They rule the night

[Seer]

<< Night time in L.A. hardly means sleepy time.>>

<< The luxury limo sent to Melrose Place by Sally Spectra to pick up Morgan, Ava, Delilah, Haleigh, Nicolas & Zach pulls up to club known as After-Dark.>>

<< stepping out one by one, the group beholds the sight of paparazzi, on-lookers, wannabes & those lined up for as far as the eye can see hoping to get in. flashbulbs, screams & general chatter increase as people catch sight of Morgan who exits the limo first.>>

<< The rest of the Six follow each of them regarding the crowd & paparazzi in his/her own way. They all make their way down the BLOOD red carpet reaching the double doors were two LARGE, well built, well dressed, handsome but eerie looking door stewards stood guard.>>

<< one breaks his silent stance & takes an IPAD>>

Miss Victoria. Miss Cassadine. Miss. Trelevan. Miss Davidoff. Mr. King. Mr. Armani.
<< he speaks with a dark, haunting tone.>>

VIP guests of Miss Price & Ms. Spectra.

Go right in ladies & gentlemen. Have a good time here at….After-Dark.

<< for appearance sake, Nicolas steps forward to escort Morgan & Ava in on either arm while Zach does the same for Delilah & Haleigh.>>

<< through the doors they go, leaving the darkness outside for an even darker, alluring scene inside. The very air seems charged with a glamor & hedonistic feel.>>

<< as their eyes adjust to an impossibly DARKER atmosphere, they are greeted with After-Dark. The hottest ticket in town @ night.>>

<< After Dark is unlike any other club currently open in LA.>>

<< As the group take their first steps in…it’s as though they’ve totally left L.A. and into the Red Light District of Amsterdam. Deeper in the scene, The entire back wall is a floor to ceiling window box back-lit in red. Beautiful Male and female dancers, each w/ the same eerie glowing eyes that the door stewards had, fill the inside of the window box dressed in lingerie & sexy gear, all dancing sexy and some making out provocatively. It’s clear that the lines of gender & orientation are blurred to the point of meaning nothing here. Blaze…FIREBIRD would be FURIOUS for missing this. >>

<< A rush of bewitching air causes the group to look up. From above, Hanging from the ceiling of the club are 5 large bird cages with woman dressed in lingerie that would make Victoria’s Secret & Frederick’s of Hollywood blush, dancing.>>

<< The stage is elevated and placed in front of the window box full of dancers--the DJ booth is off to the side & is manned by an awesome duo of the hot & handsome DJ Tone & sexy, alluring female DJ Rap>>

<< The bar is very large and stocked with only the highest priced bottles & most exotic…even DEADLY drinks, concoctions & potions. There might even be a bottle or two of HEMLOCK present when one considers the impressive selection displayed.>>

<< Behind the bar is a door that leads to Ella's office and the storage rooms of the club. The dance floor is very large and always picturesque with the ultimate in lights/lasers/hologram & other cutting visual technology to stimulate the eyes & mind & enhance the overall experience .
<< The club atmosphere as a whole is seductive and dark; waitresses and waiters all dressed in lingerie & provocative appearal serving drinks, much like a strip club or gentleman's club except very high end- rivaling the allure of the Hellfire club during a blackout party. All of the staff are beautiful & posess the same dark, alluring yet eerie quality that the door stewards & house dancers have.>>

<< A glowing spiral metal stair case off to the side of the bar leads to an upstairs VIP room with a balcony view of the entire club. The VIP room has it's own bar and waiter/waitresses & nothing is off limits, no request impossible to grant those who can AFFORD the VIP suite.>>

<< TONIGHT the entire suite has been taken over by SALLY SPECTRA who although baseline human, is BOLD & has more than enough chutzpah to make some super’s blush & shrink. Her presence here only serves to seal the deal on After-Dark being THE SPOT not just in LA but the WEST COAST. It even seems to put XS…the club owned by Morgan’s original sister Blaze/Foxfire back in New York to shame.>>

<< But that doesn’t matter now. All that matters now is that the Six remember one thing…”when in rome…”>>

<< tonight Morgan & Sally Spectra forge a partnership that will turn the fashion world on its ear. The Six get a deep taste of Ella Price’s realm as well as the queen of the night herself, who also happens to be their newest neighbor in Melrose Place & though they don’t know yet, soon she will become a valuable & NECESSARY ALLY.>>

<< if you can still see & haven’t lost your way in this place beyond & AFTER-DARK, keep watching.>>

 

[Spellbinder]

After-Dark

<< from the hot crowd outside on the [curiously] BLOOD red carpet, to the alluring yet slightly unsettling COOL DARKNESS inside. They were now inside the truly impressive place known as After-Dark>>

<< having stepped out for the evening looking dark & glamorous herself in an edgy black mini dress & spiked, peep toe heels, w/ her hair down & looking rather "FarrahFawcett"-esque, & her make-up down w/ a sultry smokey effect, Morgan definately dressed appropriate for the venue they were now in.>>

Wow.

<< she said softly as she walked in on Nicolas' left arm, while Ava was on his right.>>

Ella Price...you are no slouch by ANY means.

<< she said, impressed w/ what she saw.>>

<< the bass driven music propelled those glamorous, rich, powerfull or important enough to be inside the club & as Morgan's violet eyes adjusted to the mysteriously DARKER setting, she lookd around.>>

I dont see Ella yet but Sally Spectra said to join her in the VIP suite which looks like it'd be up over there!

<< nodding to the glowing metal siral stair case across the way.>>

Shall we go?

<< she said looking over at Nicolas & Ava & then over to Zach, Haleigh & Delilah.>>

<< they made their way, not walking TOO quickly so as to casually survey their surroundings & take it all in.>>

<< the place was dark, mysterious, sultry, pulsing with glamor & hedonistic energy. the people were beautiful but some of the men & women looked rather...cold & their eyes...they glowed! similar to Haleigh's in pitch black situations. was it contacts or some other special effect? It had been so long since Morgan had seen eyes like THESE that she FORGOT who they REALLY belonged to. >>


<< the beats of the music being spun by the DJ duo touched them all & as they moved through the club together, finally reaching the spiral stair case. ascending these stairs was not for someone who was a novice walking high heels.>>

<< finally reaching the top & making their way through a short passage, they were now entering the large luxurious VIP suite which had been secured for the entire evening by fashion goddess Sally Spectra.>>

Sally!

<< Morgan said with a wide smile as she came forward to greet her.>>

Thank you for the limo dahling!

<< the hug & exchange air kisses.>>

 

[Sally Spectra]

After Dark VIP Suite

Sally Spectra. Creator & Founder of the fashion house Spectra Couture. Fashion goddess & critic. bold & determined...& very VERY rich. She's a glamorous modern day Mae West & she lives & loves w/ a voracious appetite. She's known for her moxy & her chutzpah as well as her expertise & clout in the world of fashion & tonight...she's doing what she does best, play HARD.

this evening, the fashion mogul, draped in a stunning red dress befitting her, had taken over the VIP suite of After-Dark. Much to Ella Price's delight. Ella had in fact become one of Sally's VIP clients, enjoying preferred selection of dresses from ever collection for any season released by Spectra Couture before the general public or even high end buyers & some 2nd string celebrities could gain access. So Sally was returning the favor, ensuring that After-Dark would become WHITE HOT in its q-rating & surpass all other spots in town for buzz on the L.A. night scene.

But more than just that, what the red head spit fire ALSO wanted was to seal the deal w/ Morgan Victoria as they planned to forge a partnership that would not only revive & see Morgan's dream reinvent her career come true but have a truly EPIC impact on the fashion industry including Claudia Zacchara, who w/ Affinity Models, was to the west coast what Morgan had been on the East Coast w/ Illustra.

Who said you couldnt have a little business done in the midst of wanton debauchery??? Sally could do it all & have it all!

FINALLY Morgan & her boys & girls arrived.

Morgan DAHLING!

Sally's sultry & smooth voice was distinct & commanded attention.

Sally!

<< Morgan said with a wide smile as she came forward to greet her.>>

Thank you for the limo dahling!

<< the hug & exchange air kisses.>>

Think NOTHING of it. What's a little limo between friends?

The fashion mogul stands, looking among Morgan's friends, recognizing Nicolas & Ava from previous encounters & associations.

Well WELLLL. I see you've kept Nicolas around after all!

Leaning over to Morgan & faux whispering

Good job. After all, when a man looks like this, it's hard to stay mad at him forever!

Stop standing there looking silly & gimme some sugar, Chocolate kiss!

Sally embraces Nicolas, lifting one leg up as she boldly kisses him on the mouth.

You've still got it! Good for you! Glad you straightend your act up! Slumming it with that two-bit mop head Claudia was definately not a good look for you sweetheart.

Ava, honey you're slipping. Claudia & you in the same town & she's STILL ALIVE? Dont tell me hanging around with Morgan has made you go SOFT?

A joke, of course, as Sally winked at the Cassadine & gave her a friendly hug & an air kiss. Moving on to Delilah, Haleigh & Zach who all looked varying degrees of curious & pensive. Sally smiled at at first then looked a bit serious at each of them, before turning & signalling several room staff to attend them.

Honey, these people are dry & don't know what they're doing!

she gestured toward Haleigh, Delilah & Zach as she shook her head

Hurry up & get them something to drink before they all turn to stone!

Oh but no alcohol for Delilah...health reasons.

Sally looks at Delilah with a "tough luck kid" expression and shrugs.

You heard the lady. Keep it virgin for the pretty little thing here.

Now then....take the load off! But you, Nicolas my dear boy, you sit next to me! I like a bit of muscle!

Not that Sally didnt have two other well toned, scantily clad men attending her personally in the suite, one of whom had been fanning her as the group arrived. But that was how the fashion goddess liked it.

As the all seated themselves in the main room of the suite & made themselves comfortable...

So glad you could come! isnt this place fantastic? This is what i LIKE!

I havent seen our pretty but tiny little hostess, Ella Price just yet though. I swear she must eat bean sprouts for breakfast lunch & dinner...there's not THAT MUCH *snapping her fingers* to her!

For those among them not personally acquainted with Sally, they might have been taken aback by her forward, bold & unabashed presentation but it was clear the woman was confident, vibrant & had style. She ALSO knew more than a little bit about Morgan & her friends. She was well connected. It reminded them of another woman who was more than "only human" ....Alycia Barnett.

Sally meant no harm though. Morgan, Nicolas & Ava knew that.

 

[Persephone]

Living in LA, the six had been to their fair share of events at clubs. Some better than others, but usually all the same. However the buzz that was filtering around After Dark instantly intrigued Ava, even before their new tenant and owner of the club invited them all for a visit.

Arriving via limo, Ava stepped out wearing a sexy Marc Jacobs dress, hot off the runway. With her long ebony hair pulled back into a sleek pony tail, her eyes were smoked out in black liner giving a sexy cat eye effect and pulling the whole look together.

Walking into the club, it was definitely not what the goddess was expecting--ESPECIALLY after the way Morgan described Ella. The entire club was backlit in red with men and woman scandalously dressed and making out. The bodies of the dancers rhythmically stayed to the sexy beat of the base that pumped throughout the large space. The club itself was huge considering how small it looked from the outside.

Morgan: "Wow."

"Yeah....doesn't exactly fit the Daisy Duke southern belle you told us about, Morgan."

Ella's club was for sure the hottest club Ava had been to in a LONG time--GLOBALLY. And to think a 20 something had the means and ability to put it together was damn impressive.

"Well, I like this girl already. Let's just hope she doesn't turn out to be a psychopath with a vendetta against one of us."

Ava state casually, knowing the possibility was quite high. Following Morgan up the spiral staircase to the VIP lounge, that was where they finally met with Sally Spectra. The woman was straight forward and didn't hold her tongue. Instantly Ava smirked. She was either the type of person you found amusing, or the type of person you absolutely hated.

Sally: "Ava, honey you're slipping. Claudia & you in the same town & she's STILL ALIVE? Dont tell me hanging around with Morgan has made you go SOFT?"

"I'm biding my time."

She said with a humorous smile.

Taking a seat on one of the red leather sofa's, a gorgeous Latino male waiter dressed in nothing more than leather briefs asked for Ava's drink order.

"Vodka and Cranberry."

He nodded and went over to Morgan and Sally to gather their drink order too. Leaning over toward Haleigh.

"I could get used to this."

She said with a coy smile.

 

[Rampage]

The ladies were SMOKIN HOT tonight and Nicolas was ready to have some fun. They pulled up to the venue and he emerged with his group.


The club was awesome but just a bit...OFF. The red carpet was not so much red as crimson, and the bouncers were quite interesting to say the least. He decided that it would be rude to challenge them based on what he detected and so he escorted a sexy blonde and brunette inside.

The club was dark...very dark. So dark that he was auto-pinging with his TK the way a bat would search a cavern. The atmosphere was hypersexed, with forms writhing all over the place. It was obvious that there was a Bacchanalian influence to the proceedings and he was impressed. He made his way with the others to see...

SALLY SPECTRA

A redheaded super diva who was over-the-top, who lusted for Nicolas openly, and who was also very good to him when he first modeled.

Good job. After all, when a man looks like this, it's hard to stay mad at him forever!

Stop standing there looking silly & gimme some sugar, Chocolate kiss!

Sally embraces Nicolas, lifting one leg up as she boldly kisses him on the mouth.

You've still got it! Good for you! Glad you straightend your act up! Slumming it with that two-bit mop head Claudia was definately not a good look for you sweetheart.

Nicolas laughed heartily at the scene...Sally was the same as ever.

I take it you have a better way for me to occupy my time?

Nicolas joked, flirting right back at the older woman.

It is good to see you again.

Sally made her way around the group, trying to loosen up Haleigh, Dee and Zach. She called for attendants as she motioned to their seats.

Now then....take the load off! But you, Nicolas my dear boy, you sit next to me! I like a bit of muscle!

He sat by her, still laughing as they settled in. Sally was putting on a show. But she was a good person and so he relaxed, taking in more of the sights...

 

[Sally Spectra]

After Dark VIP suite

I take it you have a better way for me to occupy my time?

Nicolas joked, flirting right back at the older woman.

They don't call me "Mustang Sally" for nothing, sweetheart!

She said, without missing a beat, biting at Nicolas like a jungle cat. Morgan & Ava both smirked & giggled.


Everyone sits. Morgan sits on Sally's left & Nicolas on her right while Ava sits on the next part of the leather sofa sectional & Zach, Haleigh & Delilah sit across from her in the other part.

Sally's attendant resumes fanning her & the other one, young, well oiled & toned blonde male wearing nothing more than tight leather briefs hands her a vodka tonic.

"I could get used to this."

She said with a coy smile.

There's never too much of a good thing darling.

I....like the attention....and I deserve it.

After a day battling with Stephanie Forrester or Claudia Zacchara, a place like this is just what I need.

Looking amongst the group.

And looking at some of you, I think the same applies.

And where is our tiny little proprietor, Ella? I must congratulate her on these sumptuous, decadent accomodations.

Smacking her waiter on his bottom as he turns to leave.


So, boys and girls...I assume you know why I wanted to meet with Morgan & since Ella invited you here, what better time to have a meeting of the minds!

 

[Rampage]

They don't call me "Mustang Sally" for nothing, sweetheart!

She said, without missing a beat, biting at Nicolas like a jungle cat. Morgan & Ava both smirked & giggled.

Nicolas growled back at the mogul, his voice rumbling LOUDLY in his chest. Sally laughs as one of her attendants jumped a bit.

He settled in as Sally got down to business. The businessman in him hoped that he could snag some shipping contracts out of the deal...and he liked the attention he received as a model.

 

[Spellbinder]

After Dark VIP

<< sitting down beside Sally & leaning back, Morgan crosses her long, flawless legs as a waiter took her drink order.>>

lemon drop, extra sugar on the glass, lemon slices on the side please.

<< Morgan took a few glances at her waiter, his bewitching eyes & his body...much of it on full display. Sally & Nicolas playfully flirted w/ one another as Morgan took a moment to look down @ her ample bosom & found herself feeling rather odd...>>

goddess...I feel rather WARM...

<< She sifts a bit as she makes herself a bit more comfortable & looks over at Sally.>>

And where is our tiny little proprietor, Ella? I must congratulate her on these sumptuous, decadent accomodations.

Smacking her waiter on his bottom as he turns to leave.

Yes...Ella clearly has an eye for design, theme & presentation. Either that or she has one hell of a think tank to have come up w/ this theme.

It's more luxe than XS, the club I used to haunt back in NYC. I must extend my compliments to her & thank her for hosting us this evening. I...think I've just found my new haunt on the west coast!

So, boys and girls...I assume you know why I wanted to meet with Morgan & since Ella invited you here, what better time to have a meeting of the minds!

of course, Sally. & if there were ever any doubt before, let me clear it up by saying your proposal, your offer are very much in line with what I wanted & I would be happy to accept & join in a partnership with you!

Aside from the chance to do a major reinvention of my own "brand"...anything that will help sock it to Claudia is worth getting involved in my book!

That's the spirit, girlie! I knew you still had it in you! To success! *rasing her glass to Morgan* & the rewards therein!

<< Morgan smiles widely & toasts with Sally, the glassings clinking together as they both drink...GULP their drinks down & signal for another one from their waiters.>>

<< the group had just witnessed the official beginning of a powerfull & lucrative partnership between Sally Spectra & Morgan Victoria. Those among the six knew that the fashion industry was Morgan's life blood & this could only mean big things for her & a new chapter in the world of fashion in general!>>

I suggest, my dear, that whatever you do as your first move w/ the house of spectra, you do it here. the only way to do anything is to do it big & I'm sure our darling little hostess, Ella wouldnt mind it all. We can discuss that & other things later though. Now lets not haggle over formalities & details! It's time to ENJOY the eveninggggg

<< Nicolas, eager to offer his services in other capacities such as areas of infrastructure & possible contracts w/ Sepctra Couture would have to wait, but the opportunity was still there. he knew he could get an audience with Sally if he asked her nicely though she played hard, she was also a hell of a business woman.>>

<< Morgan smiled as she was handed her second lemon drop & Sally purred like a cat, urging them to get into the spirit of things.>>

<< the music was still propelling them into the night & nobody in the club showed any signs of slowing down. this was a place where people w/ money to burn & a willingness to go the distance came.>>

<< Morgan's mind was ABLAZE with emotion. Happiness, excitement, JOY, anticipation...it was as though she'd just felt a part of herself REVIVE as she toasted w/ Sally. Her body tingled with the dark, electric feel of the atmosphere they were in >>

Oh I wish Alison & Blaze were here with us...they'd LOVE this!

 

[Ella Price]

"Yes....yes...fucking suck it all....yes!"

A man's voice growled out from behind the "Employee's Only" doors that lead to Ella Price's office. With her fangs latched onto the neck of a rather cookie cutter clean looking male socialite, the blonde's hazel eyes opened before taking one last gulp of his warm blood. Removing her mouth from his neck, her fangs were visable and her mouth was stained red.

"Shut it, Fabio. You're really starting to piss me off."

Ella growled, fully intending to enjoy her meal before having to make an appearance in the club. But, alas, that wouldn't happen. Hearing the door open to her office, Ella glanced over seeing her friend [and manager of After Dark] Aria enter the room.

Aria: "All of the VIP guests have arrived."

"Damn."

Running her tongue across her lips, she licked what blood remained on them and sighed. Using her index finger, she pierced the tip of her finger until a spot of blood appeared. Grabbing the male socialite's jaw, she roughly moved his face to the side exposing his neck.

Man: "Hey...you didn't finish! You said i'd get the full experience!"

Rubbing her bloody finger on the 2 fang wounds that were on his neck, her blood instantly healed the wounds leaving only a red stain where the holes once were. Moving his face back so he was looking at her, Ella looked rather annoyingly into his eyes. The moment their eyes met, his expression changed and he was in a daze.

"You got the full VIP experience."

Man: "I got the full VIP experience."

"You had a lot to drink and decided to end your night early and go home."

Man: "I did have a lot to drink..."

"And remember....After Dark is the hottest club you've ever been to. Tell your friends."

Man: "Totally..."

Pushing his face away, Ella rolled her eyes at how utterly stupid this boy was. But, he was tasty.

"Make sure he gets a cab home."

Aria nodded and escorted the boy out of Ella's office. Walking into her bathroom, she did a quick once over to make sure she was clean before heading out herself to greet her VIP guests. Walking through the busy club, she made her way up the spiral staircase and was finally seen by the others. The music changed as she made her appearance to a sick new song by Basement Jaxx. Wearing a sexy black leather dress that fit rather well into the "theme" of After Dark, Ella's blonde hair was pulled back and her makeup was dark and alluring [also in the picture]. It was definitely a massive contrast to what Morgan had seen earlier that day when they first met at Melrose Place.

"I see you've made yourself comfortable."

She said with a welcoming smile and obvious southern accent. Extending her gloved hand [same material as her dress] out to Sally, she graciously and politely shook it not having met her face to face yet.

"It's a pleasure Ms. Spectra."

 

[Spellbinder]

VIP suite

<< everyone in the VIP suite was talking, drinking & laughing...enjoying themselves & feeling the atmosphere.>>

<< Sally Spectra definately brought a fire of freedom & mischief to the mix that made everyone...even Haleigh & Delilah loosen up a bit while Zach couldnt help but almost BLUSH from the range of emotions he was picking up from Ms. Spectra.>>

See, Dee? There was a reason we stuck around Melrose Place after all...now we have THIS LOVELY

<< she extends her arm & waves/beckons w/ her finger & well manicured nail to her waiter for yet ANOTHER drink. Her 4th now.>>

little place!

I never knew L.A. HAD such a....

<< she was slightly buzzed.>>

gem of an estab..lishment.

well we're gonna have to get up and dance soon. after all, when you're the object of envy, you want to be seen AND heard! am i right!?

quite right INDEED!

<< Sally & Morgan laugh heartily as they clink their glasses together and happily drink down.>>

"I see you've made yourself comfortable."

She said with a welcoming smile and obvious southern accent. Extending her gloved hand [same material as her dress] out to Sally, she graciously and politely shook it not having met her face to face yet.

"It's a pleasure Ms. Spectra."

<< Morgan sat up a little more straight as she beheld ELLA PRICE! it was such a STRIKING change , the woman standing before her vs. the woman she saw earlier in the day at Melrose Place!>>

Oh yes, ELLA!

<< Getting an eyefull of this outfit...one that Blaze would no doubt define as "UNHOLY", Morgan smiled as she greeted her.>>

This is QUITE the establishment you have here!

<< Ella greeted Sally Spectra next.>>

 

[Sally Spectra]

VIP suite

Sally Spectra noted the arrival of Ella Price. She whistled & waved her hand in front of her like she'd just touched something HOT.

Well Wellllll look who we have here!

"It's a pleasure Ms. Spectra."

I am most pleased indeed, my dear.

extending her hand to take Ella's gloved hand.

I dont know how you did it, managing to hide this little gem as long as you did or how you even managed to get space on Melrose Avenue...but honey, you've definately outdone yourself.

Looking over at Nicolas.

You know what they say...when the flood's coming in and the tide is rising...EVERYBODY want's to get on the boat.

Tide?? << Spellbinder says with a smirk as she quickly waves for ANOTHER drink.>> Sally, you're a tidal WAVE!

Ohoooo

Looking over at Morgan with a coy expression, Sally laughs in a low tone with Morgan as she nudges Morgan playfully.

Ella, darling...where have you been hiding all evening? I was beginning to wonder if you were going to need a spanking for bad manners! hiding from us like this!

 

[Ella Price]

Morgan: "This is QUITE the establishment you have here!"

"Thank you, I'm glad you think so."

Sally: I dont know how you did it, managing to hide this little gem as long as you did or how you even managed to get space on Melrose Avenue...but honey, you've definately outdone yourself.

"Money speaks volumes. And of course, a little persuasion doesn't hurt."

By persuasion she meant glamouring. This "little gem" as Sally put it was off the market for quite some time due to local residents not wanting a club to disrupt the area. And, of course, the price was quadrupedal what it would have been if said on the Sunset Strip.

Sally: Ella, darling...where have you been hiding all evening? I was beginning to wonder if you were going to need a spanking for bad manners! hiding from us like this!

A small laugh escaped her perfectly red stained lips.

"Just a bit of business that couldn't wait."

Shifting her eyes from Sally and Morgan to their guests, Ella's lips curved into a smile once seeing how beautiful everyone was. The red head looked less relaxed than the others, but there was something about her tightened expression that made Ella's heart race...if her heart could race that is. The brunette next to her was exotic and mouth watering....the things she would love to do to her. Then of course there was the hulking black man who, wasn't her cup of tea, but still gorgeous nonetheless. She could definitely get a happy ending after snacking on him. Then Ella became slightly ridged at the sight of the other blonde--Delilah. She was gorgeous...perfect hair, perfect skin, perfect eyes....but there was something else. Her smell was INTOXICATING; like chocolate and raspberries all wrapped in one. It was different than the others--the others smelled delicious...but SHE was the creme de la creme. She was pregnant....a woman's blood changes when with child...so she was definitely the prime stake of the group.

Swallowing a bit hard, if her mouth could water, it would be. However Ella kept her composure and smiled, returning her stare to Morgan.

"You keep beautiful company; although i'm not surprised considering you're a super model. I'm hoping at least one of my new neighbors is single."

She said with a sly smile as she gave Delilah another once over.

 

[Spellbinder]

VIP Suite

<< Morgan was very much enjoying herself & buzzed at this point. With everything lining up in her favor since her return, tonight was just one of many nights she saw herself indulging in the utmost in the future.>>

<< Ella looked so different from hours ago. It was almost as if Morgan was dreaming. The difference was so STRIKING.>>

Swallowing a bit hard, if her mouth could water, it would be. However Ella kept her composure and smiled, returning her stare to Morgan.

"You keep beautiful company; although i'm not surprised considering you're a super model."

Oh...

<< Morgan exhales & laughs a bit resting her hand on her ample bosom.>>

You're so sweet! Thank you very much!


<< looking at Dee & Nicolas for a moment. THEY remembered how hurt she was when Claudia had cruelly suggested she "aged out" of the industry. But she seemed so much BETTER since that time & tonight was proof of that.>>

"I'm hoping at least one of my new neighbors is single."

Where ARE my manners??

<< She moves scoots forward a bit & sits upright. She extends her hand out, gesturing toward Delilah.>>

Ella Price, meet your new neigbors: Delilah Trelevan,

<< gesturing to each one>>

Ava Cassidine, Nicolas King, Haleigh Davidoff & her significant other, Zach Armani.

and obviously you know the bold & beautifull Sally Spectra!

<< Sally & Morgan lean on each other & laugh together.>>

 

[Seer]

point of intrigue...and concern

<< For Haleigh & Zach, tonight was a very intriguing experience. Haleigh couldnt help but note that this was one of those RARE moments in the Six where all was seemingly RIGHT & they were truly happy at the moment. Times like these were so far & few in between!>>

<< this club was unlike anything she'd seen before. It was beyond even XS. It was closer to what she'd experienced during the Six's crosstime caper when they stopped in the Masters of Evil timeline when they saw their haunt known as VENOM.>>

<< She took note of the bold super diva, Sally Spectra. Of course being the proprietor of Liquid Crystal Images & having worked w/ Morgan in the world of fashion for years, she'd heard of this fiery fashion mogul. Sally was rich, WELL connected & very powerfull in the social & fashion scene on the west coast. She was older but she could run with the best of em & it was a source of amusement to see her as she openly lusted/flirted with Nicolas. Zach couldnt help but feel the emotions radiating from this woman like WAVES. She was truly unabashed in whatever she did. And so, as Haleigh & Zach quitely remarked on the things they were observing...Sally was definately a topic they dwelled on for a few moments.>>

<< Everyone was enjoying themselves in his/her own way...with Sally Spectra serving as the beckoning voice leading them deeper into the darkness of this intriguing place.>>

<< As time passed, Morgan was buzzed but still composed. As Sally commented on Ella Price, the name made Haleigh perk up & soon the woman herself was present, looking strikingly different than she had when Haleigh first observed her.>>

<< despite her shocking appearence, she presented herself as very demure & gracious, complete w/ a southern belle accent.>>

<< Sally & Morgan complimented the woman & Haleigh looked on. Only some among them might have guessed what she was doing as she looked at Ella with a calm but unwavering gaze. She was conducting an upclose SCAN using her powers as they now appeared following the Viper caper.>>

<< She & Zach BOTH picked up on her rather ernest looks at Morgan, then Ava, and then Delilah...more than once.>>

Swallowing a bit hard, if her mouth could water, it would be. However Ella kept her composure and smiled, returning her stare to Morgan.

"You keep beautiful company; although i'm not surprised considering you're a super model. I'm hoping at least one of my new neighbors is single."

<< curious indeed. was she of the same persuasion as Blaze Fielding? or was there something else?>>


<< ZOOM IN on Haleigh's eyes, & into the unique network that is her mind that allows her to scan vital stats of a person as well as search global databases for information on the person.>>

<< The hybrid has the vitals of the Six committed to memory & she knows the range for normal baseline humans as well as metahumans, mutants even mutates like Silver Swan or the olympians but with ELLA PRICE? there was something all together DIFFERENT going on.>>

<< the readings she was getting were as bizarre as the scene they were immersed in AND they werent unique. She had picked up the same odd vitals from the door stewards & the dancers out in the main areas of the club! were HER powers malfunctioning? Was it Ella actively interferring? Haleigh could definately rule out Ella was NOT merely a "flatscan" but was she a super? a mutant or mutate or something ELSE??>>

<< Zooming back out of Haleigh's visual input back into the VIP suite.>>

<< Ella seemed quite reserved, even dressed as she was but she seemed to have a certain affection for Morgan & her new neighbors. where was that coming from?>>

<< indeed there was more to this "tiny little proprietor" than meets the eye and now Haleigh was interested although NOT for the same reasons Nicolas or any of the others might have been.>>

<< as the interaction continued, Delilah & Ava noticed Haleigh giving Zach "that look" ...the one that said "something else lies beneath...">>

 

[Persephone]

Sally: Well Wellllll look who we have here!

Glancing over at the staircase, Ava peered over her glass of vodka and cranberry to see a striking blonde dressed...well, like one would assume in a club like this. So this was Ella? Definitely a stark contrast to what Morgan described. She greeted Sally and Morgan--Ava taking note of her slight southern accent.

Ella: "You keep beautiful company, although i'm not surprised considering your a super model. I'm hoping at least one of my new neighbors is single."

Huh, where's Blaze when you need her? Ava thought to herself noting that Ella was into both men and woman, but moreso woman.....and actually, moreso DELILAH. Lifting a curious brow, she watched as Ella checked Delilah out openly and without reservations. She couldn't help but humorously smile because she knew Delilah was in no state of mind to be fending off a horny female.

Morgan quickly introduced everyone; Ava giving her a polite smile as her name was said. Glancing over at Haleigh, she did a bit of a double take seeing her sister eying Ella with more interest than she usually would have. Her eyes were fixated and Ava knew she was doing a scan. But the way Haleigh looked at Ava AFTER the scan was what made her curiosity pique. She knew her sister well enough to know when something was off, and apparently something was off was Ella. She had her concerns earlier in the evening when Ava had stopped by, but now that she was able to do a full uninterrupted scan, it definitely confirmed her suspicions.

"So, Ella."

Ava spoke; her eyes still on Haleigh before shifting them to the blonde.

"Where are you from? I detect a bit of a southern American accent."

Narrowing her eyes with curiosity, Ava remained poised but direct.

Ella: "Louisiana--New Orleans."

"Ahh. Do they have many of these types of clubs in Louisiana?"

Ella scoffed out lightheartedly and shook her head.

Ella: "Not that I can remember."

Ava slowly nodded.

"Huh.....well, you certainly got your inspiration from somewhere. This place is amazing....definitely one of the hottest clubs i've been to globally."

Ella: "Thank you. I do appreciate that.

Ava gave her a smiled "your welcome", though it looked more bitchy than sincere. If Haleigh thought there was something off about this girl, there had to be a couple designated watchman tonight considering Morgan and Sally were already 3 sheets to the wind.

 

[Rampage]

Ell a made her appearance and she was actually quite attractive. A bit waifish for his tastes but nothing to toss out of bed for sure. He smiled as he was introduced but it was clear that she was drawn to Delilah. Drawn was the way he saw it as it seemed...primal to him. He sat back and observed a moment. Haleigh baselines changed as she apparently noticed SOMETHING. He would ask her later on as right now, he noticed Ava giving Ella about 10 - 15% more bitch than normal.

As they prepared to party, Nicolas figured he would kill two birds with one stone. As the music boomed through the club, he stood and offered Ava his hand. Besides, who passes up a chance to see Ava shake her ass up close? He winked at her in a way that hinted that he might have something to say.


A dance?


He led her only a few steps off, at the end of the dance area and they began to move. As they danced he looked at her face and she heard him speak in her head.

What is going on goddess? You are too secure to be jealous and you and Haleigh obviously smell a rat. Is it the goons at the door?

Dancing in the dark

<< Ella Price's debut to the residents of Melrose Place, THE SIX was both eye opening & more than a little peculiar for more than. The girl once again prooved to be far more than meets the eye even moreso from earlier this afternoon.>>

<< She was gracious, charming & definately a head turner in her outfit & as the proprietor of this dark establishment but what ELSE was she? That's what Haleigh & Ava wanted to find out. Even Nicolas noted her lingering, almost ernest gaze upon Delilah.>>

<< after pleasantries & casual conversation, Sally Spectra stands up, waving for a scantily clad male attendant to bring over her glittery red feather boa, one of the accessories to her red dress. She declared to all in the suite it was time for them all to go & DANCE! >>

<< Morgan was happy! Standing up & clapping her hands with delight as she indicated she wanted to try dancing in one of the bird cages suspended from the ceiling! Delilah & Zach were both equally amused & a bit taken aback, Haleigh was her usual reserved...if not somewhat stoic self. She was known to be this way w/ "newcomers"...some more than others. But where she couldnt help but be amused & warmed up by Sally Spectra, Ella [unknowingly] brought her back to a more business/guard mode & w/ Morgan now completely inebriated by over a half dozen strong Lemon Drops & Sally Spectra the picture of glamor & excess leading the way, Haleigh felt the need to keep an eye out...especially for Delilah, who was not looking quite so comfortable anymore.>>

<< Ella was pleased that not only was her club poised to be the biggest draw in town, but it also seemed to win her over with her new neighbors at MP, well some of them. But at the very least they ALL knew she as not merely a "little southern girl" now. As they left to head out to the main area, Ella advised them she had a few matters to attend to elsewhere in the club & encouraged them to continue to enjoy themselves, thanking them all for their rave reviews of her place.>>

<< She'd see them all again soon enough...whether they wanted or not. It was just that way for The Six & those mysterious "new comers". But the circumstances would be a surprise to them all as things continued.>>


<< out of the VIP suite, down the hall, to the glowing spiral stair case & down into the main atrium of the club>>

<< DJ Tone, a tall, lean, musclar black man w/ a shaved head wearing interesting dark frames over his eyes & DJ Rap, a young blonde woman who could be the successor of a young Farrah Fawcett & young Heather Locklear, giving her "impossibly perfect" good looks. Both of these beautifull people are driving this club full of beautifull into the night as they work together in a surprising synergy inside the rounded DJ booth.>>

<< various views of the club, the wall of dancers, the bar ; flashing/fleeting images of the dance floor & people dancing as well as the DJs in the booth.>>

<< Drum-n-Bass rave music w/ touches of house booms, blares & loops over the sound system as the DJs mix & spin like dark pied pipers.>>

<< zoom into the mist filled, laser lighted expanse of the dance floor among the patrons who dancing the night away with hard drive & we see Sally Spectra, prooving that the older generation can STILL cut a rug no matter what time, place OR music. Dancing with joy & saucy seduction that would do Mae West proud as she ropes two eager young , handsome (& hardly dressed ) male house dancers in with her feather boa & dances with them.>>

<< moving through the dance floor & viewing various people, as the music continues, we look up & see MORGAN VICTORIA, dancing like a diva & using her skills as a Model to draw attention as she moves inside one of the bird cages w/ uncaring glee. Its a side of her not seen by Delilah in YEARS & even Nicolas can't help but notice & MISS the fun he used to have with Morgan when they were "TOGETHER" but he doesnt begrudge her of this night & all that it means to her.>>

<< Haleigh & Zach opt to keep Delilah company as she sits out for the time being. The are seated at a cocktail table near the dance floor with a perfect view of Morgan , Sally Spectra & finally, Nicolas & Ava, who are dancing together nearby.>>

<< But there's more to be done here than DANCING for these two. Inspite of the flow of sound & energy around them, Nicolas, being a telepath & Ava having enhanced senses including hearing are able to converse while dancing together. Dancing & comparing notes. Nicolas saw Ava & Haleigh's subtle reactions to Ella. He's worked beside them, ARGUED with them & endured much with them too long not to pick up on their behaviors. That's part of being smart & aware...part of being a team.>>

<< so what DID Ava think or Ella? What WAS Nicolas missing?>>

 

[Spellbinder]

After-Dark dance floor

<< Ahh everything had gone so well for her today & now she was poised & primed for a mega comeback & reinvention that would ensure the success of her return! Her relationships with Delilah & Nicolas had been repaired & showed new health, No strife among the team or at MP, no deadly enemies looming...it was as though with the destruction of BLACK , the page had FINALLY turned for her.>>

<< this evening was so much fun & so well DESERVED! She liked getting back to the glamor & excess of the night scene that accompanied the days of working the catwalk or overseeing a fashion empire by day. With Sally Spectra as her ally & partner, the possibilities were endless & it was no secret that Sally's belief in Morgan was a BIG help to Morgan's own self esteem which was (for better or worse) tied directly her image, standing & success in the world of fashion.>>

<< she started into the club with a reserved step but after meeting up with Sally Spectra & indulging in Lemon Drops, she as now RUNNING wildly into the night of fun as only could be had in a scene like this.>>

<< after Ella's formal introduction & pleasantries, Morgan, blissfully unaware of Ella's own private thoughts or reactions to her, ava & delilah, not to mention Haleigh & Zach's concern & intrigue over Ella's unseen signals/vitals, happily joins the others on the dance floor at Sally's urging.>>

<< true to her diva model instincts, she demands to be placed inside one of the bird cages so she can dance for all to see!>>

<< the DJ's drive the crowd with the hypnotic drum-n-bass mixes they spin & Morgan definately puts on a show in the cage.>>

<< her thoughts are like the wind she flies on, she's aware & yet miles away at the same time. though the music is the dominating sound in this space, Morgan's own thoughts & dreams in her heart beat just as loudly in her mind.>>

<< her mind...loosened as it is by the large amount of alcohol she's consumed...also lets her imagination run WILDLY as she dances. one moment she's in this club....the next>>

<< eldritch chimes are heard. ZOOM into Morgan's icy violet eye...into her MIND'S eye.>>

FLASH << the same scene in AfterDark, only its LIMBO. & its not people dancing, its her DEMONS. Morgan is dancing high above them, but manifesting the DARKCHILD aspect of her soul FREELY & without reservation! The same music is playing, but the skies of limbo still swirl & thunder with fury & Morgan dances, REIGNS above them all as their glamorous, demonic, SUCCESSFULL QUEEN!>> FLASH

<< she flashes between physical reality & this wild imagination several times as she dances on.>>

<< still, from those who see her & are watching her, she appears to be having a glorious time & that alone is reason enough to let her enjoy herself.>>

<< Sally is on the dance floor, w/ two young, handsome, eager men at her disposal. Delilah, Haleigh & Zach are at a cocktail table just off the floor keeping calm & keeping watch & Nicolas & Ava enjoy a dance...& a conference.>>

 

[Persephone]

Taking Nicolas' hand, Ava was lead out of the VIP lounge and to the dance floor away from prying ears. Draping her arms loosely around Nicolas' neck, an upbeat song was playing, however it was of slower tempo allowing them talk.

Nicolas: What is going on goddess? You are too secure to be jealous and you and Haleigh obviously smell a rat. Is it the goons at the door?

"Haleigh had concerns about her back at Melrose Place, but she didn't have significant enough data to really be worried. But I know my sister...she gave me a look indicating there is definitely something more to Miss Price."

Glancing over at the spiral staircase where Ella was decended down, she watched as the blonde made her way across the club to meet up with an attractive redheaded woman whom look to have worked at the club. They both disappeared into the "Employee's Only" room.

"She seems well enough, but you know our track record. The nicer they are, the more batshit crazy they are. Do you sense anything about her that seems off?"

 

[Rampage]

"Haleigh had concerns about her back at Melrose Place, but she didn't have significant enough data to really be worried. But I know my sister...she gave me a look indicating there is definitely something more to Miss Price."

Nicolas turned a bit, shifting the couple so that BOTH of them could watch Ella without being noticed. As Ava asked the question, he began to do a physical scan...

"She seems well enough, but you know our track record. The nicer they are, the more batshit crazy they are. Do you sense anything about her that seems off?"

He danced a bit more with the goddess as he worked. She 'heard' him speak to her as he simply appeared to smile and exchange pleasantries to anyone outside of the couple.


Hmnn...she has no pulse, her body temperature is lower than the air in the club and there is a hole where her mind should be. Other than that, she seems fine...for someone clinically dead.
