The Sci-Fi Party

[Smiler]

It was the first time Michael had ever been to the Hellfire Club; he decided that this time was as good as any to take a look at the place, even though he wasn't much of a party person and he wasn't sure the nightclub music and atmosphere would be completely safe for his heart.

Wearing something that distantly resembled a spaceman outfit from a 60's movie, he came in, making it just in time for the first show of the evening. Carefully he made his way through the crowd, not looking around much.

[Golem]

Golem had been observing the crowd for a bit, his eyes going this way and that as he drank his beer. Eventually, he spotted a young woman with blue hair. He was sure he had seen her before somewhere, but couldn´t sort in, where. Here maybe? Or in passing at the Intstitute when he had interviewed Xavier? Her hair was a striking enough feature to remember. He waited till she looked his way, then nodded in a friendly hello.

Shade narrowed her eyes slightly. "Who says I don´t have my own plans at world domination underway already?" she prompted back.

"You look like you do," Lance admitted, nodding his head to the sides. "Wanna dominate the dancefloor first?"

[Shade]

The music had picked up pace, turning into a frantic staccato that was mirrored in the flashes of the laser show. Shade didn´t go out for dancing that often, but when she did, she was easily caught in the beat, just like now. "Sure," she said, pushing past him and turning across her shoulder to see if he´d follow. "come on, monster boy."
She briefly had a casual look around to see if she could spot Gambit anywhere but couldn´t. Which wasn´t a suprise, because the crowd was getting rather heated, some dancing, some merely watching the show. Shade preferred to have both.

[Everyone Else]

The artist began first, before the lasers entered the scene.

[Avalanche]

Still keeping in character and pretending to make stealthy alien-warrior moves, Lance followed the Wonderwoman, roaring and raising his arms at occasional Trekkies and Jedis.

[Shade]

So many guys, Shade thought with bemusement, and you, Shadey, end up being hit on by the most obvious weirdo.
She started to give in to the beat some more as she entered the dancefloor, partly distracted by the lasershow. This was a cool party, she thought, wondering whether Gambit did those more often.
"You know," she said, turning to the guy, still dancing. "this is probably not the most practical costume to hit on girls."

Alex looked up and then followed Violet's pointing, in case there was something particular she wanted him to notice. Not having noticed, though, he leaned over to her ear so that she'd hear him over the booming music. "What's so funny?" he asked.

Alex's breath on her ear made her shiver and she closed her eyes for a second. "It's not funny," she replied, leaning in as he had to be heard, "I just laugh when I get excited sometimes."

[Havok]

"Okay," Alex smiled, still keeping close while they were talking, "I'll keep that in mind." He started watching the show, finding it very pretty. He suspected that the artist performing it was using his mutant abilities to control light, and he'd never seen anyone with such a spectacular mutation. His was, according to Violet, pretty, but he seriously doubted that it could ever have any creative, artistic application like this. Not to mention that it was just dangerous.

[Avalanche]

Lance laughed. He was having fun portraying the grisly Predator. "Well, I didn't put it on to hit on girls," he informed her. "I just think it's awesome."

[Shade]

Shade shot him a wide grin. "I like that," she said, meaning it. "More people should do stuff just because it´s awesome."

Emily noticed the man nodding at her but she couldn't place his face in her memory. Maybe he was someone from the university? She gave a small polite yet shy smile back, not wishing to acknowledge an aquaintance she couldn't recall.

[Gambit]

Gambit stopped to look at the show for a while, to enjoy what he'd put efforts in to bring to the club. He also used the moment to watch the purple-haired girl, whose revealing costume was partly lit by the black light now, making her look even more interesting. The party had definitely been worth it, he told himself, at least for a chance to see women dressed like that.

[Deleted]

Betsy finished her drink and ordered another. She'd been waiting awhile and was starting to think the man she'd seen wasn't coming. She started to look around for another prospect, but did not turn around. The light show made it difficult to identify anyone in particular, so she decided to wait for it to end before making another choice.

The girl noticed him and returned the greeting but, looking into her direction, Elias noticed she was not alone. So much for that, he thought. He had not meant to flirt, but would have welcomed a little chat, probably with a few disguised questions thrown in later, but abandoned that plan for now. He didn´t want to appear like some sort of creep.
