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.

Few weeks last time I was home.

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

Damian know you're here?

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)

Damian and I have gotten much closer here.

[ Little smile. ]

Oh, his father's alive back home too. And doing very well.

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)

[ Eyes narrowed. ]

The larger picture is you lost. You cheated and you still lost.

[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. ]

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.

[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.
meowminx: (burning down)

[personal profile] meowminx 2011-12-29 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe for you.

For everyone. That is the nature of it.
