The Culture Tour

[Laurence]

Laurence takes one of the seats next to Grace, taking another sip from his hipflask and offering the flask to Grace.

“I haven’t had the chance to see A Comedy of Errors yet, but I understand it is meant to be most amusing.”

Relaxing back into his seat, Laurence watched the stage but his eyes keep flicking over the rest of the kindred in the group, vigilant for threats.

[Jean-Jacques]

Jean-Jacques’ aura is fair glowing with anticipation and pleasure as the performance commences, he had chosen to sit behind the elders, and ensured that Grace was flanked by Andross and Laurence, in part to maintain the etiquette, but also to avoid the creeping feeling he had within his beats so close to old blood, he wanted to witness the performance without the desires of his beast flushing to the surface.

[Jerome Price]

Jerome settles into the row alongside the Brujah, conspiratorially whispering. "I am looking forward to all the cross-dressing, it seems quite wonderful to me that in these times of such prim and proper restraint that theatre goers still tolerate and even find some delight in this practice. The same is the case with the pantomimes they put on. I don't think it's much of a challenge to understand which is the truer reflection of the kine's hidden desires, despite their most protestant protestations."

OOC: A link to the summary of the play is below for any who might wish it. Might I suggest that we consider the play over at 5pm today (1st Jan) so if anyone has a desire to do anything before or during the performance they have until then to do so?

[Jean-Jacques]

Caught up with the anticipation Jean-Jacques briefly turned in response to Elder Prices description.

“It ess ze fact zat i ‘av waited some years to zee somesink of ze man.”

I ‘av read much of ze opinion of Voltaire, from ees time en Angleterre, wis Dryden and Pope ‘ooze opinion was zat ze poet waz largely overestimated in ees work. I sink zey are onlee witness ees tragedees zho, I shall zere fore ‘av ze chance to enjoy zis without prior knowledge of ze tale.”

[Lady Grace]

After a smile and wave of dismissal to the hip flask.

"I quite agree with you there," Grace addresses to Jean Jacques, "Afterall, 'Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world' "

She continues to look at the stage.

[Andross Blint]

In an equally conspiratorial whisper, as not to detract others from their own conversations.
"Cross dressing? Really? My my, this shall be an entertainment then! Things are always so much more interesting when the standard rules of etiquette are thrown aside in such prim and proper locations, the deviant nature of it all does so give a nice edge to the passion on display."

His attention seems to focus more towards the performing area.

[Jean-Jacques]

Jean-Jacques leans forward to see Lady Grace clearly and nods an appreciative gesture, smiles and settles back to enjoy the act.

“True, Lady Grace, very true.”

[Posh-Tim]

Entering the theatre Keane is at a loss of where to sit so subtly follows Valentina's lead of where makes a good choice. This will be interesting, the last theatre he had seen was a group of local players in far flung village over a hundred years ago. This was clearly a far more grand affai, you could have fit that villages population in this theatre alone twice over.
He waits quietly, filled with curiosity and listening to the description from the others on the strangeness of cross-dressing.

[Valentina Audley]

Valentina for her part, having settled herself and Keane in front of Jerome, is looking round with interest her attention being caught by all the latest fashions being worn by the kine all around them.

A red evening gown here, an exceptionally well cut jacket there, until the lights dim Valentina is in her own little world, eyes darting every which way and aura glowing with pleasure.

[Jean-Jacques]

Having chuckled his way through the performance Jean_jacques joins the applause at the curtain and rises to leave the theatre.

He casts a grin towards Elder Price,

“Elder Price, what a pleasure zat was, I am grateful for ze arrangement of zis for us.?”

“Now I don’t suppose zere ees a connection between zee play and ze plans for zis evening?”

He, quite out of character is quite relaxed and even ventures to cast a conspiratorial wink to the other brujah.

“Ah, alas i am not knowing zee way to ze ‘Ouse of wonders zat is ze place for ze apres?
