Classy Mini-Golf Rules

- We will keep it to 6 holes.
- All holes are Par 3: +roll Dexterity+Athletics vs 6; your score for the hole is:
       * 1 - for 5+ successes
       * 2 - for 4 successes
       * 3 - for 3 Successes
       * 4 - for 2 successes
       * 5 - for 1 success
       * 6 - for 0 successes
       * 6 - for -1 successes, and you suffer a minor embarrassment or injury.
- Style wins points --- +roll Appearance+Performance vs 6 (or Appearance+Style vs 5) once and SUBTRACT the number of successes from your score.
- Players using Obfuscate can do style rolls with Manipulation instead of Appearance
- If you dressed up or in costume you start with a score of -3.
- Cheating is par for the course (rimshot) --- but don't get caught. If someone calls you out for cheating, you gain a point.

Zago enters the mini-golf course with Silvana on his arm. Tonight, he is camping it up. He wears a black top hat, a little black mask tied around his eyes, a red and pointy formal tuxedo jacket with dark shirt and pants, and glossy dress shoes. Can he pull it off? Or is he a dork?

Silvana is holding onto Zago's arm as she comes in dressed a beautiul strapless gown with a lot of sequinds on the bodice and the skir is made of this lovely taffeta.

Daphnne is standing by the entrance with her arm linked through Gregory's. Tonight she has chosen to wear a retro golf look. Simple, but stylish the beautiful blonde smiles radiantly at people as they arrive. She is dressed in white knickers with black and white harlequin diamond pattern shirt and matching socks. A classic white golf hat completes the outfit. https://cityofhopemush.net/images/7/72/Daph_Golf.jpg

Gregory carries both his own and Daphnne's putters as they arrive for the event.sporting his own retro chic golfsuit of long shorts and striped sweater. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b0/e5/9a/b0e59a04d981b29fe92156ade300827f.png

Ed makes her way into the mini-gulf area, wearing a simple dress and a face that is haloed by a mane of frizzy black hair. A few more taps on her phone, then she slides it into a hidden pocket. Smoothing out the front of her dress, she assess those that have already gathered.

Daphnne with a glance over at the busy Keeper Colombe she smiles to Zago and Silvana, "Welcome to the Eternal Fun Emporium's Mini Golf Course. You both look wonderful." She turns as Ed enters, "Good evening, Sheriff, so glad to see you join us tonight."

Io has arrived tonight in a beaded dark green gown, one shouldered, slit up the thigh and feather accents. It's really a quite beautiful formal. She smiles at those present, "Good evening!" She says pertly.

Silvana smiles at Daphnee and bows her head "Thank you" she gives polite nods and then smiles at Zago.

Io has arrived tonight in a beaded dark green gown, one shouldered, slit up the thigh and feather accents. It's really a quite beautiful formal. She smiles at those present, "Good evening!" She says pertly.

"So do you," Zago says to Daphnne. "You're clearly ready to hit the links. Thank you for having us." He smiles politely to Daphnne, then heads on to pick up a putter and some golf balls.

Daphnne has chosen to wear a retro golf look tonight instead of her more normal formal dress. She is in a classic style of black and white harlequin diamonds knickers and blouse with a matching hat. She stands near the entrance with her arm through Gregory's, her retro chic partner tonight, and greets people as they arrive. She smiles over at Io, "Good evening! You look so beautiful. Is that one of Madeline's creations?"

Io shakes her head as she takes a step toward Daphnne, "No. This is one from another designer that has had the grace to style for my height. But because it is not one of the Emeritus' designs, if it gets ripped or damaged tonight, I am not overly concerned. I would hate for one of Madeline's designs to come to a bad end playing mini golf."

Tonight the mini golf course at the Fun Emporium is closed for this private event. The ambient lighting is low, with neon accents here and there. A light musical playlist is playing in the background. As people arrive, and get their equipment, Colombe greets Daphnne and grins at her ensemble. "You both look beautiful. And I agree. Gaultier for me tonight." Indeed, she went runway -- she shines brightly in vintage Gaultier, a celestial creature in an ivory slip dress, adorned with a wisp of sheer ivory silk. The sheer silk is attached to the dress, appearing to be burned-in with an appliqué depicting a holy chalice. Her hair is long and straight, and a disk, emulating a saintly halo, is affixed to the crown of her head. "I think it's time we got started."

Daphnne gives a little gasp of delight at Colombe, "You look simply stunning, dearest Colombe. You quite 'outshine' all of us I fear." She moves to the side then as the Keeper announces the start of the game, although she lingers near the entrance way to greet any other arriving guests.

Zago returns with two putters, one sized for Silvana and one for him. He looks out at all of the beautiful vampires, and when Colombe at last enters the scene, he gets ready to putt, turning to Silvana with a grin. "I'm glad we came out tonight."

Gregory lingers beside Daphnne, offering the various well wishers a nod and land 'hello' as they finish their pleasantries

Silvana smiles as Zago brings her a putter "Thanks" she looks around "Wow everyone is so dressed up"

Ed rubs at the bridge of her nose, as she considers Colombe's outfit. "Okay, how long did it take to get you done up like that?" She asks with a bit of a smirk. "I'm guessing far longer than I'd have the patience for."

Ambrosia Lasalle's golf attire tonight consists of a soft-pink and white lingerie and corset pairing that would have drawn the attention of everyone on the street if she hadn't arrived under the guise of Obfuscation. The scrawny waif fusses with her curly locks before she moves in from the entrance. "I should've eaten a golfer before coming here. What 'was' I thinking..."

Madeline arrives with a smile in time to hear Ed's comment. Curious eyes shift to Colombe and the Toreador Elder smiles "Magnifique" she comments, stepping over to greet the Keeper.

Io steps over to pick out a putter, and then comes back to look over the course and listen.

Zago smiles as he looks out at the crowd. "Lot of people went all-out for this," he says.

As the group gears up to play, a bright white spotlight illuminates a red carpet, inviting players toward the first hole, the Pirate Ship. Colombe gives Ed and Madeline a quiet grin, as she moves to take a position at the foot of the carpet. "Many hands make light work, Sheriff. That said, we shall begin, so grab a putter and a ball. The rules are standard mini-golf rules, with one cavaet --- you may cheat, but don't get caught. If you are called out, you lose one point. Further, an impartial panel of judges, a.k.a. my retainers, will be awarding style points to those dressed up, those in costume, and those who play it up on the course. You may play in groups, pairs, or solo --- and by all means, please have fun."

Amelie finds her way into the golf course, and is dressed for fun! Although maybe she picked the wrong outfit? Her steampunk-esque leather dress and corset may not be the best choice for playing mini golf. "Bon Soir everyone!"

Madeline brushes a kiss to Colombe's cheek then lifts a hand in greeting to Amelie "bon soir mon ami, have you played this game before perchance?

Io glances around at the people present, then steps forward, "If you need someone to go first, I would be happy to kick us off." She lifts her putter with a flourish. The lights sparkle off the beading of her dress, the feather accents flutter in the breeze as she poses with one leg extended just enough to be visible through the slit of the skirt of the dress.

Colombe invites Io to take the lead. She gives Madeline a gentle grin, and shakes her head. "It's always been on my list, but I have not yet had the opportunity. You?"

Daphnne is listening to Colombe and pats Gregory's arm before picking up her own putter, "Shall we, dearest?" She turns then as Amelie enters and gives the Herald a bright warm smile, "Good evening, how wonderful you could come. And I must say you look utterly fantastic and quite daring!"

Amelie returns the greetings to Madeline and Daphnne. "I have indeed played once before. I was a little trepidacious attending, considering my head became a target the last time I hosted such an event."

Io steps into the floodlighted area and offers a bow to Colombe (despite being in the dress). She then turns and sets her ball. She lines up the putt, and taps it. Straight into the hole. "Oh!" she laughs in genuine surprise.

Madeline blinks and laughs "A target? Who would dare do such a thing Herald?" she asks, shaking her head to COlombe "non but it does not seem too difficult" watching Io and applauding "Brava cheri!"

Zago says, “Most puissant.”

Gregory tucks the putterunder his arm and applauds Io's shot

Zago golf-claps.

Colombe smiles as she takes the time to enjoy the style on parade this evening. As Io dominates, she, too, claps and gives accolades. "An auspicious start to the game, Io! Bravo." As she speaks, she walks over to welcome Zago and Silvana, as they tend to keep to themselves. She keeps an eye on the eye-catching style of the others, observing those who step up to join the game.

Daphnne looks shocked and blinks her emerald eyes, "I quite agree. Although I am certain it was an accident?" She just catches Io's shot and gets an excited look, "Oh, she is a natural at this!"

"I think the Toreador Primogen cheated." Ambrosia calls out haughtily before she steps up to take her place at the first hole. She picked a black putter despite her soft-pink and white outfit and she steps up to take her shot... and rings the cup, leaving the ball two inches outside. A tap in and she is -1 Par!

Madeline smiles brightly at Io and thyen looks about for a club and ball, laughing warmly "The lady doth protest too much methinks" she comments to Abrosia

Amelie claps for Io, "Tres bon! Very nice!" She returns to Madeline and replies, "Oh, it was an accident, but seems that whenever Paige hit the ball, it soared toward my head. I swear I still have a bump 2 years later."

Silvana watching as people take their turn she looks at Zago and smiles "Well then, we should of practiced more" she nudges him with a giggle.

"Do you wish to challenge the Toreador Primogen for cheating, Primogen Lasalle?" Colombe asks, grinning with eyes twinkling. "Perhaps she might challenge you back."

Ed selects a putter and examines the metal rod, before giving it a bit of a twirl and then swinging it like a baseball bat. Yep, she could clearly take someone's head off with that thing.

Madeline smiles warmly at Amelie "I can well believe it but, thankfully no permanent damage was done to your lovely self" and finds a putter she likes, as if she even knows what to look for

Daphnne laughs softly, "Well she is not here this evening and I think if we stay behind the others as we go through the course you can stay protected. This type of golf does not require such a long and hard swing as the normal type."

"Challenge the Toreador? Never!" Ambrosia scoffs at Colombe as if she suggested something horrific. The Malkavian Primogen makes a show of bending over to collect her ball from the hall, butt wiggling in the direction of one of the Keeper's male ghouls, then she moves off toward the second hole and catches up with Io. "Hey... talk soon?"

Zago seems to welcome Colombe's presence. "People are here for this," he says. He smiles over at Silvana and says, "I'd rather not be seen trying quite so hard to smash my mini-golf competition," he jokes.

Colombe shakes her head at Ed. "Scary." She grins to Ambrosia, as her (quite) conditioned manservant gives Ambrosia's behind a non-trivial consideration, but manages to return to the mission at hand. Likely keeping score. She smiles to Zago and Silvana. "I've never played before. We could go together, if you like."

Silvana smiles at Zago "want me to block you so no one can see you smash the ball?" she winks then looks to Colombe "If you like too" she smiles "We are in no hurry enjoying watching the others"

As the players progress past the Pirate Ship hole, players will pass by a group of skeletal buccaneers positioned as if in the midst of a drunken party --- toward the Hungry Monsters hole. The player must get the ball through the mouths of a series of monsters --- it will take nerves of steel and extreme skill to sink a hole-in-one on this one.

Ed grins rather savagely at Colombe, as she keeps the club moving, clearly rather comfortable with the idea of using as a make-shift weapon. Setting the end of the putter on the ground, she leans some of her weight against it and considers the first hole. Consideration complete, she heads for the first hole and gives it a go.

Ed lines up with the hole and gives the ball a tap, watching passively as it bounces off a the wooden edges, then drops into the hole. Smirking, she heads over to the hole and collects her ball.

Zago golf-claps for Ed, next. "We got the next champs in this course tonight, folks," he says. "I am not one of them." He grins, and then goes to one over par, fetching his ball at the end.

Ed moves onto the next hole, not doing nearly so well, looking distinctly annoyed by the time she manages to get her ball into the second hole.

After the Hungry Monsters, is the Ventriloquist hole --- a fairly bumpy course that is terminated by the leering face of a ventriloquist dummy, mouth wide open.

Daphnne steps up to the first course with the next group.

Amelie takes her turn to attempt the first hole. It takes a few hits, but she gets the ball into the hole.

Io slows when Ambrosia approaches. She looks curious, but nods her head once, "Of course. At your convenience. Except for tomorrow night, I'm afraid. I already have plans tomorrow night." She moves to the second hole and sets up to try her own put, when its her turn.

Zago waits for Silvana to finish up. "Mini golf can be pretty infuriating sometimes, right?" he says to her.

Gregory steps up Daphnne and gives the ball the lightest of taps, as it smoothly sails all obstacles and plinks into the cup

Ambrosia steps up after Io and places her black ball down on the mat. "Date night, Primogen? At your convenience, really. We can meet at Akkadia some night. You have my number. Oh, nice shot!" She watches Io's ball before looking down and striking her own. It takes her four more strokes to get the hole in, pushing her score up to a +1 (before style points!). "Motherfu... oh, sorry Colombe!"

Past the Ventriloquist hole, is the baleful Cyclops. Oh the indignity of being one-eyed, and for that one-eye to be the object of so many balls.

Io turns to look at Ambrosia. She smiles, "Just didn't want to assume you would be available any time. But sure. I will give you a call." She uses her putter to point toward the next hole and asks Ambrosia, "Shall we?"

Silvana watches Zago hit the ball and she doesn't even wait as she moves to join him though she has a hard time seeing where the ball is with all the ruffles. She laugghs "So very infuriating" she laughs.

Daphnne glides the first course as if she is modeling rather than playing mini golf, and using her putter almost like an accessory to lean upon in a pose. She, like the Herald, has to tap the ball several times but she manages to get it into the hole. She blinks her eyes as she watches Gregory simply sail through the course.

Ed does a little better on the third hole, but not by all that much. She pauses and gives the leering ventriloquist head a bit of a look, the head of her golf club tap-tap-tapping on the ground. It rather looks as if she is contemplating doing something permanent and unfortunate to the fixture.

Now bestride the entrance to the hungry monsters hole, Zago appears ready to tee up, looking perfectly and unapologetically campy. This time he only takes three putts to get the ball in and past the obstacles.

"We shall." Ambrosia idly swings her putter in the air beside her as if she were wielding a baton in a marching band. "Have we checked the steroid for performance enhancing vitae?" She calls out behind her as she follows Io to the third hole.

Ed sneers at the ventriloquist head, before moving off to the cyclops. She lines up her shot, takes careful aim and a hole in one! Good mood restored, she grins widely.

Amelie waits for a chance to take her turn. She focuses on it, and it still takes her 4 full hits to get it into the hole. "This may just not be my game."

Io glances back at Ambrosia with a light laugh, "I don't think anyone has been tested." She fluffs her hair a bit, and then steps up to the third hole and sets the ball down. This time it takes her a few tries, but she's laughing at herself by the time she finally gets the ball in the hole, 4 taps later!

When Ed gets her shot, the Ventriloquist dummy's eyes roll, and his mouth closes, as he enjoys the tasty treat of Ed's ball. She can retrieve the ball on the other side. As she approaches the Cyclops, she will notice that the course requires a lot of power, because there is a spiral --- some luck will be required to deposit the ball into the Cyclops' single eye.

Daphnne smiles warmly to Amelie, "It does seem quite a challenged. You would not think hitting a little ball with a stick would prove so difficult." The second course with the monster seems to go much better for her, or perhaps it is simply luck when she taps the ball straight into the hole. With an amazed expression she exclaims, "I think I have discoveredd the secret! Simply tap the ball with your eyes closed." She laughs softly as she turns to watch Gregory.

Ambrosia slips in after Io and taps her black ball forward. She reads the angle perfectly and scores a hole in one on the third hole. "Maybe you should be testing me. Anyone want a bite?" The Malkavian smirks to herself before she moves up to collect her ball. "Let's catch up with Ed before she cheats herself to a win."

As Ed moves past the Cyclops, she approaches the Plumber Brothers. Yes, there is the proverbial pitfalls of plumber fashion on full display. And the brothers are eerily similar to this epic fellows who got their start dodging barrels being thrown by Donkey Kong.

Io has placed her putter to act as something of a cane to pose with and is doing so, until Ambrosia hits the third hole on the first shot. She lifts putter and claps. She nods and says, "Yes. Let's do it." With that she moves quickly toward the forth hole. She sets her ball down and lines up her shot on this hole as well. This one takes 3 shots for the petite Toreador. To make room for Ambrosia, she steps back with a flourishing bow, "May you do better than me!" she says.

More earnest effort from Zago gets one over par the first time, and three over par on the second. "Ah, the pitfalls of mini-golf," he says, adopting a graceful attitude about not doing great.

"Well, look at that, the people that keep sending shit my way," Ed says with a distinct smirk, as she lines up her shot and manages yet another hole in one! The Sheriff is on a roll tonight!

Ambrosia slips passed Io, giving a waft of the cheap, lilac-scented perfume she likes to wear. You can probably find it in a 24-hour Pharmacy's cosmetics section. She sets her ball, sets her stance, wiggles her butt, and then rings the hole again. "So close!" The goth steps up and taps the ball in for a birdie on the fourth hole. "The key is to close your eyes and let chaos take-over, Honeybear."

Io looks over at Ed's performance, then looks to Ambrosia, "One does have to wonder..." she says suggestively. She then laughs in surprise, "Honeybear?" She saunters over with a sway of her hips to get her ball and moves on to hole 5.

Amelie laughs with Daphnne's comment, "I will certainly try that on the next hole! Maybe I'll get lucky!"

Silvana grumbles as she figures a way to gather up her big puffy dress so she can see the ball and then while on hole three. She smiles as she hits the ball and sure enough it sinks easily enough and she does a little dance. Thankfully only Zago notices right.

Gregory watches all the vampires, enjoying his own round, even if not as smoothly as the first. "I think this is a game that can be quite addictive, especially with a particularly imaginative xourse."

Io steps up to hole 5, and sets the ball again. She pauses for a moment, as if hoping for paparazzi to take pictures, perhaps. Every inch the exotic one. And then it takes 3 tries to make the hole. She grins and shakes her head, "Maybe I /should/ close my eyes!" She comments as she steps back to make room for Ambrosia.

The final hole is a doozy --- if you like machines or are obsessed with things like causality, you have to enjoy a good Rube-Goldburg machine. And this last hole is it. Maybe you need skill to get things moving just so --- maybe it's luck. Probably, it is both!

Amelie heads on along to check out the third hole. "Ok. I think maybe I can do this." She closes her eyes and wills the ball toward the hole. VISUALIZING!

Daphnne nods her head to Amelie and twirls her putter, seeming to be in quite a good mood tonight, "Well, I must admit that I had a designer, and it was his ideas - or from what I understand his thief of a few ideas. I did not realize what a Mario brother was..."

Silvana is so getting the grove of this and looks over to Zago and smiles "Come on you can do it, your doing so well" she is moving to hole number five oh my so close to the end.

Zago waits for Silvana to catch up before he attempts the fifth hole, getting it in three. "Yeah, Nintendo's lawyers are fairly notorious," he tells her. Then he looks to Silvana and watches her. "You've been displaying some real holes-in-one, though. Look at you! Incredible!"

Io catches Amelie's performance and smiles broadly, "Oh nice, Amelie!" she applauds for her. She collects her ball, and drifts toward the last hole. She stands back and studies it for a moment thoughtfully."

Silvana looks over to Zago and shhhs fhim "Not so loud, people would pay attention" she giggles at him as she goes to the last hole.

Daphnne watches Amelie and gleefully begins to clap, "What an incredible shot!" She all but dances up to take her shot then.

Amelie sees it, she is the ball. And she taps the ball toward the hole. She just waits a few moments and then looks to see where the ball went. She cannot see it anywhere and walks through the course just to see the ball slip into the hole. SCORE!

Io finally steps up and takes her turn on the final hole. She lines up her shot and pauses a moment, closing her eyes. No, she doesn't make the show with her eyes closed, but she puts as /soon/ as her eyes open. And it goes in on the first shot! She lets out a whoop, and then slaps her hand over her mouth, "Sorry," She then calls in a sing song voice, but still does a little happy dance before going to collect her ball and moving out of the way.

And the final hole has been reached. Ed lines up her shot and taps the ball, following along closely behind it and crouching down low to examining the positioning when it fails to make it into the hole. Straightening up, Ed gives the ball another tap, sending it into the hole.

Amelie curtsies around to all that cheered for her amazing score, and does not seem to notice ANYTHING ELSE going on around her.

Zago has to putt carefully three times in order to sink the ball through the ludicrous Rube Goldberg device, but it does seem to work. "I'd like to thank the World Minigolf Federation for my inevitable minigolf accolades," he says, clearly kidding.

Another hole in one from Ambrosia... no she didn't close her eyes like she said you should, and she's trotting toward the next hole. The Malkavian seems focused now and she doesn't respond to Io or anyone else. Just drop ball. Hit ball. Repeat.

Perhaps it was the excitement of Amelie's shot, but Daphnne's 'blind' shot doesn't work as well as hers. Instead of going smoothly into the hole Daphnne's ball sails past the ventriloquist dummy and into the side shrubbery to disappear. She looks a bit mystified as she goes in search of it and can not locate it.

Io happy dances again once she's out of the way, and doesn't seem to notice anything else.

Amelie moves on to the next hole, as she is way behind most of the others. Hole 4 coming up. Can she repeate her awesome peformance on the last hole? Probably no, but why not try?

Silvana is having fun hittint the ball right behind Zago as it takes her more than one shot to sink the ball. Always the last shot is the worst I tell you.

Daphnne moves on with Amelie after taking a total loss on that hole but she seems to be having fun and at least is looking good while doing it.

Amelie looks around this hole and she makes her initial hit. It only gets so far around it all before it stops. Close enough, Amelie finds where it stops and taps it again, sending it right into the hole!

Ambrosia lets out a soft little cackle and mutters to no-one in particular, "Shut up, you're distracting me. I need to SEE it." and then she does close her eyes. When she hits the ball it goes careening to one side and bounces off of the border-wall before coming back in to ricochet off of another obstacle. That contact actually causes the ball to take the the air before it bounce-bounce-bounces right into the hole.

Ambrosia then struts off of the last hole, beaming like the cat that caught the canary.

Io puts away her putter. After all she finished the course. She comes back in time to see Ambrosia's put, "Nicely done!" she says, clapping for the woman.

Daphnne is laughing, despite her last hole and tries to line up the shot. Luckily it bounces off the wall and goes directly through the eye with no hesitation.

Ambrosia offers Io a wink, "You've got to know what to look for, Cherrypie. Though, to be fair, my clan does have better eyes than most when it comes to these things." She offers to hook her arm around Io's as the pair move away from the final hole.

Gregory doesn't even wait for Daphnne's put to land before sending his own bouncing through the obstacles, watching as his shot sinks

Amelie can see the others finishing so she heads up to the next to last hole. #5. Good ole' five. Let's see how she does... and a hush falls around her - since people are off at the last hole.

"This is some of the best-played mini-golf I've ever seen," Zago says. "Really. Y'all are playing this course to its limits, and even beyond. We've broken ground, tonight." He grins.

Io looks a little surprised to have her arm hooked, but she moves away from the last hole with Ambrosia. "This evening has been a lot of fun. A little surreal to mini golf in a formal gown, but fun all the same." she comments to Ambrosia.

Gregory raises an eyebrow and whistles as he makes his way to the next course, giving Ambrosia a wink

Amelie adjusts her corset a bit, making sure nothing is falling out (this is a family game!!). She takes her first tap to the ball and it barely moves more than a foot. She taps again and off it goes! Finding the ball just about in the hole, she taps it in to complete the hole. "Well, it's done."

Silvana pauses in her following Zago as she looks around and looks over to Ambrosia and tilts her head before she giggles. She shakes her head and then leans to whisper to Zago.

Having completed the course, Ed makes her way over to Ambrosia with a grin on her face. Leaning in a bit closer, she whispers something to the other woman.

Daphnne turns her head towards the first group finishing up with a curious expression but as Amelie moves forward she follows suit but still with a thoughtful expression on her face.

Daphnne remembers trying the game, decades after it was popular, and it doing about as well with the recreation on course as she had the game. She tap, tap, taps the ball before getting it into the hole. But she is laughing softly as she retrieves her ball, obvious enjoying herself.

"I should've worn a gown." Ambrosia replies to Io, "Though yours is ravishing. I always hated my father for not being embraced as a Rose. Fucking psycho, right?" She'll gently tug-tug Io toward Daphnne. "We return victorious. How are you?"

Io lets Ambrosia tug her along, "Thank you." A pause, then quietly she says, "I very nearly was a Malkavian. It is strange how fate works." She gives Daphnne a warm smile, "This has been a wonderful evening!"

Amelie sizes up the last hole. "Well. This is it. Too bad I could not just sing my way through it all!" She sizes up where to tap the ball towards and closes her eyes again before taking the hit. BE THE BALL.

Daphnne watches as Io and Ambrosia step over to her, nodding her head as she laughs softly, "Thus far at least I have not hit our honorable Herald in the head. Let us see how my final shot will go. You two both did wonderfully!"

Io smiles broadly at Daphnne's success on the final hole, "Oh that's wonderful!" she says warmly.

Silvana makes sure to get out of the way as the others move up behind her and she giggles "And here I thought I was being slow.. Remind me next time Mr. Giovanni no puffy dresses. I keep losing the ball" she grins.

"A minor boon if you do, Duckling." Ambrosia offers Daphnne in a diplomatic tone before glancing over her shoulder at the honorable Herald, herself.

Amelie hits the ball, and it moves a bit. She hits it again, and it rolls back. Trying again, it goes toward the next obstacle and rolls back behind the line again. "Something is amiss here." She taps it and gets it going again, and it of course stops short of the next part. She taps it again, and again, and FINALLY it is about to go into the hole? And stops right on the edge. SIXTH shot - it finally goes in. "I think I'm done playing this game anymore. Ever."

"The dress is a keeper, though." Colombe replies to the Herald. She regards everyone warmly, as Pierre brings her the final tally sheet. All complete, except for one last shot for Daphne's companion, Gregory. She grins as she takes in the numbers.

Daphnne just shakes her head at Ambrosia, "Surely you jest." She has one last shot and she actually stares at the spot that will start the twists and turns towards the hole with a purpose. And it was worth it. She makes the shot with her first attempt.

Ambrosia slings an arm around Io's waist as she and the Toreador Primogen watch Daphnne's last shot. "Surely." She offers in reply, right as the Ventrue beauty is in the middle of her back stroke.

Io applauds, "I think everyone did wonderfully." She offers as the final people finish the last hole. "It has been a good night!"

Gregory takes the extra moment, and a few extra shots as the game finishes up. Apparently, his still mortal muscles tiring sfter all this time. "Quite a fun game tonight."

Amelie turns in her golf club and abandons the ball. It is DEAD to her. "Merci beaucoup, Keeper, for a lovely evening. I may not play this game well, but it was certainly entertaining. I fear I must take my leave though for tonight." She offers goodbyes to the others here. "Bon Soir, one and all! See you soon!"

As Gregory gets his final shot in, Colombe claps her hands, and speaks up. "Bravo, to all of you. And goodnight to you Herald, thanks for coming out." She smiles to Amelie, before continuing. "It is my pleasure to be able to announce that the grand winner tonight is a dark horse indeed --- please step up and accept this fabulous mini-golf putter trophy, Primogen Lasalle!" The prestigious award, in all it's glory, seems a cross between an Emmy and a high-school golfing trophy (Trophy).

Amelie claps for Ambrosia as she makes her way out!

Io turns her head to look at Ambrosia, "Great job!" she says lightly and claps for her fellow Primogen, "Congratulations."

Daphnne looks to Amelie with a warm smile, "Thank you so much for attending." She turns to applaud as Colombe gives Ambrosia the trophy, "Congratulations, Primogen."

"And, in addition, the judges did find that the proprietress had the most exquisite style and performance --- so, Keeper de Cunningham, you are awarded this ornate lapel pin --- which actually compliments your current outfit very well." The pin is a lustrous 24ct gold encrusted with diamonds and sapphires (Pin).

Zago grins back to Silvana at that. "It's fine, this is the cycle of mini-golf. Still, people got into this." He looks up and golf-claps for Ambrosia once more.

Ed leans her putter against one of the displays, before bringing her hands together.

Gregory takes Daphnne's arm, obviously part of her accessories

Silvana smiles at him and then claps for the winner.

Ambrosia struts forward, hips swaying in an exaggerated manner, and she accepts the trophy from Colombe with a wide and crooked smile. The trophy is held up like a true treasure. "I finally won a thing. Who knew I was the Praxis' best athlete?"

Daphnne smiles brightly as she spots the pin. Anyone that knows the Elder Ventrue knows that jewels and gems catch her eye, "Oh, how very lovely. Thank you so much."

Colombe grins quietly to the Malkavian. "Certainly a comeback from the time we had that competition at Dusk Til Dawn." Her gaze warms. "I hope you enjoy the trophy, it's a bit ostentatious." To Daphnne, she inclines her head warmly, pleased to see that the Ventrue likes the pin. "Thank-you for allowing us to play here this evening, it was very diverting."

Ed stops clapping and lifts a hand to absently tug on one of her ears, before she starts to head for the exit. "Good night everyone."

Io applauds and offers, "Thank you for a wonderful evening. It was great fun."

Daphnne gives Colombe a warm smile, her arm going through Gregory's again, "You are very welcome. Any time you wish to use any of my businesses or properties you are welcome."

"I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, Keeper. I've wiped that night from my memory." Ambrosia stares longingly at her trophy before she tucks it under one arm. Ed's departure draws her gaze and has her expression turning serious for a moment, then she's looking over toward Daphnne so she can examine the pin. "Congratulations."

"Night Ed. Thanks for coming." Colombe glances to the Sheriff, and offers her a quiet nod. Ambrosia gets a look and a very faint smile. To Io and Daphnne, "Always a good night when people have fun and get to know each other better."

Io nods to Ed as she leaves, "Have a good night, Sheriff." She looks back to Colombe warmly and nods, "It does make for a good night when that happens. Though I think I prefer to mini golf in shorts and a tank." She tugs at the strap of her dress where it goes over her shoulder, "Good for a party, not sports attire."

Daphnne proudly shows her pin to Ambrosia and in the meantime gets a better look at the trophy. She turns and nods to Colombe, "It was a very enjoyable evening, thank you for running the game. You did a wonderful job keeping up with all of us." She smiles over at Ed, "Walk safely, Sheriff, thank you for coming."

Silvana smiles at Zago "Did you have fun?" she nudges him.

"Casual attire does suit the ambience, indeed." Colombe grins to Io. She looks to Daphnne, and gives the other Ventrue a grin. "Delegation is the ultimate timesaver. I should take my leave as well --- just a few things to finish before I retire for the night." She looks to those remaining. "Thanks again for coming, it was wonderful to see everyone dressed up and taking part."
