LAS VEGAS ♔ DON'T THREATEN ME WITH A GOOD TIME

[morethanasidekick]

One of The Drunks - Panic! At The Disco

WHO || Kenzi, Paige, Bo, Groot, Rocket, You? Gatecrashers Others welcome.
WHAT || Vegas Baby!
WHERE || Pandora in Vegas, Nevada.
WHEN || March, 2018
HOW || Action Spam.

[ Kenzi had threatened Paige with a ladies night and of course, if anyone needed a night out it was Bo. The fact that there's also a talking Tree, a drinking Raccoon and... Drax? It's Kenzi. Why is anyone shocked by the people that she spends time with? She has ideas and they spin out of control and you just sort of hang on for the ride. It's her way. She may have casually mentioned they were coming here to a few other people, so if you happen to show up as well? The more the merrier.

The location itself isn't exactly filled with the garish glitz and glamor that a person generally associates with Vegas. Pandora has a British Pub meets modern day speakeasy feel to it. It's known for its signature cocktails with names like Panty Dropper and the Hot Little Mess and you can always count on live entertainment in the form of dancers, magicians, a band and of course, a DJ. It also happens to be one of the few clubs that has an open door policy where Shadowkind are concerned. Whether they'll be rethinking said policy after tonight? We just don't know. ]

[Bo is mostly here because Kenzi REALLY wanted to do this, and if she's going to be in Vegas she's damn sure she's going to try to have a good time.

Which of course means plenty of drinks and plenty of dancing.

Don't be surprised if she ends up on the bar by the end of the night, too. Showing off is kind of her thing when she actually lets herself party.]

[morethanasidekick]

[ /vaguely waves hands around about when exactly this happens but it's some point after she disappears down that hallway with a certain sexy douchebag space man.

While she is trying, super hard to keep the grin from her face? Kenzi also knows that there are just some things you can never lie to Bo about so she's just, not even going to try as she sidles up next to her at the table they've commandeered.

Oh look. A drink. ]

Shut up.

[succubestie]

[Bo just has the biggest smirk on her face of all time as she oh so casually takes a sip out of her glass.]

I didn't say a word...

[morethanasidekick]

[ You don't need to. She is so aware that she's lit up like the North Star guiding Peter Quill to Sextopia. ]

Good. Gooooood. [ Hello drink, come to Kenzi's mouth. ] So... ya know... on a scale of 1 to 10. Exactly how horrible would I be if instead of getting everyone back I were to.... gogetahotelroomwithquill.

[succubestie]

[With a nat 20 will save, Bo handles this with the smoothest of grace.]

How about I just give it an 11 on the you-absolutely-need-to-do-that scale?

[She leans in and gives her bestie a kiss on the temple as she sips her drink before pulling back.]

We'll be fine. I'll just grab a little chi from someone to sober up and make sure everyone gets home just fine.

[morethanasidekick]

[ She double takes at that, almost like she was expecting Bo to caution her in some way... or maybe it was that she was hoping she might??? ]

Really? So... [ The ice in this drink sure is fascinating. Look at it. Clinking against the edge of the glass. Like ice does. ]

You don't think I'm being... rash? [ Peering at her from out of the corner of her eye. ]

[succubestie]

I think that you owe it to yourself to see what happens.

[She grins a little wider.]

And let off some steam, of course. I mean, would I say no to an offer like that?

[morethanasidekick]

Trust me. Steam is... so not an issue where we're concerned.

[ I was gonna make a joke about how it's more the generating than the blowing off but then I remembered what happened in that hallway. YW. ]

I'm not sure you're the best measure of what to say yes to when it comes to sex, Succubus.

[succubestie]

I'm the best measure of what to say yes to; whatever you're feeling in the moment.

[Wink]

[impetere]

[Cora is not much of a dancer. With a negative 2 charisma and not a lot of normal teenage experiences, her dancing mostly consists of a lot of bouncing that isn't always on a beat but she's reached a point in the evening where she's relaxed enough to try, so that's something.

It does mean that eventually she bounces into Bo though, and manages to stumble back before she actually spills anything (reflex save 12), but there is a very dangerous slosh.]

Oh! Sorry!

[succubestie]

[Bo turns toward her without a care in the world, as if she barely even noticed, waving off her concern quickly.]

Hush. No apologizing on the dance floor.

[PS, this girl has had a few and she's just going to...casually slip her arms around Cora's neck and start to dance with her (perform: dance 28)]

[impetere]

[So first of all, Bo is way better at this than Cora is usually, but maybe Cora's good at following a lead or maybe it's just that Bo is magical and makes dancing a lot easier because suddenly Cora finds herself following along a lot better. Like way better (perform: dance nat 20).]

Okay. Got it. No apologizing.

[succubestie]

[Oh Bo is simultaneously impressed and loving it. They're probably attracting quite a bit of attention between the two of them.]

There. Much better.

[impetere]

[Yep, which Cora will become aware of soon enough and there's a small, self-conscious look that crosses her face. She is definitely not used to being watched for those reasons.]

I don't normally do this.

[succubestie]

I can't remember the last time I got to. [She tosses her hair a bit, grinning at the girl.] You're a natural, by the way.

[impetere]

Thanks?

[It sounds like a compliment but she isn't sure it should be one directed to her.]

Have you been staying in a lot?

[succubestie]

[It's absolutely a compliment.]

I guess it's one of those things that just happens to new moms. Not really a good environment for a kiddo.

[mercenairy]

[ He'd stepped back into the kitchen for literally two minutes to check up on his staff and when he comes back out...

There's a drunk girl shaking her booty on his bar.

....At least it's not the Tree, he supposes.

Still, he sighs, and wanders over to where she's really getting into it. ]

Excuse me. Could you step down from there, please? We have a dance floor for a reason.

[ He's being as polite as he possibly can here, but his bar is sacred, yo. (Diplomacy 43) ]

[succubestie]

[She grins down at him from on top of the bar, and while she thinks he's being a pretty big spoil-sport, maybe she can get something else out of this instead.

She jumps down from the bartop with easy grace, even in her heels, but she lands on the ground on...his side of the bar.]

Ooops.

[mercenairy]

[ Ahhh, she's one of these. Dante recognizes his own type from a million miles away, but he just gives her a dimpled grin with plenty of boyish charm. Even if there's a hint of steel will still flickering in the depths of his gaze as he crosses his arms over his chest and gazes down at her. ]

Somehow I get the feeling you're not all that sorry.

[succubestie]

[Well, that was a pretty good sense motive on her part, so she just sighs, crossing her arms over her chest.]

I'm being obnoxious and you're gonna be a buzzkill, aren't you.

[It's not really a question.]

Alright, alright. [With an impressive 21 dex check, she lithely slides across the bar back to the other side before turning back around and leaning her head on it.]

Give a girl a break, okay? This is my first night out since I had my baby.

[mercenairy]

[ When she relents and goes back to where she's meant to be without so much as a fuss, one eyebrow arches up and he looks actually impressed for a moment before some of that steel fades back to invisible and he gives her a more genuine grin.

Tapping a finger on the aged bar that gleams as the centerpiece of this place he inclines his head. ]

Respect the bar and you can have as much fun as you like. Promise, no more buzzkill. In fact, that sounds like a good cause for a celebration in my book. Or, at the very least, a distraction. What's your poison, Mama?

[succubestie]

[She smoothes a hand over the bartop, leaning in to whisper...to it.]

You have my most sincere apologies.

[Then she stands straight again, slipping into a stool.]

Mama would like some tequila, please.

[mercenairy]

[ Dante just grins at her antics, giving his bar a fond pat. ]

He's a forgiving sort, I'm sure you'll be back in his good graces soon enough.

Now, for the rest of it, hmm... [ He turns to survey the bottles behind him before grinning and sliding two taller ones aside to pull out a smaller aged model, the glass a deep brown. ]

Since it's a celebration, I think this calls for the good stuff, don't you? [ He starts pouring her a drink. ] Consider this one on the house, as congratulations from the buzzkill bartender.

[succubestie]

[She grins widely, leaning on her elbow.]

Becoming less of a buzzkill with each passing moment and earning himself a damn good tip. As an ex-bartender, I'm sufficiently impressed.
