Adieu [Lestat&Open]

[Dominique Du Croix]

The sun had gone down a while ago, but the night was still young. Hell, the night was always young. The Two Sister's cafe was a lovely hangout for vampires, and perhaps the occasional tourist who didn't seem the least be freaked out by the strangest people who seemed to linger after dark. While the mortals spent their days listening to hyped up rock music with bad synth back-ups, some vampires spent their nights listening to the smooth sounds of Jazz. Jazz was the music of New Orleans, anyhow.

The lights were dim in the cafe, and Dominique's skin tingled with that familiar feel of vampire life. It was everywhere around her, that faint shimmer. Something like the weakest setting on a tazer placed at the bottom of the spine -- But a little more oomph. However, Domii was used to the feeling, and very little showed on her face as she cooed softly into the microphone, every word aching with the pain in the song. "Been a fool, been a clown. Lost my way from up and down. And I know, yes I know... And I see it in your eyes. That you really weren't surprised at me at all, not at all." She paused, to flick open those blue eyes that swirled with the faintest purples and greens. A quick scan of the crowd wouldn't throw her off, however. "And I know by your smile it's yooou." With the last words of that verse, she offered a warm, but sensual smile all at once.

[Lestat De Lioncourt]

The tall, slender body of Lestat De Lioncourt, slipped through the doors of the cafe. He initially wasn't going to stop by, but he found himself particularly lonely this evening, and there wasn't a better place to find his own kind, as strange as that seemed. 'Jazz... is that what everyone is in the mood for tonight?' He thought, looking around. 'Then that's what I feel like too.'

Once he took a seat, Lestat could pick out the handsome faces of his own kind from the dull, tired-looking faces of the night-going humans. He ordered a drink, not planning on actually drinking it, and closed his eyes. Sensitive ears picked up on sound more easily now; the rustling of dressy clothing against the chairs, the small clanking of glasses, but more interesting to Lestat, the beautiful sound of one woman's voice.

Lestat leaned back, soaking up the sound and letting it weave through his body like precious blood. He could feel her smiling now, it was warm against his cheek. He peaked open one of his eyes, to steal a glance at the woman. She was beauty upon beauty; a lovely voice, a warm smile, and a gorgeous face. He moved, leaving his untouched beverage behind, closer to her, taking the last free seat close to the stage.

“My love for you burns deep inside me, so strong.” She sang, having reached the last verse after nearly six minutes of song. With her eyes closed she was lost within the music and the whispers of the crowd -- Something about her collar bones? Her pallor? Domii opened her eyes slowly, dark lashes parting for oceanic blue orbs to peek out at the crowd. Her eyes passed over nearly everyone of them without much interest until they fell upon someone… Somewhat famous. “Embers of times we had, and now here I stand lost in a memory…” Interesting. She noticed him looking at her and winked, then extended her hand to the crowd, much like offering herself for the taking as she leaned her head back and sang out the last line, “I see your face and smile.”

With that, she bowed her head, scooping red hair from her face as she parted the stage. Instead of moving backstage she stepped off a few steps down into the club. Her eyes once again made a quick, nonchalant sweep of the crowd. She had a little mission in her head now, and she made sure to brush past a certain Blonde-haired vampire as she swept through the crowd, hands in the back pockets of her jeans. "Follow," she said, without ever moving her lips. Ah, it was going to be an interesting night should the ‘young uprise’ choose to take her silent offer. ‘Young’, it was fun to think such a thing. In all truth, he was much older than she -- At least by a hundred years. She could feel it by his presence, another lovely gift given with the Dark Trick.
