Want to model your find?
*bats eyes and smiles mischievously*
Oh no....I couldn't.....I'd feel silly!

But here it is........

*Takes the dress from the bag and shows Celeste.*

I don't think it's too low cut!

*Keeps a wary eye on what Krieg is doing.*

*She takes the paints from Orchid and starts mixing colors on a palette, capturing the magic of winter and starlight. She looks at the brushes disapprovingly and goes to the sink to wash a few...*

*Finishing the Canvas sign, Ju grabs a ladder, some ropes and ties the sign between two Palm trees.*

WINTER BALL
DEC 21 AT THE PARADISE BEACH CLUB
ENJOY GREAT FOOD, MUSIC AND FRIENDS.

*Starts re-arrainging the chairs and tables, making extra room on the dance floor. then Ju busies himself with the decoratons. hanging crystal icicles and beads to simulate snowfall.*

*She had arrived again, it made her wonder why she had been lucky enough to come back so many times. Once inside she took a place by the window and started sketching*

Oh, Hi Jen.

*pauses*

JEN!

Gotta favor to ask you...

A favor? I'm not sure what I can do...

A favor? I'm not sure what I can do...
*Looks at her sketches posted everywhere.*
oh yeah, you'ld be perfect... I need you to design an Ice sculpture for the entrance to the club.

As you may not know, tomorrow there will be a Ball here. and due to the regular standards of planning... :rolleyes: things still need to be done.

can you help me?
*gives the best 'lost puppy look' he can to Jen.*

Umm... What would I have to do?

Umm... What would I have to do?
Sketch something... anything you think would look nice.

Okay...

*She looked down at her sketchpad and tried to think of something to draw*

Winter?

*works on the sound system... making sure everything is ok.*

Hey Jen... you hungry?

since it's just the two of us, let me treat you... whaddya want to eat?

*She looked down at the pad lying on the table. In a moment she'd drawn a few lines and she kept working hardly looking at the paper for a moment. Then she looked down, scowled and crumpled it up. Again and again she repeated this pattern, a few lines and then she destroyed the paper.*

*After about a dozen tries she had something that she could flesh out. She ripped the page and sketched from her drawing.*

Will this work, Ju?

*She handed him a sketch of the main entrance of the club, it was covered in more snow than the climate would ever allow. Through the window each of the patrons backs were carefully sketched standing around a fire in the hearth.*

:D Perfect.

You're really good, you know.

*She looked up at the table she was at surrounded by crumpled papers with a grimace*

Yes, I'm outstanding.

*She looked up at the table she was at surrounded by crumpled papers with a grimace*

Yes, I'm outstanding.*sees her expression.*
hey, at least you can quietly throw away your failures... I had to eat mine. :D

Hmm... which is more appropriate? Are what you eat or reap what you sow? Eat what you reap?

Hmm... which is more appropriate? Are what you eat or reap what you sow? Eat what you reap?
Hmm... both are appropriate. but what is important is that you didn't let past failures *motions at the crumpled papers* stop you from succeeding. *indicates final drawing.*

So long as I don't start needing to eat the failures...

So long as I don't start needing to eat the failures...
LoL... :D

but back to my earlier question. Do you want anything to eat?

I promise they won't be failures. :D

*She looked down at the floor.*

Something to eat would be fine but I'm really not sure what to eat. As you may have noticed I'm not too familiar with the local cuisine.

*goes into the Kitchen and after a few moments, comes out with two bowls of stew, a basket of Rolls, and a pitcher of Juice. Sets the table and motions Jen to join him.*

OOC: Gotta fix printers. BRB.

OOC: Sorry, had to go...

*She sat down awkwardly where he motioned and looked at the food then she quickly rushed out. She left a twenty on the table and all the completed pictures, but when she was gone so were the wadded pages she had left by her table.*

Wanders in, mildly concerned about Ju's new stew-sniffing habit. But she decided not to ask and went for her usual rum instead.

STOP!

Pulls her hand back abruptly, more than a little alarmed. But all is explained, and she accepts the bottle.

"This.. this is amazing! You didn't have ter get me anythin', though.."

Half of her mind was reeling over how much the thing must be worth. Part was trying to cope with the fact that she couldn't actually drink the rum, and the other part was generally dumbfounded over the whole situation.

*walks close to Jayne.*
since we're alone now... with no one to interrupt us...

*leans in close*

I wanted to tell you that this isn't the first Paradise Club. there was another one farther up the coast, over some cliffs.

It was destroyed a while ago.

"I think it's best to let fate deal the cards. All we got to do is make the best of our hand. Though it don't hurt to be prepared.."

She patted her cutlass lovingly.

"Awfully fond of diamonds, lad. Can't say I blame you. Function blended with beauty is a wonderous thing indeed."

"Awfully fond of diamonds, lad. Can't say I blame you. Function blended with beauty is a wonderous thing indeed."Actually the fact that they are the hardest substance drawn from the earth helps.

then again, you never seen my Meat Log.

"That would be the function I was referring to.."

She smiled slightly, then blinked in astonishment at the..er.. meat.

"I'm happy you showed me that. I was worried you were talkin' about something else for a moment, there."

"That would be the function I was referring to.."

She smiled slightly, then blinked in astonishment at the..er.. meat.

"I'm happy you showed me that. I was worried you were talkin' about something else for a moment, there."Hah! that one is reserved.

I've possibly belayed more people with this than actually killing them...

*Tosses the sausage into the trash can... and it dents the side of the can.*

Just about to turn in myself.

Good night.

*waits till Jayne is safely in her room. then turns down the lights, banks the fireplace and closes up.*


*For now.*

*he strolled slowly along the beach. he found himself a comfortable boulder, so to speak, and sat there in the cold sunshine, looking out over the still blue waters...*

strolls in and looks around to see no one there so he goed to a nice corner and stits down to wait for some one.

contents himself by making paper origami out of various paper napkins

after amassing a large numder of cranes he drops a match on them

*She stiffles a giggle behind her hand, her ears still searching for the sound*

*The entrance to the club is covered with a sheet of ice, giving the outside a Winter wonderland look. the ice covering the windows are etched with the figures of the patrons enjoying the fire and a each other's company.*

*Ju walks in and looks at the blazing table. then at Kreige.*

I told you to keep all flames smaller than a sausepan. :mad:

Haha!

And from the beach, a mighty roar and crash is heard. A practiced ear might recognize the sound as that of a small spacecraft entering the atmosphere and failing to land, impacting in a spectacular way.

A truly practiced ear would recognize the noise as the preferred mode of arrival for Commander Michael Haase of New Exodus.

Down in the smoking wreckage, an impossibly intact fuselage opened up, and a tanned young man in a black military uniform stumbled out, smiling happily at the surroundings. It had been another good landing.

Meg walked in with her dress cleverly hidden and a load of bags and boxes.

'you guys wanna help me set up?' she said with a wide smile.
'hey LP hun' she said giving him a quick hug.

Or maybe not so peace

*ducks for cover and starts sneaking*
*darting her eyes, she sees she's let the pirate escape... and now the fun begins. she edges towards the trees, slowly.. then darts*

'duh, setting up for the ball!!!!' Meg said, pointing her hand in the shape of a gun to her head.

'well not set up yet, but bring in all the decorations, the band are going to be here soon,so the stage needs to be swept and the electrics tested' Meg said, bringing out her list of to-do's

that pyromaniac?
yeah, he came in looking for you.

This morning he burned a table and almost the club down.

OOC: his connection fixed itself minutes after you left.

Meg hears LP ask Celeste to the ball and her heart drops a little, but she was riding on the false hope that Kreige would turn up.

*freezes with a snowball in hand*

uhh.... Hello.... I come in peace?

Commander Haase looks up and smiles politely. "That's good to hear, thank you. Oh, and be careful not to compact those snowballs too much. I took an iceball in the sternum the other day, and I'd hate for anyone else to suffer the same fate."

He turned and trudged up towards the bar.

*whispers* you should have ran

*sits on Celeste and puts a snowball down her neck*

'hmmmmmm, bit touchy tonight?' she said, they were quite close.

'so who are you taking?' She asked.

Well, if you guys don't need me, i'll go warm up in hot bath... See you tonight.

*she turns and saunters off, thinking of what to wear*

'Celeste, if you wanna dress come with me to ballroom, i have a surprise for you' she said with a wink.

'hmmmmmm, bit touchy tonight?' she said, they were quite close.

*hangs his coat up before downing the offered pint in 2 gulps*

Man did I need that. You just cant get a good pint in Vegas.

*adjusts his sunglasses*

His bald scarred head and black sunglasses reflected the light as he moved from the doorway. A feral grin spread across his manyscarred, chinstrap bearded face.


Anything new happen while I've been away?

'hey Tull' Meg said as she finished on her mobile phone.

'well, umm, we need to talk' she said, she took his hand, not with its usual tightness.

'I want a divorce' she said.

Oh wow...look at the entrance.....that ice sculpture has to be Ju's doing!

*Slides in through the door, slips the shoes on and stands beside the bar feeling conspicuous.*

'hey Orchid' Meg said drearily, her hair was messy and she was not prepared at all, she still had mucky overalls on.

'hey Orchid' Meg said drearily, her hair was messy and she was not prepared at all, she still had mucky overalls on.
Oh...hi.

Have I made a boo-boo?

I thought the ball was tonight......

'yeh the ball is tonight, everyones gone to get ready' Meg said, looking like a damp day

'yeh the ball is tonight, everyones gone to get ready' Meg said, looking like a damp day
So what's wrong with you then?

I thought you'd have put that gorgeous dress on by now.......

*Pulls the coat a bit tighter round herself.*

*saunters down the stairs in an elegant black, strapless ballgown*

'Rambo came in just now, lets just say that' she said, a little tear ran down her beautiful soft face.

'so your going to ball with Ju, you'll look a gorgeaus couple - i am flying solo' she added.

*saunters down the stairs in an elegant black, strapless ballgown*

Wow.

Now, if I could only find something to match that...*returns to rummaging through a closet*

*saunters down the stairs in an elegant black, strapless ballgown*
Woohoo....look at you Tink.....very nice!

@ Meg

I thought you'd left him anyway......

*wanders downstairs in his usual black jeans and t-shirt. he quirked a brow as he entered the club and saw all the fancy clothes*

well thats just dandy. im underdressed.

*he shrugged and found his way over to the bar*

'i did, but i had to tell him didnt i, and just as i said it, his pager went and he was off, so glad i am not with him' Meg said smiling.

'I had better go get changed, the band have just arrived, direct them to the stage please?' Meg asked as she collected her things to go and get ready.

Woohoo....look at you Tink.....very nice!

@ Meg

I thought you'd left him anyway......
thanks, now get that coat off!


and Meg, honey, Rambo's a good friend of mine so it truley pains me to say this but he's being a complete jerk but don't let him ruin your night, what you need to do is go put on a dress, forget about him for tonight and maybe even get yourself some under-the-mistletoe action!

*wanders downstairs in his usual black jeans and t-shirt. he quirked a brow as he entered the club and saw all the fancy clothes*

well thats just dandy. im underdressed.

*he shrugged and found his way over to the bar*

'well hellooooo, you can borrow a suit and attend our ball' Meg said, as she quickly left, she fished out a suit from her trunk.

*hands it over*

'Changing rooms are over there' she said pointing with a wink, she then carried on to her cabana.

Ah, jeez, which one to wear, which one to wear...*clattering and rustling from the closet, with the occasional muffled curse*

'i did, but i had to tell him didnt i, and just as i said it, his pager went and he was off, so glad i am not with him' Meg said smiling.

'I had better go get changed, the band have just arrived, direct them to the stage please?' Meg asked as she collected her things to go and get ready.
Okey dokey......

*Brings the band through to the dancefloor area, and directs them to backstage.*

*he took the suit and held it out at lengeth looking it over*

i dont supose this place has an in-house tailor? this is a wee bit small for me.

Meg put her dress on, arranged her hair beautifully and wore her favourite sparkling jewelry, the dress was shades of pale blue and lilac with sparkle sprinkled gently all over it.

she walked downstairs with her clicky heels, she longed to see Kreige, but she knew he probably wouldnt turn up.

*he took the suit and held it out at lengeth looking it over*

Ah well I suppose I'll have to, it's too hot in here anyway.

*Goes to the cloakroom and comes back out wearing an emerald full length dress, of which the skirt is a tulip shape and has a split to above the knee.

The bodice has tiny pearls sewn all over it.

Her copper coloured hair for once is tied up in a chignon, and pearls are threaded through.*

Ok...am I ok.....

*Bites fingernail.*

Black I'd say.....

ah. maybe theres something upstairs.

*wanders off back up to his room and scrounges around in it for awhile*

Yo, Slack. You can borrow one of mine. Guess I'm going with the black.

*more rustling from the closet*

There, that's not bad, is it? *Emerges in a black tux with a tartan vest, still wearing the sunglasses and a wayward sock stuck to his shoulder.*

wow, you look stunning, don't suppose Ju'll wanna swap dates with me do you?


*pulls her hand away from her mouth* no!

Meg peeled off the sock, giggled and handed it back to him.

'two newcomers on ball night, how lucky' she said glancing sadly at Orchid.

wow, you look stunning, don't suppose Ju'll wanna swap dates with me do you?


*pulls her hand away from her mouth* no!
*Giggles.*

Well if Ju don't show, I ;) might just take you up on that one Tink.....

that'l have to do i think.

*ambles back down the stairs still in the black jeans, but with the t-shirt replaced by a fairly form-fitting white buttondown with the top 2 buttons undone and a black sport coat*

Er, thanks. *Takes the sock and pockets it* I hope that one's mine.

*Giggles.*

Well if Ju don't show, I ;) might just take you up on that one Tink.....

*Helps herself to a glass.*

Well, I'll be backup if there's a need. If not, I'll probably, uh...I'm not entirely sure.

'i want Kreige to turn up, but....i dont know' she said constantly checking the door and tapping her foot to the jazz bands musicl

*Eyes widen*

Who is it Tink...anyone I know?
yep, you know him....

'Tink....is it Vex?' Meg asked quietly.

'i want Kreige to turn up, but....i dont know' she said constantly checking the door and tapping her foot to the jazz bands musicl
Look at the three of us.....

*Starts singing.*

Three liitle maids from school are we....

*Giggles.*

what must we look like.......all dressed up and all watching the door!

'Tink....is it Vex?' Meg asked quietly.
*replies equally as quiet* maybe

'Tink....is it Vex?' Meg asked quietly.
Vex?

Is it...oh Tink......I'm sooo pleased for you!

*Huggles*

Meg had to smile at Orchids little comment, although it was very true.

strange people here. they get all dressed up and just stand around listening to a live band.

*he took a sip of schotch as he leand back against the bar and ejoyed the music*

I wonder if there's a game on. If I don't wind up dancin', maybe I can at least catch some hockey.

Vex?

Is it...oh Tink......I'm sooo pleased for you!

*Huggles*
*huggle* thanks

C'mon Meg...lets get out there and show 'em how to shake....

Meg smiled and took Orchids hand and swung her around to the lively music.

'come on guys, join in!'

Meg smiled and took Orchids hand and swung her around to the lively music.

'come on guys, join in!'
Yes...and you Tink......

*sneaks in and sits at the bar facing the merry dancing*

*rearranges his bowtie*

Yes...and you Tink......
*shakes her thang*

Meg spotted LP and wouldnt let me get away with being discreet.

'oi, you, cheeky chops, join in'

*sneaks in and sits at the bar facing the merry dancing*

*rearranges his bowtie*
Hey LP......very smart.....come on join in the fun....

Can't I have a drink or two first? I'm sure I'll be a much better dancer after that.

*shakes her thang*

*grins somewhat absentmindedly, catching himself at the last moment before slipping off the barstool*

Gyuh, okay, I'm obviously not able to keep my balance sitting down, so I guess I'm in.

*leaps up and gets grooving*

Meg who had had a few drinks already, got onto the stage and started singing merrily along with the lead singer of the band.

* Raven wonders in and sits at the bar*
hello everyone

*quirks a brow at the girl who seemed to be named Meg and took another sip of his scotch, but didnt budge from the stool*

*he stood in front of the full length mirror and admired the reflection staring back at him*

:cool:

*dressed all in black, (Dolce & Gabbana, of course!) he made his way down the stairs and through the club, finally reaching the entrance of the hall where the Christmas Ball looked to be getting started. he stepped inside and gazed around the large room. then, his eyes fell upon a most wondrous sight...and his heart skipped a beat...*

Can't I have a drink or two first? I'm sure I'll be a much better dancer after that.

*Jocabia swaggers in - It's hard not to swagger when you have vegetables in your pants, apparently* Howdy, folks *tips hat at Tink and bows - mostly to get a better look at...*

Hey, LP *Kicks stool out from under him* You should be dancing.

*Wanders in from the beach, wrapped in a towel. Steam rising from his scarred up body*

oops I did it again

*takes a sniff of the room, which brings a small smile to his face*

I'd better put cloths on.

she got down from the stage and went to the bar.
'you're a very handsome wallflower' she said quickly as she gulped some water down.

*Will enters casually. He has dressed with great care. A full-length kaftan of hand-woven white alpaca wool. A wide leather belt with silver inlays helps contain his rather broad stomach. His grey flecked hair is neatly trimmed and his beard, which just barely reaches his belt, has a small jade stone and diamond braided on opposite sides.*

Good Evening All, Merry Christmas!

why thank you.
*he smirked and set his drink down on the bar behind him*

*Jocabia swaggers in - It's hard not to swagger when you have vegetables in your pants, apparently* Howdy, folks *tips hat at Tink and bows - mostly to get a better look at...*

Hey, LP *Kicks stool out from under him* You should be dancing.
*shakes hips then picks up the stool again*

A very merry christmas to you too Joc.

'but you should be dancing' she said, she took his hand and spun him onto the dancefloor among the others.

* Raven wonders in and sits at the bar*
hello everyone
*Waves to Raven*

Hi there!

*Gets a glass and fill it from the champagne fountain, takes it to LP....*

Sorry about that...

*shakes hips then picks up the stool again*

A very merry christmas to you too Joc.

Sorry, Elpy, but what the ladies want, the ladies get. *grins at LP and when he does LP notices they sparkle*

*Knocks a toothpick off the counter and bends over slowly to pick it up, turning his butt toward Tink*

*he stood in front of the full length mirror and admired the reflection staring back at him*

*stops dancing and smiles at Vex and wanders over* good evening, you're looking very handsome

Meg took to the stage, had a quiet word with the band and she took the microphone.

Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
If you can use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away

Come fly with me, let's float down to Peru
In llama land there's a one-man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Come fly with me, let's take off in the blue

Once I get you up there where the air is rarified
We'll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near
You may hear angels cheer 'cause we're together

Weather-wise it's such a lovely day
You just say the words and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away

Once I get you up there where the air is rarified
We'll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near
You may hear angels cheer 'cause we're together

Weather-wise it's such a lovely day
You just say the words and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly
Pack up, let's fly away!!

*smiles indulgently at Tullmore. Takes drink from Orchid*

and the Merriest of all Christmases to you, Orchid!
Thanks.....

I have hopes that it will be.....

wow they even have a Santa look alike though he should be in red
*Tull took a long look at his hands and swallowed hard, before heading back outside, leaving a little blood on the doorjam as he goes*

Sorry, Elpy, but what the ladies want, the ladies get. *grins at LP and when he does LP notices they sparkle*

*Knocks a toothpick off the counter and bends over slowly to pick it up, turning his butt toward Tink*
*wedgies Joc*

*suddenly found himself off his stool and in the crowd*

now how did i get over here?

*shook the dizzyness from his head*

Meg took his hands and danced with him.
'cant have a sexy specimen doing nothing all evening can we?!' she said after singing.

wow they even have a Santa look alike though he should be in red
*Tull took a long look at his hands and swallowed hard, before heading back outside, leaving a little blood on the doorjam as he goes*
*Calls out loud*

Hey Tull...you ok?

*She comes in and goes straight to the bar, putting a little container carefully in front of her on the top. She looks to see if Ju is around to mix her drink*

Nice work, Meg! Oh, by the way folks, to avoid confusion, "Matt" will do fine for adressing me, unless I wind up takin' one of you home tonight, in which case you're permitted to come up with something more endearing.

Fedorah, please!

*Takes the stage*

Here's one for lovers and dreamers.

*Begins a rendition of "Fly Me to the Moon"*

*She comes in and goes straight to the bar, putting a little container carefully in front of her on the top. She looks to see if Ju is around to mix her drink*
Hey Celeste......

*Waves.*

*She comes in and goes straight to the bar, putting a little container carefully in front of her on the top. She looks to see if Ju is around to mix her drink*
*runs up and looks over his shoulder to see if Joc isn't there*

Good evening Celeste.

*stops dancing and smiles at Vex and wanders over* good evening, you're looking very handsomeAnd a very good evening to you, as well, miss. If I may be allowed to say so, I do not believe I have ever laid eyes on a more beautiful young woman as I am right this very moment...

Hey Celeste......

*Waves.*

*she looks at Orchid in the dress she showed her last night, completely stunning*
Orchid *she goes for a hug* you look fabulous.. green is your color

i guess not.

*spins her once, catching the small of her back and dis her*

*runs up and looks over his shoulder to see if Joc isn't there*

Good evening Celeste.

Good evening, sailor. How long are you in for? *winks and smiles*

*Goes quetly to sit beside the fire, watching the flames flickering over and around the large log.*

*after several minutes Tull returned wearing his finest duds: sunglassess(as always) a leather vest and a ragged pair of black jeans. Sniffing the air he moved off toward the darker corner of the bar*

what a week. at least its over

*she looks at Orchid in the dress she showed her last night, completely stunning*
Orchid *she goes for a hug* you look fabulous.. green is your color
Thanks....only thing is, the person I'm wearing it for had to rush away for a while!

Good evening, sailor. How long are you in for? *winks and smiles*
I'm in here for life, so it seems. But with these inmates, I'm not complaining

Thanks....only thing is, the person I'm wearing it for had to rush away for a while!

*hugs again*
Hun, he'll be back... and well.. i can share my date in the meantime.. ain't that right LP?

*Tull finished off his third pint of Guinness, his left hand never leaving the bar's brass rail, before starting in on the wiskey*

*hugs again*
Hun, he'll be back... and well.. i can share my date in the meantime.. ain't that right LP?
*Huggles in return, and giggles.*

I'm not sure he'd want to share.....;)
