The Devil's Nest, Tuesday Evening

[icecoldfrost]

It hadn't really hit home for Emma that the summer was almost over until her ESU orientation packet in the mail.

Whenever she wasn't busy with her hostess duties or trying to convince Tiny to give her a drink, Emma would be going over her information. Apparently she had a survey to fill out to help match her with a roommate.

The Devil's Nest was open, and the DJ was spinning the best of Madonna remixes. Come celebrate the end of classes!

Emma's Station

[icecoldfrost]

Get carded, pay your cover, and chat with the hostess.

"Hello, Emma," Peter said. He looked untroubled this time around - for obvious reasons. "College paperwork, huh?"

"They seem to think a survey will match me with a roommate," she replied glibly, filling in circles almost at random. "Although I doubt they even read these. They probably sort us through a random number generator or something."

Peter leaned onto the counter, peeking over at her circles. "Test that theory. Tell them that you're highly allergic to sunlight," he advised, merrily, "and can't sleep in a bedroom without pubic hair on the ceiling."

Jaina had meant to be home right now. In fact, she'd gotten to her first portal stopover before deciding she needed to change her plans because going to explain her actions in her current mental state was just an all-around bad idea. So upon getting to Fandom, rather than stay cooped up somewhere, she went where she knew people would still be around. And because it wasn't like the player had work to do.

"Please tell me you don't need to still check my ID," Jaina began.

"Hardly," Emma snorted, waving her past without asking for the cover. "You've been in here often enough."

Re: Emma's Station

[solo_sword]

"I should probably worry about how often I'm here when that's the answer," she said. "Thanks."

Jack stuck out his hand without complaint.

"I can't believe you're giving up all this just to pursue an education, Miss Frost," he teased. "Tiny will be heartbroken."

Re: Emma's Station

[icecoldfrost]

"Tiny will get over it, I'm sure," Emma assured him. "Perhaps when I get my degree in business, I can open my own club."

Re: Emma's Station

[bitten_notshy]

"Do you think Mr. Northman will want a partner by then?" Jack wondered, though he was fairly certain Emma didn't mean a club here.

Oh look who was in town to check up on people after all that talk about poking mysterious objects with sticks.

Oh look who didn't realize who would be on duty at the front of the bar. But instead of pretending like this wouldn't be awkward or anything, he decided to start the whole encounter with a hopefully semi-defusing statement.

"There is really nothing I can say that will make this go any easier, so... how about you just go off and I'll listen to whatever you want to tell me."

Re: Emma's Station

Emma didn't even wait for Peter to finish talking before her hand shot out to slap him, hard, putting her weight behind it as Rose had taught her. He thought a line like that was going to work? Really?

He was just lucky she didn't shift to diamond.

Re: Emma's Station

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

He didn't think it would work but maybe cause a teeny bit of mercy.

Peter flinched, of course, but it was definitely not the first or last time he'd get slapped by a pretty woman. He even tasted a little copper in his mouth, that was one hell of a slap.

"Or that. That works too," he said. "Nice to see you."

The Bar

[icecoldfrost]

Where Tiny will serve those who are of age to drink.

Re: The Bar

[lockestheway]

Peter... had a glass of Coke, and a desk projecting small holograms of some of the information he was processing. All stuff that he wasn't too fussed showing in public, mind - the really important contacts, he'd deal with back home.

But it was a nice place to be by himself for a while, anyway. Working.

Re: The Bar

[bitten_notshy]

While Peter worked, he received some half-curious looks from the young man a few stools down. He'd met a Peter before, but only briefly. He had little more than reputation to go on with this one -- assuming this wasn't an example of the Fandom-clone phenomenon, but somehow Jack thought not.

"Can I ask what that is?" he finally asked, gesturing to the projected holograms.

Re: The Bar

[lockestheway]

"Hm?" Peter asked, looking up. He'd been halfway into an article on current New Warsaw Pact politics - something he was hoping to take advantage of - and Jack's question snapped him out of his train of thought. "Oh. It's a holographic interface," he said. "Call it a laptop."

He'd gotten kind of used to the 21st century thing.

Re: The Bar

[bitten_notshy]

Jack was not of age by U.S. law, and he'd given up trying to argue about how inane that was. He had a sparkling water with lime and a newspaper, though the newspaper was really just a cover for his prime sport of people-watching.

Dance Floor & Public Lounge

[icecoldfrost]

Dance the night away or sit down and gossip with your friends.

The VIP Lounge

[icecoldfrost]

You have to be invited to get past the velvet rope.

Re: The VIP Lounge

[texted3times]

Eric was in his usual location, drinking his normal beverage, and looking faintly bored.

Sadly, also as usual.

Re: The VIP Lounge

[solo_sword]

Be less bored, Eric. You had a Jaina- who clearly had seen better days- with a small canister of dirt in hand. Because when you got to be bored at war, you find time to get dirt.

"I believe it's my turn to give you this," she greeted him.

Re: The VIP Lounge

[texted3times]

"Did you roll around in it first?"

This was Eric expressing concern. It was easy to miss.

Re: The VIP Lounge

[icecoldfrost]

"Are we not being entertaining enough for you?" Emma asked, pausing by his area as she cleared glasses out of the regular lounge for Tiny. "I would apologize, but it's not my fault."

OOC
