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??

[ 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.]

[moonheart]

[ don't think she doesn't notice that look, boy. ] Are you expecting somebody? [ she shoves a marshmallow in her mouth. b/c they have those. ]

[wishuponadjinn]

[he...sure jumps, that's how distracted Jordan is. dragging his eyes away from the door and over to faith takes a moment, but finally he settles on her features, taking a deep breath.]

More like dreading someone... Faith, how did you hear about this place, exactly?

[missindependent]

[ fiona's just crashing all their threads, apparently ] You have some stalker ex-girlfriend, or something?

[wishuponadjinn]

[His head whips around at Fiona's voice on his other side, relief rushing through him for a brief moment that he hadn't lost her in the club. Yet.]

NO! Er, no nothing like that. I mean, not the ex-girlfriend thing. I-I mean, the stalker thing isn't really true either, I guess...

[moonheart]

Well, I know you're not looking at the door because you wanna leave. We just got here!

[wishuponadjinn]

N-no, of course not, but it's just that... [his eyes flick once more to Fiona, and then from her to the door and back again.] It's just that I don't really have a good feeling about this club.

[bluff 23. he's trying so hard.]

[moonheart]

Why not? The guy who told me about it seemed pretty on the level. He's how I got us in here in the first place.

[missindependent]

And I happen to have an exceptionally awesome feeling about this club.

[wishuponadjinn]

[his eyes narrow, giving her a worried look.]

Who was the guy?

[moonheart]

I think his name was... Vance?

[wishuponadjinn]

[and jordan's head explodes. the end of jordan.

no, but really, his face goes completely pale when she says that name. And a panic ensues.]

V-Vance? Oh, that is...that is not good. That is bad, we need to get out of here like, right now!

[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?

[moonheart]

'Fraid not. I'm a Gemini. [ she peers at him over her drink with a mischievous smirk ] The birthday girl's named Andie. If you blink, you might miss her though.

[ex_psionic439]

[Figures. That would have been too easy. But he has no idea what she's referring to, so he just assumes Andie is getting ready to bounce.]

What, is she too cool for her own party or something?

[moonheart]

Noooo but she's descended from the goddess of air and I guess you could say she's really light on her feet.

[ex_psionic439]

[He will just stand there like, 'sweet...' Because it beat the, 'o-oh...' he was feeling atm.]

I'd feel pretty lame if I didn't at least buy her a drink.

[The invite didn't exactly say present required, but he didn't even know the girl and he was all up in her celebration.]

[moonheart]

Just look for the flash of really bright red hair.

I'm Faith, by the way! You?

[ex_psionic439]

I'm guessing that means you missed my marching down the stairs like a metal toolbox earlier. [A fact that seems to put him a little more at ease again because really. All dat pomp and circumstance was a little overkill.]

Adam. Thanks for the invite. [Even if she was passing that shit out to literally everyone.]

[moonheart]

Ohhh, you were that guy. [ her smile is teasing, so it's hard to say if she... was there or not, really. ] And the more, the merrier.

So what's your story, Adam?

[ex_psionic439]

I think all three of us were that guy tonight. [He ain't even mad tho. He knows they all looked twelve shades of ridiculous ok.]

As far as my story, nothing I'm sure you haven't heard twenty times over already. Especially with goddesses running around. Literally. What about you?

[moonheart]

I transferred here from the Ireland branch last year when my family moved to London. My dad took a job as the Chief of Police here, so it seemed like time. I've never really lived outside of Ireland before.

[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.]

[moonheart]

Oh, hey! [ her face lights up when she sees him and she gratefully accepts the cup, not thinking twice about it. ] How could it? Everybody's having the best time ever.
