[IC] TNT - The Nameless Tavern. (Always Open)

[Dark Light]

@timelord1101 Clay finished up his plate and slid it over the counter. He then leans over the bar and selectively picks out a bottle. Admiring his choice he casually strolls over to Alex and mockingly offers to top up her cup while holding the bottle the way a fancy waiter might at an elegant restaurant.

"My dear," he says in a bad imitation.

A bit latter after taking a swig straight from the bottle he asks,
"So doll, just wondering how long you were gonna stand there staring before you offered me a smoke?"

[SkeletonShadow]

Willow walks back around and takes the plate, rolling her eyes at Clay. She puts the dish away and takes a seat at the bar, grabbing herself a bottle of wine and a glass. After opening it, she pulled out a cigarette and lit it, holding the glass of wine that was an unnatural green color.

[timelord1101]

@Dark Light Alex holds her cup up in a mock toast and nods her head with a sly smile. "Why thank you." She says. She puts the cup down after taking a hard sip and pulls out her pack. Pulling out two she nods towards the door, motioning for him to join her.

Alex steps down from her perch at the bar and waltzes across the wooden floor, her heels making a quick and sure tap-tap-tap as she walked. She pulled the tavern door open and stood waiting. "Well, you comin'?" She asked.

Location
At the bar

Sophia sat at the far end of the bar, sipping on her glass of champagne, enjoying the euphoric sensation that the pleasant taste of the bubbles gave her. Emerald optics observed the activities of the bar while her composure remained nonchalant and relaxed. The lycan emerged from the stairs, all robust and full of life. He was attractive, in a rugged sense. The fiery blonde bombshell seemed to have already staked her claim in him, so Sophia decided not to get fetch his attention. Besides, he probably couldn't afford her rate. Nor did it appear for him to have trouble in that department. She finished off her glass and smiled politely as Snarf refilled her glass with the bubbly she enjoyed so much.

She was wearing a laced red gown with nude heels and natural soft makeup. She worried what Dorian was up too. He was being elusive as usual. Sophia turned her attention to the beautiful Willow who began a song from the jukebox. She laughed softly and exclaimed, "Willow darling, what a wonderful choice in music. I adore this song!" She hummed along to the pleasant tune.

"You want me?
I walk down the hallway
You're lucky
The bedroom's my runway."

Clay
[heading Outside]
@timelord1101

Clay grins, placing the cigarette between his lips, bottle still in hand, with a small nod he follows behind Alex.

Clay seems to light up as soon as he steps outside, no longer constrained by four walls, the freedom excited him. He takes in the sights and a deep breath that stretches his wide chest. His eyes fall back onto Alex and he looks her over for a moment, a predatory glare in his eyes.

[SkeletonShadow]

Willow looked over at Sophia, surprised to have been noticed by this well dressed woman. "Thank you," she managed to say without stuttering, her hair turning a shining sliver color. She sipped at her wine and put out her finished cigarette, blowing out the last of the smoke in a rainbow, pine smelling cloud. @CandiBarr

[timelord1101]

@Dark Light Alex lights her own cigarette, and holds her lighter out to him. She leans against the wall, puffing on her cigarette. Going back to the events of yesterday, she remarks, "Bombshell, eh?" She laughs a bit, hoping to make Clay if not completely shocked, a bit uncomfortable.

[DELETED08734]

@SkeletonShadowShe watched the pretty young thing in awe as her powers surfaced. The hair color change, the rainbow smoke..."That is a unique talent you have there. I must say, I have never seen such a gift before. What exactly can you do?" It was pure curiosity that captivated Sophia's attention. The girl seemed a tab bit insecure and reserved. Perhaps she would allow Sophia to work some magic on her. A change of clothes and a touch of makeup could bring out the inner goddess within the reserved woman. She didn't want to jump right into the offer out of fear of it being an insult to Willow.

[SkeletonShadow]

Willow sits up, "Oh.. I can change the way light bounces off things in order to change colors or create illusions," she says, happy to have someone interested in her, "A lot of the color changes that happens to me are just subconscious, like fitting my mood and stuff, but I've learnt to control it too." She points to the wall where a 'wet floor' sign stands, "There's a person over there. He passed out yesterday and we didn't really know what to do with him, so I just made it so no one can see him until he wakes up."
Willow then stopped, half embarrassed at the tumble of words that had spilled out of her. @CandiBarr

[DELETED08734]

@SkeletonShadowSophia sipped her Cristal and looked towards the "wet floor" sign to which Willow was pointing at. She smiled in amusement. "So, essentially you can create illusions and change colors. Technically, does that mean you can change physical appearances or the color of clothes? Take my dress for instance. I'd die to have this dress in a shade of green that matched my eyes." How delightful! Willow was magnificent!

[SkeletonShadow]

Willow thinks, "Well, I can change the properties of physical things, so yeah, clothes can change," she says, flicking her finger at Sophia, her dress changing in a wave of color to an emerald deep green with slight threads of gold to make her eyes pop. "Like that," she says shrugging, but still smiling. @CandiBarr

@timelord1101
[outside]
Clay leans against the wall with his arm outstretched over Alex, half trapping her, his free hand gently cups her lighter hand as he brings his face near to light the cigarette hanging in his mouth. Once lit he steps back and gives her some space.

Clay doesn't shock easily and is quite shameless, his eyes briefly flash with surprise for a moment as he takes a further step back, then he replies from the corner of his mouth before taking a deep drag. "So you a mind reader or something?!" He curiously enquires. "C'mon you know it as well as I do!" He scoffs gesturing to her body with both hands, defending his thought from the other day.

[DELETED08734]

@SkeletonShadow"How exquisite!" Sophia exclaimed loudly and stood abruptly admiring herself in a mirror that hung on the wall near the bar. Her actions were conceited and far from elegant. She knew better than to act in such a rude manner, she thought to herself as she smoothed the delicate material over her body and raised her ivory hand to brush her hair behind her ear and out from in front of her face. That color though! It was perfect! Without thinking, she pulled Willow into a grateful hug. Smiling sheepishly, she pulled away and returned to her seat at the bar.

[SkeletonShadow]

Willow smiles happily, "I'm glad to have helped," she says warmly. She admired this woman who was so.. refined and the definition of beautiful. @CandiBarr

[timelord1101]

@Dark Light Alex blushes slightly from the close contact. She can smell the sweat and... Dog? She brushes it off, probably nothing important. "I am actually." She realizes that he's probably dealt with people such as herself before. She chuckles softly at his comment. She inches closer towards him, "Am I now?" Using her arm to support her weight on the wall, she looks him in the eyes, making sure that he notices hers flash that haunting purple glow that comes with her abilities. "You can never lie to me, I can see right through you." She intimidates him.

[Dark Light]

Dorian
[Upstairs]

A sudden exhale of a warm held breath ran out over tinted, wine-cooled lips as Dorian let out sigh reflective of his disproval for what his eyes lay upon.

He sat upstairs in his favoured seat, one that offered a hidden view over the tavern floor below. One foot rested upon the other knee, an empty glass on the low table before him and a soon-to-be empty glass twirling in his hand.

The sight of that 'savage' whom was toying with his bouncer stirred a nerve within. Uncivilised and unpredictable, he could only be grateful that they left. The further he was from Sophia the better, he looked towards Sophia and Willow just as they embraced. The warming sight only reiterating his own empty coldness.

If Sophia was on the floor it's because she was keen to work, this left Dorian caught in between the grasp of wanting customers and wishing no one else came.

But what's a business without clients. Placing the empty glass down on the table Dorian retreats back to his office, the heavy doors closing with a loud creek.

Location
Headed to her room

A handsome man in pristine condition carrying a fancy designer present bombarded into the room and grabbed Sophia by the arm. She recognized him to be one of her regulars although it had been awhile since the last time he had visited her. An onlooker would have thought the man was being rough with Sophia, although she knew better. He was in a hurry, but paid well. Extremely well in fact. One companion visit for him paid her whole month's rent at the tavern along with enough bottles of Cristal to keep her happy for weeks. And he always bought her the best lingerie. She graciously downed her glass and set it on the counter. She smiled at Willow.

"Come and see me when you have some free time and aren't working. You appear to be in dire need for some girl time."

She wanted to say more but had work to do. Sophia craved a girl's night as well. Not in a sexual sense, although it could turn in to that, but more of a sister type of thing where they braided each other's hair and tried on clothes. Or they could flaunt over the popular hunks in the tabloids or listen and dance to music carefree. Sophia wanted to treat the girl just because it was the polite and kind thing to do.

She waltzed with the man, hand in hand, up the stairs and retreated into her room.

OCC: About to go to bed. TTYL

"You want me?
I walk down the hallway
You're lucky
The bedroom's my runway."

[SkeletonShadow]

Willow smiled, and waved as Sophia left. She then looked around, and to her great disappointment, she appeared to be alone. She sighed and started to wipe down the bar, just looking for something to do.
She ran out of work too quickly, and she plopped down in a stool, her whole appearance taking on a grey look.
Willow decided, other people could cover her if anyone 'happened' to come in, so she got up and went to her room for the night.
OOC: Niiiight!

[Dark Light]

@Dark Light Alex blushes slightly from the close contact. She can smell the sweat and... Dog? She brushes it off, probably nothing important. "I am actually." She realizes that he's probably dealt with people such as herself before. She chuckles softly at his comment. She inches closer towards him, "Am I now?" Using her arm to support her weight on the wall, she looks him in the eyes, making sure that he notices hers flash that haunting purple glow that comes with her abilities. "You can never lie to me, I can see right through you." She intimidates him.

@timelord1101

He holds his smile but Alex will see its fraud. He is intimidated. While he might not fear her physically as Alex will pick up on his sense of indestructibility, he fears what she may find. He throws up crude surface thoughts, if Alex is actually looking in his head she will see a lot of herself, if she is good she will feel his fear of the past being re-awoken.

"Where's the fun in that!?" He ask with a feigned laugh as he juggles between his cigarette and bottle, taking a deep swig as an excuse to break eye contact. As mesmerising as her eyes were he couldn't let himself get caught in them.

[timelord1101]

@Dark Light Alex felt a surge hit her head. She knew that Clay was trying to hide something. 'Too much activity,' She was confused at the sudden emotions filling his head. She saw the panic in his eyes, and his actions were swift and defensive. 'He's afraid. But of what?' pondering the possible outcomes of this confrontation. 'Push him a bit more. Make him admit it.'

"Lying makes you more vulnerable. Even now, you think you can hide from me. Why are you so afraid to look me in the eyes?" Her eyes were a glowing purple, he wouldn't be able to look away once he met them now. She knew she was getting to him, he'd come clean soon enough, whether he wanted to or not.
