Sweet and Dangerous

Lana Carlyle. An enigma, inside a mystery, inside a sweet girl just looking to destroy relate to others

Finally, a party.

[greymonroe-deactivated20140407]

I’m sure you’ll do your best, Lana. [nods] Ah, I suppose. Can’t say I’m extremely familiar with their television and film counterparts. Didn’t have a TV growing up. [grins, his eyebrows mildly up. Grey wasn’t familiar with their literature counterparts, either - he’d never found reading fantasy fiction to be enthralling when he knew the reality] I agree they’re very sensual creatures, though. Sensual and dark. It suits you.

[lanacarlyle]

I have more than a few creative ways in mind. [smirks] How positively refreshing, I can't say you missed much. Tv shows seem to become less and less educated as the years pass. Today's television is primarily mindless drivel. [smiles, charmed yet again by the handsome wolf] Why thank you. I'm particularly fond of that description. Would that everyone could see me in such a flattering light. 

[gainesborough-lydia-deactivated]

Do men make a habit of treating you unchivalrously?

[lanacarlyle]

Not here, no, however in the past....well, let's just say that the so-called New York gentlemen have nothing on the men of Beacon Hills.

A-yo, A-yo, I heard you ridin’ with the same tall, tall tale Tellin’ em you made some Sayin’ you runnin’ but you ain’t goin’ no where Why you procrastinate girl? You got a lot but you just waste all yourself They’ll forget your name soon And won’t nobody be to blame but yourself, yeah

[greymonroe-deactivated20140407]

Finally, a party.

[greymonroe-deactivated20140407]

Well, I promise to never underestimate you. [grins mischievously, a spark in his eyes] Thank you, Lana. And I quite agree. So where did the inspiration for your costume come from? [arches an eyebrow] A tv show? Vampires are so popular nowadays…

[lanacarlyle]

I'll just have to make it an unforgettable fact for you. [winks] Glad to hear it. [gives a slight shrug of her shoulders] It's simple, yet sexy. [leans it] To tell you the truth, I've always been fascinated by vampires. They're such an interesting allegory for the more...shall we say, passionate emotions. All blood and lust. Tv show vampires rarely live up to their literature counterparts, with the exception of Twilight of course. That series is horrible in any incarnation, but it was too be expected. Vampires can't be Disney-fied without turning into something abysmal.

[greymonroe-deactivated20140407]

Finally, a party.

[greymonroe-deactivated20140407]

I like it. [beams] A diamond in the rough, you say? Fair enough, I suppose, though I think you’re plenty sophisticated. Especially intellectually. [shrugs a shoulder] I don’t know how similar we look, but he is gorgeous. He’s apparently some modern version of Captain Hook - not entirely familiar myself, but I think I’ll have to start watching the show myself.

[lanacarlyle]

Sophisticated, yes, but constantly underestimated. I am much rougher than I appear, as you well know. [rakes her eyes up and down, checking out his appearance] You look very dashing, I'm sure you're his equal if not his better. I'm in favor of any show with attractive characters. 

[gainesborough-lydia-deactivated]

You have no idea

[lanacarlyle]

Is that so? Well, I think I might have some idea. 

[gainesborough-lydia-deactivated]

Likewise was chivalry drilled into mine, it seems.

[lanacarlyle]

Well, I'm certainly grateful for it. There aren't nearly enough men today that are in possession of good manners. You're a dying breed, apparently. 

[gainesborough-lydia-deactivated]

Likewise, I am sure. [Allows himself to smile; she is beautiful woman after all, and it’s All Hallows’ Eve] I am afraid I am not familiar with that tradition [Takes her hand again, placing a soft kiss upon it]

[lanacarlyle]

It was drilled into my head at a young age and I never quite forgot it. I suppose I'll always consider myself as such. [Smirks, pleased by his gesture] You appear to be quite the gentleman.

[tatiannafell]

Yes, let's all dress up like monsters of the night.

[tatiannafell]

Uh no. I grew up as town royalty, there was really no need to want to be anyone else. 

Ah, slutty costumes. The most important part of Halloween. 

[lanacarlyle]

That's fair.

It does seem to have become a tradition for girls who are so inclined.

[greymonroe-deactivated20140407]

Finally, a party.

[greymonroe-deactivated20140407]

Don’t worry, it was only a tease. I’d never mistake you for being in love with me. And of course, weren’t they known for their roguish charm? That’s what I was going for after all. And you are such a treasure. [grins wide] I’m actually supposed to be a…’Killian Jones’, according to my pop culture expert friend. Heard of him?

[lanacarlyle]

I think roguish charm is the perfect way to describe you. I'm not sure that's the word I would use to describe myself, but I'm not averse to it. Perhaps diamond in the rough might be more accurate. [purses her lips in thought] I don't recall him, but if he looks like you I might have to check out the show he's on.

[greymonroe-deactivated20140407]

Finally, a party.

[greymonroe-deactivated20140407]

Oh, absolutely. It’s part of my nature.

It is very fitting indeed. And is that right? Don’t tell me, is it because I stole your heart? [chuckles] I suppose in another life I’d  have made a fine pirate.

[lanacarlyle]

I'll keep that in mind.

Nothing so sentimental, but you did ravage me thoroughly. I'm fairly certain that's a pirate specialty. [nods] Of that, I have no doubt. 

[greymonroe-deactivated20140407]

Finally, a party.

[greymonroe-deactivated20140407]

And you’re looking stunning.

Interesting choice of costume, Lana.

[lanacarlyle]

It's nice to see that you're still as charming as ever.

I've been going to parties as a vampire for years now. They're normally portrayed as being both dangerous and sexy and I happen to think that fits me to a T. After our night together, I have no trouble buying you as a plundering marauder. 

[greymonroe-deactivated20140407]

Finally, a party.

I needed this.

[lanacarlyle]

You're looking handsome tonight, Grey. 

[tatiannafell]

Yes, let's all dress up like monsters of the night.

[tatiannafell]

I kind of like the one I have.

it’s called life.

[lanacarlyle]

So you've never wanted to pretend you were someone else for a day? Just to see what it's like? It's a fun game. Besides, I don't see many people dressed as monsters here, although there is quite a variation in terms of slutty costumes.

[clarasalvatore]

I wasn't aware that this house was capable of holding this many people in.

[clarasalvatore]

We never really know with kids these days.

Why? Where are you from?

[lanacarlyle]

I thought I saw someone dressed as the Phantom earlier, perhaps he stole one in order to lead some charming, young, ingenue astray. 

The Upper East Side of New York City. It's all fancy houses filled with priceless collectibles and family heirlooms.

[gainesborough-lydia-deactivated]

[Hesistates for a moment before taking her hand and giving it a polite shake] Finn Mikaelson. [Smirks] I must not have heard that you were a lady

[lanacarlyle]

[Pulls her hand away slowly, intrigued by this handsome stranger lurking around. Lurking was normally her territory.] Enchanted to meet you. [Smiles] Any girl born and raised on the Upper East Side considers herself to be a lady. 

[clarasalvatore]

I wasn't aware that this house was capable of holding this many people in.

[clarasalvatore]

Well, people under the influence can’t really tell if an object is valuable or not. If he wanted something worth selling on the internet, he should have taken a book from the shelf. First editions, most of them.

[lanacarlyle]

You're correct, still whether someone was sober or not commandeering a candelabra seems like a bizarre choice unless. Being surrounded by so much luxury reminds me of my home.
