I'll just live on in the Dark

WHO: Anyone heading to the Iceberg Lounge
WHERE: At a damn fine building downtown
WHEN: 12/12; Night
WARNINGS: Will be edited if necessary.
SUMMARY: Opening night!
FORMAT: Whatever you want! Tag yo'selves in!



Walking into the bar is like walking into a wide open room, but the dimmed lights never seem to be bright enough to catch every detail in one swoop. To the far right wall is the bar, and a long bar it is, with bartenders lining it spaced by about five feet or so in between. Nobody actually sits at the bar, of course. The bartenders are there to make drinks for the servers. While both the bartenders and server girls wear tuxedos, the women's are made for the intent to actually catch the eye, of course. Fishnets replace slacks, dressshirts cut much lower than necessary, and tophats on each woman's head. They grin, and flirt, and make their way, but the moment a hand drifts too far, there's the legion of bouncers who line the walls, watching for any infraction. The Penguin is, after all a chauvenist, but he is no pig.

The middle of the wide area is devoted to tables, an endless sea of white clothed tables, each one a unique and different ice sculpture in the center. Each one unique, lit from beneath with a light that lets an almost wet light radiate from each table.

And of course to the left is the stage, performers that never cease to move, or sing, or whatever is up for the next part of the night. Breaks between each are sparse, quick, and the music never becomes too loud. And the stage, it is lined with penguins. A bit of irony, perhaps, but Penguin wouldn't begrudge his prior career as a gotham rogue. Perhaps he even reveled in the reminder. Out there for everyone to see.

Regardless, there would be no grand plots or schemes tonight. Just a party.
radiantly: (yeah right)

Angelica was wearing something a little different from her usual evening wear. She didn't have to worry much about being cold, thanks to her powers, but she couldn't help but worry that she was dressed a bit too immodestly.

But she was there to have fun. And this time, she was certain she hadn't accidentally wandered into a strip club. So Pietro really had no excuses to complain about what she and Raven were doing all night long.

She took a sip of her cosmo, breathing in the atmosphere. "This place is adorable, don't you think?"
blue_and_proud: (Blonde - So it's like this...)

Raven grinned at the redhead as she took a sip of her drink. "Yeah. It's not at all what I was expecting." She paused. "Although I don't really know what I was expecting." She shrugged as she looked around.

"It's pretty nice, though. Sort of..." What was the word she was looking for. "Low-scale classy."
radiantly: (smirk)

[personal profile] radiantly 2011-12-13 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
"Approachable classy," Angie laughed in agreement. Like something the people back home in Morristown would think was classy. Not that it was too tacky or anything. But it was on a different level than the New York clubs she'd been to back home.

"And there are so many people. I can't believe all these imPorts turned out for the grand opening." There were dozens of people she recognized, people she knew by name. It was unusual to see such a cross section of society all in one place. Or so Angelica thought.
blue_and_proud: (Blonde - Considering)

[personal profile] blue_and_proud 2011-12-14 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, it's a club owned by an import, right? I mean...that's part of why I was curious." Raven shrugged. "Everyone else probably was too."

She was looking around as she talked. "Do you really think they need that many bouncers, though?"
radiantly: (i'm making a valid point)

[personal profile] radiantly 2011-12-16 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
"Probably not," she shrugged, sipping her cocktail again. "But then again, Mister Nygma is here. And Norman Osborn." She shuddered, mouth setting into a thin frown. "With men like that, you can't be too careful."

Edward she didn't particularly hate or anything, but he'd broken Felicia's heart more than once, and for that, Angelica would hold a grudge. Osborn on the other hand... well, everyone knew he was bad news.
blue_and_proud: (Blonde - Fascinated)

[personal profile] blue_and_proud 2011-12-17 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
Raven knew those people by name, though only a little by reputation. It was hard for her to real judge people by what others told her about them...because people had been saying she was supposed to end up as a terrorist. If she knew that was wrong, how could she hold what other people said against them until she knew for sure?

Still, some of them sounded pretty awful. "Who is Norman Osborn, anyway? I've seen a few people mention him."
radiantly: (that bitch is glowing omg)

[personal profile] radiantly 2011-12-18 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
"He's a terrible man. A man who did some truly awful things in my world. And in this one he's made himself into a semi respectable business figure." There was no need to sugar coat it, Angelica thought. It was the truth and it sucked, why try to mince words?
blue_and_proud: (Blonde - Considering)

[personal profile] blue_and_proud 2011-12-20 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"Has he done terrible things here, too?" Raven asked after a moment.
radiantly: (go away)

[personal profile] radiantly 2011-12-24 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
"Nothing that can be proved," she said bitterly. "But that doesn't mean he's changed or reformed. He's still a murderer."
blue_and_proud: (Blonde - So it's like this...)

[personal profile] blue_and_proud 2011-12-24 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Raven was quiet for a minute, taking a sip of her drink. "But you can't prove it. I mean, I get what you're saying, but..." She frowned faintly. She didn't want to tell Angie she was wrong, she didn't know if she was wrong.

"I don't know. It just seems harsh to judge someone when you can't prove it. Or for something they did on another world."
radiantly: (alarmed)

[personal profile] radiantly 2011-12-25 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Angelica couldn't believe this conversation was happening. Why didn't Raven understand? Maybe it was because there was no one like Norman Osborn in her world. Heck, even Magneto seemed like a decent person in Raven's universe. "You haven't seen the things he's done. He might not have murdered anyone here, but he still has innocent blood on his hands."
blue_and_proud: (Blonde - Oh so pretty.)

[personal profile] blue_and_proud 2011-12-30 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"Fine. I just-" After a silent moment she shifted faintly. "Pietro thinks I am a criminal too, and I'm not. But he still thinks it." She sighed. "I don't know."
radiantly: (you won't like me when i'm angry)

[personal profile] radiantly 2012-01-01 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
"But you're from a different world than we are." Angelica's brows furrowed. "Osborn is from the same world as me."
