of course there is booze because there is always booze. law does not perceive the meth. (if there is any.)

[lenore's here wearing a black swimsuit that could pass for a short dress! she's also very much staying in the shade of a beach umbrella, despite being technically safe in the sun here. and yep, she has booze! it's some colorful fruity cocktail.]

All right, it's my turn.

I have three sisters and no brothers.
This ring I wear is special and one of a kind.
I rule a small nation in Europe.

[bachelorbored]

Hmm... well, you seem elegant enough to be a ruler—I've met worse!—and designer pieces are always one-of-a-kind, so...

The siblings!

[sistocracy]

Wrong.

[but she smiles! tripping people up means she's doing it right, right?]

I do have three sisters. Two of them have rings that match mine.

[bachelorbored]

Oh!

Well, then... uh, I guess take the last one as a compliment?

[touchups]

[Colorful fruity cocktail club!!]

Hm... [He does know she has sisters, but not if she has no brothers!! HE CAN'T EVEN CHEAT.]

...Is it - the small nation one? Is it, like, a big nation or something instead?

[sistocracy]

[she shakes her head. happily!]

Oh no, it's quite tiny at the moment. Humans won't even recognize our borders, most of the time.

The answer is my ring. It is special, but it's actually three of a kind, with two of my sisters wearing identical items.

[touchups]

Wow! That is tiny!

[There's a gentle little curve of interest, coupling with the mild curiosity. Tiny nation!! Tiny nation and special ring...s. With a tone of curiosity that matches the vibes he's radiating:]

That's cute. [Matchies...] What makes the ring special?

[sistocracy]

It's a symbol of our membership in Carmilla's court, and of our loyalty to one another as sisters.

[touchups]

[His little peanut curse brain is absolutely turning over how lovely that idea is in theory. It's like an exclusive friendship ring... Damn.]

Aw... Things like that always sound so nice. Can I see?

[The ring a little closer, he means; though he doesn't hold his hand out. He just leans in, if she's willing to hold her hand out so he can take a closer peek!]

[sistocracy]

Of course. I don't mind.

[she'll offer her hand so he can get a good look. it kind of looks like it's cracked?]

[touchups]

[HE PEERS... He perceives... It's a pretty neat ring, albeit simple for someone with Seemingly Fancy Tastes. His brow furrows a little at the apparent crack.]

Is it okay? It looks hurt.

[It's an inanimate object.]

[holeful]

[He overhears the Kaz exchange so now he's just looking at Lenore like WOW!!!]

Does that make you a queen, then?
[A VAMPIRE QUEEN??????]

[sistocracy]

[he gets a smile!]

In a sense, yes. My sister Carmilla is the one who officially bears the title of Queen, but we sisters rule together as a quartet.

[holeful]

[Vampire Princess....]

No wonder you're so sophisticated, then... Medb could use being more like you.

[sistocracy]

Really? You think so?

[she's a little pleased about that.]

[holeful]

[And he's pleased she's pleased!!]

Of course! Someone like Medb... she acts however she wants because she thinks being royalty makes her better than everyone else.

But with you it's more like... the ideal for royalty. You have all the elegance but you're someone worth following, too.

[Fukuda your girlfriend is AT this beach party??]
