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.]

Waffles?

[ it's not that bobbi doesn't appreciate a good waffle - but it seems a little incongruous in the setting. waffles seem more wholesome than this club by a long shot. not more wholesome than jon, though, so maybe it is fitting. ]

Is there a story there or do you just really like waffles?

[ does she have to shout a little over the music? yes. but it's fine. ]

[998]

[fancy waffles!! with a fancy dessert topping!! jon looks at her a bit helplessly.]

They were the nicest cakes we could afford.

[sweetwaffel is popular, and gourmet waffles froma trendy waffle place seemed more appropriate than a cake from an unknown bakery.]

Prompto's real present isn't ready yet, and I didn't want to show up empty-handed.

[covertness]

[ the helpless look is almost enough to make her feel bad for the question, although it had been motivated by curiosity, not by mockery. ]

I'm sure he appreciates it. They look great.

[ very fancy!! very instagrammable cooltalkable!

leaning in a little, as though there is a real danger of being overheard. ] What's the real present?

[998]

[jon grins, drops his voice.]

A longbow, if Fitz will make it.

[if not.....well. darts??]

[covertness]

Wow.

[ bobbi's lips quirk up, smile broadening in increments until she's grinning widely. ]

You're outdoing all of us with that.

[998]

[jon raises his eyebrows.]

Not our host for the evening.

[he looks around vaguely, sighs.]

I'd be interested to hear what you think of all this.

[or read, considering.]

[covertness]

[ bobbi's lips quirk up. ]

Let me get myself a drink and I'll tell you all about it. Want one, too?

[998]

[it's free, so he nods, though he's tempted to offer to fetch it himself.]

I wouldn't mind one. It's just ale for me tonight--anything good and dark.

[he grins.]

I'll save you a waffle.

[covertness]

Sounds like a deal.

[ she'll get him something dark and good and he'll save her a waffle. she gets a cocktail from the bar and the ale, mind already working. ]

if by all this you mean the party
i think it's a good thing someone's getting along with maeda's son
she's got her hand in a lot of pies and she's connected to a lot of things that have been going on, at least on paper
no clue how just yet

[998]

[maeda's son is the influencer. good to know? except who's maeda.]

What is it Maeda supposed to do? At least on paper.

[covertness]

she's a board member of giles bell
she's also responsible for attacks on matches malone and his brothers
her husband's on the board of pulsar and they backed the governor's last campaign

[998]

Why would she want to hurt any of ours?

[covertness]

at this stage, your guess is as good as mine

[998]

Well, if you hear anything further, I'd appreciate your passing it on.

[covertness]

if you promise to do the same

[998]

Of course.
