And the Furrs Walked in...

[DivenWest]

Diven smiled at the cat's antics, "Someone else sugested the Winchester to us. If you think its a good place to go, it sounds fine to me."
He nosed Kiara, "That ok with you?"

[Rotzi]

"Any place that's good is quite alright. So long as the room we end up getting has a lot of pillows..." Kiara replied with a smile.

Jessi also smiled. "It's great to see two peope in love, y' know?" She had an air about her that made her seem almost sad.

Squee looked from Rotzi to Centon, then sighed. "The angst is so thick in here I could cut it with a plastic spoon." His tail twitched a bit. "You two are pathetic, y' know?" With that said the demon went over to his bed by the door and promptly curled up and fell asleep.

[DivenWest]

"Hmm.." Diven mused as he smirked at Squee. "I guess he doesn't want to go. So it looks like its just us four," Diven glanced at the sign in the window, and at the clock on the wall, "And it's closing time. You want us to wait outside while you get ready?" he asked the human and elf.

[Rotzi]

Jessi looked at her watch. "So it is. This was the fastest I ever remember closin' time comin' up." She went to the door and flipped the sign to "Closed."

Centon glanced at the clock. "Give us about an hour, and we'll be ready." The elf smiled at them. "Would you care for a drink whlie you wait? A small snack?"

"I have some cookies upstairs..."

"And I've some different types of teas downstairs."

[DivenWest]

"I will be fine," he eyed Kiara, "And you don't need a cookie."

Diven sat down next to the window and pulled Kiara down with him. "We'll wait here." He pulled her close to her and nuzzled her softly.

[Rotzi]

Kiara offered him her best pout. However she wasn't in the mood for sweets. "We'll be fine," the lynxess nodded in agreement.

The photographer nodded. "Okies. We'll be back in here in about an hour." She smiled and excused herself upstairs.

"If you get thirsty, you can just come on downstairs. There's a kettle of the stove, and if you want tea it's up in the cupboard above the stove." The elf went downstairs to his apartment, leaving the two furs in the lobby.

Kiara lead Diven over to a couch and sat down. "This has been a long day, ne? But fun." She nuzzled him again.

[DivenWest]

He nuzzled the Lynxess back, "Yes, very fun." He gave her a gentle kiss and held her. "I think we have made some nice friends today."

[Rotzi]

Kiara nodded, snuggling up against him. "Hai. Some very nice friends." She yawned a bit. "Wake me up when they get back, okies?"

Upstairs, Jessi had just stepped into a shower. It had been a while since she actually went out for fun. She smiled to herself. The last time she had gone out, and the many previous times had been when she was trying to keep Squee out of trouble. Now Squee was staying home and being replaced by Centon. This would be lots of fun, indeed.

Half an hour later the photographer was going through her wardrobe. The Winchester wasn't too formaly, but she had a reason for wanting to look nice. From the back of the wardrobe she pulled out a finished sewing project. "Perfect."

The dress was similar to many of the dresses that would be seen around the city, but it was altered. Somehow it fit Rotzi's personality perfectly. The skirt was satin of dark burgandy that reached her ankles. However, unlike the typical dress, the satin went over another skirt, this one being slighlty pleated and only coming up mid-thigh on her, and it was black. This fabric matched that of her corset, which had embroidered roses and vines by the clasps. The top of the dress just barely came off her shoulders and was also black with the burgandy sleeves.

Come to think about it, it seemed more Gothic than Victorian... she thought as she finished the last clasp on the corset. She already had her hair fixed; she had pulled most if it back by having two braids from either side going to the back and becoming one braid. Jessi even went as far as adding just a touch of eyeshadow. "This is gonna be fun!" She slipped into her high heels and headed on downstairs.

Centon was already waiting, pacing around nervously. He was in a pair of black dress pants, a black vest, and a pressed white shirt. A faint blush crept over his face when he seen her. He smiled shyly.

Kiara was awed. "Isn't she beautiful, Diven?"

[DivenWest]

"That she is... Wow... I can't ever remember seeing a dress anything like that." He stood, pulling Kiara up.

"Shall we go?" he asked with a smile.

[Rotzi]

The lynx nodded. "Very nice." She smiled. "Personally I prefer leather, or whatever your robes are made of, love."

Centon extended a hand to Jessi, who gladly took it. Before she could get further, the elf kissed her hand, causing her to blush as well.

Squee smirked a bit from his basket. Something was finally goin' right. Now how to screw up the elven council's plans...

"Shall we go?" Jessi smiled at the elf. There was something there that wasn't before... why didn't she notice it...?

[DivenWest]

Diven smiled as he held Kiara's paw, "I don't think she dressed up for us," he whispered in her ear.

Diven held the door open for the human, elf, and lynxess. He sniffed at the breeze that blew in the door. "The night always did smell cleaner."

[Rotzi]

Kiara nodded to both of Diven's statements. "All girls always dress for the one they care about." She took his arm once everyone was through.

Jessi was a bit surprised at herself. She was actually allowing Centon to lead her around. Normally she wouldn't allow it, but she felt like being a girl for once.

Centon was grinning ear to ear once they were out on the street. Things were finally beginning to look up for him. He finally had the courage to begin to take the steps to court her. Thus far, this was the best day in his life.

The photographer looked around. "The Winchester should be about five blocks from here."

[DivenWest]

Diven nuzzled his mate gently as they began to walk.

"So, do all big, dark, scary citys have such wounderful photographers?" he asked, unable to think of any other way to start a conversation at the moment.

[Rotzi]

Jessi shook her head. "Not sure. This was the only town I've been to."

"Jessi's not from here," Centon explained. "She's not allowed to leave the city, tho." He rubbed the photographer's back. "She's from another realm."

"Inter-planar traveler, ne? Or just stepped into a portal?" Kiara tilted her head. "I heard a lot about it, rumors mainly from when I traveled."

[DivenWest]

"I had my fair share of trips through those holes," Diven said, "but none of those worlds seemed quite right."

Diven looked thoughtfull for a moment, "You said she isn't allowed to leave, why is that?"
