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.)



[ooc: Please wait until a few threads are set up before tagging! Party time! Everyone is welcome!

Note: I've turned off notifs so if you need my attention in a specific spot, please PM or plurk me.]

"I'll get you one, as soon as I see where," he insists. It's been a long time since Gabriel has tried to be a gentleman (or even felt the need, really); he hopes it's all coming back to him right.

"And I don't think dancing is an obligation, though I could be wrong if things are different in this city."

...Please let them not be different, he cannot actually dance.

"It's usually something offered, if you woukd like to do it."

"Oh good, I'm not much of a dancer." She gives him a smile. "Maybe I'll come with you in search of the drinks." It's either that or stake out a strategic place to sit.

He flashes her a smile in return that may or may not be pretty relieved. "Neither am I," he admits. "I avoid it as much as I can. So let's go look for a drink."

And he offers his arm, though he won't be offended if she declines.

She takes it easily, relaxed. "I promise not to make you, then, for both our sakes. And don't be afraid of abandoning me for a bit later, if you want to find people to say hello."

"Thank you. And you should do the same, if you want."

He's pleased she took his arm; he feels better about this whole escorting thing when he feels like he's doing it right.

...Like his mother taught him, which is really a thought he doesn't want to dwell on right now, so! Off to find the drinks.

"I have to admit I don't know many people in the city yet. Do you?"

"No, just a few. I've done some jobs for people, and I met a man who's going to redo some of my boat. But I was thinking it might be a good evening to make some new connections." Business-wise, if nothing else.

Gabriel nods. "That's a good idea. I should think about doing the same. Word of mouth and the odd business card only get you so far."

"Though neither go amiss," she agrees, amiably. "Perhaps we can recommend clients to one another. People who need bookkeeping often need clockwork, I should think."

[identity profile] aintwoundright.livejournal.com 2011-10-13 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
"That's true." He smiles, gently steering her around a group of people standing and talking amongst themselves. "And the man I work for, who owns the shop, he knows a lot of the other business owners in Mog Hill. I can ask and see if he knows anyone in need of bookkeeping."

She smiles, sharp and a bit opaque. "If I'm not careful, you might think I'm just using you for your customer list," she observes, lightly but perhaps not without some truth behind it.

"I can think of worse fates," he confides, with a flash of his old confidence. Maybe he wasn't that man anymore but it wouldn't hurt to borrow back some of his qualities, surely.
ironshodboots: (happy)

She flashes him back a smile. "Well, that's useful to know. I'll use away, then."
