days of future past;
Who: everyone, you're all invited
What: Grand opening of Rocky's
When: March 1 - or whenever, feel free to future date if you want
Where: Rocky's Bar
Content Warnings: Will be placed in subject line if necessary
Dean will toss a post up on the network that is visible to all. It's just an ad for the place - a huge blinking gif that says ROCKY'S BAR, and a text under it that says 'GRAND OPENING MARCH 1, 7:00pm - ?'. There is a list of information available in the post, as well as normal opening times (12 noon), and closing (2am-ish). This is an open invite for the entire community to come check it out. All ages will be permitted into the arcade (and offered soft drinks/water from the bar) until 10pm, after that, they will be asked to leave the premises, and it becomes adult only.
Admission: Admission will be local 'currency'; a shiny rock, quartz or gemstone (or something similar) will pay for a night of drinks and games. Spices and things like salt/pepper are also acceptable.
Or, if you want to work a shift then throw down, same gig.
The place will be set up for a proper party - streamers, music pumping from a jukebox in a corner, though there is a playlist that is on shuffle unless someone picks something else. At the far end of the bar, through scattered tables and chairs, there is also a karaoke stage. Two microphones are set up, but there are more if there are enough in the party to warrant digging them out. For now, a Trench citizen is running the karaoke rounds (and will be doing so every Friday night until the position is otherwise filled), and should you want to sing, just write your name down in her little black book along with the song title, and she'll call you up when it's your turn.
There's a long banquet table of food against one wall that is being refreshed as needed by various Trenchies. It includes the following:
French fries
Onion rings
Nachos
Wings
Mozzarella sticks
Quesadillas
Chicken Sliders
Artichoke dip
Traveling downstairs and into the basement will take you to the arcade - there are tons of games lit by neon and blacklight, their siren song luring you right in. Pacman, DDR, Galaga, Asteroids, Frogger, etc are all there, as well as several pinball machines, ski-ball, a foosball and an air hockey table. If you dream it, it's probably there.
If none of that is your style, you can hit the bar, where Dean himself (and another Trench citizen) will be serving drinks - there's a Squid Special (a tequila shot and a beer), and three craft beers on tap - Cosmic Cowboy IPA, Fox Rye Lager, and Blue Ghost pale ale, all from Dean's own microbrewery.
(( ooc; this is an open/party style log where everyone can interact with everyone else. Don't feel the need to wait for Dean to serve you a drink, there is another Trench bartender helping him out until he hires someone else.
There ARE bouncers, but if your character is being a jerk, do let me know because Dean will step in and toss them out :3 If you have any questions, hmu![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
pincurls! otherwise, have fun, mingle, and enjoy! ))

And yet, somehow, it's Michael who ultimately grabs her attention right away. After the many courts of the realm, she's used to seeing singers perform.
She's not quite accustomed to Michael's performance style, though. And finds herself utterly fascinated by his enthusiasm, if not his talent.
When he finishes his latest song, she claps for him.]
no subject
[Michael comes bounding down from the stage. Frankly, he doesn't consider karaoke to be a crowd-focused thing - it's just about having fun up on the stage! They never even used to have people watching, when it was just him and Eleanor or whoever.
Still! Nice to be applauded!]
You should take a turn!
no subject
I can't do that. I don't know any of the songs from your--or Dean's--world.
[Not that she couldn't learn. But she's not there to make a spectacle of herself.
She walks over to Michael at the bottom of the steps up to the stage.]
It took me a while to get used to all of the songs in Rocky Horror Picture Show and I still don't know what any of them mean!
no subject
[Michael points over at the karaoke machine screen. Technically that's true, although knowing the tune probably does help.]
I'm not sure some of those songs really meant anything at all.
no subject
Huh. What a clever idea.
[Ariadne usually just...memorizes things.]
So by this conceit...anyone can be a bard?

[She looks down at herself. No, still pretty petite and little.]

[She laughs softly.]
I think I'll leave that title to Orpheus.

no subject
[She glances up at the stage again.]
What was that song you were singing?
no subject
[Also because he's probably not aware of all the myths that cropped up around him after the things that happened.......but we don't gotta talk about that!]
Oh, that was Ariana Grande. My friend Jason loves her.
no subject
[Doesn't sound like the name of the song, anyway.]
A singing sensation?
no subject
no subject
[Ariadne brightens up.]
Well, tell me everything about her. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about Earth culture.
no subject
[What about this made you think he knows a ton about Ariana Grande]
Well, she was a child star. One time she licked a bunch of display doughnuts?
no subject
I take it from your tone that these doughnuts weren't supposed to be licked?
[Does she even know what a doughnut is? Who knows?!]
no subject

[She pulls a face.]
That's very inconsiderate.

We don't really have celebrities in Valeria. Famous politicians and courtiers and religious figures. But I don't think that's the same, somehow.

Like...the Omnis?
