Renegade Regalia Inc.

Within the Marketplace, located a short distance from the clock tower that could be seen from almost any destination in town, lay the newest installment of Renegade Regalia Inc. Doors opened on Friday the 17th with the lure of bejeweled items few had laid their eyes on in a lifetime! From gaudy to subtle, glamorous to romantic, the pieces within were hand crafted, one of a kind items that would leave browsers a little breathless.

Una Vogue, a tall drink of unique water with her extreme height and opal skin, would be there to speak highly of not only the products therein but also those that were part of the Regalia family by way of enchanters and jewelcrafters. As proprietor of the establishment that seemed to cater to the mundane as well as the fantastic, she was open to any questions about any and all merchandise. Those that were curious to place in orders for certain elegance (be it either rings, necklaces, brooches, etc.) with a little extra were told to speak with either Oxyn or Glo who would also be in attendance.

Everything is, to put it bluntly, immaculate. Glass displays shine almost as brightly as the items they showcase — almost but it's soon found that literally nothing else seems to glitter like the finery here.

Glasses of a sweet champagne (this, too, was unlike anything one would taste; it held notes of iced strawberries, passion fruit peel, hints of black currant, and one other thing that no one could put their finger on!) garnished with sprigs of lavender are handed out to those that gather.

There was talk amid those that worked for the glorious name of Vogue about a raffle that would be giving away beautifully done signature pieces that had been designed by Una's own daughter, Ana.

( OOC: This is a board event only! All those that attend the grand opening will receive a very special icon (http://i.imgur.com/aw7y4ff.gif). Characters are automatically signed up for the raffle once a post has been made of them attending, or if you don't want to post, a Polyvore would be fine! The raffle items will be made into one of a kind icons and given to the winners. Please keep an eye on the auctions (Link to Auctions!) as well! Items will be posted via the Renegade Regalia characters to be bid on! These are one of a kind icons so none will be replicated! Raffle will be cut off on Sunday, June 26th. If you wish to have your character 'request' a certain piece, or an enchantment, or a piece with an enchantment, feel free to PM Una Vogue or Ana Vogue! And as always, happy gaming! )

"See" Your nails look beautiful." One said. "For your date." The other chimed in.

Both laughed.

I do not like it. were Nayun's inner thoughts at the nails. While she had expected to be signaled into the Adenna embassy for a bath and other such things; which included light makeup and being clothed — she had not expected her nails to be done. Her handmaidens appeared to be more excited over the event than Nayun did — and she didn't quite grasp the reason why. It was already strange seeing them giggle while peeping through a window when she returned with Lisa after the Gala, but now this? They needed discipline. She made a note to instruct the two to practice their gunnery while she's away.

I'd rather be hunting...

But she went. She viewed the adventure to the opening as something to make Lisa happy. If Lisa is happy, then that meant they could possibly hunt more. If they hunt more, then there would be more meat to feast upon back in Yasuo and more trophies to collect. While the prospect of continuing her work on piecing together the skeleton of a forest cat she killed recently sounded like a better use of her time, she couldn't help but feel somewhat at ease. Maybe it was when she saw Lisa smile as they perused the trinkets and other jeweled items of the establishment.

She did eat, but it would be only one of the cake balls. She'd also offer one to Lisa, because it seemed the proper thing to do. Even if she might have appeared awkward by standing there and holding it up to her while saying "Here. It is good.". The wine seemed to be the only drink offered, so she made due by taking a glass. It wouldn't even be half empty by the time the night is over.

None would question the reasoning behind a carrion queens curiosity when Lola was spotted on the scene of the grand opening. Her warbird lineage caused curiosity to become obsession; she was a dangerous buyer that was as quiet as an eye of a storm, browsing before being caught into a sharp tongued conversation with Una.

The two, such polar opposites in look, were peas of the same pod: Vain, haughty, threatening equals of beauty.

Lola had no cake, declined any sweet champagne, but she was a spectacular patron for the amount that she spent on more than a few of the gorgeous creations.

Amthy warbled dove-like crooning coos of delight as she toured the facility. Where the green-haired girl wandered the scent of oakmoss (indecision), orange blossom (whimsy), and wild flowers (happiness) followed. The Nymph had a deep fondness for all things that glittered and sparkled. While she had managed to talk her sister Cayt into attending the grand opening it was their escort, the Malign family agent, that saw to the mundane task of finalizing Amthy's purchases. And she was definitely buying.

Duci could never turn down new shinies, and she even made an effort to bid in addition to entering the raffle! Champagne in hand, she browsed the collections, oohing and ahhing at how each piece sparkled and glittered in its own unique manner. If she had the chance, she spoke with the proprietor a little bit, placing an order of new earrings, before helping herself to some cake balls while outside and mingling with other shoppers before she left.

Saila showed up for the opening mostly because Saila liked showing up for things. Anything that glittered naturally caught her eye, so she was very curious to check things out and see what she could see.

She did not partake of any sweets, though she did have several glasses of the champagne — there would be no judgment from Saila when she caught Peaches managing three flutes of it at once, only a 'hell yeah that's a great idea' kind of grin.

The muse found the enchanted pieces fascinating, her fingers wandering every so often over the milk green surface of a tear drop shaped pendant that hung on a thin gold chain at her throat.

Ogling each case in turn, the girl was an inquisitive soul, and likely asked a million questions about nearly every piece. She wanted to know how they worked, what enchantments were available, what they were made of, everything. Saila might even have asked to see one or two of them — there was absolutely no cake on her hands, she promised.

She would stop to talk with those she knew—hellos traded with Duci, Peaches, Terry and Thorn, for sure — and probably introduced herself to at least a few she didn't. Mismatched eyes snagged once or twice on the woman who seemed exclusively preoccupied with the gold jewelry, and Saila maybe tried to say hello to her, as well.

Lucy turned Kate on to this event. Shiny things were always of interest to her and so was rubbing shoulders with the rich and richer. She always walked out with a few extra business cards and a few extra trinkets in her purse, enjoying the game of networking and seeing what hot gossip could be turned for profit when whispered into the right ear.

The pilot drank her fill in champagne while she schmoozed with the glittering multitudes, entering herself in the raffle for each one of the prizes. Might as well hedge her bets while she could.

To say Elle loved jewelry was a bit of an understatement. She had an almost unnatural obsession with the stuff, which had helped her procure employment as a "jewelry consultant" - whatever that was - for Spirit Crystals, a jewelry store in New Haven. It was just a fancy title for what amounted to sales, but it kept her busy and out of trouble.

Trouble had been her middle name before she'd met Dom, but that was before, and this was now.

She had somehow managed to convince her hunky husband to take her to the Regalia's Grand Opening, mostly out of curiosity. It wasn't that she wanted to see what the competition had to offer, so much as she just liked pretty, sparkly, expensive things, as evidenced by the rock on her left hand Dom had given her some months back.

He'd agreed to take her, reluctantly at first, but there was very little he could deny his new bride. He knew sparkly things were a temptation for her, though she had turned her life of crime into a lucrative business, so who was he to argue? He didn't bother to remind her there was no five-finger discount. There was no need for that anymore when he could just as easily buy her what she wanted.

There were so many pretty things on display, but the one that caught her eye the most was the red heart. This being Rhy'Din, it was hard to say what it was made up of exactly, but the sparkle of diamonds was unmistakable. And it was being raffled off. She'd couldn't help but keep her fingers crossed; otherwise, they might get itchy to just take what she wanted.

So, there she was, on Dom's arm, baby bump just barely visible beneath her little black dress, a small glass of champagne in her hand - because sipping one glass wouldn't hurt - strolling through the gallery, ooohing and aaahing with the rest of the guests.

Her fingers were getting a little itchy at all the tempting treats, but she had made a promise to Dom never to steal again. After all, she had treasures a-plenty these days in the way of friends and family, not the least withstanding the gorgeous hunk of man that was almost all the arm candy she needed.

Almost. After all, diamonds are a girl's best friend.
