006 ✽ Get Down

[giglio_madonna]

Who: As many people in Virgo HQ as Luce can grab
What: The best way to get to know new people is over breakfast, didn't you know?
When: A nice cheery morning a vague time in January after everyone's newbies have met their band
Where: The Flower Over Bones penthouse
Warnings: None planned! Feel free to treat this as a mingle log

The first month Luce arrived at Virgo HQ, she didn't waste any time before establishing some sort of lunch everyone could get together at. As January drags on, it's something she finds herself thinking about as new faces fill up the gaps where she had known others.

It's part of the reasons why, one early morning, she can be found bustling to all the other band penthouses to deliver a simple invitation she makes sure everyone gets to hear: a breakfast taking place in the FoB house for all Virgo musicians.

FoB penthouse looks like a lot of the other bands, with some clutter here and there that fits its inhabitants including a small dartboard with various articles about the members pinned there with shuriken. The television is playing what seems to be an early day sci-fi movie marathon and there's already a pretty impressive spread of pancakes, waffles, french toast, and various cut up fruit for people to dig into.

There's always room for one more!

[ Doctor returns the smile. This fellow seems enthusiastic- perhaps enthusiastic in a similar manner to himself? ]

Yes, thank you! You're the saxophonist from Vandalism in Progress- Bill isn't it?

[ Doctor starts up that triangle pancake and uses the batter to draw in a bow tie on it for kicks. ]

[liarmonstersnappydresser]

[In a very similar manner, in fact; it must have something to do with practically being older than time itself.]

"That's right; Bill Cipher! You're a smart cookie, Doc."

[He would shake your hand, but yours are obviously preoccupied doing something. Bill's eye lights up at the little extra addition Doctor added to his pancake, he laughs.]

"And it looks like you've got good taste to boot!"

[trustme]

Thanks! The same goes for you. [ Doctor flips the pancake another couple times then serves it up, sliding the plate across the counter to Bill. ] Don't let the fashion critics ever discourage you- bow ties are always cool and always in.

[liarmonstersnappydresser]

"Damn straight! Oo- speaking of good taste-"

[Bill wastes no time diving into the batter-made good, taking up his own small corner of the counter-space rather than leaving. This conversations just a little too interesting to go meandering off just yet. He grins, twirling a forkful.]

"So! You and Luce are both co-lead right? You and the Holy Mother of Bass must go way back?"

[trustme]

"Yes. We've been working together for a while now. We don't actually go as far back as you might think though. Despite the rumors I found her at the convent where she would have become a nun, we really met at about the same time we became acquainted with the rest of the band. It's only been a couple years."

[ Doctor sets the spatula aside for the time and turns off the stove. He deserved a break after all that pancake art, and he starts by helping himself to a glass of orange juice. ]

[liarmonstersnappydresser]

"Hehe convent huh? That where she got her whole 'holy mother of bass' shtick? I could see it."

Bill chuckles, having to swallow his remaining pancake down before he finished speaking-- though not for lack of trying.

"Yeah, can't say I knew much of ViP before I shacked up with Virgo's establishment either. We only met a few weeks, shortly before this little incident--"

He taps his eye-patch emphatically.

"Anyway! Right or hilaaariously wrong, you have to hand it to the tabloids and their creativity for what they don't know."

[trustme]

"So very true! Only the most imaginative individuals can write the most entertaining tabloids. I prefer the ones that spread strange rumors about ghosts or aliens over the same old secret dates and pregnancy rumors. Far from accurate but entertaining in concept!"

[liarmonstersnappydresser]

"Oh, yeah! 'So-and-so is secretly a wolfman!' 'Blank wasn't actually pregnant her human flesh just became sentient and took a stroll!' 'Insert-name?! I think you mean INSERT DIFFERENT NAME! THE SHOCKING TRUTH.' 'Artist A falls into gateway to another realm while changing in phone booth; late for concert!' And I personally enjoy 'New lead singer actually reincarnation of dead less successful singer' hehehe!"

[Bill attempts an elbow nudge-- which really just ends with him smacking it against the table considering they are on different sides of the counter-top. At least he didn't knock anything over.]

"But hey, you never know, Doc, there might actually be an interdimensional being or time traveler two hiding around, eh? It's a crazy world we live in. Come onnnn, I'll bet you got a few headlines hiding in that noggin of yours!"
