Politics. Whether it was planetary or intergalactic, it was never a pleasant subject to tackle without a few knives to jab with. What made politics ten times worse than it was on its own was corporations. Not everyone saw them as a pure benefit to people, let alone to the planet in general. All the money bags had the upper hand and ruled the political world with an iron fist, never mattered if they had good intentions or not; it was either they had the money or the connections to make themselves known and respected. Even then, to be "respected" could be equated to fear.
Yet Isla's stance on politics and corporations in general didn't matter. Right in the heart of East City was the headquarters of the Capsule Corporation, a celebration was thrown in honor of its annual anniversary. The demon was assigned a major task to protect one of the corp's key executive figures, Shrin. Apparently not a lot of people were on board with his analytic decision within the company. The actual decision itself was left unclear for the demon, but what she did know was that she had someone to protect at all costs and, if possible, weed out the potential killer or hired assassin.
As expected, Isla's outfit was professional; a black blazer with a short sleeve blouse under it, followed by a simple black work skirt just above her knees, black leggings, and black heels that added about two inches to her height. The entire top floor was flooded with people, some were affiliated with the company, many that worked in the corporation itself, and the rest was invited by those that had some form of connections of the employees, or the 'plus ones'.
The demon lounged around the bar area to have a better overall look of the scenery. So far, everything looked normal; nothing out of the ordinary. No one stood out, and there weren't any suspicious signs to lull over. She could only hope things won't go south in what was so far a very peaceful party

Espere enjoyed parties, from the drinks to socializing with others, from experiencing a great time to the variety of delicious food offered, there was nothing that Espere disliked about parties; especially when they were not only corporation celebrations, but also ones where she snuck into without an invite. She wasn't, on the contrary, here to leech off the goodies that this social event had, instead assigned a special mission from an "anonymous" contractor. The "anonymous" contractor just so happened to be an ex-employee who loathed Shrin behind the scenes. A man painted to be ambitious and cared for his citizens was nothing more than a snake that throws people off the ladder as a means to climb the ranks. Typical from a corporate, and unsurprising that someone wanted him gone.
In her simple black dress with a slit that exposed almost her whole left leg, Espere lingered around the bar. One leg over the other, she sat on a stool facing the vibrant crowd, a glass of whiskey idly sitting in her right hand. She surveyed each face, looking for her million-dollar target. To her dismay, he had yet to make his appearance. A small pout on her lips, she lifted the glass to her face and took a small sip of her drink.
Everyone, no matter how distinct they looked, how glamorous they were, looked the same. No one stood out, but most of them shared one common theme: the sense of entitlement and viewing those that aren't on their level of status as beneath them. That was until she spotted a figure approach the bar in a more professional attire. Nearly everyone was in professional attire mixed in with some fanciness, but this one in particular looked as if she was on the job. It'd be easy to write her off as a security guard making sure everything went smoothly, but no. She looked special. Espere couldn't help but eye the woman from head to toe, trying to figure out what exactly was she.
Even when the guard made her spot to the bar, Espere would only continue to stare, shameless if she got caught. A small spread across her face as she glared at the woman. If she was caught staring, she wouldn't say a word, but instead provide a gesture of invitation. She'd nod her head over to the available stool to her left, maintaining her "cordial" grin. The android wished that the stranger would accept her offer. If she were honest, she could use this as an opportunity to see what's underneath that stoic front.

The demon's eyes wandered around the room, her head turning slowly to take in the scenery. Nothing had yet to come out of the ordinary. That was until she took notice of someone staring at her, if not staring enough to see through her. Isla turned her head and noticed a relatively young woman looking at her, almost as if she were studying her instead. Isla could only stare back with a cocked eyebrow from curiosity as to why she stared at the demon. A friendly smile was offered, followed by gesturing her head towards the available seat next to her.
Even though there weren't any words exchanged and only the glances they gave each other, the demon was mildly interested. She might've been on the clock, but it wouldn't hurt for her to take a small break and see what this woman wanted. What she wore was simple, yet it managed to pique the demon's curiosity. Isla returned the friendly smile with one of her own and approached the other woman, taking the empty seat. She noticed the bartender approach her to take her order, but Isla held up a hand and waved it. "No drink for me. I'm on the job right now." She said.
Isla then turned her attention back to the woman before she spoke to her for the first time. "All by your lonesome? You must either not really like the party as much with all the snob money bags running around or someone must've stuck you up and you're drinking your sorrows away." The demon teased. Of course, the demon was only speculating and that the woman simply just wanted some alone time to herself. Understandably so, since such a party is all about showing off connections and being able to hold your own ground in a space where elitists and the rich dominate conversations. In addition, not everyone has the will power or even the patience to tolerate the entitlement, and Isla could only imagine it must be the latter.
