OOC: Everyone from the OED V cabinet is welcome to this reception!IC:
Shinzak of Remus wanted to introduce himself to every single cabinet member in the most lavish way possible. To do so, he decided to throw a lavish reception at his mansion. As mentioned before, his mansion was smaller than that of both the governor and his lieutenant as a means of not inciting too much jealousy from his superiors, something that could mean doom.
Shinzak decided on simply having drinks at his private bar in his basement. It was easy and simple and would not require making inquiries about each cabinet officer’s particular nutritional tastes.
He would send an invitation to each cabinet officer inviting them to a drinks reception at his home in his lavishly decorated basement at a given time. He’d have his bodyguard acting as a bartender and would have some 19th-century Earth music on from the opera Faust by Charles Gounod upon their arrival.

In his quarters, Nicholas held a PaDD as he looked in the mirror. He was contemplating what colour his eyes should be. Every disguise was down to the finest detail. [Iris Colour: Blue] was the current setting. He rotated it. [Iris Colour: Brown.] His eyes changed to a dark brown. He put on a pair of false glasses. [Stimulate Beard Growth: 4 Days.] A neat, and only just full beard grew in. In a sharp looking, seemingly expensive, blue suit, his guise was complete. A lot was unethical about what was done to him. But now he made full and effective use of everything Section 31’s experiments gave. He picked up a mini PaDD with a forged invitation. It requested the presence of one Nicholas Ramsay, CEO of a terraforming company.
He arrived at Shinzak’s mansion and took in all the details as he was led downstairs. The servant who brought him down announced him. “Mr Nicholas Ramsay, CEO of Evergreen Terraforming.” The servant then went over to Shinzak and whispered “I do not recall placing him on the guest list, but he has an invitation with him.”

OOC: It’s entirely possible Shinzak will be able to see through your disguise. Just a fair warning before we start.
“Hello there, mister Ramsay. Might I inquire as to how you came to acquire knowledge of this reception tonight?” Shinzak would ask, with an air of politeness.

“I received this-“ he withdrew the PaDD from his pocket. On it was a mixture of the wording from three intercepted genuine invitations. It was even signed the same as the genuine articles. “invitation to a prestigious event. I tell you, it couldn’t have come at a better time. My company is about to propose a new biosphere here. Maybe that’s how I ended up on your radar. Or your staff’s rather.” Nicholas Ramsay could not have been more different from Nicholas James. He had what the CIO did not. An outward personality. Nicholas Ramsay was a businessman. Charm, a little salesman’s graft, but everything with his being at the reception seemed in order. The only thing out of place about him was his eyes. While he was beaming a genuine smile, his eyes were dead, almost machinelike.
…and that’s how Shinzak knew something was up. A genuine smile has a genuine eye inflection. Whether or not Ramsay was on the list, there was something off about him. Shinzak had specified only cabinet officers. Why the fuck was a CEO here?
“Very well, Mister Ramsay, please enter.”
Shinzak would let the “businessman” enter the mansion. When he was out of ear shot, Shinzak would tell a security detail member to keep a very close eye on this “mister Ramsay” character. He would also do some private research on his own.

It was at this point that Michael Halloway arrived outside the mansion of the Head of Mining. With him a blonde not much taller than he with the evident markings of a half-napean on her forehead.
Halloway grinned at her, his thoughts being quite easily read by his wife. Hopefully we don’t encounter an incident like the last party that was thrown for us.
She shook her head. For both of our sakes, I hope you’re right.
Halloway waited at the door to be let in.
-Governor Michael Halloway
“Hello your excellency!” a security guard said. “Please enter!”

OOC: Just a reminder. PG on the language. We do have minors as club members.

Shortly after the Governor, Isaria approached the entryway of Shinzak’s mansion. Draped over her forearm a shawl she found it too warm to wear, paired with a smile her face seemed too blue for.
Thavos seldom attended such large gatherings by choice, which made it such an oddity that she had shown up. She’d yet to meet their newest cabinet member and she doubted there would be any further opportunities.
Standing at the door, Isaria tucked a strand of loose hair behind her ear, waiting.
