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??

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. ]

[charismapotion]

To be perfectly honest, I don't know anyone. [ He responded with a light smile looking down at her.] I just saw the invite and came.

[moonheart]

But you're a new Knight! I watched you get Knighted. And obviously an awesome one, if you see the call to party and answer.

[charismapotion]

[ he couldn't help a cheesy grin at that.] Thanks, I do try. Besides who can pass up a good party? [ he held a hand out to her then.] I'm Mars, by the way. Even if it was announced at the ceremony.

[moonheart]

And I'm Faith! [ she slaps a hand in his ] So now you know somebody.

[charismapotion]

The pleasures all mine. [ Being the ham he is he didn't shake but liftd her hand kissing the back of it.] Thank you, one known face in a crowd sure beats none. So, may I ask who the guest of honor is?

[moonheart]

My friend, Andie. She's the redhead bopping around around 200mph.

[charismapotion]

A girl named Andie, Red hair. I will keep my eyes open then! It is bad to show up to a lady's party with no gift but just bad form not to at least wish her a happy birthday.

[moonheart]

You could give her a birthday dance!

[charismapotion]

That's always a good plan!

[ He chuckled some at that.] How about a warm up dance with you? Just to make sure its a good idea?

[moonheart]

Hard to argue with that! C'mon! [ and she'll yank him out onto the floor with no further preamble, hey~ and with a 22 dance check, gurl is busting out the moves ]

[charismapotion]

[ He didn't do more then chuckle as he followed her, 18 Dance Check, he was just following her moves clearly she was awesome.]

[ex_psionic439]

[A little later in the evening, Adam approaches the only other attendee he recognizes as one of his fellow initiates. He's never actually met the guy, but a round of shots always made for a good icebreaker.

And suddenly there's another dude handing Mars a shot of tequila. Whether he recognizes Adam at first doesn't matter, because a second later--]

To celebrate the fact that we don't actually have to wear that armor again after tonight.

[charismapotion]

Hey! [ He grinned when the shot was handed over. He at least did recognize him, the guy that asked for the repeat!]

I'll drink to that, I never want to have to do that again. [ He chuckled some, tossing it back.] So, do you know anyone here?

[ex_psionic439]

[Adam follows suit. The whole point was to share a shot as fellow newbies, right?]

No one that I've met before tonight. [Which was basically a no, even if he and Faith were getting kind of bump and grind-y out there earlier.]

What about you?

[charismapotion]

[ Mars grinned a little after the shots were downed by the both, Venus officially sitting on his shoes eyeing the other newbie.]

Same here, I've only met you, and a woman named Faith a few minutes ago, and a guy whose names slipped from me at the squire party. Other then that, nope. [ He shrugged a bit.]

I'm keeping hope for the night to be fun though.

[ex_psionic439]

It is what we make it, right?

[He hadn't even noticed the cat at first, but when she settles on Mars' shoes and looks up at him, Adam can't resist crouching down and attempting to scratch dat sweet little puss behind the ears. Hopefully this bitch was friendly.]

Friend of yours?

[charismapotion]

True enough, then it will most definitely going to be a wonderful night.

[ he replied,a s he watched the other kneel and interact with Venus, who was in a little party hat. The black cat purred but oddly kept her orange eyes open watching him. ]

Yes, this is Venus. She is my familiar. If she starts hissing I would advise you move back. She is in a pretty good mood tonight but she doesn't like big crowds.

[ex_psionic439]

[Dat mini party hat was the best part. But Adam wasn't trying to get his eyes clawed out, so he wasn't going to press his luck or anything. When Mars 'introduces' her as his familiar though, he just sort of ... stops what he's doing to look back up at him.]

Mars and Venus? [Really?] Cute.

[charismapotion]

[ he shrugged a bit at it.] I didn't name her. She was a gift and the name was someone's joke. [ He smiled all the same though. It seemed Venus was done with the attention, stepping off Mars shoes she padded her way towards the snack table. Time to be cute and get snacks.]

[ex_psionic439]

[Well it was kind of pointless to be crouching there like a tool when there was no pussy to be pet. Adam stands up again once Venus takes her leave of them. Bye, gurl~]

Ready for round two? [He tips the empty shot glass he's still holding a few times as if to indicate what he meant. They were not nearly crunk enough for this party yet.]

[charismapotion]

[ She'd be back later, she always finds Mars sooner or later.]

Round two sounds pretty damn good actually. Care to lead the way?

[ex_psionic439]

[With pleasure. And since Adam started early, he only needs to indicate the number two to the bartender once they've made it to the actual bar. From that point, it's only a matter of seconds before two new shot glasses are set out in front of them to replace the old ones, and their second round of tequila is poured sloppily along with a couple of lime wedges and some salt in exchange for cash monies.]

Here's hoping we regret this in the morning. [It wouldn't be fun otherwise.]

[charismapotion]

[ He chuckled a bit as he lifted the shot, not going to drink it just yet but he shook his head some amused.]

As long as I don't wake up with another tattoo I'll be happy.

[ He spoke waiting for the other to drink his first since he was always worried about being rude, a few more drinks in him and he would lighten up real quick.]
