Let's Party Like It's 1999- Bar Opening in the Nexus [OPEN POST]

[angelic_asshole]

It had been a time coming but finally Balthazar's bar "The Angel's Retreat" was open for business having been stocked up fully with drinks of all shapes, sizes and colours. Standing at the bar area is the owner, wings out and clutching a glass of Lucifer's finest angel booze. Scotch to be precise but at angel strength. The certain bottles of gut rot were locked up within a drinks cabinet behind the bar with only Balthazar being able to open it. The stuff was lethal to non-immortals and not wanting to poison potential customers, safety had to be upheld.

[ooc: Just pick which part of the club your character will visit and Balthazar will respond to both.]


The Bar Area:

(Pictures of the bar can be found here.)

Feel free to mingle here with one another and indulge in conversation and order your drinks here. Balthazar will be on hand to deliver whatever your heart's desire so chooses. Whether it be the strongest drink to the less lethal non-alcoholic varieties. Along with drinks there are also bowls of snacks positioned along the length of the bar including; crisps, potato chips (tortillas and the like), pickles, peanuts and other aperitifs.



The Nightclub and dance floor:

(Picture of the dance floor can be found here.)

If you are tired of ordering drinks or chatting then have no fear. If you walk into the backroom of the bar you will find a night club area, complete with a dance floor and DJ in the corner offering up a wide range of music. He also takes requests, so feel free to ask. That, or Balthazar will arrange something for your tastes. There is also a pole with a woman, or man, binding himself around it, offering up quite the show for any eager enthusiasts. It depends on what time of day you frequent the club. If it's evening then the pole dancer will be here showing of their moves. The dance floor is open all day.

Jack's brow cocked up at the lack of response to what he did. It was unusual but he's slowly getting used to being accepted at face value.

"I've got appointments for my kids there next week." He smiles a bit. "Back home they can't see doctors or get treated for anything. I do my best but I'm not a doctor."

Well maybe he had been before but he sure the hell can't remember any of it.

Aside from the building climbing - which Jack even billed as being necessary for survival - that world of his sounded like some kind of nightmare.

Minoru asked, far too innocently, “Why not?”

[apocalypsejack]

"The world governement; the ministries and parties, require citizen uniformity. Deviants are vaporized... or killed and people without fully capable bodies are killed."

Despite the horror of what he is saying Jack is completely calm. This was his reality. "My younger two have disabilities and my oldest is a deviant like me. They ran away when thier parents scheduled them to be vaporized." Jack sighs and his whole right side from patch down to his fingertips starts to quake. "I went through it. I don't remember anything before five years ago when I escaped. I think most of my personality stayed intact but Hannah, my girlfriend.. or used to be... her mind doesn't work at all anymore."

[itmeanstruth]

Correction, that world WAS a nightmare. And it was frightening to hear him speak about it so non-chalantly.

Minoru gulped. He didn’t know what it meant to be vaporized, but when Jack spoke about Hannah’s current condition, he got the idea. Those children would be dead if he wasn’t there to take them in and support them. Future children might die if he didn’t stay.

“I’m sorry.” His heart went out to Jack. Minoru put his hand on the trembling shoulder, as if he could shoulder just a fraction of the tremendous weight. “Is there anything I can do? Anything that they need? ...anything you need?”

Oh, he was definitely going to be bringing them some holiday cheer.

(And now he also knew the risk of getting caught.)

Jack put his hand over Minoru's. He could see the upset in the man because his job took skills other than those in the bedroom. He leaned to read people pretty well over time.

"We get by." Jack says confidently. "I can get everything we need working. I trade myservices for what we need and the Ministry people have an abundance of everything."

[itmeanstruth]

That might have been the truth, but it was a hard truth. And Minoru wore that big heart of his on his sleeve.

“This round is on me.” He smiled, and lifted his mug. “To new friends in high places. Literally.”

[apocalypsejack]

Jack laughs and wraps his arm around Minoru's shoulder. "You don't have to pay. The owner's my partner but I'm glad for the offer."

Jack lifts his glass and smiles. "All the high places."
