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.

[he doesn't reply, only because he has a biting comment. instead he pushes off the bar, maybe tonight isn't the best night to hit on people who can bring up feelings of the past.] Well, if you're relieving me from your thrall, then I must be going.

You're free to leave whenever you like. I'm not forcing you to talk to me.

AM I MISSING A REPLY TO A LOG SOMEWHERE....

It's not you, I promise. I guess there was just something in the drink that's unsettling me.
hexappeal: (this is lame.)

I... DON'T KNOW???

Oh, bullshit. I don't know you well enough and I won't pry, but I can't avoid a subject if I don't know that it's bothering you -- do yourself a favor and remember that. Also, remember to drink lots of water so you don't get dehydrated.
