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.

[Buffy's hair is done up in two tightly wound buns, dress shorty short short short and off-the-shoulder. Big earrings, her cross necklace, and stilettos finish the look. She's also already setting herself up for being the drunkest girl at the ball with a long island iced tea to start. If you start with ALL THE LIQUOR you should be able to mix them together later on. This is the logic she's adopting anyway. She's smiley and friendly and happy and a little bit flushed, pointing to the cute penguins and chatting up strangers about their adorableness. This is Buffy, fashionable but never late.]

[Why is it that he runs into her when she's usually in the state that he's in when people run into him. Unlike the other women he approaches that night, he approaches her because he actually wants to talk to her. Penguins aside (please don't talk about penguins), he slides up to her nonchalantly.]

Never thought I'd see you here.

Your hair is especially red this evening. [She almost giggles, managing to hold it in even as she reaches up to tug on a strand gently before letting her hand drop.]

It's always this red, Buffy. [It's deadpan but he lets her touch his hair, before he tucks it behind an ear.] You've been there long?

No, it's totally redder. [SO THERE] I've been here... a few hundred minutes. Not really clear on the exact number of hundreds.

[Zatanna watches her for a while before she approaches her. Drink in hand, she tries to keep the amusement at bay (man, B must be wasted by now, huh?).] Hey.
