Axel's Heartday Party

[mogget_cat]

The door from Milliways connects to the entrance to a large dance club, lit in varying shades of greens, blues, reds and oranges. The ceiling is high and black, decorated with hanging swaths of vividly-colored fabric. A black bar with a line of matching barstools lines one wall, lit from above by candles, from below by colored lights hidden under the rim of the bar itself. It is certainly well-stocked with many types of alcohol, and with actual bartenders to dispense it.

Down a short, central stairway the room opens up into the main dance floor, the walls and floor lit from within by ever-shifting colors, as well as light streaming down from the lights near the high ceiling, co-ordinated to match the current colors of the floor and walls. To the right of the entrance are various sitting areas of couches and comfortable chairs, all lit by a combination of candle-light and the light from the colored wall-panels.

The night is young, the music is playing, and the party's just getting started.

(ooc: Party post! Mingle, thread-hop, have a good time! This post is open for as long as people want it to be, i.e. forever. ^__^!)

(ooc2: Azy says that if Axel abruptly disappears, it's because she's on satellite internet and there's a storm going on where she is. The interference might cut out her internet connection.)

Greeting

[killitwithfire]

Axel's here, duh, it's his party, even he hadn't planned on it.

Come say hi to the birthday heartday boy?

Re: Greeting

[mogget_cat]

Yrael's certainly there, grinning and possibly looking a bit smug at Axel.

"Warm enough?" Silly question.

Re: Greeting

[killitwithfire]

Axel grins back.

"Yeah," he replies. "This is nice."

Re: Greeting

[mogget_cat]

"Glad you like it. We should come back again sometime. I'll be doing some gigs here this spring," Yrael grins. "You can show off to people who don't know to expect you to out-dance them."

Re: Greeting

[gorgonfondness]

Like Mia was going to miss this.

She almost did, considering the club clothes that she had to choose from were questionable at best. Fortunately, she was able to find a fairly modest green cocktail dress. Still slim, short, and sexy, though.

"If it isn't tonight's honored guest," she says, giving him a hug.

Re: Greeting

[killitwithfire]

Axel returns the hug, and grins at her.

"Mia."

Re: Greeting

[gorgonfondness]

"Here, got you something," she says, holding up a bottle. "Pepperup Potion. It makes my ears steam for hours, so I'm sure you'll enjoy it."

Re: Greeting

[dancewaterdance]

Demyx is there, of course. He doesn't like Yrael, but they at least have the common ground of liking Axel so he can be civil for today.

Demyx kisses Axel when he sees him... Axel's friends don't care about their relationship, after all.

"Your present is gonna have to wait until later."

Re: Greeting

[killitwithfire]

Axel returns the kiss, and grins.

"I burn in anticipation."

Re: Greeting

[dancewaterdance]

Demyx makes a "Pbth." sound and sticks out his tongue at Axel. "You burn anyway."

He's not wearing the coat or gloves again, though the boots look a bit familiar under the tight jeans and bleeding heart t-shirt.

Re: Greeting

[ostro_goth]

Teja steps through and stops, amazed.

He has been to New Orleans before, to hear Yrael play, and to buy his own guitar -- but this is unlike anything he has ever known. Both music and lights are utterly unlike anything he knows.

Surely, not even Rome in its heyday has known such displays!

Re: Greeting

[licensed-pro.livejournal.com]

Charlie just smiled at Teja; more specifically the look on his face. "Surely you've been in a nightclub before."

With his hands in pockets, he's leaning a hip against the wall, idly surveying the rest of the club. Looks moderately similar to a few he's been to. "Come on."

Re: Greeting

[ostro_goth]

Teja is still standing where he was, and making sense of what he sees and hears. Has this place been made to stun and confuse?

"Not in one like this," he says. He has to speak a bit louder than usually, to be heard.

Re: Greeting

[mogget_cat]

Yrael, from near the bar, laughs at the look on Teja's face as he approaches the two of them.

"You get used to it after a while," he says, calling above the music. "Honest."

Re: Greeting

[killitwithfire]

"Teja!"

Axel grins, and waves from over near the bar.

Drinks

[mogget_cat]

Partying is thirsty work. Lucky for everyone, there's a fully-stocked bar along one wall of the club. It may not have Atlantean, and the bar may not be sentient, but it does have something you'll never see in Milliways:

A full staff of bartenders, waiting to make you a drink or three.

Re: Drinks

[dancewaterdance]

"Something blue!" Demyx calls, leaning against the bar but not taking a seat for now.

Re: Drinks

[mogget_cat]

"Something blue?" Alex, the bartender, glances at his friend Steven down the bar before offering the patron a smile and a greeting. Either that was an open-ended order or a specific drink. He'll take it to be both.

Alex reaches for the Hpnotiq and a champagne flute, swiftly measuring the ingredients before setting the glass on an Ampersand napkin on the bar.

"There you go," he grins. "Something Blue."

Re: Drinks

[gorgonfondness]

Mia is only marginally familiar with Earth drinks, but that's not going to stop her from ordering one.

She takes a seat, smooths out her skirt, and waits patiently for a bartender to get to her.

She's not going to interrupt such important work as getting drinks for people for her little old needs! =o

Dancing

[killitwithfire]

Later - or maybe right now - there is dancing. The DJ keeps the music lively and varied, and there's plenty of room on the floor.

Axel is certainly dancing; are you?

Re: Dancing

[gorgonfondness]

Of course Mia is going to dance.

She might have to see if she can talk Axel into leading, though. Much like they did back on that memorable Mardi Gras.

"I'm not really used to this sort of dancing," she admits over the music.

Re: Dancing

[killitwithfire]

"That's okay," he says, taking her hand, and swinging her around. "Mostly, you just move to the beat."

Mingling

[mogget_cat]

Even aside from the dance floor, there's plenty of room to move around and meet people. Across from the bar is an elevated area with a multitude of comfortable couches and tables, perfect for a rest after dancing, for enjoying one's drink with friends, or even making new friends.

Re: Mingling

[mogget_cat]

Yrael has claimed a spot on one of the couches, the panel in the nearby wall washing his white clothes a bright green.

Re: Mingling

[killitwithfire]

Axel slouches into the couch next to Yrael's, in a rare break from his dancing.
