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.

[That answered that, then. There was nothing to be done for it but wave over one of the fishnet clad waitresses and have two glasses of wine placed on the table.]
meowminx: (it's like this)

[ Well. Selina's clearly curious and a little suspicious as she approaches to take the empty seat. ]

[Enemies or indifferent? It was hard to say where she and Kyle may stand whenever the woman was from. It may well depend on the state of the detective's 'death.' Ah well. There was a chance she wouldn't be recognized, but however the cards fell she wouldn't shy away.]

A striking choice of dress.
meowminx: (claws ready)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-16 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, that voice. She knew the voice all too well. And the way her fingers curled into pseudo claws, she wasn't happy to hear it. ]

Talia.
daughterofthedemon: (Default)

[personal profile] daughterofthedemon 2011-12-16 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Selina.

[Not so indifferent, then. Talia lifted her wine glass in a small toast, one sided toast before she took a sip.]
meowminx: (cold)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-16 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ Selina just stared. And didn't touch the glass. ]

When did you get here?
daughterofthedemon: (Default)

[personal profile] daughterofthedemon 2011-12-17 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
You're under some strange assumption I owe you any answers. I suggest you get rid of that.
meowminx: (disguise)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-17 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
You owe me a hell of a lot more than that.
daughterofthedemon: (Default)

[personal profile] daughterofthedemon 2011-12-17 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
For all I've done for you, Kyle, I find that highly unlikely. But I'm in a celebratory mood. You're welcome to try and change my mind.
meowminx: (burning down)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-17 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
All you've done? Including trying to get my brain wiped?
daughterofthedemon: (9)

[personal profile] daughterofthedemon 2011-12-18 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[It was like that, was it? She must have been certain indeed of the detective's death.]

After I gave you any defense at all in that area. Ones it seems you failed to improve upon.
meowminx: (pissed off)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-18 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She snaps the stem of her wine glass by accident. ]

Did just fine, actually. You're the one who sent your flunky prying in my head.
daughterofthedemon: (Default)

[personal profile] daughterofthedemon 2011-12-19 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's behind shadows, but oh that small smile at the snapped glass.]

Fortunately for you it was my agents. Or, rather, fortune for a certain mutual acquaintance. How many years has it been for you, Selina?
meowminx: (excuse me?)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-20 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Few weeks last time I was home.

[ She drains the broken glass and drops it on the table. ]

Damian know you're here?
daughterofthedemon: (10)

[personal profile] daughterofthedemon 2011-12-20 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Now there is a topic you cannot possibly argue concerns you.

[She takes a more thoughtful sip of her own drink.]

His father was still alive. When I left.
meowminx: (really not safe)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-20 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Damian and I have gotten much closer here.

[ Little smile. ]

Oh, his father's alive back home too. And doing very well.
daughterofthedemon: (Default)

[personal profile] daughterofthedemon 2011-12-20 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Is this how we shall play the game, Selina? You see the immediate prize and care nothing for the larger picture. Unsurprising. I'd expect little more from a petty thief.
meowminx: (bitch meet window)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-21 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ Eyes narrowed. ]

The larger picture is you lost. You cheated and you still lost.
daughterofthedemon: (Default)

[personal profile] daughterofthedemon 2011-12-22 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Sigh]

There is no prize to that game. But that picture is not relevant at the moment, anymore than this new one will be to us once we return to reality.
meowminx: (breathe)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-22 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
You sure seemed convinced there was one.

[ Grrr. ]
daughterofthedemon: (Default)

[personal profile] daughterofthedemon 2011-12-22 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you wish revenge for crimes that hold no bearing here? Shall we argue over dimensions where we've killed one another off as well? I'm sure if we set our minds to it we can find at least one individual in the City that knows of one.
meowminx: (burning down)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-22 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I never said anything about revenge. Not exactly worth anything here.
daughterofthedemon: (Default)

[personal profile] daughterofthedemon 2011-12-24 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Certainly not the effort required for it. The detective does not seem a constant enough figure to fully continue the game in any other form, as well.
meowminx: (answers)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-25 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Frowning. ]

It's not a game.
daughterofthedemon: (Default)

[personal profile] daughterofthedemon 2011-12-28 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Simply because there is no prize final prize to be found doesn't make it less of one.
