Elektra Natchios has posed:
So it is that New Year is upon us once again. Time flies! Well, maybe it doesn't when someone is 600 years old. But to younglin' Elektra it does fly! And it had been a good year, though it could still be better! Yet it didn't seem like it would get better in *this* particular party though. Sure, it's a very refined event, full of rich people, the might and powerful. Champagne bottles that cost a month's rent in Manhattan being passed around like it was water but ..., it was such a drab.

Yet Elektra came prepared.

She invited Selene of course, but the way she had been talking it seems she had more plans for the evening than just spending it in some party. It might be a suspicion that's confirmed when she suggests to Selene, "How about we get the hell out of here?"

Though it's a suggestion that might be daring, considering it's only around thirty minutes till midnight.

Selene Corvinus has posed:
Selene is dressed in black leather pants, a pair of knee high boots of black leather, and a dark peacoat of charcoal grey. Her hair is well kept and just as black as the majority of her clothing, a black scarf even around her neck when in the colder elements of the night.

She'd been a bit distracted with everything going on, Elektra having easily noticed it too. But when the suggestion is made, the pale skinned vampire woman shows her a bright grin. "I would like that quite a lot, yes." She responds in her sultry tone. Her arm will reach to link with Ele's own, so that they may walk side by side with one another now.

"I love this holiday." She says quietly then as her eyes roam around before going back to Ele's. "People always looking for an excuse to get completely plastered on varieties of alcohol... It used to be a very easy night to 'hunt'." She says with another growing grin.

Elektra Natchios has posed:
Elektra is dressed in a mix of praticality but also fashion. A long dark red dress with cuts on the sides for easier motions. Tight leggings underneath. High heeled boots of course and an elegant echarpe around her shoulders. Because it could get nippy. Specially with what she has in mind. She had also left a backpack at the reception, which is another clue she had arranged to get out of this place.

The destination though? Well, probably not too far, considering how little time it is for New Year to be!

"Wouldn't you also get affected by their drunkenness by drinking from someone in that state? Or that doesn't happen?" She questions, curious about how vampire physiology works. "It would give a whole new definition to living vicariously, mmm?" a wink at the other woman as they hook arms together and she walks out of the party with her.

And from the warmth they get out into the cold, making Elektra taking in a sharp breath at the temperature difference but she continues walking. "This way." down a mostly deserted wide street. Everyone is out in parties indeed!

Selene Corvinus has posed:
Selene walks alongside the other, her eyes dancing around the area that they're headed toward. She looks back to Ele with that mischievous grin of hers. "Well yes. That was part of the celebration..." She responds, her grin growing. "In fact it gets us drunker faster if we do it that way... But... those days are behind us... Or, well, are supposed to be..." She lets her eyes go forward then as they start down a quiter street.

"Mm... this looks like ambush potential." Selene notes as she darts her eyes up and around, though they stay brown, rather than splashing to the bright sight... which means she might be playing up the 'guardian' side of her a bit.

"Are we headed to another party?" She asks then. "I know of at least seventeen in this part of the city alone..."

Elektra Natchios has posed:
"Mmm, does that mean I should had drunk a couple more champagnes to tease you into biting me?" Elektra asks in that teasing manner of hers, dark eyes flashing in amusement as she regards the woman next to her, grin only growing. It's a grin that turns into a laugh when Selene suggests it might be an ambush.

"Yes, I betrayed you. This was all a long con for me to bring to this place at New Year's." Her brow arches up in defiance, "I hope you are suitably scared." but then she shaking her head. "No one will bother us here."

As they get into a more open street they get into an area with tall buildings. Not exactly skyscrapers but still tall. Elektra walks to a particular one and finally opens the backpack she was carrying. Inside? Some kind of zipgun. It looks techy though. Maybe she stole it from Batman's cache. She points it up and shoots, the grappling hook shooting up and hooking somewhere up in the building. She extends one hand to Selene.

"Coming?"

Selene Corvinus has posed:
The words that Elektra responds to her with has Selene just showing a myriad of lightly amused expressions. She lets her eyes go further down the street, before back to the woman. "All you've ever had to do was ask..." Selene says then back about the biting, making the response a bit seductive in how she says it, expresses it, and conveys it!

When the grapple gun is revealed, Selene's eyes go down to it, then upward as Ele brandishes it and prepares to fire.

"Well this just suddenly took an unexpected turn..." The vampire says as she looks up, then over and back to Elektra.

She joins her, leaning against her, and even going so far as to leaning in to put her lips and teeth on Ele's neck. "Not yet..." She says about 'coming yet'. Clearly playing with the words asked of her while she strikes her teeth across the other woman's skin...

Elektra Natchios has posed:
"Unexpected?" The brow remains arched, Elektra watching the vampire amusedly, "I thought you'd expect these kind of plays from me by now. I am glad that I can still surprise you." but then Selene is coming closer, even going as far as leaning in towards her. Their bodies touch, pressing together, her own warmth felt against Selene's body as they both remain there for a few good moments, Elektra reveling in the proximity of the other woman, and the danger, specially when she feels those teeth near her neck. It makes her heart jump, noticeable to heightened senses..

She answers by wrapping her arm around Selene's waist, hand clasped over one hip, firmly, keeping the vampire to her, her own face disappearing for a moment in the mass of dark hair of Selene's, a kiss on her neck before they starting going up, the zipgun starting to draw them up towards the top of that building. Impressive tech really!

"Soon then.." She answers in ways of promise to Selene, eyes on hers as they continue to ascend towards the top of the building.

Selene Corvinus has posed:
The closeness was for two reasons overall. One because she wanted to be close to Elektra, and two, they were clearly going on a ride together. As they ascend, the Vampire keeps working on the other woman's neckline before she pulls back after they've gone quite a ways. She pulls back enough only so that their cheeks can touch, so that she can speak in to Ele's ear."The Happiest of New Years." She says before giving her waist a squeeze to keep their bodies nice and close together, the slim fit black sweater she wears under her coat can be felt to be adorned with the holsters of a torso harness too.

Selene does shoot a look upward though, eventually, her raven black hair fluttering in the wind around her head as they rise up so nice and high!

Elektra Natchios has posed:
Elektra certainly wishes the ride could go for longer but as all good things they need to come to an end. It's not as if she doesn't expect there will be similar moments tonight. But for now, it's time to get into that rooftop. And so they do, Elektra nimbly reaching with one of her legs to bring herself up with her legs while still holding to Selene. Once she gets a good grip with her legs she helps the other woman up towards it.

And they are finally there, high up in a rooftop with a view of the city below them. Yes, she chose the building in advance. Elektra with a plan? Always. "Thought you would like this place.." she says, brushing fingertips on Selene's cheek before she sets the backpack on the ground, opening it to retrieve a champagne bottle. Which she deposits on a bit of snow that still lingers from earlier snowing. So nice of New York with it's weather to help Elektra keep the champagne fresh.

And then, because she is daring and has no care in the world, she sits right on the ledge of that rooftop, legs dangling free, taking in a deep breath.

Selene Corvinus has posed:
Selene is helped up on to this balcony with ease. She gives the other's hand a good squeeze too before she turns to take in the whole of their new surroundings. Her hair flowing around her face, she moves her right hand up to brush some of the locks out of her eyes and back behind an eary... all the good that will do for long though!

When she turns back to Ele she sees her producing some drink. She grins at this. "How posh." Selene replies then while the other woman takes her daring seat upon the edge of the world.

A moment later and Selene is sitting down behind her, spreading her leather clad legs and putting them on either side of Ele. Her face appears over Elektra's left shoulder. She moves a hand up to pull her dark hair back off of her neck, and goes back to what she'd started, kissing and sucking gently upon it for several moments before she looks up to the skyline view.

"So lovely." She says softly then.

Elektra Natchios has posed:
"Pinot Noir." Is Elektra's response to the 'how posh' comment. She even arches a brow in challenge. Posh? Elektra will show you posh! She is the posh-est. At least tonight, or until midnight at least. Who knows what will happen after?

Feeling the other woman sit behind her has Elektra smile to herself, head bowing forward just so and hands reaching to each side of her, over Selene's leather clad legs and pulling her close so their bodies are pressed together. The kisses on her neck make the assassin gasp, forget the cold felt up there on that rooftop before bringing one of her hands up to brush over the other woman's hair.

"I thought you would like it." She says of the choice of place, and view, "Last year has been special. Meeting you." she admits, "And us being able to share this together...." she trails off, turning her head to place a kiss on the vampire's lips, slow and quiet. When the kiss breaks she smiles faintly.

"Not long till New Year's.."

Selene Corvinus has posed:
Selene is right there up close with Elektra on the edge of the roof now. She has a hold of the woman around her waist, holding her close, helping keep her safe. Her own hair flows in the cold wind coming up from the city canyon before them, as she notices that Times Square is partially visible through one of the cracks between giant buildings. "I suppose it is..." She says back in her sultry toned voice.

Her eyes dance back to Ele's and she shows her a little grin before she leans in to brush the side of her nose against the others. "Another year gone by. A year to remember, though." She says in a hushed voice before she kisses Ele's lips. The two are like this for a time, kissing and enjoying each other's bodies before Selene pulls back. Her eyes go across the canyon before them to a set of windows on a fancy apartment skyrise. There are lots of drunk people in the window partying, and some of them have spotted the two women, and are waving and cheering at them!

This makes Selene crack a bigger grin as she leans down to nuzzle against Elek's neck again.

Elektra Natchios has posed:
It's a comforting feeling. Selene's arms around her. The proximity. It's something Elektra didn't feel possible, to be so close with someone. Someone that seems to understand her so well. It has Elektra smiling, broader than the usual even if that hint of mysteriousness remains ever present in her smile, or in the twinkle of her eye. She lets herself relax, putting her life in the other woman's hands. It would be so easy to just push her off now! Instead her back is felt against Sel's chest, her head turning a touch, returning that kiss fully, hand up and holding her cheek to hers.

It goes on for a long while, Elektra lost in the feeling of it. "One of many years to remember." or so she hopes, even if she doesn't dare promise. In their way of life one never knows tomorrow. Which is why she makes sure to live fully, like she is doing now.

"Here is something I didn't plan. Voyeurs." It amuses her though, and doesn't make her any less brazen. A shy Elektra? Never!

The kisses on her neck though? They are an aphrodisiac for Elektra, a shiver running down her spine and having her toss her head to the side, eyes closing. "Careful or we will really give them a show." she teases, laughing.

Already that anticipation about New Year is coming, more at the window. Not long to go now!

Selene Corvinus has posed:
Another quick grin is given with the response that Selene gets. She goes back to nibbling on Ele's neck though, her teeth scraping the skin teasingly before she pulls back up and looks back to the other woman. She leans in and places a series of loving kisses along her jawline.

Her lips end up near the other's ear. "The fact that you've learned so much of my ridiculous life, and yet still indulge me is beyond surprising." She says further, her voice a near whisper now. "Your tolerance for madness is legendary." She adds with a quick smile before she leans back and lifts up the bottle of alcohol. The cork is taken out with the ue of just her thumb, further showing her strength and years of existing on this planet, alongside wine bottles!

With it opened, she offers some to Ele, before taking a sip herself. "Not quite what I prefer, but it'll do in the moment." She says playfully as a wind rushes across them upon their perilous perch...

Elektra Natchios has posed:
"Ridiculous life?" A laugh escapes Elektra and she shakes her head, "Should we start comparing notes on our lives?" she asks, the amusement in both her voice and expression showing. "But you are right in that I enjoy indulging you." she admits in the same whisper-like tone, her head curling against Selene's, forehead to forehead and remaining like so for a long time. At least until the champagne gets open with a thumb. "Show off.." she calls Selene, and then takes a sip from it, head craning back.

"And oh? What are you thinking on indulging on later on?" She asks once Selene speaks of preferring other beverages to Champagne, a smirk growing on her lips before the bottle is set aside.

Out through the city a chant is heard, of a countdown. People in the windows, or on squares, all counting down to New Year's. She grins as she senses it come close, resting her head back to they are cheek to cheek somewhat and the fireworks start popping up onto the sky in a myriad colors.

"Happy New Year, Selene." she calls out as celebration erupts all over New York.

Selene Corvinus has posed:
The bubbly is enjoyed with a tipping of the bottle back against her lips, before she lowers it. Her black hair waving in the winds as she sets the bottle down on the railing they are seated upon. When she hears the declaration of a Happy New Year from Ele, she looks out and over the city at the celebration. The Fireworks. She'd seen them before, but never really like this, not feeling anything connected to the rest of the world, to someone else.

She watches for a moment before she looks to Elektra. "Happy New Year." She says then, before her eyes flash the color of the moon high above. Her fangs become pronounced and she leans down and in to Elektra's neck.

It finally happens then, the Vampire partakes in a taste of the other woman.

She bites down on Elektra's neck, a spike of pain going in to Ele's body, followed by a rush of endorphins and pleasure! It's a shift from pain to pure blissful joy, unlike any drug one may have ever indulged in before!

She just stays like this for awhile, biting, connected to her lover like few others could ever be!

Elektra Natchios has posed:
It's a dream come true for Elektra. Spending this occasion with someone that has grown so close to her. Someone that cares. It's the kind of happiness she isn't sure she deserves but she will take it nonetheless for we have already established Elektra is anything but shy or hesitant. So as fireworks start exploding a bit all over the city she laughs again, another drink from the bottle. She is just about to offer it to Selene when she sees it..

The moon eyes. Danger. The fangs. There's that sixth sense that warns her of it, the prickling sensation on the base of her neck but instead of running she goes towards it full throttle, neck craning to the side just so, accepting it. She knows it would come sooner or later.

As those fangs sink in a gasp escapes her, along with all breath, being replaced with pleasure as her eyes widen in surprise. More than she expected. Much more.

She sways in Selene's arms, the hand that was already up on her cheek further up to curl through the woman's dark hair, pulling her close gently even as her heartbeat thunders within her chest at the intensity of it all.

And so she loses herself in the arms of her lover, fully at Selene's mercy, a surrender of tonight and looking forward to what the next year would bring. For what good is tonight if not to foster dreams and hopes? Even for a ruthless assassin and a 600 year-old vampire.
