Curse of Two Fates

Playing right into jealousy

Fog spilled through the door, blinding light flashed, the smell of sugar and musk filled the air. Music blared, the male voice singing melted her stress away as the bass boomed against the walls. The fog cleared slowly revealing deep red and black colors filled the room. stairs lead up on either side of the room leading to long balconies on either side. people sat at tables with card games and drink. laughing. cussing. some dancing on the glass like center floor and other relaxing in long couches filled with pillows. Curtain hung from the ceiling draping to the floor covering and shading people left and right. The bar in the center had at least five people handing out drinks and food. 

Selena looked around curiously as she made her way through the crowded room. smiling faintly as some girls laid on a wide bed. sipping cocktails and eating sweet treats all colored in dark reds and black. playing cards laid spread out on the bed around them along with money. she paused and looked around realising money was everywhere. people tossed it around like paper, like it was nothing to them. She smirked as girls danced around poles in almost nothing. 

the room felt relaxing and happy, with some sexual tension drifting around casually. the red room lights and fog set a mood as she looked up to see Rio holding up a drink to her. He smiled widely and waved his hand. 

"Welcome. To the party of a century. The black room ball." He said as she took the drink and nodded taking a slow sip. She raised her eyes and looked down at the sweet drink in her hand and blushed. "Surprised?"

Selena smirked. "I didn't think people of certain status could relax like this." 

Rio chuckled lowly. "lena... this is the only party to relax at. You can do anything here and no one will mention when the sun comes up in a few days. you can make money, spend money, eat, drink and dance. Talk to anyone and do.. other ...Risque things." 

Selena looked around and then down at her clothes. "I'm dressed so differently." 

Rio nodded. "Come, we already bought your clothes over. you can change and then come out and look around. No one will judge. Just remember we all come here to escape... so flee with everything you have." He said and lead her to a room. opening the door a few nearly naked girls smiled and waved at him. He nodded to them winking slyly and pushed her in. "Black bow on the bed... and don't shy from the attention... flourish in it."

Selena smiled as she opened the box. A long black gown and emborders with bright white stone along the left side sat inside. it was form fitting but comfortable. the jewels sparkled against the mood lighting making her stand out from from the rest of the women. their dresses were flashy and showed most of their bodys. Her dress cut into a deep cut line and had a long slit up the leg and to her hip.  the strips matched the white jewelry that laid at the bottom. she smiled over the note and slipped on the stiletto heels that matched. 

"go and find him." she mumbled rereading the note and headed for the door excited.

Stepping out a few eyes landed on her as she made her way back to the bar and smiled as then bartender handed her a drink that glowed in the black lights. she wander around the room playing games, talking to others and eating the delicious treats till she sat down on a couch not far from rio who was relaxing and talking to a few people. Rio smirked and got upmoving to her slowly before he sat down and smiled at her happy mood. "Having fun?"

Selena nodded and glanced down at his wrist, all three bracelets sat on his wrist and she tilted her head. "You have all three?"

Rio looked down and smirked. "my taste are complicated."

She tilted her head and sipped her drink, a light blush covering her cheeks as she smirked. "Care to explain. obviously black means all this..." 

Rio nodded and chuckled sipping his as he leaned back. "Black is this room, the black ball. meant for playing and dancing. Gold.... gold is for more expensive taste. it has more private places for people moe dangerous. thing that happen there are private, more tasteful for an older crowd.  Rolandis known to show once in a while their. Red... red is for though who enjoy sex... and other types of illegals things. drugs, sex, very explicit. It also has more supernatural beings there."
