[OPEN] MURDER ON THE DANCEFLOOR

[baisant]

The Duke of Central London's Samhain festivities are open upon invitation only. Those who are fortunate enough to have received one, either from the Duke himself or from one of his guests, are privy to quite the affair. Raymond has obviously been planning this for some time now, and the bar is fully stocked, the room fully decorated for the festivities. Collected from the fae hunt that their leader had encouraged, fae blood flows freely, available freshly served in punch bowls or straight from the source itself, in the form of kidnapped fae off of the streets. The vampires who partake are drunk with it and high on the euphoria that it offers, a drug unlike any other their kind can partake in.

As promised by Raymond himself, it is a rave the likes that London has never seen before. And it's about to get a lot more memorable still...

[OPEN] THE LEADUP

[baisant]

Jean-Claude has invited along those that he can into the party itself, although those he cannot bring in personally he has arranged to watch the doors. The instructions are simple. Infiltrate the rave itself. Separate yourselves out among Raymond's vampires themselves. Those that are outside, watch the doors. Keep calm, and keep cautious. Wait for his cue. You will know it when you see it. When the time comes, prepare yourselves to fight. Vampire against vampire if it comes to that. And in the meanwhile? Enjoy yourselves! It's a rave after all. Just avoid the fae blood or you will be sorry.

Jean-Claude himself can be found among the fray, dancing here and there with another vampire in attendance on the floor, sometimes catching a drink at the bar. He has left a 'gift' to prepare itself in the back room, and up until the moment that it is time to present that gift to Raymond, he might as well enjoy himself with the rest of them.

[CLOSED TO EAMES & RAYMOND] THE SHOWDOWN

The clocks are nearing up on midnight, and Jean-Claude knows that it is his call to action. He has made sure that all of his preparations are in place, and there is no time like the present. So it is with great ceremony that he makes his way up onto the stage at the front of the room and spreads his hands wide to call attention from the crowd. The music lowers itself softly, in observance of the moment, and Jean-Claude nods to the DJ in thanks.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the nest and the night," Jean-Claude addresses the room. "Your attention, if I may. Tonight is a very special evening. And it calls for a very special celebration." He gestures across the room to Raymond. "I have brought a present for you, mon ami. A present for the nest as a whole, perhaps you could say."

[OPEN] THE AFTERMATH

[baisant]

Once the deed is done, the room erupts in chaos, although they have all seen, they all know. The leader of the vampires is dead. There is a new leader in charge, and he has taken the city for his own. While Jean-Claude is normally a peaceable vampire, he has made his point quite clear. He will not suffer those who have an issue with the change in regime to live. If they cannot accept him as their new leader, then he cannot allow them to remain in the city. They can try and escape, but they will be found. They will be caught. They will be brought to justice. He will make certain of it.

The vampires in the dance hall have their orders. As do the allies positioned outside of the doors. No one is to escape. No traitor is to be trusted. Jean-Claude has few rules, few demands, but these are his orders and they will be obeyed.
