Christian Gallagher: He's still waiting outside for her, leaned up against the wall and smoking a cigarette. Usual outfit...the T-Shirt today reads "Talk Nerdy To Me."

Sha-Sha: http://www.dracinabox.com/redblklolita.jpg *With her black hair done in ringlets, and a red band with black crossed stripes just behind the bangs, she's apparently gone for a bit of a different look tonight. A red with black bows, satin belt and mesh underskirt dress gives her a dark sort of Alice in wonderland look. Underneath she wears black bloomers which end at the knee with black and red striped socks leading into mary jane style shoes. ((outfit here: http://www.dracinabox.com/redblklolita.jpg)) She's done the smart thing and taken a cab today. She comes in and looks around, trying to locate Christian.*

Sha-Sha: ((Delete part about coming inside. *L*))

Sha-Sha: *She climbs out of the cab, pays for the ride and walks up towards the club.*

Sha-Sha: d10: per+alert: 1,7,6,9,

Christian Gallagher: He smiles as he notes her approach, tossing his cigarette aside and nodding to her with a push away from the wall. "Hey, you." His smile is warm, if still concerned.

Sha-Sha: *She was heading for the door when she stops, seeing Christian outside and smiles softly. She walks over and opens her arms for a hug.* Hey...

Christian Gallagher: He reaches out and draws her into a tight hug. "Good to see you, Sha-Sha. You look good tonight. The look suits you."

Sha-Sha: *She hugs him just as tightly back, then smiles softly* Thanks. And thanks for having my bike towed. I really do appreciate it. *A soft, timid smile.*

Christian Gallagher: "You're welcome. Sorry that it caused problems, though." He sighs a bit, then looks to the door. "Shall we?"

Sha-Sha: *She wraps her arm around his waist and sighs softly.* It's not your fault. Things happen for a reason. It's not like he and I were getting along at all anyway. *She nods and walks towards the door, with him.*

Christian Gallagher: He nods a little bit to that, and moves on inside. The person in the booth isn't Brian, surprisingly, as evidenced by the halfway decent job they're doing. Christian looks over to her as they head in and smiles. "So what's first on the agenda for tonight?"

Sha-Sha: Something to drink. *She nods* Then...whatever. *She smiles at him.* You lead tonight.

Christian Gallagher: "Me lead?" He blinks to that, and chuckles a bit. "All righty. Well, obviously, the bar first. What would you like?"

Sha-Sha: Something strong...but tastes good! No chance of nasty taste! *She seems to be remembering something in particular when talking about the nasty taste. There's even a pucker to her face in the memory.*

Christian Gallagher: "Fair enough." He leans over the bar and greets the bartender, ordering a simple beer for himself, and something that fits the bill for her. As the 'tender goes to make them, Christian slips back off the bar and looks to Sha-Sha. "So, one of those weeks again?"

Sha-Sha: *She nods* Snyde and I had it out pretty bad the night before last. Before I came here. I got pretty toasted so Alex took me home. That's why my bike was still here. He came to get me in the morning to go back and get it and I saw it there with a note and a white rose. *She sighs.* I need time away from him. Totally and completely away and he just seems not to get it. Or at least he didn't. I don't know maybe he does now.

Christian Gallagher: He nods a little bit, sighing. "Guy just doesn't get a clue, does he?"

Sha-Sha: *She shakes her head.* No, he doesn't. He kept trying to demand we fix things, like I could snap my fingers and feel better. *She sighs.*

Christian Gallagher: He frowns a little bit. "Be careful there. He's sounding almost a bit obsessive."

Sha-Sha: The note he left was saying he was sorry and was going to back off. But with everything else, it's not hard to see why I believed he was following me, is it? *She looks up at him*

Alexander Donovan: Alex walks in in his usual attire, jeans and a t-shirt that's far too tight for comfort (but just right for a show). He's got Tony's leash wrapped snuggly around his forarm, metal clasp tucked in.

Christian Gallagher: He nods. "Fair enough. Still...be careful, okay? Better safe then sorry."

Sha-Sha: Outfit and hair here: http://www.dracinabox.com/redblklolita.jpg

Sha-Sha: *She nods* I am. *She smiles softly then takes the drink as it finally arrives and sips from it.*

Sha-Sha: d10: per+Alert: 6,6,9,6,

antonio pavlatos: He walks in behind Alexander like a shadow, and wearing some of his normal club attire - purple silk short, artfully torn, and a pair of lace up black leather pants.

Christian Gallagher: d10: Per+Alert: 7,7,8,4,6,

Sha-Sha: *Damn, she's a perceptive one tonight. She lifts a hand to wave at Alex and Tony.* That reminds me. Alex and I talked about putting together our own little party. So far the guest list I know included them two and us. If you wanted to, that is.

Christian Gallagher: He looks up, grabbing his beer with a grateful nod to the bartender, and glaces around. Alex and Tony's entrance is noted, and he nods to them.

Christian Gallagher: "A party?" He looks over at Sha, curious.

Sha-Sha: *She nods* Something like here, only just people we invite...so no Brian's. *She smiles a bit over at him.*

Alexander Donovan: Alex returns the wave, throwing an arm around Tony and keeping him close as they head through the crowd toward Sha-Sha and Christian.

Christian Gallagher: "Oooh, it already sounds good," he says with a grin.

Sha-Sha: *She sips again from that drink. Mmm...yummy. Then smiles a bit brighter at Christian and nods.* Alex said he was going to introduce some of his friends because most of the people I know don't dance.

antonio pavlatos: He gives a little smile to Sha-Sha and Christian.

Sha-Sha: ((Patrol time. 15 minute BRB. Sorry.))

Alexander Donovan: Alex pulls up a stool at the bar next to Chris when Sha makes a quick bathroom run. (*g*) "Hey there."

Christian Gallagher: "Hey." He smiles and nods to Alex, and Tony as well. "Good to see you guys. What's up?"

Alexander Donovan: "Well, we were planning a party, if she didn't tell you. Just trying to figure out how to ask you if you want to come without making it sound like we're just after your talents and your collection of music. Got any suggestions?"

Christian Gallagher: "Hmmm...well, your approach in an interesting one right there." He grins and nods. "I'd love to come. And to put my talents and music to work, too."

Alexander Donovan: "Good, because affording a place to have the party is gonna tap me out for a bit."

antonio pavlatos: He nuzzles Alexander's shoulder, looking over at Christian.

Alexander Donovan: "So, how's the night been? Any excitement? Fabulous dancers in here? Other than Sha and Tony here that is."

Alexander Donovan: Alex gives Tony a grin. "Ask him."

Sha-Sha: *She returns from the bathroom with a bit of a meek look* Sorry about that.

Christian Gallagher: "No one amazing like them, no. It's my night off...I've just been hanging out, mostly. Sha-Sha just showed up not long before you guys did."

antonio pavlatos: He murmurs to Christian. "Ya play any Depeche Mode, Sir... or Nine Inch Nails?"

Alexander Donovan: Alex holds his free arm out for a hug from Sha when she gets back. "Nothing to be sorry about."

Christian Gallagher: "On occasion," he says with a nod to Tony. "I've done a couple or my own remixes of some of the Pretty Hate Machine stuff, and I love Depeche Mode. I've included a lot of their stuff in my repertoire."

antonio pavlatos: Soft, "My favorite is In Your Room, they got lots of different ones of that."

Sha-Sha: *She hugs Alex with a soft smile.* Thanks. Um, in all fairness, I have to tell you I screwed up a little. Snyde didn't have my bike brought back. Christian did. I guess his note blew off or something. *She finishes off the drink and places the glass on the bar.*

Christian Gallagher: He looks to Sha-Sha with a warm smile. "It's all good."

Christian Gallagher: ((That being a response to the apology upon coming back.))

Alexander Donovan: Alex chuckles a bit and winks at Christian. "Thanks. Was considering putting it in the back of my vehicle, but didn't want to ding it up. Saved us a trip back here."

Sha-Sha: ((*L* I figured *W* BRB again...sorry boss being impatient.))

Alexander Donovan: ((That's ok. Work is important. Can't be online without the money to pay for the connection or at least the job that has one.))

Christian Gallagher: "Happy to do so." He says it in that way to make it seem as if it wasn't a big deal. "Anything I can do to help."

Kaitlyn Kelly: Passing through on her way home, definitely a late night for her, still wound up a little. Passing by the coatcheck first, she heads out to the dance floor. Dressed unusually simple tonight and not in one of her dancing costumes, she has on a dark blue bustier and matching blue leather pants riding low down on her hips, still wearing the rainbow belly ring, her long wavy brunette hair worn lose and down to her waist is streaked in dark blue as well. Makeup is simple with a dark black eyeliner to bring out her brown eyes a bit.

Sha-Sha: ((And back again. *L* He just wanted a door unlocked))

Christian Gallagher: ((Sure you can. Just gotta figure out how to pull off that "Create Massive Amounts of Money" Rote. *G*))

Christian Gallagher: "In Your Room is a good one," he agrees to Tony. "Great song to mix."

antonio pavlatos: He grows quiet again, and glances down the bar.

Alexander Donovan: Tony: "Annnnddd..?"

antonio pavlatos: d10: Perc+Alert: 4,2,7,4,9,2,1,

Alexander Donovan: ((*Yay!))

Sha-Sha: *She waves at the bartender to get a second drink. Same thing as before. Something strong but very tasty.*

Alexander Donovan: d10: Blinded again?: 8,8,10,4,9,

Sha-Sha: d10: per+alert: 9,6,7,4,

antonio pavlatos: And too much smoke in the room for him to see that well tonight, and he gives Christian another little smile and a nod of his head. At Alexander's prompting he ducks his head, "'n Closer by the Nails."

Kaitlyn Kelly: She lets the music give her the inner beat she listens to whenever she dances her and with herself. The quick Latino beat was coming quickly to her, she was ready for her own improvised Argentinian tango, full of the passion, sensuality and rhythm that went with it.

Alexander Donovan: Alex sees so many people in here that are regulars, but one stands out. He waves at Kaitlyn when she walks in the door.

Sha-Sha: *Wow, she's on a roll tonight. She waves over in Kaitlyn's direction, standing with the three gorgeous guys.*

Sha-Sha: You guys want anything to drink?

Kaitlyn Kelly: She does catch sight of them and waves before she starts to dance ((didn't see the posts before I did mind and didn't refresh first like I should have.))

Lurker: (open?)

Alexander Donovan: Sha: "Hmm.. A Tequila Sunrise sounds good right now."

Alexander Donovan: ((ya))

Christian Gallagher: He chuckles and nods. "Closer's also good, though not my usual style. I tend to go along with the less industrial-sounding stuff. Though I do use Closer to God on occasion."

Sha-Sha: ((Come on in Lurker! The water's fine! *G*))

antonio pavlatos: (yes :) He looks to Alexander before answering.

Sha-Sha: *She nods and adds a Tequila Sunrise to the order and looks at Tony and Christian.*

Alexander Donovan: Alex pats Tony's shoulder reassuringly. "What do you want?"

Christian Gallagher: d10: Per+Alert: 7,4,5,4,2,

antonio pavlatos: "Warmed wine, Mtolo, please."

Christian Gallagher: Christian seems fine with his beer at the moment. He looks around, only vaguely noting someone new on the dance floor. Is that the good dancer?

Kaitlyn Kelly: She continues dancing, moving in and out among the others dancing, and in such a good mood, finding a willing male partner for the rest of the song to pull in to the tango dance with her. By the time they finish, after all the quick moves back and forth, she just blows him a kiss as she moves on for another dance again by herself.

antonio pavlatos: He murmurs then to Christian, "Think they got a dozen differen' ones of it, 'n Sin too."

Sha-Sha: *She adds the warmed wine, pays and passes out the drinks as they are given to her.*

Kaitlyn Kelly -> Christian Gallagher: ((They've met before briefly. Wasn't sure if you'd remembered that or not.))

Ziahl: Walks in. The light caught her features just so, and for a moment, there was no denying you were in the presence of something inexplicable: the archetype Nubian queen in NY. It was ludicrous of course. Material for a B comedy with Eddy Murphy as the sidekick. Still the mahogany skin looked like mocha cream silk, and those amber eyes, golden when the light touched them at just the right angle. Maybe you just imagined it. Her nose is straight and wide, a strong feature that somehow manages to fit nicely above full, thick lips which could only have been crafted by cupid. Her cheek bones are sculpted high above a strong jaw. Nobility has replaced delicacy in her features, and something about her simply breathes of strength and passion. (pic in gallery, last page)

Sha-Sha: *Then she downs her drink.* I think I'm going to go dance, guys. *She heads out onto the dance floor.* ((Gotta go do a review test with boss. BBASAP))

Christian Gallagher -> Kaitlyn Kelly: ((I didn't, thank you for reminding me.))

antonio pavlatos: (*hugs poor Kittie*)

Alexander Donovan: Alex takes a sip off his own. "So, any suggestions as to where I should look for a good hall to rent for our dance party?"

Christian Gallagher: "Mmmm, Sin. Now there's one I can sink my teeth into and really let loose with." He looks to Sha-Sha and nods to her with a smile.

Kaitlyn Kelly -> Christian Gallagher: ((It's okay. I do keep pretty good track of remembering most people that this character's met luckily since she hangs in totally different circles and is more of my social butterfly. :) ))

Alexander Donovan: d10: see Ziahl?: 6,3,4,4,3,

Sha-Sha: d10: dance b i go: 2,9,7,6,6,4,7,

Ziahl: Strolls leisurely through the crowd, heading towards the back, where the day beds are.

Alexander Donovan: Sha: "Have fun, I know I will watching you." And Alex does lean back, watching the dance floor, scoping a bit. Apparently too distracted to see someone else he knows walk in the door.

Sha-Sha: *So she's at it again, impressing the locals.* ((Poofs for review test))

antonio pavlatos: He gives Christian another little smile, then shifts his eyes to see where Kaitlyn went before scanning the room again.

antonio pavlatos: d10: try again?: 3,10,10,6,7,7,9,

Kaitlyn Kelly: d10: abil apt cult dance: 2,9,7,10,5,7,2,6,

antonio pavlatos: d10: : 6,2,

Ziahl: Eyes the dance floor. Nice crowd.

Kaitlyn Kelly: She is dancing up a storm moving around the floor, this time preferring to solo freestyle, so graceful and fluid, making it look so easy while she dances.

Christian Gallagher: He mirrors Alex's gaze, watching Sha-Sha as she dances. Though Kaitlyn certainly gets a quick glance, eyes appreciative of her talents, before he looks back over to Sha.

antonio pavlatos: And he manages to catch sight of Kaitlyn, and Ziahl, and oh yeah, the beer stain on the one guy's groin.

Alexander Donovan: ((OK, time for me to get a soda))

Kaitlyn Kelly: ((*lol* re: beer stain..nice roll :)))

Ziahl: Kaitlyn is looking like eye candy out there, and she pauses to watch. Her own dancing has been growing less and less structured of late, as she absorbs more human culture.

antonio pavlatos: (Yeah, used up the good rolls noticing stuff, he'll fall on his rear now when I roll his dancing! lol)

antonio pavlatos: He watches both women, but his eyes stay mainly on Kaitlyn as if attempting to memorize her movements.

antonio pavlatos: He nuzzles Alexander's shoulder when he doesn't seem to notice Ziahl, catching his eye and motions towards her.

Alexander Donovan: Tony: "Would you like to go out and strut your stuff?"

Alexander Donovan: And at the nuzzle, Alex waves to Ziahl from their spot at the bar.

Ziahl: Glances towards the bar when someone waves, and heads that way, greeting Alex and Tony with a bright smile and hugs.

Christian Gallagher: He looks over in Ziahl's direction briefly, but really more just paying attention to the dancing goth girl in red.

Alexander Donovan: Chris: "I like this place more and more every time I show up."

antonio pavlatos: He smiles, getting his wine and taking a sip of it. "Yes, Mtolo."

Kaitlyn Kelly: Although leather moves very well for her, she was still getting used to it making her more warm than she was used to, even if she was from the warmer climes. It just didn't breath and keep her cool like her other dancing outfits. Time for a breather.

Christian Gallagher: "Yeah, it really grows on you," he says to Alexander with an easy, friendly nod.

Christian Gallagher: "Definitely my favorite place to spin."

Alexander Donovan: Alex returns the hug with a nod, letting go of Tony so they can both give Ziahl a hug.

Kaitlyn Kelly: Kait makes it back to the bar, and orders up a bottled water.

Ziahl: Nods to Chris. Tony> "Will you dance with me tonight?"

Alexander Donovan: Kait: "Hey there, you still up to give Tony some lessons?"

antonio pavlatos: He gives Kaitlyn a little smile.

Kaitlyn Kelly: She nods to Alexander. "Certainly. All free."

Christian Gallagher: ((AHHH! Sudden...behind eyes...pain. Christian stays there, his attention on Sha-Sha, and eventually leaves. Sorry, guys, my brain is telling me it's time to go to bed, and punishing me for not doing so. Most masochistic of it.))

Ziahl: Leans against the bar, comfortably slipping an arm around Alex. She hasn't been here in a while. It feels good.

Ziahl: ((Awww, good night.))

antonio pavlatos: (Night then, go take care of yourself!) He nods to Ziahl, "Yes, Ma-am"

Christian Gallagher -> Ziahl: ((Which, of course, puts a pause or fade to Shiva/Alice. Sorry, hon. *Hugs*))

Ziahl -> Christian Gallagher: ((No worries, get some rest.))
