[log] now, the party don't start 'til I walk in

Who: Akechi, Mercy, Ren, Monika, with the second prompt OPEN MINGLE to anyone who wants to hang out at a club with Monika and co. for Monika's birthday (or just hang out at a club adjacent to Monika's birthday)
When: September 22--Monika's birthday
Where: shopping, then a club that accepts older teens (with wristbands if you're under drinking age)
Summary: It's Monika's birthday, and the decision has been made to go out and party. First, apartment A1 (including Honorary Roommate Ren) goes shopping to prep for said partying, and then they and anyone else who wants to tag along go to the club. Also, Akechi is one of the people going to this club, which will probably be funny.
Warnings: nothing major expected; potential for teen alcohol use; if anything happens in a thread just put warnings in the subject line please!

A. tryin' on all our clothes, clothes [CLOSED to Apartment A1 + Ren]
[If they're all going out for Monika's birthday, it's important to have the right style. It wouldn't be fair to call Mercy's outfits old-fashioned when it's not exactly her fault she got shot forward centuries in time, but now that Mercy is here, Monika is going to make sure she fits right in at the club. Also, it wouldn't hurt to pick out a cute new outfit for herself. The area of town she suggests isn't too expensive, but it's got some good clothing stores.]

Okay everyone! Priority number one is getting a great outfit for Mercy, but if you find something you like, you should grab it. [Treat yourself, this is going to be fun!]

B. DJ, blow my speakers up [OPEN MINGLE-STYLE; threadjacking encouraged!]
[It's the kind of club that accepts teens over sixteen but changes to 21 and up after a certain hour of the night. That makes it a more popular spot than some teen clubs might otherwise be, and the atmosphere is already electric by the time it's dark. The music thumps a bass you can feel in your chest and the dance floor is crowded, but not enough that you can't find a place to squeeze in if you want. If you're under 21, you have to wear a glow-in-the-dark wristband, but there's plenty of non-alcoholic beverages to try out. And of course, if you have a convincing fake ID, your options are a lot more open (just don't let Monika know!). The lights are a multicolored show of their own keeping time to the music, though the flashing is kept to a minimum.

If you're looking for a break or just want to sit and eat, there are booth tables available--small ones for more intimate moments and larger ones for big groups. Monika's picked one of the large ones as her Designated Birthday Table, if you're looking for her, but there's free ones all over the place if you want to have time to yourself! The food here's pretty good, too.]

Sounds it. I seen some of the warriors do their blade dancing at home during festivals.

[Mercy sets them more into a swaying rhythm that's a little closer to the dancing going on around them. She still feels rather inclined to keep a close hold on Aelwyn, though.]

You got the reflexes for it, you reckon? That's the only thing that's ever stopped me. Ain't keen on stabbing myself too much.

Hmmm... probably not. But I think it's like any skill, all you need is practice.[That's far from what her parents taught. She can feel their disapproval, worlds away, where unbeknownst to her both of them have met their horrific deaths. So fuck them and their elitist bullshit.]

And I have to say, as your partner, you're a natural at dancing already.

You're mighty kind to say as much. Easier to be a natural when you got good company on that, though.

[It is simple enough to follow the rhythm and the dancing here seems to be far less prescriptive than much of what they'd had back in the Abbey during festivals. It's just... fun, something that's pure entertainment without particulars to pay attention to.]

I got skills I need to keep sharp already, but I'll keep blade-dancing proper, in mind. Seems like dancing like this'd come in handy, though. Helps our sort of folk blend in, don't it?
