[OOC Information: Welcome to the first part of this event! The RP currently as an open posting order. That means unless you are interacting with someone specifically, you may post freely and do not have to wait for others that you are not interacting with. Please quote players that you are directly interacting with, as a courtesy to make them aware of your post. For courtesy-sake, please use the following form as a header when posting: [b]Character's Name (Until the battle begins this can just be the civillian name)[/b]
[i]Location: (where are you at in the club? let people know so they can interact with you!)
Action: (what are you doing? makes it easier to skim posts for content.)[/i] SettingInside XS, one of DC's premiere atmospheres. A nightclub in Destiny City. Not much sets it apart from the other establishments nearby other than its black light decor and celestial themes. A narrow hall coated in black light murals welcomes those who are admitted at the door. Guests under the age of twenty-one each have their hands stamped with a red X to ensure that they are not served any alcoholic beverages from the bar. The club itself is two stories. There is a bar on each level and VIP access is required to reach the second level. For the sake of this RP it can be assumed that, for whatever reason, anyone in the 'Night Off' crowd has been granted VIP access should you wish to access that lounge. The dance floor is on the main level and the floor itself has been painted to resemble a night sky with wisps and galaxies trailing off towards the edges. Most of the furniture is crisp, modern and metal save for the booths in the VIP area, cushioned with plush pillows in a variation of blues and blacks. The VIP lounge takes up only half of the second floor, leaving the remaining half open with a view down to the dance floor. Occasionally a sweep of lights will wash over the area, bringing the atmosphere together while leaving everyone feeling more connected to the music they were set to move along to. ]

CordeliaLocation: Outside XS
Action: Waiting for the rest of the gang. It had been years since Cordelia Carden had arranged an outing like this. The last time she had been in highschool and the end results had not been nearly as fun or relaxing as they should have been. Tonight was going to be different, though. Tonight they were going to enjoy a well earned night off. Group Text to Girls Night Out + K: Got our names on the list for tonight. We can head inside once everyone's here. <3 ] She waited until the text had sent through before locking her phone, glancing around to see if she recognized anyone else who might be lingering around that night.

Khaleel
Location: Pestering Fiona at her house
Action: Pester Fiona on the way there
Khaleel was SO excited. He was practically bouncing! He had come over to watch some more of this Dr. Who with Fiona and...and he came to hang out and maybe snuggle and get more hot chocolate and MOOCH off her kindness.
Cause she was so kind. But instead he had a text message from his new friend too and was holding it up from under a huge blanket.
"I CAN GO TOO?"

Joanna Watson
Location: Inside XS on the dance floor!
Action: Dancing
Joanna had heard that the music was good to dance to at the nightclub XS and that people under 21 were welcome, just not allowed to have the alcohol, so of course this mean that she had to check it out. It helped when a friend from school passed her an one night VIP access pass that said friend didn't plan on sing. So she had dressed up in a cute dark blue dress with black tights underneath them and slipped on some shoes she could dance in but still looked apart of the outfit. When she got in, an x stamped on her hand, she immediately decided that this was now here new favorite club simply because it was space themed.
After a little bit of time exploring the first floor and checking to see what drinks they had for minors she moved on to the dance floor. She closed her eyes and with a grin on her face started to dance along with the music. At least she could be graceful in this outfit. When she was Kobayashi she was still learning to move in those boots with that skirt.

Bindhi
Location: Outside XS
Action: Sassin' and flirtin'
Bindhi hadn't thought that she'd ever feel reluctant to go clubbing. Getting out and dancing had been as important to her at one time as surfing and breathing. And I haven't done much surfing either, she thought with a touch of shock. Still Cordelia had been persuasive and Bindhi had reached a point of anticipation that didn't bode well for anyone if she was denied dancing. And as she wove her way through the crowd outside, looking for Cordelia, she couldn't help the slight smirk as she caught some of the stares directed her way.
Yeah well, I guess a tall, leggy blonde with tits in a tiny, dress'll do that. Grinning as she caught sight of her friend, she felt the phone in her purse go off and shook her head. Creeping up behind Cordelia, she draped her arms casually over the top of the other girl's shoulders and chuckled.
"You the reason for my phone buzzing away, Fun Size?"

Kestrel DeLacey
Location: DJ Station
Action: Taking over the booth for the evening awwww yeeee guest DJ.
It wasn't a night Kes was unfamiliar with. Outside of the station her services were not private and clubs sometimes called in the woman to host specialty nights or when in need - tonight was no different, and she had her collection and her headphones ready as she took the station, waving a bit to the previous DJ silently as she set up.
Some happy peppy music was playing, with an electronic feel - a general mix used to cover the change of shift between DJs, and soon she slipped in her gear, donned her 'kitty ear' headphones, and was queueing up music - a bland of dance, electronic, techno, industrial, gothic industral, - even house and light amounts of pop. She made sure nothing was too dark, and setted in as she surveyed the crowd, adjusting the microphone. She didn't need to do much talking at clubs, but it was relaxing to watch people, the blues of her outfit glowing eerily with her headphones under the blacklight as she stretched, and grinned.

Auguste de Saint-Meran
Location: Inside XS, near the bar
Action: Having a drink and watching the crowds
It wasn't all that unusual for Auguste to visit some of the clubs in Destiny City; though admittedly, he tended to go out with Colin, or even Nadia sometimes, more often than not, instead of just on his own. But he was here now, and he hadn't wanted to bring anyone with him. His messy thoughts made him want to be alone.
He couldn't put his burdens on anyone else, after all.
Auguste stood now, at the corner of the bar, a glass of wine in his hand. He raised it to his lips and took a small sip, letting the pounding music wash over him, letting it sink through his veins. It was a better distraction than the white walls of his room, and he had always loved dancing and music.
He was going to relax tonight. He was going to relax and have a good time just dancing and that was that.

Cordelia
Location: Outside XS
Action: Making faces at Bindhi
"Please tell me you actually brought a clutch with you and your phone is buzzing in your purse and it's not nestled somewhere it--," Cordelia paused for a moment as she leaned away from Bindhi so that she could turn to take a look at what the other was wearing. "... Where it probably wouldn't actually fit tonight. You do have a clutch, don't you? I don't think there's space for a hidden phone and ID pocket in that dress tonight."
Then, realizing that she probably sounded like an a**, she smiled. "Looks nice, though. We're just waiting for Khal and Fiona to get here and then we can head in." Cordelia glanced down at her phone again, bangle bracelets that she'd put on to accent her outfit jangling against her wrist.

Fiona Watson
Location: Heading to the Club
Action: Dragging Khaleel along with her
After everything Cordelia's text message and the proposed "girl's night out" was a blessing. She had spent far too long trying to decide what to wear because she had flashy club outfits but probably wanted to consider something more casual because, frankly, she'd rather be comfortable.
Besides, she still had bruises dotting her sides in too many places that she didn't feel like having to explain. She figured that the gang she was heading out with would understand but Fiona didn't want to chance it. Besides, she wanted to be able to dance if the opportunity presented itself.
So comfort won out when she picked her outfit and braided her hair down one shoulder. And it was the outfit she'd been wearing when Khaleel had shown up to watch shows and just relax. She humored him of course, because she had a hard time telling him no when the text message came across and he shoved his phone in her face.
"Of course you can come. I wasn't going to just kick you out and go alone," Fiona laughed, reaching for him and her small purse when she got to her feet. "Come on. Let's not keep Cordy waiting."

Chase Black
Location: Inside XS, at the bar
Action: Spotting Auguste and heading over to him.
Begrudgingly Chase had been convinced to go out to XS with some of his employees. They'd badgered him about being a man who was all work and no play, it didn't matter to them that he was not someone who really drank or that he didn't dance. Still, he'd given in because it was the seventh invitation in two months and he was running out of excuses that they'd accept.
So, at the first chance he got, Chase slipped away from the party-goer employees of his and wandered over to the bar, sliding into an empty seat.
Chase didn't drink, or rather hadn't in about five years but there was an underlying current of stress thrumming through him, and he figured <******** it when the bartender showed up and asked what he wanted to drink.
"A manhattan please," he said brusquely fishing out his wallet and sliding the man his card.
"Want a tab?"
Chase took a second to consider then decided, why not?
"Sure."
The man grunted and disappeared with his card and returned with his drink in a short minute. Taking a long sip he turned around, let his gaze drift across the sea of people until he spotted a familiar stock of white hair. Auguste.
Without even thinking twice, Chase slid off his stool and made a beeline for the dancer.
"I didn't think clubs were your thing. You struck me as more of a small coffeeshop with attractive barista's kinda guy."

Bindhi
Location: Outside XS
Action: Rolling her eyes just a little bit and eyeing all the cuties around
"Of course I did," Bindhi sighed and rolled her left shoulder just enough to bring the tiny purse on it's thin chain into view. "Bag of Holding cleavage is for the nights when I'm not going somewhere swank."
She paused to carefully study some of the people waiting to get in before grinning. Yes, it had definitely been a while since she'd gone out like this.
"Thanks. It was either this one or this gorgeous little thing where the back of the dress was literally nothing but straps. Except I figured you'd turn into a Mom and try to cover me up. That and I also figured I'm showing off enough scarring as it is. Ain't no one wants to see the mess of scars on my tum."
She paused again, eyes tracking a pair of very cute boys. Nodding her head in their direction, she continued speaking in a conversational tone.
"What do you think the chances are of them kissing at some point tonight? And if they do, will you let me watch? They're awfully cute," she turned her attention back to Cordelia. "Your friends'll be here soon, right? I may hurt someone if I end up being denied dancing and grinding and teasing cute boys and girls."

Auguste de Saint-MeranLocation: Inside XS, near the bar
Action: Having a drink and talking to Chase
He was debating the pros and cons of maybe dancing when he heard a voice - an all too familiar voice - come from somewhere near his left. Auguste half choked on his glass of wine and turned a little too quickly, his eyes widening as he took in the tall, dark haired form of the man beside him.
"Chase!" said Auguste, a smile breaking out across his face. "Hey! I didn't - expect to see you here!"
He felt himself flush under the comment, his cheeks pinking. Auguste let out a little laugh, slightly bashful, his gaze flickering out towards the dance floor where some couples were a little too close among the crowds, some just relaxing.
His gaze went back to Chase, eyes crinkling with pleasure.
"I do prefer coffeeshops," he said, deliberately not commenting on the attractive barista comment. "I just thought a change of pace could be nice."
Auguste took a sip of his wine and asked, "So what about you? What are you doing here?"

Khaleel
Location: ON THE WAY
Action: Trailing after Fiona like loyal puppy
This was Khaleel's first time at a real club with real friends and the man practically vibrated excitement. He didn't wear anything special attire wise because he hadn't planned on going since he was silly and didn't think of those things but he didn't seem to mind either, and was eagerly following after Fiona.
"You look amazing!" He told her, as they neared the club and he flashed his new american ID, courtesy of Colin kicking his a** to get one.
The young man had accidentally gone through a long confusing process with american DMV and somehow ended up with a ID that was made for the legal age of consumption.
Even though he was only 20.
"Is American clubs very much like others? Loud music? Lots of dancing?" Khaleel LOVEEEEEEEEED to dance.

Chase BlackLocation: Inside XS, near the bar
Action: Having a drink and talking to Auguste
"It's not exactly my thing but - " he shrugged, settling beside the blue-eyed boy comfortably. "Gotta step outta the box sometimes." He'd been doing that a lot lately with the blind date, the added shifts at the coffee shop, and not to mention all of the things he was going as General Labyrinthite. He took a long sip of his drink, finishing it off and setting it on the counter behind him, where the man asked if he wanted a second one and once again Chase thought to hell with it and said yes.
With a new drink in hand Chase's attention was fully Auguste's.
"Good, I'd hate to lose you to," he paused long enough to wave his hand at the people grinding and dancing on the floor. "This. Even though your freckles look lovely under the black light." Whiskey eyes drifted across the smattering of freckles dusted across the pale haired man's nose.
If Chase subconsciously licked his lips, he wasn't aware.
Maybe the whiskey was hitting him a little sooner than he expected, because he was leaning in closer to Auguste when he answered the question.
"My staff begged and pleaded until I came out with them," there was a pause of consideration before he smiled warmly at Auguste. "I wasn't very thrilled but, I don't think I'll mind much with the right company."

Auguste de Saint-MeranLocation: Inside XS, near the bar
Action: Having a drink and talking to Chase
Chase's appearance was welcomed, even if Auguste had spent the past several days avoiding everyone. There was something rather nice about his solid presence, something new and unfamiliar that he didn't really mind at the moment.
"Well, I'm glad you're here, whatever the reason," Auguste said with a smile. He took another sip of his wine, which was about half empty, and relaxed back against the counter, one arm wrapped around his waist, the other holding his glass.
He followed Chase gaze out to the dance floor and laughed a little again. "Some people are just more enthusiastic than others," said Auguste, but his brain caught up with the rest of his thoughts at the next comment, and he felt a strange sort of flush creep up onto his cheeks that had nothing to do with the heat of the club.
"Thank you," he said, smiling a little shyly up at Chase and trying to focus on those amber colored eyes of his. "You look nice tonight, by the way."
He felt a squirming in his stomach, an odd fluttering. Auguste took another swallow of wine and said, "Well, if you don't mind me keeping you company outside of your coffeeshop, I'd be glad to be here for you. You're a far better choice than some lot, and besides," he added, with a little grin, "I prefer baristas, right?"
