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.

Not everybody could.
[She laughs a little, shaking her head.]
Thankfully. Sorry. Mixing world terms -- not even sure if they're familiar to you.
oh wow look at all those raw contents D:
it's okay. think of it as the raw fish to the tasty sushi of your post? okay bad metaphor...
[sipping her drink, she considers.]
Why? What's your interest in the super scene?
i can deal with that
no subject
That's not always possible, though, with the City.
[Someone is personally glad the Joker's on a glacier, okay?]

[He tips his glass towards her before taking a sip.]
Don't the heroes help any?
no subject
You tell me. Do they? Individually or on the whole, it's a pretty loaded question.
no subject
I just arrived; you tell me.

[She considers for a moment, and looks into her glass. Hmm.]
Here - I think things could stand to be better organized and more proactive. Don't ask me how to organize any of that, though-- I'm a journalist, not a super-person. Well, beyond the porter's ideas of a super person, anyway.
But so many in one City? It's a wonder there's not just a smoking crater here. We had one hero and one villain for going on twenty years, and -- even there, that was more then enough to cause damage, and our supervillain doesn't compare to some of the stuff I've seen here. He was pretty mild.
So. I don't know. Could it be worse? Yes. Could it be better? Definitely. It's just 'worse' is a lot easier to reach then 'better.'
[Flagging a waitress down now.]
Refill for you?
