The club is set up to look like an old fashioned

Then he caught sight of himself in the mirror and immediately disregarded that idea. Unless someone could present him with a viable reason why angry, vengeful friends would dress him in a vintage suit and abandon him in a public bathroom ( ... )

Scanning the room again, Kaylee's heart skipped a beat as she saw Billy, looking around dazedly. She was sure it was him- he was wearing the same clothes that Barney had been when he'd picked her up, but it was that indefinable something that told her it was Billy.
Or, perhaps, just the confused look on his face.
Biting her lip and working up her courage, Kaylee walked towards him.
"Hi, Billy," she said, her voice only just loud enough to be heard over the music.

Several seconds dragged by as he gaped, eyes wide as saucers. Was he awake? He didn't feel totally awake. Maybe he was dreaming. Still drugged. Hallucinating. And not about to have the confrontation he'd been dodging for a month.
"K-kaylee..." he stammered, and then didn't know where to go from there. She looked, he realized with a sinking feeling, every bit as beautiful as ever. All cleaned up and dressed like a princess; it reminded him, with a sharp stab, of New Years and what it had felt like to hold her. To tell her how he...
He wrenched his eyes away, looking frantically for a way out of this.

"Are you alright?" She asked, still concerned over Barney's 'plan'. "Nobody really explained how you was going to get here. I still can't even really believe that you are here," Kaylee said, her nervousness at seeing Billy again causing her to chatter on a little bit.

Ianto paused only long enough to check his coat at the coat check before trailing in, blue eyes flicking about with obvious enjoyment. Ladies in dresses, gents in suits, all of them drifting by, singularly or together. Occasionally, Ianto paused to chat with someone he knew from the cafe, or from about town in his quest to actually get to the bar. He figured that was a good place to start.
And as he mingled and drifted, he held the plastic box close, to keep it from being crushed.

"Mr. Jones, I presume?" He couldn't keep the cheesy grin off his face.

It was Valentine's after all.
Afterwards, he smoothed Jack's tie free from creases and held up the flower. "Maybe I can pin it to your braces?"

Valentine's really had never been his thing. It was an outdated holiday that eventually drifted to the wayside by his time. But, there were still people who celebrated it out of nostalgia.
"I think that would be the best place for you to put it." Jack settled both hands on Ianto's hips. As if he was going to be running away from him sometime soon.

Wisely, Moira wore a coat from the time Zak had arrived, so he hadn't seen her in her dress yet. He could however see her completely pulled back hair (something he would have to thank Lulu for later), as well as her shoes, which brought her already formidable height up a few more inches, and jewelry. The coat was longer than the dress itself. She'd kept the gift for him in her purse until later.
Lulu had taken Clarice by the arm as they had headed out. She was in a dress reminiscent of the forties with her blonde hair teased to match the correct era.
"Isn't this going to be awesome?" Lulu said to Clarice as she put some of the things she and Kaylee had baked onto a table.
Reply
She helped Lulu arrange the confections with the ease of several months of practice at the bakery, sneaking looks around at all the wonderful clothes. "Mm," she agreed softly. "I think... it's going to be fun." Moira and Zak were here together, which made Clarice happy, and she was enjoying seeing all the other couples around.

Teddy was struggling to be set down so he could run ahead, but Harry's grip was like glue as they walked down the cold streets. They weren't supposed to have Teddy with them to begin with, but now Harry refused to let him go. It was weird enough feeling uncomfortable out on these streets alone, bringing Teddy out with them was enough to give him the chills. Fighting with his irrational paranoia a moment longer, he glanced up at Snape with a pointed look and Apparated directly to the Jazz Club and waited in front for Snape to catch up.

He waited until Harry and Teddy Disapparated, then followed right behind them, appearing beside them. Nodding toward the entrance of the club, he ushered them inside, searching the room for any sign of trouble. Seeing no overt threats, he slid his wand into the holster on his sleeve.
"Are you certain you want to do this?" he asked Harry again as Teddy finally wiggled from Harry's grasp.
Reply
"Yeah." Of course he wasn't sure if he wanted to. They had to.

"Would you like something to drink?"

Valentine’s Day was just a stupid hallmark holiday. But it was a great excuse.

But Pellew promised himself that he would spend time getting to know the inhabitants (even if working on the Indie was tempting...). So he found a suitable costume (because seriously, was it going to be anything other than a uniform?), and wandered casually into the club.
One of the first faces he saw, not long after arriving, was the young lady he remembered from a previous gathering.
"Hello," he said, tipping his hat to her. "Fancy seeing you here."

"Hello sailor", she smiled, punning his costume. She was really glad to see a friendly - or recognizable - face, Robin had been certain she would have to spend the night talking to only Lulu if she wasn't pulled away for another doublegangner gag. Maybe Kaylee was around too... "Edward, right? We met at that Kareoka bar place like a month ago."
