Part geisha, part gothic, Lulu stepped out on the town, dressed to thrill, as always.

She wasn't officially working that day, although--technically--she was always on-call, but she couldn't resist stopping by Kisten and Jean-Claude's while she was in the neighborhood.

She had a feeling neither Kisten, Jean-Claude, or their new bouncer would mind seeing her either.

Kisten smiled as Lulu entered the restaurant. "Why, hello, Miss Lulu. First drink's free." He gave her his biggest smile, gesturing to one of the plush barstools.

"Kisten, lovely to see you," Lulu replied, blowing him a kiss as she perched on the stool, draping herself against the bar in a move that was both elegant and sensual.

Humming over choices on the drink menu, she hovered between her standard Godiva Martini and a Sogni di Notte (or Dreams in the Night), before finally deciding to break with the status quo and order a Bellini.

Things were looking a little slow, so she sent a text message to some of her friends to see if she couldn't help liven things up, but her attention was on Kisten the whole time.

"So, don't be a stranger Kisten," she teased, "How've you been since last week?"

Sliding the drink Lulu had ordered expertly down the bar to her, Kisten shot a winning smile. "I've been well, thanks for asking," he said pleasantly, dropping himself on his elbows across the bar from the lady. "You done anything I should be aware of?" he asked, waggling his eyebrows.

It was only possible through some grand deity's will that the two members of the Turks who had promised to come crash the party actually arrived in one piece. Arabella, even more miraculously, was parked outside, in all her sleek Ducati beauty, without a single scratch. The trick was this: Reno had driven Tseng's motorcycle the entire way on Elena's guidance alone, his eyes covered by her hands as he blatantly broke the speed limit

Elena had been begging for him to take her for a ride on the bike for...well, for what felt like forever. It should've been more than enough for her that Reno had agreed to pick her up on it. But it seemed like when the two of them were without the more levelheaded influence of the other Turks, they always found ways of upping the ante

It had been a while since he had been out of his apartment after the run in with that... thing. His scars on his face were visible from a mile away, reaching from the side of his head and down to the end of his jawline. Ragged claw gashes they were. He wore a simple loose white shirt with his leather jacket over the top, his hands stuffed in his blue jean pockets. His blue eyes noted the sign of 'free drinks'. God when was the last time he ever drank? He couldn't even remember. Perhaps after his old man died? Who knew

[quod_mutos]

Kisten smiled charmingly, his "oh, don't worry, I don't bite" grin at his three new customers.

"What can I get for you three to drink tonight?" He gestured to the sign in the window. "First drink's free, and we pay pretty well, too." He winked at Elena, specifically, and gestured to three of the comfortable barstools down the bar from Lulu a few seats.

Tommy stood by the door, awaiting trouble and appearing to be looking for some. His bouncer's outfit seemed a bit ill-tailored from the way he tugged at it; he flashed a wicked grin at anyone who entered.

"Welcome to Guilty Pleasures," he said to the customers as they entered. Manners. Ah well.

[chasing_fury]

During a lull in the activities inside, Lulu slipped over to the doorway to see if she could sneak up on the bouncer. "Hey there, handsome," she whispered, "Looking for a distraction?"

[need_for]

Tommy wasn't so easily snuck up on at the moment. He gave her a more approving grin.

"Just so long as it doesn't get me fired." he said.

[chasing_fury]

"Don't worry," Lulu said, leaning casually next to him as if she'd come out for a smoke-break...though she had no cigarettes at the moment. Just a lighter that she twirled between her fingers.

"Your bosses are old friends of mine," she added, dropping Tommy a slow wink. "I doubt they'd fire you for keeping an eye on me--making sure I don't get any unwanted attention."
