[manyadenouement]

When: December 4th
Rating: PG-13 (well it is a strip club)
Characters: Nathan and anyone who comes to the opening of She'ol
Summary: Nathan's new business opens for business
Log:

The opening of She'ol was a grand event, the lights of the building brightening up the Underground and twinkling on the walls and ceiling above it. It was a beautiful and classy establishment to behold and one wouldn't realize it was a strip club upon first review. It invited the world to come in and visit...

However, people were being turned away for not having their Grand Opening invitations. After this day, anyone could come but it was essential to have that invitation to get inside.

And once inside people were treated to a stunning entrance and the best of service to take coats. The bar is just waiting for someone to come forward but if that didn't interest people then there were always the different stages where one could watch the dancers perform and even a few private rooms for better shows.

It was a rule that no one could touch the dancers though. It was important to remember that in order to keep limbs intact.

[ooc: She'ol is open for business. Meant to get this up last night but forgot. Anyway, you are free to assume your character got one of the invitations to get inside since they weren't that hard to get hold of. Remember that it is a strip club so there are strippers (male, female, etc.) dancing at any given time. Enjoy!]

[ she'd been promised a drink, but she's enjoying the club. As always, her Nathan knows how to put on a show. But, this isn't hers to take over. No, this is just Diva, eying the guests and looking for the most tasty looking morsel.

At least, until Nathan shows her the special guests in the back ♥ ]

[indecent_butterfly]

[Ne's not surprised at all that Diva actually showed up for the opening, it would have been disappointing if she hadn't actually.

It wouldn't be polite not to check on such an important guest.]

Enjoying yourself tonight?

[byherscore]

[ she turned and gave Hatter a half-sided look ] You're here?

[ she should have guessed. Nathan always did have rather peculiar tastes. ]

Are you here to dance? [ her gaze flicked to the poles and then back to Hatter. Someday, she'll care enough to peg him down. ]

[indecent_butterfly]

Where else would One be on such a night?

[Ne does fill several peculiar tastes for many, but Nathan wouldn't find nem satisfactory for his.\

Someone else might take offense at the implication, but ne is who, what, ne is there is no denying it. There's a small shrug as it makes no difference.]

If needed. Or requested.

[byherscore]

[ she laughed then and leaned in close, flicking at his hat. ] Do you like him then?

[ Nathan, of course. Mr. Mad Hatter seems to always pop up when one of the other of her chevaliers are nearby... How interesting. ]

[indecent_butterfly]

[Well, ne has technically slept with two of them...or just Karl and Karl in Solomon's body.]

One does not believe he would find this One as interesting. This One is not male after all.

[byherscore]

[ tsk, she does so hope they left a scratch &heart; ]

Hmm... [ she tilts her head, considering. ] There are ways to like someone. [ Nathan liked her after all. Although she was special. ]

[indecent_butterfly]

[Ne does have rather impressive nails...]

Ah. Then yes, One supposes One does like him. He is not disagreeable in any case.

[byherscore]

[ she latches onto an arm then, stealing ne away. ] Do you count him as friend? Foe?

[ she smiled sharply, drawing in a deep breath before... ] Are you lunch? [ whatever taste Nathan's may be, one never forgot (easily) just who they were. ]

[indecent_butterfly]

[Whatever Diva, you can't really steal something that isn't anyone's to begin with. Still ne doesn't pull away but walks with her.

Friend is a funny idea still and ne only has a few ne considers enough to be enemies.] Acquaintance.

[And Karl is not that stupid, to feed off a devil, why would Nathan be so?] No, One is most certainly not to his taste that way either. There has only been one here in the City to try this One's blood--you should ask him if it's any good.

[Although that was a few drops and willingly given. Very few would be so lucky to get any more.]

[byherscore]

[ of course she can. She just doesn't ever let him go ] And who was that? [ she doesn't care for opinions other then her own but curious is something else. ]

[manyadenouement]

[And Nathan comes up to his beautiful queen to kiss her hand.]

Diva~ I'm so glad you could come. Would you like a snack?

[byherscore]

[ she smiled instantly, face illuminating at Nathan's presence. ]

Do you have something fresh? [ no offense to Karl, but his taste in meals was not always... the best. ]

[manyadenouement]

In a variety of flavors. [He holds his arm out for her.]

Shall we?

[byherscore]

[ she takes it, gladly and leans against the arm as well. ]

Hmmm... you always did know my taste. [ which is half the reason she trusted him explicitly ]

because this needed to be done

[majorcrotchgrab]

[Hmm. She looks like the woman he's seen around the mansion a few times but never approached. Until now. He cautious walks towards her, trying not to make it obvious he's studying her. She certainly is beautiful, he'll give her that... but what exactly is it about her that makes her a queen?

Nevertheless, when he's close enough, he offers a charming smile and holds out his hand to gently take her's]

You must be.. Miss Diva?

yes, yes it did

[byherscore]

[ she turns slightly, staring at the hand and turning her nose up at it. ]

And you are?

[ not she cared all that much, but Nathan did ask her to play nice. No blood on the stage. ]

[majorcrotchgrab]

[... Not a good way to make a good first impression, Diva. Especially considering how misogynist the Russian can be.

Raikov tries his hardest to remain smiling as he lowers his rejected hand]

Ivan Raidenovitch Raikov. Nathan's lover.

[byherscore]

[ she smiled then, leaning in close to run a hand across his jacket, fingering the edges. ]

Are you? He's never mentioned one to me.

[ but then again, Nathan had so many lovers in the past. What was one more to add to the bed post? Nothing ]

[majorcrotchgrab]

[Oh, is she testing his patience. The corner of his mouth twitches and he clenches his hands at his sides, his knuckles white. He doesn't believe Nathan forgot to mention him on purpose... perhaps he's just been too busy.]

Huh. I find that odd that he didn't inform you.

[QUESTIONING THE QUEEN? Yup.]

[byherscore]

[ she shrugged ]

What he does, is his own. [ so long as she gets everything she wants, who cares? ] Are you the only one, or are there others?

[ there's been so many over the years. She can hardly count. ]

[majorcrotchgrab]

Just me.

[He's glancing at the bar. He needs a drink and badly.]

[byherscore]

[ starting to get cold feet, hm? Diva won't stop him. After all, it is a bar. ]

Ah... then he must really like you.

[ she smiled sharply, raking him over critically ]

I guess you'll do.

[ at the lest, he holds little temptation for Diva. She prefers her men... young ]

[majorcrotchgrab]

[His eyes meet with Diva's and he glares at her intensely]

I don't need your approval.

[To which he excuses himself without even saying so and goes to hit the bar]

[byherscore]

[ she laughed then and trailed after him. Honestly, Nathan's lovers are always so cute when they're flustered. ]

You don't? But if you want to stay with him forever you might need my help.

[ she'd do it, if Nathan asked. But only if. ]
