Today on this the glorious fifteenth of April, Taxon has been in business for a full year- and so a celebration is in order, or so apparently think the hamster overlords in charge of tweaking their citizens.

The Palais Garnier is a beautiful place thus far mostly neglected by everyone who isn't its very lovely current owner, and that is a

The drum roll begins quietly, but soon builds to a crescendo. In its wake a bouncy, lilting tune begins and a narrow spotlight beam stabs the darkness of the stage. A hand appears in the beam, pale and elegant, forefinger beckoning as if to entice the audience closer. Gradually the spotlight widens to reveal a figure dressed in combat boots and a long black raincoat, lips stained brilliant red, eyelids smudged dark, hair styled in a multitude of perfect corkscrews. And bisecting his scalp is...a zipper.

Oh dear gods it's Glitch. And by the massive grin on his face he is thrilled to be there, so thrilled in fact that he may. Just. Start singing. Also dancing.

Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome!
Fremde, étranger, stranger.
Glüklich zu sehen, je suis enchanté,
Happy to see you! Bleibe, reste, stay.
Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome
Im Cabaret, au Cabaret, to Cabaret!Chorus completed, he took a commanding stance to address the audience. "Meine damen und herren, mesdames et messieurs, ladies..." He trailed off, leered, and arched an eyebrow

"I'm very skilled," Glitch informed her with a sage nod. Nevertheless he did pick up his right foot to study the boot's fit with a hum. "Well, I'd have picked a diffrent costume too. Something less restrictive."

He's completely sincere in this. Honest.

"I know," said DG, with equal sincerity. If anyone could manage to perform acrobatics in combat boots, it would be Glitch. He always managed to surprise her.

His second comment, however, surprised her in a slightly different way.

"Less restrictive?" DG would need a bit of clarification here. He wasn't wearing much of a costume to begin with.

[justaddmarbles]

By way of answer he grimaced and snapped one of the harness straps against his chest. "I love accessories but in this case I I'd rather have gone without. Actually, hang on, I'm gonna go change-"

He was halfway out of his seat when the houselights went down for the main show. "Oh," he said and sat down again. "I guess it can wait."

[tothelightshown]

"I liked the bowtie," DG offered, with a smile playing at her lips. The outfit, such as it was, would have been incomplete without it.

Before she could say anything else, the lights went down. Giving Glitch a final grin - a rather bemused grin, the product of both his performance and her random theories about what was going to happen next - DG settled back in her seat to enjoy the show.

Oh, that dance routine. Levi approves so much. It looks rather like something he would've liked to participate in-- like something he has participated in, if his wild basement parties are anything to go by.

And... well, the fact that it's Glitch? Levi's sitting here, kind of speechless, glancing over at Shane to see his reaction. If that was the opening act, the actual show is going to be beautiful.

Somewhere in between the second Willkommen and Glitch revealing his dancing skills with his troupe of nearly naked Extras, there is and will continue to be the sound of barely muffled giggling coming from the general vicinity of River Tam.

If asked, she will point at someone else.
