A house is gunning for you tonight.
If it happens, follow the waitress - she'll protect you.
Jezabelle Sherlock wrote:Jezabelle however was not as stone-faced. While her mask may have hidden her mouth it did nothing to obscure how wide her eyes had gotten or eyebrows had risen. Let alone the physical start of both the standing and sitting forms. She felt much the same as she had when she first set her eyes upon him all those many weeks ago. It probably told many of the others at the table her true social status when she remained stunned and still like the wait staff rather than applauding as the other nobles and elites did.

Masked Socialite wrote:The mystery woman took a small sip of her wine, enjoying the spectacle on the dance floor. She glanced at Jez as she made her way towards her lady, then looked back at the Aide’s table, and smiled before turning her attention back to the dance floor with the rest of the guests.
Jezabelle Sherlock wrote:The sitting Jez started at the impact, her reaction not at all subtle, but there was little she could say or do to try and play it off either. So she instead opted to pretend it had never happened at all and actually have some of her dessert as though everything was as it should be.
Also Jezabelle Sherlock, but, like, the other one wrote:The standing Jez did her best to try and snake her way through the crowd and toward the princess, in the hopes that if something were to occur she'd be there in time to intervene. Whether by attacking the assailant from behind, or putting herself between them and Katarina, only time would tell and only if now were the time.
Jezabelle Sherlock wrote:About the only one who hadn't been panicking was the Jez seated at the table with the other "attachés", her duplicent nature letting her take it more in stride. Her sitting calmly definitely stuck out, but it allowed her to take notice, if only briefly, of someone else who seemed much more calm than those whom surrounded them. She got up from her seat and began to try and make her way through the crowd toward the masked woman.
Jezabelle Sherlock wrote:Acting purely on instinct Jez grabbed one of the banquet chairs and lifted it up between herself and her assailant just in time to feel the THUD THUD of the two blades striking it level with her chest. It was lucky for her, perhaps luckier for anyone behind her that she hadn't tried to get out of the way instead. Seeing the woman running for Katarina she spun and tried to hurl the impaled chair at the assassin's legs.
Nika Novak wrote:Nika's projectile slams through the drone leaving just a flat hole, but after a moment sparks erupt and the drone plummets from the air as Nika lands in a three-point crouch. Her eyes seek out Katarina and she starts pushing her way through the crowd. "<Out of my way, damnit!>" she starts shoving socialites and probably a minor noble or two when she notices someone attacking Jez and chasing down the Princess.
Nika Novak wrote: Nika flings out her hand again and the knife comes snapping back along the same path, puncturing the lilting drone again and continuing on right through the path of the masked socialite.
Masked Socialite wrote:“You want to make this personal? Fine. Let’s see exactly how much blood you need in your body to stay conscious!”
