[ OPEN ] it's summer time and I hang on a vine

[black_black_heart]

Who: Tannusen and/or whoever!
Where: Genessia City - Velvet Lust (Please read that link if you're gonna tag in!)
What:

There was no lead-up, no early announcements. It was just one unremarkable night, and then... every patron or staff member alike who came downstairs from the club floor had donned a banana costume. Some had willingly put them on, and others had been forcibly stuffed into their bright yellow peels.

Bananas mingled among the downstairs patrons, some going back up, others going outside to mill around with their friends both banana'd and not. Maybe they were talking them into going upstairs? Or maybe they were warning them that Wade had been given an Extra Special Assignment...

Either way, the party upstairs was sure to be extra wild tonight. And full of potassium.

(Tag each other! Tag me! Tag Wade! This isn't an open Tannusen post so much as it's an open Velvet Lust post. Enjoy!)

(Feel free to assume the costume is magically stuck on until sunrise if you want!)

DRESS CODE ENFORCER

[fukkinawesome]

[And yes, yep, there's Wade, standing guard near the entrance to the actual club part. No one inside the bar was even harassed.

But the second someone set foot on the club floor?

Descended upon from above by a very festively dressed Wade Wilson.

There's a dress code up here, frendo.]

ALL ARE BANANA.

I work here. Why do I have to put up with this ridiculous costume?

[He's already wearing it, if only because Kay's amazed that Wade found one big enough for him.] This is going to hinder my movements if there's an issue that needs punching.

COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT (or whatever you wanna do, rofl)

[black_black_heart]

And, of course, even Tannusen was in full banana mode wherever he was in the club at the moment. His usual booth, or at the bar, or anywhere in between. If he caught anyone trying to get out of their banana costume upstairs, a flicker of glamour from the Faerie made the bright yellow outfit stick.

[feckinboomstick]

Yes, someone has a complaint.

Tannusen, of all people, will know the sound of that screaming. It's not scared. No sir, not by a longshot.

That is abject rage and most of it is in Irish or Latin.

Fun fun!

He's not visible, no, not yet, there's a small gaggle that's gathered around the source of the noise, Wade darting away as quickly as he came in with gleeful, somewhat overdone evil cackles.

[black_black_heart]

A sensible man would flee the sound of their enraged fiance who they'd just had stuffed into a banana costume. Tannusen? Tannusen wasn't gonna miss this for the world, thanks. He slipped past the little crowd of people, grinning. "Look at that! You can wear a color!" Tannusen no.

[feckinboomstick]

There he is.

The smallest, angriest banana in the club. He's shaking he's so goddamn mad, it's pretty clear why Wade fucked off so fast.

Now chances were he would have just yelled at Tannusen, had he popped up.

But then he popped up and said something. Now it's personal.

With an inarticulate, garbled yell of Irish and English, the smaller man hurls himself at Tannusen.

BANANA ATTACK.

[black_black_heart]

FRUIT ON FRUIT VIOLENCE! And not just because they're engaged. Tannusen most likely could have side-stepped this, or at least remained upright, but nah. Nah, he took the tackle and toppled, dragging Cassian with and laughing like a maniac so loudly it carried over all the considerable noise in the club. "You're the prettiest little banana I've ever seen!" TANNU, STOP.

[feckinboomstick]

NO HOW DARE YOU.

Cassian is, of course, easy to yank down, tugging at Tannusen's STUPID FUCKING banana suit.

He never hit him, naturally, it wasn't that serious.

But it was serious enough to warrant calling him a 'hell blasted demon cat' and 'the house pet of the devil himself'.

Still shaking, still yelling, but it's gotten to the point where it's vehemence and tremble in his tone suggests he's trying very, very, very hard... not to laugh.

STOP LAUGHING, TANNUSEN.

[black_black_heart]

It's apparently a very cheap banana costume over his jeans and t-shirt, and the material is kinda stretchy and thin... but it somehow doesn't tear? Glamour at work, no doubt. "Cassian! I'm shocked!" Still. Laughing. "When were you going to tell me that you're the devil?" Because we all know whose cat he is. Kinda blew your cover when you proposed to him with a super obviously-Irish ring, you dummy. "The priest thing is a nice touch!" Give in to the lols, Cass, you're marrying a bloody pooka. You're doomed.

[Going upstairs had been a mistake. No, coming here at all tonight had been a mistake. That’s what you get for trying to be a good boyfriend and pick up your partner from work. Nothing had prepared him for being assaulted with the yellow monstrosity the moment he walked upstairs in search of Kay.]

Take it off!

[Because barking orders is going to look scary when you are a banana.]

[feckinboomstick]

[Banana!Cass, meet Priest!Cass, the banana, who has finally torn himself away from his giggling fiance in favor of stalking around the club area to try and get back down to the bar, where the stupid fucking banana suit won't stick.

He's not hard to miss, he's the banana with white hair hitting five foot five, and he's more or less storming right at the second Cassian in a wild attempt to get back downstairs. INCOMING.]

[captain_by_the_book]

[Oh, this is not going to be a happy collision. Not happy at all. Distracted as he is with his new clumsy attire, Cassian doesn't even notice the incoming projectile in time to avoid it.]

Oof! Watch out where you're going!

[He shoots him a glower, from sour banana to sour banana.]

[feckinboomstick]

[Smaller as he is, he stumbles back purely out of disproportionate weight and momentum.

Don't worry.

It won't last]

Ye watch where you're feckin' steppin' first, takes two!

[captain_by_the_book]

Or maybe you should be using your eyes!

[Yeah, he's not in the mood to be on his best behavior. Or second best. Or any kind of good behavior at all.]

[k2so]

You look ridiculous.

[Hi Cassian, Have some supportive words from your significant other...who is also sporting a banana costume.]

Can I take a picture?

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Here, have a glare from your significant other. ]

You can... if you want me to reprogram you into a robot chicken.

[k2so]

[That fails to carry the usual heat and intimidation factor, that with the banana costume.]

Now, no touching my ports in public. There's a room upstairs for that, I think, but I'm still on the clock.

[captain_by_the_book]

We are not...

[He snaps his mouth shut, and stalks past Kay with an annoyed snort - that's one very sour little banana now.]

You can keep your wishful thinking to yourself. Why don't you tell me how to make it come off instead.

[k2so]

Cassian, don't be sour, it was just a joke. I think the costume makes you very appeeling!

[So, he has started with the puns. Maybe Kay spends too much time near Deadpool and Tannusen.]

You can take it off in a few. One hour at most? Today's a special night.

[melodiouspacifist]

He hadn't been to the bar before, in fact, he hadn't been to a bar before, but it sounded like fun. There was music, loud music and that alone was a draw. The costume was pretty silly, but he could get behind something that ridiculous.

Demyx was happy enough to wander the downstairs and the upstairs because it was so glittery. He purchased a drink, something sweet, fruity and frozen and sipped it. It was really good, and wasn't very strong tasting. If he lost track of what he was drinking he could get really drunk.

He was in for a fun night, hopefully meeting new people.

[black_black_heart]

"Well, at least someone doesn't seem pissed about the costumes," and there's Tannusen, also in a cheap banana costume like everyone else who'd gone upstairs at any point. "And not someone I've seen around here before."

The regulars, well, most of them knew to expect weird shit at this place, even if the costumes were a new touch.

[melodiouspacifist]

"Oh, uh, should I be?" He offered a charming little smile and shrugged. "It seems okay, it's not uncomfortable or anything. Weird, sure."

No, he didn't think he recognized the other man so he offered his gloved hand. "I'm Demyx."

[black_black_heart]

"Nah, just a lot of people are a lot less easygoing about it. But I'm of the opinion that a dose of weird here and there is a good thing," Tannusen himself didn't wear gloves much these days, so the hand he shook Demyx's with was bare save for the claddagh on the ring finger. The skin of that hand was shiny with scarring, most of it fresh, curling on up his arm. Burns.

"I'm Tannusen. Are you new in Genessia or just new to Velvet?"

[melodiouspacifist]

"I don't find anything too weird. It's just a costume." Demyx chuckled. He noticed the burns, but didn't comment on them.

"Pretty new in Genessia, I think, but I've never been here, yeah." He grinned and sipped his drink. "So far it's pretty good!"

[black_black_heart]

"Well, I'm glad you approve." Tannusen's other hand was holding a mug of dark tea; a little odd in a bar, maybe, but it was what it was. "The name scares off a great many boring people, as it's meant to do. Anyone you encounter in these walls is likely to be at least slightly less banal than the rest. Andor aside."

Look, every system had its hiccups.
