What good is sitting alone in your room?

[couldntpullthetrigger]

Who: Yukari couldntpullthetrigger, any female CR of hers that wants to come, and any female CR of THEIRS that would've been invited for a night out. Like Six Steps To Kevin Costner, except only girls are involved.
When: Sometime Between July 2nd and 3rd(tm)
Where: La Coniglietta, Capablanca
What: Girl's night out at a club. Unfortunately, Yukari forgot to check what kind of club it is after she got a pass to a VIP exclusive room. OH WELL :D
Rating: DD for boobs. It is a cabaret after all. (Will update if it gets beyond anything you can expect at an adult night establishment)

[After the win at the Battle of Graupera, Yukari had found herself in possession of a pass and instructions on how to turn it in for what she had thought was just an exclusive hotspot of a club in Capablanca. Fortunately, it is indeed a hotspot of activity, men and women and somewhat less identifiable beings from all over gathering to try to get in past the burly bouncers and into the famous late-night club.

The pass got her entire group in easily enough, but upon walking in to the dim lights, the background music, preparing to set the stage for the show, and the...

... Well, just walking in the door gained a great view of a nearly-topless woman striding past with a notable bounce in her step, and Yukari felt the color drain from her face a little.

Oh god. What kind of club did she get invited to!?

The VIP room is on the second floor, sequestered off from the staircase by a lush, velvet curtain. There's a balcony that looks down onto the main floor and stage, with seats around tables, and they have their own, private couple of staff that wait hand and foot for their orders, and seem... well, particularly flirtatious. Likely because they want to get a good tip, but to be honest, personal space is not really a thing for long. They seem to like sitting on laps. It's terrible.]

OOC; y'all can treat it like a mingle, enjoy the 'shows', have fun, enjoy sexy wererabbits and anyone who isn't secure in their sexual orientation wondering why it's so flustering to have a rabbit girl shoving boobs in their face.

So on the one hand, weird. That's really the only word for 'girl you helped stomp a dragon to death invites you to a strip club' when it happens, especially when the strippers are all ladies. If they were more guys... well, no, too much junk, but there would probably be some nice abs going on. Actually... this wasn't really a strip club, was it? It was a little classier than that. The clientele wasn't quite as rowdy as Lola would have thought with a strip club.

But on the other hand Lola was watching the girls on stage dance, they really knew how to use everything they had. The right pose to give just enough... but not all of it. Extend that perfect moment of desire where they're almost out of their top... but then not. And the expressions! Lola was mentally taking notes, all the faces that teased, and lured, but weren't debauched or raunchy exactly. She was leaning against the VIP railing watching the show intently.

Sadly one of the servers keeps asking Lola if she needs anything, and taking advantage of the height difference to make sure Lola's really got no choice but to talk to her breasts. Which, while nice, aren't Lola's thing. Save the girl from flirty werebunny so she can learn to be more seductive. (God help the male heroes if Lola learns how to be flirtier.)

[couldntpullthetrigger]

Look, she didn't know this was the kind of club it was. All she knows is that it was a popular night time entertainment establishment that did shows. She wasn't expecting the shows to involve racy outfits, and sometimes no clothing at all, nor for the workers to be so... underdressed, either. And also pretty much only women.

She's just as embarrassed as anyone at the overall tone of everything... but at least the acting is good? And the music.

She could really do without their waitstaff hitting on all of them, though. It's kind of weird, in any case.

Also, one of the servers seems to have a thing for pink hair, apparently, if the fact she keeps going over to Lola is any indication, and at some point, Yukari feels like she has to step in.

"H-hey! How you um... liking it? Not.. what I expected it to be, but it's also not as bad as I thought. Mostly."

And quietly nodding at the waitress to get her to step aside and go back to talking to someone else. Maybe she'll go bug Maki now.

[drawmecute]

Other than the waitress flirting with her, Lola was really enjoying this outing. She mouths a quick 'thank you' for the rescue. The waitress was too old for Lola, oh and female. That was also a problem. And the bunny thing was a thing Lola was not ready to consider.

"It's fun! I'm learning a lot," Lola was leaning on the rail watching the girls work downstairs. There were lots of little things, and a few big things, Lola was keeping an eye on. "If I known I'd learn so much I'd have let a lesbian drag me to a place like this when I was home."

Okay, at home there were things like age of majority laws preventing her from being in a place like this. But that was a minor detail. As was what Lola thinks about Yukari's orientation right now.

arrival

[ Maki had been thinking about this night in the back of her mind for a little while, ever since Yukari talked about it with her. It seemed like a good way to get out of the routine, doing something that wasn't about fighting or other Hero work. Plus, as a girl who loves to dress up... it's kind of an excuse for Maki to dress up.

Which is exactly what she did. It took her like three hours to get completely ready but she was just on time to make it with Yukari and the others to the night club.

Even outside she puts on her best disinterested look as they wait, clearly unimpressed. She's been all around the world even at 17, and it takes something special to really impress her.

...Or you could just completely shock her, as she winds up inside, eyes opened wide as she realizes exactly what kind of club Yukari took her too. (Was Yukari trying to say something about Maki??) ]

Wh-What's going on here?! [ This is definitely a new one for Maki, who was pretty sure she would never step foot into a place like this in her lifetime...

Sometime after the initial shock wears off (and she somehow is persuaded to stay a little while) Maki finds herself awkwardly sitting in the VIP section alone, refusing to make eye contact with anyone else. Maybe someone wishes to help her come out of her shell? ]

idol activities

I'm a cutie panther, following you wherever you go, I won't, I won't let go of your heart!

[ What was in that drink? Maki hadn't been too focused on her order, just asking for something with tomato (though a part of her knew what it was likely to contain...) and when it came she'd been surprised just how good it was, and ignored that idols didn't usually drink alcohol.

And there's a good reason for it.

Because somewhere in the middle of the night Maki's found herself on stage.

Where she performs one of her songs. Complete with chereographed cat paws and belting out lyrics for the entire club to hear. Apparently being a Hero and a VIP opens plenty of doors.

It's too bad she doesn't have the panther costume. ]

I'm gonna get you!

post diva

[ After performing and basking in the reaction, Maki's found herself back in the VIP section with her friend Yukari and the others. She's sworn off asking for anything but water though, being more than responsible enough to know when to stop.

However, that doesn't stop an appreciative (or perhaps just someone interested in tips) bunny from giving Maki a bit of a dance herself. She had said she wanted to show Maki her own dance moves, and she couldn't really say no right?

Only she hadn't really thought that she'd end up getting a lap dance from a topless and admittedly gorgeous werebunny, leaving Maki... stunned. Perhaps more than ever before. ]

E-E-Euuuehh??

Diva

[drawmecute]

*For some people, they have the patience and the self control to wait for someone to make it back to the VIP section before pestering them. Lola is not one of those people so nobody should really be surprised that after her initial clapping and cheering at the end of the song... Lola jumps the balcony and uses a bit of wind magic to cushion her fall (and prevent damages to the floor). The wind spell bursting sends a light gust across the room whipping up the skirts of various ladies much to the delight of patrons. Lola's also wearing a skirt, and jumped from the second floor, so everyone got to see what color her- they're pink, nobody is surprised either.*

*And cue Lola running over to Maki.*

Ohmygod! That was so good! Can you teach me the choreography.

And, well, the words. I guess that's important too but it looked so fun!

[cutiepanther]

[ It's not unexpected, Maki's almost used to it by now. She's never performed JUST by herself though, unless you counted piano recitals back in elementary school, and they certainly weren't the same. So Maki's running on adrenaline when she comes down off the stage, smiling and waving to her new apparent fans.

She'd hadn't expected to be rushed by a pink haired girl though, taking a small step back, raising her hands but still smiling. ]

Oh... thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[ Actually, Maki's pretty good when it comes to this, her tsun is downplayed when she's in idol mode. ]

Have you never seen an idol performance before?

idol activities

[couldntpullthetrigger]

[The night wore on, and the alcohol kept flowing. Yukari couldn't say she much liked the taste of it - it was strong and bitter and made her whole face scrunch up the minute any of it hit her tongue, so it's not like she drinks a whole lot of it. Enough that something feels a little more relaxed in her, maybe? But that's all the more she can stand, especially as the drinks start to warm up and they get even stronger and more bitter tasting.

She's just about to relax, figuring Maki had left for the restroom or to go down to the bar or show floor or something, but chokes on her drink when the curtains open and there's Maki.

On stage.

With her hands up like cat paws.] W-what the hell is she doing!?

[And here is Yukari, leaning over the rail, blinking in disbelief, before excusing herself from the room to go downstairs. Oh god, Maki must be drunk. Oh god she's gotta save her before the cabaret turns into the stripshow it usually is!!]

[cutiepanther]

[ There's an electric sort of feeling, of being up on stage. With everyone watching, sitting on the edge of their seats, cheering and smiling and offering up their energy. Maki had always loved performing, it was something that drew her to music and why she kept at it all through middle school. It's why she was happy to become a school idol, after she got passed her initial reservations.

And right now, in the middle of this club a million miles away from home, all alone, with the song she composed playing almost deafening loud, Maki belts out the lyrics. She even knows it's probably one of her more risque songs, and she doesn't hide her hips as she shakes them, or even breaking from the choreography to lean down to blow kisses at one of the fans in the front row. Hell, in this slightly tipsy and all too drunk on attention sort of mood, Maki even isn't afraid to make it look like that dress of hers is going to come off. ]

Instead of doubting, thinking it's fake, try believing in me. Kind words... A cold gaze... My prey is you!

[ That last line is sung right at Yukari, seeing how she's the one she recognizes here in the front row now, even going so far as beckoning her onto the stage with her as the bridge starts. Of course, this means every person around Yukari cheers for her to get on stage too. ]

arrival

[ateaist]

Nishi~ki~nooooo! I see you over there!

[Just what our resident idol needs in a time of such great distress: Nobunaga, apparently already having had a few drinks. She slings an arm around Maki's shoulders and sits next to her, practically pressing against the girl affectionately.]

What're you doing being shy in a place like this, eh?

[cutiepanther]

[ Before she even hears her name, Maki feels the hair on the back of her neck standing up, as if she were sensing some kind of natural disaster before it struck.

And then when she realizes who's arm it is suddenly around her, she manages to put a name to that disaster.

Nobunaga. ]

O-Oda-sama?! [ She stiffens up tight, hands on her knees digging fingers into her skin, unable to hide the embarrassment in her voice, as if she could only think that a certain someone had just noticed the way Maki had been looking at a certain werebunny. Surely she was just admiring the lingerie? ]

I-I'm just minding my own business!

Arrival

[long_live_the_queen]

[After her moment of surprise at the door, Nyu had quickly settled into...actually being fairly comfortable! But someone else in the VIP room clearly wasn't, and of course Nyu wanted to try and help immediately.

She'd just go over and say hi.

By leaning over the back of the couch and draping herself on the other girl's shoulders.]

Hello!

[She is definitely smiling. Kaede never smiled on the train.

What the fuck.]

[cutiepanther]

[ While Maki might not use the same words, the emotions is the same.

Clearly one of them is drunk or otherwise on something. Because there's no way this is Kaede, despite the familiarities. A clone? Maybe a long lost twin sister? Maki is otherwise stunned for a few long moments, her body frozen stiff like she were a deer in headlights.

She can feel her heart beating and pounding in her chest, but she has no idea what to do here! ]

......K-Kaede-san?

nobunaga | ota

[ateaist]

[Well, someone's adapting well to this situation. She doesn't think of Yukari as exactly the..."fun" type, so whatever the girl had in mind had very low expectations on the warlord's part. It's only once they arrive does she get such a spring in her step and her eyes are wide in delight. Forget that last part, clearly Yukari is a woman of excellent and refined taste in how to spend your spare time wisely.

So for everyone anywhere between shocked and confused and maybe even a little put off by this scenario, there's Nobunaga, seated and surrounded by drink and women. They've been there for a while, and it's hard to tell whether or not she's genuinely working the charm here or they've found someone who very clearly wants attention and this is an easy way of getting it.

But does it matter? She just looks so happy right now.]

...oh, they don't pay me enough for this hero lark or I'd be a lot more generous, I assure you. Ah, but let's see...if I can't then perhaps you ought to pay more attention to my friends here? [Since when is she your friend? She might not even know you as she directs the servers attention towards you.] Ah, how about them? They're all alone over there! Come, come, don't be shy over there! Come say hello!

[couldntpullthetrigger]

[Excuse you, Yukari is perfectly 'fun'!

She just doesn't tend to like to have fun at the expense of other people, temperamental or not. Let her go to the beach or shopping, or just hanging out in more innocuous places than this.

That said, she's... not entirely sure she's surprised that her roommate takes the club like a fish to water. She seemed a little... hedonistic. That's probably putting it lightly, but she at least tries to swallow the judgment she feels toward Nobunaga when she does eventually make a round.

... Well, she was just going to talk to the other woman, but now there's... servers being directed toward her.] N-no, that's fine. I don't get paid any better than she does, really. I know it's my party and all, but I did it a lot cuz it wasn't super expensive to get here.

[Back to Nobunaga] ... You're really enjoying this.

[ateaist]

I'm in my element, what can I say? Plenty of drink and plenty of women...fufu...some would call this heaven.

[But if she's going to talk to Yukari, maybe it'd be a little less awkward if she wasn't surrounded by her small gathering here, so she dismisses the servers. They're not making tips talking to her anyway.]

I didn't think you'd be into this kind of thing, you know. I'm actually a little impressed you have such fine taste.

why

[armorial]

[ Saber, on the other hand, is not all too excited about these turn of events. Saber doesn't know Yukari, but trusts Maki. She doesn't think her trust is betrayed or anything, but she doesn't seem all too comfortable.

Saber sits next to Nobunaga, only expecting the more flamboyant of behaviors. Here it is, all the hostess flock to Nobunaga because she's so readily available to pamper them with money. Their breasts are practically peeking out of their tight clothes, but Saber finds it easy to focus on other things that aren't her object of envy. ]

Nobunaga... [ NO. No. No. Quickly, she gives the archer some colle right into the palm of her hand. ] I am fine. Do enjoy yourself.

you cant say why...

[ateaist]

[This is it, isn't it? She shouldn't expect anyone here to be any fun at all. Between Maki, Yukari and Saber, Nobunaga has all but decided that she can only get whatever she wants out of this for herself and the rest of her party be damned.

She takes the offered colle, but-

She also dismisses her entourage.]

Saber...don't tell me you're going to let me down like this. Noone's any fun, Saber.

[Did she just pocket the colle Saber gave her...]

Have a drink or something at least...or dance with me!

OTA etc

[long_live_the_queen]

[Nyu'd had some time to...if not exactly settle in, at least get used to her surroundings enough that she stopped jumping at strange things or freezing up at an unexpected shadow. Or shrinking into a wall and pretending she didn't exist when she saw someone strange, until she was sure they were friendly.

She was better now! There was a nice person here. She recognized Yukari relatively quickly as someone to trust, which made Nyu much more extroverted and confident in general.

-and startled by boobs, hold on. She might have jumped and latched onto Yukari's arm out of reflex, more due to surprise than discomfort.

Actually she definitely did, and...this was Yukari's arm, right?]

[couldntpullthetrigger]

[Hi, this is dog Yukari.

... Wow, this is definitely not the kind of place she probably should've brought Nyu. Technically, there was nothing wrong with her, but she seemed so... innocent. Especially when she was in this mode instead of her grumpy mc grump face self.

Actually, either way she should've not. brought. her either way, thinking on Kaede.

Maybe it should be 'at least it is Nyu this time'? She won't assault any of the waitresses. And not for the reasons one may imagine at a place like this.]

Oh, h-hey, you seem about as... confused by this as I am. [And also grabbing her arm which Yukari is like 40% Unsure how she feels.]

[long_live_the_queen]

[Nyu is 99.9% less likely to commit casual homicide because someone unexpectedly touched her, it's true!

She also calms down much faster, and straightens out of the startled curl her shoulders had been in before. The vicegrip on Yukari's arm relaxes! Somewhat. She's still holding on without thinking about it.]

That...surprised me, is all. I don't...mind? But I don't like it when things jump at me like that.

[...that may have been a poor choice of words, given how the waitress' boobs are about this close to bursting out of the top she was wearing.]

[armorial]

[ This is definitely not Yukari's arm. Saber is probably shorter, but she's still here to support. Saber is definitely out of her element. To be honest, she doesn't even seem like she belongs here--Nyu doesn't either. Maki's invitation though-- ]

Are you all right, Miss?

[ She turns her attention to the scantily-clad woman that passes by with the bounce of not only her hind but her chest. Saber may be a little envious... People just seem to have it all and more. ]

While... People are rather open, they seem to be harmless.

[ Comfort, reassurance, Saber needs all of that, too. However, she'll do her best for someone else. ]

[long_live_the_queen]

I...think so.

[The surroundings were just very...very distracting. She was staring after the waitress walking away a bit too long.]

I wasn't expecting that, is all.

[Okay okay stop staring at that tuft of a tail wondering if it's real or not and—wow it's been a long time since Nyu was able to look down at someone, even if it was just a few inches. Longer still since said person didn't have horns or hair like herself.]

closed to yukari

[seventhgen]

[This is the place where she was supposed to meet Yukari, right? Except by the time Aigis gets to the cabaret, Yukari's already gone inside. It takes a little convincing before she's able to convince them to let her inside, largely because she describes Yukari accurately, but they eventually do. Aigis has never had to deal with distractions before. As her normal self, she would have scanned the whole room at a glance. Now, she barely notices the scantily-clad dancers, she's so focused on finding Yukari. And find her friend she does.] Yukari-san! [Aigis sounds perhaps more bubbly than she's ever sounded before as she bounds up to where Yukari is sitting at a table near the edge. She stands there, beaming... and waits to see if Yukari notices anything is different with her. Like the lack of armor extending up her throat, or the lack of her usual headgear. Or her human hands.] Hello, Yukari-san!

[couldntpullthetrigger]

[This is indeed the place she was supposed to meet up with Yukari. And Yukari is already uncomfortably mortified by the situation. She's already staring in discomfort at the show on stage, and the lights are dim and music going by the time she hears her name called.

Oh wait, was that... Aigis?

She perks her head up and looks around. No one else really just calls her "Yukari-san" so the robot must've made it, after all. She was a little disappointed when Aigis wasn't with the initial group.

She glances over at Aigis, then back to the stage.] H-hey, Aigis! [...

...

...

Wait. Also, why is Aigis just standing there standing, that's creepy.

She eventually looks back, because she was half expecting Aigis to sit, but being hovered over is cool, too. Yukari actually almost doesn't even notice at first, because Aigis already looked rather human, and it's not like her face changed much. Hell, it's not even that Aigis has real ears that catches her, it's her hands.

And Yukari? Yukari frowns.] ... Aigis?

[seventhgen]

[Sorry, Yukari, she's just really excited about this.

Her fingers grab fistfuls of fabric from her skirt in anticipation. She's practically shaking from foot to foot.] --oh, have you noticed something different, Yukari-san? [She says, trying to again be nonchalant and act like nothing's different... but realistically, she's practically bursting at the seams.]
