005 ✽ We be all night

[giglio_madonna]

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.

"Well that's a pretty shitty reason." Not that that much needs to be said but the annoyed vehemence that comes with it may be either surprising or entertaining, considering how apathetic and snarky this ice queen seems to be.

"And I suspect a personal one. Did you notice, at any point, that the executives appear particularly hostile to each other? Beyond any professional rivalry." And even saying that, she felt she might be understating the animosity.

[maipokerface]

"I guess. They've never seemed to get along though." From what attention Mai's paid to them anyhow.

[nibelungvalesti]

"It seemed... personal. Far beyond rivalry or professional enmity, they truly seemed to be hostile." To the point that the musicians were being moved like pawns on a board. Human lives were tokens in this fight.

She wouldn't say any of this out loud, but she didn't think she needed to.

[maipokerface]

"... Huh. Why do you think that is?" Did they have a fight over something? Likely.

[nibelungvalesti]

"For that level of anger, it is almost as if..."

Meril shook her head abruptly. Whatever speculations she had, they were outrageous and founded too much on those inexplicable visions and experiences she'd been through in the past months. Mai would think she was crazy.

"Well, if I understood, I would probably understand a large number of things."

Mai watches the other woman a moment, waiting to see if she'll say more. And when she doesn't, Mai settles back into her seat with a long sigh.

"You and me both honestly."

[nibelungvalesti]

"At least know that I hold no personal animosity to you or anyone else." Meril could safely say that. She didn't hate anyone and barely had the wherewithal to dislike them beyond mild annoyance. "And should I ever develop any, I will not express it with violence in that fashion."

[maipokerface]

"I definitely hope not." That said, she smiles vaguely. "I'm not going to hold a grudge over it though. Enough people have talked about how weird it was to keep me from that. Well, and your apology helps.]

[nibelungvalesti]

"It is more than an apology. It is also a warning -- should I behave like that in the future, then something is wrong." She considered what she had just said, and then amended, "More wrong than the obvious."

[maipokerface]

"I'll keep that in mind then."
