Where: HQ (Across the road from house 14)
Summary: Kate and Wanda finally unveil their Nightclub.
Rating: PG to PG-13.


[After a lot of preparation, opening night for Luceti's newest club is finally here. The music is loud and insistent, the kind where you have to shout a bit to be heard above the noise. Flashing, moving lights above reveal the purple decor, mostly devoid of chairs, and plenty of room to dance. A well stocked bar should be able to provide liquid courage to anyone too nervous to shake there groove-thang sober, while a patio out back affords a space for anyone wanting to have more intimate (or just quieter) interactions. There's also a coat room, for anyone looking for a warmer spot for intimate interactions.

The doors open at seven, and will stay open until two am-- plenty of time to drink, dance, talk and generally have a good time. When the DJs aren't spinning, a house mix is put on, so there's never a quiet moment.]

Powers? Ah... There are some who live here who have unusual powers! But for the most part, pirates are simply common criminals!

[And he glances at her inquisitively wit unblinking beady eyes, his thick eyebrows perched neatly atop them.]

If I am more careful, what will happen?! Will there be danger?

[maximoff_girl]

No. ... There shouldn't be. ... If you're more careful, then maybe no-one else will be knocked over... maybe. [Danger never even entered her mind. Such is the life of a teenaged witch.]

[niceguypose]

I see! I will do the best to ensure the wellbeings of all of the fellow guests! Unless they choose to engage me in a spar, correct?

[maximoff_girl]

... If they choose to engage you in-- a spar, I would... appreciate it if you could take it outside. ... I'm one of the bouncers here, and I really don't want to have to throw you out.

[niceguypose]

Ah... Such a thing is forbidden in this place? [It's always unusual for Lee, since sparring and working out is more or less the equivalent of dancing for him.]

[maximoff_girl]

Well... yeah. This is a place for dancing. ... Not fighting. [To Wanda, they are different things.]

[niceguypose]

So in other words... There should be a separate club for combat?

[maximoff_girl]

There is one... isn't there? [The Battle Dome?]

[niceguypose]

If there is, then why am I not aware? [The Battle Dome seems too different for the context Lee is thinking of.]

[maximoff_girl]

I don't know! [Wanda sounds almost scandalized. How could she know something like that? She doesn't even know who this guy is!] ... Maybe you're new here. Or-- [Shhh Wanda. That would just be mean. You don't know him well enough to insult him like that.]

Hn.

It's called the Battle Dome.

[niceguypose]

Ah... but that is not a club! Youths do not gather there like they do here. It is only for serious sparring, not a casual type!

[maximoff_girl]

I... don't know what casual sparing is. ... You either fight or you don't. [How limited your world view is, Wanda.]

[niceguypose]

But there are many different ways to fight! For a casual spar... you would not be giving it your all. It would be much less intensive, perhaps even playful!

[maximoff_girl]

Ohhhh... [She almost has it and then-- nope, sorry, it's gone again.] Hmn. But-- people are still getting hit? [She has stopped dancing by this point. She can't dance and think at the same time, not when it's something like this.]

[niceguypose]

In a friendly manner, yes!

[maximoff_girl]

... I guess... I just don't like being hit. I thought that was just a... something you did to people you were angry with. [No, Wanda. You shouldn't hit ANYONE, even if you're angry. Jeeze.]

[niceguypose]

Of course not! By striking each other in spars, we challenge each other to grow and improve through the pain. In the end, it is helpful! [He looks way too excited about all of it.]

[maximoff_girl]

... Yeah... but. I mean. [Wanda is having a hard time arguing this. Training IS good, and helping one another improve IS something everyone should do but... IT STILL SEEMS ODD, SOMEHOW.] I just. ... HQ isn't a place where people should be hit.

[niceguypose]

Very well, that is your decision. I will be sure to conduct my spars elsewhere.

[maximoff_girl]

... Thank you. ... I appreciate it. [Now she has to consider "Hitting people for fun" as a thing in life.]
