Topic: The Social Scoop of the Season

The Oracle's front doors were opened by the long-stemmed attach? from Nouveau Bretagne. Solange LeClerc was expertly wrapped in a blush-inspired silk blouse that managed to hug her torso in all the right places, and a pencil thin ivory linen skirt that led the eye up and down her best attributes. Eyeing the front reception desk, she began forward, tucking her eel-skinned clutch closer under her arm. Her ears picked up the din of the presses, as she smoothed her dark locks back into her calculatedly casual updo.

"Good afternoon," came her liltingly educated drawl, "With whom do I speak about a feature for your Society page? I have quite a scoop for you." The smile she wore eased into a wider grin, and owed much of its sparkle to the light in her ebony eyes.

The cowgirl Queen's royal guards were with her as usual this afternoon as she made her way down the bustling streets in the center of her "diamond". She was smiling while window shopping for new clothes since all too soon her own would no longer fit and she did want to be prepared. At least that was the current excuse she was now using for spending all the silver she could get her hands on to go shopping with!

The High Elven warrior dressed in the personal armor of the King and Queen of Westridge opened the door to The Oracle office building then stepped inside to scan the immediate area with a keen gaze for potential threats before standing aside and holding the door wide for the reporter to enter.

She stepped into the building with a bright smile that lit up delicate features and glanced around the reception area as the other three guards moved in behind her then fanned out to surround her once more as the first closed the door then took up his position again now all four forming a protective half-circle behind her.

The woman standing waiting to see someone would have been impossible to miss under any circumstances with her professional air and good looks combined as they were let alone she was by the reception desk at the time.

Des' smile turned warm as she approached her. "Howdy! My name is Des and I work here. Can I help ya with something Darlin'?"

Her chin turned toward the obvious fanfare. Seeing the hulking guards rush forward, crisply tucked into their uniforms with intimidating expressions tattooed on their features, the first instinct to hit Solange was to grab a blaster, fire and run for cover. Such is life after living through a revolution, it would seem. Still, her tall form never wavered, nor her face betray a look of fear. She knew things in this city were very different, and for the moment, she was utterly thankful for that.

The woman that emerged from between the guards identified herself and simply looked immensely important, even without such an entourage. "Quite," Solange answered her question and quickly turned on her elegant pumps and crossed the floor to more closely address Des. "My name is Solange LeClerc," came the velvet coos, "and I think I may have something for your news journal. A....social feature that will be quite the talk of your fair city. A brilliant new family has come to town, and I'm here to make sure everyone knows about it."

She tilted her head slightly then, fully taking in the woman before her. There was a light lift to her left brow as she eyed her ensemble. Des was obviously wrapped in sumptuous fabrics, and after Solange took note of the bags in her hands, she smiled to her, "A woman after my own heart. Very lovely to meet you, Des."

The cowgirl Queen continued to smile as she listened to the woman introduce herself then go on to explain the purpose for her visit to The Oracle offices.

Immediately she saw the potential in a possible headline story for herself that could perhaps save her from having to stand on the corner selling papers with the nasty newspaper boys after the debacle of Amthy turning up alive, not dead, as she had written in good faith.

Navy blues sparkled as she nodded to Solange while sweeping her hand toward the open office area. "I'm right pleased to meet ya, Solange. Ya say there is a new important Family in town that we need to be writing about? Maybe we should go and have a seat over at my desk so I can get some paper and a pen. I don't want to make no mistakes and leave nothin' out."

There was no mistaking the subtle emphasis she had placed on the word "family" just as she did when mentioning the Bloods as she had the distinct impression that just maybe the people this well dressed woman was going to give her some information on deserved that kind of respect and she really couldn't wait to find out if that was going to prove to be the case or not.

"Shall we?"

....

And that was that. She had spent a near thirty minutes or so in Tera's office, disclosing what she would of the D'Mourir family and their upcoming philanthropic events. The details of which would be on display in the next issue of the city's paper.

On the ride home, up to the villa, Solange found the smile on her face moved little. She was satisfied with the job she had done. And as always, she had set out to complete a task and had amazed even herself.

All she had to do now was await the next printing of The Oracle.
