closed starter for @anikabooker when/where: nouveau grand opening
"You, Ani, you did all these?"
The fine art scene is certainly not for Valka -- and the Booker girl is likely the only person in this world the elder hunter would dare have gotten dressed up and out of the house for, especially after what happened at the vampire's Masquerade massacre. She's still not entirely convinced this won't go ass-up but as far as Val can tell, the gallery is not controlled by any one faction. Besides, she knows Anika would bristle if she said so, but she's reluctant to leave the girl behind in case another situation breaks out. She already failed her once.
So the woman sips a champagne glass as she stands looking at the art on display. Some appropriately disgusting looking pieces, Valka is kinda considering bringing something home from this shindig to spice up her walls. And it doesn't escape her, the fact that Anika's been swilling liquid courage (or liquid fuck-it-all) already. She doubts it's entirely for the nerves. "What made you wanna display 'em at a frou-frou gallery opening?"
