Costume Party in Honor of Lex Luthor's Birthday [OPEN]

As stated on the invitation, Adrian is throwing a costume party to celebrate Lex's twenty-fifth birthday at the Luthor-Veidt Building in Brock Marsh. Everyone is welcome, whether they know Lex or not. There's plenty of food and free alcohol (mostly wine, fancy beer, and champagne), music and a space for dancing, and room to mingle and make new friends. Some simple and classy decorations, purple of course, have been put up on the first and second floors to create a festive atmosphere.

(A note to those who might try to take the opportunity to go snooping: security is insanely tight. The elevators will not go beyond the first and second floors without a special code, and there's an elevator operator who is very obviously there to make sure you don't try anything funny. The stairwells are likewise under guard and the private areas of the first floor are locked and under camera surveillance.)



[ooc: Please wait until a few threads are set up before tagging! Party time! Everyone is welcome!

Note: I've turned off notifs so if you need my attention in a specific spot, please PM or plurk me.]

Aimery's smile widened with obvious approval as the first woman held up the mask, "It looks lovely, M-"

The mask was rudely yanked away by some other woman who- Oh. Her. Just as kind in person, apparently. Aimery cleared his throat loudly and gave her a pointed look, "I believe Miss Decima was considering wearing that one, Miss."

God he hoped there wasn't an argument about it- it would be so nice if they could finish the evening without having to throw anyone out and he especially didn't want it to have to be Cindy. He kinda liked her.

Being perfectly capable of multitasking her assessment of Luthor and Veidt's employees (she's sure she'll get his name eventually) with shenanigans of the Cindy-kind, Ilde turns comically injured sad faerie eyes on her date for the evening.

No fight is forthcoming, though, presumably because if Ilde had a problem with Cindy being Cindy, she wouldn't have come with her: instead, Aimery gets another inquiry: "Is there another one like that?"

"I know she was..." Cindy replies, flipping the mask back and forth without even a look towards Aimery. "I'm just making sure my twin for the night is wearing nothing but the best. We don't do discount party store."

There'll be no argument about it. Not when Cindy is clearly ignoring Ilde's puppy dog stare and Ilde knows damn well what her date does in her free time. That, friends, is troll.

Ah. He should've known they were there together by their clothes- when he noticed that he'd suspected it would be another point of ire between them. Aimery managed not to audibly sigh with relief that a crisis was averted and turned his attention back to the table, scanning it for a similar mask. He picked one up and offered it to her: it was different about the eyes slightly, with a little more beading along the edges, but at first glance they were the same. The Luthor-Veidt house didn't do 'discount party store' either. "Will this do? And I'm Aimery le Gode, I was hired a little over a month ago. You did a wonderful job decorating this place, if you don't mind my saying so."

That's right, Cindy, he's just going to ignore you right back. Ignore except for glancing at to make sure you aren't damaging anything.

"Feel free to say so to anyone you like," Ilde says, accepting the second mask and trading it with Cindy because she still wants the one she picked out in the first place, all right. "I'm expecting to handle the other Luthor's home as well." The startlingly hirsute one, she presumably means; music teaching is probably always going to be her main source of income in Baedal, for the simple fact that she feels more comfortable charging exorbitantly for a supernaturally good musical education than she does for something she's essentially making up as she goes along, but as far as careers she fell into by accident go interior design isn't anything to shake a stick at.

"You two have met?"

"Yeah. Nice to see your nose isn't broken again." Cindy gives her own nose a tap with the edge of the mask before handing it back to Ilde in exchange for the other one. Honestly, she doesn't care for masks. She creates her own with smiles and smirks and other body language, but that's for nights not like this one. Tonight, she'll play along and have fun doing it.

But she doesn't have to change her personality to do it.

"Briefly, over the network," he felt the need to clarify that to Ilde before replying to Cindy, with utmost sincerity, "And thank you, it's healed up quite nicely. Your concern is touching."

Aimery looked back at Ilde, opening his mouth as if to say more before closing it again. It wasn't his place to warn her about Lex's potential territorial behavior or the Luthor family squabbles — and he knew Lex would be angry if he said anything at all about it— yet he would feel bad for her if she wound up between them, like him, through her good intentions. So he settled for something vague, innocent enough to be nothing, but maybe he could pretend to himself that it was sufficient foreshadowing: "I hope Lionel appreciates your work as much as we have here."

Ilde's expression is briefly curious - she's not the most expressive person in the world when she's sober, but her little headtilt is fleetingly reminiscent of a cat that's just spotted a dangling string - but Aimery can rest easy that his warning would be unnecessary. Or he would be able to, if they were actually going to have that conversation, but as it is, they'll just have to live with keeping their respective observations to themselves.

"He will," she says, placidly self-confident. "Thank you. And thank you for the masks- I think we're going to go and get a drink."

"You're quite welcome, Miss Decima, and it was a pleasure meeting you both in person," Aimery bowed his head slightly to the both of them, making sure to stay polite and include Cindy. Being abrasive didn't make her not a lady. "There're servers out with drinks in the lobby, but there are refreshments on the second floor as well. Please enjoy the party, and do let me know if there's anything you need."
