Name: Gavin Ruppetts
Gender: Male
Occupation: Assistant Manager (would like hot secretary lol)
Age: 22
Bio: At only 22 he's risen high in the business world as is now an assistant manager for one of the biggest businesses out there. Gavin is a country bread man who moved here only two years ago on the eve of his 20th birthday to begin a new life in the city. One of the most prosperous business minds in the country
Personality: Gavin is a great, kind guy in the office, caring and sweet - he's always one to fetch the newbie a coffee and hopes one day to marry the most beautiful woman of his dreams.

:: Name ::
Lotta Gustaf
:: Gender ::
Female
:: Occupation ::
Model
:: Age ::
22
:: Bio ::
Lotta was originally from Stockholm, born to a wealthy family. Her father was a traveling business man and she rarely saw him. Her mother was a lingerie model, but was caught in an adultery scandal with a male co-worker and her husband divorced her. Lotta wanted to study dance, but as there were few career opportunities and pay was slim, she failed. One of her friends suggested she go into modeling at the early age of 17. She's been modeling ever since.
:: Personality ::
Lotta is definately not a "keep to herself" kind of girl. If she has a point to make, she will make it. She is an Aries, and doesn't get into relationships. She might have casual romance, but she worries more about her job then some guy.

[stylequeen_SC]

thank you Anne!! :D

[Anne_SC]

No problem, I just wrote the beginning xD Now let's hope people will come and join ^_^

[DarkPhoenix]

I might join. It depends. What does each occupation entail, and what kind of stuff will we have to do in this RP, because (obviously) roleplaying? For example, will we have to put up a lot of pictures or something?

[PixieDust_fairy]

Can i reserve a spot as a model?

[cherryp3]

Name: Mickey Rumor
Gender: Male
Occupation: Model
Age: 18
Bio: Mickey Rumor was born in the slums of New York. His parents loved him above all else, but he was always indifferent to them. He much preferred to stay in his room and perform sometimes senseless tasks than have conversations with them or anyone else. However, when Mickey turned 11 he expressed interest in modeling at the local mall. His parents agreed, wanting their son to get out and see more of the world rather than stay in the confinements of his room all of the time. He applied, and he was accepted by the organizer of the event as one of the models. From there on he quickly rose to the top and was accepted by Queen's Clothes...
Personality: Mickey is a strange boy, a mixture of so many different pieces it’s impossible to tell what his true intentions are. He is detached from everyone else, and generally will not speak unless spoken to. He won't actively converse with anyone unless it will benefit him in the end. Power fascinates him, he wants it in his hands so that he can see how far one can take it. He knows how people work, and he is something of a genius when it comes to matters of the human mind. Mickey is highly secretive and never lets go of his videogames. He has a firm belief that horoscopes are 100% correct ever since he discovered that his personality matches his star sign (Scorpio) perfectly.

Well, there will be 'some' events. But not much, like fashion shows where models will have to post 1 picture. Which I hope doesn't really matter. There won't be much events where you have to post picutres. You can post pictures if you want though.

There will also be party's and you are free to post pictures if you want to.

And there will be other events like problems with the office.

Hope that helped :)

[Anne_SC]

[Is it ok if I use a young model that's like...just starting out? Say somewhere around 16 or 17? If not it's fine, I just need to know so I can finish the application. :}

I would prefer 18 and over.

Name:
Delilah Stanton

Gender:
Female

Occupation:
Secretary

Age:
24

Bio:
The only child of a teacher and a lawyer, Delilah promised herself early on that she would not lead the same boring, conventional life that her parents chose. She frequently travels and proudly displays various items acquired from numerous vacations. She is fond of cartoons, comedy movies, rock music, and animals. Delilah especially enjoys going clubbing on the weekends with her friends. She does not need glasses, but she wears them (with fake lenses) because she likes how they look on her. She is a part-time student at the local college, majoring in art. Single, no children.

Personality:
Very outgoing, goofy, and fun-loving, she's always up for a good time and tries to make sure that everyone's happy and laughing, whether it's quoting lines from "Office Space" or telling stories about the crazy stuff she did in high school. Delilah's biggest flaw-- she has a tendency to flirt with everyone.

Way ahead of you there, Anne. Using it now. :) And we shall have to see about the Gavin thing, eh? There might be other guys who are more her tastes.;)

[stylequeen_SC]

;) lol
and :omg: you aren't using your Big Brother avatar anymore *sobs*

[DarkPhoenix]

I like to rotate my avatars. Oh, and a little piece of trivia... Iris (from my Big Brother app) is basically an aged up version of Ophelia from my story, with natural-looking makeup and different hair.

[Slytherin-Girl]

Here goes Stylequeen ;) I quite like her myself, I'm going on a hunt for some more sexy secretary clothes right now ;)

Name: Amber Radisson

Gender: Female

Occupation: Secretary

Age:20

Bio: A University student majoring in Visual arts, Amber took the job as Secretary to help pay her tuition. Of course the extra bonus of all the eye
candy running around the building had no factor in that decision at all......

Personality: Don't even talk to her in the morning unless she's had some form of caffeine in her body, preferably tea but she'll take what she can get. After she's had her caffeine, she's generally a very agreeable person. However she has no patience for idiots/incompetence due to her prefectionistic tendancies.

No problem. I'm in need of Assistant managers, Designers and regular office workers.

[SpoiledxxAngel]

What do models do? If this is an office RP - why are the models in the office anyway? I mean, usually they'd be at photoshoots.. or spas or something.


P.S. I added in my headshot and edited the profile a bit.

Oh my, so many lovely men for Delilah to play with.;)

[butterflykiss]

Hahahahaa Secretary's have all the fun heheehe.

[DarkPhoenix]

Of course we do! Hehehehe. Lots of nice eye candy around for us to enjoy.

[cherryp3]

Alright, updated with Mickey's picture. :] This ought to be fun.

Oh, and is that too big? I tried to resize it via photobucket--but for some reason it didn't work. If it is, I can just go back and fix it.

[DarkPhoenix]

Ooh, Mickey's a cutie!

[butterflykiss]

Woah Mickey is hotness!!! *drools*

[DarkPhoenix]

Wanna split him? ;)

[cherryp3]

xD Why thank you, butterflykiss and DarkPhoenix! Hehe.

And Anne: SpoiledxxAngel has a good point. Not often do you see models in an office. I'm assuming they're there because they have...facilities there for them to stay at? Or something? :]

[DarkPhoenix]

We're practicing for when the RP actually starts. Hehehe.

[butterflykiss]

Hahahaaa DarkPhoenix, Nicolao says he doesn't want of Mickey, but me on the other hand....I think we could work out an arrangement to suit us both hahahahaa.

[DarkPhoenix]

*Gets into an argument with Delilah (my own character) over who gets which guys*

Well, since there's a studio built-in. (LOL) The models hang around the office.

[Anne_SC]

The beginning…

If you’re looking at yourself in the mirror, writing a letter, spilling a cup coffee on your best friend or foe, or just staring at your secretary, it all doesn’t matter. Because this is your first day! You suddenly stop doing what you were doing as you hear someone entering the room you’re in. The girl smiles shyly and places a letter on your desk. She slowly walks away, for one moment you ask yourself who she is, but then your eyes slowly move to the letter. You pick it up and open it.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Thesimsfreaky/QC/girl.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Thesimsfreaky/QC/letter.jpg





Well Hello,
My name is Felicia Queen and since we’ve just
opened I felt like throwing a party in my home.
And who would have guessed, you are invited.
I expect you to come, so don’t dare to miss it.
The location is the big villa on the top of the mountain
which you can see when you are in front of our lovely
building. You can’t miss it.
See you tonight,

Felicia Queen.



[You Can post random pictures of your sim on the party if you want, you don't have to. So don't feel like you have to xD]

[DarkPhoenix]

Question: Do we go through our workday first, or do we just go straight to playing out the party?

[Anne_SC]

(Straight to the party)

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah Stanton checked the letter again, then nodded. "Yeah, this is the place," she said to herself, looking up at the tall, grand building.

She opened her car door and stepped out, then brushed her clothes off, checking her reflection briefly to make sure that she looked okay. First impressions were, after all, important, and even moreso when you were working at a company reputed to have some of the most attractive men in the world working for it.

"Well, I guess this is it," Delilah said to herself. "No need to stress. It's just a snobby rich chick who's going to inherit the company her from her mommy. Don't worry about that. Think about the hot guys."

Feeling more cheerful and confident, Delilah strode up to the door, head held high and a smile on her lips. She was allowed entrance into the house and led to the room where the party would be held.

She helped herself to a drink and leaned against a wall, waiting to see who would show up.

http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p208/Phoenix666728/Delparty.jpg

[Anne_SC]

Cecilia Queen was applying make-up in the bathroom. She was almost done. Her casual black dress fitted her perfectly. She walked down de stairs and saw that someone had arrived. She took a drink herself and walked over. She sipped her drink and then said: "Welcome, your name is..?"

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah smiled as warmly as she could and held her hand out. "I'm Delilah Stanton, one of the secretaries. You must be Miss Queen. What a lovely house you have."

Way to go, Delilah! she thought to herself. Never let 'em see you sweat!

She looked the other woman over, eying her clothing. Not much in the way of color, Delilah thought, but it is good-quality material. This woman has taste.

Delilah was more interested in interacting with attractive men than her boss, but it was a necessary evil. She only hoped that it would be worthwhile.

[Anne_SC]

"Nice to meet you, Delilah. And thanks, my parents worked hard to get enough money to buy me whatever I wanted. But... I haven't got everything I wanted, like a husband." she smiled and sipped her drink again. "Loving your necklace."

[Slytherin-Girl]

Having gotten there nice and early (she despised people who were late) Amber was enjoying herself mingling with the various people at the party. That and enjoying all the eye candy wandering around.

She excused herself from the group she had been talking to to go and get something to drink. "Damn" she thought, taking her drink from the bartender "I've never seen so many gorgeous men in one workplace, even my boss is good looking. Talk about perks".

[DarkPhoenix]

"Excuse me," Delilah said to Cecilia, "but I think I see someone I know."

She hurried away from the woman, shuddering slightly. "Now, to find someone more interesting."

After a moment of thought, she decided to engage another woman in conversation. Delilah thought a moment, trying to think of the woman's name. "Let's see... I know she's a secretary..."

She made her way over to Amber and said, with a friendly smile, "Hi, I'm Delilah."

[Anne_SC]

Cecilia laughed a bit.
I'm already scaring people off she thought. She made her way to the kitchen. She took the plate with the food and brought it to the living room.

[Slytherin-Girl]

OOC: I know we don't have to, but I wanted an excuse to post a picture of Amber in her party dress :P (And it's darn near impossible to get her to smile -.-)

*********************************

"Oh, hello Delilah" said Amber, smiling back and taking a sip of her drink "I'm Amber. You're a secretary too right?"

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a286/hikari-schezar-bloom/amber.jpg

[DarkPhoenix]

"Yes, I am!" Delilah responded, with a grin. She gave Amber a knowing smile. "Looking for hot guys too, eh?"

She sipped her drink.

[Anne_SC]

Cecilia sat down and grabbed some food. She slowly ate it and walked away, looking for some good looking guys.

[Slytherin-Girl]

"Well at first I took the job to help pay for school" replied Amber, watching as a particularly attractive man walked past "But the eyecandy doesn't hurt one bit. Even my boss is pretty damn good looking"

[DarkPhoenix]

"Oh, same here," Delilah replied, eying the attractive man.

She whispered to Amber, "Oh my God, there's so many hot guys! It's like a buffet of hotties, and I don't know which one I want to try first!"

[Anne_SC]

"I would wait untill you're at the office again, spill some coffee over him, trip right in front of him or whatever, such things always work."

[Slytherin-Girl]

"NO thank you" said Amber, wrinkling her nose "I'd rather not have a guy think I'm a clumsy oaf who can't even handle a coffee cup"

[Anne_SC]

"Well, you can do it with a glass of water to"

[DarkPhoenix]

She eyed Cecilia and said, "My, aren't you bitter... are we secretaries not allowed to have our little chats? Or do you consider all male employees to be your property? I didn't know we had harems here."

[Slytherin-Girl]

"And besides" said Amber, hoping Delilah hadn't just gotten them in big trouble "It's not the beverage that bothers me, it's the clumsyness. If I have to resort to having a guy think I'm like that just to get his attention I'd rather find someone more worth my time"

[Anne_SC]

"Hey, i'm just trying to have a conversation here, not to stop it, there are alot of hot guys here and i'm not so good at jokes."

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah eyed Cecilia suspiciously and then, after a moment, said, with a wink and grin, "Then can you point Amber and me in the direction of some hotties to chat up? We won't take all their attention, you know. We just want to be friendly."

She paused a moment, then added, "By the way, great refreshments you chose."

[Anne_SC]

"Thank you, well, the young male model, I think his name is Mickey, he hasn't arrived yet but he really is good-looking."

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah smiled. "I think I saw him around the office. If he's the one you mean, yeah, he's pretty cute. You seem to have pretty good taste in guys."

[Anne_SC]

"Well, believe me, if I really had a good taste in guys, I would have been married with one of them." she laughed. "I guess i'm not the long-lasting relationshop type."

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah chuckled and said, "You're the same age I am. Don't worry about getting too serious just yet. You're still young. I bet you'll find someone."

She gave Cecilia a sisterly punch on the shoulder and said, "Come on, we'll do some hottie watching together when more guests show up."

[Slytherin-Girl]

"I'm not sure myself" said Amber, glancing around the room "Although I don't think I'd go for Mickey. Call me weird, but I like my men to be at least my age"

[Anne_SC]

"Yeah me to" she said to Amber. "But, he is hot"

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah winked at Amber. "But don't you know how fun it is to teach the younger guys the ropes? Besides, he's 18, he's legal."

[AtropaMandragora]

Ack. Another RP I simply must enter. *lol*

[Slytherin-Girl]

"Hey, I'm not judging if you want to go for younger men Delilah" she said with a laugh "I just like mine a little older with more experience"

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah grinned broadly and replied, "Eh, I don't care too much, as long as he's not way older than me or still in high school. I don't like 'em too old or too young. Around 18-30 is my preferred range."

[Anne_SC]

((LOL @ Atropa, I saw you watching the topic))

"I've got to agree with Amber, Delilah. It just feels weird to date a guy who's at least a year younger."

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah sipped her drink and shrugged. "Fine, suit yourselves. More for me, then."

[Anne_SC]

She laughed. "Ok then"

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah looked pleased. "I got you to laugh. I hope that's a good thing, because I'd hate to get on your bad side early on."

[Anne_SC]

"Yeah, I can be really mean..." she said casually.

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah took another sip of her drink and said, "Eh, I can be too. Maybe that's why my friends call me Fangs. I like to make people laugh and feel happy, but if you mess with my friends or make me really mad... well, let's just say... you wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

She gave Cecilia a charming smile and added, "But that doesn't happen very often, thank God!"

[Anne_SC]

"Good, I will try and not make it happen often to."

[DarkPhoenix]

"And I shall try not to anger you any more than necessary."

[Slytherin-Girl]

"I suppose I'm glad I tend to get along with just about anyone" said Amber "Just as long as you don't get between me and my caffeine in the morning. Because then, boss or no boss, I have to take you out"

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah giggled and said, "Well, I shall have to remember to bring some extra drinks with caffeine every day just for you. We can't have you cranky and biting people's heads off, now can we?"

Delilah thought a moment, then added, "Heck, I'll bring donuts too, once in a while!"

[AtropaMandragora]

"Shoot.. shoot.. SHOOT.." Cilla mumbled as she stopped the car and stepped out.

Okay, so maybe she lost the invitation. Okay, and maybe she forgot how to get the party.. how could she miss it? And then the gas ran out. Perfect.

"The best way to start your new job, Cilla, your first and only modeling job," she thought, sarcastically, slamming the car door and letting her heels click against the sidewalk.

Pushing the double doors open; she found herself in a wonderful decorated room. There were intricate designs on the walls of gold and ruby red. A carpet; somewhat large that matched the walls. The floors were a warm beige and they were marble. The only furniture that seemed to be in there was a beautiful chandelier, a shining coffee table and sculptures of vases and people.

"Wow," she breathed, sighing nervously.

She looked at the doors on the sides and the double doors in front of her. Which way was the party?

[Anne_SC]

Cecilia sipped from her drink again. "Oh whatever" she said and drank it all.

[Slytherin-Girl]

"They are awfully good drinks Cecilia" said Amber, sipping her own long island iced tea "You certainly have a great bartender".

[Anne_SC]

"Yep, we have, my mother actually just took care of the rooms and I had to make sure there was food and drinks."

[cherryp3]

[n_n Yeay for Jericho! Him and Mickey sound like they might just get along.]

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a296/Meikomeia/mickeylook.png

Bleep, bip, bleep...

"Master Rumor."

Beep, bop, beep.

"Master Rumor."

The poor old man driving the limo was having a difficult time trying to get his passenger to just look up at him. For quite some time they had been sitting in the parking lot, with nothing but the sound of the young man's hand held video game to soothe the biting silence. Normally the old man would just let the boy finish his blasted video game, but this was more than a regular party. This was something of a little trick of sorts, a place for the workers to be evaluated--at least the elderly man assumed that was what it would be. If that was the case then Mickey would be in severe trouble.

“Mas-”


The boy finally glanced up, and the music which pronounced itself signified that he had just won whatever level he was on. What interrupted the poor chauffeur's calling was nothing more than a simple ‘hmm…’ and the raven-haired lad was opening the door and stepping out into the parking lot. His video game was still in his hands when he slammed the door behind him.

Mickey Rumor was a strange boy. He’d never had a friend. Ever. [Unless you counted his pet rock he had in the first grade. They’d been quite inseparable for about a year.] Other people had considered him one of their companions, but feelings were never mutual. He was emotionless in some cases. It was almost like he was missing the feeling component that was installed into the human mind when they were born. Like there was nothing there but the need to observe and learn, rather than communicate and form bonds. Looking through his eyes, friendships were pointless except for gaining social standing over others. In that aspect friendships were very important.

He held his video game in one hand, and scavenged about in his pocket with the other. The gold lettering of the invitation glittered in the dim light cast just aside the door as he pulled the crumpled mass out. The man there took his invitation with a disdainful look at its tattered state and Mickey entered. Already he seemed bored out of his mind. His finger slid the power switch on his game over, and the soft beeps and bips were conquering his senses again. His head tucked down, his hair cast into his eyes, and he began to walk, easily avoiding oncoming traffic as his little man dug his sword into the mutant zombies again and again and again.

Jericho wasn't happy. At all. Ever since high school he'd had a problem with authority, and so it came as no surprise that the invitation he had recieved didn't sit well with him. Being told, no, ordered to show up at the Queen mansion, annoyed him to no end.
But, he did like to party, so this time he'd decided to take the good with the bad. And just to show these Queen ladies that he did things how and when he pleased, he was an hour late upon arrival.

The dark grey Aston Martin rolled up the driveway and came to a halt, the loud rock music dying along with the roaring engine. Stepping out, Jericho glanced up at the building, looking rather disgruntled and unimpressed. It was a lovely house really, but he was still in somewhat of a bad mood, and thus not too enthusiastic about anything there.

He ascended the stairs and handed the invitation to a man who tried his best not to show what he was thinking. He failed miserably. Apparently Jericho wasn't dressed like he'd be expected to, with his messy hair, leather pants and mesh-covered tank top, all in black. No surprise there. It was most intentional.
He flashed the man a crooked grin, and entered.

[Anne_SC]

Cecilia saw Mickey walking in and then Jericho. She walked up to him.
"Hello, you must be Jericho" she smiled.

[cherryp3]

New High Score! declared itself across the page as his points tallied themselves, coming to a standstill at the new height. He hit the X button, and the game continued on to the next level, casting a bluish glow across his features. He almost, almost grinned. The most difficult level was coming up. Even he, the video game god, had a difficult time winning that level. Mickey always appreciated a good challenge. The pixilated man on the screen swung his sword to the left and nailed an advancing bat, and at the press of the O button he whipped out an arrow and struck an approaching zombie. Two more zombies took the place of the other one and charged with horrid moans at the scruffy man brandishing his sword.

Now Mickey didn’t know where he was going, and instead of winding around people as he had been before, people had to dart out of his way. His subconscious was tuned to the sounds of the party, particularly the sounds of the startled women who clucked like hens at his passing. However, the rest of his mind was inside of the game, within the pixilated body of that little man in the programming. Not once was he harmed as the zombies leapt at him in attempts to suck the life from him. He deflected them far too quickly for that. Soon, he’d vanquished probably over a hundred of them and the ground began to quake.

A demon wreathed in flame and accented by accessories of human bones clawed apart the earth and rose. Mickey sent his little man charging at the demon, swinging his sword haphazardly as he went. It was at this same moment in time that a strangely dressed man had ascended the stairway. Before the man could make a move, Mickey had bumped right into him.

The boy staggered back a few steps, and looked up with hints of shock laced in his otherwise blank expression. He stared at the strange man for a moment, taking in his clothes, the scruffy hair, the piercing cobalt eyes. He was attractive, he mentally noted, and then glanced back down at his game. His eyes widened slightly when he saw that the little scarlet bar at the top had decreased a little, leaving nothing but a vacant bracket. The little numbers just underneath it read: 450/500. His golden brown eyes slowly trailed back up to the man, that vacant look still on his face.

“You lost me 50 HP,” he stated in an airy tone. His comment hadn’t been so much of a derogatory statement as it had been an informatory one. He thought the man might like to know that he’d caused him trouble. His eyes chased across the man’s attire again, and he commented, “Weird,” and caught the man square in the eye, “I like it.” Such a compliment was very rare from Mickey Rumor, but then again, he usually didn’t speak to strangers at all.

Soon after his statement, a woman had come up. Mickey stared at her for a moment, and then looked at the man.

"Hello, you must be Jericho," she spoke with a smile.

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah looked over from guy to guy, not sure which to speak to first.

Finally, after some hesitation, she walked over to Mickey and smiled charmingly. "Hello, I'm Delilah," she said to him.

She glanced over at Cecilia, wondering how much of a threat she would be.

[Pandaness]

Lotta walked in late. As usual. She thought it would be tacky to show up early for a party.

She walked in and could already tell how unprofessional this place was going to be. Well, this will have to do until I get back to Sweden. What kind of modeling agency throws a party the first day anyway? Well, it would give her a chance to know what she was dealing with.

A flirty secretary-type was running around greeting everyone, especially the men models. This didn't suprise her. She knew that people taking summer jobs wouldn't be taking this seriously. Although the men were very handsome, she wasn't going to start a romance. Unless, of course, there was one.

Finally she decided to make her way over to the snacks, disgusted already. She grabbed the ladel out of the glass punch bowl and poored it into a plastic cup. She just stood in the corner, occasionally sipping some of the fruity liquid, waiting for people to come to her.

(( Going to get a picture up soon! I know you all want to see this disgruntled party-goer

Oh, and darn you cherryp3 for always making super cute characters ))

[cherryp3]

"Hello, I'm Delilah," a red headed woman then advanced towards Mickey, her hand outstretched. He regarded the woman's hand carefully. Shake her hand, and he could find himself in a lot of trouble. What would she have to give him later? She appeared to be a simple secretary or something along those lines. Such a person wouldn't have much to offer him. He inwardly decided not to shake her hand, and then looked at her eyes. Her red rimmed glasses reflected the lighting around them, so he had a hard time deciding if her eyes were delicate blue or sparkling gray. He didn't like that, he liked to be able to see people's eyes. They were the best feature a person could have. If you had ugly eyes, well, you were just ugly.

He then looked back down at his game, and stabbed the demon's hand as it tried to harm him with an earthquake made by pounding his mighty fists against the ground. "Mickey," was all he said.

[EDIT: xD Thank you Pandaness!]

[PixieDust_fairy]

Getting ready for the party

Chloe slipped into her skimpy little black dress and sat down at her vantity. She couldn't wait for the party to start, she wondered what types of people she would meet there. Chloe was one of the new models for the company and didn't know very many people in the building. She picked up her mascara and applied it gently to the top of her eyelashes. After she was finished putting on her eye make up she put on some "pouty" lip gloss and walked towards her closet.

Chloe pushed a button on the side wall of her closet and all of her shoes came forward. That was one great investment, building a whole sliding shoe drawer. She had money to wase, so why couldn't she have the stupidest stuff?

She pulled the curlers out of her golden blonde hair and set them down on the counter. Chloe shook her head so the curls would fall perfectally into place. She couldn't help, but to think that she looked absolutely stunning. This would be the first night she met everybody in the company and she wanted to make a great first impression.

Chloe walked down to the second floor of her house and searched for the perfect jewlry. When she was finished she walked down to the main level and grabbed her purse and car keys. The directions to the house were inside of her purse, and already programed into her GPS system in her car.

She took one last look in the mirror before walking out of her mansion then headed towards her drive way. When she was in her car she headed off towards the house that she was told to go to. Everytime she would hit a red light she would open up her mirror and look at herself. She was gorgous, with her shimmery eyeshadow and beautiful locks.


Arrival

When Chloe arrived she made sure a Valet took care of her jet black lambo. She wasn't worried at all, because if it got wrecked or stolen she had plenty of money to buy another one. She slid the valet a 100 dollar bill and winked at him. She pulled her dress down a little, because her thong was starting to show. She didn't want to look sleazy so she pulled her dress down as far as it would go (which was about mid thigh).

Chloe then walked in the house looking like well a super model and was ready to mingle.

[Anne_SC]

Cecilia watched all the people entering. All a bit too late, but she didn't really care. As far as she knew, people come late alot. She took a sip from the drink she just grabbed.

[BeautifulWeirdo]

"Oh my god can't you drive even slower?" Jayden yelled at his driver and shook his head. "I wanna get their before it's over!" "Calm down Mister, we'll be there in time!" "In time? Have you looked at your watch you idiot?" he yelled and was about to loose his temper, but that guy finally drove faster and he arrived a few minutes later....

As he got out he looked at the guy again. "I'll make my mother fire you, she doesn't pay you for being slow!".

Finally he walked in and looked around...

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n23/rightwhereuwantme/jaydn.jpg

[Pandaness]

Eye-ing people from the corner, Lotta spotted a new girl coming in. She instantly disliked her. Perhaps it wasn't the best quality she had, but she was always quick to judge people by their appearance.

She was wearing a skin tight black dress. Probably a fellow model, one that she wouldn't get along with. Peering at her top to bottom, she looked like one that thought she was all that. Lotta knew this type were horrible models. Real models wouldn't have to wear push-up bras, lip gloss, unaturally curly hair, and a short dress. Real models could wear a rag and dirt and make it look fabulous.

So, she didn't approach her. If she was lucky, maybe she could avoid her at the party all together. Time would only tell.

[Anne_SC]

Cecilia almost immediately walked over to Jayden.
"Heya, how are you doing. I'm guessing you're one of the models aren't you? You look like one. Oh wait no! You're Jayden right? One of the designers?"

[DarkPhoenix]

As if sensing Mickey's thoughts, Delilah smiled and removed her colorful glasses from her face. Her eyes were a rather attractive light blue.

"These aren't real, by the way," she said. "I just like how I look in them. But then again, I'm weird like that."

She put her glasses back onto her face and sipped her drink.

[PixieDust_fairy]

((Oooh I can sence some hatrid!))

Chloe glanced around the party. There were tons of people there to talk to. She looked around and saw a girl glaring at her, she didn’t know what she had done, but she decided to ignore it. Chloe glanced towards the door and saw a guy walk in. He was totally dreamy! Her heart started to race and she pushed some of her hair behind her ear and calmly walked towards him.

“Hello I’m Chloe Williams, I’m a new model in this industry. And you are?” She smiled sweetly and brushed some hair back…trying to make herself look better. His eyes shimmered and made her melt inside, she hoped he wasn’t a designer, because that would mean he was most likely gay. She hoped that he was another model just like her and they could hit it off automatically.

[BeautifulWeirdo]

Jayden looked at Cecilia and smiled. "Well yes I'm Jayden, but I'm taking that as he compliment!" he said and winked. "So you're Cecillia right?" he asked and thought that she was pretty attractive for a woman in her postion.

Right after that a girl talked to him and introduced herself as Chole Williams.
"I'm Jayden..." he said. "Jayden Bell, one of the designers!".

[Anne_SC]

"Yes, I am. I took a look at your portfolio and those clothes were absolutely great! So I knew I wanted to pick you." she smiled. "My mother didn't. But she's well... she's going to quit so I could choose."

[PixieDust_fairy]

Chloe wrinkled her nose. What rotten luck, but perhaps he was straight. She had met very little straight designer males, but maybe she would be lucky just once. She flashed him another smile and contemplated on ways on how to ask him if he was straight or gay...It was difficult, because she didn't want to end up insulting him.

"So Jayden what's your relationship status?" She hoped it didn't make her sound desperate, but instead like she was thinking up good topics to chat about. Chloe crossed her arms over her chest and waited for an answer from Jayden.

[AtropaMandragora]

Oooookay... Had just typed up a reply for Cecilia, only to post it and discovered she had left Jericho... :( Not nice.

[Anne_SC]

((AWWW I thought you left, i'm so sorry, we can just imagine that they're in a little group.))

[BeautifulWeirdo]

Jayden first looked at Cecilia and smiled. "I'm glad you liked them and picked me! And well mothers just don't know what's good" he joked. "My mom isn't a fan of my clothing either but well maybe they're just old fashioned!".

"So Jayden what's your relationship status?"
That Chole girl asked and he had to smile a little cause he felt in like one of those crappy Telenovelas.
"Well I'm single at the moment... my boyfriend just left me two weeks ago and the girl I dated for a week after he left me turned out to be a psycho!" he said with a sigh.

[Pandaness]

Lotta could tell the girl she has insulted psychologically was going to stay away from her. She had succesfully threatened her. This was good.

She saw Cecilia, her new boss talking to who seemed attractive enough to be a model, but was most likely a designer. Then she saw the sleazy girl bouncing up to him asking him a personal question almost directly after introducing herself. Classy.

Since the designer boy was going to be annoyed by the idiot girl, Lotta decided to go over and introduce herself to Cecilia. They had met once before, but it wasn't very formal.

She walked up to her and held her hand out, offering a sweet smile. "Hello, I'm Lotta Gustaf, one of your new models. I look forward to working with you!"

[Anne_SC]

Cecilia smiled. "I guess you're right, she said to Jayden." not really caring about what he said to Chloe.

She then turned to Lotta and shook her hand. "Hello! Ooh, I remember you! Yes, I am looking forward to it too."

[cherryp3]

Mickey glanced up, and his brow was tucked a little farther down, narrowing his eyes slightly. This Delilah woman might cause him trouble, she seemed to be the persistent type. She grabbed his attention when she pulled off her glasses, and he saw that she did, indeed, have a rather pretty set of jewels gleaming there. It still wasn't enough to keep his attention for more than a few seconds, however.

"These aren't real, by the way," she informed him as she placed them back on the bridge of her nose. "I just like how I look in them. But then again, I'm weird like that." As she concluded her statement, blood showered everywhere against the screen of the game when Mickey stabbed the demon in the heart. It screeched in pain, and collapsed over on itself. Again that same sign blinked upon the screen 'New High Score!' and those little numbers tallied up.

"That's interesting," he said, and glanced over at Jericho. He was more interested in that strange man, however. He was much different than the other people swirling in the masses, and stuck out like a sore thumb. Things like that intrigued him. He turned off the game, and fumbled in his pockets for a new cartridge to pop into the game.

[Pandaness]

Cecilia then turned to Lotta. "Hello! Ooh, I remember you! Yes, I am looking forward to it too."

Well, at least she was interested. She looked intelligent, without having to try. But she also seemed easily distracted, or maybe she was just excited. "Oh yes. I know this is not the time to really discuss it, but I was itching to know what kind of gigs we would be doing," Lotta asked. She hoped she would want to talk about it now.

[Anne_SC]

[:o I'm dutch. Is it like tasks? or what?]

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah frowned and bit her lower lip. This kid was clearly more interested in video games than he was in socializing.

"Excuse me," she said, taking her leave.

She found a chair several feet away and sat down and decided that if someone wanted to talk to her, he or she would have to come to her.

[Pandaness]

[[ Yes, that's what I ment. ^^ ]]

[PixieDust_fairy]

((Holy crap is everybody going to hate Chloe? lol))

"Well I'm single at the moment... my boyfriend just left me two weeks ago and the girl I dated for a week after he left me turned out to be a psycho"He sighed after he spoke.

This wasn't that bad...he wasn't 100% gay, but instead he was bisexual. Chloe didn't feel to bad now, she actually felt happy. She herself would never even think about being bisexual, but it was his sexual orientation and it was absolutely his choice. She briefly pulled up her top and looked at him again.

"Oh so am i...My husband died a year ago....Surprisingly i've gotten over it, because i figured he would want me to move on." She sighed. Inside she was still upset about her husband died, but Chloe knew that she needed to move on with her life.

[AtropaMandragora]

Having stopped in the doorway to take in the scene, Jericho spotted some familiar faces. Most of them models, and most of them the glamorous type. Meaning, not Jericho's type.

As he stood there scanning the room, a young boy walked right into him, completely engulfed by a video game. But instead of apologizing, he looked Jericho up and down and then informed him "You lost me 50 HP". Jericho quirked a brow. He didn't know just what the hell an HP was, but assumed it had to do with the game.
Again the boy looked at him from top to bottom, and Jericho did the same in return. It was a handsome lad. No, pretty was the word. A model for sure. Jericho even thought he could recall seeing him somewhere. In a commercial on TV, or some magazine. Or maybe a fashion show? Hell, it could be from anywhere. Jericho had been in the business long enough for faces of the people he met to blend together into a blur. He'd stopped trying.
“Weird” was the boy's conclusion about Jericho's appearance. “I like it.”

A vague smile appeared on Jericho's lips, but before he could reply a woman approached. A redheaded beauty. That face Jericho actually remembered: Cecilia Queen.

"Hello, you must be Jericho", she said with a smile.

No reaction to his clothing. Good. Maybe these ladies weren't as uptight as he'd first thought.

"Yep", he merely replied.
She'd most likely assume she needed no introduction, and so he didn't ask. Instead, seeing that someone else had grabbed her attention, he headed over to the punch bowl.
Alcohol. Jericho's best friend at these fashion party thingies. Well, this one at least.

[Pandaness]

Eavesdropping on the girl she had found out to be known as Chloe, she found out that she was a widow. And she was already ready to hit on every guy she saw? Sad sad person she was. And what a boring name to. Average. There were girls she went to school with that were natural beauties, prettier than her. That conversation was already disgusting her so she turned to the girl known as "Chloe."

"Hello, I must have not met you yet. You're Chloe, right? Well I'm Lotta Gustaf, and I'm a model here. And," She said with the slightest bit of distaste, "you're a model as well?"

[[ I'm sorry pixie, but Lotta's just a hater. ]]

[Anne_SC]

She smiled at Lotta. "There will be fashion shows, magazine spreads, and if we really get big, billboards and stuff."

She saw Jericho walk over to the table with the drinks.
"Excuse me" she said to Lotta and walked over to Jericho.

"Sorry about that, I just feel like greeting everyone." she smiled.
"I guess you already know but my name is Cecilia."

[DarkPhoenix]

Still sitting in her chair, Delilah drank yet another drink (her third of the evening, if truth be told).

Great party of one I'm having here, she thought bitterly to herself. At least there's a full bar here!

She watched the other partygoers silently, amused by their antics.

[BeautifulWeirdo]

"Oh I'm sorry that has to be horrible" he said, after Chloe told him her husband died a year ago.
He could relate to that, well kinda... when he was in High School his girlfriend back then died.
He was 17 so it was that age where they dreamed of going to college togehter and marry after that and all that stuff...
She wanted to be a designer too and always loved his work, so that even pushed him more to make it his profession.

"Well... I kinda know how it feels" he sighed. "We were not married but...".

He told Chole the whole story and needed a drink after that.

He went alone cause Chloe already talked to a girl named Lotta.

[cherryp3]

Mickey sighed, even the new game was getting old. He knew he'd chased that woman off, part of him had done so on purpose. It was just that he hated people, with a passion. They were vile, sick creatures that were fun to observe, but not to interact with. His mother had told him again and again to just try and accept other people. He refused. It wasn't that he didn't want to connect with others, he just couldn't. He was lacking something, or maybe he was just that egotistic that he felt others weren't worthy of conversing with him? It was most likely a bit of both.

He tossed his game idly to the side, and it clattered on the ground. He'd buy a new one if he really felt like it, but for the next couple of months, he knew it would be useless to him. Might as well get rid of it. He yawned, and made his way to the punch bowl, poured himself a drink. He lingered there for a moment as he scanned the room. It was quite packed, he noted. It would be hard for him to find a secluded place to sit.

[PixieDust_fairy]

Chloe turned towards the girl who was talking to her. She already didn't like her, she had the sassy attitude that made models look like sh**. She wasn't going to lie to herself though this girl was pretty, but Chloe wasn't envious of her. Inside of her she desperately wanted to wring her hands around this girls neck, but she didn't know what kind of power she had in this industry, and she didn't want to cause a big scene. Chloe forced the words out of her mouth.

"Erm...yes i'm a model." Fury was bubbling up inside of her and she deeply wanted it to stop. Jayden walked off after he told her about his girlfriend dying and she did feel bad, but she never really got a chance to reply to to what he had told her.

[AtropaMandragora]

While pouring himself a drink, Cecilia appeared by Jericho's side once again.
"Sorry about that, I just feel like greeting everyone", she said with a smile.

"It's alright", Jericho replied while sipping his drink.

"I guess you already know but my name is Cecilia", the readhead said, just as that young boy that had bumped into him also came over to the punch bowl.
Jericho found himself wondering if the boy was even old enough to drink. But then again, did he care if he wasn't?
Nope.
He himself had been drinking way before he was allowed to, and it hadn't hurt him, had it?

"Uhm, yeah", he said to Cecilia, his eyes lingering on the boy for a few moments before turning to Cecilia. "One of the Queens, right?"

[PixieDust_fairy]

((Here's what Chloe Showed up looking like just so you guys know))

http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/3166/chloewilliamsar9.jpg

[Anne_SC]

"One of the Queens, right?"

"Yes I am" she smiled. "I'm guessing you like alcohol?" she giggled. Since this was clearly the part of the table where the alcohol was.

[AtropaMandragora]

"Yes I am", Cecilia replied, and after a look at the glass he was holding she added with a slight giggle: "I'm guessing you like alcohol?"

Jericho gave her an odd look, but smiled, even if it was a bit apprehensively. Did she have an ulterior motive with such a question? She was after all the soon-to-be-boss, and this party was surely a way for her and her mother to make a few 'discoveries' of the people they worked with.

"Well," he said. "I usually seem to get tounge-tied at parties like this, and I've found that a drink or two helps."

[Anne_SC]

"I usually seem to get tounge-tied at parties like this, and I've found that a drink or two helps."

"I must say that you're right. Alcohol does help" she took a glass of champagne and took a large sip.

[SpoiledxxAngel]

_______

Cilla's stomach tightened as she looked around the room. There were women pratically hugging the guys in the room, even the oddly black dressed ones - not if she has anything against them. Then there were more women pratically hugging more guys - y'know, maybe being a writer wouldn't be that bad..

"Shut up, inner conscience!" she muttered to herself, scolding her thoughts and she went in search for something to drink - perhaps wine or iced tea. It was already hard to land a modeling job, let alone moving here - she couldn't give up now.

Looking around the room once more, she picked up a glass of iced tea and grimaced at sight. She could easily tell that she wasn't going to get along that well...

"Maybe I should go introduce myself to Cecilia, or maybe someone else.." she found herself saying. "or I could sit and be the loner of the party. Yay."

She sighed and continued sipping her iced tea.

[cherryp3]

[I've got to go. :] I need to finish getting ready to go to a friend's house. Feel free to move Mickey around while I'm gone if something interesting happens or if you want to talk to him, just don't have him be a chatter boxor be overly friendly. ;} I wouldn't want him to miss anything.]

Drink in hand, Mickey wandered to the back of the room, which seemed to be the most secluded area around. There were some chairs lining the edge of the room, and he chose to sit in the one pinned between the back wall and the right one. He sipped thoughtfully on the drink as he settled back, and made a face immediately after the punch touched the tip of his tongue. What the hell? He gagged slightly and looked at the liquid. Poison! No, no one would have spiked the punch here, besides, people would be dropping like flies. His nostrils flared as he realized what the potent taste had been. Of course, alcohol. He sighed, and continued to chug it down. He wasn’t a fan of anything alcoholic, it didn’t do him any good. Simply dulled his senses and put his guard down, something that often proved risky for him. Regardless, he didn’t mind it, he actually liked wine and drank it often. But it was a strange taste mixed with the punch. He wasn’t sure if he was so crazy about it. He set the drink down on the floor and watched with a void expression as the people began to converse amongst one another. Seemed that they were having a good time. Mickey only wished someone would try something a little more daring, though.

[BeautifulWeirdo]

Jayden didn't liked to talk about his girlfriends death, cause even it was 7 years ago, it still hurt him a lot.

He went over to the drinks and sat down somewhere.

As he looked around he figured that everyone was quiet good looking! The ladys and the boys. But at the other hand they kinda had too in that business.

Whatever, he thought and took a sip of his drink.
It looked like it was going to be fun to work with those people.

[AtropaMandragora]

"I must say that you're right" Cecilia said and took a large sip from her glass of champagne. "Alcohol does help."

Jericho nodded slowly, and again scanned the room. More people had arrived. Models, secretaries, designers... It was all one big melting pot of fashion people. Some seemed to be enjoying themselves, flirting and whatnot, while others looked as uncomfortable as he himself felt. And then there was the boy, who simply looked bored.

[Anne_SC]

"So... do you want to sit down or something?"

[AtropaMandragora]

"Actually," Jericho replied to Cecilia's question about sitting down. "I should probably to try... mingle..."

The word, not often uttered by Jericho, came hesitantly, as if he was trying to speak another language.
He gave Cecilia a quick smile, and added:
"You know... To take advantage of the alcohol buzz."

[LilacBaby]

Chelsea was so nervous. It was her chance to show what she's got and that she can be a top designer. She hopped into the shower, shaking.

"Geez, Chelsea, snap out of it. It's going to be fine"

After her shower she put her hair into a fancy up-do and slipped on her BCBG dress with Victoria Secret pumps and walked out the door.

***

When she arrived at the party she spotted out a few very hot people, but first to spot out her boss and make the best first impression she's ever made!

[Anne_SC]

She smiled back. "Ok then." she took another large sip.

[SpoiledxxAngel]

((I'm sorry if you were going to talk to Cecilia.. just go ignore me.. XD)

___

"OKAY," she whispered, placing the emptied glass cup on the table. "Maybe people here are really nice.."

She spotted a woman who had just arrived.. with a fancy hairdo and a nice dress. To her, it seemed like she was one of the designers.. Chelsea, was it?
It didn't matter. She picked up her courage and walked over casually, almost but not quite model-like.

"Um.. hi," Cilla smiled at Chelsea, "I'm Cilla, Cilla Reyes. I'm a model here. Are you one of the designers?"

[LilacBaby]

"Yes, I am. I'm Chelsea Dane. Nice to meet you. You definitely look like one of the models here. You're gorgeous." Wow, nice first impression.

"Oh um, will you excuse me for one moment?"

[AtropaMandragora]

The room was quickly getting too crowded for Jericho. H'ed said he'd try to mingle. He'd even promised himself to. But with these many people, he just couldn't. They were actually starting to get on his nerves, without even talking directly to him. It was just the constant chatter, the growing murmur of voices, that tugged at his patience.
Emptying his glass in one swift move, he quickly refilled it and headed for the terrace.
Stepping outside, he felt the cool night air against his flushed face, and it instantly calmed him. He inhaled deeply through the nose, and walked over to the thick stone railing. Gazing out over the enormous garden, he sat his glass down on the smooth surface, and leaned down against the sturdy fence.

[SpoiledxxAngel]

_________

"Oh um, will you excuse me for one moment?"

"Sure?" Cilla answered, and Chelsea walked off.

Making sure no one was around, she slapped her forehead. "Oh lord.."

[Anne_SC]

Cecilia saw that Jericho dissapeared after she took a sip. She saw him walking over to the terrace. She walked after him.

"It's getting hot in there, lots of people..." she said. "If you don't want me here..." she didn't end her sentence.

[LilacBaby]

Chelsea saw this woman who looked like the daughter of the woman that inerviewed and figured that was her new boss, Cecilia.
She noticed she was having a conversation so she paused and waited for a moment.

"Hello, Cecilia. I'm Chelsea Dane one of your designers." She put out her hand and hoped she was right.

[Anne_SC]

"Hey, i'll meet you later, Ok?" she said to Chelsea, sounding as nice as she could possibly sound.

[AtropaMandragora]

"It's getting hot in there, lots of people..." a voice behind Jericho said, and by this time he had learned to recognize it.
He glanced to the side to see Cecilia stop next to him.

"If you don't want me here...", she said, her voice trailing off, leaving the comment hanging in the air.

But before Jericho could reply, another woman approached, a designer introducing herself as Chelsea Dane.
Jericho was actually kind of relieved. He wasn't quite sure how to answer Cecilia without putting his foot in it. He didn't mind her company as a woman, but as his boss, she kind of made him feel uneasy. He didn't know if she was talking to him because she simply wanted to, or if she was trying to dig up some possible dirt on him. She seemed cunning enough.


(((ooc: Anne - I'm gonna have to go soon, so don't feel obliged to talk to Jericho. :) )))

[LilacBaby]

"Um, yes, sure, later." Chelsea tried to sound as un embarassed as possible.

"Very smart Chelsea." She thought to herself.

Chelsea went off to go find Cilla. She felt so bad about what she did earlier, but she did want to find her boss as soon as possible.

She finally spotted her after minutes of wandering. "Hey, Cilla. I'm terribly sorry about what I did moments ago. I just wanted a moment to find our boss."

[Anne_SC]

"I always love to stand, or sit here. Just staring at the water or looking at the sky."


((I've got to go too xD))

[SpoiledxxAngel]

____

"Hey, Cilla. I'm terribly sorry about what I did moments ago. I just wanted a moment to find our boss."

Cilla smiled. It DID make sense; after all, she wanted to go meet Cecilia too.. but decided against it. Seeing that she was occupied and all.

"Oh, it's okay.." she said, literally biting her tounge for her idiocy. She guessed she wasn't a people person after all. "So..."

[AtropaMandragora]

Jericho followed Cecilia's gaze, and nodded. He could see why. The surroundings were lovely. He could even imagine having a place just like this, once he could afford it. Actually, he probably could afford it, if he sold the place where he lived now, but he liked it too much. It wasn't luxurious or glamorous, but that was part of what he liked about it. It was simple, without being shabby, and it matched his personality. It was home, pure and simple.
But a place like this would be great for when he wanted to get away for a while, and just enjoy the space and the fresh air.

"Yeah...", he said, tilting his head back to look at the stars. "It's beautiful."

[LilacBaby]

"Is this your first modeling job?"

Chelsea decided she should start making friends any why not with Cilla, right? Besides she is very nice.

[SpoiledxxAngel]

_______

"Is this your first modeling job?"

Cilla blushed furiously. Yeah, it was - this made her felt very amateur-ish, but there was a first time for everything.

"Yep," she replied to Chelsea, almost proud of the fact.

[Anne_SC]

She looked at him for a moment, and then quickly looked over the sea again. How can someone so rough-looking, be so nice.

[LilacBaby]

"Oh thank god, it's not just me. I thought I would be the only one who gets a job like this straight out of school or whatever." Chelsea was so releived to know she wasn't the only one who was new at working in a place like this.

[SpoiledxxAngel]

________

"Oh thank god, it's not just me. I thought I would be the only one who gets a job like this straight out of school or whatever." Chelsea replied.

Cilla nodded respectively, brushing her hair to the side.

"So you just graduated college or something?" she asked.

[LilacBaby]

"Yes, I graduated from a designer school a little less than a year ago. Did you ever go to a modeling school or go to a camp when you were younger?"
Chelsea wanted to make sure she didn't sound too snobby when she said that, because she has a habbit of doing so.

[SpoiledxxAngel]

___________

"Actually... no," Cilla sighed. "My family.. I was poor when I was younger. I went to a writing camp when I was ten.. and a few years ago I helped my cousin and auntie with a runaway show,"

Cilla tried to recap back to the very moment. "Chosing designs and clothes, setting it up, all that kind of stuff. It got me interested in modeling.. and here I am!"

[LilacBaby]

"That's so cool! I wanted to go to a writting camp when I was younger but my parents never let me go. It was sleep-away and they have some problem with that. Never knew why." Chelsea decided to lay off the life story and go onto to another subject, just incase the family stuff was boring to Cilla.

"Do you have any brothers or sisters?"

((I have to go for half an hour...I'll be back soon :)))

[SpoiledxxAngel]

(( I've gotta go too - back in five minutes in case ))
_________

"Do you have any brothers or sisters?"

Cilla laughed. She had so many sometimes she'd forget their name! Kidding.

"Lots," she giggled at Chelsea. "I'm actually the youngest in my family. I have 3 sisters.. and twin brothers. It's a lot of fun to have so many to play with and just talk to - but annoying considering you don't get that much space." she answered, thinking.

"Enough about me - do you have any siblings, Chelsea?"

[LilacBaby]

"Yes I do. I have an older sister and a younger brother so I'm the middle child, but luckily for me I wasn' he child that is always ignored, like you see in television shows."

Chelsea was so happy her conversation with Cilla was gong somewhere and it wasn't just small talk.

[Slytherin-Girl]

Amber had spent the majority of the evening hoping to catch a climpse of her good looking boss wandering around somewhere. But with no such luck she just ordered herself another long island iced tea and plopped down in a chair next to Delilah.

"Any luck" she asked, taking a long sip.

[butterflykiss]

Nicolao held firmly to his whisky, after his long flight, this party was the last thing on his mind. Jet lag, rude stewardess, and to top it all off, the in flight peanuts were stale. Thank goodness, for an open bar, and a little less stale nuts. I wonder how many people put there hands in there, he thought to himself with utter disdain as he loosened his tie.

If it was up to him, he would be home unpacking getting ready to start work the next morning. The colors in this woman's house were inviting, a sense of well-breed from a sign of the antiques that lined the large spacious rooms. What he could do with a space like this, he thought touching the thick curtains.

Sipping on the amber liquid, he sauntered around the room mesmerized.

[SpoiledxxAngel]

(( When's the party over? ))
___________

"Yes I do. I have an older sister and a younger brother so I'm the middle child, but luckily for me I wasn' he child that is always ignored, like you see in television shows."

Cilla nodded, understanding. "Very lucky," she answered.

She couldn't help notice that the rooms had dimmed down a little. This was more like it; she could go around relaxed. She faced Chelsea and continued with their conversation. It was nice that now she had made a friend - perhaps the job wasn't so bad, afterall!

[LilacBaby]

The butterflies in Chelsea's stomach finally settled. Even though she may have not been on perfect terms with her boss already she had at least made a friend, Cilla.

"Do you want to go to the bar and get a drink? Now that my stomach has finally settled I can drink something with out feeling sick."

[SpoiledxxAngel]

_______

"Sure," she replied, smiling, preventing herself from giggling at her friend's remark.

They both headed towards the bar where they had noticed another designer, but continued on chatting on the way there.

[LilacBaby]

When they were at the bar Chelsea made sure the coast was clear before she commented on the designer they just saw.

"Wow, that designer is hot." Chelsea made sure she whispered just in case.

[SpoiledxxAngel]

__________

Cilla nodded in reply. "Very," she added, also whispering, picking up a drink.

"Why don't you go talk to him?" Cilla suggested to Chelsea, adding a smirk.

[trampledsneakers]

((are app's still open? Can I reserve a slot as a designer? I'll post mine tomorrow, but if not, I'll just delete this.))

[LilacBaby]

'Oh I don't know. You think I should?" Chelsea said taking a sip of her second martini.

She was loving Cilla's idea but just wasn't 100% sure she should. I mean he looked like one of those fancy Italian designers, Maybe he was too good for her.

[SpoiledxxAngel]

(( Apps are always open, XD ))

______

"YES, I do think you should." Cilla commented, emphazing on the word 'YES'.

Cilla knew Chelsea could do it. Just a push and a bit of confidence..

"Why don't you start out introducing yourself and then talk about his and your career," she suggested. "you'll have something in common, after all, you're both designers."

[LilacBaby]

"I guess you're right. I mean why not? We are both designers." Chelsea decided to go and just as she was about to leave she said to Cilla "Would you like to come and get to know the guy who could be making the clothes you wear on your next photoshoot?"

Bio
Born the daugher of the rich CEO of Microhard Incorporation, Jamie has always been living the glamorous life. She got a stable full of ponies at age four. Her first credit card was at age eight.

((I hope it's okay that I used a non-sim picture...))

[SpoiledxxAngel]

_________

Cilla thought about her words carefully. She'd like to know more about her designers, even though she'd probably wear Chelsea's design the most - if she could pick, that is. But then again, maybe she should leave her alone...

"Well.. I could go and stay with you and him for thirteen seconds.. and then leave you alone for the rest of the time," she offered. "I'll manage," and smiled.

[LilacBaby]

((Wow, great photo hamsterball))

**

"If you're sure. Come on let's go say hi, together."

Chelsea knew that Cilla wanted to let her have time to get to know her fellow designer but it doesn't matter to her. She's made a friend and that's all that really matters. There's even a bonus, it's a friend who will wear her designs.

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah groaned, "I totally got blown off, believe it or not."

She sighed and took another sip of her drink. "Life can really suck sometimes."

She gazed about the room and spotted a newcomer. "Ooh!" she squealed, jumping from the chair. "I think I see some new eye candy!"

She walked over to Nicolao and said with a shy smile, "Hi, I'm Delilah Stanton."

[SpoiledxxAngel]

(( Too bad butterflykiss is offline ))

________

"Wait, stop," Cilla spat out - a little too loud she admitted herself but no one seemed to notice. Then she turned to Chelsea and let out a deep breath.

"It seems that he's a little preoccupied..?" and pointed to Nicolao, then Delilah, who had just entered the room a few moments ago.

[LilacBaby]

"Crap. The new secretary has got him." Chelsea missed her shot but she would rather stay with Cilla and know that it was okay for her to go alone than just leave her alone like she did earlier.

"I just thought of something funny. She seems like one of those slu**y secretaries if you ask me. I got a glimpse of the photo she sent with her application and it looks like the pose my best friend uses when she models for Victoria's Secret" Chelsea just had to say that. it was killing her and besides she saw her go from man to man all night.

[SpoiledxxAngel]

_________

Cilla brought her hand up to her mouth, in spite of laughing. But she couldn't hold it in long enough. She let out a small giggle.

"Very true," she thought in her head.

"Maybe we should go into the next room," Cilla said, then lowered her voice. "I'm not so sure if I want to stay any longer.... you?"

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah glanced over at the two women who were watching her and whispering to each other, smirks on their faces.

"Take a picture; it'll last longer," she muttered. "Women are so freakin' catty!"

[LilacBaby]

"Yes, I agree. Let me just pick up a glass of water and we'll be on our way." Chelsea was glad to leave the room for a moment.


It was like all the mid 20s to mid 30s women were hitting on the hot young men that walked into the room. It was actually very sickening considering she was a little sl** at times.

[DarkPhoenix]

((OOC: Going offline for the night because I'm not feeling well. I will resume participating tomorrow.))

[LilacBaby]

((Hope you feel better tomorrow DarkPhoenix. :)))

[SpoiledxxAngel]

(( Same here, DarkPhoenix ))
________

Cilla and Chelsea both left the room - Cilla with a calm expression and Chelsea with a glass of water.

She looked behind her shoulder to capture one last glance at Delilah - and the back of Nicolao's head.

"Life's unpredictable," she sighed. "in a bad way and good,"

[butterflykiss]

Nicolao glanced up from his dreamy eyed stare at the decor around him, to the young woman that quipped in. Sipping nonchalantly on his whiskey, he returned his own boyish smirk. "Deliah," her name rolled on the tip of his tongue, "the temptress of Sampson, do tell me you will not make me cut my hair, I am rather fond of it." Finding his simple pun humorous, he too another sip gazing over the rim of his glass.

As Deliah's gaze wandered his eyes met another two womans', he must have been daydreaming awhile, for he didn't see any of these people enter.

{{*gives DarkPhoenix chocolate and tylenol. Feel better!!!}}

[LilacBaby]

"Agreed. You know when I went to get water I heard the last little bit of her sentence and she wall all like Women are so freakin' catty."

Chelsea was so happy. she loved gossip but she also loved having a friend like Cilla to tell her gossip to.

[SpoiledxxAngel]

________

"Nevermind this," Cilla muttered low enough for Chelsea to hear. "We'll be seeing this everyday at the office! Think about it - running secretaries to greet more guys.. and to think there wasn't enough,"

She was having a great time, even though she was very insecure around everyone. With Chelsea, everything seemed a lot easier. And she was glad.

[LilacBaby]

"Ugh. Let's hope it's only the secretaries because if anyone else is like that they'll be no guys left for us!" Chelsea made a tiny giggle at her remark.

Chelsea felt like she was the only one here so far with standars besides Cilla. She knew that herself and Cilla didn't just fling from man to man they wanted something real and not just a one day stand in the janitor's closet.

[SpoiledxxAngel]

________

"Ugh. Let's hope it's only the secretaries because if anyone else is like that they'll be no guys left for us!"

"Definetly," she chuckled.

[LilacBaby]

"I'm so glad I've made a friend here. one who's very nice and down to earth." Chelsea was so releived and happy to have made a real friend first day on the 'job'.

**

((Well nighty night. I'm having a snack and I'm off to bed for the night. :)))

[SpoiledxxAngel]

(( Goodnight. Wake up early! I'll be expecting you! JK. XD ))

_________

Cilla smiled, and did nothing more. She was thinking the same thing.

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah chuckled at Nicolao's remark. "Quite the opposite," she replied. "I rather like your long hair and don't intend to do anything to harm it. It suits you quite well."

[Anne_SC]

Andrew pulled into the parking lot in a very luxurious Mercedes Benz carrying a large bouqet of flowers.
"Welcome to Queens Clothes im Delilah how may i help you?"
"Yes, im Andrew Valderman... sorry to arrive unannounced but i have a gift for Cecilia."
"oh well i think she's busy in a meeting... u can leave the flowers here with me or you can take a seat im not sure how much longer she'll be"
"Thats fine i can wait... Kelvin Cline can wait a few minutes" laughed Andrew
after a few moments Cecilia came into reception.
"Andrew... oh are those for me?" smiled Cecilia
"Yes, im here just as a huge thank you... that new fashion line u submited for the summer was a huge hit at my fashion show in London!"
"Well Andy only the best comes from the QC" they laughed.

((You're talking with my character?" :blink: ))

[butterflykiss]

Leaning against the door frame, he looked at Deliah rather pensively, a smirked lined his bronzed face, "Now, I can rest at ease. So, tell me what Deliah, what is your position here." It was odd getting to know people, and to be honest he was incapable of small talk. In all honesty, he sucked at it, luckily he wasn't talking about anything as formidable as the weather.

[LilacBaby]

((Just one question, when dos the party finish?))

[Anne_SC]

((Em? :)))

Cecilia took another sip from her glass champagne. The light of the moon made the water sparkle, it made her smile, she was going to start a new life. With new chances.



((The party finishes soon xD))

[butterflykiss]

{{Roflmao woot yeppiers chez moi!! How are ya Anne?}}

[Anne_SC]

((I'm really good, and joined Nouvelle Hills ;))

She turned around and saw the place was really crowded.

[LilacBaby]

Chelsea was exausted. She had had a different kind of night. The good part is she had made a new friend, Cilla. the bad part was she had also got onto bad-ish terms with her boss, Cecilia and had probably made an enemy-ish with one of the secretaries, Delilah.

"So...you thirsty?" Chelsea was so thirsty and she was hoping Cilla was as well.

[SpoiledxxAngel]

(( ARGGHHH. Writer's block and it's too early in the morning. XD ))
______________

"A little. I'm more hungry than thirsty," Cilla replied, smiling. She was also tired, and wondered how she would manage in the morning.

[LilacBaby]

"Now that you mention it, I am hungry." Chelsea was thankful Cilla brought up food.

"You want to go back and check if they is anything to eat?"

[SpoiledxxAngel]

_________

Cilla nodded. "Sure,"

The two girls both headed towards the kitchen, in search of something to eat.

[Anne_SC]

"I'm going back, I've got a feeling lots of people want to talk to me." she said. And walked into the living room.

[LilacBaby]

As they walked back into the main room, the only way to get to the kitchen, she spotted that designer again.

"Man, he's so...wow," she thought to herself.

"And voila, the kitchen. Wow, they is lots of stuff to choose from" There were so many choices. What were her and Cilla going to eat?

[SpoiledxxAngel]

__________

She smiled at noted Chelsea's dreamy expression, which now turned into a 'what am I going to eat?' expression. You know, if they had been faster and less chit-chatty, Chelsea and her could've met that designer ages befofre Delilah.
Oh well, first come first serve.

"Shoot," she muttered. "too many things to pick!"

Cilla picked up a plate and kept looking around.

[LilacBaby]

((I'm going to have to go for a little while. I'll be back in a few hours.:)))

**

Now that Chelsea and Cilla picked up a bit of this and that they walked back into the main room.

"Geez, I thought she'd be gone by now. Oh well." Chelsea was kind of dissapointed she was still there but on the upsdie if it turns into something it's one less woman flinging herself around the office. Right?

[SpoiledxxAngel]

(( See ya. I gotta go too - breakfast. ))

_________

"Oh well?" Cilla asked. She wasn't comfortable eating and talking around people so she noted to take small bits.

They both were heading towards the living room, and Cilla took one last glance at the area before they walked into a new one.

[LilacBaby]

"Um...I meant she would be gone to another guy by now and then we could go meet him or something." Chelsea felt a little weird now. I guess Cilla misunterstood what she meant. That was something she should hve maybe kept to herself.

Chelsea was hoping that soon enough Cecilia would be free or something by now. She relly wanted to apologize about earlier and from what she's heard before she go the job she better appologize soon!

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah smiled and blushed a bit. "I must confess, I'm a humble secretary. It doesn't pay much, but it keeps me from starving and being homeless."

She stared admiringly at the attractive man and asked, "And you, sir?"

[AtropaMandragora]

Having had some time to himself out on the terrace, Jericho finally returned into the house and the living room. He was feeling a bit more relaxed now, and no longer as annoyed by the loud and crowded room as he'd been when he'd left it. He was ready to represent himself. To the bosses, to the designers, to the clients... And to the ladies, and the men. That was why he was here, after all. That, and to have fun, he reminded himself. It was a party after all, and he was known to be quite the party animal. And quite the bad boy.
It was odd really, how the party had made him feel uneasy at first. But maybe it was because there were only fashion people here. He had no problem with goo-see's, where every inch of him was scrutinized by professionals, but this... This was different. While everyone here was still in the fashion industry, the scrutinizing that went on here was of a completely different kind. Instead of being judged bluntly and to their faces, the people here were judged with secretive whispers, being talked about behind their backs. Not just the models, but everyone. And that kind of gossiping was part of what made him loathe people in general.
But, the small amount of alcohol he'd consumed was enough to take the edge off, and so he now felt ready to socialize.

[Anne_SC]

Cecilia walked around, having little conversations with people and looked around, as far as she knew, most of the people had arrived.

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah waved to Cecilia and gave her a warm smile as she passed by and nodded at several people who walked by her. No sense in being unfriendly.

[Anne_SC]

Se took her glass and raised it.
"Can I have your attention please?" she said.
"As you all know, Queen's Clothes is brand new. But we will do anything to make people know QC and make them wear it! With these great designers, there will be no doubt that people will like these clothes. I want to thank my mother, for starting this great project, and for making me the manager"

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah stood silently, glass raised slightly, and listened to Cecilia.

[LilacBaby]

Chelsea and Cilla put their food down, raised their glasses and payed attention to every one of Cecilia's words that filled the living room.

[SpoiledxxAngel]

____________

"Um...I meant she would be gone to another guy by now and then we could go meet him or something."

"I know what you mean, Chelsea," Cilla whispered. "but obviously that guy deserves more than a secretary who flirts with guys more than the times she has been in her house," then rolled her eyes at Delilah.

Then they continued listening to Cecilia.

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah pretended to ignore the eyeroll, but noted it for future reference, just in case she had a taste for revenge later on.

[SpoiledxxAngel]

(( Uh oh! Cilla's in trouble! xD ))
________

[DarkPhoenix]

(( I hear mustard-filled donuts are quite tasty;) ))

[LilacBaby]

"Oh sorry." Chelsea felt stupid for thinking Cilla misunderstood.

"Oh and by the way Delilah noticed your eyeroll."

[SpoiledxxAngel]

(( Me and Cilla will pass the mustard filled donuts, thank-you-very-much. ))

___________

Cilla turned her head to face Delilah's once more. She was paying attention to Cecilia's words. Cilla felt like making another eye roll but decided against it.

"It's okay," she smiled. Then her grin turned into a frown. "well, one things for sure - Delilah isn't the best actress on earth. It's just an eye roll," she made sure that the last sentence was loud. Loud enough for Delilah to hear, but not Cecilia.

[LilacBaby]

"Nice." Chelsea held in her giggles so Cecilia wouldn't notice and she also stopped herself from high fiving Cilla so no one at all would notice.

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah smiled to herself and refilled her glass, making sure it was full. She gave Cilla a sinister smile.

[SpoiledxxAngel]

(( Look! Over there! No, to your other left - even MORE drama! Sarcastic moment. xD ))

__________

Cilla smiled once again, it was her first time making Chelsea laugh. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Delilah smile. It reminded her of 101 dalmations.. you know the evil wicked woman? Yeah, that person..

She turned her head and placed her hands on her hips. Using as much dignity and confidence as possible, she flicked her hair to the side and continued watching Cecilia, forming the smallest of smiles.

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah scooted ever so slightly closer to Nicolao, giving Cilla and Chelsea a look that said, "Don't you wish you were me right now?"

[LilacBaby]

((I love drama! *evil laugh*)) ((Is the speech done?))

**

Since Chelsea had finished her water and the drink table was right beside her she picked up a manhatan.

"Third drink tonight," her brain says. "Start laying off the drinks Chels"

**

Chelsea noticed Delilah lean in on Nicolao. She turned to Cilla and whispered "She's a slu*."

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah looked worriedly at Chelsea. Should she be drinking so much? she thought. Heck, should I have had so much?

She bit her lip. She was annoyed by Chelsea's behavior, but she didn't want her to pass out or throw up.

She eased her way over to Chelsea and passed her a small package. "These are to keep you from getting a hangover," she whispered. "I know you hate me, but I don't want anyone to get sick."

She hurried away before Chelsea could reply and went back to her spot next to Nicolao.

[SpoiledxxAngel]

(( It doesn't look like the speech is done ))

___________

Cilla sneered at Delilah and turned to face Chelsea. In her head, she was going like; "no, I'm absolutely sure I don't want to be you. What good would THAT do?" her conscience said.

"Can you believe her?" she asked. It was obvious - none of the three girls were paying attention to the speech. ".. what the.. ??" she couldn't believe the sight of Delilah actually helping them.

"All's fair in love and war, especially when it's your Enemy," but then again, she wasn't the one interested in Nicolao, it was Chelsea.

[LilacBaby]

"Why is she helping us, well me?" Chelsea was confused but maybe she was being friendly. After all it was Cilla and Delilah giving dirty looks back and forth. Chelsea was siting back.

Suddenly it snapped. "Oh my god! What if people see or heard what she said. Everyone will think I'm a durnken designer who had one too many on her first day." Chelsea was in panic mode now.

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah looked worried. She didn't want to see anyone get sick, whether or not they were being nice to her. She hoped nothing bad would happen.

Out of habit, she looked around, seeking out the nearest wastebaskets and locations where cold water could be found. Years of hitting bar after bar taught her that much.

[SpoiledxxAngel]

____________

Cilla tried to calm her friend down.

"Chelsea!" she whispered. "CHELSEA!" she almost snapped.

Finally her friend had faced her, panic-striken.

"Listen to me! No one had heard you. No one has noticed us and the war that's been going on, and to think they'd notice this? Besides, Cecilia's in the center. Attention and all eyes on her, so relax." she smiled, hoping that her words would work.

She found Delilah searching for something. As she turned around and faced her, Cilla mouthed a silent "Thank you,"

[LilacBaby]

"Okay, okay." Chelsea was calm on the outside. Her friend's words worked for the moment.

"Can you excuse me for a minute. I'm going to go to the washroom, put some water on my face to relax myself."

[Anne_SC]

Cecilia finally ended her speech with some wise words(xD).
"Let's now have some more fun."

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah smiled kindly at Cilla and watched Chelsea walk out.

If she's not back in ten minutes, I'm going in after her, she thought.

She took a sip of her drink and hummed to herself. Maybe this party might not be so bad after all, she thought, feeling a bit more relaxed.

[SpoiledxxAngel]

_____________

Cilla nodded. Thankfully that Cecilia had ended her speech so Chelsea could go off without being 'rude'... or whatever.

"I'll just go get something to drink," she whispered to herself. All that food made her parched. Water would be nice.

[LilacBaby]

Chelsea, now in the bathroom took the pills out of her purse. She inspected them for a few minutes making sure it wasn't a trick but decided against it. She shouldn't even open the lid unless she was sure.

She decided to go to the washroom, splash water on her face and then re-apply her makeup.

She walked out of that bathroom with confidence on her face and in her walk for when she walked back into that room.

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah watched as Chelsea walked back in. Oh, good, she's okay, she thought.

Delilah took a couple of anti-hangover pills from her pocket and downed them. That's one less thing to worry about, she thought to herself.

[SpoiledxxAngel]

She was pouring herself some water when she spotted her friend Chelsea walk out of the bathroom, looking more relaxed than ever.

Cilla smiled - the pills really worked after all. Actually, once you pass the 'I'm a flirt and eye-candy keeps me running' stage of Delilah, she was really a good person inside. Cilla hoped that things would turn out right for all three of them.

Sipping her water quietly she decided to find Chelsea when she finished the glass of water.

Delilah sipped her drink some more.

Maybe those two aren't so bad after all, she thought with a smile.

Chelsea picked up a glass of water, spoted out Cilla and went over to her, but before she slipped a pill in her mouth but made it look like she was taking a tic tac.

"Hey Cilla. Maybe it's my martini talking, before the pills kick in, but Delilah seems like a really nice person once you get past her flinging." Chelsea was more relaxed.

Jericho had stepped inside just in time to hear Cecilia begin her speech. Hovering near the glass doors, leaned back against the wall, he could still feel the fresh night air caress his neck, and while he did listen to his new boss, he let his eyes roam the room. Some people seemed to listen intently, and some... not so much. He saw a brunette about his own age hit on one of the designers. Nicolao Leao-Pires, unless he was mistaken. And he also saw her shoot icey glances over at two other young women. One a model for sure and the other... He couldn't determine what she looked like. She was pretty enough to be a model, but didn't really seem the type... A secretary maybe? Or a designer? Or even a client?
Aw hell, she could be anything.

Just then Cecilia ended her speech, and Jericho found himself having missed most of it, despite trying to listen. But the scene between the man and the three women had caught his attention, and piqued his interest. Already there was drama within the company. Of course. What kind of party would this be if there wasn't?

Smirking at how predictable people were, Jericho decided it was probably time to get something to eat, and so he left the doorway and headed for the kitchen.

"Exactly!" she replied, beaming a smile. "Maybe we should go apologize to her," she suggested, putting the empty glass cup on the table.
