These people are seated here, underlit by an electric orb on the brocade table cloth, lit from above by cool colored chandeliers. They have champagne glasses and a bottle in the middle of the table, but don't seem very thirsty.

A totally weird group of people. The woman has her arms folded tightly, and the young man seated near her looks extremely agitated, though he is trying to smile. The old man sits behind, leering placidly at the crowd.

Jason nervously but casually walked over to the table. He quickly analyzes the three guests as he traced his finger-tips along the brocade table cloth. He could tell that the younger man seemed somewhat irritated while the older man was just...sitting there. But, for some reason he couldn't read the woman.
The colored chandeliers illuminate on the sweater that he had borrowed from Eli.
He opens his mouth with a settle smile,"Mind if I join you three? I don't think I correctly introduced myself- I'm Jason"

Old man- "Step right up, son." The redhead shoots the young man a look and in a fraction of a second he's up to pull a chair out for Jason. Old man- "You go straight for the top, don't you?"
Woman- "Tomasz is the most powerful person in this room. You may call him Dragomir. I am Sarah and this is Tristan."
The young man whispers 'Trees-tehn', and goes back to studying his fingernails.Sarah- "So what do you do? I couldn't keep track of it all."

Jason makes a gesture of "thank-you" as Tristan pulls out the chair for him. He seemed delighted to meet such an unrelated bunch. "Nice to meet you all. And I'm studying to become a Medical Illustrator down at HU. Occupation wise, I work down at this tattoo parlor near my university. It doesn't pay much on some days- others it does. But, It pays the bills. What about you three? What do you do around here?"

Jason silently laughs a little to himself then ceases to think about the question.
" That's a pretty deep question. I haven't really thought about it...I guess all I want to do is live out my life to the fullest. When I was younger all I ever did was rebel and put myself in situations where I could've been killed; sometimes I would even put my own family's life on the line. So, I want to make up for those times and try to be the best person I can be. Its doesn't really answer the question but I tried my best to do so."

Dragomir- "'Best person you can be'? I can understand trying to be the best, but it sounds like you're trying to be the best ethically. That's a dead end, kiddo. I mean, you've obviously had a few. Do you feel bad about that? If you do, why bother?"

Jason felt a little surprised at Dragomir's response. It honestly caught him off guard. But at this point, he was prepared for anything.
Jason took a long sigh as he prepared himself to respond. Then, he proceeded to speak..." What I said probably came off differently than it was intended to. But by all means, I could never be the best ethnically. All I was trying to say is that I was trying to be the best "me". I'm not the type of person to sugar coat things so I'm going to go ahead and be completely honest with you. You're right; I've had quite a bit actually. But I don't regret it. I'm at a party at the most elaborate mansion I've ever seen. I'm going to make the most out of this experience. And its been a few hours since my last drink so I think I can handle myself for now. I do appreciate you being blunt with me and I'm sorry if I disappointed you but I can't take back what's already been done."

Dragomir- "Relax kiddo. I'm glad to hear it isn't about some kinda bullshit religious sense. I can respect trying to honor your family and all that. But righteousness makes sheep out of men." Jason couldn't help but remember something like, "Those who deny the Lord of Lords, yea, even on pain of death, they are accursed and damned." Also "honoring your family" kinda reminded him about how he learned growing up that some family should never be honored. Dragomir was pushing bad buttons...

A strong sense of anger and irritability began to overwhelm Jason.Unfortunately, it was evident that Dragomir was pushing all the wrong buttons. His temper raised along with his heartbeat-a bomb was about to go off. Jason, as furious as he was, decided not to let his temper get the best of him...this time- even though Jason wasn't the type to let bullshit pass him like this. He wasn't about to get extruded out of this mansion just when things got interesting. Jason calmed his nerves and decided it was in his best interest to take his company elsewhere...Jason proceed to take a long deep breathe to calm his nerves before he spoke, "Well, its best that I be going now so I can get to know a little bit about the other folks. It was a pleasure meeting you three and I hope to see you again sometime." Lies immersed throughout his throat as he spoke with a forced smile..

After he left, Tomasz- "Goddite. Psssh."
Courtney- "Hello, mind if we sit? I'm Courtney and this is Cameron."
Sarah- "Knock yourselves out..."
Everyone was too preoccupied with their own issues to notice how this one went. Courtney and Cameron managed to come over as forgettable and inoffensive. Win! Or not. Could be worse.
This table was subsequently opened, as Courtney and Cameron went onto the next person.

They seemed a bit mysterious, but ready to play... whatever this is. Sarah- "As you please..."

Trevor takes a seat and smiles at the guests without a hint of nervousness.
Trevor - "If you don't mind me asking what is your connection with Mr. Marchese?"
