(1702) Speakeasy Shuffle

[Yumyumcrow]

"How about Puttin' on the Ritz or Anything Goes?" Tobias Yazgad interjects from behind the bar. His wide, orcish, orcish mouth splits into a leer.

[Malcolm Green]

Green sits bolt upright at the sudden question. The newspaper, so gently extricated from his hands, scrunches loudly as his mighty fingers convulse.

"Huh? Who? Me? Uh... Songs! Yeah! I know that. Kind of. Um. Yeah. What he said!"

The mountain harumphs loudly and tries to disappear into the booth.

[Swami M]

Alex doesn't own much in the way of clothing that could be associated with the Roaring 20's, and the stock at Urban Edge was not any more helpful. The hipster crowd hasn't gone that far retro. Yet. He ended up settling for a garish pinstripe suit he'd found in a thrift shop, something you might see in an old gangster movie. Aside from any concerns about wardrobe, given recent events, he's not sure if this meeting will really be for business or pleasure.

"Hello everyone." He mimes pulling a pistol from his jacket and aims the finger gun at one of the posters on the wall. "Happy Gaturday."

[Morgan Bellanar]

"Thank ye Sera, thine attire suits thee too, heh," she returned the kindness. And she received more kindness as L'Aire explained it all, "Oh, heh-heh, I'll mind that heh hence forth. Beats worrying on the clock, heh, constantly."

Tobias's outburst helped convince Morgan to put in her own two cents. "If we art promoting tunes, I ken one. I recollect that heh Ain't Misbehaving tis a old timey jazz tune, heh. Nary give ye full lyrics but that tis the song, heh." After a moment she decided to add, "Whilst certain that Sera shalt give a grand performance doth ye, Sera, want other folks to take part too?"

And Alex had arrived, "Heh-heh, nice Capone outfit Alex. Sharp tis the word. Tis it, uh," she looks a L'Aire, "count as fashionably late?" It could certainly count as a late fashion.

[Mhairi Ankaa]

While the others start talking, quickly discussing and deciding on songs for their resident songstress to sing, Mhairi made her way to the bar, and to the grinning goblin behind it. "Appletiny? Please?" looking at the Summer Mhairi didn't know if the Ogre knew how to make an appletiny, but she didn't want to be a rude assuming bitch. "Or maybe white russian?" She smiles like she doesn't know which she wants more.

Once she has a drink in hand, whatever it may be, she returns to the gathered Lost. "I'd love it listen to Sera sing, maybe dance to the music."

Raising her drink in greeting, "Hey Alex." smiling, "And, Morgan's quite right, nice outfit choice."

[Malcolm Green]

Hiding isn't going to work.

Green sighs and reaches for his ale instead. He hefts the jug and quaffs mightily, doing his best to hide behind the drink.

"Hey Alex! Glad you could make it," he speaks at last, saluting the Woodblood with his ale. "Nice suit. Come sit before the ladies drag you into whatever scheme they are planning."

[Seraphina]

A grin a laugh was offered to Tobias as he recommended songs she actually did know. She was a pageant queen after all, show tunes were popular and won over judges.

The grin turns into a warm smile when Alex appeared,

“Evening Alex, looking sharp!” greets the Treasured. And she has to wonder if guys had an easier time getting ready for costumed events. Maybe something to ask later.

There was a gentle shrug of her slim shoulders, “If others want to sing that’s fine by me.” She didn’t really like sharing the stage, but she was still new and wasn’t comfortable commanding the stage alone yet.

“Oh! I like that, a once a month thing! I adore a reason to get dressed up, so count me in!”

And with that, she had figured something to sing and tells L’aire her choice, figuring there could me some background music or something. And with that, she makes her way to the stage. She stands still for a few moments, getting a feel for the microphone, lights and stage. Each was different, and she had to know what she had to work with and how much she could move.

She then counts out the beat of the music in her head and begins to sing. Eyes close briefly as she feels the beat move through her and her body sways with the music. Sapphire eyes open as she gets into the song, her angelic voice lending its own beauty to the song.

Anything Goes

[Swami M]

Alex watches the new bartender for a moment. Another new Summer to keep track of. But it appears there may be other business to attend to. He orders a beer and takes a seat next to Green.

"I like what you've done with the place. Pretty impressive."
