At the Marina by the shorehouse."
She points at Vincent, "You can invite that old bag you're dating, Titsonya. She'd liven any party. Heck yeah."
Tommy/Bones
She seemed to be busy with thoughts, barely in the conversation but at the thought of flying and a yacht, she gave a thumbs up and a grin to the grouping, "and no, I date Titania," was the slightly possessive line, "he just feeds her."
Vincent
"Yeah, I can't date her," he nods, "Avy's not a fan, she just sucks me. . .that didn't come out right."
Erik
Erik stayed tactfully quiet as the conversation turned that direction, letting the trio decide the path for the evening's events.
Tommy/Bones
"What... The fuck..." she mutters, like she saw something frightening.
Maria
Maria just laughs at all of this and starts walking away from the gathering of assembled persons, aiming for her idling bodyguards near the front of the club. After some chatting, one steps out to make a call, probably for the car, and the other begins spending a lot more time looking to see who's watching Maria's party prepare to leave the club.
Maria comes back through the crowd again and announces, "Tony'll have the car brought around. Then we're off. I've not gotten to fly the chopper in a minute, so this'll be fun. Are any of you guys scared of flying? I don't mind driving out, it'll just add about 90 minutes of sitting in a car, that's all." She checks her watch when it buzzes with a message. "About three minutes for the limo."
Vincent
"Remind me again why your with me?" he chuckles as he puts an arm around Maria, "You can fly a chopper?"
Erik
"Sounds good." He nodded to Maria, then looked to Tommy at her quiet exclamation. "You alright?"
Tommy/Bones
She half said in reply to Maria, "it... would be easier if it was the four of us, and no lackeys..."
To Erik, "I... See something, I need to study it."
Maria
"And my jet. And rotor engine. And my yacht. And my Bugatti. I base jump, too. If it's useful in escaping a sticky situation with my head on, I'm pretty good at it. One day I was like 'what if some guys kick in my door with guns and all I have time for is diving out the window?' So I learned base jumping. Same thinking with flying a chopper. Though that's just way more fun, generally."
"Don't worry, I'll keep the crew out of your hair, but you don't want to be a yacht without a crew. That's no fun." her watch buzzes again. "Alright. Let's git." Maria tugs Vincent for the exit.
Vincent
he smiles as she tugs him, "Lead the way my love." he laughs
Tommy/Bones
She followed along, studying his sight but at least not able to be ambushed, "I meant in the helicopter or car..."
Erik
Erik smirked at Maria's follow-up, looking suitably impressed. "Nothing wrong with being prepared."
He nodded to Tommy at her answer, taking a moment to polish off his drink as the group readied to head out and following after the trio.
