9th Case - The Lab in the Zone

[beltbucklerebel]

[It's the Monday after Easter and, just like any night (because the Lab's been here forever. What are you talking about?) Booth and Bren's club is open for business. The music is pounding, the drinks are flowing, and the dance floor is open for any and all.

Feel like dancing or drinking your sorrows away? Then this is the perfect spot for you]

THE BAR

[beltbucklerebel]

[drinks are half-price today as a sign of the holiday spirit. Or business ingenuity. Either way, it's good booze and a friendly barkeep. What better combination could you ask for?]

[breakmychest]

[...Spike knows something is up. Booth and Brennan are not married, and they sure as hell don't run a bar.

...but, half-price drinks. He'll figure the weirdness out later.]

[beltbucklerebel]

Spike.

[it's hardly a friendly greeting, but Bren likes him so he's just grimaces as he leans past him to catch Sweet's attention]

[breakmychest]

Seeley. [Spike's voice has much the same tone, with an edge of extreme confusion.] Nice... bar, you've got.

THE DJ STAND AND DANCE FLOOR

[beltbucklerebel]

[the music is loud and the beat is strong. You know you want to move. Or hassle Hardison to change the music. Either way.]

[thatsmy_niche]

[Change the music? Why would anyone want him to change the music? His beats are HOT.

As such, he's here, doing his DJ thing. If he spots someone he knows he'll grin and point to them in acknowledgment. But do feel free to stop by his booth and say hello. ]

[beltbucklerebel]

Hardison, my man! [Booth's in a good mood as he comes by to check up on his DJ] Everything going smooth?

[thatsmy_niche]

[Hey bossman! How 'bout a fistbump?]

Like a baby's bottom.

THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE

[beltbucklerebel]

[get past security and the hostess, check your coat (or flirt with the coat check girl) or just mingle if it looks a bit packed further in. We're not in a rush]

[ectobabble]

[Ray's trying to get his stuff together - in the course of giving his coat to said coat check girl, she smiled at him, and he got all flustered like a total derp, and dropped the manuscript he's been working on.

NOTES. EVERYWHERE.

he's scurrying to try and pick up the papers and the notebooks, now, frowning to himself]

Oh, man. Oh, geez.

((Wes has been and is going to be a busy boy today, but YAY for forward dated posts!))

[demonologist]

[Wesley Wyndam-Pryce arrives at the door. He's dressed very smartly and relatively clean shaven. For those who know him well, this may be unusual. He's sporting a fresh injury of some sort on his throat, but it's covered with a neat gauze bandage.]

[invisphilospher]

[Sees Wes on his way in and walks over]

Hey, man... Whoa. You cut yourself shaving or what?

BREN'S OFFICE

[beltbucklerebel]

[Is there a problem the bosses need to know about? Just hiding out from the crowd? Here's the place to be...until Bren tells you to get back on the floor, anyway.]

[whichswan]

[ For Nina, it's time to work, not party, and she's dressed accordingly in office wear, hunched over inventories. ]

[beltbucklerebel]

[when Booth steps into the office to find a number, he sighs a little when he sees Nina. It's not that he doesn't like her. She's just so... serious. Still, if she's in here]

Nina, have we got a number for that band that stopped by yesterday? We have a cancellation for next week and I want to get that gap filled asap.

[whichswan]

[ Inventories are boring, and so she fills her mind thinking about Wesley and Bren--when she hears Mr. B's voice. Nina looks up with a gasp, fumbles with her pen and drops it to the floor. ]

Oh--I'm sorry. I wasn't--[ She stands up. ] You said cancellation?

OUTSIDE

[beltbucklerebel]

[need a break from the noise? It's a beautiful spring night, perfect for chatting up that special someone you saw on the dance floor]

[madetothwart]

[He's actually supposed to be in the kitchens, as that's where a good cook is, but he's taking a short break out in the fresh air.]

[noamulets]

[ And she's supposed to be in the coat room but hey, girl needs a break, and there's no one about. It's early, who'd want their coat? ]

It's a good night.

[ Oh, she wishes - a little - that she could party too ]

[madetothwart]

It's certainly something different, and one can only hope it does the trick.
