005 ✽ We be all night

Who: The willing from Pride and Virgo
What: Want to know what party sucked? The solstice party. Want to know what party won't suck? Luci and Luce's.
When: Jan 8th
Where: The basement of the club Blue Heist
Warnings: None planned besides possible/probably intoxication

A little while after the disaster at Naomi's, those who had attended might find themselves approached- by Luce on Virgo's side, by Luci on Pride's, or perhaps by someone who had heard about it from either of them. The subject of conversation?

Another party. One that involves another mingle of both labels, without being used for any ulterior motives.

Those who seem up to it are given a time and place. Blue Heist is one of the clubs around town that has what could be called a "basement level", for private renting and parties available to anyone who has the cash to spend on it. It's a pretty simple set up, nothing extravagant like the party at Naomi's... Which is absolutely on purpose, let no one tell you otherwise. There's a reason any mics or karaoke equipment has been pointedly removed. All the music is on the system already.

Nope, tonight it's just dancing and drinking, with a couple of rooms to the side that have cheesy movies playing in case you're tired out. No closed doors, no poison at the bar, no murder.

And if you want to take a moment to maybe have a talk to someone on the opposite label to discuss or apologize for the events of the prior night... That's fine too.

Just be careful. Both labels are still under watch, it seems, with a few bodyguards from both sides around the perimeter here and there.

"I won't say I'm not pleased I have such a high spot on the infamous Lucifer's list." With her own grace, Luce follows right behind and glances over at the other woman with no little curiosity.

"So just what dance were you thinking of? Or are we making things up as we go?"

"Oh you just leave that to me," Luci says, turning and assuming a waltz position with Luce. Obviously, she's positioned to lead.

She's a pretty okay waltzer, actually, and the pace is pretty upbeat for this particular song. Before long, Luci is directing Luce to the center of the floor-- perhaps for a little bit of inter-label propaganda.

"How's that for making things up as we go?"

The waltz is a familiar thing to Luce, something that seems nostalgic, and she adjusts smoothly in step with Luci once she recognizes the steps. Never one to hide her happiness, she nearly glows as the pair of them sweep out towards the middle.

"So classy. I was expecting something wilder from you."

"Well I could be a little wild, but I think our fellow musicians are watching..." Luci grins, pulling Luce into a dip. It could be just in good fun, could be just Luci being Luci, could be her suggesting something...

Letting herself flow with the dip, Luce grins at all the different meanings behind her partner's words. "You certainly know how to hook in a girl's curiosity for how you'd be wild with no one else watching," she giggles as she comes back up. "It's very hard to resist."

"I usually make very convincing arguments when I'm interested," Luci mutters close to Luce' ear before straightening them up. "But I can be told to pump the brakes and be perfectly happy, if that were to happen. The CarnieIndulgence hivemind tells me you're seeing someone."

"Word does get around fast in that hivemind of yours, doesn't it?" More than anything, Luce is amused as she keeps dancing. The Carnindulgence is real. "It's Koumei, in fact, although don't tell." A wink. "I'd rather not him end up like an actual Romeo."

"Aw, so I can't get your boyfriend bumped off and then swiftly step in to console the mourning girlfriend?"

That innocent suggestion is coupled with a little spin.

Things that are probably inappropriate to laugh at: that.

Things Luce laughs at as she's spun around: exactly that.

"And ruin your allegiance? I didn't think I was that attractive to you. Clearly I haven't been giving myself enough credit."

"I know a guy who knows a guy who is good with accidents." Things she shouldn't joke about: bumping off Koumei via 'accidents'. But, eh, he probably knows she's just ~~flirting~~ kidding around with his girlfriend.

"But even if I had to duel him at midnight with sabers, I'd accept that risk for your favor, darling." Luci grins and that's all the warning Luce gets before she's picking the other up bridal-style and and turning her once before letting her down again.

Another whup of laughter- from the suggestion or the way Luci suddenly picks her up. It's been ages since someone swung her about so freely. It's a lot more fun than she thinks she remembers it being.

"I vote a duel, darling. Make sure to make it happen where I can see it, or I won't be able to swoon into the victor's arms."

"You have my word. I'll go find my gloves and throw one in Koumei's face. We'll meet at dawn, I'll dispatch the scruffy narcoleptic, and I'll carry you off to a sweet, sweet Motel 6 for a night of swooning."

"Be gentle with him." The giggling has stopped for a moment, but she still manages to pat Luci's cheek with a teasing grin. "Yan seems to think there are birds nesting in his hair, and if that's true, I don't want to be the cause of bird murder."

"Oh, sweet little birds? No harm will come to them, I couldn't bear to see you distressed by bird murder," Luci turns her head and kisses Luce's fingers. "I'll be gentle with him too. Can't burn the Cosmic Indulgence bridge, after all."

"It won't be hard," she hums, tapping her fingers lightly against Luci's lips. "He goes down at strong enough breezes, poor dear. But he's so very pretty in that disheveled way."

Oh, clearly if she's tapping her fingers on Luci's lips, she wants more, right? Luci takes Luce's hand with a bit of a graceful flourish and starts putting kisses on her knuckles and the back of her hand. This is going quite well, actually, who would have thought she'd leave tonight with Luce as a prospect.

"Whatever does it for you, darling. You can have him when you want someone to faint for you, and me when you want someone to make you faint."

Oh my. Eyes slimming in curious amusement, Luce extends her hand and allows her current dancing partner free reign. Just to see what happens, of course. She can't help herself.

"So my delicate prince, and the reigning Prince of Hell, is that it? I have quite a court at my fingertips." Literally, with the lip service Luci is providing.

Free reign means Luci doesn't just stop at the back of Luce's hand. She's kissing her palm, the underside of her wrist, higher...

"I never put it past you to build such an empire, darling."

Oh, sorry, is she supposed to be stopping this? Because Luce isn't. She's only grinning and watching.

"And are you sure your bandmates won't mind me stealing you away for this little empire of mine?"

Oh no, she's definitely not supposed to be stopping this. Luci has her ego, and a high opinion of her seduction technique. Also she's having fun, and stopping it would definitely put a damper on her mood.

"Stealing, yes. Borrowing... well, I let metal borrow Xanxus whenever it calls to him, I don't think he can complain."

Does Luci have a Yelp business page? Because Luce is more than happy to rate this seduction experience highly. As if her smile doesn't make that obvious.

"Oh, his one true love, is that it? Good to know. That's bribe material, I should think."

She probably should with the number of people who go through her seduction experience. Luci runs out of arm and just goes straight for the neck next.

"No, no... I never bribe anyone because they love something or someone, that's just a dick move. I'd much rather have them come willingly," she grins, wrapping her arm around Luce's waist a little tighter.

Daring, to go right for the neck. It's a good thing Luci has her arm around her waist, because Luce might just swoon.

"Oh no, you'll just duel them instead." Softly, her shoulders are shaking from holding in her laughter. This is by far more than enough to make up for the Solstice party.

Luci is nothing if not incorrigible. And works hard to make people swoon.

"It's a respectable alternative. No knavery involved, just good, old-fashioned fisticuffs for a worthy lady," she says, nosing around Luce's ear. "Like yourself."

"Oh, I'm sure it'll be quite a sight. But for now-" And this is when she has to press her fingers oh-so-daintily against Luci's cheeks to nudge her away. Luce winks playfully.

"You'll have to win your duel before you woo me any further."
