Rushing about (Star)

Star concealed herself with her hoodly and left the underground bar with some haste, not wanting to be in the way of the Sheriff's remaining business.

Star wasn't sure if her words to Bruno made a difference between them at all, but at least she got what she wanted to say off her chest and felt habit better about herself, even though she thought that some there saw her as a deceitful cunt, and wonders if she would run into Marlon or Franky again and get a chance to prove she wasn't.

Star walked quickly to the street and pulled out her cell to send a text to her Sire to let him know that she was on her way back.

SMS to David

Star made sure to keep the blush up for appearances sake, and on Star's way back to the Tower she kept her head down and tryed not to make any eye contact with anyone who passed her by.

When Star reached the Tower she made a quick B-Line for the shopping area. She knew she had to get something from the shops that was Ventrue appropriate for the Board Meeting and showing up in a dirty hoodie, torn jeans and a T-Shirt would not cut it, Especially if the Prince was going to be there and she knew she needed to make a good 1st impression. But she didn't want to pick out any outfits that were too eyechaching or someone might think she was trying to be a attention seeker or even worse brown-nosing. In reality the only eye she wanted to catch was Philip's.

Star picked out a nice black dress from the Tower's more up scale shops that she thought would make her look more appropriate to meet with her clanmates.
Though upon seeing the price tag attached to the items she nearly choked on air.

<...holy sweet Jesus! How much is this???? >

Even with Star's new found wealth, she hardly wanted to spend it on things that she considered frivolous, but from observing others of her clan she knew there was a "certain look" that seemed to be expected from them, and she had to fit in. So begrudgingly she purchased the outfit, along with matching shoes, a small handbag, new undergarments And some make up.



Star made sure that the outfit covered parts of her neck and shoulder as to not show off her Scar. Once she bought all the items she went quickly to her room to change clothing and text her Sire to ask to report to him before the meeting.

The attention to detail this shop provided and the care given to Star's every need was a very unusual experience for Star. She was hardly used to this behavior and felt out of place and it took her some prodding for the saleswoman to actually get Star to sit down and be comfortable with this type of shopping.

Once Star started to relax and let the Sales Woman do her job, she was much more complying with what the woman was asking.

That was until Star was standing in front of the mirror to try everything on while Jessy was attending to her every need and making suggestions.

Star caught the Beast's Eye and staired at her Beast's reflection seeing it all dressed up in this expensive designer clothing, to which she became extremely uncomfortable, stepping away from the mirror and trying to move into a position where the Jessy would not see the thing in the mirror staring back at her with murderous intention.
Luckily Jessy didn't seem to notice, or if she did didn't panic about it. Last thing Star wanted was to cause a panic at the Tower.

Star made her way to the counter and received the bill. She had to take a moment to let the price sink in as her heart sunk in her chest.

<...oh my fu*king God... How much is this? ...>

Star tryed not to show her shock and hesitation at seeing the bill. She simply took out that Black Credit Card and handed it to the lady with a soft smile.

<... Oh Jeuzz'us Christ I thought Sakes 5th Ave was expensive...  I can not make that a habit. I"ll go broke in no time... >"

<''Dear lordy.. Spending 3 thousand on a damn outfit... I must be crazy... I could buy a barrett light .50 cal. semi-auto AND a whole wardrobe at the Town Mall for this price.
What am I thinking!?" >

This was probably one of the most expensive things Star has ever bought for herself in probably her whole life time, and had a very hard time justifing this purchase to herself.

After making her purchase Star headed back to her room to drop off her normal clothing, finish doing her makeup and getting ready for the Meeting tonight.

On the way she bitches to herself about how much money she just spent on a single outfit and god forbid if anyone messes it up they will feel her wrath.

Star checks her phone and sees the message from David. After she gets the message and changes, she heads to meet him
