Party like it's 1999 [Action]

[hisfavoriteson]

The flyers had gone up a couple of days ago, all over every city, and even posted on the network, advertising a party at a location through a subarchway in Nova City, a place just labeled LUX. Adding to the mystery is the fact that the party is hosted by a man named Lucifer Morningstar.

Following the instructions in the flyer leads to a subarchway to Los Angeles, which contains a building, the lower level of which is a nightclub. The entrance door leads to a platform overlooking the club's floor, which is reached by a set of stairs. The whole interior has an industrial look to it, including the well-stocked bar. Anyone who's uncertain about where they've found themselves can see a sign with the club's name by the bar.

The host himself flits around the room, mingling at the bar, moving from guest to guest, even sitting at the piano to play and sing. When he's not performing, there's music coming from the speakers, for anyone who might want to dance.

There's no cover charge, and not even a charge for drinks from the bar. This is just a social opportunity. Come on over and have some fun!

[ooc: There's also an elevator off of the entrance platform, with nothing marked on it that says where it goes. It leads to the penthouse. Let me know if your character sneaks up there.]

Aurora wouldn't really be the sort to come to this sort of thing (mostly because she has no idea what a club even is), but one of the agents at the talent agency insisted she go and try and just network.... whatever networking meant. Although, her agent also said not to mention she was 16 and if anyone DID ask, to say she was "old enough" (the agents had learned early on not to try and make Aurora lie).

But Aurora herself sticks out like a sore thumb, not at all appropriately dressed for a club and is instead dressed for something much more formal.

Still, she was wandering around the club and paused and offered a smile to the person next to her.

"Are you familiar with places like this?"

[hisfavoriteson]

The person she addresses just happens to be the host of the party, the owner of the business that at home is a nightclub but here is just a large venue for social gatherings.

"Very familiar. This place is mine."

[beautyrest]

"Oh! Forgive me, a pleasure to meet you then, sir," she offered. "I was not aware I was conversing with the owner." Even Aurora has to admit he was incredibly handsome as well, almost as handsome as her peasant boy. She hoped Prince Phillip could be just as handsome.

"It is a lovely club, though I admit to lack of experience with many, or any for that matter."

[hisfavoriteson]

"I put a lot of work into it." Well, a lot of work into decorating it after turning it from a fight club into a nightclub, anyway. He's been more hands-off since then, leaving the day-to-day things to his staff, but socializing like he does is just as important, because it gets people to keep coming back. "If you don't normally visit places like this, why did you decide to come to this one?"

[beautyrest]

"Well, I've never been to one before, such things do not exist where I'm from. So I had no reason not to at least explore a little. I'm trying, little by little, to become more acquainted with this world and those within it. Parties tend to be a place you can meet people, after all."

[hisfavoriteson]

"Parties are an excellent way to meet people. I've met a good many people that way." He doesn't keep in touch with most of them afterwards, but that's a different topic. "Speaking of which." He extends his hand, to make their introduction official. "Lucifer Morningstar."

[beautyrest]

Being from a non-religious household, specifically, one where she was raised by fairies, Aurora did not recognize the name.

"A pleasure, Mr. Morningstar. I am Princess Aurora. Thank you for having all of us here." She takes his hand, having learned handshakes were the main method of greeting here.

[hisfavoriteson]

She might not recognize his name, but he recognizes hers. "Princess Aurora, really? From the stories?"

It hasn't crossed his mind that maybe she doesn't know about those.

[beautyrest]

"Stories?" well, she supposed being a cursed princess was bound to spread across the kingdom. "I'm not sure what you have heard about me, hopefully, nothing too unflattering," she offered good-naturedly.

[hisfavoriteson]

"Not at all." The things that had happened to get hadn't been her fault, after all. "Just be careful of spindles."

[beautyrest]

Ah... that. She blushes a bit, though lets out a soft sigh.

"Your warning comes too late, I'm afraid. I have already completed the curse that Maleficent set upon me."

[hisfavoriteson]

"Then I suppose you have good things to look forward to." Assuming they're the kind of things she wants to happen, anyway. If not, then they're not such good things.

Was there an age limit to this party? Hopefully not. Bars had alcohol and it tended to be a place where you could get something illicit and a little bit harder than alcohol, and Sean needed a release.

So he would arrive and attempt to smile and just walk in. Sixteen was practically an adult anyway, they probably would check ID in a world he just got to, would they?

[hisfavoriteson]

There are a couple of factors working in Sean's favor here. First, while Lux is technically a bar, here in Genessia it's really just an extension of a private residence, and the owner's just having a party that anyone who wants to can attend. Second, the party's host really doesn't care that much for rules. So it's possible for anyone to just walk right in.

The host is lounging in one of the curved seats, so he has a good view of the entrance. "Come in. Help yourself. Enjoy."

[eldiazblo]

"Hey thanks."

Sean figured that walking in like he belonged would work and that seemed to be a good plan in the end. Score!

It wasn't like there was anyone around who would tell him otherwise, so he decided to go up and find a beer. He probably wouldn't get wasted, but more relaxed would be nice.

[hisfavoriteson]

"Just don't let her see you." He points out a blond woman nearby. "She cares about rules more than I do." He doesn't really see the point in following them, but for him, there really isn't such a thing as permanent consequences unless his father's involved.

Not that he knows if there are any rules that apply in this case. He doesn't much care.

[eldiazblo]

"I don't know why she'd care about what rules I follow, she's not my mother." Sean grumbled slightly but he nodded.

"I'll stay out of her way then."

[hisfavoriteson]

"She works for the police. They tend to care about rules." Even when she's not working. At least she's not surprised anymore when he doesn't care about the rules.

[eldiazblo]

"Shit, really?" Sean held up his hands a little bit. "Sorry, I've gotta go."

[hisfavoriteson]

"It will be fine. Just don't let her see you, and if she does, I'll deal with it."

Chloe knows to expect certain things of him by now anyway.

[eldiazblo]

"Nah man, I don't do cops."

There was probably a story there, but it was true, Sean couldn't tolerate being caught out.

[hisfavoriteson]

"A lot of people don't." Generally because they're doing something they shouldn't. "Have you done something you should be punished for?"

Choice 1

Ten is for sure doing his drunk giraffe dance sober on the dance floor. Maybe come and join him?

Choice 2

When the piano is free; The Doctor himself is playing and singing a tune

Choice 3

Ten does notice the elevator isn't marked and can't help but wonder where that goes.

He finds it entertaining to watch other people dance, whether drunk or sober. He doesn't even mind other people using the piano. But one thing he doesn't tolerate is strangers poking around his penthouse when he's not there.

So only a few moments after Ten makes it upstairs and finds himself in the penthouse, the elevator doors open again and Lucifer follows him in. "Can I help you?"
