#event 01

[missfortescue]

Alice practically floated through the halls of Burke Manor with a quiet enthusiasm. Between her brutal work schedule and her duties with the Order, a high-society event, the kind she usually wouldn't be caught dead at, suddenly sounded like the perfect late-evening escape. Plus, there were free drinks. She’d have to be a fool to turn that down.

Am I completely ignoring a stack of paperwork that’s been slowly building on my desk all week? she thought. Yes. Yes, I am. But what the hell, you only live once.

Spotting a familiar face in the sea of dressed-up strangers and folks she wished were strangers turned out to be much easier than expected. Smirking, she steered herself through the crowd, sliding right up to her friend’s side. "Funny seeing you here," she joked.

open starter where: near the media area when: mid afternoon

Having achieved anonymity for the entirety of the afternoon, Cole had gotten a little too confident. His ridiculous disguise of dark clothing and a labeless baseball cap had worked wonders in his opinion. No one had noticed him. Not that he was all that surprised as the grounds were crawling with professional athletes who were far more noticable in Dallas. It was almost freeing. He had gotten very distracted, enjoying the talking and laughter around him. Cole hadn't even realised until it was almost too late that he'd stumpled upon the media area. He glanced up from his phone like a deer in headlights. Frozen still on the spot. His heartbeat picking up with the fear that if anyone was going to recognise him, it was the people here. Suddenly, Cole pushed himself into action and spun on his heel. Colliding almost immediately with someone walking in the opposite direction. "God!" The male exclaimed. "I'm so sorry. Are you okay?"

📷 — "Is it time to go home yet?" Sarah could manage an event like any average person, but the influx of people... the stress that came with these storms. The crowds made everything a bit too overstimulating. Despite the very real desire, the woman was teasing her partner, taking her hand and squeezing it for reassurance. "Has anyone told you you look pretty tonight?" It wasn't like she didn't let the vampire know a dozen times before they left the house, in one way or another.

📷 — To settle her nerves, Sarah had visited the bar a few times tonight. The drinks were strong, likely to compensate for the supernatural guests.. and she was quickly falling victim to them, cutting up the dance floor and enjoying herself. Her hand reached out to someone, beckoning them to join her.

“Having fun?” Josie asked Elena with a smile as she sat down at a table across from her.

Damon had thought about avoiding Elena all night, actually he had thought about avoiding this little fundraiser altogether. He had written a check and dropped it off, wasn’t that good enough? Somehow he found himself standing in a dark corner watching the guests, until his eyes landed on Elena. He cleared his throat as he walked up to her. “You look good.”

Damon had been trying to take it slow with the alcohol, drinking just enough to have a good time. He danced his way over to Bonnie, grabbing the drink from her hand and sitting it on a nearby table. “Dance with me, witchy.”
