Blackout Bar

Pounding music made her vampire heart beat fast. In and out came her steady breathing as dark brown orbs watched the bodies dancing under the velvet lights. Swaying, spinning, killing it on the dance floor as they rocked multiple glow sticks. This was the dream she had imagined for so long. This was her paradise. The single thing missing was her brother dearest. A black mask with white lace and raven feathers covered her eyes. They were lined heavily with dark eyeliner and shadow. The queen of the scene was sporting a gorgeous black ball gown and elbow length black lace gloves. Her long black hair was curly and left hanging freely down her exposed back. A raven tattoo could be seen with the subtle movement of her hair. Said tattoo was located on her right shoulder blade. Abbie would make her way into the mess of bodies, swaying in time with randoms and grinning like a fool each time a new person stole her from the last.

Entered the black double doors, suddenly surrounded by people with glow sticks and velvet lights. This must be the new place everyone was talking about? Her eyes went to the people's outfits, they were all dressed up and here she was in her usual attire, a tee and some pants. She breathed in, how was she supposed to know that you were supposed to dress up in this club? Lunar was too familiar with Pulse, she should've asked someone before barging in. Her eyes left the people long enough to see the bar made of glass, that was interesting. And the bass that was blaring right now? Amazing. Lunar made her way over to the bar through the crowd, this place will be another one that she visits the most.

Abbie's keen nose caught the scent of a newcomer and she easily danced through the crowd toward the bar. She'd tap Lunar on the shoulder and lean closer where she could hear her over the bass, "Mind if I give you a welcome gift?" A lovely fanged grin swept over her ruby red lips and she teleported behind the bar as she waited for an answer. "My friends call me Abbie," she added, her voice thick with a hint of an old English accent, "I own this place." She watched the newcomer closely. She must feel awkward as can be among all these dressed up patrons. It had to be her first visit. She waited quietly. If she got a yes, she'd dress the newcomer up like one of her own. If no, she'd just load her down with glow sticks.

Lunar flinched when she was randomly tapped on the shoulder, she didn't expect that. When the girl leaned close to talk where Lunar could hear she would give her a fanged smile. "It'd be nice of you." She'd reply, "Pleasure to meet ya Abbie, nice place by the way!" Lunar did in fact, feel awkward. That was one reason she headed to the bar the first thing. Next time she'd know for sure how to come in. She smiled again, "My names Lunar." Most owners would've kicked her out by now, "Thanks for being kind."

Abbie was pleased with the answer she received. "Follow me," she laughed, adding with another smile, "Pleasure is mine I'm sure." Abbie was far from most owners. This one only kicked out those who caused problems for the guests. If Lunar had followed, she led her to a black door to the side with a raven design above the knob. She tugged a key from what would appear to be her bra and shoved it in the lock, twisting lightly. A 'click' sounded softly and the door opened with one swift motion of the wrist. Abbie stepped inside and turned on the light. It was a bedroom, her room perhaps? A huge dresser was on the far wall, which she went straight to. She yanked out a red dress and tossed to the female. Abbie's eyes landed on her treasure chest next to the dresser where she dug out a red pirate hat adorned with feathers. She tossed it towards Lunar also, followed by a black mask with raven feathers and lace. "I'll go back out there and let you change clothes," she grinned, "I'll be by the door if you need help with that blasted zipper or if something doesn't quite fit right. We'll find a new one if that's the case." With that, she exited and closed the door behind her, guarding it from outside.

She got up as instructed, and followed after Abbie approaching another black door, only this one had a raven on it. She laughed when Abbie had to dig for the key, it was rather smart however to keep it locked with such a crowd. Once it clicked and the door opened Lunar entered the room slowly as she flipped the light on, and once in? She was thrown a dress, hat, and a mask. "Umm.. thank you." She was rather shocked, but nodded when the Abbie said she'd be outside the door if needed. Lunar would shed her clothes and toss fold them in a pile for now, then she'd slip into the dress she was given. Lunar tried working with the zipper, and got it about half way. Poor girl couldn't reach her arm that high. She walked over to the door and cracked it, "Can you help?" She'd ask Abbie now.

[Your posts are eating mine ]

She was tapping her fingers against her side to the pounding beat of that killer bass while waiting. Her attention turned to the door when Lunar cracked it. A laugh sounded at her words and she nodded, slipping in through the crack in such a way that nobody could see a thing. She stepped behind her newfound friend and slid the zipper up for her easily, buttoning the top of it so it'd stay put. "There!" she grinned, looking her over, "It fits. That's great, because it's a tad bit too small for me now, so it's yours. Next..." Abbie suddenly handed to the nightstand by her bed and opened the top drawer. She scooped up a handful of glow sticks and laughed as she handed them over, "Pick your favorites and shove the rest back in there, then twist that lock on the door when you're finished and close it behind you. I'll be out on the floor. Have fun Lunar. If you need anything, just find me." With that, she left the room again and headed to the bar, whispering to one of her boys working, "If a girl wearing my red dress comes over for a drink, make it free. It's her first visit, so it's on me. Also, she seems cool, so be good.." She winked as she added, "Pass it on." Abbie then proceeded to the dance floor again.

Lunar laughed with her, while she slipped into the door. Once the zipper was fixed she smiled as Abbie talked to her. "Thank you so much. It's beautiful." Yep. One of the best people she's met tonight. She would tilt her head as the girl headed back over, this time to a nightstand. Glow sticks. Lunar smiled, taking the glow sticks before she told her to pick her favorites, lock and shut the door on the way out. "I will do that! See you on the floor soon." When Abbie left she'd look through the glow sticks and find one of every color that she had, and shoved the rest into the drawer, closing it. When she got ready to leave, Lunar turned out the light in case she wanted it off as well, twisted the lock then shut the black door. She then slid the glow sticks on her arms and the long one around her neck before heading out to the floor. Joining everyone dancing.

Abbie noticed Lunar exit her room from the corner of her eye and grinned as multiple dancers immediately locked eyes on the new arrival. The dress suit her and it wasn't a surprise that she instantly grew popular with the patrons. She was one of them now in that kind of outfit. Abbie danced her way over and shooed some of them away as she danced nearby, "This place is amazing huh? It's better than I could have hoped for when I first created it. I never imagined this many people would ever show up in a lifetime. I'm glad everyone loves glow sticks and dancing in the dark." She laughed playfully as she glanced to the bar, "I'm going to grab a drink." She teleported to the bar and sat down in front of it as if she were a guest, her red lips parting in order to speak up, "The usual." [Mine are getting shorter. ]

Blinked when people stared at her now, she couldn't help but laugh as Abbie shooed them away and danced nearby. It was funny how being dressed up changes the situation around people, she was looking like one of them could be why? "It is amazing. It's always great though whenever things turn out better than you plan." she'd reply, "Alright." Lunar watched her sit by the bar, she could have just grabbed the drink herself. Abbie was an interesting one that was for sure. For now Lunar danced until the song that was currently playing ended, then she would approach the bar and smiled to the worker, "A glass of wine please." [It happens, no worries.]

She had nodded in agreement at Lunar's statement. When she was joined at the bar, a big smile was given just as the bartender handed her a glass of thick dark red liquid. Abs took a drink of it, placing the glass tenderly onto the bar. "A fellow wine lover yes?" she grinned, "My current drink isn't wine, but I do love the stuff. Rum is good too when you want to feel like a pirate." She scrunched her nose up at her bartender when he raised a brow at her. "What?" she protested, "Got a problem with pirates?" When he shook his head just laughing at her and slid Lunar her drink, Abbie giggled. "That's what I thought," she smirked, that voice like sweet honey, "Because otherwise Sugar, I'd have to shove a glow stick up your nose and twist it sideways." The words were sweet, but somehow devious enough to be believable. She had a violent side when provoked.

Lunar laughed softly, nodding, "Yep!" She was slowly opening up to the new people, "Really now? I'll try that sometime." Another laugh was given when Abbie scrunched her nose. Lunar would take a drink of her wine after it was slid to her. That last line that Abbie said made her laugh harder, "W-what?" she couldn't help but ask. How would a glow stick fit up his nose and twist sideways? She looked to Abbie and scrunched her nose up playfully, "Some people just don't get it, pirates are awesome. All like RAWR!" Yep, that could be her energetic side kicking in or the wine. Who knew. All she knew right now was she was making a new friend, having a blast, and couldn't wait to tell Blood about her first time at this place. Blood would probably spazz at the glow sticks, they used to play with them waaay back. She had no idea that Abbie could be violent. Time would tell, maybe.

She burst out laughing when Lunar did over her glow stick comment. "I know right??" she grinned, "Pirates are amazing. I want to be a pirate, but I don't like boats so..." She shrugged casually, "That kind of cuts out my chances. I can't be a land pirate, because there's no such pirate. At least not that I've heard of." Perhaps she could be the first? Abbie would have to consider that eventually, but for now this place was paradise enough for her. Abbie's violent tendencies only showed themselves in certain circumstances, so Lunar may or may not eventually witness a show. "So where do you generally hang out Lulu?" she asked curiously.

He entered the bar slowly, eyes scanning the area quietly. Chaos looked sharp in that all black tux. He had heard of this place and decided to check it out. A simple white mask covered his dark eyes while his jet black hair hung in razorblade layers. He didn't recognize his old friend at the bar, especially all dolled up like that. He made his way over, not one for much dancing, and took a seat a few stools down. "I'll have a glass of wine," deep voice told the tender.

"Fo sho!" Lunar agreed, "You can always make a new trend?" she'd shrug now. She was caught off guard when Abbie had randomly asked about where she usually hung at out. She'd take a drink of her wine and place the glass on the bar, gracefully. "I usually hang out at Pulse. Blood and I go waaay back. Recently, me, Kelsey, Snappz, and Red have played truth or dare. But I haven't seen them around today. So I decided to check out the new place in town." She smiled now, "Which is how I ended up here!" She'd eye the person who just sat by the bar now, "Looks like this place is getting more and more people by the moment."

She blinked as Lunar suggested a new trend. Perhaps that would be on her bucket list now. Be a land-only pirate! "Pulse?" she asked curiously, then continued listening as she explained. She didn't know any of these people mentioned personally, but one name did stand out. "Red?" her voice was as steady as she could manage. It couldn't be her brother Red, could it? No possible way. Her heart sped up at the possibility that maybe it actually could be... There was a one percent chance. "That's cool," she grinned when Lunar finished talking. Her eyes also followed that gaze to the new person and she nodded, "Seems that way. He's quite the looker too, from what I can tell." She giggled goofily. She wasn't attracted to the male down the bar, just complimenting him. She watched as the bartender gave him his order. Another wine lover? She'd give it a few minutes and then say hello.

He overheard his daughter's name mentioned down the bar, as well as his wife and a few friends. Who was that girl? Dark eyes turned toward them and a smirk was given. "Sorry if I come across as rude, ladies, but if I might interject.. I'm the co-owner of that bar mentioned. Could I get your name, masked stranger?" He laughed playfully as he awaited Lunar's response. He added, speaking to Abbie now, "Your name would be nice to receive as well, if you'd openly give it."

Lunar smiled, not a lot of people knew about Pulse, "Yes. It's a bar founded by BloodLust." She laughed when she asked Red? "Mhm! The Famous Redifined Mayhem!" she smiled, "We, the whole group and I, used to hangout all the time. You mostly see Kelsey Bloodstone, Akio, or Red anymore though. I believe they've all found their own ways? Snappz was a customer there recently, but a good friend of Kelsey's so I consider her part of the group." Lunar frowned at that thought. Surely people would drop by and chat once and awhile.. Her mind was pulled back to reality, and she laughed, "I agree." She too was just complimenting him. Lunar gasped when she realized the male say that he was the co-owner, she knew right then who it was, "Chaos!!" She would squeal and hug him if he'd let her, "Where have you been!? It's been ages! It's me, Lunar!" She was all hyped and smiley now.

The moment that name left Lunar's mouth. The Famous Redifined Mayhem, Abbie's face turned pale with shock. The rest of it was just a haze as she nearly faded out of reality. She was pulled back when Lunar squealed the name of the man sitting down the bar. She knew him? Go figure. Abbie gulped when her own name was asked for and she spoke up, her voice shaking a bit now, "I'm Abbie, Abbriella Amelia Mayhem... The little sister of the man just mentioned... I miss my brother terribly, and I would love you for life if you could take me to him soon." She was still awestruck. Red was still alive too? Tears rimmed her eyes but she shook them back. Would he even recognize her?? "Welcome to the Blackout Bar, Chaos," she said smoothly after regaining her composure, "Any friend of Lunar's is a friend of my own.."

He gasped when he was basically jumped by the girl, hugging her back when she said who she was. "Lunar?? I had no idea it was you under there," he teased, "I'm not used to you being a ball gown wearing kind of girl." When Abbie spoke in her shaking voice, Chaos nearly choked on the drink of wine he had just taken. "You... You're... Alive??" he stammered clumsily. Red always said she had died.. Maybe he thought she did. Chaos nodded lightly, "Thanks, the place is great. Lunar and I will take you to see him the first chance we get. Right Lunar?" This was crazy... He felt like he was seeing a ghost.
