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.

No. The "fans" seem to know to keep quiet.

[ It was easier to just keep talking rather than think about things too much. ]

Or they're scared of you.

They should be. That's not a thing I give away easily.

[ and he's really p disgruntled about people knowing who he is. ]

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-19 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
I know. Took you a hell of a long time to tell me.

[identity profile] isthenight.livejournal.com 2011-12-19 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I still haven't told you. Technically speaking.
meowminx: (breathe)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-19 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I know. It's...

[ Se trails off, not sure what to say. ]
meowminx: (thoughts stray)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-20 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ She crosses her arms. ]

Should be used to this by now.

[identity profile] isthenight.livejournal.com 2011-12-21 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
If I were you, I'd be more concerned about getting used to all this.
meowminx: (answers)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-21 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that too.

[ Glancing off to the side, frowning. ]
meowminx: (just another day)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-21 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ She glances back towards him. ]

Just that you're right. And maybe that's a problem.

Do you know about Damian?

[identity profile] isthenight.livejournal.com 2011-12-21 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know much yet.

[ but he intends to stalk find out more ]
meowminx: (cold)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-21 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
He's more like you than his mother. Seems she's here too.

[ Carolina's clearly not happy about that. ]

[identity profile] isthenight.livejournal.com 2011-12-23 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ he just makes an affirmative noise in the back of his throat. more things to look into... ]

Do you talk with him much?
meowminx: (just another day)

Wow autocorrect...

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-23 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
Some. He enjoys telling me I'm not good enough for his father. Then he asks for cat advice.

asdkjf i was wondering about that...

[identity profile] isthenight.livejournal.com 2011-12-24 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
He sounds like an interesting kid.
meowminx: (questions)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-24 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Be careful with him.

[ Another moment of silence. ]

Is there anything you need?

[identity profile] isthenight.livejournal.com 2011-12-24 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
I will be.

[ slight pause ]

No. The offer is appreciated, however.
meowminx: (breathe)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-24 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
Right.

Guess I'll see you around.

[identity profile] isthenight.livejournal.com 2011-12-27 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
You will.

Have a good evening, Selina.
meowminx: (in motion)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-27 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
You too.

[ And she walks away far faster than she needs to. ]
