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.

"With the candlestick in the billiard room. You got me." He replied, twirling briefly to show off his host for the evening. "Whaddaya think, does my butt look big in this?"
meowminx: (it's like this)

She poked him--or the guy he was wearing, at least--in the shoulder. "Where did you get him?"
bodysnatchers: (boston the friendly ghost)

[personal profile] bodysnatchers 2011-12-13 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Off Broadway. A Streetcar Named Desire." He fished a folded up playbill from his back pocket and offered it to her. "Heard he's gonna be the next Brando."

Boston sipped his drink, smirking knowingly behind the lip of the glass. "Had a lucky escape in a stage rigging 'accident' last week. Figured he owed me one."
meowminx: (bring it on)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-14 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
"Does he already have legions of adoring fans?" She studied the playbill, not entirely sure how she felt about a body being taken for a walk like this. Even an actor.
bodysnatchers: (message in a bottle)

"Hope not," he adjusts his Clark Kent glasses, "although this is a classy crowd..."

In truth, he doesn't like being in someone else's skin for too long either. It's like driving around a friend's expensive car, growing increasingly paranoid that you'll wrap it around a street lamp. But he can get a little nuts if he doesn't, too.
meowminx: (above it all)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-14 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
"How well do you know Oswald?" A safer topic, perhaps.
bodysnatchers: (looks to obscure to me)

"Not intimately," he replied with a shrug. "Had a couple run-ins with his goons in the past, not much else. Honestly, I wasn't planning on coming, but Zee felt differently."
meowminx: (night at the opera)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-14 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
"So you're Zee's date then?" A little smirk.
bodysnatchers: (can a guy ever catch a break)

"In theory." His face takes a turn for the exasperated. "Haven't seen her since we arrived. Pretty sure she's ditched me."
meowminx: (naughty)

"That's terrible," Selina tisked. "She's clearly a terrible person."
bodysnatchers: (boston | oy)

[personal profile] bodysnatchers 2011-12-14 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"Am I right?" He asks rhetorically, throwing his arms up despairingly. Who can say whether it's luck or great skill that he avoids dousing a passing guest with scotch? "Got dressed up and everything..."
meowminx: (behind the mirror)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-14 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
A little laugh. "Or did you just choose someone who already was?"
bodysnatchers: (boston | say what?)

[personal profile] bodysnatchers 2011-12-14 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't see how that's important." Busted. Better changed the subject. "So, you come here stag?"
meowminx: (above it all)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-14 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
She shrugs. "Yes. And seems to be the question of the night."
bodysnatchers: (well sure)

one day i will manage to stick to one tense...

[personal profile] bodysnatchers 2011-12-14 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"For all the eligible bachelors, no doubt." He smirked. "Sorry, I meant no foul. Forget I asked."
meowminx: (answers)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-14 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
She shrugged. "Not a big deal."

Selina honestly hadn't thought about tonight. It was business, coming here. But of course this had come up often enough since Bruce had been Ported out.

"You're the boss." He'll let that one drop before things get too awkward. "Would 'how's the night treating you?' be a better question?"
meowminx: (breathe)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-15 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
"Hoping it stays this quiet." Slightly better question.
bodysnatchers: (side-eyes)

[personal profile] bodysnatchers 2011-12-15 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh?" Boston's here in part -- the part that wasn't coerced here on the threat of violence by Zatanna -- to keep an eye on things too. "Know something I don't?"
meowminx: (answers)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-15 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
"Aome people here I don't get along with." More than she knew, actually.
bodysnatchers: (born under punches)

[personal profile] bodysnatchers 2011-12-15 11:08 am (UTC)(link)
He frowned perplexedly. "You didn't figure that was a possibility at a Penguin party?"
meowminx: (glance)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-15 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"Didn't expect Black Mask to show his lack of face in public like ths." She was almost hissing.
bodysnatchers: (:/)

"Ain't he historically one of Ozzie's business rivals?" Boston craned his neck to look around over the heads of the crowd. "Maybe he wants someone know what the score is."
meowminx: (unleaded)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-15 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"Guess it's not a good crowd for putting another bullet in his head." Said so casually.
bodysnatchers: (pb | the good thing)

[personal profile] bodysnatchers 2011-12-15 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
He cocked his head to the side. "Don't tell me you could fit a piece in that li'l ol' purse of yours."
