[open] 1, 2, sunshine

WHO: Goro Majima, Club Sunshine Staff, and cutie customers
WHERE: Club Sunshine
WHEN: late September / early October whatever suits your fancy
WHAT: an open club shenanigans post feel free to use it to mingle with your fav club sunshine staff members, too!
WARNINGS: None!

i. be our guest

[ maybe you have a favorite host or always ask for or maybe you're just here to sit at the bar and eat light appetizers, no one is judging either way. majima himself is always busy, walking between tables to bring whatever things the hosts need (ran out of ice? need another glass?) and making sure everyone is satisfied. if not, he's got that super fun job of settling disputes but for a guy who seems more likely to punch someone in the face than talk, he's always very patient even with the most belligerent of guests.

repeat guests and particularly good hosts might even get a gift from majima at the end of the night - a nice bottle of champagne, some money, or maybe some chocolate. something to commemorate the evening or someone's hard work.

those of you who know majima will note he's like 500 times more polite while he's on the job - but if you really want to talk to him straight he'll take you back to the office and chat you up accent and swearing and all. he's got to look presentable for customers, you know? ]

ii. don't let those skills get rusty! [club sunshine staff only!]
a. i'm just a customer

Okay, don't worry! Don't think of me as your boss, jus' think of me as some rando off the street.

[ majimas not about to let even his bests hosts let their skills get rusty. at the beginning of their career, he holds trainings more often, but for people who have been around for awhile it's just once every month or so, just to check in. before opening time he has them come in, and they take a seat at one of the tables together. ]

We're jus' gonna chat, yeah? It'll be fun.

b. it's a "date"

[ sometimes, though, training is more than just talking. after all, lots of hosts go on dates after their shift so he wants to make sure they're good for that too. fun date options around town include: karaoke, darts and pool! look, these are important skills. also, he will totally teach them how to be a pool hustler.

they meet up at the club before heading out for this exciting adventure ]

So where're we goin' today? Ya wanna sing or play a game?

iii. let's get ready!
a. [open to anyone]
[ getting the club ready is a busy process! and honestly, majima seems to be working all the time. whether he's around town buying things and making sure they've got everything for the evening with one of his great support staff by his side, or back at the club running numbers, or just making sure that all the tables are set and the glasses are clean.

you're welcome to pop your head in during this busy time or find him around town doing errands - there's a lot of possibilities here if you really want to run into majima or one of his other staff members as they're getting ready for the evening. ]

b. [open to staff]
[ before they open, all that's left is putting on the finishing touches - getting make up and clothes ready so all the hosts look their best. Majima's happy to help with that stuff too - he's got a great eye (just the one!) for making sure clothes and accessories match. it's also a great time for last minute concerns or questions. majima tries to check in with everyone and see how they're doing before they open, anyways. ]

Let's shine our best today!

iv. wildcard

[ this is definitely an open mingle so feel free to do whatever with whomever!! if your character wants to work for majima you can also use this and/or hit me up at

luftballons for a special prompt or anything ]

[i, open to everyone]
[Shuji works here part-time, but he isn't a host. That said, patrons can see him in the back, taking inventory or getting Majima's attention for something. He dresses well when he's at the club, naturally.

...he's not going to talk to customers during work hours - they should be talking to the hosts, and also buying drinks - but it's possible to meet him on his way to work, or to just see him after spotting him at work and interrogate him about his job.]

[ii, open to staff]
[Shuji's actual job is helping deal with the money parts of the business. Parts of this are easy - Shuji can draw up a budget based on what they've spent on which aspects of the business in previous months, and tell you when they've overspent or whether they can afford to invest more in this and this and how much savings they should keep in case they get a hole in the roof or something.

Parts of this are not easy.

That thumping sound you just heard was Shuji's head hitting the table he'd been working at. It was followed by a loud groan of:] Tax law.

[iii, open to staff]
[Shuji's official role may be to deal with financial stuff, and he would die rather than be a host and have his job be making conversation with people he doesn't even know. But he does know fashion and styling, and right before they open is a busy time when all hands and eyes are needed.

To hosts:] Your tie's too close to the red in your suit without matching, it looks weird, switch it for a different red or a neutral.

[Or:] You forgot to put in your cufflinks.

[Or:] You're a little heavy on the eyeliner, tone it down some.

[iv, wildcard]
[he's here to crunch numbers and chew bubblegum, and he's all out of bubblegum]

[ majima walks in with a banana (its good for headaches!) and a glass of water and puts them both down in front of shuji ]

Hey, it's okay ta take a break, ya know? If ya need ta go walk around the block or some shit that's fine, too.

[It's not that she wants to partake in the club so much as she simply wants to see it, and so she declines to take a seat when the attendant asks her. Instead she sits at the bar, ordering something nonalcoholic and taking in the scene.

It's interesting, she has to admit. She's never seen its like before, but there's something a little charming about the set-up. Hosts both male and female chat cheerfully with their customers (what about, Rosalind wonders, but she supposes they have a list of topics with which they might engage their client), and though there's clearly a few drinks here and there, there's nothing unpleasant or aggressively alcoholic about the atmosphere. It's friendly, low-key and yet with a touch of class that lifts things nicely.

Well done, Majima, she thinks to herself, and watches the man in question as he goes from table to table. She won't bother him while he's busy, but once there's a lull, she'll look to catch his eye.

But hey, if anyone wants to talk to her while she's waiting, feel free.]

Madame Lutece.

[ there's a flicker of a smirk when he walks over to greet her. like "i never thought i'd see you here" but without saying so. he figures she'll know it, anyway, based on the conversations they've had about his line of business. ]

I'm glad to see you. Can I get you another drink?

Edited 2017-09-28 03:04 (UTC)

[God, look at him. He looks handsome, she thinks, and then hates herself for how old she's gotten. But he does look handsome when he's dressed up like that, and she smiles. There's just a hint of wryness in it, just as there'd been a touch of a smirk in Majima's.]

Mm, not just yet. Can you spare a few minutes to talk, or will I have to make do with sight-seeing for a bit longer?

i. sunshine staff

[ Kiryu is a regular at Sunshine, and it isn't just because his boyfriend owns the place. He enjoys chatting and drinking with the girls and guys who work here, and is more often than not hanging out as a customer than visiting Majima in his office. It's totally fine, he and Majima have an understanding. He's not gonna tell Kiryu to just stop talking to people he likes.

Plus, Kiryu has deep pockets. No joke, he drops so much money at Majima's club that he probably should be getting some kind of discount. Ah, well, he doesn't mind, really. He just really loves it here. Lucky you, it looks like he's your customer tonight. ]

Hi, how's it going?

[ Funny, he seems like such a conversationalist when it's chatting people up at a cabaret club... ]

ii. OTA

[ So maybe Kiryu does come to the club outside of just his usual routine as a customer. This time he's looking for Majima, but it's not anything urgent and he's happy to help around in the meantime. That said, he did have a rather formal day at work, so you it's somewhat understandable if you saw him and thought he was part of the staff. Or maybe this is where you pin Kiryu down and ask him about his personal life? Idk, just go for it. At the very least, he's good for bossing around if you need to carry something heavy. ]

iii. WILDCARD

[ Something else? Hit me up on plurk at cantito if you want anything specific with Kiryu! ]

I can spare a few minutes. I won't even charge you for them.

[ he stands for a moment before deciding to take a seat next to her, but his posture is still all business like. ]

What would you like to talk about?

[ Kiryu's a regular, so he definitely recognizes Shuji by now. He hasn't actually gone to say hi yet though, so it's probably time he fixed that. Plus, it's early. Kiryu probably wouldn't be let in if he wasn't dating the boss. ]

Shuji, right? How's it going?

[Good lord, listen to that accent.]

I'm flattered.

[Perhaps not flattered. Amused, maybe, but not in a patronizing way.]

We might start on how good this place looks. I hope you're proud, Majima-san.

Thank you.

[ he inclines his head, bowing a little. sometimes mannerisms from his memories bleed over a little, and things start to feel like second nature, especially since she's using a japanese honorific with him. ]

I'm very pleased with it, but a lot of the credit goes to my employees. This place wouldn't be anything without their hard work.

How do you train them?

[She glances out towards the tables, her eyes lingering on one table for a few seconds. It really is a process she's curious about.]

A combination of things - mostly practicing dates. Like roleplaying. I figure if they can practice a date with their big, scary boss, they can probably handle whoever comes in here.

You're many things, Majima, but I don't think scary is one of them. Still, I can see why that works. I assume you pick out the clothes?

[ he nods ]

I have a little more help with that these days, but it's ultimately usually my decision.

Well. I'll keep this in mind next time I want to change careers, hm?

Don't be facetious.

[ wow thats an SAT word ]

Don't crush my dreams before they've begun.

Fine. Why don't you try it? Get a taste and chat me up.

I almost have it, I swear. I don't want to take a walk and lose my train of thought.

[He'll take a sip of water, though.]

[It's easy to tell that Majima and Kiryu are dating. Even if Majima hadn't bragged about his boyfriend to Shuji, you could just Tell.]

That's me! Shuji Tsushima, finance guy. Those are going just fine.

And you're Kiryu?

[He doesn't need to make it sound like a question, but it's a little more polite that way.]

[Terra is still getting used to being away from the bar--it's been about a month and a half and he still has trouble being a more typical host. Occasionally, he looks back at the bar longingly with a sigh. Hopefully he can get his spot back once his hands have recovered enough...

But! Relief! It's Majima's boyfriend who, while Terra hasn't interacted with a whole heck of a lot, can only be an agreeable person if he's able to handle Majima. Sometimes he needs to be careful depending on the person, but Kiyru should be a safe bet to stay more relaxed. Terra grins at him happily.]

Ah, Kiryu! Nice to have you back once again. We've been counting the minutes~ [Is that too flirty of a greeting for your boss' boyfriend? Oops.]

I'm doing well, happy to get away from my rehab and relax with one of our best customers. [Snicker]

Edited 2017-09-28 19:38 (UTC)

[ Ah yes, Majima's a real sweetheart. Kiryu would expect no less. ]

Yeah. Majima's told me about you. Says you're a big help.

[ Of course, Majima has nothing but nice things to say about all of his employees. ]

[ Definitely don't worry about flirting. Kiryu's weirdly here for it. Hell, Majima would probably endorse it. (They have that kind of relationship.) ]

Thanks. I always like coming around.

[ And paying up big bucks on champagne to help guys like Terra who are still working on their host thing. He smiles. Flattery totally works on him. ]

How have your hands been doing?

[Terra shrugs with a smile.]

Good enough to net me a girlfriend, bad enough that I'm still occasionally dropping glassware in my apartment.

It was kind of Boss to transfer me over to a different duty for the time being, but I hope I can get back to pouring you many, many drinks in the near future!

[A quiet laugh.]

I like it here too much to take time off.

[Terra frowns at Shuji after being scolded about his cufflinks. Do cufflinks even matter that much? Is anyone going to notice? Isn't he the cool, tall, strong, rugged guy anyways? He groans softly as he materializes his cufflinks from wherever.]

Sorry, sorry, Shuji...[He'll go on putting them in...]

I miss being tucked away at the bar, when no one really noticed this stuff...

[And as he's putting in his right cufflinks, his fingers lock up for a moment, causing it to drop down to the floor, tinging and tanging as it rolls up to Shuji's feet.]

Whoops?
