LOCATION: founder’s ball AVAILABILITY: open to all

Her heels — tall and designer and as sparkly as her dress — had been discarded a while back and Yasmin had made no concrete plans to go retrieve them any time soon. If she was going to stand around and sip champagne with a swarm of out-of-touch rich people and terse mobsters, she wasn’t going to do it while her feet were in pain.

It didn’t take long for her to get tired of talking and drinking. No one ever seemed to want to make genuine conversation at these things, and when they did all they wanted to do was talk about Harvey. When the orchestra began to play a more jovial number, she saw an opportunity to ditch the dull chatter. “Do you want to dance?” she said out loud without bothering to turn her head and see who was standing beside her. She thought the worst they could do was say no, or crush her bare toes.

in truth, he wasn’t sure what the whole point of this was. whether it was supposed to be some sort of event where people actually enjoyed themselves, or if it was something more for people who simply wanted to show up and be seen. either way, whoever planned this could use a tip or two on what actually constituted something interesting.

“who? me?” he asked, confused for a moment since the question simply seemed to be directed to anyone - and not necessarily him. he raised a brow, before holding his hand out her. “sure. i always knew there was going to be a time when those two ballroom dancing classes i took were going to come in handy,” maddox answered with a laugh, before giving a nod in the direction of the floor. there wasn’t nearly anyone on it, but if he had to spend another minute smiling fakely and thinking about what a waste of time this was, he might’ve lost his mind. “now, i can’t promise anything - but if i do step on your toes, you have full permission to punch me.”

tugging at the collar of his shirt, loosening up another button, maddox was aware that he was probably underdressed for the event. everyone was wearing stuffy suits and what looked like rented tuxedos - but those were never his style. it was bringing more attention to him, but he wasn’t sure if it was the good or bad kind.

seeing a familiar face, they smiled, making their way through the crowd of people. “so were you one the lucky ones here who managed to score an actual invite to this?” maddox asked, looking around the room and wondering what the qualifications to actually receive an invitation were. though, they still didn’t know who was running the party or what it was even for. with a grin, they turned and looked back over at cleo. “the guy i’m with keeps introducing me as his boyfriend. how much trouble you think i’d get in if i actually said that he’s paying me to pretend to like him?”

these sort of parties only proved to make maddox feel more and more out of place. they didn’t belong in this environment, and it was all the more clear with each passing hour he spent. already having made up a bunch of lies when asked what he did for a living - an artist, a teacher, an motivational speaker - maddox wondered what one of these well-to-do’s would say if he stole and fucked for a living.

having lost track of the person who’d brought them for the night, they took the opportunity to step outside for a smoke. lighting his cigarette, he noticed someone else approaching. not that he blamed someone for wanting to duck out from the event space. “i was wondering if i’d see you here tonight,” maddox greeted as they saw who it was. a smirk played on his features as he looked over at russ. “nice of you to grace everyone with your presence. you look good.”

“- yessir, i’ll get to it as soon as i’m allowed to leave this thing. you have a good night, too.”

he once again thanked the gods for creating cordless earphones as he hung up the call, and finally managed to lift his eyes from his phone to take a quick glance around the room. having been around this particular crowd for a few years now, he was more than familiar with what went on at these founder’s balls. what he never quite understood was why they made such a big fuss about cronus - rest his soul - though he supposed that was only because he’d never met the man himself.

sipping at his cranberry juice, vincent turned his eyes towards a figure closeby, letting out a small laugh when he realized who it was.

“well, don’t you look unusually nice today,” he quipped, “though i hope you didn’t buy that for just for this thing. nothing much ever happens around here.”

looking at the people who were still coming through the doors, opulent and wealthy and obsessed with themselves, maddox would be lying to himself if he said he wasn’t judging them. if he wasn’t supposed to be on his best behavior, this would’ve been the perfect place to make some quick money. old temptations died hard, apparently. his eyes scanned the crowd, before landing on a familiar face.

at the comment, maddox smiled, shoving his hands in his pockets and looking down at his own clothes. “oh, absolutely not. look - don’t tell anyone, but i don’t even know what this whole event is for. something about a dead guy, i think? an excuse for rich people to gloat that they still have their money?” he gave a shrug of his shoulders, smiling. “i’m just here to smile and look pretty on the arm of someone who’s going to pay me well. maybe stroke an ego or two while i’m at it,” maddox replied, not so subtly checking vin out before taking a sip of his own drink. “here alone tonight?”
