[NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo

[Halae]

Cabaret

"I would not hesitate to call it fortuitous, good lady. Might I know the name of my buyer, or would you prefer it if I just called you Mistress?" Dionysius has perfected his cheeky smile just for this occasion. He gives Haruki a nod as they pass each other on stage, and then falls into step behind and slightly to the left of Integrity, as is proper.

[Cabaret

"I'm called Integrity, of course. We have a few interesting things to discuss that you might find to your liking." Integrity's hips sway seductively, potentially giving a suggestion to what her words mean.

[Lady Serpentine]

Jezebel and Kyranis

Jezebel frowns at the thought. She had hoped someone exciting was going to win her, but it appeared that she was going to end up spending her days with someone quite the opposite. Even so, she forces her slight smile to return. "At dawn tomorrow, I am yours for 48 hours. Use the time wisely."

Well, she's not exactly giving him any clues as to what, exactly, she was hoping for in someone who won her, and being from another universe and only recently transported here, he's not even that familiar with the Masks, especially given their secrecy. So he's being fairly cautious just because of that, and he'd still be reasonably so even if she were; given the amount fighting between and inside the Sorcerous Houses, he's not at all certain that a mage didn't influence him to buy her, especially because he's somewhat important in House Ostrim.

In any case, his Bond-Mate smiles curiously at Jezebel, examining her closely, and extending a hand, presumably to shake.

"Good. You look even better here than you did up there. I was hoping you weren't foolish enough to use illusions, or something like them... As for your request, you can be sure we will, once we've had time to learn enough about you to know what we can ask of you."

Dave's Auction

Kevin returns Dani's wave, then watches Dave's performance. ... 300 gp.

Cabaret

"Integrity, I am quite certain your are full of interesting things to discuss." Dionysius certainly does appreciate the calibre of woman who has snatched him up. He was expecting Lanthil or perhaps Dani to win the bid, but the air of intrigue surrounding this mysterious woman who would go so far to snatch him up.

"And I'm nothing if not open to discussion, although I can think of much better things to fill the limited time you have me than words." Dionysius' swagger may take her looking back at him to notice, but it is every bit as impressive as Integrity's sultry sway.

[Halae]

[Cabaret]

Integrity grins as she looks back towards Dio, "Part of what you're suggesting, at least, is certainly likely to happen. The talking comes first though, 'kay?"

"As a matter of fact..." Integrity will look towards Grace, "If you wouldn't mind leaving a note for my boss or something, we could go right now, and you could spirit me away to a place you find more... comfortable."

[Mindfreak]

Dave's Auction
Dave seems to be soaking himself with the water now, and has began dancing.
...
He's rather fantastic at dancing. Especially with the water all over his torso.

[Slii Arhem]

Cabaret

"I simply couldn't Mistress Integrity. You see, there are two others in the crowd that I have a responsibility to, and should I abandon the event I would be remiss in that responsibility." Despite his rather serious tone and somber words, Dionysius takes out a business card from his case and pens a short note on the back, the duplicate of which should appear on the note Grace is in possession of.

"Of course, now that you've bought me, should you give me an order, I'd have no choice but to find a suitable location and leave this event behind with you in tow, milady." Dionysius gives a sorrowful shrug, as if the fact that he was now bound to another is the worst possible thing that could happen to him. The delighted twinkle in his eyes and slow grin forming on his cheeks says otherwise though.

[Halae]

[Cabaret]

Integrity taps her chin for a moment, pretending to think it over, "why, I do believe I will make that an order," she moves closer to the god. Close enough to touch, should he choose. but she does not touch him just yet.

[Ashen Lilies]

...
>.>
<.<

Kal "Booooooo"s loudly at Dave, slamming his own water bottle on to the bar. Bastard stole his idea!
"You suck!" He calls out.

[Gullara]

[Dena and Kirk]

Kirk's hand darts up to grab her hand before she can poke him. He rolls his eyes, but doesn't seem all that irritated. "I felt just fine. Nothing all that odd, aside from the obvious." Thankfully he wasn't a woman for very long.

[happyturtle]

Moff is considering bidding on Dave, but then Kal boos him. That settles that. Moff doesn't want Kal to be unhappy at the Hot Guy party!

"Hi Haruki! I won you AND Butler! Isn't that awesome?"

"Then my two attendees will just have to fend for themselves. More's the pity, I suppose." Dio extends an arm in a gentlemanly fashion, making sure to lightly brush his elbow up against hers, unless she moves out of the way.

"I shall have to escort you to the gate then, where we can make our egress. It wouldn't do to test my mettle against the security of our host's establishment." And, should she thread her arm through his, he'll begin leading her to the door.

[Shadowcaller]

[Dena and Kirk]

Dena eyes Kirk, "Alright, did I go too far there?" She asks him, all her amusement washed away.

[Haruki-kun]

[General auction]

The Angel looks at Dave, using the water to make his muscles stand out. ".....damn. I should have done that."

Moff is considering bidding on Dave, but then Kal boos him. That settles that. Moff doesn't want Kal to be unhappy at the Hot Guy party!

"Hi Haruki! I won you AND Butler! Isn't that awesome?"

Haruki gets off the stage and goes up to Moff. "Hey, congratulations on winning me, buddy! You wouldn't happen to have seen my shirt anywhere, would you?"

[Gullara]

[Dena and Kirk]

Kirk chuckles and shakes his head. "Nah. I'm thick skinned enough to put up with all your teasing, don't you worry." The drow gives her a wry grin. He actually quite enjoys spending time with her, even if she does take more than a few jabs at him.

[Shadowcaller]

[Dena and Kirk]

"Huh, that's a relief. Almost afraid I pissed you off there. My old adventure pals always got tired of my teasing eventually." She chuckles a bit as well.

[Gullara]

[Dena and Kirk]

"It takes a truly remarkable person to put up with you for too long. You're lucky I fill the requirements." Kirk says jokingly. "I'm sure your old friends didn't kow what they were talking abut anyway."

[Cabaret]

Integrity will indeed allow Dionysius to take her arm as they head towards the door.

[The Bushranger]

Dani oohs, aahs, and looking like she might swoon.

...she doesn't up her bid though...

[Slii Arhem]

[Cabaret]

Integrity will indeed allow Dionysius to take her arm as they head towards the door.

Cabaret -> Exit

As they step out the front door, perhaps pausing for Integrity to retrieve anything she might have left at the coat and weapon check, the scene outside the Casino changes rather radically. Instead of a typical, if well lit red zone street, a forest stretches out before their eyes.

"I do hope the location I have chosen will suit your needs, Mistress Integrity. If not, I am nothing except adaptable." This particular forest is unique, in being a very new, very vibrant Grove.

Dave's Auction
RRRRRIIIIIP!

Dave just ripped his pants off, revealing a black banana hammock. After soaking himself some more with his water bottle, he continues his dancing.
Hot damn, Dave! You're on fire tonight!

[Artemis97]

[Dave's Auction]

Raril happens to glance up at the stage and immediately regrets it. More out of instinct than anything, The drow waves a hand to drop a globe of magical darkness over Dave.

"I'll pay you 500 if he puts his pants back on!"

Beside him, Brie was blushing and trying to suppress a giggle.

[Mindfreak]

Dave's Auction
As the globe of darkness descends on Dave it dissipates.
And the dancing continues.
The HAWT, HAWT, dancing.

[Shadowcaller]

[Dave's Auction]

Dena is about to reply to that when she finally notices Dave, I mean, it's rather hard to not notice him at this point. "Hey, maybe you can learn something from that kid, Kirk." She says, pointing at the dancing ninja doctor. "He's really going all out... maybe overselling it a bit though." She comments once she glances up at the stage again.

[Ashen Lilies]

...
At this point Kal's expression can probably be best summed up as...





Meanwhile, KR becomes very interested in staring at a table. Or a chair. Or anywhere that is not the stage, for that matter.

Lanthil just shakes her head.
"501 gp! So I can teach this poor fellow some subtlety!"

[Gullara]

She says, pointing at the dancing ninja doctor. "He's really going all out... maybe overselling it a bit though." She comments once she glances up at the stage again.

Kirk looks up and immediately regrets doing so. He swiftly averts his gaze back to Dena. "I really didn't need to see that. There's showing off, then there's that."

[Shadowcaller]

[Dave's Auction]

"He might be trying a bit too hard but hey, at least he get a few bets to quit right?" Dena replies with a small smile. "Hopefully there are some other choices."

[Gullara]

[Dave's Auction]

"I'm not sure you can count that as a success." Kirk shakes his head. What he has seen he can never unsee. "I imagine you'll have a couple more to choose from." He's hoping he will as well.

[UncleWolf]

Jezebel and Kyranis

"I lack magic to do so and wouldn't if I had." She says with a hint of a smile. "I also don't use make-up, for what it's worth. And aside from what I said on stage, there isn't a whole lot for anyone to know." Jezebel adds.

And maybe Jezebel expected that anyone who had bid on her had a reason in mind for doing so, even if it's just to take advantage of her looks.

Dave's Auction

As soon as the count finishes, Tualth slams her hammer as quickly as possible. "Now, if you could come on up and get your prize, we'll mop up the floor and proceed. Maybe in even more of a Price is Right fashion if more bidders are willing to come forward." Assuming the "lucky" Lanthil does so, a Red Mask comes out with a mop and cleans up the floor before the auction continues.

"Kal! Come on up and show off! Hopefully in a bit more tasteful fashion than Dave did."

[happyturtle]

Yay! Kal!

Moff is about to bid, then realizes he has spend all his money. He goes to find Taul. "Hey... about that loan..."
