November Theme Night

[poison_lipstick]

The club's VIP list wasn't all that long, so when one of them made a request - something that happened pretty infrequently, really - Saffron was happy to do what she could to fulfill it. Tony had made a request for theme night, which was why the theme this month was superheroes. Saffron knew Tony Stark was never really one to shy away from

He'd seen the movie at some point, and since Bill hadn't wanted to dress as someone on the island or someone those people might know personally, he'd decided on Mr. Incredible for his theme night costume. He had a mask on, but his height and long red ponytail made him recognisable still, and the nice thing was that this particular outfit didn't have any annoying props to carry around.

He played downstairs as usual, the fake abs on his costume thankfully not interfering too much when he had his bass on. Between sets he mingled, dashed upstairs when he could to catch one of the girls' performances, and had a drink or two.

Superheroes. Muscles in over-zealous proportions packed tightly into spandex costumes. It was a theme Guy could appriciate.

For himself he had, however, chosen something simple. He had come dressed as John Constantine. It was a comic book character Michael had once compared him to and to dress like him required no more than wearing a suit and a brown raincoat. Oh, and a cigarette. He needed to smoke at all times. One had to remain in character.

He lit his second fag with the burning end of the first and headed to the bar.

Rachel was never into comics or any of that as a kid. And as a teenager she was kind of busy having sex. But this Elektra costume? Hot. Her long hair is down and messy and she's rocking the bell out of the red pleather. She's even managed to incorporate some fake whatever these weapons are called. The sharp pointy things. She's first up and now that she doesn't offer private dances has the rest of the night to thoroughly enjoy herself.

The shield was propped against the bar and Jack leaned against the wall wearing a Captain America costume. It fit him really well, even if it did make his hair itch. Other than Surpeman, it was one of the few comic book heroes he knew. The Captain had fought the Nazis, Jack remembered that.

And he liked the Captain part.

Chase didn't really pay that much attention to the strippers. Under normal circumstances this would have made him sound pretty gay, but since there was a powerful male presence at the club, it actually had the opposite effect.

His various casts, splints and sutures finally off, Chase had returned to 'work' in time for theme night. He'd dressed up as The Spirit, a suit with a fedora, mask and skinny red tie, because it was as far from the realm of recognizable as he could get on very little effort.

When he saw Harkness, though, any effort to look genial and easy going and not like he was contemplating getting his hands on another bike to crash, harder this time, went out the window. He stood stock still for a while before trudging over to stand next to the older man, expression unreadable but strangely hard.

"What are you doing, man."

"Playing dress up, Chase," Jack smiled, his blue eyes flashing brightly. "Though, I'm kind of starting to rethink this. It's making my hair itch. And my ears are sticking out."

[apoorupbringing]

Chase shook his head, compulsively pulling the hat off his head and raking his hand back through his canon-inaccurate blond hair.

"Shit. No, dude, you can't- this is like, blasphemy. I mean, it's Cap, that's- Captain America. You can't- You don't play dress up' as Captain fucking America. It's just... It's just wrong!"

Besides Drag Night, which he had refused to participate in but then Helen had had other acts to cover so he didn't fell to bad about it, theme nights were becoming Xander's favorite nights of the month. He had his usual rotation of routines but theme nights let him get super creative and come up with some thing fun.

Since tonight was superhero night, Xander was doing double duty. After someonee had given Helen the idea for her costume, she'd asked him to dress as Conan the Barbarian to match. He didn't mind, as long as he could go with his original idea for his dance and you know...so he'd have clothes to take off.

It took him a good hour or so to get comfortable in the costume. Sure, being half naked on stage was one thing, but walking around like a Schwarzenegger wanna-be was another. Still, it made Helen happy and eventually he got over it, grinning and joking around with the rest of the crowd.

When it was time for him to dance, Xander went back early to chance. The music started to play, a Jim Morris cover of the William

Saffron made sure to catch Xander fairly early in the evening, long before he was due to change costume, since she wanted to see him in his Conan getup. When she spotted him, her smile lit up her face, and she made her way over to him.

"You look perfect," she praised, laying the palm of one hand to his bare chest ostensibly for balance before she leaned up to press a soft hello kiss to his lips.

Seeing Helen so happy, Xander couldn't help smiling a bit bashfully and be a little more comfortable in the get up. If he shivered a bit when her hand touched his chest, he pointedly ignored it. He returned the kiss politely for a moment before pulling his head back. "Thanks boss lady. You know I'd only pretend to be Schwarzenegger for you." Finally getting a look at her outfit, he couldn't help whistling appreciatively. "And you don't look to bad yourself. Animal looks good on you."

[poison_lipstick]

It wasn't a long kiss, nor particularly deep, was in fact practically chaste, but Saffron still had to take half a second before she responded.

"I appreciate it," she replied, back to smiling again. "And thank you. I think all this silver's gonna look good up on stage. I'm looking forward to seeing your other costume, too. What was it? The...Lone Ranger?"
