[ P ] Rehearsal

T

here was never a dull moment to be had at The Howling Moon, even during daylight hours when the business was slower. There were patrons that would come in and out for a drink here or there, but otherwise the hustle and bustle was typically seen after dark. Valerian always took this time to rehearse his latest show number, to everyone's absolute delight of course. There needed to be decor for this one, however, and he had conned the bartender into assisting him with hanging florals upon the walls in different areas. “Almost there...no up a bit...actually lower...to the right...aaand..."

“Is this good?"

“Uhm...actually, no, I liked it better up higher."

“Dammit, Valerian!"

“Carmichael, I will hear no more of your griping! We never have ladies night and it must be perfect!"

Despite the grumbling, his assistant kept at his work and when they were finished, he grinned. “See? Look at your gorgeous work!" Even if his lovely coworker did not seem too impressed with any of this, he patted him on the shoulder and leaned up to whisper something in his ear. The larger man became flustered and stomped away leaving the silver vixen snickering as he left his side. He looked back over his stage area and sighed, knowing there was still so much he needed to plan for this special event.

Velaris was still up north, and had been for a while. Surely her daddy dearest would finally take a hint and leave her out of his marriage plans. She could care less if she ever went back to that lavish prison. She much preferred it out here, in the mud and rain. Meeting interesting people and going to parties full of debauchery and fun. She had just made it to Inverness the night prior and after some good sleep in a rented room that she paid for with daddy’s money, it was time to find some fun.

Little legs carried her curvy earthen body through the crowds of people. Eyes flickering around briefly for any familiar faces or signs of great night life. And then she spotted something interesting. “The Howling Moon” it read. She had heard of it a few times, through the grapevine that was party talk. But she didn’t know much about it or rather… she couldn’t remember anything.

A sly smirk slowly crept onto her face as she began to weave through the traffic of bodies until she found herself standing at the entrance of the howling moon. Without a second thought she made her way inside. The first thing that caught her attention was the silvery man explaining something about the other man’s gorgeous work. She watched their interaction quietly and when the other man left blushing she boldly moved towards the small - yet bigger than herself man.

”So hard to find great help these days” she tsked playfully. And that was all true according to the long hours her father spent bitching about it. But she cared not about that. Instead she looked towards the man she was standing by. ”I take it, you’re the special, interior decoration of this fine establishment.” her tone was playful as she looked around at all the decorations that hung from the walls.

”It looks….Simply Enticing” she practically purred.

A

voice announced a woman's presence and he turned around, expecting to have to look up to address her. When his eyes only found open air, he blinked in surprise and lowered his gaze to find a woman who was surprisingly more petite than even he. He drank in her features of a predominantly earthen and arctic coat with touched of darker freckles that decorated her socks and a part of her face. “O-oh, well, good tidings my lady!"

He lowered himself into a deep bow and when he arose again he gave a smile and a shrug. “Don't mind Carmichael. Man can complain a good deal, but he has a heart of gold. He did help me put all of this together, despite his bitching and moaning." Val's lips pulled into a wider grin as he leaned towards her snickering. “It's quite alright, seeing as how he'll be doing another kind of groaning for me later...it's a win-win."

Val's attention was directed back to the decor that she found aesthetically pleasing enough to spare a compliment. He accepted it graciously, sparkling ocean eyes drifting back to her. “I'm glad to hear you say so! It is, after all, it is for a Ladies Night event. If you find it enticing, I'd love to imagine what other thoughts it might provoke from other female patrons!"

She bowed in her most formal bow. One that marked her as a lady, a lesson her parents and instructors had drilled into the very core fibers of her body. A lesson she simply couldn’t forget no matter what she did. ”Good Tidings to you as well” she offered with a warm smile. It was odd to be so.. so ladylike when it was everything she was running from. It left a bitter taste in her mouth but she swallowed it down.

She laughed at his words. It must be true. From the complaints she’d overheard, short they were. The room was wonderfully decorated. So Carmichael had certainly done his job regardless of his verbal disdain for the work. She laughed yet again. Her Eyes met with his own beautiful gaze. ”indeed then, a win win for yourself” her eyes sparkled with amusement. She couldn’t put her paw on it yet but she rather liked this man already. He had potential to be a great friend it would seem.

”well if they don’t find it nearly as enchanting as I do, then they must simply be blind. Of that I am certain. So tell me.. what does a ladies night event entail?” her eyes flickered around the establishment. She’d never been to a ladies night event. And her interest was certainly intrigued now.

“H

a!" A burst of laughter escaped him and he flashed a wide toothy grin at her comment. “More of a win for him, if you ask me." He turned and blew a kiss in the direction of the tavern stud behind the bar and gave a playful wiggle of his hips. Even at a distance he could see the blush upon the grumpy-looking face of the man who ducked back into the kitchen even further to escape the taunts of the Silver Stallion.

Having had his fun, Valerian turned back to the petite female, now giving her his undivided attention. “Ah, yes! Ladies Night! Another brilliant inquiry!" He straightened up then and cleared his throat in preparation for somewhat of a sales pitch. “Ladies Night at The Howling Moon Tavern! A never before seen event here! Several weeks prior we will be inviting whole host of male entertainers and escorts to audition or interviewed for a position amongst our beloved staff here."

He gave a subtle nod over to an area nearest the bar where a group of finely dressed women held their own lovely chat. “As you can see, most of our staff consist of females and we hope to promote additions to our team to add variety as we lead up to an evening of discounted drinks and rates of all kinds for the women of the realm to enjoy.” Val leaned in towards her, donning a dashing smile as his presentation continued, But wait, there's more!" He waved a paw towards his decoration. “There will be shows, there will be games, and there will be prizes to top it all off! Sounds like a mighty fine way to spend an evening! What do you think?"
