bachelor party!

[the_real_ray]

Ray would deny it till he turned blue in the face if anyone had ever asked him, but somehow fate had decided that one Stanley Raymond Kowalski was one of his best friends on the island. Yeah, who saw that one coming? Ray mostly blamed it on the fact that Stanley was all he had left from home and tried not to think too hard about it. So when one

After she finished her performance, Mimi scooped up her clothes and hurried off to dress again, then came back out to mingle, maybe even get lucky. She wrapped the silky leopard print robe with the black marabou trim she'd started the dance in tightly around her and leaned against the wall, shooting inviting, flirtatious glances in the direction of anyone who made eye contact with her. Male, female, didn't matter to her.

"Hey!" Newbie all but bounces over to her. "Hey! I liked your dance! How d'you get your hips to move like that?"

[measure_love]

Mimi grinned at the hyper man. "Years of practice, baby," she purred, touching his shoulder lightly. "Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it."

[frooty_o_s]

"Years?" Newbie considers this and continues undeterred. "I bet I could do it! You wanna see?"

[measure_love]

"Uhhh...sure." She dropped her hand again, giving the guy a small grin. Maybe he was mentally deficient, or something. He kinda reminded her of this homeless guy she'd known back in Alphabet City, actually. Sweet guy--completely nuts.

"Go ahead, honey. Show me."

Newbie isn't an accomplished dancer by any means, but he does have a certain graceful, if manic, energy about him, and he displays it in a quick burst of pelvic thrusts interspersed with something not unlike a bellydancer's swinging hips, his shirt rucked up to give her the best view possible. "How's that!"

[measure_love]

Mimi pressed her lips together, trying not to laugh. "That was...real good. Where'd you learn to do that?"

[frooty_o_s]

"The store I worked at," Newbie tells her excitedly. "Nobody came in between two and five a.m. hardly, so I got to turn the music up real loud and practice."

[measure_love]

"...And that's what you practiced?" Mimi couldn't help a little giggle. "Where're you from?"

[frooty_o_s]

"Toronto, and yeah, I danced, 'cause it was way more fun than bookkeeping." Newbie scratches at the back of his head. "I did that, too, though, so I didn't get in trouble."

[measure_love]

"Toronto in Canada?" At least he was from somewhere she'd heard of, and not just in fairy tales or Disney movies. "I'm from New York. Alphabet City."

"You did bookkeeping?" Okay, so he wasn't mentally deficient--just a spazz. Kind of reminded her of Mark, if he'd been drinking anyway. "That's cool. I was a dancer back home, too. It's a living."

[frooty_o_s]

Newbie nods yes to Canada and looks excited about dancing in New York. "I bet! I wanted to do that, sometimes, at the clubs? The boy ones? But my mom wouldn't let me." Newbie looks her up and down and decides she could kick an ass or two if she wanted. "What'd you do if people touched you, bite 'em?"

[measure_love]

Mimi laughed aloud at that, at the idea of someone actually wanting the life she'd led. "That's what the bouncers were for, mijo, though I've slapped a man or two with grabby hands in my time." Usually when the bouncers were already on their way over, though.

Or when that was what they wanted.

Tosh couldn't help but shoot glances at the girl. She'd tried not to watch too much, but how could you not? No matter how you put it, she was sexy.

Even thinking that turned her red.

After a moment she made her way down the bar, leaning over, hoping to grab her attention. "Hi. That... You did really well up there."

[measure_love]

Mimi smiled and glanced over, then froze. Oh, holy shit. "...Thanks," she replied awkwardly after an open-mouthed pause. Ohhh boy. Yeah, she knew that body all too well, though she'd never actually met its rightful occupant.

[toshiko_san]

Tosh caught the momentary pause and smiled shyly, waving her hand back towards the bar. "Would you like a drink? I think, I mean, I'm bartending. We have lots." Even to her it sounded fairly lame, she could just imagine Owen watching her attempt to flirt with this girl and laughing. "I'm Tosh by the way," she said a bit more clearly, holding her hand out. "Tosh Sato."
