Character Name: Shannon Mccord (Captain Strengite)Location: Main Stage Vicinity Dice Roll: 8, 8, 5, 1 She drifted from group to group, chatting and interviewing, while slowly becoming more and more tired of everything. Soon she was going to have to check out at least one of those individual lounges that she was told about. Both for her writing and for her own sanity. Shannon found a quiet corner to take a breather, silver eyes taking in the bustling mass of people. Absently noting a few of the other officers she knew. It was actually tempting to go back to the bar and just hang out with Rene. She would pester Alex more if only he wasn't actively working. Abby was fun to tease but she was in the same boat as Alex. Shannon on the other hand was a 'guest' and while she was still working by collecting the odd glass here and there she wasn't exactly pulling in the same amount as some of the others and she was ok with that. Shannon just wanted the 'brownie points' for being there. For participating. For doing her duty. Even if she wanted to just leave for the night. With a sigh she finished off her glass of wine and plastered on a smile before once again forging into the crowd. Would it be bad if a 'guest' ducked backstage?

Character Name: Eion Risk (Faustite)Location: Main Stage Vicinity Eion paused at the sound of someone saying hello so close by. His attention went for the source instinctively, and he saw a girl facing in his direction. Eion paused, glass still held to his lips, and lowered it just enough that he could look in the direction that she was gazing. No one else was there, however.
After a pause, he raised his free hand and waved at her hesitantly. Seemed like her friend was getting up to come with, and Eion realized he might now be facing a whole conversation. But if he was to have a friendly chat with a couple of dames, he would require far more alcohol than someone's sloppy seconds.
Once he drained the glass, he saw that the light at the bottom had turned. He would leave that for an aspiring Lieutenant, however; he placed the empty glass on the abandoned table. Other people were sure to be distracted by each other as the night drew on, he expected. There would be more opportunity to snipe a few barely touched drinks while strangers started getting lost in each other's stories, or started falling asleep at the bar.
It'd make up for certain Negaverse agents doubting him being of age to partake.
Eion pointed to his throat and shook his head. Can't speak, he mouthed. Taking a chance on them, he began to sign: If you're looking for more alcohol, people leave that s**t around in places like this. Better to get drunk on their dime, if you can risk their backwash.

Character Name: America Jhones / BrassiteLocation: Lobby Dice Roll: 6, 6 "Hey Mr. Liam!" America chirruped happily. "You're ooking mighty dapper tonight!" It was nice that her Boss-in-Law was offering his support, but she also thought that anybody getting fresh tonight would be better placed on her List for later. Who was she to toss away perfectly good a*****e Starseeds? The Negaverse was hungry and future promotions were to be had! Ako... Sakura arriving got a wink and a saucy, "Hey there hot stuff." It was always kinda weird seeing all her co-workers out of uniform. America always liked to keep life in tidy boxes of purpose and context. This whole working while a civ thing was like mixing a couple boxes together. Messy, but maybe a little exciting too? Like peering into her coworkers other lives and selves for a night. The fact that they got to peek back was...fair, she guessed. When Miss Melody started talking about introducing talent, America was more than happy to put that card in her mental rolodex. Helping her boss find talent was a great way to help someone else while she got the goodwill of both, so she'd definitely keep and and an ear out. Listening to adults chat, America scanned the lobby until something caught her eyes. "Looks like I gotta get back to work. Just give me a holler if you need somebody extra cute and smart to give you a hand!"

Character Name: America Jhones / BrassiteLocation: Lobby Dice Roll: 6, 6, 5 Moving across the lobby America took care of a couple cups a little absently, craning her neck here and there. She could have sworn she saw that guy getting hassled by one of her co-workers. Did he get kicked out? Or did he get let in and wander off? Damn, she'd wanted to swoop in and play the super cool hero! After a few minutes she cornered a snooty looking ginger guy, arms crossed and head tilted in a way that made it look like she was looking down on him even thought she was several inches shorter. "Where is he?" "Excuse me?" The guy looked torn between shaken and irritated at her tone, but after a moment he took a shuddering breath and corrected himself, "How can I help you, miss?" Huh, looks like he recognized that she was a Boss b***h and realized he should correct his attitude. Good. Nice. "The boy you were talking to with that bad attitude." She crossed her arms so he'd know she wasn't happy at all about that. The resulting swallow was pretty satisfying. Taking a deep breath and clearing regretting some of his life's decisions, the guy gestured toward the bar. Lifting her chin at him in thanks, she left the lobby wish a short, "There's room for improvement, so like, try to live up to our expectations tonight."

Character Name: America Jhones / BrassiteLocation: Bar Dice Roll: 6, 6, 5, 3 Cups! Cups! Cups! America didn't forget to do her job even as she looked for her friend. it did slow her down a bit, though. Saddling up to the bar, she looked the old guy up and down and thought with a bit more upkeep, he could be a total Jeeves standard old man. But him next to Sailor Maid and they'd be a matched set for whatever rich assholes existed in the Negaverse. She was pretty sure there were a bunch, and one day she was gonna be one of them. "Hey, have you seen a guy about my age. Sort've a twiggy princess type? Makes a face like this..." Her expression turned a bit soft and sulky, but also a little crushed at the edges by life. She thought of it as Eion's I'm Hungry and My Orphanage Just Burned Down look. The bartender gave a nod and two non-alcoholic sweet teas before sending her on her way toward the main stage area.

Character Name: America Jhones / BrassiteLocation: Main Stage Vicinity Dice Roll: 6, 6, 5, 3, 8 Behind him, Eion would hear a familiar drawl, " Oh my gosh. I leave you alone for like ten minutes and you already picked up two hot girls?" She caught a bit of his signing, and was pretty chuffed to get to show off her knowledge in front of both Eion and these two ladies, "Hey there! This is Eion, and I'm America! He just said you can buy his drink for a dime, but watch out for the backwash." Settling down beside the boy, she placed the two sweet teas on the table and opened her mouth to call him a weirdo for saying something like that, but then froze, eyes wide. He was wearing a pin.

Character Name: Eion Risk (Faustite)Location: Lobby America? Eion's brows lofted as he turned at the sound of her voice. Sure enough, she was impossible to miss — all brimming with unearned confidence and youthful charm, if not a touch of teasing. They're not mine, he signed to her with a shake of his head. You can have them. If she wanted them, but they looked a little older than her.
Or he thought as much. But since she made it into an establishment where they quite pointedly sold alcohol, Eion peered at her again. Certainly still young. Certainly —
Part of the Negaverse. We need to talk after this, he added.

Character Name: René GastinneLocation: Bar Dice Roll: N/A Tonight René was here just to relax and have some fun, he was sure Aloysius wouldn't mind and he was here to enjoy the new venue with Alexandre and the few from their family who would be coming along as well. The job behind the bar was nice, cushy, and let him access anything he wanted to drink within reason. It wasn't a surprise at all when he heard Abby popping up for a moment at the bar and saying hello. He'd already gone through a few glasses of wine as he enjoyed the energy in the room. It was lively and maybe a bit too classy for him but something he couldn't deny fit the Sharps. "Enjoy it here Abby, just avoid the witch~ Mon ange settled things but she still might bite a bit~" More than a tease as he shook his head, he knew things were always interesting between the Evans and whoever they brought along with them. He'd avoided Melody like the plague she was even if there had been a truce with Alexandre fighting his battles again. It was a cushy life that he enjoyed now where any real conflict was handled by his petite ange. Seeing Shannon, one who he hadn't met personally before, he offered a smile as the glasses were deposited. "Good job, remind me to make you something special later Shannon~" Wiping his hands after washing them, he went back to making a few more drinks for those at the bar. Putting on a show here and there with how he poured and shook the drinks, he could see himself coming here maybe once in awhile, it was more likely he could get Alexandre to come here than a club.

Character Name: Rowan TrumoiaLocation: Main Stage Vicinity Rowan felt a twinge of embarrassment when the man began to sign. She’d long toyed with the idea of taking ASL classes and immediately regretted her procrastination on the matter, and her eagerness in pursuing Italian for her language requirements. As much as she loved the sound and cadence, it wasn’t a particularly practical language for everyday use. She maintained a carefully neutral expression, even as she felt her cheeks beginning to redden. She gave a slight shake of her head, wishing she’d brought some writing materials to help her communicate with him. She wondered if he could read lips and cast a glance Halia’s way before meeting the stranger’s eyes, making sure her lips were as visible as they could be in the low lighting. “I’m sorry, I don’t know sign language.” A wave of relief washed over her as another voice translated for them and she smiled in amusement at the stranger’s suggestion. She wasn’t about to drink something someone abandoned on a table, but she wasn’t about to judge him for taking the chance. “I think I’ll pass,” she turned toward the newcomer, “It’s nice to meet you both though. My name is Rowan.”

Character Name: Sakura Gojo, Corrupt Sailor AkoLocation: Lobby Dice Roll: 3, 8, 1 Sakura had no idea how to respond to the young girl throwing a flirt at her. Her mouth opened and closed a few times before it dawned on her. Brassite. Right. That made a lot of sense actually. She had never met anyone else with such a brash and charasmatic energy to them before. She gently placed a hand on Liam's shoulder and gave him a small smile before addressing Melody. "I should leave you to enjoy the night. It truly was lovely to meet you, though, and I hope we meet again." She smiled warmly at Liam and squeezed his shoulder lightly before going out onto the main floor, collecting discarded drinks to help out.

Character Name: Halia Westfein / Sailor ArunaLocation: Main stage Halia's smile faltered ever so slightly when Eion began to sign, but she didn't let that stop her. She pulled her phone out and opened the note app. "Sorry, I don't know ASL. Um. But... maybe typing in the Notes app might help? My name is Halia. Would you... like to get a drink with me?" The small burst of confidence was shaken easily as America came up, and she tried to make sense of what the girl just said. She had a feeling some of it was lost in translation but she smiled at the girl anyways. Eion. Somehow she really liked that name. She gave Rowan a reassuring smile, not wanting her friend to worry. She could do this. She could totally do this. Right?

Character Name: Sakura Gojo, Corrupt Sailor AkoLocation: Main Stage Dice Roll: 3, 8, 1, 9 It didn't take long for Sakura to busy herself with collecting the cups left discarded by patrons, dropping them off and grabbing a tray filled with water before heading back into the mingling of people. She spotted a small group of people, America being one of them, and smiled as she made her way over. The boy with the three girls was also wearing a pin, and she made note to ask later who that was. The other two girls both seemed to be patrons, and their dresses absolutely caught her eye. Once a fashion fanatic, always a fashion fanatic, it seemed. Not wanting to interrupt the more shy looking one, Sakura addressed her friend. "I hope this isn't me interrupting, but I wanted to tell you that your dress is lovely. And your hair and makeup are done perfectly to accentuate everything as well." She smiled warmly, recognizing her after a moment as the civilian she had saved from the snowman.

Character Name: Melody Sharp (Eternal Corrupt Aoede)Location: Lobby -> Staff Hidden Hallway Dice Roll: N/A Surprise would be an understatement as she watched things unfolding with the redhead nearby. It left her a bit stunned before she focused back in on Sakura and Liam. She noticed more pins floating around and really, she did wonder if Aloysius was in his right mind when choosing people to join because she was sure at least a few of them weren't old enough to drink. Maybe that was why he'd pushed back against her ideas of a larger bar and more plans relating to that front. With a shake of her head, she waved them all off. "A pleasure to meet you, I'm sure we'll meet again soon and if you want to come here let me or Aloysius know. I'm confident there will always be a need for some extra hands around here." She was already planning a few other things, some less flashy than this but she was pleased with the turnout so far of workers and customers. With an extra wave at Liam, she snuck off to dip back into one of the halls for a breather. Pulling her mirror out, she adjusted her makeup slightly and teased some of the loose wavy strands of hair back out of her face. With how focused she was, she didn't pay any mind to the other people traversing the halls with stacks of cups. She knew they were bringing them back to the storage room before they'd be transported out for the night. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Character Name: Desiree Staff Hidden Halways-> Lobby -> Main floor Dice Roll: N/A Noticing someone who was all too familiar, Desiree seethed for a moment before dipping around a corner. There were more than a few things she wanted to say to the woman fixing their makeup but she knew Liam would not be pleased. With a sigh she left her hiding space in the hallway and stepped out towards the lobby, knowing Liam was probably around there. A little more relief came with the sight of the blonde, seeing him sending a message which she assumed was a warning about Melody moving to the hallways. "I already saw her and I promise I was nice." Seeing Sakura, he poor mood did slightly improve and she followed the woman along and helped out where she could. "What do you think so far?" Chatting idly as she watched people pass by and move around the main stage. The singer for tonight had more of that lounge feel to it, reminding her of some of the music she'd head play when students came for lessons at the townhome.

Character Name: Sakura Gojo, Corrupt Sailor AkoLocation: Main Stage Dice Roll: 3, 8, 1, 9, 5 Before the girl could respond, Sakura's eyes lit up at the sound of a familiar voice. "Please excuse me for just one moment. I do absolutely need to know where you got that dress. It's genuinely lovely."Turning, she smiled brightly at Des. "It's incredible. Everyone did such a good job, Des." She was clearly delighted at just how well everything was going. She lowered her voice then, so only Desiree could hear her. "I just met Melody, by the way. Intense presence with that one. Remind me to always be on top of my game around her please." She spared a glance at the four people behind her before speaking agian. "I recognize the girl, and I know the other two girls are civs, or at least not any of ours. Any idea who the boy is?" Her eyes lingered on Eion for just a brief moment, glancing at the pin he wore that matched hers and the rest of the staff.

Character Name: America Jhones / BrassiteLocation: Main Stage Vicinity Dice Roll: 6, 6, 5, 3, 8 Too old. America signed with a little grin, adding, No perverts. It was funny, though, how the boy couldn't help but draw in girls he didn't have much interest in. The shock of seeing that they were coworkers was quickly replaced by delight. Enough that she didn't even tease Eion over the shyer girl making hopeful eyes at him. Maybe he wasn't the best of targets, but he was a pretty safe one at least. Well. Maybe not. Was he the starseeding sort of coworker or a gentle draining sort? America sipped her sweet tea and waggled her eyebrows at the shy Halia even as Sakura approached the other girl, Miss Des close behind. Those two together...well, she'd just keep an eye out in case they started a bar fight or something. "Pleased to meet you, Miss Halia. Were you offering drinks? Well, Eion's old enough for the real deal and likes it spicy, but I'll just have to settle for this non-alcoholic stuff and my youthful good looks." As if the girl had also offered to buy her a drink as well.
