wonder whose arms will hold you tight

Who: EVERYONE'S INVITED
What: Maxxie's Super Amazing and Truly Spectacular New Year's Eve Party
When: Dec 31st - Jan 1st
Where: One of Vista City's most decadent night clubs, æther
Warnings: Mentions of alcohol, drugs, sex, all that good rock 'n roll stuff. If there's going to be anything else just throw it in the header or let me know and I'll add it!




The night club Maxxie rents out is in the heart of the downtown, sticking out like a sore thumb with its front entrance looking more like a museum than a club. There's a red carpet leading up the steps, with bodyguards littered about to keep the paparazzi and troublemakers at arm's length. No one with a recognizable face will be turned away from entering the club, and even through the giant, heavy doors there's a distinct baseline and a hint of flashing lights from the dance floor.

Said dance floor is the first step once you're inside. After an extravagant coat check and quick access to the downstairs bar, there's a wide open dance floor with the DJ on stage at the opposite end. There are bodyguards lining the walls, of course - after Naomi's stunt at the solstice party there's no losing them - but there's only one rule at this party: absolutely no one is to touch the mic except for the DJ and Maxxie. The music all night is a blend of genres, but every song is appropriate to dance to. Obviously there are some Flashstep songs thrown in for good measure, but rest assured that every band will probably hear their music in some form or another, whether it's the song itself or a remix to make it a bit more suitable for the mood of the party.

On the two upper levels there are balconies overlooking the dance floor, and it's a bit quieter up here due to some innovative architecture. One may actually be able to have a conversation in the comfortable lounge, and there's another bar here with a few more options for mixed drinks. It's a place to rest up, have a few drinks, and enjoy the music at a more reasonable volume before you head back out to the party. There's even waitstaff floating around making sure everyone has anything they want, and as always the bodyguards are hanging out at the edges of the space to make sure no one starts any trouble.

Finally, there's an entrance to an outdoor balcony on the top level, high enough up to get a nice view of downtown and still be sheltered from the nosy paparazzi down on the street. The temperature has dropped with the arrival of winter, but it's a calm, clear night in Vista city and the alcohol should be enough to keep you warm.

The bars are fully stocked with a few thousand dollars worth of alcohol to keep everyone properly buzzed, and there are a few dealers floating around upstairs ready to sell anything to anyone with a charming smile. The host himself will be bouncing around, enjoying himself as if it was all catered specifically to his idea of the perfect party (it was) and saying hi to anyone and everyone.

[OOC: This is party style! Throw up a toplevel and get tagging! You can get up to any shenanigans you want, but please keep in mind the bodyguards are plentiful and on high alert since the solstice party. Maxxie has, of course, tried and failed to get them to join in on the fun, but they don't seem too overbearing unless trouble starts brewing. The Countdown is here, but please continue making toplevels and threading pre- and post-countdown shenanigans!]

Yeah, Kido still feels like that's a threat. She's very confused about this conversation.

"Look, before we keep talking. Are you here to kill me or not?" Because like part of her wouldn't doubt it. They haven't even met before tonight and she's just. Not gonna trust any Carnie ever.

Weird around HQ isn't something that she's going to deny. There's been weird going on in HQ since she got back, and she's pretty sure of it. She's not about to forget that machine Lesedi put her in, or the way Lesedi asked her about her weird visions specifically. She can only assume those are dangerous. And even talking about them is probably dangerous, too.

She laughs outright at this and a smile grows across her face that is probably more than just a little disconcerting.

"Kido. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have let myself be seen talking to you." She looks FAR too chipper about this, and she says this very matter of fact, like it's that simple. To her, it probably is. In fact, she never flat out denies that she would think about killing someone, which is probably even more concerning. "Especially not in public."

"Whatever's going on with you and Xan, that's you. I just like to know the people the tabloids say I'm sleeping with."

She shrugs.

She lets herself relax, then. She's pretty trusting, so she doesn't expect to get murdered now. "I don't have any issues with anybody but him. Being pissed off all the time is exhausting." She's not going to get mad unless she has to, really. And hurting Tiger was unforgivable.

"I don't need anyone else after my head." So yeah, please don't try to kill her.

"It is, yeah. I don't know how people do it." Yuffie is all too willing to follow her train of thought. "If you're angry all the time I think you'd get a headache, or wrinkles or something."

A beat as Yuffie thinks.

"And it'd get pretty boring, if you ask me."

Then Yuffie looks at Kido intently for a moment and she holds out a hand to Kido, pinkie out.

"Promise I'm not after your head." Pinkie promises are law, okay?

She responds almost instantly. One of the side effects of living with kids--she's instantly prepared to accept that.

"Promise I won't break into your penthouse again. So long as he doesn't sell anymore pictures of me to the damn press."

"Deal." She says and shakes her hand once their pinkies have locked.

"If he does that, why don't you let me know?" She pauses, pointing from Kido to herself. "I should be able to shake down a tabloid or two. I've got lots of them in my pocket."

"We're all Pride. The infighting's stupid."

Really? She does believe that. But if Kido gets too much attention for her eyes, someone is going to do something stupid, and then Luci could get caught as well, and she protects her own.

"And I've promised. I'm not gonna be a jerk about it. I clean up after Xan a lot."

"Not as stupid when somebody you care about gets threatened." She won't fight if she doesn't have to. But when it comes to her band, she'll go down fighting.

"I don't get why you bother. He never learns. You're just making it okay."
cleartranquil: (Happy: Bittersweet)

[personal profile] cleartranquil 2016-01-19 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
"The way I see it, we've got the same reason." Yuffie shrugs. "Protecting the people we care about."

She smiles again, and it's not apologetic in the slightest.

"Just cause you don't get him, doesn't mean I don't. He's...."

Yuffie pauses, trying to come up with the words, and only managing to hear her own voice reflected back at her in her head.

I still want it!! This an' that an' everything... MINE! And I'm never gonna give any up!!

She closes her eyes for a moment as the green fades from behind her eyes and she turns to look at Kido again.

"He's mine. That's what's important."

Normally, she'd retort something about her band being hers but. She recognizes that pause, she thinks. Maybe? It's familiar, one she sees a lot.

"Just keep him away from Tiger."

That's literally all that matters to her.

"You got it." Yuffie shrugs, and grins. "I mean I can't promise, but it's not like I want the kid hurt. I'll keep an eye out."

She pauses, and then directs that grin at Kido a little more obviously.

"You know, if the tabloids have to decide I'm randomly hooking up with someone, you're not a half bad choice."

And now, Yuffie's decided to tease, just because she can.

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2016-01-21 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no, Yuffie don't do that. Kido's been drinking. She blushes and turns away clearing her throat. "T-thanks I guess?"
