It's like paradise, spread out with a butter knife :: [OPEN]

Who: EVERYONE
What: Réjean has decided that more people ought to celebrate and help raise a bit of dosh for one of his favourite bars. See: flyer.
Where: The Apache.
When: Misdi night and into the wee hours of the morning.
Warnings: Discussion of Pickman's manky feet.

The Apache is much the same as it always is: dimly lit, with the jukebox playing in the background, and the bartender serving whatever's on tap. Tonight, the bar is packed with people from all across the city, different cantons and cohorts, all out to celebrate surviving the fungal plague. Patrons are encouraged to buy tickets for a door prize with the proceeds going to repair the damage tunnelling ants made to the cellar.

Adrian couldn't care less about pool, but he spies Lex over by the tables and so makes his way through the crowd. Giving the outfit an approving nod (not that it requires his approval, but that doesn't stop him from offering it), he smiles inquiringly at the man.

"Should I bet on you or against you?"

"I'm surprised you have to ask," Lex says with an amused raise of the eyebrow. He doesn't need to brag about himself when he can let his own playing speak for him.

Adrian may have given him a compliment, but Lex takes it a step further by vocalizing his own. "I like your choice of ensemble today. I don't think I've seen it before." There may not be a competition between them exactly, but he is still keeping score.

He gives a little shrug and a smile, as if to suggest he was trolling Lex more than anything else.

The complimentary words earn Lex a wider, more pleased smile, and a nod of Adrian's head. "Thank you. It's new, I haven't really had the appropriate opportunity to wear it before now." Some might say this isn't an appropriate setting for that kind of outfit, but this is a man who doesn't even own a t-shirt.
patricide: (not a comic book villain)

Oh, Lex knows it's trolling. That doesn't mean he won't talk himself up anyway.

"It's a shame that there hasn't been a party until now," Lex counters, giving the outfit another glance before continuing with the conversation. "Though considering your taste in decor I wouldn't have expected to see you in this kind of environment."
defenestration: (don't be distractive)

Adrian doesn't quite preen under the look he's given, but he's obviously enjoying the attention his outfit in bringing him.

"As I told Miss Black, it's not the venue I'd have chosen, but it's one we were offered." He cocks his head at Lex. "If we want to enjoy something more high class next time, maybe we ought to take care of it ourselves."

Lex doesn't know a Miss Black, but he does like the idea and already has something in mind. "I always thought it would be a good to host some kind of a gathering once we were happy with the house. And if you need an occasion, I do have a birthday coming up that I don't intend to neglect."
defenestration: (chills right through me)

"I think one final meeting with Miss Decima should do it, don't you?" There's still work to be done on the labs, but that certainly won't have any effect on hosting a party. "I think a birthday celebration is an excellent idea. Although I can only imagine what you may end up with in the nature of presents."
patricide: (to be safely thus)

"For the design? Of course. But I suppose now would be a good time to tell you that I'm keeping her around as a personal shopper. It's not full time by any means, but I'm sure you'll be seeing her around."

But that's business and the issue of a party is more fun. "We could always ask Miss Decima for one last design favor before the 28th rolls around. As far as presents go I don't think I have anything to worry about."

Who wouldn't want the honor of giving Lex Luthor a brilliant birthday present, come on.

"That sounds like an excellent idea." Adrian is of a mind to hire himself a full-blown personal assistant, but he's not quite decided just yet, so he doesn't mention it. He doesn't want to seem as though he's trying to engage in a game of one-upmanship.

The suggestion of hiring Ilde to design the party is an excellent one, and Adrian smiles at that, the smile widening at Lex's subtle display of ego. "I'll mention it to her, so you don't have to be seen planning your own birthday celebration."
patricide: (the milk of human kindness)

[personal profile] patricide 2011-08-18 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
"If you could mention it to her I'd be most grateful, thank you." He takes a sip of his drink and offers Adrian a good natured smile.

"Should you be home tomorrow night I might find it in me somewhere to make dinner."
defenestration: (got your hair combed back)

[personal profile] defenestration 2011-08-18 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
"You have my word." Not tonight, of course, but sometime soon, Adrian will contact Ilde and discuss it with her. The beginnings of an idea have already begun stirring in his brain.

"With a temptation like that, I can assure you that you should plan to cook for two. How is our wine stock, by the way?"

[personal profile] patricide 2011-08-18 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Lex wouldn't dream of pushing Adrian to say anything tonight. There are appearances to consider and he's confident that the man will keep his word.

"Doing nicely for now, but it wouldn't hurt to pick something up in the near future. Why? Are you planning on having the party so soon?" The slight ribbing is a testament to how relaxed he is.
defenestration: (i know they like what they see)

"As much as I'm sure some people enjoy surprise parties, I think that might be difficult to pull of with you living in the same building," Adrian answers, with a soft huff of not-laughter. "No, I thought I would see about contributing something to the meal, since you know I don't cook."
