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.

[Uh oh, lush senses tingling... oh, hey, it's Buffy. Whom Boston hasn't met in the flesh, so to speak, but that voice is pretty familiar.

He flashes her an amused grin.]
Hello to you too.

I mean because some people are so blind but it doesn't matter because glasses are pretty dashing. But if you're just wearing glasses to look dashing, well. Your dash-o-meter might go down.

Hypothetically speaking.
bodysnatchers: (pb | the good thing)

[This is hilarious. He props himself against the bar, chin resting in his palm and beams at her.] Some people, huh.

Just so happens that I'm legally blind and forbidden from driving one of these -- [Holding up his drink.] -- around without 'em.

[He slips his glasses off and has them try Buffy on for size. His host usually wears contacts and the lenses are indeed prescription. Boston Brand is good.]

[Buffy gives a half-giggle as she takes the frames and shoves her drink at Boston as a fair trade.] Woobly. Also, wobbly. Your hypothetical dash stays exactly where it is, which is to say, it doesn't dash at all. [WHAT THE FUCK IS SHE SAYING]

How do I look?
bodysnatchers: (pondering)

[He clutches at the drink urgently with his free hand before it picks a fight with gravity that it can't win. Then he sets both glasses aside and holds his chin as if in deep thought.]

Very dashing. I reckon your dash-o-meter's gone right off the charts.

Boo-boo-boop. [She shrugs, handing the glasses back gingerly.] Sorry for doubting you.

You can never be too careful when you're dealing with a hypothetical hipster. [He slides her glass across the bar to her. If she wants another drink she'll have to be co-ordinated enough to collect it herself.] Does this mean I pass the test?

[She peers into the empty glass with a shrug. She feels fuzzy enough for the moment.] They are the most dangerous kind. [She sure seemed to be talking about hipsters a lot lately...] Oh yes, with flying-and-safely-nonironic-colors.
bodysnatchers: (well sure)

[personal profile] bodysnatchers 2011-12-15 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[They certainly have been a hot topic recently. Perhaps she is trying to misdirect from her own clandestine hipsterism...] Well, that's reassuring. For a while there I was worried I didn't have enough sincerity in my diet.
