Fear and Loathing in Kitsap: Daeva Delights 11/18/2008
"Lust's passion will be served; it demands, it militates, it tyrannizes."
The Marquis De Sade
On the 18th of November in the year 2008, Agony once again hosted a gathering at the Shinju Hari in Kitsap, Washington. This time, the evening was a delightful Daeva party.
A proper hostess knows that to have a supreme party once must have occasional activities mixed with the time and space for your guests to mingle. It was generally acknowledged that Agony pulled off this event with grace and style.
A number of the most important luminaries from the region made an appearance:
Prince Belson, Prince of Kitsap and Tacoma
Prince Vasili, Prince of Olympia
Consul Nova of the Evergreen Rose Republic
Imperial Primarch Nathaniel Green of the Crones
Imperial Primarch Viloktisce Karkarov of the Dragons
Acting Imperial Primarch Misery of the Lance
Prince's Harpy Vincenzo DelGado
Keeper of Elysium Aaron Locke
Sherriff Acrimony
In addition, there was a host of others equally delightful that made the scene dressed to the nines very eager to win the best dressed contest.
As with any good party, the best bits are always in private. I did manage to catch various snippets here and there.
The triumphant Prince Vasili offered mentorship to Zeal so that he might teach him how to act in a fashion befitting a proper gentleman. It was noted that said tutelage might make Zeal doubly dangerous as he is already far too charming.
I heard a couple of important people say that they were quite impressed with the showing of the Invictus such as Liam O'Dauherty and Isolde Lance.
A former resident and *valued* Carthian B made a surprise return to the domain. No doubt, hearing that the members of his blood were hosting a party he came to mingle and be seen. His presence and presents were quite welcome.
Imperial Primarch Viloktisce Karkarov noted that he found Misery to be quite charming and that the Lance was in good hands until Imperial Primarch Typhus returns.
Prince Vasili and Prince Belson expressed an opinion that they felt that Lady Ashe was a *valued* member of the domain, but that they had understood why she had been reduced in standing. I spoke to Lady Ashe and she promised to try very hard to behave as a *valued* member of the Nelson Imperium. It speaks well of Lady Ashe that two princes would praise her so. I trust that she will not let them down, if she does I'll be watching and waiting.
It was discovered that there was a potential masquerade breech by Taa'eese'he Poeso of the Crone. It seemed that a naughty vampire had killed a family and had not been too discrete about it. Acting Primarch Misery organized a small investigation team that consisted of Levity, Malice, Taa'eese'he Poeso, and Ravive. They returned with information about this foul miscreant.
Sheriff Acrimony led a small group to track down this criminal. B used his police contacts to discover that the monster had struck again, only this time he left behind a witness in the form of a little girl. Levity and I secured the girl while Liam aided. We ensured that her memories of the night would not be tainted with monsters. Taa'eese'he Poeso tracked down the beast that risked the Masquerade and then the crew explained to it why doing such deeds is a bad idea in Kitsap. I'm told that part of that explanation included a proper skinning. Yes, you read that correctly.
Towards the end of the gathering, Agony called for a tally in the best dressed competition.
At the beginning of the evening, each guest was given one blue and one red chip. Each guest was instructed to give the blue chip to the best dressed man and the red chip to the best dressed woman.
Two were tied for the best dressed gentleman. Sir Liam O'Daherty looked quite dapper and I'm told quite "sexy." Prince Belson showed that his political insight was matched by his taste. Very much a sharp dressed man. Agony called forth for any late additions and the good Prince Belson received another chip pushing him to victory.
Two were also tied for best dressed lady. Lady Ashe looked quite simply divine in her slinky champagne colored dress. I could well understand why she calls herself a goddess. Consul Nova was elegant and alluring in a corset and cape. Again, Agony called for any late additions but it seems these two lovely creatures made the heads of the court spin and a tie it remained.
Next was the much anticipated footrace. Many at the gathering chose to participate in one form or another. Doctor Gabriel Morietti summoned forth a spirit of the dead named Baron Samedi to participate. Yes, you heard it here first folks. Agony's parties are so awesome that even the dead rise to come and play.
Let it be known that the squirrels in Kitsap are fiercesome foes. It was a close race. At the last moment Vincenzo DelGado pulled ahead, literally clawing his way to victory after maiming a black bear that attacked him mid race. Only a step behind, Liam O'Dauherty finished and won the second token of Agony's Favor.
Rising Stars:
Taa'eese'he Poeso has been a quiet member of this domain, but I think that it is time that she is *recognized* for her efforts. Anyone that protects the masquerade has my attention.
Agony has hosted most of the gatherings in the last couple of months. She has spent a great deal of time and effort ensuring that the gatherings are masquerade safe and fun. I was told by a number important people at the party how much they *value* her contributions to the domain. Let it be known.
Feared:
Vincenzo DelGado ran a race and pimp slapped a bear. He PIMP SLAPPED a bear.
Acrimony continued on his streak. I think everyone knows why. He is a walking brown note; every time he passed by mortals and vampires soil themselves.
Liam O'Daherty won second place in both the best dressed gentleman and the race. And, he helped take down a raving Gangrel. His superiority is noted.
Loathed:
The domain behaved quite nicely.
And now I shall end this report with the following caveat. I am watching those that make the scene and are seen. Those that can't be bothered to make an appearance will find that their standing drops appropriately.
Sorrow
Imperial Harpy of the Nelson Imperium
The Lord of Laughter
The New Flesh
OOC:
Belson spends 1 status to bump Ashe to *Valued*
Sorrow spends 1 status to bump Taa'eese'he Poeso to *Recognized*.
Sorrow spends 1 status to bump Agony to *Valued*.
