[IC] Fables: After The Ever Afters

[Saarebas]

The sun had just finished it's sluggish decent behind the New York skyline and the world renown city's nightlife was slowly waking from it's slumber. As the starry night sky appeared over the city glowing lights of countless stores and businesses sparked to life but one located on the upper west side of Manhattan was what seemed to catch the eye of everyone out that night. The sign was a deep neon red color and red in cursive letters Rumors. The sign was to a nightclub with a line to get in stretched down half of the block. In front of the door to club was a large, muscular man with a stern expression on his face and wore a black T-shirt with the word security printed on it along with a pair of dark shades that completely hid his eyes from view. Behind him and inside of the nightclub a crowd of people were spread throughout the building, some in corners or at tables talking, others at the bars competing to order drinks from the bartender. During all this on stage was a band performing Young Volcanoes and their lead was a dark haired man with multiple piercings and dressed in a black sleeveless shirt, black and slightly torn jeans, and a pair of black combat boots. To most people in the crowd he was just some performer, to a few he was Booker Manson the owner of the club, and to even less he was known as Boogie the once fabled monster that stalked every kid's nightmare. As the song came to a end Boogie shot a smile over the crowd before saying. "We're going to take five folks." He then headed off stage and over to the bar, going behind the counter and grabbing a bottle of set aside whiskey, that he made clear was for personal use, and poured himself a glass. He took a sip of his drink and let a sly smile come across his face as he looked across his business again.

Behind the counter of Rumors stood a young lady with black hair. She, Kuro, was in a black uniform. Kuro was busy serving customers drinks and listening to the music. She had started working there and was enjoying it.

[Saarebas]

Boogie smirked before how he took a seat on the counter right next to where Kuro was serving drinks. "And how is the newest employ holding up?" He said with a slight chuckle before he took a sip from his glass. "Not getting to over worked are you your highness?"

[BlackCat]

Kuro blushed when he said your highness. She knew it was sarcasm but whenever she was called that Kuro tended to blush.

"I'm doing good," she told Boogie.

[Saarebas]

Boogie smirked as he sipped his drink. "Great, I'd hate to have to break in another bartender. Plus I think it's kind of suicidal to anger someone of your regal stature."

[BlackCat]

"Don't flatter me. I'm not a Queen right now," Kuro said serving a drink to a customer.

[Saarebas]

Boogie chuckled again. "Ohh but all I do is flatter Kuro, you know that. Hell I put Prince Charming to shame if I may say so my self." He said as he finished off his drink and then poured himself another glass.

[BlackCat]

"You do flatter, that is true, very true," Kuro said grinning, as she adjusted her black chocker. The chocker had a black band with a white skull on the front.

[Saarebas]

"Of course your highness, when have I ever lied?" Boogie said with a chuckle as he hopped off from his seat on the counter. He took a large swig of his drink before placing the empty glass and bottle of whisky back under the counter.

[BlackCat]

"Are you going to play more music?" Kuro asked. She liked Boogie's music.

[Saarebas]

"Of course, how else do you expect do you expect me to keep the masses from flocking out of here and rioting in the streets." Boogie said with a chuckle as he started to stretch, causing his joints to crack.

[BlackCat]

"Well then, better go keep those masses at bay," Kuro said giggling a bit.

[Saarebas]

"Of course, as long as you are able to keep from being over whelmed on this side." Boogie said jokingly as he headed from behind the bar, slinging the guitar that was strapped onto his back over his shoulder and back in front of him. He made his way back onstage where the rest of the band was finishing setting up. He made it to the mic and gave it two quick taps to get the crowds attention back to him and the band. He shot a smile over the crowd before spoke into the mic. "This song is for that person in all our lives that still holds a special place in your heart..." He then gave a nod to his band mates. There was no hint of delay in the bands start of the song I Hate Everything About You.

Kuro listened to the music as she served customers drinks.
