Thea In NYC

I'll never be what you want me to be, I'm just not built like this.

The moment Anton heard shots being fired, his mind went straight to Domino. Wherever she was he had to make sure she was safe. But even as his mind went to her, he couldn’t ignore the immediacy of what was happening around him. Even if he managed to locate the initial shooter who set things off, it wouldn’t have made a difference. Nearly every damn individual in the room was armed, and the sound of bullets whizzing past as he ducked for cover told him the return fire was immediate. Pistol in hand, he slinked out from beneath the bar, trying to catch sight of who’d been hit. Was Thea okay? His mind was racing. He needed to find both her and Dom, fast. “Oh, no you don’t.” Anton growled as a gang member next to him began to draw their gun. He grabbed them by the collar, slamming them back against the bar. “If you know what’s good for you, you’ll fucking drop it, now.” He snarled, pressing his against the base of their skull. He wouldn’t hesitate to blow their brains right out if they so much as attempted to fire it.

The sounds around her were all melting together, a kaleidoscope of noise which culminated with the explosive gunshots drawn from the balcony, and the tentative peace in the room snapped like a taught rubber band. She saw the metallic flash of weaponry all around, and in her search for anyone she could trust, her emerald irises found Anton. The muzzle of his weapon was buried into the sensitive flesh of a man's neck, and though Thea had seen him around guns for the entirety of their relationship, there was something about his features which still struck fear into her. 

"Anton." The brunette cried above the din of the crowd, her features drawn tight with concern, though she was trying very hard not to let him see the trepidation about her now. Her eyes flickered around the room, dark and observant as she sought Amelia. Now T knew he was safe, her concern for the woman had become paramount as well. "What the hell happened?" Her eyebrows were stitched in concern as she inquired from him, holding out her palm to call him over.

anastasiajones​:

Feeling particularly uneasy among huge crowds, especially when people were hidden under the secrecy of the masks on their faces, Ana was searching with her eyes for a good vantage point that would allow her to feel at least a bit of sense of control over her surroundings. Although before she could finish her little task she had set her mind on, a call of her name took away her attention and made her head spin around in search for the source. 

When her glance fell on a familiar face, she mustered up a small smile more out of politeness than a genuine feeling, yet she was glad seeing a friendly face. “Hello, love. You look gorgeous.” She complimented truthfully as she took in the woman’s beautiful attire while returning the kiss at the same time. “Honestly I feel like shit, but am here to drown it down with champagne and some wine to at least pretend I actually want to be here.” She let out a small huff with an ironic chuckle before continuing. “How about you? I feel like I haven’t seen you for ages.” 

As Ana expressed how she'd been upset lately, Thea felt a concerned frown twist her features and she laced her arm through the other woman's and began to lead the way to the bar. "Well, I am sure that there is more than enough champagne and wine, we just have to go get it." Leading them towards the bar through the crowded room felt like swimming upstream against a current, yet with slight persistence the pair of them made it to their destination.  

Finding the two of them seats, T ushered the bartender and ordered two glasses of champagne for the pair of them, which appeared before them quickly. The brunette took a sip and the crisp bubbles tingled against her tongue. A small smile took to her lips and she looked up at Ana, wanting to distract her friend from her upset. "Did you know champagne is technically wine? And we only call it champagne instead of wine because all champagne is sparkling wine, not all sparkling wine is champagne."

“I’m feeling rather large,” Amelia admits, a soft chuckle parting her lips. “However, I believe it’s part of the deal. Thus, I am dealing with it.” Eyeing her assistant carefully, the woman let her gaze travel about the room moments later. “How are you enjoying your evening? Keeping busy and having some fun, I hope.” 

Thea couldn't help the small giggle at Amelia's commentary, reaching out to offer the older woman a comforting touch on her shoulder. "Well, I've yet to ever be pregnant, so i cannot say that I empathise with you. You however certainly have my sympathies." T felt a grin building on her lips before she continued, "But what you get at the end of this will be worth all the upset, assuredly. Do you know yet if it's a boy or a girl?"

riley-anderson-nyc​:

Riley turned around, recognizing the woman that had become their cafe buddy. “Thea!” Riley replied with a smile. “Well, didn’t you know the whole city’s here tonight?” They returned her wink. “Thank you.” They said, patting their suit jacket. “You look amazing, that’s quite the color.” Riley replied, checking out her outfit while wiggling their brows.

“Please. I would love that.” They chucked. They made their way through the tight crowd. “Jesus, this place is filled to the brim.” Riley said as they held onto the arm Thea laced through theirs.

Thea's companion wasn't wrong in their statement that the place was indeed full nearly to bursting. The bustling of people was consistent, they were nearly always touching elbows with another, and their linked arms did well to keep the pair together. It was a cacophony of sound from every direction until they split off into a slightly less loud alcove which held the bar. Searching out two free seats was difficult, yet she finally found them, and guided Riley and herself through the throng of bodies to occupy the empty seats. When they finally settled, T let out a slight sigh and then smiled at the other. "Whatever you'd like, it's on me." The brunette winked at her friend, waving her hand slightly in the hopes of attracting the bartender.

xkohler​:

“Don’t even joke about that.” He said, giving her a mockingly stern look as he downed the rest of his drink suddenly like he was afraid she might take it from him. “Now, let’s go find both of us a drink.” He grinned, placing his hand at the small of her back to guide her towards the bar. “So whose hearts are you breaking? Do they have a name?” He asked. It wasn’t lost on him, the stunningly crimson red dress she wore. Her? Lustful? He wasn’t sure he even wanted to let his mind wander in that direction. That was best saved between her and her apparent admirers. “If you need any advice…” He offered. “Maybe I could help.” 

Thea scrunched her nose up slightly as he downed the rest of his drink and then rolled her eyes, though a little giggle bubbled from her lips. The girl allowed him to lead her to the bar, enduring his questioning and finally his offer to teach her about reproduction. "Ew. Stop. Okay. No thanks. I know how sex works. And I also know how safe sex works as well. We're so good in that department." T laughed slightly louder now and bumped his shoulder with her own, though she had to reach to do so. "But actually her name is Skylar. And I hope I don't break her heart. I hope she heals mine." The brunette murmured softly, almost as though she didn't want Anton to hear her, her makeup disguising her growing blush.

skylarxkennedy​:

Skylar heard a soft clear of the throat and her head turned to look over her shoulder, her gaze resting on the brunette from the coffee shop, a smile coming along her lips. “Thea,” she greeted her as she let her eyes glance down the woman before raising them back up towards her face. “You look beautiful.” She told her as she gestured towards the bar. “Join me for a drink?”

The moment that the blonde called her beautiful Thea was grateful for the blush she had applied as it hid her true flush from the compliment. Though her voice came steady and confident as she replied. "But I still look far less lovely than you do." Her flirtations were nearly natural at this point, and she held out a hand in silent inquisition of acquiring Skylar's own. "Lead the way." T motioned with her arm, a pretty grin filling her face.

thexiomarareyes​:

Xiomara reluctantly followed the patterned carpet that led back to the room filled with faces that couldn’t be detected at first glace. It drove her actions to be hindered by subtle anxiety in which forced her physical being to retreat for a moment of silence. Her eyes were suddenly drawn to a flash of crimson that revealed to be the very brunette she planned to seek out before the news of the violent attack on their affiliates property. “I might just have to ditch my date,” Mara teasingly noted before welcoming Thea in a friendly embrace with her cheek accepting the affection with ease. “I’m okay, and you?” She questioned before releasing the female to an arms length with her eyes trailing down once more to take in the lustful inspired ensemble. “Consider me yours for the time being,”

The friendly face was just what she needed, though Thea hadn't realised it until just then as they broke from their embrace. "Shall we go find somewhere quieter to chat? I can't face the  hubbub anymore right now." Reaching up to pluck the mask off her face, the fresh air rejuvenated her skin, and she glided her arm through Mara's effortlessly as she led the other girl away from the party and into a quieter room. They'd settled into a study and T made herself comfortable in a leather wingback chair which occupied the left corner of the room, motioning for Mara to take the chair opposite hers.  A decanter of some dark liquor sat on the corner of the desk and the brunette helped herself to it. Without realising it, she'd been drinking more and more lately, though she never lost focus of her task.

xkohler​:

He watched her as she plucked his drink from between his fingers, a hint of amusement in his eyes, a small smile dancing across his lips. Here was someone he didn’t mind seeing. “You are a sight for sore eyes. Where have you been all night?” He asked as the drink was returned to him, traces of her lipstick marring the once clean glass. He deliberately took a sip after her, his gaze unyielding on hers. If it was a game she wanted to play, he was happy to oblige. But the teasing didn’t last long as he drew nearer to pull her into a hug. “Come here, you.” 

""Off breaking hearts, of course." Thea stated conspiratorially, adjusting the voluminous crimson skirts that depicted her as being the sin of lust. Though the mood grew more sensitive and the girl knew from the more tender look about his features that he was happy to be back in society even if it was a masquerade. Her arms wrapped around his stomach, her head just barely resting on the base of his sternum, and for a moment T felt absolutely safe in his hold. "Let's go find me a drink, unless you're offering yours?" The question was facetious, punctuated by an arched eyebrow and small giggles as she stepped back from his grasp.

Closed Starter||Riley&Thea

@riley-anderson-nyc​

Riley was unmistakable despite the mask worn to disguise their features, and Thea, bored senseless at that very moment was grateful for the friendly distraction. "Riley, I didn't know I'd be seeing you here. Though I am glad I did, considering how good that outfit looks." T felt a smirk grow on her features and she offered her companion a wink, playfully flirtatious as she'd always been with them. "Shall we go have a drink together? Stronger than coffee, perhaps." Her tone was convivial as her arm laced through theirs, the brunette's smirk morphing into a sensitive smile.

Closed Starter||Dakota&Thea

@dakota-fuentes​

Thea was a naturally friendly person by nature, and despite all the recent events she still felt the necessity to make new friends. Therefore, when she saw the pretty brunette standing alone in the corner, she plucked up two glasses of red wine from a server's tray and made her way over to the lonely looking woman. "Hey, I'm Thea." A smile crept across her features and she held out one of the glasses for the other to take "You looked a little lonely so I thought I'd come say hi."

[theainnyc]

Closed Starter||Joey&Thea

@joeyconnor​

Thea had seen Joey Conner hanging onto Christopher's arm for the entirety of their relationship yet she had never personally gotten to know the girl. There had always been something about her that attracted attention though, a secret darkness that the brunette felt attached to. Out of politeness T offered a smile and wave to the girl as she saw her walking up. She wasn't sure if Joey even knew who she was, yet the young woman wouldn't be fazed either way. 

[theainnyc]

Closed Starter||Anastasia&Thea

@anastasiajones​

Thea had not seen Anastasia since before the attack that would ensure Sugar Rub's demise, yet she'd been wanting to reach out to her newfound friend and check on her well being. It was fitting then when she walked in, her golden lame dress attention grabbing, particularly when paired with the roman style mask she had chosen. "Ana" T called out to her through the din of the crowd, gathering the vibrant scarlet hem of her own dress so she could approach more quickly. "How are you? I'm so sorry I haven't reached out sooner." Concern gripped her features and as she took a few steps closer to the blonde woman, pecking her gently on the cheek.

Closed Starter||Sarah&Thea

@sarahkrongcld​

The brilliant gold gown that Sarah adorned stood out from the mostly darker frocks in the room, thus casting attention upon the older woman. Though she wore a mask it did little to hide her identity, or perhaps Thea just knew her face that well.  Approaching the woman, T cast a smile upon her red lips and offered a nod. "That's quite a dress. I'll say it's an especially astute choice. I still have bruises from our last training." 

[theainnyc]

Closed Starter||Xiomara&Thea

@thexiomarareyes​

The champagne in Thea's hand had become sickly sweet and as a waiter passed, the girl graciously handed it off to the server and headed from the crowded room to the quieter hallway. As she slipped out, a grateful sigh secretly fled her lips and she gazed around her far less populated surroundings to find Mara gliding towards her. The other woman was a vision in the same vermilion that the brunette donned and T giggled at the coincidence. The pair of them were becoming increasingly similar and as Xiomara came to a pause before her, she leaned in immediately for a hug and light kiss on the cheek. "How are you? It's been too long."

Closed Starter||Skylar&Thea

@skylarxkennedy​

The night had been awash of colour, pomp, and certainly every kind of sin they were meant to represent so it was refreshing to see her. The gorgeous blonde from the coffee shop was hidden behind a mask, yet her lovely emerald irises gave her away, and T felt an odd quiver of nerves in her stomach. Rolling her eyes at herself, Thea pulled unconsciously at her hair so it would fall better and made her way across the ballroom floor towards the other woman. A smile found her rouge painted mouth and the brunette cleared her throat softly and then murmured. "It's nice to see you again, Skylar." 

[theainnyc]

Closed Starter||Anton&Thea

@xkohler​

The brunette's eyes trained on Anton's tall form as she surveyed the ballroom, he stood hunched against the plaster, looking like he'd gratefully become the wallpaper if it got him out of the party. Thea felt a familiar smile crawl up her lips and she gathered the crimson fabric of her dress into her palms as she made her way to him across the wood of the ballroom floor. "Hello." She said simply, dropping her dress unceremoniously and reaching to pluck the drink from his palm and raising it to her own lips. There was a mischievous glean to her mossy eyes, yet she said nothing else as she handed him back his beverage.
