WHO || Andie, Faith, Jordan, Fiona, Faye, Bo, anyone else! [Closed]
WHAT || Andie's birthday bash! ... with a twist
WHERE || The Silver Band dance club
WHEN || April 1st, after 11pm [backdated]
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread, don't worry about maintaining tagging order.

Being friends with someone as spontaneous as Faith can have its perks. She's invited the entire under-30 crowd at the castle to come celebrate her friend Andie's 21st birthday at an exclusive dance club called the Silver Band in downtown London.

The club is swirling with colors, as disco balls reflect silvery light that catches on the large quantities of glitter that cover just about every surface. The main dance floors are made of transparent glass, and the club is multi-storied, so that you can choose to dance higher up and see everyone below under your feet. Below the ground floor is a strange black canopy that seems to reflect odd flickering lights, almost like stars. There's a sort of classic opulence to the decor, and hallways branch off here and there to private rooms out of sight. Floating lights bob around the ceiling, that look almost like crystalline balls, except they're light as bubbles and can pop when touched.

Strangely, there are cobwebs in various areas of the club, mostly out of reach, as if it hasn't had occasion to be cleaned in awhile, but there's no traces of grime or dirt anywhere. Faith has a private room procured off one of the halls for the mini-buffet, because how can it be Andie's birthday without food??

Comments

faith ♔ (ota.)

[moonheart]

[ faith is soooo ready to party. she's one of the first to arrive, probably alongside fiona and dragging jordan with them, so she'll be there to greet everyone and wave them to the room where food's at. but she's not content to let people just chill and sit, whatsoever. so she'll be buying people drinks, yanking people out to dance, and starting up a rousing round of "Happy Birthday" for Andie. ]

[wishuponadjinn]

[yep, jordan sure is here. and he sure does look uncomfortable, standing next to the food table, holding a plate of finger foods but not really eating anything. Instead he is looking around in quick glances, eyes darting to the door repeatedly.

he sure is the best person to have along at a party where you should be having fun.]

[ex_psionic439]

[Adam figures the after-after party is the place to be if he wants to meet anyone who's worth knowing. I guess he took the time to put himself together after dipping out on the squiring ceremony, because he's looking hella fly when he shows up bathed in all the refracted light at Club Seizure (Disguise: nat 20).

Obviously he doesn't really know anyone, but he recognizes Faith as the chick who shoved a flyer in his face back at the castle. That gives him a place to start. If nothing else, he figures he should probably thank her for the invite.]

So are you the birthday girl?

[genieprince]

[sometime after the group arrived at the club, faith would be approached by this classy guy, carrying a drink in each hand.]

So, you made it after all. I hope the place doesn't disappoint? [He hands her a drink, the cup full of a dark red liquid.]

Faye | ota

[reallywicked]

[Two parties in quick succession? Faye is a-okay with having picked a birthday so close to Andie's. She's only just recovered from her own by the time this one rolls around.

She's made her way up to one of the upper levels to get her dance on, but steps down wrong and loses her footing, causing her to start to fall (dance 9). Someone should save her... or prepare to be collided into.]

[missindependent]

[ i vote for... COLLISION! although fiona manages to catch herself, at least (reflex 17), before spinning around to find the culprit, confusion lining her features. when she sees it's a semi-familiar face, she breaks into a wide grin, laughing a bit as she offers her a hand up. ] A little pre-game drinking, huh?

[asap]

[Andie's reflex of 14 isn't exactly helping anything. She catches Faye, but instead of spinning her like she planned, she just sort of... tugs Faye against her. Not that she's entirely complaining. She grins at Faye.]

Hi!

[moonheart]

[ at one point, faye will swear that she sees andie flagging her down from a little ways across the club, before the girl disappears with a giggle down one of the side hallways.

>:) ]

[bittersweeter]

[ lila's just gonna let her fall, tbh, stepping neatly out of the way. (ref save 19, which she could have used to stop faye, but... nope.) ]

Hey whore.

Andie - ota

[asap]

[Andie's never exactly still, but today she's practically vibrating with excitement. Sure, it doesn't matter much that she's turning 21 when she's in England where the drinking age is 18, but for a girl originally from California, it still feels pretty cool.

She spends most of her time zooming between the dance floor and the food room, with breaks in each to socialize, consume food, or dance. She's beaming pretty hard. Surprise parties are awesome!]

[missindependent]

[ surprise parties are awesome, and fiona actually remembers who the birthday girl is tonight! ] Hey! Happy birthday!

[moonheart]

[ faith swings out to the dance floor and twirls andie around with a grin ] You better be having fun.

[fixyourproblem]

[Brantley came for two reasons, the first one is to congratulates his first mission mate's birthday, and the second is to eat all the foods, drink all the drinks and dance all the moves, of course. And it is common courtesy to do the former first before he does the latter, right?]

Miss Andie, Happy Birthday!

[succubestie]

[Bo swings by during the beginning of the festivities, remembering her from the bar that one time. She bumps her shoulder against her, handing her a shot while holding a second in her hand.]

Happy birthday, pretty lady.

Jordan ♔ (ota.)

[wishuponadjinn]

[Jordan is here looking quite dashing in his suit, but also strangely tense and jumpy. The night would mostly find him hovering close to Fiona, though trying not to be overly obvious about it.

He is not doing such a good job of it.]

[missindependent]

[ fiona doesn't notice his lurking, or she just doesn't mind. either way, she's happy to be hanging out with her new friend at this awesome club. ] What are you drinking? I need a refill.

Rose - OTA

[littledhampir]

[So very much in need of a night out on the town, Rose was surprisingly easy to convince to come. She had been the one to suggest that she and Bo skip the next squiring party and go clubbing instead and technically this party fit that bill without Rose running the risk of getting into too much trouble... In theory.

The brunette is determined to have a good night, despite the stake she has hidden in her boot, so share a round of shots with her or drag her onto the dance floor. Just don't go looking to pick any fights cause she really doesn't want to cause a scene at Andie's party but she is still... Rose.]

[moonheart]

[ faith shimmies up to the bar beside her excitedly ] What time is it? Shots o'clock? That's what I thought.

[allmydreams]

[Felicity changed quickly after the after party to something a little more club worthy, and is going with the dishelved club girl look for the evening (disguise 13). She pretty much shook her hair out of her updo for the evening, left her make up as it was, and ordering herself a shot or several while eyeing the dance floor.

She'll get out there to dance eventually. Right now she's just trying to get the feel of the room.]

[moonheart]

Lookin' superhot, lady. What are you drinking?

Mars OTA

[charismapotion]

[ He had changed quickly, he may not even know the woman but why not? It sounded fun. He showed up looking around (Dis 14). Maybe it hadn't been the best idea after all. He really didn't know anyone but he was here so he had to suck it up and roam around see if he could meet anyone to find where the drinks are.]

[moonheart]

Looking for somebody? [ faith sidles up beside him, noticing that roaming expression on his face. ]

Bo ; OTA

[succubestie]

[Guess who's dancing on the bar because this is the best party she's been to in ages?

This girl.

Chances are she's reaching her hand out to anyone that passes by to drag them up there with her, so you should probably take it. :3]

[moonheart]

[ oh! oh! this girl!! faith reaches up a hand to clamber onto the bar and bust a move, which is probably a gr8 idea in her miniskirt lbr. but with a dance check of 16, she is ready to shake it. ] Hell yeah!

Brantley | OTA

[fixyourproblem]

[It's been a while since he's been to a party like this. So, with a spirit of a lion and the confidence of a tiger, he moves around with open wings. Wearing black aviator style jacket, blue skinny jeans and leather boots, Brantley is ready to bust some groovy moves (diguise 23). But first this man needs some juice. He visits the bar to guzzle down some drink.]

[moonheart]

[ faith finds him shortly after he arrives and slaps him on the shoulder as she comes around his other side and takes a seat. ] You made it!

Drugged!Rose - OTA

[littledhampir]

[Things you don't see every day? Or... Ever? Rose with a huge grin on her face as she dances like nobodies looking in the middle of the dance floor.

Hello there random person, yes, she means you, come dance with Rose! It's totally cool if she grinds against you right? This is how Rose dances all the time, really...

You don't mind if she just cups your face like you're the most awesome thing ever, right?! Of course you don't. Just like you don't mind when she decides kissing you is the best idea in the whole wide world!]

[moonheart]

[ ♬ i kissed a girl katy perry

because if any thread is gonna get this song it's probably this one, lbr

at some point in their conversation i'm sure faith, if not rose, would want to go dance, because faith sure can't stay off her feet for very long. and she laughs with delight as they bump and grind and twirl on the dance floor, where she certainly has the moves (dance 19).

and you know what? if rose wants to kiss her, she doesn't seem particularly surprised, or bothered. in fact, she'll loop an arm around her neck and pull her in closer as she returns the kiss with an enthusiastic one of her own. with a dex 20, gurl seems to know what she's doin' too. ]

gus & helen | open! either or both!

[druidisms]

[ tucked into a booth are two people not under thirty. but fuck the police (he has), they came anyway. having done away with his suit jacket and tie, gus still looks hella hot and helen looks, as always, like a vision of a sassy sexpot. armed with drinks for both of them and a joint for gus (fuck the police again, he will) the two of them are chillin' like actual villains. ]

[moonheart]

[ oh my god gus, HER DAD IS THE POLICE WATCH WHAT YOU ARE IMPLYING. anyways, faith finds you guys in the corner and rushes up to the table, which she almost slams into, catching herself and leaning over it towards them with a giggling laugh. she's probably covered in lipstick stains too who the fuck knows. hi. ] You came!! [ she didn't even invite y'all but she's excited now that you're here. ]

[missindependent]

[ fio-na-naaa is here, looking fly as hell (disguise 25) and OMG HOW DID NO ONE ELSE NOTICE THIS AWESOME STAGE OVER HERE BY THE DANCE FLOOR?? well, that's all about to change as fiona climbs her ass up on the platform, picking up the microphone and standing center stage, like this is just where she belongs

♬ bad influence - pink

and suddenly! from seemingly nowhere, music sparks up all around her, the dj's mix cutting out sharply, and as she raises the mic to her mouth, glitter explodes from the ceiling, covering the crowd. they cheer and holler, and somehow the words that pour out of her are perfectly in sync with the tune in the background, because she's kelly fucking clarkson even if this isn't a kelly clarkson song shhh (perform: sing 28) and this sure is a magical place~ ]

[moonheart]

[ OMG GLITTERSPLOSION. faith throws her hands up wherever she's at in the crowd and yells: ] WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! [ at the top of her lungs, pushing through to get her dance on as she wildly shakes glitter out of her hair (dance 25) ]

Sebastian ( OTA)

[opprobrium]

[ ♬ Tik Tok - Ke$ha

And Thus Sebastian finally arrived. His jacket flowing around him as he made his way inside. Hands in his pockets. Sure he was late, but it was totally on purposely. fashionably late was always cool.]

Now where's the bar.

[ He muttered aloud as he made his way across the room. Of course he saw it soon enough. Unlike Fayes party he did not even know the birthday girl so he didn't bring a gift. ]

[princesswishes]

[As he walks closer to the bar he would notice this hottie leaning against the railing lining the bar, one arm behind her and the other cradling a drink. When she spots him she smiles, taking a sip of her drink and keeping eye-contact with him the closer he gets.]

[thejareth]

[♬ Paralyzer- Finger Eleven

suddenly every light in the entire club flickers off dramatically, all sound cuts out from the speakers and an expectant hush silences the crowd of club-goers. A gust of warm wind blows through the front doors of The Silver Band, oddly accompanied by a torrent of glitter and smoke.

when the smoke clears, glitter still falling in lazy ripples, standing in the entrance to the club is this guy, looking around at everyone with a pleased smirk on his face. he takes a few lazy steps inwards, looking up at those on the top levels of the club as well. something seems to catch his attention as he looks towards the hallways leading to the private rooms, the tiniest of grins crossing his lips. he closes his eyes for a few brief moments, opening them lazily and finally looking back to those directly in front of him.]

Well well well... What a turn out this evening. Are we all having a good time?[each word is a lazy drawl, but the effect they have on everyone in the club is galvanizing. both women and men closest to him seem to literally fawn over him, nodding at his question and shouting out things like 'yes, oh yes' 'of course' and 'such a good time!'

every attendee in the club must make a will-save of (DC 28) or higher to not be affected in the same way.]

[morethanasidekick]

[You all thought I was kidding about that Automatic-Crit Fail huh. IDEC that she Nat-20d her Will Save. The power of Spandex and Glitter over Kenzi is far greater than the power of the dice. It's canon.

The leather clad female who looks like she's already been inducted into the Jareth groupie hall of fame wastes no time in rushing forward, a hand reaching out as if she might touch one of his oh so magnificent boots.]

Can I? Can I please?

[Yeah lets be real. Even if the Will Save took, she'd be doing this anyway.]
