Summary; It's been a 4th Wall tradition to open up the Blue Light for mingling between the masses since even before Rosella took charge of it, and she certainly doesn't see any reason to change that tradition anytime soon.
Log;


The lucky thing about the days when the visitors come is that they do follow a sort of pattern--once per season, or thereabouts, the floodgates open and the tidal wave of unfamiliar faces comes pouring into the city to mingle about for a weekend. It's not predictable the way that some things are predictable, but for someone who's lived in the City for four and a half years now (and she has), it gets to be...well, anticipated, at the least. The last time everyone had come around was in November, and it'd been a fair few months since, and now spring was drawing nearer with every day and--oh, we haven't seen the visitors come about in a while, have we?

So while the Blue Light isn't precisely prepared for the rush of chattering guests, it's still certainly better off than it might've been. Nearly a year of practice at running things has made Rosella considerably more confident in the way she manages her staff, and the usual affairs of business are running about as smoothly as anyone could expect. Drinks are poured, laughter fills the air, and the band is doing an admirable job of setting the mood with a selection of swing classics (and a swing arrangement of Greensleeves, out of secret self-indulgence) that keep a fond and reminiscent smile solidly on Rosella's face.

So come on in, take a load off, try the food, have a drink; if you're feeling so inspired, head on over to the open space cleared near the band and try to catch a pretty partner for a dance. And if you're looking for Rosella, well, she'll be behind the bar practicing her drink-mixing and taking the time out to chat with anyone willing to stop and say hello.

I don't think they take bribes, no.

[She pokes moodily at her drink, one red-painted nail over the end of the straw.]

Sometimes I think if the wedding hadn't--

[Pause.]

...I don't know why they think I can't do it on my own, Stevie.

[personal profile] team_captain 2013-02-17 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
You'll never be on your own, anyway.

[As if Steve wouldn't be there with her]

They want to protect you. I want to protect you, too. But I know that this isn't something that you need protection from.

I don't think they'll let you stuff me in a duffel bag and take me into the barracks with you.

Grandmother doesn't want me to be a tough corporate slugger, I know. But company politics can't possibly be more cutthroat than high school.
worldhopper: (SNEAKY ❀ i will end all those you love)

To stuff me in a duffel bag?

[personal profile] team_captain 2013-02-17 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure. It can't be that hard.
worldhopper: (GUM ❀ and a little bit of swagger)

[personal profile] worldhopper 2013-02-17 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I think my shoes would punch through the...what are they made of, anyway? Canvas? Rayon? It doesn't matter, these are stilettos.

[personal profile] team_captain 2013-02-17 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
It would make it so I don't have to worry about Finnick Odair anymore....
worldhopper: (BITCHPLZ ❀ also your shoes are ugly)

[personal profile] worldhopper 2013-02-17 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Why would you be worried about Finnick Odair in the first place?

[personal profile] team_captain 2013-02-17 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn't everyone?
worldhopper: (HAT ❀ there she goes again)

[personal profile] worldhopper 2013-02-17 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
He doesn't even go here.

[personal profile] team_captain 2013-02-17 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Doesn't seem to stop anyone.
