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??

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!

[fixyourproblem]

Of course! Wouldn't miss a great bash like this! [He replies with a spirited smile.]

[moonheart]

Just make sure you say hi to the birthday girl.

[fixyourproblem]

Of course! [He nods.] It's her party after all. I even brought something for her. I'm just going to enjoy a quick shot first. Need some energy boost to catch up with her. She's pretty light on her feet.

[moonheart]

It's usually easier to make her come to you.

[fixyourproblem]

Indeed, but it wouldn't be a fair game. This face makes it very easy to make people come to me. [He grins confidently with a face full of vanity.]

[moonheart]

She's got a pretty great face too, you know.

[fixyourproblem]

Well, I really can't deny that. Why don't we settle for the fact that the three of us has a great face?

[moonheart]

Seems like a fair compromise t'me.

[fixyourproblem]

[He snorts a chuckle at that.] Oh yeah, have I told you that this party is awesome? You really have to invite me again the next time you throw something like this.

[moonheart]

Can do. Rose told me I have to plan her next birthday!

[moonheart]

[ sometime during the evening while he's hitting the dance floor, brantley would swear that he sees none other than his own brother across the room, glancing around before disappearing down one of the side hallways. hmmmmmmmmmm. ]

[fixyourproblem]

[What! No way! What is his brother doing in a place like this? Is he on a job? No, something is weird. Must investigate.] Brother! [Brantley shouts as he blitzes through the party crowd, ramming and pushing aside anyone who is unfortunate enough to stand between the dance floor and the hallway. There's something that feels really weird though. Is this a trap? Whelp, don't know, don't care. The most important thing right now is to go the hallway where his brother disappeared into and find out what's going on.]

[moonheart]

[ and brantley would walk into this room right behind bo... so feel free to hop over into that thread! ]

[ex_noble101]

[Aedan looks a lot less casual because tbh he hasn't really been to an event like this outside of Faye's party in the city just recently. The only thing he really has to go on are the more formal parties Wynn throws following a squiring ceremony. Still, overdressed or not he still looks just as good (disguise 23).

He's never actually met Brantley, but after a year it's likely Aedan recognizes him as a semi-familiar face. Which is why he seems comfortable inviting himself over to the open spot bar beside him and flashing him a friendly smile.]

Recommend anything? [He's still new enough to this world to warrant trying new things.]

[fixyourproblem]

[Oh look a hottie. Let's flirt. Brantley doesn't know him, but he thinks he recognizes him somehow. Definitely a fellow Knight. He turns his head toward the guy and returns the friendly smile with another friendly smile and a hint of flirtatious intention(charm 25).] That depends on what kinds of drinks you like, but if you like something with a twist, try the Highlander.

[ex_noble101]

[With a twist of what, exactly? But he's feeling adventurous, otherwise he would have played it safe and stuck with something more familiar. He motions for the bartender to prepare two of those. Aedan's worthless will save means that Brantley's getting a free drink for his effort.]

You'll have a drink with me, won't you?

[fixyourproblem]

[There's really no reason to say no, isn't there? And Brantley won't ever say no to a hot guy with a free drink, unless there is a hotter guy with free drinks.] Yeah! Of course. [He smiles softly as he accepts the offer.] I'm Brantley. [He offers his hand for a handshake]

[ex_noble101]

Aedan. [Said as he reaches over to shake the offered hand.]

Are you a friend of Andrea? [Aedan had never met the girl, himself. He just knows it's her party thanks to the name on the flyer he'd been given.]

[fixyourproblem]

Well, I went on a job with her once. Didn't have much chance to talk with her, back then. So, I guess we're not close enough to be considered friends, but at least, we're on good terms.

[ex_noble101]

You'll have to point her out to me if you get the chance. [Aedan figures that offering up a 'Happy Birthday' is the least he could do since he's enjoying her party.

And then the two drinks he ordered are placed in front of him--one of which he proceeds to slide toward Brantley. Now that he actually sees the presentation, Aedan's starting to wonder if he shouldn't have stuck with something simple...]

[fixyourproblem]

Sure, no problem. [He smiles, agreing to help. And when the drink is presented to him, he gladly takes it and thanks Aedan with another smile.] Cheers? [He raises his glass.]

[ex_noble101]

[Sugary alcoholic mess or no, he wasn't going to deny the other man that drink. He lifts his glass when Brantley does, and even offers up a toast--]

To new friendships. [It may have been a little presumptuous at this point, but they were comrades in arms and fuck if Aedan didn't need all the bros he could get.]

[fixyourproblem]

[The drink might look like something a sweet-tooth would order, but it is quite.. well, okay it's sweet. Definitely not the type that would get you drunk in a single gulp. Better luck, next time.]

To new friendships. [Brantley doesn't mind at all, he prefers people being presumptuous and bold rather than being distance. Besides, one can never have enough bros. He chuckles a bit at that before he completes the toast and takes a sip.]
