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.

[ The reaction is one she's grown accustomed to and fast in the City. Gothamites were a hit or miss among imPorts; Kate would not be surprised if this guy had taken some issue or interest with them.
She takes a seat across from him. ]
Like who?
no subject
[As if she might not know them, which he doubts. No need to mention Crane; he's not likely to be popular.]
no subject
They've been here quite a while, I believe.
no subject
And you?
MERRYHAPPYHOLIDAYMAS!!!!11
WORD A DAY LATER
Oh, no. I'm from Los Angeles. [It's an easy lie, the first that comes to mind. Let her take that however she wants.]
no subject
What brings you to the City?
no subject
[One minute he's smiling, feeling pretty good, relaxed--and then clarity floods his senses. That warm buzzed feeling fades and dies, as it should have earlier, and he sits up, suddenly alert.
Something changed, maybe with one of the City's many superhuman visitors. He stands and looks out over the crowd for bodies moving away, ignoring the present company for the moment.]
no subject
See something interesting now?
no subject
You didn't feel that?
no subject
Feel what?
no subject
Nothing. [A pause.] I like this, by the way. [He gestures vaguely at her outfit.]
no subject
Something had caught his attention, whatever it was, she makes a mental note of it and lets that subject go as casually as possible. ]
Thanks. [ But she means it, she had to toss together something last minute. ] I take it you're feeling better.
no subject
For the purpose of Gotham eavesdropping, yes. He offers his hand.]
Daken.
no subject
There's no sign of hesitation as she takes his hand and shakes it. ]
Kate. Pleasure meeting you, Daken.
