    The Blue Note has changed again!

    The winter wonderland is gone and the bar has gotten back to basics. Right back; and where possible, back to the brickwork. The dive has an underground, raw, feel to it. Furniture, either keyed to the period or simply an evocation of it, complements the booths and that could not be swapped out. Period posters have been purloined. Barrels have been tactfully positioned and lights are down low

    In all but name, the Blue Note is a speakeasy from the roaring 20s. Unless someone figures out time travel, its the best that can be done with the resources available.

    At least someone has appropriate music pumping from cunningly crafted speakers.



    The Gristlegrinder known as Tobias Yazgad tends the bar. Somewhere, somehow, someone stuffed him into a shirt and trousers. He snatched the bowler hat himself and its its precariously on his head, red bandanna poking out like a shock of hair from under it. Tobias looks bored and terribly upset - no doubt he thinks he's on the wrong side of the bar.

    Malcolm Green sits at his booth. He has managed to find a shirt that fits, a collarless one like they had back in the day. A pair of dark trousers (that fit) cut in the style of the day with suspenders reaching over his shoulders and a pair of chunky working boots complete his appearance. The whole look is completely ruined by the spats - they fit his immense size... but they were went for a richer garb than he is waring tonight.

    The Mountain is reading a very modern paper. A jug of ale sits by his left hand.

    Not long after Green had arrived, the Onyx Queen followed suit, almost quite literally. Instead of a dress as she normally sported, the Fairest dawned a twist on men's fashion from the 20's. Including a fedora. Something different; there were times she needed a change of pace.

    The warm and inviting change of look was cooled off by her presence. It wouldn't last too long, but she enjoyed the sensation when she entered any room. Quite the difference from years ago.

    "Malcolm!" The Dancer said boldly as she entered. "This turned out wonderfully!" Completely approving of the temporary change. "If there wasn't the Shady Lady Saloon in town, I'd consider keeping it like this." She chuckled softly and nodded to Tobias in acknowledgement.

    "Was there anything else you needed that you couldn't quite get at?" There may have been something in storage that was locked and she thought she'd made enough spares.

    Sasha!

    Mhairi was nervous. Feeling naked even if she wasn't. It's just she wasn't in anything she'd normally wear. Which was sort of the point, but still her heart wouldn't stop fluttering. The Autumn Queen hadn't realized just how depended she'd become on her ever-present corsets to feel confidant. Wearing a bronze and pewter flapper dress Mhairi walks into the Blue Note and gapes.

    Sure she was expecting the room to be changed a little to match the theme, but this...wow.

    Stepping farther in, the music surrounding her, she feels just like a rubbernecking tourist. Catching sight of the Winters hosting the evening Mhairi flushes realizing that they've seen her obvious awe. "Queen L'aire! Green! Hi!" she waves, twirling the end of the feather boa that completed her look. "This is just...wow! I can't believe how different it looks."

    Green folded his paper with a jerk of his wrist and was then temporarily perplexed as he extricated the paper from his thick fingers.

    "Uh. Hi. Yeah. It... Uh. Took some working out but we got there in the end. No problems. Don't think we need anything else. I figured we just buy some of this stuff and that way we can use it again sometime. Or pass it on. Or, yeah, sell it."

    A faint smile tugged at the corners of his mouth until it stretched into a cavernous grin.

    "It was kinda fun. The working how to pull things apart and put them back together... stuff. Yeah."

    Upon seeing Mhairi he inclined his head.

    "Mhairi. You're welcome."

    Softly shimmering gold flakes catch the light whenever she moves, delicate gilded and diamond scales extenuate the luminescent sapphires that are her eyes. The ocean lives in Sera's eyes, perfectly cut sapphires, gleam in the light. Deeper shades always shifting like the tide. The scales trail up to her temples and forehead. Her hair reaches down her back, brushing the back of her calves, spun silver and gold. Perfectly placed streaks of sea green are seen throughout her hair. Very fine diamond dust falls loose from her hair when she moves, reflecting rainbows from the light. The scales on her hands are dulled by the simple fact that her hands are translucent. There was an iridescent scale like skin that pulled delicately up from her ears. The membrane shimmered and created three curly points.

    Treasured Nix

    Sera had been looking forward to the night since she saw the notice. With an income now, she could afford to spend a little more on clothes, and had gone all out for tonight. Now, the challenge had been did she want to go fun and flirty flapper, or a more sensual high society style. It hadn’t been easy, both styles were fun, but were different. Well, at least to her they were.

    She finally decided upon a floor length body hugging white silk dress. It was sleeveless with a daring plunging neckline. It was similar to a picture she had seen online for what was worn for the time, so it worked. She pinned and curled her hair and added one of those big headband things with a jeweled flower on it. Themed parties were always the best, and she knew the dress looked amazing on her.

    Walking into the Blue Note, she was taken aback by how the club had changed. Wide eyes take in the atmosphere before she caught on that there were other Lost already there.

    Walking over, the Nix smiles, “Evening Queen L’aire, Green and Mhairi,” she greets, “This place looks amazing!” she gushed.

    Morgan was adorned with her regular jacket and a small backpack, neither went with the old timey theme. She'd take them off once she got inside. The red flapper dress she wore however was very much in line with the dress code. Though the Paladin of Shadows did have a little trouble with the shoes. She honestly didn't know if they were time appropriate or not. The Beast preferred sneakers or bare feet thanks to her parkour hobby, but she'd hope for concessions if they weren't.

    Entering, she saw she was not too late. "Salutations folks! Well met Queen L'Aire. Seems I am nary tardy, heh, to the party." She removed her jacket and placed it into a booth.

    "Heh, I adore thine attire everyone." Morgan was walking slower then normal, heels did that. She approached Green, "Ye took care of the demesne's alterations? Ye hath done a splendid job Green, heh. Excellent!" Morgan had a massive grin on her face as her eyes darted everywhere, taking in everything. "Doth the party hath a plan?"

    The Onyx happily waved as the lot of them began to slowly arrive. "You ladies look so charming and elegant. Each style is so fitting on all of you."

    She'd ask Green's opinion, but was extremely certain that would make him uncomfortable. "Morgan, you always apologize for being late." The Fairest snickered. "You are hardly late most of the time. I think they call it 'fashionably late.' But still, rarely late."

    Her violet eyes looked at Sera, then to Green, then to the Morgan and Mhairi. "Sera..." Sasha had a wry smile on her face. "Do you happen to know any songs from the era we're standing in? Or maybe some slow jazz?"

    "Thanks!" Mhairi chirps, face flushing. "I wish I though of doing the taking a spin on male fashion...you look amazing Queen L'aire." turning to look at the others, "You all do! This is just so..." at a loss for words, she just gestured and smiled. Hoping that conveyed her meaning. More then just surprised that Morgan was wearing a fringed flapper dress and not her normal cheongsam she normally worn to Coronations. But then again, this wasn't a Coronation, so maybe Mhairi should be so surprised.

    Mhairi blinked, when it filtered through her mind that it was the Mountain and not his Queen that set all of this up. "Thanks Green. Really. This is just." another gesture and a smile.

    The Wisp gaps, "Queen L'aire...that's a brilliant idea." Fell-flames switch to the Dragoness, "Sera? Do you know any songs?" fell-flames flicker in merry anticipation.

    Morgan opened her mouth to reply to Sasha but froze. Her head tilted in confusion, "Tardiness...can be...fashionable?" Beasts. Sometimes a social concept is snapped in their jaws and held onto tightly. Others whizz by their head without the slightest acknowledgement. This instance was not the former.

    2) Her confusion rose as it was mentioned L'Aire was in drag. Which..wait, Mhairi had said spin so that meant it wasn't a guy's clothes. Morgan was glad she'd not blurted that out. "We shalt be singing? Heh, did karaoke with normans a'fore so lo' that doth sound brilliant indeed heh."

    Morgan wasn't sure if she knew any songs, not that she'd been asked, but she tried to wrack her brain anyway.

    Long tall sally? Nay, not that one. Oh, Ain't Misbehaving tis jazz. How did the song go? Her face scrunched up in concentration as she tried to think of that, just in case they each had to sing or something like that.

    A smile was offered to Morgan when she arrived, “Hi Morgan! Love that dress on you!” and it did look nice. Though she could tell the Steep scrambler wasn’t used to the heels. Well, they weren’t for everyone, but they did make the outfit better.

    Nodding, “Yes! Fashionably late, which is defiantly a good thing.” She confirmed.

    The wry smile brought a questioning look to her face, not sure where L’aire was going with her question.

    “Oh,” they wanted her to sing! “You want me to sing? Well, I know jazz songs, some slow and some more upbeat. I didn’t think to look into any songs of the era, but I could look some up online if we wanted more authentic songs.” She offers as her stomach gets the little excited feeling of butterflies, the butterflies of eagerness. It had been a while since she sang on a stage.

    She laughs and smiles widely at Mhairi, “Wow….guess I kinda have to now.” She says with another laugh. Not that she minded, it would give her a chance to show off her voice.
