open to 18+ || dj turn it up

WHO: Any 18+ characters
WHERE: A nightclub called Quicksilver
WHEN: January 20th, evening
WHAT: Glow-in-the-dark themed night at the club! Minako and Ann would’ve invited all their friends, but anyone else can join in, of course!
WARNINGS: Alcohol consumption, but otherwise nothing too major. Let us know if we need to change this!

LIGHT UP THE NIGHT

[Welcome to Quicksilver. Like many other nightclubs in the city, the onset of 24 hour darkness hasn’t hurt its business in the least. In fact, they’ve decided to capitalize on it by hosting their glow-in-the-dark themed nights more often. When guests turn onto the street, a huge table outside the club is immediately visible, lit up with hundreds of rainbowed glow-in-the-dark merchandise on sale, ranging from regular glowsticks to glow-in-the-dark crowns, bracelets, and necklaces. Not feeling the accessories? Head to the station next to the merch. For a small fee, artists are there, ready and waiting to use glow-in-the-dark face paint as their medium, with your skin as their canvas.

Or characters could’ve come with their own glowsticks, or done their makeup from home, in which case, please head on in!]


SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[Quicksilver’s bar, for those of you 21 and over, is fully staffed tonight with several bartenders at work. Need a drink to wind down from all that dancing? Or maybe you feel like turning up instead. There’s a wide variety of drinks available on Quicksilver’s menu, from beers to cocktails to straight up shots of alcohol. Come on over and drink with friends, make new ones, and have a great time! There’s also water bottles available for everyone, including those of you who are underage! Just be sure to drink responsibly and act accordingly; anyone who decides to start a bar fight will be thrown out of the club immediately.

Quicksilver will also be holding an All You Can Drink contest. The contest is 1v1 style; challenge a friend or even the person next to you and see who can drink the most 151 shots. It’s an incredibly strong alcohol that...practically tastes like rubbing alcohol, so good luck to all participants. The prize is a $20 Visa (or Recolle equivalent) gift card for each winner!]


JUST DANCE

[There’s a couple of different DJs playing at the club tonight with a variety of music, mostly of the EDM and hip-hop genres. Each DJ has their own style, some who may fancy your tastes and some who may not; every DJ’s taking song requests tonight, however, so feel free to put in a song and see if the DJ likes what you’ve got! The music’s also blaring through the speakers, so if you’re hanging around outside, feel free to get down out there, too. Show off your moves and feel the beat--the dance floor’s calling!

For those of you who are wallflowers, there may be a few NPCs trying to drag you on the dance floor. They seem very eager about getting everyone to turn up, apparently, so if you’re nearby and chilling on the side, don’t be surprised if someone’s trying to tug you onto the floor with them.]


A MOMENT AWAY

[Getting a little too hot inside and outside the club? A little ways up the street, there are plenty of alleyways to slip off into, if the ambient noise from fellow revelers isn’t too much of a bother. This is where any up close and personal conversations can happen...just be careful not to stumble into someone else’s alleyway.

If none of that is appealing, why not walk a little further? A block away, far enough away that the sounds from the club are nonexistent, there’s a tiny Thai restaurant open and waiting for hungry customers. Anything from the menu is sure to satisfy any midnight munchies.]

I

[Cleo doesn't need glow-in-the-dark accessories- As she approaches the club in the dark, she can be seen by her glowing eye. It's probably a bit freaky, though the rest of her outfit probably helps her fit in here.

She's avoiding the facepaint like the plague, but she still ends up with several glowing bracelets, including one around her tail, and she looks pretty confused by them.]


II

[Cleo may be too young to drink still, but she can still dance. She tries to wallflower at first, of course, but, well. No one's going to let her. Damn the NPCs. Still, once she actually gets pulled onto the dancefloor, she's actually pretty good, even if she's mostly just copying what she's seeing everyone else do here.

Still, every so often, she's pausing to surreptitiously look for someone she knows so she has an excuse to leave. Come help her! Or drag her back to the dancing, either way.]

[Leave? How about no. How about never? Pen is...definitely on the far side of tipsy at this point, and when she spots Cleo on the floor she moves right on over and grabs both hands for a dance.]

That's pretty good. Now you dance with me...!
cattack: (pic#11746077)

[personal profile] cattack 2018-01-23 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[rip her. She is easy enough to grab back over to the floor, as confused as she is.]

Penelope? I, ah, don't know how to dance with someone, though?!
mincingminuet: (Delighted)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2018-01-23 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
That's okay. Just...stay close. Like, real close, but don't quite touch. It's all about movement...

[Now, Pen is definitely not a great dancer, but she's limber enough, and alcohol is a bit of an inhibition remover. She twists and shakes her hips, getting close but not grinding on Cleo or anything, generally moving to a beat.

Not the beat of the music though. But she's doing her best to follow some unheard rhythm.]


You were doin' good earlier!
cattack: (but damn Godzilla is hung.)

[personal profile] cattack 2018-01-23 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
I was alone, earlier- I was just copying what I saw others doing...

[She's trying to move with Pen, though, she... is clearly thrown off by the lack of rhythm.]
mincingminuet: (Bright)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2018-01-23 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Excuse her, her head is swimming, but she's really into it.

Eventually she decides Cleo probably won't freak out at a touch, and so bumps hips.  Not hard, just prompting, and her dancing gets a little smoother as she begins to pay attention to the crowd and the beat.]


Wiggle your booty, Cleo!
cattack: (pic#3478400)

[personal profile] cattack 2018-01-23 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[She follows Pen's lead, but she balks at her words...]

That- That seems rather undignified!
mincingminuet: (Yeah!)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2018-01-23 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
And? It's Fun!

[Loosen up!]
cattack: (NO THIS IS STUPID.)

[personal profile] cattack 2018-01-23 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[do you really think she's good at loosening up, pen]

That... That's fun?
mincingminuet: (Delighted)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2018-01-23 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hip bump again.

Get used to this of flee!]


Heck yeah!
cattack: (pic#11741707)

[personal profile] cattack 2018-01-23 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I... If you're sure....

[She's going to be mimicking Pen's movements, at least.

Though that means hip-bumping her back.]
mincingminuet: <user name=axiometric> (Serious (Witch Hat))

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2018-01-23 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pen laughs and staggers a little, spinning to catch Cleo's hands.]

Okay...! See!

[Wobbling a bit, she grins up at Cleo, cheeks quite pink from booze and exertion.]

You got moves, Cleo.
cattack: (pic#11741705)

[personal profile] cattack 2018-01-23 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not too different from martial arts...

[yes it is, cleo???]

But, thank you? I think. Are you all right?
mincingminuet: (RW Dance)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2018-01-24 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Pen freezes mid stride, looking right at Cleo, and through her...]

...Yeah. Fine...shit...

[Stepping back, she starts into a dance routine. Quick, light, much more fluid, her hips and arms and torso all moving in sync perfectly. Much, much more smoothly than before.]

I just remembered how to dance...that's all!
cattack: (> Wild CATGIRL is interested...)

[personal profile] cattack 2018-01-24 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
A vision...?

[She steps back and watches. She's actually genuinely impressed, and she claps.]
mincingminuet: <user name=axiometric> (Koma Bright)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2018-01-24 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Something like that.

[Hopping, skipping, she does a handspring, and then actually spins around on it like a top.]

This is awesome. It's like...like I've done this my whole life! Like other me.
cattack: (pic#11159570)

[personal profile] cattack 2018-01-24 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[okay, yeah, that is incredible, but.]

Is it okay to do that after you've been drinking...?
mincingminuet: (Default)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2018-01-24 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
I've had like...two drinks!

[She hops up, skips up onto her feet, and laughs.]

...But I'm kinda winded.
cattack: (You're kind of adorably dumb.)

[personal profile] cattack 2018-01-24 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[She laughs.]

Perhaps you should build up your own strength before mimicking the visions.
mincingminuet: (*Cracks Fingers*)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2018-01-24 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
That, or drink less.

[She'll be fine...really, but she's definitely heading off the floor...]

Time for another, I think.
cattack: (You're kind of adorably dumb.)

[personal profile] cattack 2018-01-24 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Cleo will at least follow her to make sure she's okay... and to get off the dance floor.]

May I ask what the vision was?
mincingminuet: <user name=axiometric> (Smuglord)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2018-01-24 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
Ever...had every single aspect of a skill your other self knew shoved in your head?

That. That's what happened. Only instead of spear fighting or piloting, it was dance.
cattack: (What is this shit.)

[personal profile] cattack 2018-01-24 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
[She thinks for a moment...]

... I did become skilled with a sword rather quickly, but I assumed that was me.
mincingminuet: (Lighting the Way)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2018-01-24 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
I've learned a lot that way. Fighting, dancing, flying that airship, how to fight with a cane...

I'm beginning to wonder what I'll pick up next.
belligerentwarrior: (What a sweetheart)

[personal profile] belligerentwarrior 2018-01-24 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
I.

[Freya spends much of her night near the bar. She does her fair share of dancing and egging people on in their drinking contests, but she's being responsible tonight, moderating her drinking and staying where she can keep an eye on several people at once. She's definitely had fun with theme, wearing several of the bracelets and necklaces, and had one of the artists paint around that weird new tribal tattoo of hers.]

[She has been drinking, though, and Freya's normally small concept of personal space's diminished even further; she's likely to greet anyone she even remotely knows by putting an arm around their shoulders before she gets around to saying "hi."]


II.

[Her whole aim tonight was to not think about everything that's been on her mind for the last week, but there comes a point when the late hour and alcohol turn her thoughts that way, regardless.]

[Late into the cold night, when Freya's sure no one's she's looking out for's with anyone weird, she steps outside. Freya leans against the building and stares up at the darkness of the dome, as if it'll give way and show her the stars if she's stubborn enough.]
