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.

Of course. Though I'm usually the one being scared off-- journalist.

[But for now she's just nursing her drink and people watching.]

Figured I recognized you. You're that Ritchi dame, right?
pluckyreporter: (Smirk)

[personal profile] pluckyreporter 2011-12-16 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
I am. And you are?
bodysnatchers: (accordion lessons)

Geoff. I'm in acquisitions. [H e h. It never gets old.]
pluckyreporter: (Encouragement)

Nice to meet you, Geoff.

What do you acquire, then? In this crowd, could be anything, couldn't it? [Gotham has some seriously weird people here.]
bodysnatchers: (haters gonna hate)

Pleasure's mine.

People, mostly. I guess you could say I'm a glorified head-hunter.

Could have a lot of meanings for that in the City, but I'll hope it's relatively benign, for everyone's sake.
bodysnatchers: (transluscent)

[personal profile] bodysnatchers 2011-12-19 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
Relatively. Maybe even downright altruistic sometimes.
pluckyreporter: (Curious)

[personal profile] pluckyreporter 2011-12-20 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Altruistic, huh?

[Enough clues are getting dropped that 'Geoff' now has Roxanne's full attention.]

But no flashy costume to go with those intentions?
bodysnatchers: (pb | the good thing)

[personal profile] bodysnatchers 2011-12-20 10:47 am (UTC)(link)
I'd say a suit and tie is more of a uniform, really.
pluckyreporter: (Smart)

[personal profile] pluckyreporter 2011-12-20 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
In the City, you never know.
