Penguin's Nest Grand Opening

Who: King DeDeDe, the employees of the Penguin's Nest, a whole bunch of succubi and incubi, and YOU
Where: The Penguin's Nest in the Taurus District
Summary: There's a new nightclub in town, and it's having its grand opening tonight
Warnings: This place is an adult entertainment venue, so potentially sex, drugs, alcohol, and things like that. Probably just regular mingling and chatting, though.

[Creepy graffiti be damned, this penguin has a club to open. It's been a busy few weeks: getting the electricity connected, hiring employees, orchestrating various demons that showed up looking for work that would suit their own appetites, and schmoozing with the locals in the area to ensure everything would go off smoothly without any native / visitor strife on the big night.

The work seems to have paid off, and the place is newly renovated and ready for business. The area around the entrance has been cleaned up, and there's a velvet rope outside to mark the building as something other than a simple warehouse. The door has an emblem of a cartoon DeDeDe giving a V-for-victory sign - his personal insignia from when he was still the king of Dreamland.

Piano music can be heard from behind the door, inviting visitors in for a night of adult pleasure. Do you enter?]

((OOC: The club is open for business! Threadjacking and mingling is encouraged. If there's anything I've missed, or if there's a location you'd like to play in that I haven't made a thread for, feel free to create your own.))

Riiiiight... what did you say you were again? I don't think it ever came up.

[Definitely not human, and definitely not demon or angel...]
jumyouboshi: i spent like 3 hours on this and it still looks kinda awful (CONVERSE  ✵ the voice calling out so)

[personal profile] jumyouboshi 2013-04-07 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Alcor avoided Kazuya's gaze for a very brief moment, almost imperceptible to a human (ah, but Kazuya didn't exactly count in that, did he?) before his eyes snapped back to the demon king's face. This was a matter he was certainly averse to discussing, even though he had been rather forthcoming about his name.]

I am one who desires to understand the workings of humanity.

[...Well, it wasn't exactly a lie, per se...just being avoidant. The nature of what he (or they) actually were was a touchy subject for both stars.]
belfire: (suspicious side squint)

[personal profile] belfire 2013-04-08 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, fine, you don't have to tell me.

[But it did spark Kazuya's curiosity, and he scrutinised Alcor very closely, leaning towards him and invading his personal space a little bit]

... are you a ghost?
jumyouboshi: as i said (WHAT ✵ because of those words)

[personal profile] jumyouboshi 2013-04-08 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[A ghost...like Poltergeist?]

...No. My form is corporeal, I assure you.

[...For the moment. Kazuya had no idea how close he was to the truth of what happened to him, there...]
belfire: (evil demon king grin)

[personal profile] belfire 2013-04-09 10:28 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno... you're pale, and you just appeared. You could be a ghost. You look like one.
jumyouboshi: what about it (GLANCE ✵ that something would change)

[personal profile] jumyouboshi 2013-04-09 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, admittedly, when he put it that way, he did seem like a ghost. However...]

Is that all that consists of your definition of a ghost?
belfire: (light demon king smile)

[personal profile] belfire 2013-04-10 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
Yup! So, Spooky, don't go possessing any people, or pulling Poltergeist shit here.
jumyouboshi: as i said (WHAT ✵ because of those words)

[personal profile] jumyouboshi 2013-04-10 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Alcor possessing anyone is a laughable thought.]

"Spooky"? That is not my name.
belfire: (irritated)

[personal profile] belfire 2013-04-17 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
I know that, idiot. It's a nickname. Your nickname is Spooky until I come up with a better and or funnier one.
jumyouboshi: (SUDDEN ✵ choices block our way)

[personal profile] jumyouboshi 2013-04-17 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Nicknames...those are indicators of affection or familiarity, yes? I don't recall having done anything to warrant such familiarity.

[Which made this seem rather strange to someone who puts quite the emphasis on names and whatnot. Of course, it was possible that Saiduq was familiar with him as well...]
belfire: (flat look)

[personal profile] belfire 2013-04-17 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
You're over thinking it. Just take the nickname, okay? You don't need to make some grand statement of friendship to get one.
jumyouboshi: placeholder (NEUTRAL ✵ that's something)

[personal profile] jumyouboshi 2013-04-17 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I was under the impression...

[He trails off, obviously having been proven wrong about his observations of "friendship" and "affection" and "nicknames.]

...All right.

[Though he'd prefer it if Kazuya used his name, a nickname was harmless, and he seemed rather adamant about Alcor accepting it.]
belfire: (light demon king smile)

[personal profile] belfire 2013-04-18 09:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Kazuya's not exactly a shining example of friendship and bonds like Kaito was, but even he knew nicknames were important!]

Great, now that's over. You give me a nickname. Kinda a tit-for-tat deal.
jumyouboshi: i decided i liked it better in black and white (SIDEGLANCE ✵ choked with tears)

[personal profile] jumyouboshi 2013-04-19 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
A nickname...?

[Oh. For Alcor to give a nickname, instead of a title...? He wasn't good at thinking up nicknames, seeing that he never received one or interacted with people who did until now. But he was given the change to bestow a not-title upon Kazuya so...

Hm...a name/title-thing that would accurately describe what he sensed from the teenager here. He held much demonic power, that was certain. A sort of...control. Almost as if he were a ruler. Such demonic qualities were certainly chaotic and...]


Very well...king of pandemonium.

[The scary thing is, he hasn't even been interacting with Naoya at all (aside from one instance). It's just a rather...strange coincidence. Honestly!

...That's still not a "nickname", though, Alcor.]
belfire: (uh...)

[personal profile] belfire 2013-04-24 09:00 am (UTC)(link)
...

[...]

...

[...wow]

Uh, that's... kind of like a title, not a nickname. And it's a bit long, as well. Nicknames are meant to be kind of short and sweet, like Spooky.
jumyouboshi: as i said (WHAT ✵ because of those words)

[personal profile] jumyouboshi 2013-04-24 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Is it? I'm afraid that the nuances of human naming convention elude me.

[He stares at Kazuya for a rather long time, perhaps much too long...

Titles? Easy. Nicknames? Not so easy. He wasn't casual with Kazuya at all, and he didn't know the other very well...

...This might take a while.]


belfire: (flat look)

[personal profile] belfire 2013-04-25 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
[This was just sad]

You know... most people make nicknames based on a physical feature, or their names. Like how I called you spooky coz you're all pale and can teleport like a ghost can.
