Costume Party in Honor of Lex Luthor's Birthday [OPEN]

As stated on the invitation, Adrian is throwing a costume party to celebrate Lex's twenty-fifth birthday at the Luthor-Veidt Building in Brock Marsh. Everyone is welcome, whether they know Lex or not. There's plenty of food and free alcohol (mostly wine, fancy beer, and champagne), music and a space for dancing, and room to mingle and make new friends. Some simple and classy decorations, purple of course, have been put up on the first and second floors to create a festive atmosphere.

(A note to those who might try to take the opportunity to go snooping: security is insanely tight. The elevators will not go beyond the first and second floors without a special code, and there's an elevator operator who is very obviously there to make sure you don't try anything funny. The stairwells are likewise under guard and the private areas of the first floor are locked and under camera surveillance.)

Lex takes one look at the costume and laughs. It's not a large show of amusement, no expression Lex chooses to show ever is, but it's genuine.

He approaches the horse's back end and addresses the stranger. "You're making me wish we decided to do a costume contest."

Jim turns to face the man addressing him, his bright smile taking on a pleased, humble cast. "You're very kind. I'm sure this would be much more impressive with the other half, though."

He extends a hand for a handshake. "Jim Kirk."

"Impressive maybe, but I think what you've got going is far more effective. If nothing else it's easier to talk to people this way." Also, you know, be a proper horse's ass, but that goes without saying.

He takes the offered hand and shakes it firmly. "Lex Luthor. Is your other half coming later?"

That's the point, really, though Jim won't admit to being so calculating. A remarkable and sort of cute costume, the suggestion that he was abandoned in his efforts, and a costume that doesn't cover his face, all of these add up to making him very approachable. And maybe also let people underestimate him just a little.

"Mr. Luthor. It's a pleasure to meet you. Happy birthday." Jim spreads his hands, with a small sigh. "That's the rub--there is no other half. I had the costume and then I realized I'd have no help. I figured, why let it go to waste? And better I wear the half, like you say, that makes it easier for me to talk to people, than to try to wander around with the head on."
