one night of magic rush

[blyat]

WHO: Cain, Prompto, Hideki Maeda, and you!
WHERE: The popular Asylum club.
WHEN: Night of October 26.
WHAT: Cain and Prompto's joint birthdays!
NOTES OR WARNINGS: Beyond drinking/smoking, general wild party behavior, and fake friendship, there shouldn't be much. Will update as needed.


[Set deep in the downtown of New Amsterdam's entertainment district is Asylum, arguably the most popular club in the city. The exterior is cool steel beams and tasteful futuristic architecture with a long line down the corridor, suited bouncers posed at the entrance all armed with a virtual guest list. Its interior is fashioned with bright, colorful lighting dynamic to the music of the infamous DJ Semicolon, high ceilings and acoustic sounds to lend that feeling of a constant full-body hum. Any partygoers on the guest list for this event will be funneled toward the VIP section. They will have received an invitation a few days prior via their Cooltalk profiles. Jason is specifically blacklisted, sorry buddy.

DANCE YOUR HEART OUT. Nearly impossible to book without deep pockets or wide-reaching connections, Semicolon is at the top of their game mixing popular contemporary hits with Whitney Houston's classics. From song to song, Semicolon provides a unique and talented contrast of the slow to the energetic, so no matter your dancing style, you'll find something to move you on the dance floor.

DROWN YOUR... LIVER. Courtesy of the party's host, Hideki Maeda, the VIP section's private bar will provide an ever-flowing river of your favorite expensive high-proof alcohol. Pick your poison.

CHILL OUT. Tired on your feet from too much dancing, or just need a break from the packed atmosphere? There are plenty of comfortable areas where you can relax and take it easy until you're ready to get back out there. The lights around this area cycle through different colors in reflection of Semicolon's performance set, so a slower song might lend toward romantic shades of red while a faster-paced song is brighter blue.

SMOKE, EAT & MINGLE. Asylum will be serving real, fresh meat at this party, so enjoy that luxury while it lasts. There is also an outdoor area with a beautiful view over the city itself if you want to take your vape pen out there for a smoke, just get some air, or see who's around for a chat.]

[jon's been trying to flag down hideki for twenty minutes now. he''s been considering taking the bar over for the past ten. but this is his one night off, and he's determined to buy a round for his friends. it's hard to believe anyone could ignore the glare (or deep v) he's sporting, but it's hard to believe a lot of things about hideki maeda. jon nods at abel, who he's fairly sure he saw around the new tokyo dorms. usually with cain...]

This is ridiculous.

[adsero]

You mean 'he's'. [Abel frowns deeply over at Hideki, who's managed to throw together some white wine and vodka. Ugh.]

He's ridiculous.

[Abel slides his latest empty glass into the neat collection he's formed, but that's probably his last now that Hideki has taken over the bar. He casts a dark, disgruntled look at the large child playing at having an actual job.]

Maybe there's another bar if you're looking for something that won't send you into an early grave.

[998]

[jon draws back, furrows his brows.]

I know my order.

[vodka and lemonade for prompto. two drinks off the menu for dany and sansa. another of whatever cain's drinking. a pint of stout for himself. he looks again at hideki and his concoctions.]

Does he mean to serve that straight up?

[why. he glances through the cocktail menu. none of them are that.]

Did somebody ask him to make it?

[adsero]

Doubtful. From what I understand, he's 'improving' things. Even if you know what you want, I wouldn't give him the opportunity to tool around with it. Everyone else seems to regret taking the chance.

[He's eyeing all of the abandoned glasses that look nine-tenths full, and laughing that ensues as people waste what would have been perfectly good alcohol if it hadn't been doctored so heinously.]

[998]

[jon presses his lips together, weighing the consequences of hopping the bar and serving up proper drinks. there's a look in his eye that might be called scheming on someone else.]

Is anyone else working this bar, tonight?

[adsero]

This one? I thought I saw him shoo the actual bartenders out-- how are they supposed to make tips? [He snorts, still apparently fixated on all the ways Hideki is terrible.]

I saw another bar outside of the VIP section. I don't know if I should drink anymore, otherwise I might go over there and bring it back.

[998]

[as a fellow bartender, that's enough to set jon scowling.]

Bad form.

[he leans down and presses his hand into a barstool--for a moment it seems like he's going to use it to launch himself up and over the bar. but then he'll be stuck working again. he rights himself, and sighs.]

I suppose I'd better look at this other bar. There's a few people waiting on drinks from me.

[he smiles grimly.]

I'm Jon Snow. I'll be coming back here.

[to tell hideki off or to serve up some proper drinks himself--he's not sure yet.]

[adsero]

Ah, Abel. [He looks a little flustered when Jon says he'll be coming back, because Abel had fully intended to move. But he supposes he should hold onto Jon's spot so one of Hideki's random Cooltalk followers doesn't sit near him and try to start a conversation. Abel slides one of the abandoned drinks into the spot in front of the stool next to him-- universal sign of 'this one's taken'.]

[And he waits, awkwardly, because he doesn't know how long the other will be or if he'll have to defend the chair.]
