<div class="floatleft">(http://imageshack.com/a/img819/677/52yfc.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Nicola Livia Douglas<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Her home on Persephone, Southdown Hills<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Sheydran Corsei<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>A blue satin dress<br/><br/><hr/><br/>It wasn't often that a Registered Companion visited Persephone. Word of Shey's arrival had preceded her, as some of Nicola's lady friends knew all the news and gossip. She'd intended just to view Shey's profile, but a few minutes had turned into hours as she pored over the Companion database. What had begun as curiousity bloomed into interest, enough that she requested Shey's company on the night of Mason Kincaid's party. She was fascinated, not just by her beauty, but felt compelled to meet her. The merest notion of time spent alone set her stomach aflutter with butterflies, but first she would have to see what Shey thought of her request. She might prefer a male client, after all, or a woman of different traits than her own.<br/><br/>Nicola knew the Companions Guild didn't have much information on her, and in part that was because she'd never hired a Companion before. She gave the required details and little more, hesitant to give out information except where necessary, but she hoped it wouldn't go against her either. She saw it as taking little steps, even though contacting Shey at all was more akin to taking a plunge. One she enjoyed already, whether the lady chose her or not. Nicola wondered what she would be like to speak to, dance with.. touch. It was like a mystery, where she wished to find pieces of a greater puzzle and assemble them, a bit at a time.<br/><br/>She felt excited and bubbly, more than she could remember, as she waited for Shey to contact her. Would she send her a wave? Nicola had dressed especially nicely, just in case. Shey's video arrived sooner than she'd expected, and Nicola watched the flashing light for long moments before she triggered the video to watch it. She settled down on a padded seat in front of her dressing table, where the cortex screen sat on the wall above it. It intrigued her - the personality of this woman - Shey, as it shone through in the recording. She found herself watching it several times before the details of the contract and the terms sank in.<br/><br/>It was longer still before she sent a recording of her own. The young socialite appeared quite relaxed as she greeted her potential Companion. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Sheydran. I'm.. surprised but very pleased that you selected me.. my.. request. The party begins at 8 and I'd envisioned being there around 7.30, so it would be a good time to meet. I would like to meet you there as I have some business to attend to first, so I will send a driver for you as you request. You would.. will staying at my home overnight." Here a blush coloured Nicola's cheeks ever-so-slightly, enough to suggest she was considering a lively evening.<br/><br/>"I will sign and have the credits transferred to your account tonight and the contract as you have it is fine. You should know that the event is a cocktail party and poker tournament. I will be wearing a dark green cocktail dress." She said this with a smile, as if she looked forward to it in particular. "I look forward to meeting you in person." The video ended there, and Shey wouldn't have seen the look of 'Oh my god, am I really going to do this? Yes. Yes I am!' that Nicola gave herself,  after that video was done.<br/>
