Artposal

Covet: Rochelle was wandering around looking at the different pieces that were on display, between Felix's photography and the different art exhibits. She had a glass of wine in her hand and was munching on some of the little snacks that were being walked around. There was ambient music playing and there were people all over the place socializing and looking at the art. It was a lot of the strange, eclectic people of Portland. // Felix had been kind of antsy all night as he talked to the different visitors, being social himself, but his mind was completely elsewhere as he talked to them keeping his words short and cordial. // Cadence came out of the bathroom having gone into change Trick. He was all bundled up in the special fabric wrap that had skulls on it and complimented her leather jacket, skirt and boots, with her black lacy top. Looking like a badass mom and shit.
Alexithymiaa: (All I saw was badass mom and I was like YAAAAAAAAS Cadence)
Covet: [XD]
Alexithymiaa: -Steph was standing with a glass of white wine in her hand, her eyes tuned to the large tapestry on the wall closest to her. She brought her glass up to her lips, careful not to smudge her lipstick because she definitely spent more time getting ready for Felix's big show than she had for anything else all year. She turned to see Cadence coming out of the bathroom with Trick, waving her over, but meeting her halfway. "Everything good?"-
Covet: Rochelle waked over to where Steph and Cadence were, Have you ladies seen all the exhibits yet?"// Felix saw His mom, Steph and Cadence meeting up, and started making his way over to them, He needed to talk to Cadence real quick. // "Yep, just needed to do a diaper change. No biggie." Cadence said to Steph then looked at Felix's mom, "I haven't gone upstairs at all yet."
Alexithymiaa: "Good." She leaned in to pinch Trick's little cheek because adorable before gesturing down to her shoes. "I just wanted to make a point of drawing your attention to my shoes, which were present at your wedding and I'd like to say that I totally got to wear them again." She ssaid it so triumphantly because everyone knows you dont get to rewear bridesmaid stuff. She turned to look at Rochelle when she came over, shaking her head. "I haven't been able to get past this area. Everytime I start to move on, I see something I missed and circle back. And I wwant pictures of Felix in front of everything."-
Covet: Laughing, Rochelle nodded. "Well it looks like we might be able to do that now. He's been pretty busy, entertaining."// Felix walked up to them and smiled, "Red, Mom, Cadence and Co. Can I steal you for a second Cadence, I just need to talk to you for a second." // Cadence grinned, holding the baby, rubbing his back as she looked down at Steph's shoes, "I saw, I knew what I was picking out fuck only getting to wear fancy things once. I'll figure out how to wear my wedding dress again, maybe.. if I can still fit in it." She laughed, then looked at Felix, "Uh.. Yeah sure.. Steph, do you want to take Trick for a second?"
Alexithymiaa: "Oh good." She said and cut that shit real short when Felix was trying to flee again with Cadence. "Wait, I didn't get any pictures of you in front of your work yet. What am I going to put on the fridge next to yourmacaroni art?" She asked with a pout before putting her hands out for Trick. "Oh boy, double sided tape don't fail me now." She brought him up to her shoulder, rocking him gently.-
Covet: Rochelle laughed at Steph's response. "Make it quick, I want copies of these pictures to put on my fridge too." She looked at Steph and gave the baby attention because adorable baby. // "Ha ha, to both of you. I'll be just a second, then you can get all the pictures you want." He said then walked off, assuming Cadence would follow. // She handed the baby off to Steph and made her way over to where Felix was at, "What's up?"
Alexithymiaa: -She rocked Trick in her arms, looking at Rochelle. "He better come back. I was serious about those pictures. I want pictures of him in front of every piece of his art in here. Every single one.And I'll send them all to you. And he doesn't have a choice because we're allowed to be proud of him, dammit." She said before covering Trick's ears. "Oops, sorry Trick. Don't tell mommy." // The Kittens had been wandering the show together all dressed considerably more conservative than how they're usually seen in public together. It was still black, but all tits and asses were in their clothes. The group walked by Cadence and Felix, waving at them as they continued to browse. Everyones here for the support.-
Covet: [as if Cadence didn't just say fuck right next to his head 2 seconds ago XD]
Covet: "He'll be back, Even if we have to drag him." Rochelle said, "I never did master not swearing in front of the boys. I take full responsibility for their foul mouths." // Felix waved at the girls from the band as they walked by then looked at Cadence. "I know Steph wants pictures, so I'll do a few of those, then I need you guys to check out the rest of the stuff, I'll send you a message when I need you guys all to the left, where it's blocked off with the rope. When you guys get up there, will you video call Bryan?" // Cadence listened to him, "Why do I feel like I'm being looped into some covert operation here? I'll do it... but what are you up to?"
Alexithymiaa: (Cadence is like.... "I know a scheme when I hear one. I lit people on fire.")
Covet: [XD]
Alexithymiaa: "I mean, he's not really that bad. I'm probably worse than he is. Not that it's saying much because my family is really bad. Well... you know. You met my brother. It's part of his dialect." She said with a roll of her eyes, glancing over to Felix and Cadence. "He better hurry up."-
Covet: "Oh I remember rather well." Rochelle said with a chuckle. // Felix rolled his eyes, "I can't tell you all that, just ...please... can you do that for me, I promise you'll find out soon." // Cadence kept her gaze narrow on him for a second, then spoke, "Fine... I'll do it... but... you owe me in the future." She said as she started back over to the other two and the baby. "Okay, So... pictures now right? " She asked holding her arms out for Trick.
Alexithymiaa: -Steph nodded and passed Trick back over to Cadence, looking down at the top of her dress to make sure she was still good because risky boobs. "Okay, pictures. I'm getting my pictures if I have to kill him." She said as she stalked over to him, pulling her phone from the dainty bag on her shoulder. "There. Go. Stand in front of that. Which ones are your favorite?" She asked, opening the camera and snapping candids. Impatient.-
Covet: Rochelle followed along, keeping pace with Cadence. Just sipping on her wine. // Felix looked aorund and pointed at the tapestry of the cactus, and the forrest, "Those two are mine, the trees on this back wall are mine, but my favorite one is on the next level. But.. I'm kind of afraid you're going to kill me over it, even though it was Gerard's favorite and what got him to set up this whole gallery to begin with." He said to the girls, because now he was guiding them through it. He went to stand next to the two tapestries downstairs that were his, and the other photos while he spoke. // Cadence leaned into Rochelle and whispered, " You're his mom, does he seem nervous to you at all? Something's off with him."
Alexithymiaa: -She took pictures of him in front of his art as he guided them, lowering her phone and narrowing her eyes. "First of all, I know which pictures are yours. I asked which are your favorite. And I swear if there are naked pictures of me in this gallery I will hurt you." She said as she followed him. She held back a comment about his listening skills because that's tactless.-
Covet: "I'll help." Rochelle said in response to Steph's comment, then looked back at Cadence, speaking softly, "I assume it's just nerves over the event tonight? Why do you think something's off?" // "It's nothing nude. I promise." Felix said as he started to climb up the stairs. Once at the top of the second level he took a left where Steph's Wrapped Christmas Light photo was blown up onto a large frame, with lights surrounding it. // Cadence leaned back over, "Because he asked me to video call Bryan, and he doesn't even like Bryan. And He pretty much said he was or has been plotting something."
Alexithymiaa: -She followed him up the stairs, struggling just a bit because her attire wasnt practical. "These shoes aren't comfortable..." She grumbled, turning to see the picture blown up on the wall. Her eyes went wide, instantly shooting a look at him. "What did I say on Tuesday? Did I not say no compromising pictures?" She asked, smacking his chest a little less than playfully.-
Covet: Biting her lip as she watched Steph assault Felix, she did her best to hold back her smirk, letting her son deal with his own consequences, "He might have something planned to make up for that, she's so not happy with him." // "Hey, Ouch.. Excuse you... It's not compromising. It's unique, different, stunning. And if you knew how many people have already asked if they could purchase it, and the prices offered, you'd be hugging me not hitting me." He said then pulled his phone out, "Speaking of... Gerard needs me upstairs real quick.. I'll meet you upstairs for more pictures." He said leaning in to give her a kiss, before he dashed away quickly.// Cadence gave a shrug, "Yeah, that might be it...But.. Felix has a point, that's a pretty hot picture, in an artistic way, not pornographic."
Alexithymiaa: -She let out a huff as he kissed her and ran off up the stairs. "It's not even fair. I can't chase him in these shoes. He's at an unfair advantage." She turned to look up at the picture again, chewing the inside of her cheek. "I liked some of the others we took more, but I guess out of the series this is the most appropriate." She started toward the stairs, heading up to the third level. "He better not be fleeing from pictures. Just because I want to slap him right now doesn't mean I don't still want pictures of him in front of every piece."-
Covet: "If that's why he's running, then he doesn't deserve your kind of devotion for this." Rochelle said with a smile. "We can still check out the rest of the stuff though." She said heading for the stairs. // Felix rushed up the stairs, not actually gettng a message from Gerard at all, but wanted to get into place upstairs first. He slipped behind the rope and checked on everything first. Making sure the camera was lined up and the white backdrop was ready. He'd done his best to make sure there was no bright flashes going on in this area because he didn't want the surprise ruined. // Cadence laughed, "I'm sorry, that I got you uncomfortable shoes, You could probably just take them off and walk barefoot. nobody would blame you." She said walking up the stairs slowly with them, cradling Trick against herself.
Alexithymiaa: "They make the outfit though. I can't. This is like a super edgy gallery, I can't ruin the look." She said as she made it to the top of the stairs. Looking around, the first thing that caught her eye was the picture on the wall to the right. "I dont think I've seen a single piece that I didn't like." She said, continuing on to the next room and seeing another tapestry and all the roses on the walls, her heart instantly going a little gooey because cute.-
Covet: "Well if you need a break we can always find somewhere to sit." Rochelle said, looking up at the picture on the tapestry, "Did you guys take that one together?" [for all intents and purposes yeah.] // Felix was pacing about a bit as he reached into his pocket where he had the ring he'd had custom ordered a couple weeks ago. Breathing on it, it made sure it was looking all sorts of extra shiny, before he pulled his phone out of his pocket and sent at text to Cadence then to the Kittens as well to get upstairs and to wait by the rope. // Cadence felt her phone go off, and looked at it. "Apparently we're supposed to go to the roped off room now?" She said making it sound like an oblivious question.
Alexithymiaa: -Looking up at the tapestry, she nodded her head. "Yeah. That was a cool one." She said, running her hand over one of the flowers on the wall before looking at Cadence. "Oh, is it like a performance piece?" She asked, starting to head in that direction. She stopped at the rope of the darker room, glancing over her shoulder to see the Kittens coming up the stairs to join them. "I feel like we should come here to write music. Everything is so thought provoking."-
Covet: Rochelle smiled, "It's very sweet, I like it a lot. This one is probably my most favorite." // Felix went and stood by the rope, seeing the Kittens, and His mom, Cadence and Steph walking up. "This is a special viewing, for just you guys, for now." Felix told them with a smile. "Steph I need you to come in first and have a seat there in the setting, Then the rest of you can stand around, and out of the scene if you'd like." He explained, then looked at Cadence giving her a thumbs up, to call Bryan. // Cadence pulled out her phone and dialed Bryan, pulling up her video camera. She put a finger up to her lips so when he answered he'd see that he needed to be quiet.
Alexithymiaa: "I had a feeling knowing the photographer would pay off eventually." She said with a laugh, stepping forward and looking at the scene. She moved forward carefully around the tripods set up, walking over to the chair and having a seat, thankful to be off her feet. "If I'm sitting here how well I get to see it?" // The kittens swarmed in, not needing to be asked twice as they gathered around at the back. // Bryan answered the video call, his head ducked to the side and he was holding Hennessey up in his place like a fucking jackass, pretending she was coming out of his shoulders.-
Covet: Rochelle walked in and looked at her son, then the set up, very confused about all of this. //. Felix smiled and looked at her, "Shhh, You'll see... in a second." He went back to the camera to make sure it was set up to do the bright flashes first to develop the words, then stay on a steady glow to take more pictures after that, automatically. he looked over at Cadence and she gave him a subtle nod.// As she looked at the phone and whispered, "Watch this you jerk." Cadence said then turned on the front facing camera instead so he could see what was going on.
Alexithymiaa: -She squinted when the strobes went off, blinking back the spots she was now seeing. She saw the faint faces of her bandmates jaws dropping to the floor because they were all staring at the tapestry behind her when it developed. "What's going on?" // Bryan set the dog down, watching what was happening, CJ quickly joining him in the camera frame so they could both watch. CJ loves this shit.-
Covet: Felix knew she'd be blinded after the first test flashes and had moved from behind the camera to stand in front of her before he motioned for her to look at the material behind her. While she was looking away, he kneeled down and pulled the ring out of his pocket holding it up to her, [https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1sgGmj6nD8KJjSspbq6zbEXXax/-.jpg]"So...Red... What do you say? Are you willing to marry this brainless, forgetful, scarecrow?" he asked with a cocky little smirk, at his own little game.// One of Rochelle's hands was on her mouth, and the other had Grabbed and squeezed Cadence's, and She was cradling Trick with her arm while her hand held the phone for Bryan to see too, nearly in tears.
Alexithymiaa: -She twisted in her chair to look behind her at the words on the tapestry, scanning them over several times. Turning back around quickly to see him kneeling in front of her with the ring in his hand, her eyes started to well up with tears because this is what she does. She started to nod frantically, her right hand moving to her left to pull off the owl ring she'd been wearing so she could put her hand out to him. That's what you do, right? "I... I.. I thought..." She trailed off, completely speechless. // Bryan and CJ are literally silently cheering. They dont hate Felix which is all that can be asked of Bryan.-
Covet: Felix nodded his head at her, "Well yeah, and usually there's a word or two said to confirm your answer." He said being his cheeky self even in this moment. He took her hand and slid the ring onto it, replacing the owl ring. // Everyone else was just emotionally happy in all sorts of ways.
Covet: Dammit I forgot the other half of what Felix was gonna say.
CovetCovet : *[]
Covet: ** usually there's a word or two said to confirm your answer, but I'll take the head nod as you saying yes, cause obviously she was in shock over it.
Covet: yes." ****
Covet: [all the fails]
Alexithymiaa: -She blinked back the tears in her eyes, waiting for him to slide the ring onto her finger before she jumped out of her chair, throwing her arms around him to squeeze him tightly. "I love you." She managed to choke out.-
Covet: "I love you too, Steph." He told her giving her a kiss back, and everyone cheered and was ecstatic. Felix had the whole thing in snap shots, and it'd be saved and played over a monitor for the remainder of the gallery showing for the week, in this area.
