Open for @exitiumstarters/ Juri Waite.

Now Juri wasn't the type to get exhausted easily. But the bartending was getting to him. Not because he thought it was beneath him, but because bartending while deaf was probably equal to juggling while blind, it's not impossible but it's a hard task. Juri did manage it though. As he turned around he placed the sticky notes to the newest customer.

"Just write what you would like to order and we'll see what we can do. ^^ Heads up we are out of bourbon for the next hour or so. "

after making a few rounds, her plans to be a wallflower for the rest night was going quite well. standing back and soaking in everyone and everything until it was time to silently make her exit. there were two people she had yet to see, her lovely daughters-- she could not wait to see what beautiful ensemble they'd dressed themselves in; she told herself once she spent some time with them and with rebekah she'd call the night be a success. "oh, yes please." the vampire gushed in a soft sing song voice to the waiter, her eyes scanning the tray of assorted confectionery, dipping a finger in one of the frosted items to get a taste.

Being used against his will for the last year angered him in a way he couldn't comprehend. He was still processing the emotions after the compulsion was lifted, but having to face the one who did it, who bled him dry of vervain in the basement of this building, was unnerving.

It was the same people who once told him they felt caged by the OEA... but they, in return, had been caging him. Maybe he understood their perspective now, but... now he wanted to strike back. With every nerve in his body, he had to prevent himself from striking first. He had half a mind to spike the guests' drinks with vervain or wolfsbane, but he knew he had to save face—play along with Klaus's orders. Refusing would give suspicions he couldn't afford.

He hadn't picked a side back then, but now his choice was as clear as ever, and despite appearances, it was not Klaus to whom he remained loyal.

TJ approached the guests with a forced smile. "Would you care for a refreshment?" he offered.

"i will be going in a moment." maybe she was throwing her toys out of the pram. "because i was told there would be food and by food i thought they meant peanuts and yet there is none to be seen." and she had already gone through the packet she had brought herself. "none of this fancy stuff looks nice.. looks like a fairy threw up. on the serving plates."

✧.*― peyton morgrave / open event starter /@exitiumstarters

she had sneaked away from the main party to find some peace and quiet for just a moment. it was odd to think that just a year ago she had felt so unfamiliar with the compound when she would visit it or drop charlee off. it was even more odd to think just a year ago she had been leaving in a trailer and now she lived in this compound. someone entering the room she had been using as her hiding spot gained her attention, a brow raising in jest at them. "you really shouldn't be in here, you know--" peyton said it, but she could care less about where the guest roamed as long as they didn't find the room with the kids in it.

A clink of a glass, the host and hostess stand before their guests, all gathered for the long awaited announcements.

“Though it may not feel like it, given our shared history, this is a day of celebration,” Laine began, a glance toward Klaus. His family may have done a poor job of selling their united front, but she was a consummate professional. “Our goal is the same. To rid this world of evil, for our children to have peace in the next generation and beyond. The things we do now will impact not just New Orleans but the world, not just today but all future tomorrows. Klaus and I have worked tirelessly to iron out our differences, to hear the voices of humanity and of the supernatural population. I think you will be pleased with what we are announcing today.” Pulling out her list, she handed her glass off to her partner. “Effective today, we will be instating some laws to be enforced by the OEA for the protection of all beings:

All malevolent supernatural activity must be reported to the OEA. All such reports will be investigated thoroughly to ensure their accuracy. False reports will be dealt with severely.

Your OEA-issued IDs are required to be on your person at all times and be scanned at the entry to all businesses.

Business owners are empowered within the systems we’ve installed to report malevolent activity or similar trouble caused within their establishment directly to the Department of Malevolent Enforcement.

A curfew is now in place between 11pm - 5am for supernatural beings, for the safety of all citizens while we root out the malevolent from the good. Exceptions are to be granted if passes are obtained; you must arrange passes with the OEA beforehand. Gatherings of 5 or more are prohibited without an OEA representative.

Please contact the OEA to make arrangements for any events, meetings, etc.

"For your assistance in our initiative to rid our city of evil, there will be systems in place to reward the help offered. As an example, if you report a malevolent threat, you might find yourself rewarded with an extra pass or two to enjoy yourself out past curfew. These laws will be made public after tonight,” she stated, putting her paper away. “And one more announcement before I hand it off to my liason. As proof of our good will, we are letting you in on an OEA secret. We have spent the last year exploring the possibility of replicating the cure for vampirism, obtaining the Salvatore blood required for this initiative. We are working with the best scientific minds in the world on this project. In the meantime, we’ve also developed an alternative, synthetic blood source. This will soon be available for the masses.” With a smile that conveyed a warmth she did not truly possess, she accepted her glass back from Klaus. “And now, our liason has some even more exciting news. Mr. Mikaelson, the floor is yours…”

Klaus’ facade truly was impenetrable and as he stood beside Laine exchanging pleasantries, everything about their union was believable. He hadn’t forgotten his own butchery at the gala and he was certain that the OEA hadn’t either— something that he hoped that they continued to keep in mind. 

Taking the floor as encouraged, Klaus addressed their guests with complete confidence.

“First I must take this opportunity to extend my gratitude, your cooperation in joining us on this celebratory evening is most appreciated and we welcome you, as together we share our vision. With your compliance and willingness for change we are positive that our vision for our city will undoubtedly be of great success. In order for our union to truly have effect, then communication is of the utmost importance and as already stated by Ms. Moore, our intention is to rid the city of evil; ensuring for a safer future for all moving forward. You are the voices of our city and I intend to ensure that each and every one is heard. Together, we will be exercising a council, primarily of supernatural beings led by a representative that has been chosen to stand for their faction. Our leaders are as follows:

Banshees: Billie Mikaelson, Phoebe Garin

Dragons: Zeraphine Mondragon, Andreas Mondragon

Dryads: Hana Bang

Fairies: Skyla Fairlight, Blossom Bellarose

Hybrids: Briggs Mikaelson

OEA Rep: Dex Vane

Vampires: Artemis Mikaelson, Rebekah Mikaelson

Werewolves: Jackson & Hayley Kenner representing the Crescents, Keelin Malraux for the non-Crescent wolves

Witches: Bonnie Bennett, Avery Reynolds

“We ask that you to trust in our desire to succeed, to shape our futures together and to embrace the change that is destined to follow. The city is ours— so please, join us as we raise a glass and toast to change” lifting his glass, his steel hues cast a glance over the guests, before stating, “to our future.”

[shadcwcursed]

The year had been theirs to share, a few vacations, seasons worth of planning, and a lot of fun. She knew his therapy work hadn't come to an end, but she wasn't just around for the good bits. She was around for the real bits too. Seeing their friends again tonight had been really good, and though she talked to Billie regularly, she missed her like crazy when they weren't together. She also knew what being here tonight would mean for her, for all of them.

"I'd say more than an entire year's salary," Phee quipped, tapping her glass against his. She could see the tension in his body, much like Billie's. The gala, the betrayal from Klaus, it was still ever present.

Lowering her voice because it was no one's business but she wanted him free to express if he was feeling anxious, she asked softly, "how are you handling things?"

@exitiumstarters ✦ asher simmons

Everything about the facade that had been orchestrated by the OEA and now by the Mikaelson's felt false. From the moment he'd stepped into the hall of the compound, the atmosphere had been palpable, as if everybody in attendance was just waiting for the other shoe to drop. And whilst he knew that his father wouldn’t be amongst those attending; far too intelligent to risk it, it didn’t stop the unpleasant thoughts of 'what if' from plaguing Asher's subconscious.

The entire evening was going to be testing out those new skills he'd acquired in therapy, but he wasn’t going to allow for his anxiety – nor his obsession with locating his father rule him. Instead, he knew that he had to remain alert.

Despite the intention to remain alert, he figured that one glass of champagne wouldn't hurt and as he took a sip, he kicked himself for what he was about to say, "shit, this tastes more expensive than an entire months salary."

blossom bellerose ;; open to all ;; @exitiumstarters

"i think flowers would've made this place look a lot nicer." blossom remarked as she turned to the person next to her. it would make the place feel a little more welcoming. "but i mean maybe this was the vibe they wanted.. but a few carnations would've been nice."

luna mikaelson ;; open for all ;; @exitiumstarters

she only stepped into the compound on few occasions and those occasions were just quick visit's to check on her mother and sister. klaus decision making luna knew what she had to do , get up and leave. to protect her son as best as she could. "you think an hour is good enough?" she questioned , turning to the other. the stupid mask not really helping her know who was next to her. "like a quick show of your mask and leave?" because i don't fancy being caught in whatever shitstorm will happen and neither do i want marlo around it."

[morsobitus]

henrik mikaelson ;; open to all ;; @exitiumstarters

"look , if you have a complaint about this." hands held out, pointing to the whole event for a moment. "i am not the person to go to , scream at klaus or put it in a suggestion box. i am merely a guest just like you."

[shadcwcursed]

"Happy to help," she retorted, before looking rather aghast at his assumption. "I'm not disappointed." This might have been the strangest conversation she'd had this evening, was she supposed to be let down by that statement? "Does she know she's on your mind?"

"I'll keep that in mind for later," he said before raising a brow at her next question. "Not interested, already got one in mind," he was quick to reply, happy to admit his feelings for Saph with everyone but her, which weirded him out but he found himself nervous when he thought about telling her. It was obvious he was mad about her, so why couldn't he just come out and say it?

isla kenner ;; open for all ;; @exitiumstarters

"well , there wasn't really a choice about being here." isla remarked. she had missed the gala and so much happened that night. she knew there was no chance that she was going to miss this. she needed to be there for her family , unlike last time. a small sense of guilt still plagued her about being away travelling then. "and i'm sure everyone is feeling the same.. would've preffered this in a better location." and by that she meant a location she would know all the entrances and exits for incase things turned sour.

[morsobitus]

georgie kenner ;; open for all ;; @exitiumstarters

"i really don't like it." a small wrinkle of her nose as she took a sip of the glass of champagne she felt forced to take. god , where was the beer. hadn't they realised that wolves were coming and she was sure 90% of them preffered beer over this shit. "it honestly tastes like cat piss.. mixed with bleach."

✧ ━ event 004 : better the devils you know ━ ✧

Word has spread throughout the city like wildfire as the hand crafted invites find themselves into the houses of our guests. Tonight, you will all find yourselves cordially invited to attend our masquerade ball, where of course there will be a prize for the best dressed.

It is no secret to anybody in New Orleans, that no one quite hosts a masquerade ball like the Mikaelsons and all citizens will find themselves invited to the compound for the evening. Once our guests arrive, they will find that the celebrations of new beginnings will already be in full swing, with the the compound decorated beautifully, with no expense spared.

Once all of our guests are situated inside, Delainey Moore and Klaus Mikaelson will take to the stage; sharing with the city their vision moving forward. The entire city is to be involved and all sides are now encouraged to work together, towards a greater future. At the height of the festivities, plans for a council will then be announced by Klaus Mikaelson and it will be revealed who is to lead and represent each faction. The evening itself is for one of hope and unity and questions regarding the allegiance formed between the OEA and the Mikaelsons, are asked to be postponed until after the festivities are over.

For now, welcome back to our vibrant city and we're excited for you to embark on this brand new chapter with us. We just hope that the residents of New Orleans can all feel the same.

Location: THE MIKAELSON COMPOUND Date: 06/2035 Time: 19:00 HOURS
