Okay, cue the campy intro song about young monsters with plans to make it big in the big city. . .
Donar
Donar's Penthouse
Donar sighed, running his thumb over the edge of the leather bound journal. It contained many a coded note to himself, which he really never read if he was honest, because they were horribly depressing, but the current page held the sketch of a vaguely familiar face. The problem was that it was only vaguely familiar, something was missing, but he couldn't quite decide what, and the poor boy was no longer around for him to compare it too. It bothered him somewhere deep inside that he couldn't remember someone he'd been around that long well enough to properly render their face. And aside from that, he missed him, making this whole exercise depressing as well.
Sighing again he shut the journal and got up. He slid it back onto the bookshelf near his bed. The shelf mostly contained an eclectic collection of books on magic, some helpful and some laughably inaccurate.
He strolled across the room and opened his closet. It was about time that he got changed. It was almost dusk, and his guests would be arriving soon, a mixture of monsters like himself and some 'lucky' humans for them to feed on. Lucky as in, like how great was it to get invited to a happening penthouse party, in the wealthy upper east side? Never mind that a lot of them would not make it through the night, it would be a great night for them up until then.
For the monsters this party would be a chance to unwind and relax. And be themselves once they started snacking on mortals. There were a couple spare bedrooms that could be used for that, to extend the illusion of a normal fancy party. His monster guests knew how parties like this worked.
But for Donar it was also a chance to make some connections. He had an idea, or half an idea, of how to improve the city. But he needed to get some influential monsters on-board. And strange as it sounded, he definitely needed to get some angels on-board too. But not tonight. Angels were all about the greater good, so though his political skills might be a bit rusty, he was pretty sure he could sell the concept to them, as long as there weren't people being eaten nearby to distract them. He'd have to work on the angels later.
He selected a well tailored black suit, he found it nice that men's formal wear had not changed too much. Then with a vest, a cravat, and a blood red brooch, anyone could look like a stylish old devil. And one last thing, he slipped his little alchemy ledger into the inside pocket. Then he moved into the bathroom to tidy up his hair. It was getting kind of long, but then he was told the long upward style was fashionable, and it certainly seemed to suit him.
Meanwhile the few nameless minion he bothered to keep on hand nowadays were preparing refreshments or running security checks. He let most his underlings run free and do their own thing, it was too much work to get attached to minions that would eventually get themselves killed. Instead he opted for a handful of his less intelligent minions that he could easily control, even from a distance.
One such minion was stationed in front of the private elevator that went up to the penthouse. He held a clipboard, ready to compare guests invites to the list of invites Donar had sent out. Or rather had had sent out, since he had minions to do that tedious kind of thing for him. One of them had decided on doing eVites, which were something guests could pull up on their phones to save paper, and more importantly not leave a paper trail for slayers to follow. To Donar this was just some newfangled jibber jabber, but as long as his guests showed up and slayers didn't, that was fine with him.
He moved out into the main room to wait for his guest, snatching up a flute of champagne as he entered. The first person to arrive was, predictably, a mousy little human who worked at a book shop. He was pretty sure this was the first time she'd been invited to a party other then a kid's birthday party, and in her excitement had not even considered the convention of showing up fashionably late. She looked around shyly, “Wow Donar, your apartment is bigger then the house I grew up in. . . Oh, nobody's here yet? Am I t-too early?”
“You're right on time Tina, the other guests should be here soon,” Donar reassured her, as he picked up another champagne glass and offered it to her. He considered slipping some sleeping potion in it, but it seemed like bad form to start eating guests this early. Besides, he really should be out here to welcome the rest of his guests.
