"La varietà piace."

Who: Luci and Squalo. And you?
What: Lucifer and Lucifer walk into a bar...
When: Feb 5th-ish
Where: some unfortunate bar-like establishment in Vista City
Warnings: shamelessness, violence, Carnies, Squalo, the usual.

[ So, they agreed to go have a "quality bitch night". Then shit happened. Then shit was mostly dealt with, as much as possible at least, and obviously that means it's time for a perfectly respectable outing! Which apparently includes outfits like these, drinks, drugs, not banging, and leaving the place in ruins. ]

[ All in due time, though. It'll start off tame enough. Well, if a pair of mostly dressed rockstars making suggestive poses at/on the bar counter counts as "tame". Nobody's allowed too close, though, and the accompanying security's been instructed accordingly. It's a watch-not-touch sort of deal. Well, unless you like getting your bones broken, in which case everything's an option. ]

[ At some point they might take over the stage. Maybe even duet, though for the most part Squalo seems happier with the instruments and providing the occasional growls and screams. You should feel lucky if you happen across this performance; it's what live strives to be. Breathing, pulsing, genuine music. ]

[ Later they can be found drinking at the bar, or slipping away and returning in suspiciously improved spirits. At some point, things will start flying, breaking, and setting on fire. You know, just good fun. ]

(( OOC: feel free to happen across them at whatever point of time! please specify who you want to interact with in the subject line (though the other might threadjack at some point if allowed), you can have them both or one at a time etc etc. ))

[ It's called cocaine, Connor. Then again, it could just be the natural state of these two... ]

[ He glances back at Luci and Bouncer McBoring who seem to be headed in the same direction. Ooh, smart move, Devil. Use the crowd for good. He grins and half-sings, half-yells in her direction. ]

I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity --

[ As more crowd moves over to Luci, there's less people around where he is. And guess what he sees? Why, that very same dude that was part of the reason why things started flying in the first place. Grinning maliciously, Squalo stalks over. ]

VOOOOIII, FUCKFACE! You wanna repeat what you said about my mom?

[ YEAH HE'S GETTING A NICE SWING AND HITTING HIM WITH THE STOOL. The unfortunate person rolls across the floor, then gets to his feet and legs it while Squalo holds up the stool in triumph. ]

-- I'm going to go go go
There's no stopping me, OH FUCK NO!

[Fucking hell, no one told him they could do this. The obstacles aren't much of an issue, but the hapless bargoers are. He doesn't want to hurt them-- doesn't want to hurt anyone really, but these two clearly aren't going to just settle down and leave quietly.]

[--Ugh and now the other one's starting a fight? Connor frowns and backs up toward the wall, using anything even vaguely sturdy to climb and get to the flyspace above the stage. Or rather, he shimmies along by his hands and- one swing, two swings, look out Squalo he's coming.]

[Luci laughs when Squalo joins in and points at him to acknowledge the assist-- and for flair.]

I'm a racing car passing by
like Lady Godiva!
I'm gonna go go go--

[She cuts off when she realizes the bouncer is... what the fuck? How is he doing that?!]

[And now Squalo has accomplished his mission to whack this douchebag with a barstool, and while the guy looks like he's not about to cause problems, the bouncer is probably not thrilled about the assault.]

[Luci looks down at the thrumming crowd, reaching out for her, and for a flash she feels sick. Hands. Reaching for her. But she can sing for them, that's all they want. So she just gives them what they want and steps out into the crowd. They all swell up around her and help her walk, barefooted over the crowd. It's slow-going, but her eye is on this intense bouncer leaping around.]

I'm burnin' through the sky yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you!

[ Squalo is blissfully unaware of the impending doom in the form of (another) assassin. He puts the stool down, climbs on top of it, straightening up on his knees, and holds his arms out to the sides as he sees the crowd getting closer again. ]

YEAH! PRAISE THE MOTHERFUCKING LORD!!

[ It's probably a reference to that piece of musical and Aria of Jesus they've performed earlier. He does feel otherworldly right now, to be honest, and he's pretty sure he's not the only one. Luci's doing the walking the waters thing, and it's absolutely stunning as always. ]

[Connor doesn't care about all this blasphemy that's happening right now. Instead, he's gonna swing a last time to get some momentum, and then he's flying toward Squalo like a spear made of... Muscle and kicks.]

[He's gonna ask his boss not to send him out to any bars musicians frequent, he thinks. This is ridiculous.]

Oh shit--

[Luci sees the bouncer going right for Squalo and he seems too caught up in what they're doing to notice. And it's not like she's going to put these bargoers in front of a spear made of muscle and kicks. She's a ruthless bitch but she's not evil.]

Don't stop me now--

SQUALO!! [She shouts, pointing at the wall of muscle coming right at him.]

Fucking hell --

[ That heads-up gives him a moment to see a huge guy flying at him, hop off the chair and brace himself to maybe lessen the impact a little, but there's still a collision. Like the twig he is, he'll probably slam into the floor, unless Connor has other plans about grabbing him. ]

[Falling on the floor works for Connor. He's hoping Squalo's too winded to fight back immediately so he can just haul the guy up and throw him over a shoulder and go deal with Luci. Great idea in theory, now let's see how it goes for him in practice.]

[Oh he picked up Squalo like a little golden daisy. Luci's not as heavy, and while she might have linebacker shoulders she's still not a match for that. So she has to be smart.]

I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball
Don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time
Just give me a call!

[The crowd starts swelling around the bouncer and Squalo, and a couple of the stronger-looking guys seem pretty intent on getting Connor up on their shoulders and relieving him of Squalo.]

[ Squalo hangs there like a sack of potatoes for a whole of three seconds before he starts kicking and screaming. His voice breaks through the background music, the noise of the crowd, even the singing. Did he swallow a foghorn as a baby? ]

Fuck off! Let go!! Ficcati una barca in culo con i remi aperti, testa di cazzo --

[ He'll be trying to bite Connor now like a proper adult fighting, whether it's somewhere on his back or he's actually tried to grab his arm and pull it closer to his teeth. ]

[Good lord this guy will not quit. Connor gives the most long-suffering sigh imaginable as he adjusts his shoulder and lifts his arm to hold Squalo in place, making sure it's as uncomfortable as possible as Squalo gets jostled around.]

[The people coming for him are... Well, that's a problem. He doesn't want to hurt anyone for being brainwashed, but he's long since reached the limit on patience for this situation. It slows down his journey toward Luci considerably, but that's mostly because he's trying to dispatch them without any lasting injuries. He doesn't seem to be having any trouble here though.]

[This guy can't be human, this is crazy. A mob can't even lift him? Can't even separate Squalo from him?]

[Man. If he wasn't trying to end their reign of insanity, and had already said no, Luci would try to take another pass at him. Guy is pretty ballsy. In the meantime, she just increases the amount of people surrounding her and holding her up above the crowd. She's obviously not about to abandon Squalo, but let's see how much longer she can drag this out.]

Don't stop me now ('cause I'm having a good time)
Don't stop me now (yes I'm having a good time)
I don't want to stop at all... yeah!

I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars
On a collision course
I am a satellite I'm out of control
I am a sex machine ready to reload
Like an atom bomb about to
Oh oh oh oh oh explode!

[ Nope, not quitting. Wiggling and struggling to the best of his ability, and possibly trying to knee the guy in the face. If that doesn't work, well, plan B. ]

[ Which is basically SURPRISE THEM AND RUN and that means he's trying to stick a hand into the back of Connor's pants nbd. ]

[WELL. THAT MAKES HIM STOP MOVING. Connor has been manhandled in a lot of different ways over the course of his life, but having some guy just stick a hand down the back of his pants is new. He grunts in discomfort and gives an incredibly long suffering sigh, jostling Squalo again for good measure. Quit it.]

[His surprise has left a bit of an opening for the crowd, and some of them are tugging on Squalo to try and separate him from his captor. Connor sighs again, now turning quickly to try and use Squalo's legs as a weapon to bat them away.]

[How does he deal with the Lucifer situation though. She's not exactly easy to get hold of.]

[And she's trying to keep it that way. The crowd is still forming rings of fortification around her as several stronger crowd members keep her lifted and standing above the audience. Many of them are starting to climb onto the shoulders of their friends or significant others, quite a few are just engaging in extreme PDA, it's quite the raucous affair even as Connor and Squalo struggle on the edges of it.]

I'm burning through the sky Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman of you

[Some woman in the audience screams and faints as Luci winks at her. This kind of fan reaction is somehow familiar to her, but she knows it's never been this intense at the Carnies' performances. Focus though-- She winces as Connor flings Squalo's legs out at the crowd and a couple of them grab hold, one on each. There could very well be a tug-of-war happening soon.]

VVVOOOOOOIIIIII I'M NOT A FUCKING WEAPON!! PUT ME DOWN!

[ He struggles and tries crawling down the guy's back to get his legs out of reach of the crowd. Except as he ends up hanging lower, his hair is reaching the ground. It's only a matter of time until someone steps on it, isn't it? ]

You are for now.

[If he's joking, there's no hint of it in Connor's tone. He's concentrating pretty hard of keeping hold of this loud, wriggling child, which is getting harder by the second. Especially when someone (probably someone in the crowd and Definitely Not Connor) steps on Squalo's hair and jolts him backward.]

[It's around this point he yells in frustration-- whether or not he keeps hold of Squalo, he's just gonna start smacking people aside. It's a shame, and deep down he feels kind of bad, but if he has to bust a few heads to get to the source of the problem? So be it.]

Don't stop me
Don't stop me
Don't stop me
Hey hey hey!

Don't stop me
Don't stop me
Ooh ooh ooh

Don't stop me
Don't stop me
Have a good time, good time

Don't stop me
Don't stop me--

[The bouncer provides the yell Luci had been planning and she realizes with a terrible wince that someone's stepped on Squalo's hair and hindered the bouncer's progress. The guy's really starting to knock heads together, Luci feels the impulse to protect her fans as best she can.]

[She takes a run through the top of the crowd, finally pushing off and diving straight at Connor. Can he handle both of them?]

[ That yell is probably going to be drowned out in the following out-of-this-planet howl that Squalo performs as a protest for some cunt ass klutz stepping on his hair because that shit is sacred, also it hurts. The windows are probably going to rattle and a few people might grab onto their ears, just a day ending in y. ]

[ And, of course, he's punching whatever unfortunate person happened to be behind Connor at that moment right in the face. ]
