Snippet #2730035

Seeing that he survived meeting with the Emperor, managing not to offend him it seemed, being respectful, without doing anything submissive, Akio breathed a sigh of relief internally. The goal of this ball was to gain influence, but not to diminish themselves. He had to employ a lot of showy magic. He didn't mind this, showing off could be fun too, but it only barely fell into the magic he was best at...magic that was older then most.

As the Emperor returned his greeting before going off to greet the others, Akio decided to move throughout the crowds. Daemala seemed to be missing, or maybe she was handling the large amount of press that arrived, and Zos was nowhere to be seen either. Akio was apparently left to run things, despite a discussion earlier where Daemala said she would handle the meet and greets.

Eventually, Akio came across someone...unusual. A man...no, Akio knew he was something else. Akio had been alive long enough to know that much. He approached the man with the cloak, his vision isolated. He maintained the calm smile he had shown this whole time, and it looked entirely natural just like before. Akio had over one thousand years to perfect this, after all. And he overheard some of the things said.

"You wished to speak to one of us?"

Meanwhile....

CR smiled at the two werewolves, before getting shocked after eating a large amount of ice cream.

"Ahh! I forgot to introduce myself didn't I? My name is Crimson Reaper! It's nice to meet you!"

And so Crimson introduced himself as the literal son of the very concept of death, and the very concept of life. The ultimate oddball of Eldritch creatures...of course, it all depended on if they heard enough about all that, but it was not hidden. In fact, it was very public knowledge, because when two Eldritch beings, above gods and deities, with no real concept of time or age, get married and have a son, even if they exist outside of reality, somehow people still tend to notice.

However CR was not as observant, which was why if they had run away in the middle of his greeting, he might fail to notice until a few seconds after.

Meanwhile, Ivera was chatting with Ondona, at least for now provided she had not run off when he looked away for a moment to see the Taiyou emperor come in.

"Huh. It certainly is an interesting gathering of people. I must say, this is actually kind of fun...its nice".

Ivera was getting caught up in the emotion of going to his first party, that even the normally calm and collected him got a bit emotional. After all, this was one of the first times in his whole life he could finally enjoy himself.

"Ah, anyways. Its nice to meet you. I don't suppose you have any recommendations yet for what to eat or drink?"
