Log;

The Blue Light is decorated; it's got it's usual jazz style but tonight there's some more to it; curtains and tables all look a little bit dated, because they are. Where Blue and Promise found the furnishings for this particular party is something that both of them won't tell, but it looks terrific.

There are corners to hide in and corners to party in, and good music and good booze. It's a party!

Tony waved to Blue between sets, glad to see his boss enjoying himself. There were quite a few people waiting to mingle with Blue and congratulate him on Blue Light reaching the one year mark, so Tony didn't do more then wave.

He figured Blue would make his way over to the bar eventually and he could give his own congratulations.

Blue smiled when he saw Tony wave, and he waved back. It was a bit off, a little, to see Tony without Lee, even after all the month he had been back. It had been even more off to see Tony and know that Tony didn't know who the Corinthian was. It wasn't off-putting, it was just...strange. Like a stranger.

But that didn't bother Blue, even though he would like a friend who knew who Cori was and what Cori did and would maybe not think about what he did to try and save his relationship. But that was impossible, maybe, so Blue didn't expect it. Instead he sidled over to the bar when he found the time and gave Tony a nod. "Hey," he said. "Pour me one." Virgin, please, as usual.

Tony mixed Blue a drink without alcohol (he figured that it didn't go well with playing the trumpet and singing, Zev had said something about that once) and placed it in front of Blue with a smile.

"You look good," he said, meaning it earnestly. Unlike Tony in his get-up, Blue actually wore his 20's styled clothes like he belonged in them. And, from what Tony knew of Blue so far, he probably did. Sometimes it was weird to think about the mish-mash of people from different times here in the City.

"Everyone so far seems to be enjoying themselves. I think we can call the party a success."

Considering that every time Blue got smashed it always seemed to result in something odd happening - the last occurrence being when he and Peter had too much tequila and Peter confessed about Caspian (of course, a previous Peter, as he's pretty sure the current Peter has no memory of this event) Blue felt it a better idea not to drink. He didn't need to wake up in the morning with a battle plan of how to storm the Prison in three moves or less in one hand and a sword in the other.

"Thanks," he said, earnestly. He actually much preferred this kind of clothing - and it even had little blue b-flat notes embroidered into the buttonholes.

He took a look around and nodded. "I certainly think so, people getting taken to prison non withstanding."

Since two of his friends were having problems with alcohol at the moment (although Chuck would probably swear up and down that he didn't have a problem), Tony wasn't at all opposed to fixing virgin drinks for a while. It had never been his drug of choice anyway.

He frowned at the mention of the sudden arrests of so many people. It didn't seem right and who were these guys taking prisoners to the jail anyway? The police force didn't seem to be behind it.

"Yeah, well hopefully no one tries to bust this place. After all, we aren't really in the prohibition era."

Blue took a sip and smiled, and pulled a tin of comfit from his pocket. "Great," he said, and took one, and let it sit on his tongue for a moment, before the next words that Tony said actually sunk in.

He sighed, then. "I don't think they will, and if they do, I'll go without a fuss. I'm not having them interrupt this party just because they want to arrest people." He shook his head. "I don't get it. This doesn't seem like a curse to me."

[darkest0knight.livejournal.com]

"If it's not a curse, then what is it?" Tony worried out loud. "Some underground group involved with the prison? The Warden gone nuts?"

He hadn't seen Victory since he got back and that alarmed him too, although he did think that maybe she was with Henry. He didn't begrudge the two their time together but he wished they'd leave notes.

IDK why I didn't see this before ~__~

"I don't know," Blue said, quietly. "But don't worry about it, okay? If it's a curse it'll be over soon enough and if it isn't...." Blue trails that off. If it isn't, maybe Blue will be getting drunk instead of sleeping the night on his haystack mattress. Or back home.

Now he has Alice to think about.

Let's just blame it on lj

"Let's not think to much about it tonight anyway," Tony conceded, though he wouldn't promise not to worry at all. Getting busted by the cops and hauled off to jail had always been something he tried to avoid, sometimes unsuccessfully. But this wasn't the time or the place to rehash old fears.

"The band's sounding great. You can tell everyone's putting their heart into it."

It's the kind of thing Zev would have loved and talked his ear off about and tried to remix into 1920's Darkest Night episodes. Flapper vampires. It was absurd enough to be brilliant if the writing wasn't so horrible.

I'm all for that

"They worked really hard," Blue said, pride clearly shining through his voice. "I'm really glad that they all volunteered," he added, just a thought.

Blue actually hadn't met Zev; although he knew who he was. "I'm just glad that the staff looks like they're having a good time," he said after a moment. "Because if you guys couldn't stand the music I don't know what I would do."

"Add earplugs to the uniform?" Tony joked with a grin. "Seriously Blue, this is the best time I've had in ages."
